One of his few possessions, thesleeping bag he used in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen.Remembering how angered he’d been by his own loss, he resolved toreturn the purse to its owner.Hebegan right away, starting with the address on the bill found in thehandbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching theaddress on the bill, he was stopped by a woman, who asked whether shecould buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for itsowner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “That’s mypurse.”Amonth earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for amedical device company, had woken up to find her apartment brokeninto and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-lookingman holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasn’t in goodshape.AtSmith’s urging, McCoy told her his story. He’d been in charge ofa landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left himaddicted to drugs.Smith,amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return herbag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “I’ma drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I don’t want to intrude on yourlife; I’m probably gonna let you down.”Unafraid,Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go torehab(戒毒所),call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left,thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call.Smithrealized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug intoher savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. Whilethere, he would call her to let her know how he was doing. “We weregetting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared, desperatevoice turned into a healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehabprogram at Johns Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at aresidential recovery center in Baltimore, and a GoFundMepage set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, andincidentals.

Unfortunately, this seems to place severelimitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.Onelimitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits.Art museums are often called “treasure houses”. We are remindedof this even before we view a collection by the presence of securityguards who keep us away from the exhibits. In addition, a majorcollection like that of London’s National Gallery is housed innumerous rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worthmore than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judgesthesingle piece of work is likely to be worthmore than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judgesthe personal status of the individual so much by their materialworth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one’s ownrelative “worthlessness” in such an environment.Furthermore,consideration of the “value” of the original work in its treasurehouse setting impresses upon the viewer that since these works wereoriginally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms ofmoney by some person or institution more powerful than themselves.Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alterthat value, and so today’s viewer is discouraged from trying toextend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind ofinterpretation which would originally have met the work.Thevisitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such avariety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in anenvironment for which they were not originally created. This“displacement effect” is further heightened by the huge volume ofexhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably moreworks on display than we could realistically view in weeks or evenmonths.Thisis particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factorin the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental differencebetween paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribedtime over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems areread in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clearplace at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus artworks themselves encourage us to view them superficially, withoutappreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved.Consequently,the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, aspecialized academic approach devoted to “discovering the meaning”of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmonywith the museum’s function, since the approach is dedicated toseeking out and conserving “authentic”, “original” readingsof the exhibits.63.The writer mentions London’s National Gallery to illustrate ______.A.the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection ofartB.the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artisticvaluesC.the negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinion ofthemselvesD.the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artisticschemes64.The writer says that today viewers may be unwilling to criticize awork because they ______.ck the knowledge neededB.fear it may have financial implicationsC.have no real concept of the work’s valueD.feel their personal reaction is of no significance65.The writer says that unlike other forms of art, the appreciation of apainting does not ______.A.involve direct contact with an audienceB.require a specific location for performanceC.need the involvement of other professionalsD.call for a specific beginning or ending66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Original work: killer of artistic appreciationB.Original work: reduction to value of art worksC.Original work: substitute for reproductionD.Original work: art historians’ bread and butterSectionCDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two moresentences than you need.A.Heart failure can by all means be cured by Vitamin D3.B.Changes in heart function were measured by ultrasound.C.In the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiacfunction.D.Participants were asked to take vitamin D3 or a placebo tablet forone year.E.Sunscreen will prevent people from absorbing more Vitamin D3 to agreat extent.F.The finding could make a significant difference to the care ofheart failure patients.VitaminD3 Improve Heart FunctionAdaily dose of vitamin D3 improves heart function in people with heartfailure, a five-year University of Leeds research project has found.Dr.Klaus Witte, from the School of Medicine and Consultant Cardiologistat Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, led the study. He said: “Thisis a significant breakthrough for patients. It is the first evidencethat vitamin D3 can improve heart function of people with heartmuscle weakness –known as heart failure.” __67__VitaminD3 can be boosted by exposure to sunlight, but heart failure patientsare often deficient in it even during the summer because older peoplemake less vitamin D3 in response to sunlight than younger people.Vitamin D3 production in the skin is also reduced by sunscreen.Thestudy, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, involvedmore than 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated fortheir heart failure using proven treatments including beta —blockers, ACE-inhibitors and pacemakers. __68__ Those patients whotook vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function whichwas not seen in those who took a placebo.__69__Heart specialists measure heart function by taking an ultrasound scanof the heart and measuring how much blood pumps from the heart witheach heartbeat, known as ejection fraction. The ejection fraction ofa healthy person is usually between 60% and 70%. In heart failurepatients, the ejection fraction is often significantly impaired —in the patients enrolled into the study the average ejection fractionwas 26%.Inthe 80 patients who took Vitamin D3, the heart’s pumping functionimproved from 26% to 34%. __70__ This means that for some heartdisease patients, taking vitamin D3 regularly may lessen the need forthem to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD), a device which detects dangerous irregular heart rhythms andcan shock the heart to restore a normal rhythm.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own wordsas far as possible.SocialMedia and Teens’ AnxietyFromcyber-bullying to cruel comments, social media can be a land mine forkids. Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for manyteens. With kids’ digital well-being a concern, researchers areexploring potential links between social media and the rise in teensuicide rates, tech addiction, and loss of real-life social skills.Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to haveanxiety?It’sa question that worried parents. Some research has observed arelationship between social media use and anxiety in kids, but it’sdifficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whetherkids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support.How kids use social media matters, too. Social comparison andfeedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressivesymptoms, which often co-occur with anxiety.Howcan parents keep social media a positive for kids?1.Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t invite youto can really be upsetting. If your kid is tired of digital drama,suggest they take a break from social media for a while. In fact, ifthey post a status update that they’re taking a break, theirfriends might be very accepting because they’ve had similarfeelings.2.People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect — not thehomework struggles, or the fight they had with their dad. Remind kidsthat social media leaves the messy stuff out — and that everyonehas ups and downs.3.In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking atWechat, it’s doubly important for them to feel as though they’recultivating their inner lives. Prompt them to balance social mediawith soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies, exercise, reading,and helping others. Otherwise, what are they going to show off abouton social media?V.TranslationDirections:Translatethe following sentences into English, using the words given in thebrackets.72．艺术节开幕式上学⽣的演出真是太棒了！（performance）73．图书管理员提醒新⽣，杂志阅毕要放回原处。

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the samemessage were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifullydesigned – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanationon the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said:“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shoppingit was awebsite like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly youwanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytimehad become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was muchcheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but itwas registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find someinteresting facts, though.

By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information andlooking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleepat his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stotrouble.” Chris smiled.

Tasks that oncerequired a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on yourscreen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violatingcertain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office managerfrom White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terribleone-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few where. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to expresstheir distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friendshave their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings thathave their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguousclues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easilyunderstand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness ofly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up athe body language,” Ivory said, “People immediatefeeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32.

Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C.

Everyone is supposed to put books back to the shelves when the closing bell is sounded.Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?5.M: Wasn’t the show any good?W: The show is good, but I could hardly see the stage from my seat.Q: What does the woman mean?6.M: Do you have your break, lunch and dinner at the cafeteria?W: I have lunch and dinner there, but I always skip breakfast.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?7.M: Are you going to put the seeds of tomatoes into the soil, too?W: I think there is plenty of space to the right of the cucumbers.Q: What are the speakers most probably doing?8.M: The Morson C ompany turned down my application.

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question youhave heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Not everyone knows clearly how to build personal savings, but a savings plan started on a website has helped many put away a nice tidy sum. The fifty-two week money challenge is simple and if it is maintained, it will result in 1378 dollars in your savings account each year. It starts with saving an amount equaling 1 dollar in week 1, 2 dollars in week 2, 3 dollars in week 3, and continues right through the year until 52 dollars in week 52. While these are small in significant amounts, at the end of the year, you will have enough for an emergency fund, family celebration or holiday.Another simple way of building some savings is by depositing as little as two percent of your monthly income into a savings account. The key is that before bills and living expenses start to eat away your salary, you should put aside the savings portion of your pay. Once you have reached a thousand dollars, you’ll find you probably have the motivation to continue to save even more.Questions:11.According to the fifty-two money challenges, how much should be put away in week 3?12.What does the speaker suggest people do with their monthly income?13.What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Life in the town of Tivaton is made up of both good news and bad news. At a local school a successful charity supper has been held. They made more than one thousand dollars and the local family in need got the majority of it. Many people came to the event and the family was very grateful. Yet the bad news is students have been made to wait outside before school. It has been really cold lately and the school should consider letting the students in to get warm before the weather gets even colder. In the town of Tivaton, a new ice-cream store, the Muddy Moos, is opened. It’s a great place to get ice-cream, coffee and other food. As for the bad news, a new bank has been built. While it is good to have a bank nearby, it has also brought much more traffic. In the morning on the way to school, it’s horrible. There is really no space for any more new buildings in the town. Tivaton is more and more like a big city. On reviewing these local news events, it seems Tivaton has a balance of good news and bad news. At least there is enough good news, so it remains a good place for the residents to enjoy their life. Questions:14.For the local family in need of help, what did they get?15.According to the speaker, what should the school do?16.What does the speaker think of the town of Tivaton?Section CDirections:In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.M: Shirley, I am working on a class diary for next week. Would you please give me the information?W: Sure. First it’s the dead line for after class activity application. The dead line is next Monday, June 14th.M: Monday, June 14th.W: Yes. Then on Wednesday, that’s the 16th, all classmates have to hand in three student photos.M: Three student photos.W: OK. Next is the basketball club meeting.

And where will they meet?W: At the stadium.M: And what time?W: From 12:45 to 1:30 p.m.M: Right.W: Then the last thing is about filling in a form with up-to-date personal data. Our class needs to go to the computer room during the morning break on the 18th.M: OK. The morning break on the 18th.W: Oh, wait a minute! I made a mistake.

AWhy don’t quiet carriages work, and how might they be make to? Quiet carriages on trains are a nice idea: travelers voluntarily make their phones silent, turn stereos off and keep chatter to a minimum. However, in reality, there is usually at least one silly babbler(喋喋不休的人) to break the silence.A couple of problems prevent peaceful trips. First, there is a sorting problem: some passengers end up in the quiet carriage by accident and are not aware of the rules. Second, there is a commitment problem: noise is sometimes made by travelers who choose the quiet carriage but find an important call hard to ignore.The train operators are trying to find answers. Trains in Queensland Australia, are having permanent signs added to show exactly what is expected; a British operator has invested in some technology to prevent phone calls.Microeconomics suggests another approach. Fining people for making a noise would surelydissuade(劝阻) the polluter and is a neat solution in theory, but it requires costly monitoring and enforcement. Another way would be to use prices to separate quiet and noisy passengers－in effect, creating a market for silence. A simple idea would be to sell access to the quiet carriage as an optional extra when the ticket is bought. Making the quiet coach both an active choice and a costly one would dissuade many of those who don’t value a peaceful ride.Charging may also solve the commitment problem. This is particularly tricky, as attitudes to noise canchange during the journey. Some passengers would pay the quiet premium but still chatter away when some vital news arrives. Schemes that reward the silent－a rating system among fellow passengers, for example－could help. The idea is that losing your hard-won reputation offsets the short-term gain from using the phone. But such a system also fails the simplicity test.A 2010 book by George Akerlof and Rachel Kranton argues that “norms”－feelings about how everyone should behave－also play a role in decision-making. Charging a price, even if just a token amount, means the quiet carriage becomes a service that fellow passengers have bought, not just a preference they have expressed. Perhaps different norms would come into play, encouraging calm. If not, a personal bubble is always an option: noise-canceling headphones start at around $50.1. According to the passage, what does microeconomics suggest?A. Finding the source of noise.B. Putting a price on noise.C. Avoid using a phone in the carriage.D. Investing more money in monitoring and enforcement.2. By “a personal bubble is always an option,” the author means ________.A. one can make his own choiceB. one should respect others’ privacyC. one can create his own personal spaceD. one should stick to his personal budget3. This passage is mainly about ________.A. people’s favoured transportationB. effective methods of monitoring noise levelsC. possible solutions to noise in train carriagesD. common forms of misbehavior of passengersBThe great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91.awa was one of the more She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizthan 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. n Italked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a da Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word toso often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawaher grandmother’s phone every day. They alwill need for the Olympics. “Welcome t o Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that shewanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. Itjoy now.”The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japanranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing asyounger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unlessJapanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the gamesbegin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.4. Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A. Because English was useless.B. Because she was too young to learn English.C. Because English was forbidden to learn.D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.5. What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Takamizawa gets strong support from her family.B. Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.ish teacher.C.

The early bird catches the worm.D. Two heads are better than one.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to doless well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide programcalled “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children intopre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the resultshave been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three werealready behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. Atthe end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as thechild,s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the mosteffective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age andfamily structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parentsand the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children inthe program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skillsthan their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or familystructure. The one factor that was found to affect the child,s development was the poor quality ofparent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a sim focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates thatit will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8. What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A. The large number of poor families.B. The disapproval from children.C. The late start of the program.D. The long period of time.9. What do we know about the “Missouri” program ?A. It focused on the children,s first school teachers.B. It helped the children return to the same home.C. It made the children improved in many aspects.D. It gave the parents advice on their development.10. According to the passage, what is likely to influence children,s performance ?A. The number of family members.B. The parent-child communication.C. The intelligence of their parents.D. The teacher-student relationship.11. How does the author develop the passage ?A. By listing figures.B. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By drawing conclusions.DWe’ve all been there: those times you need to argue your point of view to someone who you knowdisagrees with you. You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, theFacebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong power of your writtenwords will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new researchsuggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California,Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeder’s study of almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch,listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge thecharacter of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeder’s team found that the part who watched or listened to the communicator were less dismissive (抵触的)of their claims than when theyread that communicator’s same argument.The idea for her study came from a newspaper article about a politician. One of us read a speech thatwas printed in a newspaper from a politician with whom he strongly disagreed. The next week, he heard theexact same speech playing on a radio station. He was shocked by how different his reaction was toward thepolitician when he read the speech compared to when he heard it. When he read the statement, thepolitician seemed idiotic, but when he heard it spoken, the politician actually sounded reasonable.So in the workplace, speaking to someone in person often involves nothing more than walking a fewvince that boss ordoors down to their office. And that’s exactly what you should do if you need to concolleague of why your blueprint for the company or project is the right one.Only as a last way should you try to communicate with someone who you disagree with over socialshort attention make arguing your point anmedia. Twitter’s limited text allowance and social media users’ uphill battle.12. What’s the result of the research?A. Written words are more logical and reasonable.B. People prefer to communicate with key board.C. When reading an argument, the participants were less dismissive than hearing it.D. Oral, not written, communication works better.13. Why is the politician mentioned in paragraph3?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.C. To explain why Schroeder conducted the research.D. To introduce the politician’s speech.14. What does the underlined word “idiotic’’in paragraph 3 mean?A. Wise.B. Practical.C. Silly.D. Special.15. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. To persuade your boss, you need to walk to his office and leave a message.B. It’s difficult to fully explain your points due to social media’s limitation.C. Arguing over social media is more convenient than speaking in person.D. Communicating with others over social media is encouraged.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Every year in the U.S. about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste. A lot of it is fruits and vegetables, like three legged carrots, and fought strawberries. They are deserted simply because they are not pretty enough to bed is played on store shelves. If you look at the big picture, about a third of the planet's food goes to waste for the same reason.That's enough to feed 2 billion people. Now, a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change that situation. The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and sells them to local residents at a deep discount. It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price. Similar campaigns are underway in places like Boston, as well as Portugal and the UK.For now, most chain supermarkets don't carry ugly fruits and vegetables. But Steve Clark's of Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food. He says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the same kind of taste and health.Now listen again.Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.A city in England has started an ambitious plan to plant as many as 1 million trees every year for the next decade. The project is called the City of Trees. Project director Tony Brown explained that the green venture has three main aims. He said, One is to plant a tree for every man, woman, and child over the next decade. Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because it doesn't make any sense to plant new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already.Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting trees in managing areas. And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society, Mr. Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched environmental project. He said our city wants to be a world class region. We have a lot of fantastic economic development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that.He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world, provide benefits to health and reduce stress. He said “woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns reduce the urban heat island effec t and flooding”.

Here is my visa application and my acceptance letter from Yale's undergraduate department.Q: What is the man?2. M: How long will it take for this parcel to reach Paris?W: How would you like it mailed?Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?3. M: I know you are keen on travelling. What do you plan to do this summer vacation?W: Considering the experience I had in Sydney last year, I prefer to stay at home.Q: What does the woman imply?4.

I want to get something for Mr. Smith's family.W: Do you have anything in mind?Q: What are the man and the woman discussing?6. W: It's supper time. Let's get something to eat.

W: I'm a bit concerned about my grades, Mr. Smith.M: But you are getting straight A's, aren't you?

The doctor said she shouldn't even attempt to whisper.Q: What can we learn about Emily from the conversation?10. W: I really can't understand why you drink coffee every day. I just take it when I stay up late for finals.M: I drink it for refreshment and to improve my productivity. More than that, I drink it for socialization, such as business negotiation.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?Have you ever lost your car in a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you don't have a clue where your car is. Then you start wandering around clicking the panic button on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be frustrating, especially on a hot, sunny day.Do you need to install an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car? No. That's too expensive. Plus, you would need to pay a monthly fee just to use it. But now there is a way to track your vehicle without spending a coin.A California-based startup company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you're looking for! It's a tracking device the size of a quarter. It's changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.It's easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you're ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep labels on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less. You can attach it to your keys, briefcase wallet, your latest tech devices and anything else you don't want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.Questions11. Why isn't a GPS system a good way to track your car?12. What do we know about TrackR from the passage?13. What can be used to describe TrackR?In raising clever kids, there are exceptions. It's maltreatment that seems to fuel exceptional achievement more than anything. It's not a gene that enables it - it's great difficulty. For instance, one in three exceptional achievers in all fields that have been studied lost a parent before the age of 15 (compared with 18% before modern medicine). That applies equally to prime ministers, American presidents, British business people and exceptional writers. These people are driven by the pain of loss.Of course, exceptional success does require exceptionally hard work. Staying comfortable is not the way. It creates needy, hungry and lonely adults. Emotional grief leads to exceptional achievers. British senior managers are actually more likely to be self-centered than patients in mental hospitals. It's the same in the arts.If you really care a lot about having an exceptional child, you should ensure that your children love you and you love them. By all means have ambitions for them. A child whose parents have no ambition is emotionally neglected, but if they are going to be emotionally healthy and exceptional achievers, ambitions really come from them.Questions:14. Among exceptionally successful people, what percentage of them lose a parent before the age of 15?15. Which of the following are more likely to be self-centered according to the passage?16. What is the passage mainly talking about?Brent: Hello, Alison.Alison: Hi, Brent. You look great! Are you on a diet?Brent: No, but I am getting more exercise. And I did quit smoking recently.Alison: Quit smoking? I thought you said smoking helped relieve your stress.Brent: It did at first. But after I became more aware of the harmful effects of smoking, my perspective changed. Alison: It must have been something pretty serious.Brent: It was. I've been smoking for years, but last month I started coughing really badly.Alison: That's scary. It's true that smoking can cause lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases.Brent: I had read about that stuff and didn't think it applied to me until I got that cough. Then I realized I should take it seriously.Alison: And now that you've quit, the people around you won't be affected by secondhand smoke.Brent: I know! Recently, I've been on my friend's case to quit smoking now that she's pregnant.Alison: That's very dangerous. The baby could get asthma which will affect its entire life.Brent: I read a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) that said a top cause of death for children under the age of five is air pollution. Much of that is from secondhand smoke.Alison: Oh, what else?Brent: The report also said that secondhand smoke and air pollution result in about 570,000 child deaths around the world each year. The true harm of tobacco smoke is that it is a silent killer. Have you ever heard of thirdhand smoke?Alison: You mean the poisonous chemicals from tobacco smoke that are left on things like clothes and furniture? Brent: Exactly. So there's really no avoiding the poisons left behind by smoking.Alison: Even using a fan or air conditioner can't get rid of the remains. The poison remains on surfaces for at least six months and is especially dangerous for babies and young children.Brent: I used to think smoking was just a matter of personal choice. But obviously there are more things to consider. Alison: I can imagine quitting smoking wasn't easy. But you made the right choice. Good for you.17. Why hadn't Brent intended to give up smoking?18. What is the main reason of death for children under the age of five according to a report ?19. Why did Brent say tobacco smoke is a silent killer?20. What does third-hand smoke mean according to the conversation?02.崇明区I. Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

But the pills you gave me are making me sleepy.Q: What is most probably the man’s job?2. M: I’d like to open a savings account.W: Sure.

But, by far, the biggest problem is the growing number of visitors to the city. So city officials have made a plan to require all visitors to pay a fee to enter Venice. The money will help to pay for cleaning and other services that help to keep the city beautiful. Overnight tourists already pay a tax that is added to the cost of their hotel stay. The new fee will be required of tourists who come to the city for a few hours or for one day.The fee process will be experimental at first. The money will be collected by transport companies that bring the tourists to Venice. The city will set up cameras for individuals arriving in private cars. And there will be fines for those who do not pay the fee. Students, some workers and children under the age of six will not have to pay. Naturally, anyone born or living in Venic e don’t need to pay, either.Some people living in Venice say they do not believe the fee plan will work. Venice is an island and visitors arrive from all sides. They think it will be impossible to collect the money from everyone who visits the city and disapprove of the plan. Others, however, like the idea. They say it will make tourism “less aggressive”.(Now listen again, please)Questions:11. What is Venice’s plan mainly about?12. Why does Venice make such a plan?13. Why don’t some people in Venice think the plan will work?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In the United States, multi-player video games are becoming a big business. More and more colleges and universities are creating e-sports programs. Some colleges are even offering top players scholarships. But most of those scholarships have been going to male players.To try to change things, a former U.S. Department of Education official, J Collins, has helped an all-girls school launch an e-sports program and says the goal is for different kinds of people to play e-games and earn e-sports scholarships.Since leaving the Education Department, Collins has been teaching at an all-girls school. Collins compares the path for girls in e-sports to the one facing girls and gender minorities in science, technology, engineering and math—the subject grouping called STEM. Many girls begin to avoid STEM-related subjects around middle school. Possible reasons include “lack of role models, culture and generally feeling like they don’t fit in in that world”, Collins said.Collins helped organize a league for e-sports teams from 10 schools in the area. The players are a mix of students from urban and rural areas, wealthier and poorer families. At least one of the schools is only for girls.In order to appeal to a wide range of students, the league chose three games for the competitions. Collins says game choice is important if schools want to reach more than just male students.(Now listen again, please)Questions:14. Why does J Collins help an all-girls school launch an e-sports program?15. According to J Collins, which of the following may be a reason for many girls to avoid e-sports?16. According to J Collins, to reach the goal of the league for e-sports, what is important?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hey, Jimmy. Have you started planning your vacation yet?M: Yes! I am going to drive to Florida.W: Sounds like fun. Wait! Did you say you’re going to drive?M: Of course. Plane tickets are really expensive in the summer. Besides, road trips are fun!W: But you’ll end up too tired to enjoy your vacation. Are you sure you don’t want to fly?M: Positive. I already set my vacation budget, and plane tickets aren’t part of it.W: You could just charge everything to your credit card.M: I don’t want to go into debt.W: It’s not that big of a deal. That’s how I’m paying for my ship tour to the Bahamas.M: But being in debt is terrible.W: That doesn’t have to be so. You just need to have a plan to pay it off.M: Of course. But you have to pay a high interest rate. Your vacation will end up being even more expensive.W: Well, I still have a budget. As long as my monthly payments are manageable, I can have a great vacation.M: I’d rather pay for my vacation with the money I’ve saved.W: But your time is valuable, too. I’m flying to Florida and boarding the ship the same day. I’d rather spend my time enjoying my vacation, not sitting in a car.M: I don’t mind the drive. I can listen to audiobooks and enjoy the change of scenery.(Now listen again, please)Questions:17. What are the two speakers mainly discussing?18. How will the woman go to Florida?19. What is one of the advantages of driving to Florida according to the man?20. What can be concluded from the conversation?That’s the end of the listening comprehension.03.奉贤区I.

With fewer employees (22)________ (ask) to accomplish more in a day, many Americans treat lunch not as a break but as just another task to squeeze into an already over-booked day.But do quick meals at the desk actually improve productivity over more leisurely meals?The researchers only studied 32 employees, so the findings are debatable. But when they assigned one group to eat at their desks and another to dine with a colleague at a restaurant, they found those who ate lunch together showed a decline (23)________ their performance on tests hat measured concentration, memory and the ability to catch errors and read emotions in facial expressions following lunch than before lunch. Both groups ate the same meals, but those who ate their food alone were only given 20 minutes to consume their food, (24)________ the paired participants were allowed one hour in the restaurant. Those who ate alone did not have as large a drop in their cognitive processing as those who ate in the restaurant.What was responsible for the change? There were too many variables at play to determine which had the strongest influence on cognitive control--was it the companionship or the restaurant environment (25)________ other dinners were present, music was played and themeal was served by wait staff, or was it the longer time to enjoy the meal?(26)________ factor was responsible, the group that took a restaurant lunch break came back more relaxed, say the authors, and that likely affected their cognitive sharpness.

This goes against the idea most people hold that as we age, environmental influences gradually overpower the genetic legacy (财产) we are born with and may have (31)________ for education"“People assume the genetic influence goes down with age because the environmental differences between people pile up in life," says Robert Plomin. “What we found was quite (32)________and goes in the other direction.”Previous studies have shown variations in intelligence are (33)________ due to genetics. To find out whether this genetic contribution varies with age, Plomin's team gathered data from six separate studies carried out in 4 countries, (34)________ a total of 1100 pairs of twins. 'The researchers tested twins on reasoning, arithmetics etc. to measure a quantity called "G". Each study also included both identical twins, with the same genes, and fraternal twins(异卵双生), sharing about half their genes, making it possible to (35)________ the contributions of genes and environment to their G scores.Plomin's team calculated in childhood, genes account for about 41 percent of the variations in intelligence. In adolescence, this rose to 55 percent;, by young adolescence, it was 66 percentNO one (36)________ knows why the influence from genes should increase with age, but Plomin suggests that as children get older, they become better at handling their environment to suit their genetic needs, and says “kids with with high G will use their environment to develop cognitive ability and choose friends who are like-minded. Children with (37)________ to low G may choose less challenging pastimes and activities, further emphasizing their genetic legacy.Is there any way to interfere with the pattern? Perhaps. The evidence of strong heritability (遗传可能性) doesn’t mean that there is nothing you can do about it." says Susanne Jaeggi, “from our own work, the ones that started off with lower IQ scores had higher(38)________ training. Plomin suggests genetic differences may be more emphasized if all children share an identical curriculum instead of it being (39)________ to children's natural abilities. My tendency would be to give everyone a good education, but put more effort into the lower end." he says. Intelligence researchers Paul Thompson agrees: It shows. that educators need to (40)________ ads towards things drawing out their natural talents.Ш.

Historically, scientists have (44)________ sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work, until recently, good databases did not exist: grant funders were not pushing for sharing; it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data, and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.But the (45)________ are disappearing in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data (46)________.Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to.

My marks ín school were miserable and, the thing was, 1 didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a humble house in Detroit. We watched TV every night.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned--books. So she came home one day, snapped of the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves, . You boys are going to read two books every week, " she said. " And you're going to write a report on what you read."We complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: " I'll drive you to the library.'So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers.

Technology powerhouse Google today announced it would spend "tens of millions" of dollars next year in research and development and investments in an effort to drive down the cost of large-scale renewable energy to make it cheaper than coal. Not only will Google be hiring engineers and energy experts for its new initiative, known as RE<C (renewable energy at less cost than coal), but it also will make investments in fledgling companies—starting with those that focus on solar-thermal technology, enhanced geothermal, and high-altitude wind power."Cheap renewable energy is not only critical for the environment but also vital for economic development in many places where there is limited affordable energy of any kind," said Sergey Brin, Google co-founder and president of technology, in a prepared statement.Coal supplies 40 percent of the world's electricity and more than half of U.S. power, and if current trends continue, it is expected to grab an ever increasing share because it is a plentiful and cheap fuel for big consumers like the United States and Russia. But coal is also the worst fuel in its production of the global warming gas carbon dioxide. Google co-founder Larry Page said the company's goal is to produce one gigawatt(十亿瓦特) of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal within "years, not decades." Google says that's enough electricity to power a city the size of San Francisco (about 330,000 households) .Google, located in Mountain View, Calif., said it was initially working with two other California companies. They are eSolar, of Pasadena, which is specializing in solar-thermal power, using large fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight and generate steam to run utility-scale electric turbines (涡轮), and Makani of Alameda, which is developing wind energy technology that takes advantage of the much stronger and more reliable currents available at high altitudes.Google did not specify how much money it was putting into its projects with these companies but said they both had “promising scalable energy technology”. This portion of the initiative will be funded through the company's' philanthropic arm, , which is not a traditional chanty but can make equity (股票) investments in companies Brin and Page have pledged (抵押) 1 percent of Google's equity and profits toward efforts including climate change and global poverty.The RE<C program is the least of a series of steps Google has taken on climate change. The company say it is on track in its goal to be carbon neural in the near future.63. Which one of the following statements is TRUE of the coal?A. It is a kind of controversial fuel given its large quantity and its harm to the environmentB. It is plentiful and cheap fuel hat will surely earn more market share.C. It will be totally replaced by the renewable energy in years because it produces the worstgas-carbon dioxide,D. It is supported by some enthusiastic countries like US and Russia which rely heavily on thecoal64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. has made some crucial decisions in expanding the companyB. has focused on exploiting alternatives to traditional energyC. Google. org is a charity organization committed to funding the projects benefiting mankindD. is an environmental organization that specializes in promoting green fuel65. What can Not be learned about the RE<C Programme?A It will come true in a few years with the efforts made.B. It is a programme of environmental protectionC. It is one of the measures taken to neutralize carbonD. It will be realized through investments in solar and, wind energy companies.66. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Google's RE<C ProgrammeB. Google, the Energy RevolutionaryC. Google, the Environmental ProtectorD. Google's Renewable Energy ProjectSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Venice CarnivalThe annual Venice Carnival is in full swing, with thousands of revelers (狂欢者) gathering the city's canals and squares in elaborate costumes and extraordinary masks.(67)____________The Carnevale di Venezia is thought to date back to the 11th century, making it one of the world’s oldest. Carnivals are held in many Catholic countries, such as Spain and Brazil, where they serve as a last chance to eat, drink and be merry before the deprivations of Lent, the 40 days of fasting（斋戒）that precede Easter.It is thought that the masks allowed Venetians to hide their identities, allowing the poor to mix with the wealthy, breaking strict social order, even if only for a brief and controlled period.(68) ___________ The theme of Carnival 2019 is “Tutta colpa della Luna,”or “Blame the moon,” marking a half-century since man first walked on the satellite.To prevent overcrowding, authorities have installed turnstiles at the entrances to the historic St. Marks’ Square, closing it off to new visitors once 23,000 revelers have entered. Costumed revelers are also searched as they enter the square.Venice is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. (69)___________ The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Although most visitors stick to the traditional Carnival costumes of baroque gowns and bejeweled masks for women and black capes and threatening masks for men, more and more people are opting for their own unique interpretations.Some visitors use Carnival as an opportunity to show off a fantastic creation they've always dreamed of wearing. It doesn't have to be Venetian. (70) ____________ At Carnival, everybody is free to be who--or what--they want to be. Perhaps a different gender-- or even species. That's the joy of the mask--nobody knows who or what the person wearing it was beforeCarnival.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following pas Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible71. Gardening can have many positive effects on your physical and mental health. Whether you’re growing fruit and veggies, flowers or succulents, getting your green thumb on can have a surprising number of health benefits for you and your family.Depending on the size of your garden, maintaining it can be a great way to be physically active. This could be as tough as mowing the lawn, or as gentle as getting a good stretch and practice stabilizing yourself while kneeling, sitting or reaching. In fact, gardening is a recommended activity as it can encourage the use of many motor skills, improve endurance and strength and keep you moving.These days, we can buy pretty much any fruit and vegetable we want from the supermarket, at any time of year. But gardening enables us to eat seasonally, which has important benefits for our bodies. For example, asparagus and apricots grow in spring and summer, while Brussels sprouts get going in winter. Eating seasonally can keep healthy eating exciting by encouraging you to try new recipes using in-season produce. You will also get a wider variety of different coloured produce, providing nutritious vitamins and minerals in your diet throughout the year as the produce you eat changes with the seasons.Gardening is also a great way to relax, providing opportunities to still the mind and get away from the busyness of everyday life. There is even evidence to suggest that gardening can help ease symptoms of mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. Whether you’re gardening by yourself, or getting the whole family involved, it’s a great way to spend some time outdoors, aw ay from screens and to-do lists, and engage with nature. From repetitive tasks like weeding that provide opportunities for meditation, to practising patience while waiting for plants to grow, gardening is a great exercise for your mind as well as your body.V.

2020上海青浦高三一模英语听力全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2020 Shanghai Qingpu High School Listening TestHey there! I'm going to tell you all about the big English listening test I had to take last year when I was in 3rd grade. It was called the 2020 Shanghai Qingpu High School English Listening Comprehension Test. I know, I know, it sounds really fancy and grown-up for a kid like me. But my teacher said it was super important to get us ready for all the English we'll need to know later on.I was kind of nervous about it at first because English is hard sometimes with all the weird sounds and phrases. In Chinese everything makes sense, but English has so many silly rules that don't follow any logic. But my teacher Mrs. Wang helped us practice a bunch so I felt more ready.On the day of the test, we had to go into the language lab with our headphones and little desks. The recording played all these different conversations and scenarios. We had to listenreally carefully and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard.Some of it was pretty easy, like when they played a conversation between two kids deciding what game to play at recess. Duh, I already know all about that stuff! The hard parts were when they played things with tough vocabulary words I didn't know or when the people were talking really fast. My ears couldn't keep up!I remember one weird section was a news report about some science experiment. They used all these big biology words I've never heard of. How am I supposed to know what a "lithium ion battery" is? I just had to make my best guess based on the context clues.Another tricky one was when they played a argument between a mom and dad about financial stuff like bills, budgets, and investments. As a kid, I don't really deal with money too much besides my small allowance. It was hard to concentrate on all the numbers and they were discussing.By the end, my brain felt like mush from having to focus so hard on understanding everything. A few of the questions I just had to randomly pick an answer because I spaced out for a second. Listening comprehension is no joke!Overall though, I don't think I did too bad on the test. English is definitely my worst subject compared to math and science. But at least this helped get me ready for all the English I'll need to use when I get to college and whatever career I have one day.I just hope I don't have to take too many more giant tests like that anytime soon. It was a lot of pressure for a little kid! But I'm proud of myself for trying my best. Maybe next year it will be even easier since I'm getting used to understanding more English. Wish me luck!篇2My Big English Test AdventureHi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the big English listening test I had to take a few weeks ago. It was like nothing I've ever done before!It all started when my teacher Mrs. Wang told our class that we were going to have a practice exam, just like the big kids in high school. She said it would help get us ready for the real English tests we'll have to take when we're older. I was a little nervous, but also excited to try something new and different.A few days before the test, Mrs. Wang gave us some tips on how to prepare. She said we needed to practice listening to English speakers with different accents, not just audios from our textbooks. She also told us to get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on test day. I did just that - I had some congee with eggs and veggies to fuel my brain!Finally, test day arrived. We had to go to the big auditorium instead of our normal classroom. There were tables set up everywhere with little partitions around them so nobody could cheat. It felt just like the testing rooms I've seen in movies! After we all found our assigned seats, the teachers gave us instructions and started passing out the test booklets.The first section was pictures. An English voice would describe something, and we had to circle the picture it matched from several options. That part wasn't too hard since we'd practiced similar exercises many times. But then came the conversations - spontaneous back-and-forth dialogues between two people. Those were trickier to follow along with!About halfway through, we took a short break. I used that time to stretch my legs, use the bathroom, and have a sip of water. I did some deep breathing exercises too, just like Mrs.Wang taught us, to re-focus my mind. Then it was back to the auditorium for the second half.There were some longer passages now, like excerpts from novels or documentaries. The narrator would read, then we had to answer comprehension questions about the main ideas, details, and inferences. My brain got a little tired by the end from concentrating so hard! But I kept pushing myself to give it my all.After what felt like forever, the teachers finally called time and we turned in our test booklets. I felt relieved to have it over with, but also proud for toughing it out. On the way home, my friends and I compared which parts were hardest for each of us. Even though it was just practice, we all agreed the test made us better prepared for the real deal someday.Over the next week, Mrs. Wang went over the test questions and answers with us. I didn't get a perfect score, but I did pretty well overall. More importantly, I learned some good strategies, like listening for keyword transitions ("however," "for example," etc.) and making educated guesses if I got stuck. The whole experience showed me that with focus and effort, I can take on any challenge - even a decades-old high school exam!So there you have it, my big adventure with the high school English listening mock test. It was intense but rewarding. I'm gladI pushed myself outside my comfort zone because it's only going to make me stronger. Who knows, maybe I'll become an amazing polyglot interpreter when I grow up! But for now, I've got plenty of English studying and practice ahead. Wish me luck!篇3My Adventure in the Shanghai Qingpu High School First Mock English Listening TestHi everyone! My name is Lily, and I want to tell you about the big adventure I had recently. Guess what? I got to take the Shanghai Qingpu High School first mock English listening test! It was super exciting and a bit scary too. Let me share all the details with you.So, one sunny morning, I woke up early and put on my lucky T-shirt with a picture of a cute panda. I had been preparing for this test for weeks, listening to English songs and practicing with my mom and dad. They are the best! They always help me with my homework and encourage me to do my best.When we arrived at the high school, there were so many students gathered in the exam hall. The atmosphere was intense, but I tried to stay calm. I found a seat next to my friend Amy, and we wished each other good luck. We were ready to rock the test!The teacher gave us the question papers and explained the instructions in a clear voice. She told us to listen carefully to each recording and choose the correct answers. There were different sections, like short conversations, long conversations, and even a story. I was a bit nervous, but I knew I could do it!As the test began, I put on my headphones and focused on the first recording. It was a conversation between two friends planning a trip. I listened carefully and answered the questions. Some were easy, but a few were tricky. I had to trust my instincts and go with the answers that felt right.The next section was a long conversation between a student and a teacher discussing a school project. The teacher talked really fast, but I tried my best to catch every word. I was proud of myself when I answered all the questions correctly. Yay!Then came the most exciting part of the test—a story! It was about a boy who found a magical book that could transport him to different places. Wow, I wish I had a book like that! The story was so interesting that I forgot I was in an exam. I followed the story closely and answered the questions happily.After what felt like forever, the listening test finally ended. I let out a big sigh of relief. Amy and I high-fived each other, proud of our accomplishments. We did it!The test was challenging, but it was also a great learning experience. It taught me the importance of listening carefully and trusting myself. I realized that with practice and determination, I can achieve anything I set my mind to.Now, I'm eagerly waiting for the results. I hope I did well and made my parents proud. No matter what the outcome, I know I gave it my all. Taking the Shanghai Qingpu High School first mock English listening test was an adventure I will never forget!So, that's the story of my big adventure in the Shanghai Qingpu High School first mock English listening test. It was an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, but I enjoyed every moment of it. Remember, my friends, always believe in yourself and never be afraid to take on new challenges. You can do it too!篇4The 2020 English Listening Exam? Yeesh, What a Day That Was!Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 5th grade at Qingpu Elementary School. I have to tell you all about this crazy English listening exam I had to take last year when I was in 4th grade. It was sooo hard but I'll do my best to explain what happened!So it all started when my English teacher Mrs. Wang told our class that we were going to have to take this big important English listening test. She said it was just like the exam that all the high school students take, but we were getting a sneak peek in 4th grade. I couldn't believe it! A high school test? For us little kids? I was really nervous.Mrs. Wang tried to calm us down by saying "Now now children, don't be scared. This is just practice for when you're older. Just try your best!" But I could see lots of my classmates looking really worried. Luckily, my best friend Jingjing isn't afraid of anything, so at least I had her by my side.In the weeks leading up to the test, we did sooo much practice in class. Mrs. Wang would play these recordings of people talking in English and we'd have to answer questions about what they said. The recordings were about all kinds of topics - the news, stories, conversations between people. Some of them I could understand pretty well, but other times I was just completely lost!Jingjing and I worked really hard though, studying together after school. My mom even bought me these English learning videos that were supposed to help with listening skills. I musthave watched them a million times! Slowly but surely, I started getting better at picking out key words and phrases.Then finally, the day of the test arrived. We all had to go to the big auditorium where they set up desks in rows like a real exam room. I've never seen so many no. 2 pencils in one place! When I walked in and saw how huge the room was and how many other students were there, I almost wanted to run away. But Jingjing grabbed my hand and said "We got this Xiaoming, no need to be scared!"The test instructions were pretty straightforward - we'd hear recordings through headphones and have to bubble in our answers on a scantron sheet. But man, those recordings were brutal! The first one was about some students ordering food at a restaurant. There were all these different accents - American, British, Australian. By the time I finally figured out they were talking about burgers, the recording had already moved on to a different topic.Later on there was this super speed talker narrating a story about a girl running a lemonade stand. I literally only understood like every third word she was saying! How was I supposed to keep up? I started sweating bullets.There were a few lighter moments during the exam at least. Like when they played this recording of these two friends arguing about whether they should go to the park or the movies. As soon as I heard the squabbling voices, I knew exactly what they were talking about. Jingjing and I have dumb fights over little stuff like that all the time!After what felt like forever, they finally played the last recording. I was so relieved, but also just completely drained. My brain felt like mush! As soon as I bubbled in the final answer, I put my head on the desk waiting for the whole thing to be over.When the teacher finally called time, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. All the other kids looked just as exhausted as me. I found Jingjing and we both just started laughing at how crazy that test was. We didn't even care about the scores at that point, we were just happy it was done!A couple weeks later though, Mrs. Wang posted our grades. I'll be honest, I didn't do too hot - got around 50% of the questions right. Not terrrible considering it was a high school level test, but not great either. Jingjing being the smartypants that she is managed to score in the 80s! I was so jealous.So yeah, that's the whole wild story about the time my 4th grade class had to take an English listening exam way toodifficult for our age. I'm just glad it was only practice and didn't actually count for anything! Not sure I would've survived having to do that every year.At least it got me nice and prepared for all the listening I'll have to do in middle school and high school. Although to be honest, part of me is hoping they'll go a little easier on us by then. But hey, no pain no gain right? Improving my English listening is going to be super important if I want to become the international businessman I dream of being one day.Tests like these are just another step on the road to success!Anyways, that's my tale. Hopefully it didn't put you to sleep! Let me know if you ever get forced to take a crazy difficult test like that. Although honestly, after living through it once, I don't plan on doing it again anytime soon. No thank you!篇5My Name is Sammy and I'm in 5th Grade! Today I want to tell you all about this really hard listening test I had to take. It was called the 2020 Shanghai Qingpu High School Senior One Mock Exam English Listening Test. I know it sounds super difficult, but my teacher said I had to take it to get ready for middle school next year.The test was all in English, which is my second language. I'm still learning English, so a lot of the words and sentences were really tricky for me. I had to listen super carefully to all the speakers. There were conversations between two people, talks by one person, and even some radio shows and announcements! My ears were working so hard.One of the conversation parts was about two friends making plans to go somewhere over the weekend. The boy wanted to go to a new exhibit at the science museum, but the girl didn't want to because she had already seen it. Then they taked about maybe going to a movie instead. It was difficult because they were using a lot of informal vocabulary like "hanging out" that I wasn't familiar with.Another section had a lady giving a speech about protecting endangered animal species. She used some really big vocabulary words thatI had never heard before. Words like "conservation" and "biodiversity." She talked about different animals that are going extinct and what people can do to help save them. I tried my best to understand, but a lot of it went over my head.The radio show portion was crazy! It was two deejays talking back and forth really fast with crazy jokes and sound effects. They were using slang words and idioms that I definitely didn'tknow. Like when one guy said "that's lit" or "it slaps" about some new song. How is music supposed to slap you?? I was so lost during that part.There were also just random individual speakers giving instructions, leaving voicemails, or making announcements. One groovy dude's voice even sounded like he was a hippie from the 1960s! He was giving directions but used weird sayings like "make a left at the groovy music shop." I zoned out for a bit during that because he was just too distracting.Overall, I found the whole listening test incredibly difficult. I had to concentrate super hard the whole time to catch the key details and information. Thankfully, we went over test-taking strategies ahead of time about predicting content and making inferences based on context clues. That helped a little bit when I couldn't understand every single word.By the end, my brain was melting from trying so hard to comprehend everything! I just zoned out during the final section about the history of the English language. I had used up all my energy focusing during the other parts. I really hope I did okay though because this listening test is definitely going to help get me ready for the long listening portions I'll have next year when I'm in middle school. Wish me luck!篇6The 2020 Qingpu Listening ExamHi! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Something really funny happened when my older brother Tony took the big English listening exam a few years ago. He had to study super hard for it because it was a really important test. My brother is pretty smart, but listening is not his best subject in English class.A few weeks before the test, my mom started getting Tony ready. She made him practice listening every night after dinner. First, they would turn off the TV and any music that was playing. Then my mom would read passages out loud from Tony's English books. After each one, she would ask Tony questions to see if he understood what she said. In the beginning, Tony kept getting a lot of the answers wrong. His listening wasn't very good.My mom could see Tony was struggling, so she got some ideas to make it more fun for practice. Sometimes she would put on a crazy accent like she was from England or Australia and read with a really exaggerated voice. Other times, she would turn it into a game and read the passage quickly or quietly to make it harder for Tony to understand. He had to really concentrate.As it got closer to the big test day, my mom added even more challenges. Once, she stuffed her mouth full of marshmallows while she read so her words were all muffled and jumbled up. Another time, she closed the door to the living room and read from the other side so Tony could barely hear her through the wall. My brother started to get really frustrated with all her silly games. But I thought it was hilarious watching them.The night before the listening exam, my dad took Tony out to his favorite restaurant for a big meal to celebrate all his hard work. My brother wolfed down plates of dumplings, noodles, and shrimp fried rice. He needed lots of energy for the test day. When Tony slept that night, he dreamed about listening to a teacher with a mouth stuffed full of rice!Finally, the morning of the exam arrived. My mom made Tony a huge breakfast to give him even more energy - stacks of pancakes, eggs, sausages, and fried potatoes. After he was done eating, my mom surprised him with one final challenge. She took a big piece of tape and put it over Tony's mouth! Then she started reading a practice passage for listening as fast as she could. Tony had to concentrate so hard to understand with his mouth taped shut and his mom's rushed words. Just before we left for the test site, my mom dramatic ally ripped the tape offTony's face. "Time to show what you've learned!" she said with a wink.At the exam site, there were students of all ages taking different tests. My brother said there were kids there frompre-school all the way up to university students. He looked around nervously at all the other test takers before being led into the listening room. The rules för the listening portion were very strict. No talking, no cellphones, and absolutely no bathroom breaks were allowed. I'm so glad I didn't have to take the test!When the exam began, the listening instructions were played over a loudspeaker. First there were examples read slowly and clearly. Piece of cake, Tony told me later. But then the real passages started, and everything changed. The voices on the recording sounded weirdand muffled, like the speaker had a mouth stuffed full of marshmallows! The readers alternated between talking extremely fast, deadly slow, or with heavy accents. Every weird scenario my mom had practiced with Tony happened on this actual listening test.At one point in the middle, there were sounds playing in the background like a barking dog and slamming doors. Another time the volume suddenly got very quiet, like the reader had closed the door and walked across the room. Tony said it wasexactly like all the crazy practice games my mom made him do. He felt totally prepared.After the last passage, the listening exam was finally over. Tony felt confident that he got a great score thanks to my mom's creative practice routines. On the way out of the exam room, one of the other students looked really confused. "That listening section was insane!" the kid told my brother. "The voices sounded so strange and weird, with accents and noises everywhere. How was anyone supposed to understand any of that?" My brother just smiled and said "The exam was a piece of cake for me. My mom's practice had me 100% ready for anything!"So that's the story of how my mom helped get Tony prepared for his big high school listening exam a few years ago. She was pretty silly and made some funny games for practice. But it really worked! Tony did awesome on the listening part thanks to my mom thinking of creative ways to challenge him. Who knows what kind of funny practice I'll have to do when it's my turn to take that crazy English listening test in a few years? Maybe my mom will make ME keep a bunch of marshmallows stuffed in MY mouth while she reads! Hahaha, I sure hope not. That would be so gross!。

Endless homework and exams seem to be a heavy burden and take away the happiness during puberty. However, if they are able to manage their time well, things will be different. Time management is a skill that few teenagers have. But it is the one that most teenagers need. Although time can’t be slowed down or sped up or manufactured, teenagers can manage it by themselves. Here are some basic ways oftime management, first, teenagers can find out the “Best Time” for study. A person usually has different power of concentration at different times. Someone might find himself a “morning person” while others might be “ night owls”. So it will be more efficient for a teenager to use his “ best time” for study and other time for routines such as baths or chores. Second, teenagers can study difficult subjects first. The more difficult a subject is , the more effort and energy it will require. When difficult subjects are finished it will be much easier to finish the simple ones. Third, teenagers can make time for entertainment, entertainment helps teenagers reduce their anxiety and stress, which will in turn improve their study. 1, What are two of the ways of time management for teenagers?First, to find out the best time for study. Second ,to study difficult subjects first. / They can study difficult subjects first and make time for entertainment. / Teenagers can find out the best time for study and make time for entertainment.2, What do you often do for entertainment?on weekdays, I often do some reading for entertainment.
