Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work (21) _________ children should not be sent to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation (22) _________ involves, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments (23) _________ such a strong conclusion.Firstly, experts point out that the isolated love affair between children and parents (24) _________ (find) in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone –far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today (25) _________ parents and care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and they have regularly reported that day care had a slightly positive effect on children’s development. But tests (26) ________ have been used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlb y’s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult (27) _________ (deal) with. Children under three are likely to protest at (28) _________ (leave) their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the change to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly (29) _________ more and more parents make use of child care at this time.

In the end, (22) ________ (exhaust) and hot, I couldn’t go any further. So we went back down the mountain in the end.On the way back down, my uncle asked me a question, (23) _____ left me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream,young lady?”“I have no idea,” I answered (24) _____thinking it for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his sto ry. He didn’t perform well at school when he was a student. Although nobody thought he could succeed, he knew clearly (25) ______his dream was-----to be a businessman. “I knew I wasn’t gifted when it came to studying, so I tried to buy snacks from a market and sell them after class,” he told me. After he left school, he started selling different items to find out which one was most attractive to customers. Of course, he often had no money in his pocket, but (26) ______ tough life was, he never gave up.“There is no doubt that a person who puts in a great deal of effort to reach his or her goal will have good luck at some point. The meaning of life is to chase your dream,” he said gently.That night I (27) ______ hardly fall asleep. I lay in bed tossing and turning, asking myself, “What’s my motivation?”I once wanted to be a top student, but the hard work needed meant (28) _____ (put) everything into following my passion. If I find myself lacking willpower, what should I do? Leaving home early the next morning, I climbed the mountain again by (29) _____. It made me think: If we don’t experience the climb, how can we get to see the scenery on the top of the mountain? In the end, I reached the top and (30) ______ (fascinate) by the warm breeze and sunshine. Nothing could be more pleasant than that.Keys:21. to climb22. exhausted23. which24. after25. what26. however27. could28. putting 29. myself 30. was fascinatedIs sport always fun ?One afternoon in the last week of term, I saw three children form my son’s school in tears being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year -old had stomach pains and (21) ______(throw ) up several times when I noticed his sickness. Talking to other mothers, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much suffering ? Sports day ---- not sports day at a highly competitive independent school, but at a large village primary. (22) ______ it causes no problem to the children who can fly (23) _____ the wind, for those who are poorly coordinated (动作协调), overweight or just not good at sport, it is terrible. Even for those who enjoy (24) ______(run ) but who fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.As for the reason (25) ______ we put our children through this annual suffering, some May say that competition is character-buliding or it is a tradition of school life; some may assume (26) ______ really matters is taking part not winning. I just felt pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of the “sport” were fun (27) ______ (watch) because they produced some close races, enormous enthusiasm and lots of shouting. More importantly , (28) ______(hide ) a little form everyone’s gaze, the children who were not so fast or so quick at passing the ball had the excitement of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could (29)________(abandon) and replaced with some other summer event. perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be (30) ________(stressful )for the children and a lot more fun for the spectators.Keys:21 had thrown 22 while/although/though 23 like 24 running 25 why 26 what27 to watch 28 hidden 29 be abandoned 30 less stressfulPlease mind the silenceDespite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that (21) you’re packed into an enclosed space with hundreds of otherpeople, the morning commute (上下班)can leave you feeling somewhat isolated.One London resident, however, is trying to change this.“You get on the Tube here and ifs completely silent and ifs weird," says Jonathan Dunne, 42, an American living in London, who has, ironically, started (22) ______ worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章)with the slogan “Tube chat?” last month, encou raging commuters in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting many refusals and most of them (23) (throw) away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign (24)_______ (feature) in media across the world ever since, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedbac k, not everyone agrees with his sentiment. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of (25) _______ own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them.“I (26)hardly stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he told the BBC. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and (27) work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatti ng to you,” he says. While London has its seemingly antisocial set of regulations to follow, not everywhere lacks a sense of community.Does Dunne hope that some of this community spirit (28) (mirror) in the UK following his campaign? “People assume th at I just walk up and talk to strangers, (29) I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” he says. “On Monday, Oct 10, the curator (馆长)of the London Transport Museum had me over for tea.”So if you ever end up (30) (use) public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you?

Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, (21)__________(force) to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better (22)__________ we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased (23)__________ 12% between 1999 and 2005. A large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus (24)__________(gain) more profits.Too much packaging is doing damage to the environment. If such packaging (25)__________(burn), it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, (26)__________ the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea (27)__________this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learn ed to associate packaging with quality. We have lea r ned to think that (28)__________ without packaging is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, (29)__________ often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collecting. However, despite the ongoing campaigns (30)__________(promote) consumers’ green awareness, we still have a long way to go.KEYS:21. being forced 22. if 23. by 24. gaining 25. is burnt 26. but 27. that 28. anything 29. which 30. to promotePrepare to SucceedPeople are always thinking about success. It is usually in their brains as they go about their daily routines (21)_______(look) for something better. This thought isn't one (22) brings you closer, however, because thinking, dreaming or wishing just doesn't get it done.One of the most important parts of personal or professional success is preparation. You may ask, “Why is preparation necessary?"The easiest answer to this question is to say that (23) you are not ready to move forward, then you may just as well keep doing what you have always done.Success doesn’t come easy. There are no shortcuts. Success requires you to be prepared to sacrifice leisure time, or time spent watching television or going out with your friends, at every opportunity. Success means you are prepared to do (24) it takes to constantly move the yardsticks forward clay after day.Here is just one quote, from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, that expresses what preparation is (25) : "Our real problem is not our strength today. It is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.”This quote can (26) . (interpret) lo mean that you may have strength or confidence to start on your way right now to move toward your final goal. However, it is also critical that committed action each day (27) (build) to help you keep going when obstacles arise or when you just don't feel like you have the interest or energy to stay (28) (locus).Preparation also means that you have u plan or a goal it shows you what steps or actions to take, when to lake them and what to do if issues, obstacles or (29)________life issues gel in the way.(30) bottom line is actually quite clear: You arc either willing, able and committed to achieve what you want, or you arc simply dreaming or wishing that success find you.KEYS:21. looking 22. that 23. if 24. whatever 25. about 26. be interpreted 27. builds 28. focused 29. other 30.

I was amazed to hear about the challenges (21) (face) by people with physical disabilities. However, (22) amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap (残障)facilities.Two women who (23) (use) wheelchairs all their life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to (24) (raise) awareness about disabilities. They educate about all the facilities for people with disabilities. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. So people (25) disabilities need to be educated about these facilities. And the meeting focused on educating the public.Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked wit h the “No Parking” signs. “(26)I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it/5 some people say. However, the women (27) use a wheelchair disagree to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. (28) it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. People who (29) (inf orm) of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack(停放架).Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about facilities made me see that there is work to be done.

She even suggested a camping stove. As she told tales of sleeping on train floors, on platforms, and even once in a barn, I began to get a little worried. (25) _______ had I let myself in for?In fact, my InterRail experience was quite different. Bella and I googled youth hostels. They were pretty basic—six people to a room, stale cereal for breakfast, no curtains—but fine. We never slept on a train once.My InterRail trip was certainly not as economical as my mother’s. My ticket (26) ______ (cost) £187(1,954 yuan), and I spent £30 a day on cheap food and extra ticket supplements.But I met some (27) ______ (amaze) people on the trains, and practiced my German with everyone (28) ______ businessmen to artists.In my mother’s eyes I (29) ______ not have had a “real” InterRail experience—but I still had an adventure.

The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments handed out to the stories' bad guys are too much for some parents.So what accounts for their popularity? Some have suggested that it is (29) ______ the characters are always striving for happiness. But the truth probably lies in their origin. Grimms' tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without boundaries(界限) of age or culture. The brothers' skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)。

They had no illustrations,and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales(25) __________.Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began their work at a time(26)__________Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon.The new rulers restricted local culture.As young scholars,the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany.(27)_______the brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales,Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of1857.In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents,he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles.To this day,parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories:keep your promises,don’t talk to strangers,work hard,obey your parents.Yet(28)_______all Wilhelm’s additions,the most important part of these stories was left untouched.The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments handed out to the stories’bad guys are too much for some parents.So what accounts for their popularity?Some have suggested that it is(29)_______the characters are always striving for happiness.But the truth probably lies in their origin.Grimms’tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without boundaries(界限)of age or culture.The brothers’skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)_______moods or interests we bring to our reading of them.And so it was that the Grimms’fairy tales lived happily ever after.杨浦区2019学年度第一学期高三模拟质量调研Killer RabbitsYou’d never think of rabbits as dreadful,destructive creatures,would you?Rabbits are cute and loveable.However,Australians discovered(21)________harm these cute creatures can do the hard way.Rabbits were introduced to Australia in1788as food animals.By1827,they were running around large estates,and in1859,disaster struck.A man released12wild rabbits onto his property for hunting and he(22)________have thought that was harmless fun.But Australia has no predators(捕食者)(23)________(adapt)to killing rabbits and none of the diseases that kept their populations(24)________control in Europe.The loose rabbits bred like,well,rabbits,and began to take over the countryside.Within a few decades,there were millions.By1950,there were600 million rabbits in Australia.Six hundred million hungry rabbits could do real harm.They caused more damage than any other species introduced to the continent.They ate native plant species(25)________they disappeared.They competed for food and shelter with native animals.They caused the extinction or endangerment of numerous plant and animal species.And they were a nightmare for cattle and sheep farmers,(26)_________animals couldn't get enough grass to eat and starved.The rabbits did some good,of course.They provided food for poor families.They supported fur industries.But their impact on the environment and major livestock economy was too negative (27)________(ignore).People tried trapping them.They even built a huge wall against them.But(28)________(effective)weapon was a virus.(29)_________(test)multiple times,the deadly myxoma virus was released on Australia's rabbits in1950.The virus had been developed very carefully to affect only rabbits.Nearly100 percent of the rabbits who caught the disease(30)________(die).Populations fell.It was a huge success.Cattle and sheep farming recovered gradually,and threatened plants were better protected.

1.宝山区SOS message on the sand saves missing sailorsMicronesia is an area of the western Pacific Ocean with more than 600 islands, (21) covers a huge area of ocean north of the large island of New Guinea.Recently, three Micronesian sailors set out to sail 42 km from one Micronesian island to another. Unfortunately, they got (22) (lose), and then they ran out of fuel. After a long time drifting without power in the ocean, they landed on the tiny island of Pikelot, more than 100 km from their destination.Pikelot is just 450 meters long and 280 meters wide. The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water. The little island (23) (cover) in trees and has sandy beaches.Three days after the three sailors set out on their voyage, they did not arrive at their destination, so ships and aircraft in the area began looking for the (24) (miss) men. But it was almost impossible to decide where (25) (look) because there are so many small islands and the ocean is so large. One of the ships was the Australian navy ship HMAS Canberra, which (26) (sail) from Australia to Hawaii and had a helicopter on board.During this time, the three sailors decided to write (27) message on the beach on their tiny island. They wrote a huge SOS in the sand. SOS is an international signal that people use (28) they need help. Luckily, people on an American aircraft saw the SOS message in the sand and contacted the Canberra. A helicopter (29) the ship landed on the beach and gave the men food and water. Soon after, a Micronesian boat arrived and rescued the three sailors. They are very lucky to be alive, and it was the SOS message in the sand (30) saved them.答案:21. which 22. lost 23. is covered 24. missing 25. to look 26. was sailing 27. a28. when 29.from 30. ThatGeography Makes a Silent ReturnIn many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true. Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, people didn’t really know (22)existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23) (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t alw ays been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hundred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25) (tell) people about our exciting world.Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditiona l geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) (important).While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Toda y, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30) number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing.Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.答案:21. labelling / labeling 22. what 23. defined 24. that / which 25. have told / have beentelling 26. to find 27. where / wherever 28. less important 29. i s used 30. theChildren moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as itis playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, 21 almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They kind of 22 (worry) about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also upset about “sharenting” – when parents post pictures of them on social media without 23 (permit) – and show the concern 24 their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds , shows that 25 most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an 26 (estimate)75% of 10- to 12-year-olds will have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If Igot 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.”Some children described feeling 27 (confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “28 (compare) yourself with them, you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.”Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect 29 from the risks that social media will present.”“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children 30 (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibil ities.” Longfield s aid.答案:21.when 22. worry 23. being permitted 24.that 25.although/ though/ while 26. estimated27. less confident paring 29. himself 30.are preparedThe Rise of Robot-ChefsCREATOR is a new hamburger joint in San Francisco. It now claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6 -- in other words, (21) (provide) the quality associated with expensive restaurants at a fast-food price. What matters behind this claim is that its chef is a robot.Crea tor’s burger robot is a trolley-sized unit that has a footprint of two square metres. Customers send it their orders via a tablet. They are able to cook everything from (22) well-done the burger will be to the type of cheese and toppings they want.The process sounds rather simple now. But, in fact, the machine took eight years to perfect after it (23) (create). As far back as 2012, a mere two years into the project, it was described as “95% reliable”, but that is not enough for a busy kitchen. Chopping tomatoes was a particularly tough challenge, but even details like the very tool (24)packs the burger into a bag without squeezing it were tricky for the machine to master. Only now, with a machine to make reliably 120 burgers an hour, (25) Alex Vardakostas, the engineer behind the project, and his co-founders, a mixture of technologists and caterers, feel confident enough to open their first restaurant.Creator is not alone. Other robot chefs have already been working, (26) (prepare) entire meals, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of the world. (27) that, this new wave of automation could signal a dramatic shift in the way the fast food industry employs people. That does not necessarily mean (28) (employ) fewer staff. Rathe r, more of them will be in roles where they can directly help customers. “Creator’s goal is not to be the most automated and (29) (human-centered) restaurant, but actually not,” said Vardakostas.It is too early to say whether this first wave of robot chefs will develop well in such a demanding environment as the kitchen. (30) it does, it’s certain to mark a change in our relationship with cookery. Cooking could be something people choose to do simply for the sheer pleasure of it.答案:21. to provide 22. how 23. had been created 24. that 25. do 26. preparing 27. In spite of28. employing 29. the least human-centered 30. IfConsider the Mechanical PencilIf you used to collect small objects, I’m sure(if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I’ve long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) (hide) in an empty mooncake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don’t have to buy (25) wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil! There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils “lead pencil” in casual conversation, the term “lead pencil” is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: “John, stop that! You’re going to get lead poisoning!” I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29) the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30) (use) tomorrow.答案:21. went 22. how/when 23. had hidden 24. sharpening/to be sharpened25. another/a 26. which 27. can 28. safer 29. now that/in that 30. to useTasting a Biker’s LifeFor most of my life I knew nothing about motorcycles. I believed that motorcycleriders were tough and leather-wearing loners. They seemed (21) (look) fortrouble all the time, using the roar of a motorcycle engine to frighten others off.Then, on a warm May evening outside my house, my cousin came and showed mehis new motorcycle. Never had a real motorcycle (22) (present) in front ofme by a close family member. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he asked. But I didn’t really understand what I was looking at.It wasn’t until August (23) I was able to actually ride on the motorcycle with him. I prepared (24) oversized leather jacket for myself. (25) (fill) with nervous energy, I held on tightly to my cousin. Soon the bike carried us onto the top of the hill, (26) we stopped to watch the sun set over the city below. I realized that was the most relaxing moment for me in months.Since then, my prejudices about motorcycle bikers (27) (start) to shift. On the back of a motorcycle, (28) (place) all your trust in someone to get you safely home is a way to remind you of the love they have for you. Later, whenever my cousin was gone on a Saturday ride, I would try on his leathers and look in the mirror, wondering if I was (29) a biker myself.Maybe the most important lesson, though, is that you really can’t judge a man by his appearance, (30)much leather he wears. Motorcycle bikers are not scary, or mean, or unapproachable. They’re adults who remember the freedom of riding their first bicycle, and are continuously seeking to recreate the experience.答案:21. to be looking 22. been presented 23. that 24. an 25.

Melbourne (21) (top) the list for the fifth year running.The rankings rate “relative comfort” for more than 30 factors across five categories: stability, health care, education, infrastructure (基础设施), and culture and environment. The final scores (22) (calculate) as a percentage ranging from 1 (“intolerable”) to a perfect score of 100 (“ideal”).Take a look at the top 10 cities, and you will find that half of (23) are in Australia and New Zealand, three in Canada, and two in Europe.

Considering tree leaves can literally be picked up from the street this time of year, it's understandable that some people went after Waitrose, accusing the supermarket of trying to make money by selling (22) that is actually free."A bag of actual leaves? I'll sell you a bin bag of leaves for 10p," one customer wrote."This has got to be from the drunk Monday morning meeting category of ideas," someone else commented.Apparently, the bizarre bouquets appeared on Waitrose supermarket shelves as a way to welcome autumn, and (23) (feature) a sticker urging customers to "bring the outdoors inside". "Brighten up your home with freshly picked f lowers (24) pleasant scents ( 香味) refresh the season," the official product description read. "We source the best blooms from expert growers, and handle them gently (25)they can look beautiful for longer."(26)the generally negative feedback on its autumn-themed product, the British supermarket proudly announced that the idea (27) (inspire) at the beginning of autumn by a demand from shoppers."(28) we intend to offer, we base our decision on the demands from customers. Our customers love using these leaves to mix in with their seasonal flowers to brighten their homes," a Waitrose spokesperson told The Sun.Interestingly, there were those who seemed to somewhat justify the price tag of this bag of leaves. They said that those were obviously "high quality leaves". Their claim (29) be true. But even a bottle of wine can be bought at the same price or less. It seems crazy to charge 6 pounds for a bag of leaves.This isn't the first time that English shops and supermarkets (30) (make) news headlines for selling free things at high prices. There used to be a shop in London, which sold painted logs for $14 apiece.答案:21 causing 22 something 23 featured 24 whose 25 so that 26 Despite 27 was inspired/had beeninspired 28 Whatever 29 may/can//could/might 30 have madeThere are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining (21) we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering (22) (consider) a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoying his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and (23) is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that (24) some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider (25) unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but (26) one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who (27) (experience) frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one (28) be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and (29) which you have given your best effort.”Whatever you define success, remember, we are born to live the lives we truly want and deserve, but not just the lives (30) (settle) for us.答案:21. whether / if 22. is considered 23. who 24. even though/if 25. themselves26. if 27. was experiencing 28. can /could 29. to 30. settled10.浦东新区Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans (21) (wonder) how many could harbor life.Now, we’re one step closer to (22) (find) an answer. According to the Kepler space telescope, about half the stars similar in temperature (23) our Sun could have a rocky planet capable of supporting liquid water on its surface.Our galaxy holds at least an (24) (estimate) 300 million of these potentially habitable worlds, based on even the most conservative interpretation of the results in a new study to be published in The Astronomical Journal.This research helps us understand the potential for these planets (25) (support) life. This is an essential part of astrobiology, the study of life’s origins and future in our universe.The study is authored by NASA scientists (26) worked on the Kepler mission alongside collaborators from around the world. NASA retired the space telescope in 2018 after it ran out of fuel. Nine years of the telescope’s observations revealed that there are billions of planets in our galaxy -- more planets than stars.(27)this result is far from a final value, it’s extremely exciting that we calculated that these worlds are this common with such high confidence.That’s a wide range of different stars, each with (28) own particular properties impacting whether the rocky planets in its orbit are capable of supporting liquid water. These complexities are partly why it is so difficult to calculate how many potentially habitable planets are out there, especially when even our (29) (powerful) telescopes can just barely detect these small planets. That’s (30) the research team took a new approach.答案:21. have wondered(或have been wondering) 22. finding 23. to 24. estimated 25. to support 26. who 27.

These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, (22) (deliver) a wealth of reading materials directly to the youngsters who have limited access to book s. “A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Rim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who (23)(inspire) to start Charm, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand (24) we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”For many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, and in some cities public transport is being regarded as means of getting books to communities that need (25) most. The vehicle was rebuilt not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to improve people’s life.Comic books were left on trains, buses and underground systems in the cities around the UK (26)(early) this month to mark 80 years of Marvel Comics.●Carriages on the two subway trains in Beijing were turned into audio book libraries, where passengers were able todownload books. To give the train a library feel, the walls are decorated with books, (27) covers look like bookshelves.●People in the Netherlands get to travel on trains for free during the country’s annual book week celebrations.Passengers can present a novel (28) a rail ticket.●In the Greek city of Thessaloniki, the transport ministry installed mini libraries at bus stops (29) (allow)passengers to read as they wait for the bus, or borrow and read on their journey to be returned at a later date.●Passengers on New York’s subway (30) download free short stories, poems, essays and so on totheir devices.答案:答案:21. stocked 22. delivering 23. was inspired 24. what 25. them26. earlier 27. whose 28. instead of / rather than 29. to allow 30. canEating jellyfish could save endangered fishAccording to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction —everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn’t great news, (21) the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood — and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate ( 无脊椎的) species (22) (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23) they’re eating.The research team stresses the fact (24) this is only a brief view of the real problem. “A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish’. Here we didn’t look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25) the actual species was listed —so we’ve made a huge unde restimate of the actual catch of endangered species.”There are some ways to untie the mess we’re creating in the world’s oceans, including (26) (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested (27) as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28) the menu. “We need to improve the labelling of seafood (29) the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice,” UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30) (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there’s the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood. There’s also Seafood Watch in the US, which is run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.答案:21. but22. are required23. what24. that25. where26. expanding27. it 28. off29. so that30. easierMusic Festival in MontrealEvery Sunday afternoon in the Plateau section ( 高原地区) of Montreal, thousands of people of all ages, nationalities, and economic backgrounds gather at the Jacques Cartier Monument in Mont Royal Park to play instruments, sing and dance. This weekly joyful event is called the “Tam-tam”— a name (21) (refer) to an African drum — and has become an institution among Montreal’s bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人).The Plateau is one of Canada’s most racially varied districts where French and English are both spoken, unlike the rest of French-speaking Montreal. Many artists, musicians, and writers inhabit this area due to the cheap rent of apartments and studios. In the sixties, it became known (22) the bohemian area of Montreal, and the stores began selling clothing, music and books (23) satisfied the tastes.Mont Royal Park is (24) many of these artists and musicians would meet in the sixties to have lunch or just spend an afternoon together. Musicians brought instruments, and eventually impromptu ( 即兴的) performance of jazz got started, (25) (attract) poets who recited their works to the music being performed.Word got out about these gatherings, and it appealed to even more people until it was decided that these gatherings would happen every Sunday afternoon. Not only (26) people have a great time at these gatherings, but it was also an excellent opportunity for musicians (27) (schedule) further meetings in order to cooperate on musical projects.Tam-tam (28) (become) a sort of Montreal institution already, which is drawing thousands of people every week and representing freedom and creativity, owing to (29) impromptu nature. The event begins around noon and ends at sunset.

And, they say, they (21) (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl. She heads the National Writing Project, (23) offers help for teachers who want to push students to write more.Elyse said, “I have to say (24) we want an education system just (25) (focus) on making people consumers and not on helping them be producers, this emphasis on reading only -- which does happen in so many places -- is very short-sighted.”She said students’ writing work now usually centers on examining a text, (26) presenting a new idea. Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstrate you’re learning (27) someone has taught you ”Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.She said writing affects a person’s ability to r ead and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) they start. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective readers, too.Elyse said employers today seek work ers “all the time” who can write well. Digital tools increasingly mean that people are “(29)(interact) with the internet through writing,” she said.Young people are already writing all the time -- through text messages, emails and on social media.Elyse believes every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet. So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through diff iculties they face in life “subconsciously”.“They’re not writing a story about a difficult father or directly about a bully in class, (30) creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”答案:21. are overlooked 22. more active23. which24. unless 25. focused26. instead of/rather than 27. what28. when29. interacting 30. but。

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.Unit 1, 宝ft区:Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen lives with her family in Copenhagen, Denmark. There are soldiers on the streets, and the c ountry (21) (occupy)by the Nazis. There isn't enough to eat, and the world is at war. Then the Nazis decideto "relocate" the country's Jewish population. The Danes don't know (22)their friends and neighbors are being taken away. They don't know where they are going, either. But they do know that it is wrong and dangerous and that they must help.Number the Stars is a very powerful novel. During World War II, the Nazis (23) (kill) millions of people in Europe. Many of those people were Jewish.But in Denmark, almost all of the Jewish population was saved. Number the Stars is a work of fiction, but it tells the true story of t he Jewish(24) (rescue)during the war. The moving plot is driven by justice, danger and excitement. But the book also deals with significant ideas that are m uch (25) (big)than the story itself.Annemarie must learn that evil doesn't just appear in fairy tales. It's a real thing that affects real people. She must also struggle with questions of loyalty and sacrifice. Who would she die to protect? And is she brave enough (26) (make) that sacrifice? Most importantly, Annemarie learns t hat (27) (be) brave doesn't mean being fearless. It means doing the right thing despite the f act (28) you are afraid, That's heavy stuff for a children's novel.I have taught Number the Stars to many classes at many different levels. It has always been a popular choice. It uses simple language and sentences. It is easy to read and provides clear examples of literary techniques like foreshadowing(预示). But it is also interesting, and the characters a re (29) (engage). The plot is full of tension.Lois Lowry. The author, has written award-winning novels for young people.

So April told him “son, (22) you are going to complain about something, you have to do something about it or let it go”Next thing April knew, Preston was taking on odd jobs and asking for donations(23 (buy) flags and flowers for every veteran in his grandpa’s cemetery. And when that cemetery(24) (cover), he moved on to another, and then another.Here we are,nearly three years and about 65,000 graves later. He does it every week(25) the weather is like,rain or shine---especially rain,” They were out there in the rain doing their j ob, (26) (protect)us,” Preston said,His devotion is infections.When word gets out(27) Preston will be at a cemetery---he has a Facebook page,Preston Sharp/Vet flags and Flowers---people,like Vietnam veteran Fred Loveland, feel(28) (oblige)to join in, ”It’s amazing,” Loveland said.” What he’s doing b rings (29) out because we can’t believe a young man in this country is doing what he does, ”It is a movement of young and old, of those who served and those who are so grateful for what they did, all led by a proud grandson(30) saw an injustice and decided to do something about it.21. have seen 22.if/when/whenever 23. to buy 24.was covered/had been covered 25 .whatever 26. protecting 27.that 28. obliged 29. us 30. who/thatUnit 3, 崇明区Electric Bike Ban in New York Hurts Food Delivery WorkersA ban on electric bicycles in New York City is hurting delivery workers who depend on them to earn a living. Many of the workers are immigrants.Electric bicycles, or “e-bikes,” look like regular bicycles, but they have electric- powered motors to assist riders in moving the bike forward. Most e-bikes reach speeds of about 32 kilometers an hour, but some can go much (21) (fast).(22) it is legal to own e-bikes in New York City, it is not legal to operate them. Officials there consider the dangerous use of e-bikes on streets and sidewalks as the reason (23) the ban. Last year, the city announced severe measures (24) (mean) to hold e-bike riders and restaurants that employ the riders responsible.E-bike operators can now be fined $500 for breaking the ban. The police (25) also seize the bikes.Many of New York’s delivery workers are Chinese immigrants in their 50s and 60s. Their job requires them to work quickly and for long h ours (26) (earn) enough money to live on.Delivery worker Deqing Lian said it is important to perform quality work (27)their job also depends on tips. He added that when delivery workers are too slow, some people r efuse to pay for the food, which makes the workers’ supervisors angry.Liqiang Liu is an e-bike delivery worker and spokesperson for the New YorkDelivery Workers Union. He says (28) (catch) breaking the ban and having the bike seized would cause costly delays for workers.Do Lee is with the Biking Public P roject, (29) provides assistance to bicycle-related worker s in New York City. He says the city’s ban on e-bikes is unfairly targeting low-paid workers who largely come from the city’s Latino and Asian communities. He does not accept the argument (30) e-bikes present a danger to citizens. However, many New Yorkers are quick to blame e-bike riders for not being safe.21. faster 22.

It’s probably not what you think. In the past 30 years of conducting clinical research, I (21) (learn) that real keys are pleasure, joy and freedom. Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.Why? Because life is to be enjoyed. There’s no point (22) (abandon) something you enjoy unless you get something back that’s even better, and quickly. When people eat more healthfully, (23) (quit) smoking, and manage stress better, they find they feel so much better, so quickly. It reconstructs the reason for making these changes from fear of dying to joy of living.When you exercise and eat right, your brain receives more blood flow and oxygen, so you become smarter, have more energy, and need less sleep. Two studies showed just walking for three hours per week for only three months caused so many neurons (神经细胞) (24) (grow) that it actually increased the size of people’s brains!Your face receives more blood flow, so your skin glows more and wrinkles less. You look younger and more attractive. In contrast, an unhealthy diet, lasting emotional stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your f ace (25)you age more quickly. Smoking speeds up aging because nicotine contributes to your blood vessel becoming narrower, (26) decreases blood flow to your face and makes it wrinkle prematurely. This is why smokers look years older than they really are.One of the most interesting findings was that the mothers’ awareness of stress was more important than (27) was objectively occurring in their lives. (28)(give) a questionnaire, the women were asked to rate on a three-point scale how stressed they felt each day. The women who realized they were under heavy stress had significantly shortened and damaged telomeres(染色体端粒)compared with (29) who felt more relaxed. Contrarily, some of the women who felt relaxed (30) raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.In other words, if you feel stressed, you are stressed.21. have learned 22. abandoning 23. quit 24.to grow 25. so that 26. which27. what 28.

Firstly, the festival can start with a 30-minute discussion where groups of students can exchange and share what they (23) (expose) to recently, expressing themselves freely. Following this section is the speech. Teacher and student representatives previously selected by us are to share and recommend the book they think really deserving to be read. It’s needless to say that the last sharing section which is the most meaningful is donation, during (24) time everyone present, teachers or students, is expected to donate one or more books to the library. As for w hen (25) (hold) the activity, the afternoon may be an ideal choice so that it won’t interrupt our classes.My advice is justified by the following reasons. First and foremost, it is in the group discussion and exchange that we students can have a thorough idea (26) our peers are reading for the moment, serving as a driving force for our own reading journey. So it is (27) the books recommended. Named by those “idols” in our mind, they will definitely win our heart. As for the donation, the benefits are exactly self-evident. (28) can we share beyond our class or even beyond our school, developing a good campus tradition, but (29) (importantly), these books which are sure to be dusted on our shelves can now be of more value.I’m looking forward to your favorable reply. And (30) is my sincere hope that the festival can be a great success and we can gain a lot from it.Yours, Amy Young21. can 22. consisting 23. have been exposed 24. which 25. to hold26. what 27. with 28.

But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean t hem.In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone’s owner reported the theft before 22(die)from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms a nd finally 23 (confess)to the crime.24 in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look atthe surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars? “That's all you,” says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell. “That’s biological information.”It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from 25 of your friends and family. They’re like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues.In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants’ homes, 26 countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner. I n an 27 (early)study, a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who 28 (use)a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature.One day, microbial signatures m ight show 29 people have gone andwhat they have touched. They could prove 30 an unmarked device is y ours. So, sure, your phone is pretty germy. Does that inspire you, or does it just bother you?21. the 22. dying 23.confessed 24.

Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their datato advertisers that want to send (22) (target) messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no i dea (23) they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules (24) many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names — were set, by default(默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “(25)(satisfying) experience.”Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, (26) involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they are connecting with their friends online?So far the privacy issue (27) (land) Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set regulations for social-networking sites.I suspect that whatever Facebook has d one (28) (invade) our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering (29) (cancel) my account.Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that (30) information is in the hands of people I don’t trust.

When good things happen, we feel excited, proud and happy.But the problem is, happiness doesn’t usually last. The excitement of that first bicycle purchase wears off, and the pride in the scholarship gives way to the stress of performing (22) (well) on the next exam.Psychologists call this phenomenon hedonic adaptation (享乐适应症)—that is, (23)good something makes us feel, most of the time we drift back to (24) we started. An often (25) (quote) example is that lottery winners are no happier than non-winners eighteen months after their win.But don’t despair. It is possible to make happiness last. Psychologists have found two anti-adaptation tools that are effective in sustaining happiness: variety and appreciation.Variety is, as we all know, the spice of life. But it’s also a useful weapon (26) adaptation. Positive changes that (27) (experience) in a variety of ways are more likely to lead to lasting happiness. For example, you will feel happier about your volunteer work (28) you are able to cope with new tasks every week. The second tool, appreciation, is in many ways the opposite of adaptation. It’s about focusing on something, instead of letting it fade into the background. It is only when you appreciate s omething (29) an enduring feeling of happiness will follow.Human beings spend a lot of time figuring out what makes them happy, but not enough time (30) (try) to hang on to the happiness they already h ave. This is like focusing all your energy on making more money, without giving any thought to what you will do with the money. The key to happiness is to not only look for new opportunities but also to make the most of the ones you’ve been given. 21. when 22.better 23. no matter how 24. where 25. quoted26. against 27. are experienced 28. if 29. that 30. tryingUnit 9, 静安区“I love the work and experience I’ve gained, but I am frustrated by the disorganized management. Also, I’ve been told I can’t ask for more money. I can get a new job with more pay, but will (21) (leave) within a year hurt my professional reputations?”The answer is , “it depends”.When we choose to leave a new job early, it sends the messagethat(22) is terribly wrong, especially in the current economicclimate(23) unemployment is higher and people are dying for jobs. Thatmeans you will somehow look s uspicious (24) you say about the leave. Saying the work is great but you don’t like management or the pay won’t go over well with employers. To them, it sounds a bit selfish and needy. No doubt, they (25) (question) your ability to be patient or be a good team players.Employers dislike people who are unhappy in job after less than a year. It implies impatience and lack of appreciation for the employer. Plus, you’re getting paid to do work you actually like, so they 26 assume that you can’t put up with a little disorganization. And speaking of pay, most companies work 27 an annual review basis, so suddenly asking for more money doesn’t work for their b udgets.

But the paradox(悖论) is that our children can only truly succeed (21)they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that world-class figure skaters fall over more often in practice than low-level figure skaters. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice. (22) (stretch) their limitations, they keep trying their best. They fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lower-level skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, (23) (remain) within their comfort zone. This is why they don’t fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. Never (24) (fail) in practice prevents them from making progress.(25)is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 prototypes (原型) for his newest vacuum before coming up with the design(26) made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put(27) : “You can’t develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.”In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don’t like to admit to failure, partly because they have strong egos ( 自我) —particularly the senior doctors—and partly because they fear litigation (诉讼). The consequence is that (28) learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes (29) (repeat).

Every year I thought that I needed to prepare for it and used that as my excuse. But (23) ____ (look) back, I realize I would have been fine. Cycling uphill was no problem for me then- it was thrilling. Now it’s exhausting.Last summer I finally decided to take on Wuling with some friends. Our 89-kilometer route started at the base of the mountain and was a little shorter than the official KOM race. But it’s the final 10 kilometers (24) ____ are the most demanding: This is the steepest part, (25) ____ makes the climb so hard.We began early in the morning as a group of 17 riders. But only three of us would make it to the top.

Even though it was August, the weather was perfect. Unfortunately, the support car that carried our lunch (28) _____ (delay). By the time it arrived, I was starving. Being consumed of energy even for that short time affected the rest of my ride. When the hard last 10 kilometers arrived, I really struggled to complete them.

That’s (24) _____ we’ve decided that we will reward thos e efforts by offering a Sustainability Award every year at our show,” said Symons.At the show last month, 120 artists from across the United States presented works of art in 12 different materials. Twenty-one artists met the requirements for sustainability. By doing so, they won the right (25) _____ (compete) for the Honoring the Future Sustainability Award.

Sadly, this is not always the case.Many scientists are still quite unwilling to have their data revealed though attitudes are changing. This attitude, (22) _____ selfish, is understandable.But sometimes it can cover a darker secret. The statistics presented in a paper may have been controlled to achieve a desired result. The author may, in other words, have cheated. If he releases the data, that cheating will be obvious.Now Sean Wilner and his colleagues (23) _____ (come) up with a way of reconstructing all the possible data sets that could have given rise to that result, which includes (24) _____ (release) the data. And they call the way CORVIDS (Complete Recovery of Values in Diophantine Systems).(25) _____ (simplify) the task of spotting abnormal data, CORVIDS turns the possible data sets into a three-dimensional(三维的) chart. This makes any unusual patterns apparent. For example, every (26) _____ (reconstruct) data set may be missing values at one end of the scale. That might make sense occasionally. Generally, though, such a gap would be a red flag. It would suggest either that the statistics were reported incorrectly or (27) _____ there were problems with the fundamental data.CORVIDS is likely to be (28) _____ immediate value to editors and reviewers at academic journals, who will be able to spot problems with papers early, and so discuss them with the authors. If an unresolvable problem (29) _____ show up, then the technique can be applied to previous work by the author in question, to see if anything systematic is going on.But its speed makes it a useful first step.

One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills (28) ______ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish (29) ______ not. (They’re not sure about birds.)How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours.

Below are three research-backed brain benefits of sleep.Stimulates creativityThinking in new, imaginative ways requires a well-rested brain. On the contrary, a brain (22) __________ (suffer) from a lack of sleep is unable to think creatively.A study (23) __________ (report) in the journal Nature bears this out. For the study, participants learned a task (24) __________ they had to recognize a hidden pattern in the questions they were asked. Their initial training (25) __________ (follow) by eight hours of nighttime sleep or wakefulness or daytime wakefulness.More than twice as many participants gained insight into the hidden rule after sleep as those who did after wakefulness, regardless of the time of day. The researchers concluded that “sleep, by restructuring new memory representations, (26) __________ (facilitate) obtaining of expressive knowledge and insightful behavior.”Reduces depressionOften influenced by chemical imbalances in the brain, depression and sleep problems go hand-in-hand. People with depression may either have a hard time sleeping or else get too much sleep.While it's not clear (27) __________ lack of sleep causes depression, it can worsen it. Studies show people who sleep fewer than six or more than nine hours a night are more likely to be depressed than those (28) __________ between.Solidifies memoriesOne of sleep's main functions is to help improve memory. It does this by enabling the brain to strengthen some neural pathways (神经通路) (29) __________ reducing those it doesn't need.

It makes depressing reading – “sobering”(清醒) would be the wrong word here, not least (22) _________ few people are likely to change their behaviour as a result. But it is difficult to argue with the conclusions.

Unfortunately, they got (22) (lose), and then they ran out of fuel. After a long time drifting without power in the ocean, they landed on the tiny island of Pikelot, more than 100 km from their destination.Pikelot is just 450 meters long and 280 meters wide. The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water. The little island (23) (cover) in trees and has sandy beaches.Three days after the three sailors set out on their voyage, they did not arrive at their destination, so ships and aircraft in the area began looking for the (24) (miss) men. But it was almost impossible to decide where (25) (look) because there are so many small islands and the ocean is so large. One of the ships was the Australian navy ship HMAS Canberra, which (26) (sail) from Australia to Hawaii and had a helicopter on board.During this time, the three sailors decided to write (27) message on the beach on their tiny island. They wrote a huge SOS in the sand. SOS is an international signal that people use (28) they need help. Luckily, people on an American aircraft saw the SOS message in the sand and contacted the Canberra. A helicopter (29) the ship landed on the beach and gave the men food and water. Soon after, a Micronesian boat arrived and rescued the three sailors. They are very lucky to be alive, and it was the SOS message in the sand (30) saved them.Two【黄浦一模】Consider the Mechanical PencilIf you used to collect small objects, I’m sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I’ve long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) (hide) in an empty mooncake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don’t have to buy (25) wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead ( 铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil! There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils “lead pencil” in casual conversation, the term “lead pencil” is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third- grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: “John, stop that! You’re going to get lead poisoning!” I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29)the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30) (use) tomorrow.Three【崇明一模】Geography Makes a Silent ReturnIn many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true. Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, people didn’t really know (22) existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23) (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t alwa ys been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hundred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25)(tell) people about our exciting world.Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditional geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) (important).While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Today, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30)number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing.Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.Four【徐汇一模】When educators think of literacy -- the ability to read and write -- they often place more importance on students’ abilities to read and fully understand a piece of writing.But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. And, they say, they (21) (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman- Aadahl. She heads the National Writing Project, (23) offers help for teachers who want to push students to write more.Elyse said, “I have to say (24) we want an education system just (25) (focus) on making people consumers and not on helping them be producers, this emphasis on reading only -- which does happen in so many places -- is very short-sighted.”She said students’ writing work now usually centers on examining a text, (26)presenting a new idea. Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstrate you’re learning (27) someone has taught you ”Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.She said writing affects a person’s ability to read and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) they start. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective readers, too.Elyse said employers today seek workers “all the time” who can write well. Digital tools increasingly mean that people are “(29)(interact) with the internet through wri ting,” she said.Young people are already writing all the time -- through text messages, emails and on social media.Elyse believes every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet. So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life “subconsciously”.“They’re not writing a story about a difficult father or directly about a bull y in class, (30) creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”Five【虹口一模】The Rise of Robot-ChefsCREATOR is a new hamburger joint in San Francisco. It now claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6 -- in other words, (21) (provide) the quality associated with expensive restaurants at a fast- food price. What matters behind this claim is that its chef is a robot.Creator’s burger robot is a trolley-sized unit that has a footprint of two square metres. Customers send it their orders via a tablet. They are able to cook everything from (22) well-done the burger will be to the type of cheese and toppings they want.The process sounds rather simple now. But, in fact, the machine took eight years to perfect after it (23) (create). As far back as 2012, a mere two years into the project, it was described as “95% reliable”, but that is not enough for a busy kitchen. Chopping tomatoes was a particularly tough challenge, but even details like the very tool (24) packs the burger into a bag without squeezing it were tricky for the machine to master. Only now, with a machine to make reliably 120 burgers an hour, (25) Alex Vardakostas, the engineer behind the project, and his co-founders, a mixture of technologists and caterers, feel confident enough to open their first restaurant.Creator is not alone. Other robot chefs have already been working, (26) (prepare) entire meals, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of the world. (27) that, this new wave of automation could signal a dramatic shift in the way the fast food industry employs people. That does not necessarily mean (28) (employ) fewer staff. Rather, more of them will be in roles where they can directly help customers. “Creator’s goal is not to be the most automated and (29) (human- centered) restaurant, but actually not,” said Vardakostas.It is too early to say whether this first wave of robot chefs will develop well in such a demanding environment as the kitchen. (30) _ it does, it’s certain to mark a change in our relationship with cookery. Cooking could be something people choose to do simply for the sheer pleasure of it.Six【闵行一模】There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining (21) we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering (22) (consider) a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoying his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and (23) is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that (24) some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider (25) unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but (26) one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who (27) (experience) frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one (28) be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances fo r success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and (29) which you have given your best effort.”Whatever you define success, remember, we are born to live the lives we truly want and deserve, but not just the lives (30) (settle) for us.Seven【普陀一模】The Popular Mobile LibraryAround the world, the mobile library projects are bringing books and even advice to communities with serious and urgent needs.Every week, two modified blue buses (21) (stock) with children’s books carefully run down the streets of Kabul. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, (22) (deliver) a wealth of reading materials directly to the youngsters who have limited access to books. “A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Rim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who (23) (inspire) to start Charm, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand (24) we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”For many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, and in some cities public transport is being regarded as means of getting books to communities that need (25)most. The vehicle was rebuilt not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to improve people’s life.Comic books were left on trains, buses and underground systems in the cities around the UK (26)(early) this month to mark 80 years of Marvel Comics.Carriages on the two subway trains in Beijing were turned into audio book libraries, wherepassengers were able to download books. To give the train a library feel, the walls aredecorated with books, (27) covers look like bookshelves.★People in the Netherlands get to travel on trains for free during the country’s annual book week celebrations. Passengers can present a novel (28) a rail ticket.★In the Greek city of Thessaloniki, the transport ministry installed mini libraries at bus stops(29) (allow) passengers to read as they wait for the bus, or borrow and read ontheir journey to be returned at a later date.★Passengers on New York’s subway (30) download free short stories, poems, essays and so on to their devices.Eight【青浦一模】Eating jellyfish could save endangered fishAccording to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn’t great news, (21) the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood — and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22) (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)they’re eating.The research team stresses the fact (24) this is only a brief view of the real problem. “A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish’. Here we didn’t look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25) the actual species was listed —so we’ve made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species.”There are some ways to untie the mess we’re creating in the world’s oceans, including (26) (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested (27) as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28) the menu. “We need to improve the labelling of seafood (29) the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice,” UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told Science Alert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30) (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there’s the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood. There’s also Seafood Watch in the US, which is run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.Nine【长宁一模】For perhaps the first time in the history of modern education, millions of primary and secondary students may begin the new school year from home. Pupils in England should return to schools in September, but Covid-19 cases 21 (rise), so this may not be possible. Scientists also warn that there will be many more cases when pupils return to schools. Some parents may choose not to send their children back 22 their family’s safety.Teachers are worried about children who 23 (fall) behind in their school work. Parents and carers are feeling anxious about the need to balance work and home schooling. But an experiment by an 18th-century French schoolmaster, Jackboot, may help them to worry less about home schooling.Jackboot had to teach in Belgium. His pupils spoke only Flemish, and he spoke only French. He gave his students a novel 24 (write) in his mother tongue and a French dictionary. He encouraged them to teach themselves. It worked.Learning does not only happen when someone older puts information into the learner’s mind. Think about how often children and even adults learn from trial and error, from learning to ride a bike to 25 (use) a new technology. Learning happens when you ask children difficult questions at the dinner table, encourage them to build a tree-house or find things for themselves on Wikipedia.In the 18th century, when only the sons of rich men got a school education, Jackboot wanted to show 26 poor children could learn. Parents could teach them by encouraging and asking questions. It’s the same today. 27 students have the right resources 28 (explore) ideas for themselves, many people can “teach”– including carers and parents during a pandemic (流行病). However, some poorer students will do worse 29 they do not have access to the Internet.Jackboot showed that learning does not only happen in a classroom and that human beings are learning beings: they know hardly anything at birth 30 seek out and develop incredible capacities. That should make us less worried about children during this difficult time and more hopeful about ourselves.Ten【金山一模】Melbourne: So lovely. So... livable.Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) releases a list of 140 cities and ranks them in terms of their “livability”. Melbourne (21) (top) the list for the fifth year running.The rankings rate “relative comfort” for more than 30 factors across five categories: stabi lity, health care, education, infrastructure ( 基础设施), and culture and environment. The final scores (22) (calculate) as a percentage ranging from 1 (“intolerable”) to a perfect score of 100 (“ideal”).Take a look at the top 10 cities, and you will find that half of (23) are in Australia and New Zealand, three in Canada, and two in Europe. They’re all medium-size cities in prosperous countries, (24) relatively low population densities. It's an equation (平衡,制衡局面) that leads to low crime rates and a functional infrastructure.Does that mean non-Melbournians should all pack up and move to the world’s (25)(livable) metropolis? Not necessarily.(26) the top 10 cities in the EIU’s rankings may be pleasant to live in, they’re not high on most people’s lists of top cities to visit. After all, they are not cities (27) (describe) as dynamic ( 充满活力的). Before Melbourne assumed the No. 1 ranking, it was Vancouver (28) came out on top for almost a decade its incredible stability.“I find Melbourne a really boring town, so more livable means really dull,” said a policeman in Australia. “I live in Sydney because it’s interesting, not because it’s comfortable.”Raised is the question whether you want to live in a livable city or a dynamic one. Big cities like Tokyo, London and New York suffer in the rankings because of higher crime rates and overburdened infrastructure, (29) drags down the rating of how “comfortable” they are. Yet they’re hard (30) (beat) —when it comes to recreational offerings, including nightlife, culture and entertainment.Eleven【奉贤一模】Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, (21)almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They kind of (22) (worry) about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also upset about “sharenting”– when parents post pictures of them on social media without (23) (permit) – and show the concern (24) their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds, shows that (25) most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an (26) (estimate) 75% of 10- to 12-year- olds will have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted t o “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling (27) (confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “(28)(compare) yourself with them, you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.”Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect (29) from the risks that social media will present.”“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children (30) (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibilities.” Longfield said.Twelve【嘉定一模】Tasting a Biker’s LifeFor most of my life I knew nothing about motorcycles. I believed that motorcycle riders were tough and leather-wearing loners. They seemed (21) (look) for trouble all the time, using the roar of a motorcycle engine to frighten others off.Then, on a warm May evening outside my house, my cousin cameand showed me his new motorcycle. Never had a real motorcycle (22)(present) in front of me by a close family member. “It’sbeautiful, isn’t it?” he asked. But I didn’t really understand what I waslooking at.It wasn’t until August (23) I was able to actually ride on the motorcycle with him. I prepared (24) oversized leather jacket for myself. (25) (fill) with nervous energy, I held on tightly to my cousin. Soon the bike carried us onto the top of the h ill, (26)we stopped to watch the sun set over the city below. I realized that was the most relaxing moment for me in months.Since then, my prejudices about motorcycle bikers (27) (start) to shift. On the back of a motorcycle, (28) (place) all your trust in someone to get you safely home is a way to remind you of the love they have for you. Later, whenever my cousin was gone on a Saturday ride, I would try on his leathers and look in the mirror, wondering if I was (29) a biker myself.Maybe the most important lesson, though, is that you really can’t judge a man by his appearance, (30)much leather he wears. Motorcycle bikers are not scary, or mean, or unapproachable. They’re adults who remember the freedom of riding their first bicycle, and are continuously seeking to recreate the experience.Thirteen【浦东一模】Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans (21) ___________ (wonder) how many could harbor life.Now, we’re one step closer to (22) ___________ (find) an answer.

This is an essential part of astrobiology, the study of life’s origins and futurein our universe.The study is authored by NASA scientists (26) __________ worked on the Keplermission alongside collaborators from around the world. NASA retired the space telescope in 2018after it ran out of fuel. Nine years of the telescope’s observations revealed that there are billions of planets in our galaxy--more planets than stars.(27)__________ this result is far from a final value, it’s extremely exciting that we calculated that these worlds are this common with such high confidence.That’s a wide range of different stars, each with (28) __________ own particular properties impacting whether the rocky planets in its orbit are capable of supporting liquid water. These complexities are partly why it is so difficult to calculate how many potentially habitable planets are out there, especially when even our (29) ____________ (powerful) telescopes can just barely detect these small planets. That’s (30) __________ the research team took a new approach.Fourteen【松江一模】Music Festival in MontrealEvery Sunday afternoon in the Plateau section (高原地区) of Montreal, thousands of people of all ages, nationalities, and economic backgrounds gather at the Jacques Cartier Monument in Mont Royal Park to play instruments, sing and dance.

But for many people, gift-giving is the most exciting part of the holiday.I have fond memories of Christmas shopping with my family as a child. I enjoyed the challenge of keeping my parents’ gifts a secret. It was hard to buy gifts right (22) _ their noses without them seeing.

But there are also arguments (23) _________ such a strong conclusion.Firstly, experts point out that the isolated love affair between children and parents (24) _________ (find) in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.
