Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Some American parents might think their children need better educations to compete with China and other countries. But how much do the parents themselves need to change?A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and the mother of two daughters. She was raised in the American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents.In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms. Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do.Many people have criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Ms. Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted “I hate my life! I hate you!”But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children’s abilities. “One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility.”Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says, “The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what does it mean to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child.”Ms. DeBroff says Amy Chua’s parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacey DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.65.Which of the following might be on the list of what Amy Chua’s daughters are not permitted to do?A. Taking an extra course.B. Getting A’s in exams.C. Getting up on schedule.D. Having a play date.66.Stacy DeBroff believes parents should _____.A. raise their children as they were raisedB. find their own ways to raise their childrenC. be as strict as possible with their childrenD. follow successful people’s parenting style67.The word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A. weaknessB. consciousnessC. independenceD. perseverance68.According to the passage, Amy Chua’s parenting style is _____.A. uniqueB. questionedC. reasonableD. creative(B)69.This notice is intended for _____.A. drivers who like to drinkB. those medically experienced peopleC. unskilled driversD. anyone ignorant of first aid70.When there’s a road accident, the driver should _____.A. learn first aid immediatelyB. move the injured out of the carC. seek medical aidD. give the injured a drink71.Which of the following should be avoided in a road accident?A. Warning others of the accident and against smoking.B. Leaving the wound bleeding to avoid further dangers.C. Keeping the injured person company and comforting him.D. Giving the injured person mouth-to-mouth breathing if necessary.(C)72.Why are Iraq’s marshes supposed to be the site of the Biblical Garden of Eden?A. Numerous species originated there.B. Most Biblical Marsh Arabs lived there.C. They were encircled by desert in Biblical times.D. They were considered places where first human beings inhabited.73.The disappearance of most Iraq’s marshes has been caused by _____.A. the decrease of wildlifeB. the increase of populationC. the extension of desertD. the disasters in nature74.It can be referred from the passage that Iraq’s future development cannot be separated from _____.A. recovering the marshlandsB. digging more canalsC. preventing the warsD. planting more trees75.What does the passage mainly deal with?A. The flooding of Iraq’s marshlands.B. The destruction of Iraq’s biodiversity.C. The damage of Iraq’s ecosystem.D. The consequence of Gulf War.Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Very few people can claim they have achieved all they are capable of. For many people there is a feeling that they could have done much more with their lives and careers. They know their talents are mostly undeveloped. So what is it that is preventing you from fulfilling your potential?76.and they are determined to make their mark. This does not mean they are arrogant. On the contrary, they are self critical and push themselves hard because they know they can achieve more. What is it that is special about you? What is the talent you have not developed? What do you know you are capable of?77.targets in the areas that are important to you. There are many books giving detailed advice on target setting and they reinforce the point that the most important thing is to write your targets down and track progress. If you do not achieve some of the goals, then reset them. You can be flexible and adjust how you move forward but you must keep moving. Do you have written objectives you track regularly?78.you are good at? High achievers go further. They take risks. They move out of their comfort zones. They take on difficult challenges. They push themselves to acquire new skills and to face new examinations of their abilities. This means that they run the risk of failure. Where are you right now —inside your comfort zone or taking risks?79.a lot of time every day on low value activities. Thinking and planning are great but it is action that leads to success. It is only by doing things and doing the right things that you change the world. If you have clear goals but are not making progress towards them, then look at your activity level. How high is your work rate? And how much time do you waste on activities that do not advance you towards your objectives?80.people but they are not challenging you to achieve more. Spend more time with high flyers and positive thinkers who understand ambition and achievement. Share some of your thoughts, dreams and challenges with them. They will encourage you and give you the direct advice you need. How much time are you spending with really successful people?Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81.What does the flight distance of an animal depend on?82.According to the passage, an animal usually does not attack the man unless __________.83.The example of the children holding hands when crossing the street in the last paragraph is used toshow __________.84.What is the topic of the passage?第II卷（共45分）I.

2013届上海市高三二模英语试题汇编——简答
2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语二模——简答题（黄浦）Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs(破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition (军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum (最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn‟t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81. On February 15, 1898，more than 260 Americans lost their lives because of __________ .82. According to the passage, the “magazine” was used to _________.83. According to the two-explosion version, what‟s the probable purpose of the Cuban rebels tocause the explosion?84. What‟s the main topic of the passage?81. the explosion and sinking of the USS Maine82. store arms, ammunition, and explosives83. To cause trouble and end the Spanish rule/occupation.84. The Mystery of the USS Maine. / The (possible) causes of the USS Maine‟s Explosion（闵行）For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season‟s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin‟s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won‟t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don‟t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers‟ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashion designers have to consider when working as employees.81. Business skills and creativity.82. Because consumers‟ needs keep changing / the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.83. commercial realities / the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing84. the employers‟ characteristic style and the mainstream of market.（浦东）The internal greenhouse effect of a daffodil(水仙花)Early pollinators (授粉昆虫) struggle with cold weather, so it's no wonder that late-winter flowers such as daffodil tend to have extended blooming times and long-lasting flowers, some of which remain open for more than two weeks. When the sun is out, they can offer a warm microenvironment for bees.Although they usually start showing off in the Washington area by late February, blooming times for daffodil are highly variable, depending on variety, weather and planting location. Moisture, tree cover and mineral availability all affect flowering time, but soil temperature tends to have the greatest influence on early-blooming flowers. The microclimate of a south-facing slope will display blooms well before flowers appear in the shadow of a building that gets only a half-day of sun.Once open, the flower can create a microclimate within itself. When sunlight hits a daffodilflower, its tube-shaped corolla acts as a tiny greenhouse, raising temperatures inside a flower as much as 15 degrees higher than the surrounding air.That's good news for small bees, which in late winter have trouble getting warm enough to fly.Bumblebees and honeybees prepare to fly on cold days by exercising their flight muscles to generate heat. But mining bees, which nest in the ground, are less able to do that and are more dependent on surrounding temperatures to warm them up for takeoff.Spanish ecologist Carlos M. Herrera studied the relationship between mining bees and nativedaffodil flowers. The bees he studied could fly only if their internal body temperatures approached 72 degrees, yet they were able to forage(觅食) in 54-degree weather. Basking(取暖) in sunlight on the outside of a warm daffodil bloom was enough to get a bee airborne. Heat from flight muscles could then help keep bees in the air, but they still relied on blossom-basking to supplement their heat needs. Although a bee inside a flower has access to warmth and food, a bee basking atop a flower can more effectively raise its temperature by absorbing heat both from direct sunlight and from the flower below.On those cooler days, bees spent most of their foraging time basking, but "flights between flowers were sometimes interrupted by sudden falls to the ground," Herrera wrote in his 1995 paper. "Fallen bees crawled into some nearby flower and basked before resuming normal foraging."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. According to the passage, what can help early pollinators to survive cold weather?82. Flowers on a south-facing slope usually open earlier because of ________________.83. What does the “good news for small bees” in paragraph 4 refer to?84. A bee can raise its temperature better at the top of a flower because both ________________ are its sources of warmth.Section D 81. Late-winter flowers‟ extended blooming times./ Late-winter fl owers‟ remaining open for long.82. (high) soil temperature83. The flower can create a microclimate within itself once open./The temperatures inside flowers can be much higher than the surrounding air.84.

Through extensive research, they found that these people are excellent in their fields through personal drive, determined behaviors and the self-awareness to know who they are and what they want. While interviewing some of today's most successful people, Bed and and Schoen learned that success comes to individuals if those have mastered their own identities.After examining dozens of successful business leaders, political figures, sports legends and artists, the authors identified two distinct “archetypes” (典型）that are each made up of a set of consistent characteristics that place their skills, strengths, weaknesses and personalities apart from the others.The first archetype is the Natural-Born Leader. These people find great satisfaction in taking charge of complex challenges. Their confidence and abilities define them as individuals who know they will succeed as they face any difficulty. Berland and Schoen explain that these people exhibit self-confidence, big-picture thinking, a take-charge personality, an inspirational and motivational spirit and a helpful approach as they boost up those around them. If you are a Natural-Born Leader, you always have to be the best in school, at playing sports and in doing business. You have to do things first and fastest, and you enjoy moving up the corporate ladder.The second archetype is the Independence Seeker. Berland and Schoen have found these people have two obvious features, They share the common mental characteristics. For instance, people in this group are always trying to come up with a better way to do things, have the self-confidence to do whatever they need to do to reach their goals, are willing to take risks when they see an opportunity, have a "restless spirit" that appears in the form of new goals, and "don't take themselves too seriously." However, when it comes to working, they just want what they want, and they also hope that their achievements will be recognized.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.The purpose of Berland and Schoen‟s research is to __________.82.What is the leading factor that helps individuals to be successful according to Berland andSchoen?83.How will a Natural-Born Leader feel when he is told to finish some challenging tasks?84.Berland and Schoen have studied Independent Seekers in the two aspects: __________.81. search for the inner qualities of successful persons82. Mastering his/her own identities.83. Satisfied.84. Inner qualities and work attitude.（徐汇金山松江）It is estimated that around of the approximately six thousand languages that are spoken today, over three thousand of them are likely to have disappeared by the year 2100. Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the main language of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81. What factors are taken into consideration when we classify languages as endangered ones,besides the number and the age of the speakers?82. One of the reasons why some languages go declining in Indonesia is___________________83. The word “ revive” in Para 2, most probably means …_______________________‟.84. What does the example of the Welsh language try to tell us?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The percentage of young people among speakers.82. to make communication easier/to teach a national language nation-wide81. bring sth. back to life / bring sth. back into use / save82. An endangered language can be saved by conservation efforts.（杨浦）America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is celebrating the one year anniversary of its Weather-Ready Nation project. Weather experts from across the United States have been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientific progress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost of severe weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines. It is called Project NOAH 一the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (危害).Mahar Lagmay is the head of Project NOAH. He says his country needs high-resolution imaging to predict when and where natural disasters will strike"To be able to construct hazard maps you need very high resolution topography. To do the simulations of floods you do need high resolution topography."He also ways these images will be used to create smaller area maps, which will shape how people react to natural disasters."By doing local scale, or community scale maps, people can relate with the problem because they see their houses, they see their neighbor's houses, the bridge in their community, and the river in their community in relation to the hazards 一the flood hazards in particular"Geologist Carlos Primo David also works with Project NOAH. He says the group depends onsatellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges (计里器）across the country. He says the resulting forecasts are very detailed, and can even predict the intensity of rainfall.The Philippine state weather agency used rainfall information from Project NOAH when Manila flooded in August. The weather agency also re-broadcast its warnings on the social networking website Twitter. And a color coded warning system was also put in place Mahar Lagmay says the project passed its first test. He says the government used the information to move people to safety."Relatively it was successful because what we wanted to avoid was mass death." He says now the government has to get people to take severe weather events more seriously, and to actively prepare for the worst.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. The aim of the Weather-Ready Nation project is to improve the nation's reaction to extremeweather and reduce ______________.82. What's the equipment used in predicting intensity of rainfall?83.

The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest anti social behavior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first …real-life‟ study that has asked a bout TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‟re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

Weather experts from across the United Stateshave been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientificprogress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost ofsevere weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines. It is called Project NOAH 一the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (危害).Mahar Lagmay is the head of Project NOAH. He says his country needs high-resolution imaging to predict when and where natural disasters will strike"To be able to construct hazard maps you need very high resolution topography. To do the simulations of floods you do need high resolution topography."He also ways these images will be used to create smaller area maps, which will shape how people react to natural disasters."By doing local scale, or community scale maps, people can relate with the problem because they see their houses, they see their neighbor's houses, the bridge in their community, and the river in their community in relation to the hazards 一the flood hazards in particular"Geologist Carlos Primo David also works with Project NOAH. He says the group depends on satellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges (计里器）across the country. He says the resulting forecasts are very detailed, and can even predict the intensity of rainfall.The Philippine state weather agency used rainfall information from Project NOAH when Manila flooded in August. The weather agency also re-broadcast its warnings on the social networking website Twitter. And a color coded warning system was also put in place Mahar Lagmay says the project passed its first test. He says the government used the information to move people to safety."Relatively it was successful because what we wanted to avoid was mass death." He says now the government has to get people to take severe weather events more seriously, and to actively prepare for the worst.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. The aim of the Weather-Ready Nation project is to improve the nation's reaction to extremeweather and reduce ______________.82. What's the equipment used in predicting intensity of rainfall?83.

The weather experts expect people to _______________.81. the cost of severe weather on life and property82. satellites, Doppler radar and hundreds of rain gauges83. its information helped the government move people to safety / ...84. take severe weather more seriously and actively prepare for the worse（闸北）"In Scotland illness treatment is considered urgent; in Canada, it's considered inevitable. However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?81. the young are big consumers of healthcare too82. “More is better”83.

Care organizations and the program called Choosing Wisely.（长宁嘉定）Working mothers who try to do everything by themselves are more likely to become depressed than those accepting that they are not super humans, a recent study of hundreds of women suggests.Women are told a story that they can do it all, but most workplaces are still designed for employees without child-care responsibilities, and they can happily combine child raising and a career if they are willing to let some things slide. Katrina Leupp, a researcher, suggests that rather than trying to do everything themselves, working women should get family members or others to help with the housework and not feel guilty about leaving work early when family duty calls. High earners can follow the lead of actress Anna Friel, who let out her secret to dealing with work and being a mother at the same time ---employing two maids.A researcher from the University of Washington said: “Employment is beneficial for women‟s health, even when differences in marital (婚姻的) satisfaction and working full-or part-time are ruled out.” But the analysis also found that not all working mothers are equally happy. The women with “supermom” attitudes as young adults showed more signs of depression, the American Sociological Society‟s annual conference stated. Women who try to do it all without any help are more likely to feel they are failures when things do not go to plan. Very often they may be drowned in tiredness. Lack of any “me time” could also be an issue. However, she stressed that working women--- including super mums --- generally still a lower risk of depression than stay-at-home mothers, adding:” But for better mental health, working mums should accept that they can‟t do it all.”Pam Spurr, a life coach and mother-of-two, said working women don‟t have to feel ashamed to take a career break when they have kids to take care of or cut back on time in the office. She said:”We need to accept that we are only human and can‟t do it all.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN THE WORDS.)81. According to a recent study, in order not to be depressed, working mothers _______________.82. How should working women deal with career and family according to Katrina Leupp?83. What are the signs of super mums‟ depression?84. In Pam Spurr‟s opinion, workin g women need to realize there is no shame in _____________.81. should accept that they are not super humans82.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Matterhorn of Switzerland had been climbed hundreds of times since it was first conquered by Edward Whymper in 1865. He, and the many that followed him over the years, had scaled the mountain by the relatively easy southern approach. The vertical (垂直的) northern face presented a much more frightening challenge. Although some climbers had scaled the north wall, their attempts were made in summer. Experts had predicted that it was unimaginable to make the climb in the winter.Water Bonatti announced that he was going to attempt a winter climb of the near-vertical ice-covered northern face in the February. What was shocking was that he intended to use the more direct route from base to peak without any of the passes made by his pioneers. It seemed a suicidal bid.Covered in a yellow wind-breaker, Bonatti gathered his skills, nerves, strength and vigor against the north face. Slowly and carefully, his strong but cold-stoned fingers searched for hand-holds. One false move and he would plunge straight down thousands of feet to his death. The higher he went, the more the wind increased its force, striking him with icy power, threatening to dash him onto the rocks below. After two tough days, he reached 12,800 feet. At night, he napped in a hammock (吊床) between two steel sticks hammered in the rock face.At first light, he continued ever upward, without a thought of turning back. The cruel, sub-zero temperature cracked his goggles (护目镜) and he struggled half-blinded. Often his hands which were bleeding, failed to settle on an opening and he had to make attempts with his instinct. His tiring body was in pain but still climbed up towards the peak.At dawn on the fourth day, he was on the edge of complete exhaustion, but with victory in sight, he prepared himself for the critical trek. Just after three in the afternoon, excited spectators in the helicopters saw Bonatti suddenly appear crawling over the shining tip of the mountain. He had achieved the impossible and won the world acclaim.65.Why was Bonatti’s attempt regarded as an impossible task?A. Because no one had climbed the mountain since the last conquest by Whymper.B. Because the mountain presents the biggest challenge in the world.C. Because no one had reached the peak from the north in cold weather.D. Because the Swiss government forbade people to climb the mountain in severe weather.66.How did he manage to climb up?A. He used the wind-breaker to locate holes on the north face and climbed up.B. He made his hands fish for openings and relied on them to climb.C. He took advantage of steel hammer to climb up the mountain.D. He borrowed the force from the ice to help him rise.67.The underlined word trek in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to _____.A. adequate restB. timely communicationC. difficult journeyD. bad weather condition上海2013届高考英语二模卷试题集（10）闸北区68.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bonatti used to scale the mountain by the south approach.B. The negative influence from the wind decreased as he climbed up.C. Bonatti’s success was witnessed by people in the air.D. Bonatti managed to climb the mountain in two days.(B)69.The cuttlefish are different from other deceiving animals in that _____.A. it means no harm while others intend to hunt by deceivingB. it changes its features in appearance to match the environmentC. it manages to mix with the environment faster than other animalsD. it uses certain matter to copy the environment if necessary上海2013届高考英语二模卷试题集（10）闸北区70.In deceiving, the frogfish and the stoat are using the similar trick that _____.A. they sometimes disappear and sometimes appear to deceiveB. they both hunt in similar living environmentsC. they make certain body movements before huntingD. they hunt the same creature for food71.One unique deceiving purpose different from those of other creatures is to _____.A. become the master of disguiseB. meet the need of the stomachC. seek food for survivalD. find a possible mating partner(C)72.The social structure is stable because _____.A. there are no barriers strictly separating the classesB. economic ability simply decides a person’s social classC. the lower classes quickly learn the standards of the upper classesD. the higher classes enjoy the force to select people to enter their classes73.The underlined phrase with his tongue in the cheek is closet in meaning to _____.A. forcefullyB. pretendedlyC. sincerelyD. silently74.The principle to behave like a gentleman has _____.A. been followed by the upper and lower classesB. been destroyed by the ill forces in societyC. enabled middle class people to climb to higher classesD. helped the middle class to keep moral上海2013届高考英语二模卷试题集（10）闸北区75.Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A.

New middle class men and their children “do good” for different purposes.D. The middle class have made complete success in defeating ill forces in societySection CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.Reasons for SWS quick reaction and economic advantageB.Concerns about the SWS alerting systemC.Opposite stands of the two earthquake warning systemsD.Working principle of CISN and the possible obstacleE.Official attitudes towards the two alerting systemsF.The effect of CISN and its troubling system76.Two different approaches to alerting the public about the earthquakes are competing for the states’ support, with one, CISN, based on a network of government-operated sensors, and the other, SWS, built around a private company’s equipment. In a move that may shed some light for policy makers, the authority has pulled together representatives from both approaches to make recommendations on how to implement an earthquake early warning system. Then again, their distinct views may prove impossible to come to terms.77.The idea behind an earthquake early warning system is to take advantage of the time lag between a quake’s initial, relatively mild shockwaves and the later ones that cause all the damage. CISN can detect the first waves a few seconds or more before the severe shaking begins. The challenge, though, is to determine from the first waves whether it’s really an earthquake and not a big truck rolling by, and how intense the shaking may be.78.The March 11 quake in Riverside County gave the CISN team the chance to demonstrate the capabilities of its system, which is still in its formative stages. It alerted local government 30 seconds before a stronger wave of the quake, which measured a moderate 4.7 magnitude. By the time the warning went out, however, those waves had already been developing for 12 seconds, extending about 25 miles. That’s not necessarily a problem for earthquakes that start in a remote stretch of the high desert. But a delay that long for a quake in busy areas would leave millions of people in the warning-free “blind zone.”79.SWS has a collection of sensors in the Coachella Valley, not far from where the March 11 quake struck. The company claimed its alerts went out before the more damaging waves had even hit the surface. Its first stations received an alert three to five seconds ahead of the shaking. The company’s speed advantage comes from its ability to use two sensors at a single site to calculate a quack’s intensity and to make a warning, rather than having to pool data from sensors at multiple sites. It also says that it can participate in a statewide warning system that would cost far less than what the CISN’s backers have advised.上海2013届高考英语二模卷试题集（10）闸北区80.So what’s more to think about SWS proposal? It is said that the government is trying to get some independent proof of the company’s claims about its technology. And there are also some worries from the public about granting the essential function of public alert to a private company. People can only imagine the security matters involved.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that __________.82.Patients’ __________ attitude towards medical care caused today’s overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for the lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the overtreatment problem?第II卷（共45分）I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.家长越来越关注孩子的心理健康。

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1. W: We don't seem to have a reservation for you, sir. I'm sorry.M: But my secretary said that she had reserved a room for me here. I phoned her from the airport this morning just before boarding:Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?2. M: $15 for the vase is too expensive. I will pay only $ 10 for it.W: Done, sir. It's yours for$10.Q: How much less does the man pay for the vase than the original price？3. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it's possible for me to take a vacation early next month.M: Did you fill out a request form？Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers？4. W: Attention please. Flight MU 146 from Hong Kong has arrived.M: It's now 20:25. It's been delayed for two hours！The airlines' flights are now constantly delayed.Q: At what time should the flight have arrived？5. M: Shall I put the equipment away now that you've finished with the lab work？W: Not yet, please.Q: What will the man probably do？6. M: What about going for a coffee？W: That's fine. But do you mind if I call in the library first？I've had this book out for ages. Q: What is the woman going to do first？7. M: Do you think the poster looks good here？W: Well, it's better than a blank wall.Q: What does the woman say about the poster?8. W: These shoes are very cheap. I think I'll buy three pairs.M: Why not just buy one good pair. Cheap shoes wear out very quickly.Q: What does the man suggest that the woman should do？9. M: Please get me a beer, a cold one. Y ou know, I never drink beer without ice.W: But it is winter now. Don't you think that's bad for your stomach？Q: What does the woman mean？10. W: Good morning. Say, do you know what the assignment is for our term paper in history？M: Sure. Why weren't you in class on Monday? That's when the teacher gave it out.Q: What does the man imply？Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.There are many simple ways to keep our earth healthy. Here are some ways to reduce the amount of garbage your family produces:Firstly, many communities have recycling programs. If yours doesn't, do some research. Y ou can probably find a place to take materials to be recycled.Secondly, instead of throwing away items that you no longer use, give them away or sell them. Think of new ways to reuse items that you normally throw away.What's more, take your own bags to the store instead of getting new ones each time you shop.The fourth way is to use e-mail instead of sending paper letters and cards. Pay your bills and read your newspapers online. Call companies that send you junk mail and get off their mailing lists.Lastly, buy products which are made with recycled contents. A lot of things can now be made from recycled materials.Together we can make a difference.Questions:11. According to the passage, how should you deal with the items you don't use？12. What does the passage suggest people should do?13. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries. Along with this program, there is usually another one called the“American Host Family”program. As its name indicates, the program gets American families involved in foreign students' lives in America and offers homes for them.Many American families volunteer to host foreign students. However, if there is a shortage of host families, schools also contact local people and recommend foreign students to them.The “American host family” program varies in lengths of time. It can go from a few days to a few years, depending on each individual school. The program in my school in Wisconsin is designed on a one year term. After the first year is over, it is up to foreign students and their “families” to decide if they want to stay together as a “family.” American families can ho st as many foreign students as they like. They can either have several students or just one at a time. Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones. Schools usually leave it to foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet. My school, however, sponsors activities every year: We have an annual picnic when all the host families and foreign students come together. In addition, we have other kinds of gatherings such as pot-luck dinners and tea parties several times a year. Host families and foreign students, of course, get in touch with each other any time they want. On major holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, foreign students are usually invited to their homes for dinner. Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.Questions:14. How long does the host family program last?15. Which of the following is NOT included in a school's“American Host Family”program？16. What is the main purpose of the passage？Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: I can't take it any more. This job is killing me！M: Hey, sounds like you could take a break.W: Are you kidding？I can never finish my paperwork.M: When was the last time you took some time off?W: Come to think of it, it's been over a year. Y eah, last February. I was supposed to take off a few weeks in January, but it just got too busy around here.M: Then it sounds like a little relaxation would do you some good.W: Well, maybe you are right. And anyway, I can always bring my computer along and catch up on my work.M: Listen, leave the computer at home. Y ou need to just take it easy for a while.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.W: We had a nice chat to your teachers at the parents' meeting this evening.M: Actually, mum, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.W: Were you worried？Well, you needn't have been. Y our teachers are very happy with your work.In fact, we didn't have to stay at the meeting very long. They all had only one thing to say: you're doing brilliantly.M: Thanks mum. Actually, I was a bit worried but not about my grades. I…W: Y ou'd better start thinking about what university you want to go to.M: Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. I don't want to go to university.W: Y ou what? Oh, of course, it's the money. Y ou're worried about the money.M: Mum! Y ou're not listening to me. I've thought about it very carefully and I've decided to leave school at the end of the year and become a football player.W: A football player! A bright boy like you！M: I'm sorry if you're disappointed. But, look, you needn't worry about me. I do have a brilliant future ___ as a football player.参考答案第Ⅰ卷I. Section A 1~5. DBCDB 6~10.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It is common to have difficulties sleeping during the day. Humans are born naturally to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to adapt the 41 schedule of shift work (轮班) — being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this 42 acceptable to you, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep in a(n) 43 condition. This means you may have to unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and ask your family and friends to 44 you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap. When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to 45 energy and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine.It’s best if you go to sl eep and wake up at the same time every day. Try not to 46 this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be 47 to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine (尼古丁) to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But in the end these choices are moreharmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough 48 sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medical treatment may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be a potential sleep disorder that needs to be 49 as soon as possible.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone dreams of being successful. Does anyone think of the mere question as to what elements 50 success, if there is any? Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost 51 to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the 52 of 1,500 distinguished people selected at random from who’s who in America. Our research finds out a number of 53that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.Common sense is the most obvious quality 54 by our participants. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And Sixty-one percent say that common sense was very important in 55 their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical 56 on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside 57 ideas and get right to the key of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is58 . In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry, 59 a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be 60 . He owes his success to learning how to debate in school. Another way to 61 your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that 62 success: in order for you to achieve anything in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe in yourself that you can achieve it, that is, you need to have 63 in your goals and your path to that success. However, nothing moves until you do something. Belief alone is not going to achieve anything for you. It must be followed up with concrete 64 . Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it whole-heartedly.50. A. define B. determine C. estimate D. prove51. A. especially B. properly C. inevitably D. alternatively52. A. opinions B. theories C. capabilities D. requirements53. A. challenges B. attractions C. qualifications D. qualities54. A. possessed B. recommended C. proposed D. achieved55. A. thinking about B. approving of C. making out D. contributing to56. A. performances B. judgments C. characters D. principles57. A. original B. common C. extra D. moderate58. A. advancing B. persevering C. simplifying D. revising59. A. reducing B. comparing C. applying D. referring60. A. protected B. maintained C. observed D. developed61. A. add to B. get over C. keep up D. go through62. A. create B. influence C. judge D. attract63. A. preparation B. attempt C. faith D. support64. A. thought B. progress C. plan D. actionSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Last spring, employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies. A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike. Here is part of the report.●Hartville’s overtime pay is well below the national level, and overtime is obligedat least once a week.●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rateof repetitive (重复的) stress injury. The equipment they are working with is extremely oldand dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards. The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately.●Sick and personal day policies are unclear. Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days, which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action.●In the past four years, five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public. In all five cases, the reasons for firing were not specifically clear, although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees.●Hartville’s upper management is largely unaware of the dissatisfaction of employees. Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management’s underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction.65. Why do Hartville employees have a high rate of repetitive stress injury?A. Because the management policy is out of date.B. Because their pays are extremely low.C. Because Hartville’s equipment is below stan dard.D. Because sick and personal day policies are not clear.66. O ne reason that the Hartville”s upper management is unresponsive is that ________.A. they are more concerned with saving money than protecting employeesB. they are unaware of the degree of dissatisfaction among their employeesC. the company authority restricts its management functionD. they have not been trained in the latest management techniques67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the findings?A. A suggestion to raise employees’ pay and reduce work time.B. A description of employees being unfairly dismissed.C. A comparison between overtime pay at Hartville and the national average.D. A finding about a problem within middle management.(B)Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels(松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.68. The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesC. do something to get rid of squirrelsD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana69.

In many ways, the television ads today are almost the same to those two decades ago. Most television ads still feature actors, still run 30 or 60 seconds, and still show a product. However, the different medium of the Internet causes unique challenges to advertisers, forcing them to adapt their practices and techniques.In the early days of Internet marketing, online advertisers used banner(框式广告) and pop-up ads (弹出式广告) to attract customers. These techniques reached large audiences, led to many sales leads, and came at a low cost. However, a small number of Internet users began to consider these advertising techniques annoying. Yet because marketing strategies relying heavily on banners and pop-ups produced results, companies invested growing amounts of money into purchasing these ad types. As consumers became more complicated, frustration with these online advertising techniques grew. Independent programmers began to develop tools that blocked banner and pop-up ads.A major development in online marketing came with the introduction of pay-per-click ads. Unlike banner or pop-up ads, which originally required companies to pay every time a website visitor saw an ad, pay-per-click ads allowed companies to pay only when an interested potential customer clicked on an ad. More importantly, however, these ads are not affected by the pop-up and banner blockers. As a result of these advantages and the incredible growth in the use of search engines, which provide excellent places for pay-per-click advertising, a great number of companies began turning to pay-per-click marketing. However, as with the banner and pop-up ads, pay-per-click ads came with their shortcomings. When companies began pouring billions of dollars into this emerging medium, online advertising specialists started to notice the presence of what would later be called click fraud (欺诈): representatives of a company with no interest in the pro duct advertised by a competitor click on the competitor’s ads simply to increase the marketing cost of the competitor. Click fraud grew so rapidly that marketers sought to diversify (摆脱) their online positions away from pay-per-click marketing through new mediums.Although pay-per-click advertising remains a common and effective advertising tool, marketers adapted yet again to the changing elements of the Internet by adopting new techniques such as pay-per-performance advertising. As the pace of the Interne t’s evolution increases, it seems all the more likely that advertising successfully on the Internet will require a strategy thatavoids constancy (持续性) and welcomes change.72. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The pace of the Internet’s evolution is increasing and will only increase in the future.B. Internet advertising fails to reach Internet users, causing ads to be blocked.C. The Internet has experienced dramatic changes in short periods of time.D. Rapid development of the Internet calls for new advertising strategies and mediums.73. As an advertising medium, the television and the Internet mainly differ in ________.A. the type of individual each medium reachesB. whether the medium is interactiveC. the pace at which the medium developsD. the cost of advertising with each medium74. According to the passage, which of the following is a typical click fraud?A. Using software to block competitors’ advertisements.B. Clicking on the pay-per-click ads of competitors.C. Clicking on the banner advertisements of opponent companies.D. Using search engine to attack the pages of competitors.75. What does the author imply about the future of pay-per-performance advertising?A. It will eventually become less popular just like other forms of Internet advertising.B. It will not face shortcomings due to its differing approach to online marketing.C. Internet users will develop free software to block its effectiveness.D. Although it improves on pay-per-click advertising, it still suffers from click fraud.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.There are increasing fears of global warming. Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy. This shift will lead to major changes in the supply and use ofelectricity. To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid(智能电网) technology.This system aims toprovide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand to create a more efficient power network.Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand and improve engineer’s ability to manage the system. With better information about electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential reductions in fuel needs and carbon emissions (排放).78. Smart Grid technology is profitable to consumers too. They will be able to collect real-time information on their energy use for each appliance. Varying tariffs (收费标准) throughout the day will give customers the motivation to use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds (超过) demand, leading to great reductions in bills.79. With these changes comes a range of things to be overcome. The first involves managing the supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to alternative energy sources, is inflexible. A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions.80. Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, experimental plans to promote and test it are already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use. Cities are investing money into smart energy, due to the high population density and high energy use. It is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first, making use of a range of sustainable (可持续的) power sources, transport solutions.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin’s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determinati on are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers’ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashion designershave to consider when working as employees.第II 卷(共45分)I.

And you are now collecting suggestions about whether to hold it in your museum or at the community library. I am now writing to express my opinion that the exhibition should be held in the museum. My reasons are as follows.In terms of convenience, the museum has more advantages over the community library. First, it is located in the People’s Square, which is the center of the city. So peo ple can enjoy convenient transportation such as the subway line 1, 2 and 8, which are available from nearly every district. It saves the visitors a lot of time and trouble of traffic jam. Another advantage is that it is easy to be found by those from other provinces around the country. After all, the Shanghai Museum is alandmark of our city familiar to nearly every Chinese. With regard to the professional function, though it seems acceptable that an art exhibition be set in a community library, in a more general sense, I think the museum has more advanced facilities to make the exhibition successful and to preserve the paintings well. As we know, the museum has successfully held many national and international exhibitions and its advertising and organizing experience is of no match; in addition, its staff are qualified and professional.To sum up, I am sure the show will be fantastic if it is held in Shanghai Museum.(248 words)。
