Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.(B)These days, young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post: “David Bowie’s death is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh.” Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally.” Similarly, “tradge”means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional.” It seems that, for millen nials (千禧一代), trying in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.As you can see, much millennial slang is formed by so-called “totesing”---the systematic abbreviation of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes,” but it has now spread to many other English words.The origins of other millennial slang are more complex than “totesing.” “BAE” for example, has been widely used by African-Americans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with one’s romantic partner or,like “sweetheart,” for someone without a romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.Some people might think millennial slang lowers the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguis t Rosey Billington doesn’t agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Johns, share the same view. They analyzed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.It isn’t simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker’s mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.56.Why do young people like using e-slang?A.Because e-slang is time-consuming.B.Because e-slang is in fashion.C.Because e-slang is complex.D.Because e-slang is in order.57.What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning “BAE” in Paragraph 5?A.To support that totesing is no baby talk.B.To analyze the usage of millennial slang.C.To inform people of how it became mainstream.D.To explain the complex origins of millennial slang.58.Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?A.Totesing is a loosely organized system.lennial slang lower the value of English.C.It’s simply a clever way to reduce the word count.D.Totes-speak requires a good command of English.59.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.E-slang Catcges on Among YouthB.Linguists Disapprove of Totesinglennial Slang Takes the LeadD.English has Greatly ChangedSection CDirections: Fill in each blank in the article with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The Musee d’Orsay (奥赛博物馆)in Paris. The Museum of Modern Art in New York. And the German Historical Museum in Berlin.____60____Children from more than 180,000 Chinese households can now go on a virtual tour of ten world-famous museums. The two-hour daily broadcasts combine interesting animations, clips from presenters’ recent trips to the museums and live comm entary (现场报道) from Chinese experts in a Shanghai studio. The families each paid Aha School, an education start-up (初创企业) that produced the shows, 15 yuan to watch. ____61____.“The children here don’t have access to any museums, let alone famous ones,” sai d Ma Xiaoyan, a teacher in Sichuan. “For many of them, even going to the closest town i difficult because their families don’t have money for travel.”Education experts say the project highlights how live-streaming (在线直播), a technology that is already very popular on social media platform, could help improve long-distance education. In China, the government has invested heavily in rural education over the past decade. The physical results are clear in many areas. For example, many schools have received new libraries, internet connections and electronic whiteboards.But many rural teachers have moved to urban areas. ____62____. To further solve inequalities in the education system, educators in Chinese cities have been experimenting with programs inn which lessons are beamed in to rural classrooms. The Communist Youth League, for example, has set up a free account on WeChat that live streams lessons in Chinese, English and Mathematics to students.A few urban schools in China have also begun sharing their lessons with rural schools through live-streaming. But such projects often fall flat in rural classrooms, in part because students there have such vastly different backgrounds and learning styles. Pan Lisheng, the director of the virtual museums project for Aha School, said the problem was perhaps not that electronic lesson feeds (传输) were bad in principle. Instead, it’s that few educators had figured out how to make the lessons interesting.For the museum project, she employed a team of nearly 50 people. They design graphics, travel to the ten museums, comment on artworks and science exhibitions, and make all the material into a two-hour daily broadcast. ____63____.“Every child is a unique flower,” said Pan.第二卷2018学年高二第二学期英语期中考试附加卷I.

Any team that scores below a certain point threshold(起始点) will be considered a failure, causing the coaches to be demoted (降职) and have their salaries ___13__ in half. Moreover, Liu himself promised to give up his entire salary as chairman should any team fail.This comes not long after Liu’s 15-month absence from the Chinese table tennis scene , which has recently experienced some undesirable outcomes. The traditionally Chinese ___14___ sport has seen increasingly better results for non—Chinese athletes at international competitions .And the threat of losing gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to another nation has certainly brought about a ____15___ of desperation. Liu’s announcement is proof of that .His approach might be considere d similar to the Chinese tale of Xiang Yu ordering his soldiers to sink their boats and break their cooking pots before fighting the Qin ,resulting in the Chinese idiom “ po fu chen zhou(破釜沉舟) But is it necessary?To be honest, I think it all depends on the individual. I’m sure most of you have heard of the “ carrot vs stick” method, in which an individual is given either a reward or a punishment based on how well they have completed a task. Some people ____16___ better to rewards, while others react better to punishments. In Liu’s case, he has ____17___ issued himself an ultimatum (最后通牒) . It’s all or nothing .This is what the players and coaches on the Chinese national table tennis team have to face. However, certain ___18___may call for extreme measures, Now if there is one thing which needs this sort of ____19___ ,that is --- you’ve probably guessed it --- climate change.I won’t get into the details, because we all know them .We have been aware of the problems and the solutions for at least the past ten years, with the more recent studies suggesting a goal not to allow the global average temperature to climb more than 1.5’C above pre-industrial levels. That is a true ultimatum .Like Xiang Yu’s soldiers, we have crossed the river and sunk all our boats, only some pots ___20___ but each one is like an enormous lead weight (铅锤) holding us back. They need to go, or else we will be facing consequences far greater than losing a salary.答案:21. AC 22. A 23. D 24. AD 25. B 26. AB答案:27. ABC 28. C 29. A 30. D 31. AC 32. B33.

The one most widely accepted today is based on the 31 that drama evolved from ritual( 宗教仪式). The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings 32 the natural forces of the world—even the seasonal changes—as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to 33 these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to34 the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into 35 rituals.36 stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were 37 , but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and providedmaterial for art and drama.Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the 38 of theatre because music, dance, masks, and 39 were almost always used. 40 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and 41 the entire community did not participate, a(n) 42 div ision was usually made between the “ area of acting “ and the “ area in which an audience sits ”. Besides, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was 43 to avoiding mistakes in the practice of rituals, religious leaders usually 44 that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often imitated (模仿) other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed (用哑剧表演出) the 45 effect—success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun—46 an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from 47 activities.Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in 48 . According to this view, tales about the hunt , war or other things are told and gradually spread. 49 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily gymnastic or that are 50 of animal movements and sounds.31. A . background B. assumption C. evidence D. theory32.

"I just couldn't get going in the morning," she says. "I'd get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring." Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a formof depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it's still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there's never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, it's hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That's why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects.Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.Why does light therapy work? No one really knows."Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body's internal clock," says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.That hasn't stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor's prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can't be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That's an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.51. What is the probable cause of Krentz's problem?A. An unexpected gain in body weight.B. Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.C. Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.D. Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.52.What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?A. Its effect remains to be seen.B. It serves as a kind of placebo.C. It proves to be an effective therapy.D. It hardly produces any effects.53. What is psychologist Michael Terman's major concern?A. Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.B. No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.C. Inferior light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights.D. Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients.54. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience.B. Light therapy increases the patient's photosensitivity.C. Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy.D. Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.第六节:任务型阅读:What is waste and why does it matter?Waste or rubbish is something that people throw away because they no longer need it or want it. Almost everything we do creates waste and as a society we are currently producing more waste than ever before. We do this at home and at work. The fact that we produce waste, and get rid of it, matters for the following reasons.When something is thrown away we lose the natural resources, the energy and the time which have been used to make the product. The vast majority of resources that we use in manufacturing products and providing services cannot be replaced. The use of these resources cannot go on indefinitely - we would run out.When something is thrown away we are putting pressure on the environment's ability to cope--in terms of the additional environmental impacts associated with extracting(选取) the new resources, manufacturing and distributing the goods, and in terms of the environmental impacts associated with getting rid of our rubbish.When something is thrown away we are not able to see it as a resource. It is well understood that what is waste to one person may not be viewed as waste by another. A good example of this is scrap metal which has been recycled for many years. Increasingly people are realizing that it makes economic sense as well as environmental sense to use "waste" rather than just throw it away.The process of using up the earth's natural resources to make products which we then throw away, sometimes a very short time later, is not "sustainable" -- in other words, it cannot continue indefinitely.The way we consume materials will affect whether we have a sustainable society that leaves resources available for future gene rations to use. As consumers and producers, we are central to the concept of sustainability. We need to think about how we can get more out of less, how we can use less and throw away less and how we can do better things with our so-called "waste" thanTitle The problem with waste参考答案M9(1-2)短语翻译:1. seek one’s fortune 2. build settlements 3. the best-known natural phenomenon 4. there is nothing ambiguous about… 5. the strengths and weaknesses of 6.be content to do sth. 7. owe…to…8. distinguish A from B/between A and B 9. considering your age 10. make advances/progress in 11. second only to12.no different 13. turn sth. over to…14. on behalf of20. stress the importance to sb. 21. be abundant in 22. be accused of23. a high percentage of 24.in particular 25. seize control of句型转换 1.
