2012届上海市高三二模英语试卷——完形填空（崇明）It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world. It 50 where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national features. A sunny day can lessen the deepest 51 , while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.The human race has always tried to 52 the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are many changes. Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草). When the air has a high level of humidity(湿度), there is a higher chance of rain. When the humidity is low, there is more chance of 53 weather. Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, 54 high humidity has the opposite effect.Today’s methods of prediction increasingly depend on 55 . Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with 56 equipments send data to computers. The data is then 57 , and the weather is predicted. However, 58 this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special 59 for predicting weather. However, it is 60 that these people could use their talent in another way, since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system—the stock market.It 61 that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden 62 of a disease. An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare 63 conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6 years earlier. Efforts to 64 the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.50. A. shows B. affects C. predicts D. introduces51.

C（奉贤）Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be 50 and damaged? Judging from an experiment in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if a baby heard no mother 51 , the experimenter told the nurses to keep silent.All the 52 died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life53 , the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by the experimenter. 54 , some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is 55 to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for 56 skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at right time, but the process is slow and hard once the 57 stage has passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a 58 age, but there are cases where speech has started 59 in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple 60 ; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style 61 grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the 62 to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the comp lex system which enables a child to 63 the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy –bear”. And even more 64 is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.50.A. constructed B. starved C. spoiled D. exhausted51.A. sound B. singing C. educating D. tongue52.A. parents B. care-takers C. infants D. investigators53.A. randomly B. originally C. greatly D. especially54.A.

The 51link between the nations and people of the world is called globalization. It is a 52that has changed ways of life around the world.Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce. In an effort to build a 53economy, most nations of the world have embraced(拥抱) free trade. Free trade removes certain limits imposed (强加) on global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods with one another. A 54aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce 55. Globalization has indeed increased trade throughout the world, but experts disagree about its effect on the poor.The debate about recent trends in global commerce is complex. Those 56free trade in the global market point out that competition lowers prices. Its critics argue that, without controls, such a system often harms poor nations. To some extent, both are 57. For example, in Jamaica, a country which imported milk from the United States and the 58milk was cheaper than local milk, more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition. At the same time, the cheaper milk put 59dairy farmers out of business. Perhaps this program caused as much harm as 60 .Those who support free trade in the global market do so for a number of reasons. Studies show that when a poor nation begins trading on the global level, it gains certain 61. Its economy grows rapidly. Multinational companies set up factories, 62jobs for people. Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations. They believe that the globalizing trend benefits the poor.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions. Although they 63that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations, they doubt that it reduces poverty. In fact, they cite(引述) studies which show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market.64, the gap between rich and poor nations is growing.Regardless of which side they are on, most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor. Both sides need to find a way to make it work.50. A. In conclusion B. In particular C. As a result D. On the contrary51. A. growing B. starting C. moving D. reducing52.

On average50-64: CABDB CDACB DACDA(黄浦、嘉定)When I became an amputee at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and __50__.Too busy __51__ physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to __52__, feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.__53__, as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall – a __54__ survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude __55__ as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to __56__ my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers __57__ held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with __58__ in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed __59__ at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to __60__ them. Leaning h er head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”That incident made me think about how __61__ children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a __62__ learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been __63__ of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a __64__ approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.50. A. comfort B. fear C. hatred D. sadness51.

Functional language proficiency, however, __50__ mastery of a considerably large number of words. It is therefore __51__ at the intermediate and advanced stages of language acquisition to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. There is not enough time to __52__ the natural (largely incidental) L1 (the first language) word acquisition process. Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point, __53__, on account oftheir low frequency, they do not __54__ often enough in the L2 learning material.Acquisition of new words from authentic L2 reading texts by means of strategies such as contextual deduction(演绎) is also not a __55__ for a number of reasons. There appears to be no __56__to intentional learning of a great many new words in a relatively short period of time. The words to be learned may be __57__ in isolation or in context. Presentation in bilingual（双语的）word lists seems an __58__ shortcut because it takes less time than contextual presentation and yields excellent short term results. Long term memory, __59__, is often disappointing so contextual presentation seems advisable.Any suggestions on how to use this in educational contexts should be based on a systematic __60__ of the two most important aspects of the L2 word learning problem, this is to say, selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditions for the acquisition process. This article sets out to __61__a computer assisted word acquisition programme (CAVOCA) which tries to do exactly this: the programme operationalises current theoretical thinking about word acquisition, and its __62__ are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group. To __63__its frequency, the programme was __64__ in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words. The experimental results suggest that an approach combining the two methods is most advisable.50. A. inquires B. requires C. receives D. inspires51. A. difficult B. easy C. possible D. necessary52.

The difference is important 50 industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the 51 .In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating income than those that 52 at key moments to makesure they were on the right 53 . What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to54 ”improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating income over a three-year period.How did they 55 the laws of business, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought 56 about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes 57 to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when it is 58 . They became more 59 to idea and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look and learn. 60 , performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving 61 , stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about62 .Strategic speed 63 a kind of leadership.

D(浦东)We must face the fact that there are many aspects of the information age. All information makes us anxious. Over some of these, we have little or no control. On the other hand, there are steps we can take to eliminate much of 50 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet 51 task.To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain to process information subconsciously.Another way involves 52 processing of information such as during conversation. Wehave a great deal of control over this type of information processing --- both as givers and receivers. If we indulge (任凭) ourselves talking about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 53 can be wasted. Meanwhile this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and distribute information that is truly useful for 54 in this troubled world.Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 55 takes longest. The written word is still the most powerful way of 56 imagination and conveying information, ideas, and concept.How can we 57 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV program, computer games, and other 58 activities? The answer is screening. Screening, sorting out or prioritizing what we need to hear, see, say or read may 59 much information anxiety.To cut through confusing information, 60 this basic rule: Keep it simple!

However, nearly all require some __(50)__ in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the __(51)__out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. __(52)__, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact __(53)__ on one’s career and family time.Of the many __(54)__ to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the __(55)__ to study at his or her own pace to achieve the __(56)__ goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience with due __(57)__ to all life’s other requirements. Besides, the student may __(58)__ in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be __(59)__through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject __(60)__ tool with every subject. This precludes（排除）the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test.

2012届上海高三英语二模试卷 - 完形填空

2012年高考模拟考试试卷崇明县Section 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.It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite t opic for so many people around the world. It50 where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national features.A sunny day can lessen the deepest 51 , while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.The human race has always tried to 52 the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are many changes. Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草). When the air has a high level of humidity(湿度), there is a higher chance of rain. When the humidity is low, there is more chance of 53 weather. Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, 54 high humidity has the opposite effect.Today’s methods of prediction increasingly depend on 55 . Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with 56 equipments send data to computers. The data is then 57 , and the weather is predicted. However, 58 this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special59 for predicting weather. However, it is 60 that these people could use their talent in another way, since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system—the stock market.It 61 that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden 62 of a disease. An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare 63 conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6 years earlier. Efforts to 64 the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.50. A. shows B. affects C. predicts D. introduces51.

Students in his Drone Journalism Lab are ___52___ different uses for drones in news reporting.Matt Waite says, “Drone journalism as an idea is less than a year old at this point. The first____53___ I saw was a labor protest in Poland where a man had a remote-controlled helicopter and he put a camera on it, flew it up and got just a ___54___ of the protests from the air.And you could see police moving into position to ___55___ the protest route. A video on You Tube shows images captured by the so-called RoboKopter. A group of citizen journalists in Moscow used a ___56___ drone camera to record protests during Russian Parliamentary elections.Professor Waite noted a recent environmental case in the United States captured by someone flying his remote-controlled airplane. He said that the man ___57___ a meat packing plant that was polluting a nearby creek that ran into a nearby river. He had images of a ___58___ of blood flowing out of this meat packing plant, which was against the law. And environmental regulatory authorities were ___59___ to it.Andrew Sniderman is a co-founder of the Genocide Intervention Network. He wrote recently in the New York Times that drones could be used to collect important information in ___60___ areas, like Syria.Professor Waite also imagines many other uses for drones. He thought of every hurricane, tornado, fire and every kind of mass ___61___ that he ever covered as a journalist and thought that would be ___62___ to have it as a tool."Drone use in the United States is now rare ___63___ federal restrictions on airspace.

As children, a period of deep uncertainty and sensitivity, 50 and family are the top needs although we may not think of them in those terms. As teenagers, we are 51 the waters of adult life, preparing ourselves for the exciting unknown and as young adults we search for a52 . The drive to fulfil each stage is so strong that sometimes we have to hold the breath to53 .At each stage, although everyone may 54 in dreams, we will all try to take hold of the means to achieve our particular dreams. Some will be driven with almost tunnel vision, others take a(n) 55 attitude to getting there. Anyway, without dreams it is hard to direct life. If you are fortunate enough to achieve your current dreams, you can move forward for 56desires and prepare yourself for a new conquest.For each period of life the needs are decided by that stage, and as we grow older, whether we like it or not, we gain 57 , which, on the basis of former facts and information, permits us to see a broader view if we are wise enough to take on board what is there. As we mature, the sharpness of the 58 of youth, the black and white approach to life, will be tempered by what is possible, kind, just and fair. Ageing helps us to grow if we allow it. So often we 59 that process, holding on tightly to rooted beliefs which do not do us any favour, yet our needs change and in result we will 60 be different.Physically, even when we stay fit and able, the body cannot deliver in quite the same way as youth. This comes as a(n) 61 to most of us who start life in the belief that we are unbeatable and will live forever. Again, Coming to terms with this fact helps us to 62 anxiety, and finally realize the unexpected benefits which come along with 63 face and slowed body. What was important when we were young can be seen now in a new light, and a different list of importance emerges. In the end, extreme age can be as demanding and sensitive as babyhood, so while one's need changes through life, it seems to come 64 .50. A. finance B. security C. marriage D. education51.

The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience with due __(57)__ to all life’s other requirements.

On the other hand, there are steps we can take to eliminate much of 50 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet 51 task.To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain to process information subconsciously.Another way involves 52 processing of information such as during conversation. We have a great deal of control over this type of information processing --- both as givers and receivers. If we indulge (任凭) ourselves talking about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 53 can be wasted. Meanwhile this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and distribute information that is truly useful for 54 in this troubled world.Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 55 takes longest. The written word is still the most powerful way of 56 imagination and conveying information, ideas, and concept.How can we 57 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV program, computer games, and other 58 activities? The answer is screening. Screening, sorting out or prioritizing what we need to hear, see, say or read may 59 much information anxiety.To cut through confusing information, 60 this basic rule: Keep it simple!

The difference is important 50 industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the 51 .In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating income than those that 52 at key moments to make sure they were on the right 53 .

They thought 56 about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes 57 to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes whenit is 58 . They became more 59 to idea and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look and learn. 60 , performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving 61 , stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about62 .Strategic speed 63 a kind of leadership.

Functional language proficiency, however, __50__ mastery of a considerably large number of words. It is therefore __51__ at the intermediate and advanced stages of language acquisition to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. There is not enough time to __52__ the natural (largely incidental) L1 (the first language) word acquisition process. Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point, __53__, on account of their low frequency, they do not __54__ often enough in the L2 learning material.Acquisition of new words from authentic L2 reading texts by means of strategies such as contextual deduction(演绎) is also not a __55__ for a number of reasons. There appears to be no __56__to intentional learning of a great many new words in a relatively short period of time. The words to be learned may be __57__ in isolation or in context. Presentation in bilingual（双语的）word lists seems an __58__ shortcut because it takes less time than contextual presentation and yields excellent short term results. Long term memory, __59__, is often disappointing so contextual presentation seems advisable.Any suggestions on how to use this in educational contexts should be based on a systematic __60__ of the two most important aspects of the L2 word learning problem, this is to say, selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditionsfor the acquisition process. This article sets out to __61__a computer assisted word acquisition programme (CA VOCA) which tries to do exactly this: the programme operationalises current theoretical thinking about word acquisition, and its __62__ are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group. To __63__its frequency, the programme was __64__ in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words.

I was determined to __52__, feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.__53__, as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall –a __54__ survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude __55__ as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to __56__ my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers __57__ held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with __58__ in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed __59__ at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to __60__ them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”That incident made me think about how __61__ children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a __62__ learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror.

The 51link between the nations and people of the world is called globalization. It is a 52that has changed ways of life around the world.Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce. In an effort to build a 53economy, most nations of the world have embraced (拥抱) free trade. Free trade removes certain limits imposed(强加) on global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods with one another. A 54aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce 55.

For example, in Jamaica, a country which imported milk from the United States and the 58milk was cheaper than local milk, more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition. At the same time, the cheaper milk put 59dairy farmers out of business.

Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations. They believe that the globalizing trend benefits the poor.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions. Although they 63that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations, they doubt that it reduces poverty. In fact, they cite (引述) studies which show that poverty has increased as a result of the global。

In competitions, there are always w_________ and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.Each time I saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words: “Y ou must work very hard in order to have a good f__________.” So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I s__________ knew what competition was.

Then one day, after a misunderstanding (误解), Joyce stopped talking to Jessica. For more than three months, Joyce refused to talk to Jessic a or answer her notes. “During that time, I found out what a important friend she was,” Jessica says, “I couldn’t even give all my attention to my study, I just thought about how to heal (修复) our friendship. ”The next term, Jessica tried again. This time, Joyce was also happy to work it out. It took some time and hard work,but the friendship was healed.Most of us have suffered the pain of broken friendship. But the good news is that most friendships can be healed. Oxford professor Michael Argyle recently finished a 15-year study that found out what makes people happy. What did he find? The key to happiness is having one close relationship and a network of friends. Other studies show that our social connections make us healthier. Keeping healthy friendship is worth the hard work!If there’s broken friendship you’d like to heal, try the following advice:·Try to see things from your friend’s point of view.·Talk about the problem openly and kindly.At first, Jessica didn’t understand why Joyce stopped talking to her. Then Joyce finally explained that Jessica’s trick make her upset. “I finally found out she was angry because I made fun of her in front of the boys in our class.” Jessica explained. Jessica meant nothing by her trick and thought it shou ldn’t make Joyce upset. But when she realized that it was embarrassing(令人难堪的) to Joyce, she stopped. Then their friendship could heal.It’s not strange for friendships to change. Problems come when one friend tries to keep on while the other friend lets go. If your friend isn’t ready to work things out, accept it and move on.93. Why did Joyce and Jessica stop talking to each other?___________________________________________________________________________94. How did Jessica feel when Joyce didn’t want to talk to her?___________________________________________________________________________95. After some time and hard work, Jessica and Joyce became friends again, didn’t they?___________________________________________________________________________96.

2012届上海市高三二模英语试卷——选标题（崇明）A.Analyze visual information.B.Have a good concentration skill.C.Do a good workout.D.Keep a good memory.e logic and reasoning skills.F.Build up language skills.Many men are devoted to exercise to build up their bodies, but the phrase ―use it or lose it‖applies to more than just the muscle in our bodies—it also applies to our brains. Here are 5 tips that can help our brains stay sharp.76. _________It plays an important role in all cognitive activities, including reading, reasoning and mental calculation. There are several types of its work in the brain. Taken together, these are the cognitive skills we may notice most when they begin to fail. To keep a good memory, you need to train for it, which can be easier than you think. Listening to music is enjoyable. By choosing a song you don‘t know and memorizing the lyrics, you improve your memory skills.77. _________It is necessary in nearly all daily tasks and it enables you to focus despite noise and to think about several things at once. We can improve the skill by simply changing our routines. Change your course to work or reorganize your desk—both will force your brain to wake up and pay attention again.78. _________It will increase your ability to recognize, remember and understand words. With regular practice, you can expand your knowledge of new words and more easily think of words to say because they will come to you more naturally. For example, if you usually only read the sports section, try reading a few business articles. You‘ll learn new words, and by using them you can also exercise your brain.79. _________You can also exercise your brain by taking advantage of your environment. Try walking into a room and picking out five items and their locations. When you exit the room, try to remember all five items and where they are located. Too easy? Wait two hours and try to remember those items and their locations. Analyzing what you saw will force you to use your memory and train your brain to focus on your surroundings.80. _________It helps you make decisions, build up hypotheses and consider the possible consequences of your actions.Activities in which you must define a strategy to reach a desired outcome and calculate the right moves to reach the solution in the shortest possible time are actually fun activities you can do daily. For example, playing video games requires you to come up with a strategy so as to advance to the next level.76. D 77. B 78. F 79. A 80. E（奉贤）76. ________________________A world record is every athlete‘s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today‘s qualifying times. Roger Bannister‘s famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women‘s marathon since. 1953. ‗Faster, higher, stronger‘, is the Olympic motto, and today‘s competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders if this can continue.77. ________________________The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For example, since the introduction of strong flexible, fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record. There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe. And while a shoe won‘t actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable, injury-free training.78. ________________________Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than anything else. Athletic technique, training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record. It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.79. ________________________The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete‘s style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles. For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.80. ________________________In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes feed all their information into a database, it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut76—80 FECBD（虹口）76.broadband(宽带) will be in all of them. Anycapability a personal computer has, a car will have, including two –way wireless communications forreceiving e –mail, music, and movies. When yo u‘re crossing the lonely place, the kids can watch TV if they‘re bored. Every passenger will have a video feed.77. Every car will have a self –driving system linked to GPS satellites. Radar sensors (传感器) will track nearby cars. On the freeway, they‘ll slow your car when the car ahead of you slows; in town, they‘ll help you park without hitting other cars. At rush hour, you‘ll get the routes around traffic jams and accidents. The self –driving system in a car makes it possible for the car to drive itself, though some scientists say that‘s 30 to 40 years off.78. a small gasoline engine and an electric motor will be brought together. Drivers will use electricity in a storage battery for short distances. Longer term, cars might burn hydrogen or use a fuel cell that converts a fuel like hydrogen and combines it with oxygen to create power. Then the waste will be pure water.79. reliable electronic controls replace mechanical controls. Fiber optics (光纤) replace electrical wires and light bulbs. Seats will be air –conditioned. The car will travel with one side higher than the other when turning, just as an airplane does now.80. Cars will avoid some accidents by maintaining safe following distances, and by sensing sleepy or drunk drivers. Air bags will adapt for every passenger according to their size, weight, and position in case accidents happen.76-80：ECABD76.It‘s been said that ―everybody lies sometimes.‖ And it‘s true. Everyone does lie from time to time.Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.77.The first thing one has to understand about lying is that there are at least five different types of liars: themodel of absolute integrity, the real straight-shooter, the pragmatic fibber, a real Pinocchio and the compulsive liar, according to sociologist – anthropologist Dr. Gina Graham Scott.78. Dr. Robert G. Newby, the professor of sociology at Central Michigan University, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women . ―Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,‖ he says. ―Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.‖ Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes , are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone‘s eyes like men.79. Dr Ronn Elmore, Los Angeles-based relationship counselor, does not believe that lying is based on gender. ―But I believe when women lie it tends to be verbal, plain old -fashioned lies with words. But when men lie, it is often nonverbal, as in doing what he says he would not do or not doing what he promised he would do. Either way, it‘s a lie, male vers ion or female version. It is the opposite of integrity.‖80. Vesta Callender, psychotherapist in New York City, also agrees that one‘s gender does not play a role in lying, but men and women do lie differently. ―Women concern more while lying. They plan better,‖ Callender notes. ―They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. It‘s a real entanglement.‖ Callender believes that men ―tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.‖76—80 BAECF(One of the consequences of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11 March was, of course, a leak of radiation at the Fukushima nuclear power station on the country‘s east coast. Soon afterwards, all the people living within twenty kilometres of the plant were told to leave because of the danger from the radiation.The pros and cons of nuclear power always come up in debates about how the world should produce the energy it needs. Those who think the risks are too great can obviously use Chernobyl –and now Fukushima –in their argument, while also pointing out that nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundreds of years, and asking what might happen if terrorists ever chose to attack a nuclear power plant. Those who support nuclear power point out that a very small amount of nuclear fuel can create a huge amount of energy, and that unlike the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, nuclear power stations don‘t contri bute to global warming by pushing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.Most of the world‘s energy currently comes from fossil fuels, but this can‘t go on forever. As well as the problem of global warming there is the simple fact that the Earth has a limited amount of these resources. They will eventually run out – although there is a lot of disagreement about when that might be.Apart from nuclear power, which currently provides less than 10% of the world‘s energy, the other alternative is energy from renewable sources. These include hydropower, biofuels (made mostly from crops), wind power and solar power, and together they currently provide around 15% of the world‘s energy. Some scientists think renewable energy is the great hope for the future – not only because it won‘t run out but also because it is less risky than nuclear power and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels.Other scientists, however, believe we will never produce enough renewable energy to fill the gap when fossil fuels begin to run out. That is why, even while watching the very worrying events in Japan, they argue that nuclear power will always have to be part of the solution to the world‘s energy problems.76—80 DBEFC（闵行）76.As public playgrounds grow increasingly worn and shabby, the for-profit centers offer clean, safe,supervised activities as well as a variety of challenging exercises to develop youngsters‘ physicalfitness, usually for a f ee of around $5 an hour. ―Playgrounds are dirty, not supervised,‖ says Dick Guggenheimer, owner of the two-month-old Discovery Zone in Yonkers, N.Y., part of a Kansas City-based chain. ―We‘re indoors; we‘re padded; parents can feel their child is safe.‖77.colored plastic balls, mazes, obstacle courses, slides and mountains to climb. Now McDonalds is getting into the act. The burger giant is test-marketing a new playground, Leaps&Bounds, in Naperville, Ill. Phys Kids of Wichita has opened one center and has plans to expand.78. American parents are rightly worried about their kids ‘ leisure life. There are 36 million children in the U.S. aged 2 to 11 who watch an average of 24 hours of TV a week and devote less and less energy to active recreation. Nationwide decrease in education budgets are making the problem worse, as gym classes and after-hours sports time get squeezed. Says Discovery Zone president Jack G union: ―We have raised a couple of pure couch potatoes.‖79. cater to (迎合) the concerns of two-earner families, staying open in the evenings, long after traditional public playground have grown dark and unusable. At Naperville‘s Leaps&Bounds, families can play together for $4.95 per child, parents free. Fresh-faced assistants, dressed in colorful sport pants and shirts, guide youngsters to appropriate play areas for differing age group.80. play with their kids rather than drop them off. But several also provide high-tech baby-sitting services. At some of the Discovery Zones, parents can register their children in special supervised programs, then leave them and slip away for a couple of hours to enjoy a movie or dinner. The most fun of all, though, is getting to do what parents used to do in the days before two-career families and two-hour commutes: play with their kid. That, at least, is old-fashioned, even at per-hour rates.76. C 77. A78. F 79. D 80. B（浦东）An interview with Benno Nigg, the sports scientist76.Nigg‘s Answer: That is a little bit overstated. But the literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development. If you take a group of people and want to injure them, send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run. A lot of them will be injured in three weeks. The major factors are the distance run, the intensity and recovery time, not the shoes.77. Nigg‘s Answer: The problem is that if you go to a st ore and want to find your best shoes, you don‘t know what to do. Things that are sometimes done, like video analysis of your rear foot movement, may not help. The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels. If you feel comfortable i n a shoe, it‘s likely to be good for you.78. Nigg‘s Answer: A shoe may act as a training device, making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users. Or it may use materials that last longer. That may have something to do with its price. However, for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features. Generally, the more a shoe controls movement, the more it acts like a cast, which means you lose some muscle strength, and your feet are more likely to be injured.79. Nigg‘s Answer: Yes, for about 80 per cent of people. The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint, and a reduction of knee and lower back pain. However, some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated, such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.80. Nigg‘s Answer: There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot, but there is not yet enough evidence, or enough research, to prove that. If you look at performance, most papers suggest an advantage of 3 to 4 per cent. With a few exceptions, people don‘t run barefoot, so it may be that it‘s not an advantage, or it may be that we‘re just not used to it.76--80. DBCFE（普陀）Marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life. While more Americans are getting married today than ever before, the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year). Why should this be so, and what, if anything, can we do to reverse this trend?77.__________For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.78. _________Families, too, are simpler today. In American, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.79.________Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up ―bachelor‖ apartment. This is the era of women‘s liberation.80. ________But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage. Men and women, no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance, find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life. When happiness becomes misery, many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce. On the other hand, there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor. He listens patiently while they talk, knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems.76-80 F B DE A（徐汇、金山）school newspaper can be a great learning experience and is a respectable thing to put on a resume(简历) in the future as it shows your interviewer your leadership skills and that could very well help land you the dream job for your future. Being part of the school newspaper will give you a good idea on other people you barely know and also it will give you a chance to learn what goesto the party, and that is authority. A teacher is there primarily to help make sure that everyone gets their articles in on time. With a teacher, staff simply feel an obligation to get their articles in. This really makes your job a lot easier. A teacher not only sees to it that articles are handed in on time,suitable for a middle school newspaper. Don't print anything hinting on weapons, violence, drugs, or basically anything that's illegal or not fit for12 articles, brainstorm 12. Some ideas are: games, colouring contest, short story, advice, random facts, sports, poetry or fashion. Once you have these articles planned out, open a word document and come up with cool titles and layout for your newspaper. You can copy a few things from the internet, but if it has a copyright, make sure to sayarticle because life consists of all things, e.g. sickness, vacation, family affairs etc. Also tell them to let you know if they can't get one article in so you can cover for them. Print off the schedule and give it to all your staff members.Section C76. D 77. B 78. F 79. C 80. E(杨浦Malaria is a serious and ancient disease caused by one-celled Plasmodium parasites, and malaria is spread by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria include periodic chills, fever, headache, and sweating. Complications affecting the kidneys, liver, brain, and blood can be fatal. Malaria is a major health problem in the tropics, where it afflicts up to 500has fallen rapidly as efforts to combat the disease have ramped up, according to a new researchMore than 1.2 million people died from malaria worldwide in 2010, nearly twice the number found in the most recent comprehensive study of the disease. The researchers say that deaths from malaria have been missed by previous studies because of the assumption that the disease mainly kills children under five. They found that more than 78,000 children aged 5 to 14, and more than 445,000 people aged 15 and older died from malaria in 2010, meaning that 42 percent of allreports, the trend in malaria deaths has followed a similar downward pattern. Starting in 1985, malaria deaths grew every year before peaking in 2004 at 1.8 million deaths worldwide. Since then, the number of deaths has fallen annually and, between 2007 and 2010, the decline in deathsResearchers say the biggest drivers of the decline in malaria deaths have been the scaleup of insecticide-treated bed nets and artemisinin-combination treatments. This has been accomplished through the advent of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Malaria & Tuberculosis in 2001 and the creation of organizations focused on fighting malaria, such as the World Health Organization's Roll Back Malaria, Malaria No More and Nothing But Nets. Overall funding for malaria efforts grew from less than 250 million U.S. dollars annually in 2001 to more than two billion in 2009, according to the researchers' latest estimates.76-80 DBFAC（闸北）of troubled Stockton, California, had to tell city council members why it was on track to become the biggest American city yet to go bankrupt (破产), it took hours to get through the list. There was the free health care for retirees, the unpaid parking tickets, the revenue bonds without enough revenue to pay them. On it went, a grim drumbeat of practicallyaside for every dollar of benefits its workers expect. Some public pension experts think they know why pensions were not on the city manager's list. They see the hidden hand of California's giant state pension system, known as Calpers, which administers hundreds of billions of dollars inCalpers does not want cities like Stockton going back on their promises, and it argues that the state law bars any reduction in pensions — and not just for people who have already retired. State law also forbids cuts in the pensions that today's public workers expect to earn in the future, Calpers says, even in cases of severe financial distress. Workers at companies have no comparableAs the United States population ages and more and more public workers qualify for retirement,, the cost of their pensions is growing fast, turning into a major drag on many local governments' finances. The pension contributions that cities must make every year are rising, but their revenue, which often depends on property taxes, is not keeping up. Taxed-out residents,Now Stockton is in the midst of a mediation process with its creditors that will determine by the end of June whether it will file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy, which would allow the city to negotiate reductions in its debt in court. For Calpers, the prospect of a California city bankruptcy indicates a potential failure of its pension system. Such a challenge could blow an unsustainable hole in what experts consider pension protection which used to be most airtight. The Calpers is now awaiting a vague future.76-80 CFAEDIf you are interested in personal development you have probably heard Brian Tracy‘s words, ―You are what you think about most of the time‖. It is true, by th inking about something enough you push it into your subconscious, your mental computer that works 24 hours a day.76.________________When you dream your conscious turns off, giving you a view of what is going on in your subconscious. You most important work will be done when you sleep. Your mind will be working without your conscious getting in the way. I t will be solving problems you don‘t even know you have and present you with solutions.77.________________Your dreams mirror your thoughts. It is your subconscious. By pushing a message into your subconscious it will be a part of your dreams. But to get something into your subconscious takes effort. You need to think about it constantly, write it down, visualize it, repeat it to yourself and almost become obsessed by it.78.________________Once you have pushed your thoughts into your subconscious you will start dreaming about solutions. You will then start to see changes in the world around you and before long you will become what you have dreamed about. In shorter time then you can imagine you can do extra ordinary things. If you have read ―Think and Grow Rich‖ By Napoleon Hill, he shares this advice in his book and shows examples of how some of the most successful men and women have changed their lives and gone from rags to riches in just a short time.79._________________Most of us have a special skill to think about more about the negative, but the danger of this is that you will be pushing this into your subconscious, making your mental computer work on solutions to give you even more grief. If you are to succeed you have to change your mental programming. In addition, you have to become a more positive person, focusing on the good and on solutions.80._________________Keep repeating positive messages to yourself throughout the day. If you want to rekindle the romance in a relationship it can be enough to repeat to yourself day in and day out ―I love my wife or partner‖. This will push it into your subconscious and your will start finding solutions to make it reality. In addition, when you have your goals in writing it becomes easier to think about them. You can spend time reading them every day. You can write down plans, think about ideas and so on. All this will push your goals deeper into your subconscious and help you speed up your success.(D) 76-80 DACFE。

One day I was out working on the farm when my tractor overturned. I was underneath the tractor and I was losing blood. With nobody around to help, I thought I would die when that pig came. He dug and rooted around with his nose till he got me out and he pulled me back to the house. He saved my life."Wow, that's really amazing," said the salesman, but I still don't know why the pig only has one leg.""Well, I'll tell you," said the farmer. "One night, my wife and I were asleep at about 3 a.m. when a fire broke out in the kitchen. That pig broke the door and came into our bedroom. It woke us up and got us out before the fire could get us. He saved our lives again!""Well, that's really great but why does the pig only have one leg?"Well, when you get a pig that smart, you don't want to eat him all at once!"(17. F 18. T 19. F 20. F 21.

Before that, most kids were taught what they needed to learn at home.When you learn reading, math, and other subjects taught in school from your parents or private teachers who come to your house, it's called homeschooling. A kid may be the only one, or he or she may be taught with brothers, sisters, or kids from the neighborhood.Parents choose to home school their children for many different reasons. Sometimes a kid is sick and can't go to regular school. But more often, kids are homeschooled because their parents feel they can give their child a better education than the local school can.You might wonder if kids have to go to school. It's true that kids must be educated, but the law allows the kids to be schooled at home. In fact, more than 1.3 million students do it in the USA alone. These kids can learn just as much as they do in regular schools, but their parents are in charge of their education.Homeschool parents must make sure that their kids get the instruction and the experiences they need. The parents also may have to write a report every year to explain to the government who's teaching the kid and which subjects are being taught at home.(24. 1635 25. math 26. sick 27. local 28. 1.3 29. law 30. report ) Part 2II. 31.

I have too much schoolwork to do." When his father heard this. he said, "I promise to give you anything you want if you can finish one year's work." Tom thought for a moment and agreed.On the first Saturday, the boy got up early and worked hard until evening, just like any other farmer. Time passed quickly. Tom's crops grew well. On the last day of the year, the father called his son to him, "I'm happy to see that you have worked very hard this year," said the father. "Now, tell me what you want.”The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread. He made it from the wheat he worked so hard to grow. "I've already got the best thing. No pain, no gain. I think this is what you wanted me to know." His father was very happy to hear that.(17. F 18. T 19. F 20. T 21. F 22. F 23. T)D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences 4These days, most people in Britain and the US do not dress formally. But sometimes it is important to wear the right things.Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas, and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.But in Britain, as Well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts(not trousers). Doctors, lawyers, and business people wear formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear tidy dresses.In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are careful with their clothes. At home, or on holidays, most Americans wear informal or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then dress the same. You will feel more comfortable if you don't look too different from everyone else.(24. right 25. comfortable 26. themselves 27. concerts 28. Doctors 29. less 30. Watch)Part.2II.

Listen to the passage and tell whether the following statements are true or falseThe story of Harry Potter happened in an ancient castle, so many teenagers dream about living in an ancient castle. These dreams may include beautiful silk dresses, delicious food, servants and of course, magic. However, real life in an English castle was not easy. With thick stonewalls and high towers, castles were noisy places with an unpleasant smell. Horses, cows, chickens and sheep walked free. Soldiers practiced sword fights every day. And children of all ages played around them. Castles did not have central heating; the only heat came from the fireplace. Even in summer the castle was cool. People living in the castle had to use blankets to keep warm while at work.Life during the Middle Ages began at sunrise. Servants lit the fire, swept the floor and cooked the morning meal. After dinner, everyone continued his or her work. the owners of the castle sometimes took his guests hunting or shooting. His wife spent much of the day watching the servants work, as well as cooks working in the kitchen. Supper was simple and eaten late, just before bedtime.You may find some old magic books in a castle as Harry Potter once did. Read them before you go to bed, because when you fall asleep , the magic of castle life may appear before your eyes.(17. T 18. F 19. F 20. T 21. F 22. F 23. T)D.

It was really different from my school in China. Girls wore grey skirts and white shirts, boys wore grey trousers, and everyone wore the school tie. Some of Sam's lessons Were a bit strange for me. We were reading Shakespeare in the English lesson, and there were various old-fashioned words like "thou" and "thee" to mean "you". In history lessons, we studied 20th Century China. It was strange hearing English people trying to say all our Chinese names! Classes were also a lot more relaxing and active than in China. Male teachers were called "sir" and female teachers "miss" out of respect, but everyone shouted out and waved their hands in lessons. It was more like a debate than a class. A bell rang at the end of each lesson and everyone jumped up to go to the next class. At break we bought "potato crisps" and "cakes" in the dining room. Lunch was later than in China-at one o' clock. We had big plates of pies wi.th peas and carrots. For dessert there was hot sweet rice, called rice pudding, with jam in it. It was good that I'd had a huge lunch because at Sam's school, Monday afternoons are taken up with sports.Part 1I. A. 1. D 2. E 3. B 4. G 5. A 6. CB. 7. A 8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 12. B 13. D 14. C 15.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)United States Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks knew that he had a pool of good but young hockey players as he watched them play during the tryouts for the 1980 national team. He decided to choose the players who were the most aggressive and played the hardest.Brooks was pleased with his final choices. However, he knew his team would be the underdog if they faced the powerful team of professionals from the Soviet Union(USSR). During the week before the Olympics began, the U.S. team played the Soviets in an exhibition game and last badly, 10-3. In spite of the defeat, Brooks thought that if his team played up to their potential, they might be able to win a medal.After the 1980 Winter Olympic Games began in Lake Placid, New Y ork, the United States was behind Sweden 2-1 in their first game. With a last-second shot, Bill Baker tied(与……打成平局) the game for the U.S. team.In the second round, the United States defeated Czechoslovakia 7-3.

Their opponent was the powerful team from the USSR. The Soviet team had a record of five wins and no losses or ties.The Soviets took a 2-1 lead. Then, in the last second of the first period, the Americans tied the score. With 10 minutes left in the game, the Americans took the lead and held on for a slim 4-3 victory.

To cultivate experts on environmental science and engineering.D. To introduce Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute.(C)The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial（冰川的）activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people, not just the wealthy. V isitors to Acadia mayreceive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.72．The large number of small islands along the coast of Maine is the result of __________.A. the drowning of the Maine coastlineB. glac ier‘s forcing mountains into the seaC. the irregularity of the Maine coastlineD. ocean water‘s flooding the mountain range73．From the passage, we learn that __________.A. the coastline of Maine is ten times longer after the Ice AgeB. there are more than 2500 islands along the Maine coastlineC. Mt. Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretchD. an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt. Desert Island74．What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park?A. It welcomes all the people, rich or poor.B. It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers.C. It offers visitors both entertainment and education.D. It is a border between the two geographical zones.75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The past and the present of MaineB. The formation of Maine coastlineC. Efforts for preserving national parksD. Tourist attractions on Mt. Desert IslandSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.It‘s been said that ―everybody lies sometimes.‖ And it‘s true. Everyone does lie from time to time. Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.77.The first thing one has to understand about lying is that there are at least five different types of liars: the model of absolute integrity, the real straight-shooter, the pragmatic fibber, a real Pinocchio andthe compulsive liar, according to sociologist – anthropologist Dr. Gina Graham Scott.78. Dr. Robert G . Newby , the professor of sociology at Central Michigan University, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women . ―Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,‖ he says. ―Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.‖ Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes , are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Wom en are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone‘s eyes like men.79. Dr Ronn Elmore, Los Angeles-based relationship counselor, does not believe that lying is based on gender. ―But I believe when women lie it tends to be verbal, plain old-fashioned lies with words. But when men lie, it is often nonverbal, as in doing what he says he would not do or not doing what he promised he would do. Either way , it‘s a lie, male version or female version. It is the opposite of i ntegrity.‖80. V esta Callender, psychotherapist in New Y ork City, also agrees that one‘s gender does not play a role in lying, but men and women do lie differently. ―Women concern more while lying. They plan better,‖ Callender notes. ―They create a hist ory around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. It‘s a real entanglement.‖ Callender believes that men ―tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.‖Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us communicate with one another non-verbally, as well as with words. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else‘s eyes and look away, shift positions in a chair. These actions we assume are random and incidental. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to them almost as consistent and comprehensive as language.Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its difference along with spokenlanguage. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, with a future-tense verb, Americans often gesture with a forward movement.There are regional idioms too. An expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Y our sex, moral background, social class and personal style all influence your body language.Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it‘s a case of ―not what he said but the way he said it.‖ Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has come up with this formula: total impact of a message = 7% verbal + 38% gestural + 55% facial.Experts in kinesics – the study of communication through body movement – are not prepared to spell out a vocabulary or gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: When a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man‘s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection; it can be a challenge to the professor‘s authority; or it can be something else entirely. The experts look for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81．What idea does the author aim to convey in paragraph 2?82．Besides moral background, __________ are the other three factors affecting people‘s body language.83．F rom Albert‘s formula, we learn that the body language __________.84．What can you conclude from the examples given in paragraph 5?第II卷I.

One reason for that was the Academy, a government organization with some strict r__86_ ___ about art. It decided what could and could not be art.

They wanted to learn the a___________ languages such as Greek and Latin- languages that were used in the old times, and study mathematics, science, and so on. Many universities were set up during the 16th century.University education was a privilege (特权) of the rich. Girls were not allowed to attend and poor people could not a____________ to go. A member of a wealthy family could attend university at the age of ten. He might study in different universities and since the teaching was all d__________ in Latin, it didn’t matter which country he studied in. It was not unusual for a young boy study one year in Italy and another in France without speaking either French or Italian.It was p_________ in the 16th century to complete university without learning how to read or write. Since books were handwritten, there was not enough to give o___________ to each student. Often, only the teacher had a book. He would read to the students who would memorize what he said. Tests were oral, not written, In fact, many students finished school without ever writing a word.For the not so wealthy, grammar schools were built in towns. They learned basic grammar and mathematics, and took part in Bible study, At home, girls learned washing, cooking, dancing, and the basics of taking care of a household. Poor children r___________ attended school.The Renaissance was a time when learners did not simply accept what they were old. They did scientific experiments themselves to search for a__________ to the mysteries(神秘) of the space.

According to the Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US, has been rising at a record rate since 2004. Its magma (岩浆) surface has gone u 87 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) per year over the last three years alone. This rise is one of the main s 88 that a volcano is about to erupt. However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will happen or what it will cause. Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole world, b 89 it could cause huge damage to people living nearby. For example, the 2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to 1 90 their homes and many airports in European countries to shut down for a few days.There are more than 1,500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcano is c 91 active if it has erupted at least once during the last 10, 000 years. In ancient times, more than 80 percent of the earth's surface was volcanic. Volcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and some mountains over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth's atmosphere (大气) .Volcanoes come from very hot liquid rock, that is magma, inside the earth. When magma comes upward and breaks through the earth's surface, it forms volcanoes.The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions of steam. This pushes rocks and ash high into the sky.

Three浦东新区初三英语第二学期学习能力诊断试卷According to experts, the word Hutong originated from Mongolian language meaning "Well" (井). In ancient times, people tended to gather and live around wells.

The old city was completely destroyed during the war. First, they had to find a center, and then built a r___87___ square city. At that time, there was a clear definition for “Avenue, Street and Hutong”. A 37-metre-wide road was called an avenue, an 18-metre-wide one was called a street, and a 9-metre-wide lane was called a Hutong. Most of today's Hutong were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed. Nobody knows e___88__ how many Hutongs there are in nowadays Beijing. But if we connected all the Hutongs together, their total l___89___ would even be longer than the famous Great wall, which is about 4000 miles.Today you can find v___90___ Hutongs with different shapes, lengths or directions. The shortest one is only 40 centimeters wide. And some Hutongs have more than 20 turns.As we walk t___91___ the Hutongs, you may find most of them look almost the same withgray-colored walls and bricks. Actually inside those walls are the courtyard houses, where people live. In Chinese we call them "Siheyuan". "Si" literally means four, "he" means to surround, and "yuan" refers to the courtyard. So a rectangular wall enclosing four houses, one built on each side facing into the center, is called a Siheyuan. When they were first built, usually one Siheyuan was o___92___ by only one family, but nowadays, with the growth of the population, most Siheyuans are shared by 4 to 10 families.86. appeared 87. regular 88. exactly 89. length 90. various 91. through/toward( s) /to 92. owned普陀区初三英语第二学期学习能力诊断试卷Wendy Martin is an ordinary university student who used to love surfing the Internet and chatting (聊天) with friends online.

They both liked the same music, the same clothes and the same films, but they also had the same worries about studying and the future. Anne had e-mailed her a picture of herself—— she even looked s 89 to Wendy. So, when Anne asked Wendy for her address and phone number, Wendy thought her new friend was a person she could trust. It was only when Wendy got a letter from the bank that she realized something was wrong. Anne was not who she said she was. She was not a university student, she was not young and she was not even a woman. 'Anne' was really a 45-year-old man called Tim Histanon. He p 90 to like the same things as Wendy.

From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send ..." and so on? Of course, it n 86 happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is w 87 most people want.Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some u 88 radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only two or three times a week, learning it will t 89 a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language f 90 by studying forsix or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is s 9l . However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work b 92 .

They believed that itwould be better for everybody if only bicycles were a 86 in the city center.They hoped that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and providefree transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed themin public places around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was able to use them for s 87 journeys, whether he was a local or a foreigner. Wherever someone finished a journey, they would l 88 the bicycle there for someone else to use.

To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new “white bicycle” is not white any more but is an unusual design with bright colours.

He decided to choose the players who were the most aggressive and played the hardest.Brooks was pleased with his final choices. However, he knew his team would be the underdog if they faced the powerful team of professionals from the Soviet Union(USSR). During the week before the Olympics began, the U.S. team played the Soviets in an exhibition game and last badly, 10-3. In spite of the defeat, Brooks thought that if his team played up to their potential, they might be able to win a medal.After the 1980 Winter Olympic Games began in Lake Placid, New York, the United States was behind Sweden 2-1 in their first game.

A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline. The term comes from the glacial（冰川的）activity of the Ice Age. At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier descended, however, it applied enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land. And the highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. Marine fossils found here are 225 feet above sea level indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.The 2,500-mile-long rocky and jagged coastline of Maine keeps watch over nearly 2,000 islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to blooming communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands left behind by the glacier. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was very nearly formed as two distinct islands. It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a very deep and very narrow stretch of water seven miles long.For years, Mt. Desert Island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, has afforded summer homes for the wealthy. Recently, though, Bar Harbor has become a new arts community as well. But the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Since the island sits on the border between two different geographical zones, the park supports the plants and animals of both zones. It also lies in a major bird migration lane and is a resting spot for many birds.The establishment of Acadia National park in 1916 means that this natural monument will be preserved and that it will be available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, hiking, cycling, andboating. Or they may choose to spend time at the museum learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.72．The large number of small islands along the coast of Maine is the result of __________.A. the drowning of the Maine coastlineB. glacier ’s forcing mountains into the seaC. the irregularity of the Maine coastlineD. ocean water ’s flooding the mountain range73．From the passage, we learn that __________.A. the coastline of Maine is ten times longer after the Ice AgeB. there are more than 2500 islands along the Maine coastlineC. Mt. Desert Island has been broken apart by a 7-mile-long water stretchD. an arts community gave way to the summer homes on Mt. Desert Island74．What CANNOT be inferred about the Acadia Nation Park?A. It welcomes all the people, rich or poor.B. It has much appeal for bird-watching lovers.C. It offers visitors both entertainment and education.D. It is a border between the two geographical zones.75．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The past and the present of MaineB. The formation of Maine coastlineC. Efforts for preserving national parksD. Tourist attractions on Mt. Desert IslandSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.It’s been said that “everybody lies sometimes.” And it’s true. Everyone does lie from time to time . Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.77.The first thing one has to understand about lying is that there are at least five different types of liars: the model of absolute integrity, the real straight-shooter, the pragmatic fibber, a real Pinocchio and the compulsive liar, according to sociologist – anthropologist Dr. Gina Graham Scott.78.Dr. Robert G. Newby, the professor of sociology at Central Michigan University, believes that men aremore likelyto tell lies than women . “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.” Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes , are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.79. gender. “But I believe when women lie it tends to be verbal, plain old -fashioned lies with words. But when men lie, it is often nonverbal, as in doing what he says he would not do or not doing what he p romised he would do. Either way, it’s a lie, male version or female version. It is the opposite of integrity.”80. Vesta Callender, psychotherapist in New York City, also agrees that one’s gender does not play a role in lying, but men and women do lie d ifferently. “Women concern more while lying. They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end. It’s a real entanglement.” Callender believes that men “tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.”Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All of us communicate with one another non-verbally, as well as with words. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, shift positions in a chair. These actions we assume are random and incidental. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to them almost as consistent and comprehensive as language.Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its difference along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs isnothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, with a future-tense verb, Americans often gesture with a forward movement.There are regional idioms too. An expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, moral background, social class and personal style all influence your body language.Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it’s a case of “not what he said but the way he said it.” Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has come up with this formula: total impact of a message = 7% verbal + 38% gestural + 55% facial.Experts in kinesics – the study of communication through body movement – are not prepared to spell out a vocabulary or gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: When a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; or it can be something else entirely. The experts look for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81．What idea does the author aim to convey in paragraph 2?82．Besides moral background, __________ are the other three factors affecting people’s body language.83．F rom Albert’s formula, we learn that the body language __________.84．What can you conclude from the examples given in paragraph 5?第II卷I.
