Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will __40__ fly as high.” I’m sure that T.J.

Reading:)(30%)(A)Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school or at university. Which one did you like best? And Why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in you opinion? Before you read any further, consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding(出色).Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devote themselves completely to their jobs. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent(程度)but they are perhaps a little too simple.It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them as people and in the development of both their characters. A deep knowledge on to the students effectively-a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class, and so on. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, they are also models that their students must follow; so it is important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work-family, friends, hobbies, etc. A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow-minded.50. The writer suggests that you think about your teachers at school or university so that_______A. you may remember them betterB. you may select outstanding teachersC. you may learn from outstanding teachersD. you may know the qualities for outstanding teachers51. The writer does not consider it possible for a teacher_______A. to love all the students he has taughtB. to be an example for his students to followC. to have a good command of the subjects he teachesD. to pass the knowledge on to his students effectively52. In the sentence “…teachers should certainly be able to make their stud ents feel that they are interested in them as people …” in the third paragraph, “they” and “them” refers respectively to __________.A. teachers and teachersB. students and teachersC. teachers and studentsD. students and students53. It can be concluded from the passage that_______.A. even if a teacher has a good knowledge of his subjects, he cannot be a good teacher if he doesn’t have the ability to pass that knowledge on to his students.B. it is unnecessary for teachers to spend much time and energy on their work if they do have an expert knowledge of their subjectsC. teachers should be trained to love all of their students they are teaching or have taughtD. most teachers are born with such skills as how to explain an idea clearly(B)In 1974, the price of petrol in Britain rose by 120 percent; cars became expensive to run and train and bus fares increased.People who hadn't used a bicycle since they were children decided that they would buy bicycles.They discovered that cycling could be enjoyable and cheap.Bicycle sales had been falling for many years but suddenly everything changed.In 1975, British people spent more than one million on bicycles.Bicycle traffic increased by 11 percent.Bicycle fans compare the cost of running a car with the cost of running a bicycle.They also say bicycle-riding is a good form of exercise.In towns bicycles can often be faster than cars or buses.The bicyclists can ride through traffic jams and at the end of his journey he doesn't have to look for a parking space.Cycling through the countryside is a real pleasure; the cyclist has time to see things that the motorist, driving at over 100 kilometers an hour, never sees.But in the cities, cycling can be dangerous.You need good concentration(专心)and strong nerves, especially when a truck or a bus is trying to pass you.Since cycling became popular again, there has been an increase in the number of accidents.Cyclists say the answer to the problem is to separate bicycles from other traffic.Stevenage, a new town near London, has a system of “bikeways”, where only bicycles are allowed to travel.However, in most towns, cyclists say, the needs of the bicycle riders are overlooked.Cyclists have formed into “action groups” in many towns in Britain.They want to persuade local councils-who are in charge of the roads and traffic in theirareas-to make sure there are safe facilities(设施)for cyclists.Or, they say, interest in cycling will die.54.Today the Britain want to ride bikes because _________.A.trains and buses are too crowded.B.the cost of riding bikes is much cheaper than that of taking trains or buses.C.there are a lot of thieves on the trains or in the buses.D.the traffic accidents easily happen while people go to work by train or by bus.55. What is special about traffic in Britain today?A. More and more people ride bikesB. More and more people like to take trainsC. Taking trains is much safer than taking buses.D. No people like to take buses.56. The main reason for so many peo ple’s riding bikes in England is that _______.A. bike-riding does good to peopleB. a bike is easy to take care ofC. a bike is much cheaper than a carD. there is no need of a parking place for a bike57. Riding bikes has many strong points, but when it becomes popular _______.A. a lot of bikes will be crowded in the public places.B. there will easily be more and more traffic accidentsC. fewer and fewer people will take a train.D. a lot of bus-drivers and trainmen are out of work(C)I looked at the evening sun from my hospital room. They had given me all their tests and still they didn’t realize how wrong they are. They said I had a malignant(恶性的), inoperable tumor(肿瘤), about the size of a softball between my left lung and breast bone. Obviously, this couldn’t be. I was only 67, at the start of the golden years. Yet, they said, the thing had been quietly growing inside my chest for a year or more.Next, they asked questions about my family history, my illness, and operations. Then came the big one: Did I smoke? For how long? I had never added it up before. From a start at age 17, I had been smoking averaging a carton(条)a week. That habit, most doctors agree, is the cause of some 80 percent of lung cancer. “We think we can give some time. However, in your case there is no cure.” Dr. Robert Putuys said kindly. With my family’s longevity record. I shall live into my 80’s.But now I was told to have about a 50/50 chance of making it six months. Fifteen years lost. Each of my 520,000 cigarettes cost me more than 15 minutes of life, each carton more than two days. I would have to kick the habit.My cigarettes lay on the bedside table. they were always ready to be companion During college stress, wartime anxiety, complicated family situations and career pressure, I had turned to them for relief. But now. I realized with surprise, they meant nothing to me. So don’t be discouraged f you’re a smoker. Keep on smoking, enjoy it. You’ll break the habit easily if you get cancer. And you will stop it, friend, you surely will.58. In the sentence “I had never added it up before”, “It” refer to _______.A. the number of cigarettesB. the question asked by doctorsC. the time of his smoking experienceD. the disease he suffered from before59. According to the passage, Dr. Robert Putuys implies that ________.A. there’s no hope for the writer to recover from his cancerB. other patients with this disease might live longerC. since his cancer is caused by smoking, they will do nothing about it.D. the doctor will leave him some time to give up smoking60. The tone of the writer in the last paragraph is being _________.A. happy and carefreeB. sad and humorousC. nervous and anxiousD. painful and desperate61. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A.since the writer has enjoyed smoking for so long, he can never give if upB.most of heavy smokers like the writer will suffer from lung cancer sooner or laterC.the writer is determined to give up smoking once he is out of hospital.D.the writer suggests you enjoy smoking while you are young for cigarettes can be your best.(D)The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye. In the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Cole man is black. He spent 11 years with IBM; half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant, to the likes of AT & Coca-Cola. Prudential and Merch Coleman says that based on what he' s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image 30%; and exposure, a full 60%.Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won' t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who like Coleman feel that the scales (障眼物)have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you'll get a head--that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She adds, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they' ye gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility(能见度)." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.(聚光灯照明圈)62.To achieve success in your career,the most important factor, according to the passage, is to_______. A.let your superiors know how good you areB.show a favorable image to the people around youC.work as a consultant to your superiorsD.perform well your tasks given by your superiors63.The reason why women and blacks play down their visibility is that they________.A.know that someone in authority will reach down and give them a promotionB.don't want people to think that their promotions are due to sex or colorC.don't want to give people the impression that they work under false beliefsD.believe they can get promoted by reason of their sex or color64.The best title for this passage would be________.A.Role of Women and Minorities in ManagementB.The Importance of Being VisibleC.Job Performance and AdvancementD.Sex and Career Success第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.Tenses (10%)1.Our school soccer team __________ (win) every match so far this year, but they still have three more games to play.2.we won’t go for a picnic if it __________ (rain) tomorrow.3.Once __________ (ask) in the classroom, you should stand up and answer the teacher’s questions.4.His father __________ (tell) that he was not allowed to park his car on the playground.5.Don’t let those who are not ol d enough __________ (enter) the game room.6.Something has __________ (do) to stop the tough guys bullying the small boys.7.I am considering __________ (make) a new plan for our trip.8.The theory __________ (prove) to us that earthquakes can be forecast.9.I tried my best to do what I could __T________ (help) those poor people.10.I’ve never thought that the silk __________ (sell) so well especially in the West.Ⅱ.

融会贯串是一种传统的教学方式,在我国有悠久的历史。但随着素质教育的展开,融会贯串被作为一种僵化的、阻碍先生才干开展的教学方式,渐渐为人们所摒弃;而另一方面,教员们又为提高先生的语文素养煞费苦心。其实,只需运用妥当,〝融会贯串〞与提高先生素质并不矛盾。相反,它恰是提高先生语文水平的重要前提和基础。56.is57.how58.them59.towards60.thankful
唐宋或更早之前,针对〝经学〞〝律学〞〝算学〞和〝书学〞各科目,其相应教授者称为〝博士〞,这与当今〝博士〞含义曾经相去甚远。而对那些特别讲授〝武事〞或解说〝经籍〞者,又称〝讲师〞。〝教授〞和〝助教〞均原为学官称谓。前者始于宋,乃〝时代即已设立了,主要协助国子、博士培育生徒。〝助教〞在现代不只要作入流的学问,其教书育人的职责也十分明晰。唐代国子学、太学等所设之〝助教〞一席,也是当朝打眼的学官。至明清两代,只设国子监〔国子学〕一科的〝助教〞,其身价不谓显赫,也称得上朝廷要员。至此,无论是〝博士〞〝讲师〞,还是〝教授〞〝助教〞,其昔日教员应具有的基本概念都具有了。66.head→headed67.book→books68.to→for69.quick→quickly70.someone后加who

But ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. The American had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school.And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to ForbesMagazine.Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.49, Which of the following questions has not been discussed in the text?A. How do other people view Buffett?B. What is Buffett9s way to invest?C. How has Buffett dealt with difficulties m his life?D. How did Buffett make money and realize his dream50. With the example of delivering two rival papers in high school the author intends to tell us that Buffett_____A. was a good paper boyB. had a good sense of businessC. was working hard to deal with difficulties in businessD. knew little about how td. make money51. What did Buffett learn from his early experience of inventing in stock market?A, Be patient in business. B. Never stop learningC, Only buy stocks of solid companies that are undervalued and inexpensiveD. Stick tp buying stocks in companies such as Amferican Express and CocaTCola.52. Which of the following best describes Buffett?A. Wise, friendly and generous. . B, Outgoing, positive and practical.C;Energetic, traditional and confident. D. Smart, creative and ambitious.Keys:CBADBHere are some interesting customs from wedding ceremonies around the world.Jamaican ceremoniesIn Jamaican, the entire village often come together to help plan the big day.Women wear the white wedding dress, and men wear a special wedding shirt for the event.Several cakes are baked for the ceremmony, and on the wedding day, married women wearing white dresses carry the cake to the wedding.Islamic (穆斯林的)ceremoniesMany Muslims hold multi-day celebrations in honour of the wedding.The bride and groom are separated at the wedding.The pastor asks the man and woman separately if they take each other in marriage.A marriage contract is then signed in front of friends and families.Once the contract is signed, the couple is declared husband and wife.German ceremoniesWhen a little girl in born, several trees are planted in her honor. These trees are then sold once her wedding date is set, and the money from the sales will be used for her dowry(嫁妆).Friends of the couple also create a wedding newspaper, which is filled with pictures and sroties of the new couple.The newspaper is sold at the wedding and the money helps pay for the honeymoon.Usually, the ceremony is held at the city hall.Then, there will be a party the next day. Many friends bring old dishes to the party to break, believing it will bring good luck.Czech0slovakian (捷克斯洛伐克的)ceremoniesBefore the wedding, the bride’s friends traditionally plant a tree in her yard and decorate it with colored ribbons and painted eggshells, because, according to an old story, the bride will live as long as the tree.53.In Germany, the purpose of making a wedding nespaper is ____________.A.to inform the couple’s friendsB.to raise money for the honeyoonC.to record the wedding ceremonyD.to ask for the pemission of the pastor54.In Czech0slovakian,____________.A.sereral trees are planted by the parents when their girls are bornB.sereral trees are planted by the bride’s friends in the groom’s yardC.A tree is planted before wedding to wish the bride a long lifeD.A tree is planted on the day of the ceremony55.Which of the following is not true?a.Jamaican brides are forbidden to wear a red dress.b.Islamic wedding ceremonies may last for a few days.c.In Islamic, a contract has to be signed before the couple is declared husband and wife.d.In Germany, many friends bring old dishes to the wedding ceremony.A.abB.cdC. bcD.ad56.Where is the passage probabaly come from?A.A research paperB.A cultural websiteC.A short story collectionD.An official journal.Keys:BCDBCHave you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble-and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉的知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came.The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example-one of hundreds of dreams that have cometrue.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and a carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more.Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like this are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.57.The example of the man in the passage shows an ability to_______A. Avoid traffic accidentsB. Tell the good from the bad manC. Know about events that are happening some distance awayD. Know that a danger will actually happen later on58. The studys of ESP could be an important way to______A. Understand the human mindB. Tell in advance when death will comeC. Understand the five sensesD. Avoid traffic accidents59.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. the human dreamB. the sixth senseC. the human mindD. a crowded busKeys:DACD(D)Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!”or “All Natural”on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.61. All th e following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ____.A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”B. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brandsC. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary itemsD. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands62. What does the writer think about ads?A. They are believable.B. They are attractive.C. They are full of misinformation.D. They are helpful to consumers.63. One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ____.A. to make use of adsB. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunchD. to buy any ordinary items instead of famous brands64,The authors main purpose of writing the passage is to tell shoppers______A. to buy ordinary items instead of famous brandsB. to buying clothing in discpunt clothing storeC.how to make proper decisions while shoppingKeys:ADAC第II卷I.Conplete the sentences:1.Body language is ________________________________________(你站和坐的方式)2.A girl came over to Simon ______________________(毫不犹豫地)and gave him a big smile.3.The well-dressed lady _____________________________(瞥了他们一眼)and walked over to Debbie.4.In many Asian cultures, people avoid eye contact when talking people_________________(掌权的)5.___________________________________(盯着他人看) is considered rude and should be avoided.

Later, lawyers could receive their training(训练)in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German.

A runner and a dancerCRecently, a professor of philosophy (哲学) in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daytoday life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money,they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often bees clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does,it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling,but if it is not carried out in the money world,there is something less real about it.Since money is so important to us,we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires (百万富翁) in researching his book.Question:What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich,because you are a selfmade man?Answer:The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect.I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.People just have an idea of making more and more money,but what is it for?How much do I need for any given purposes in my life?In his book,the professor uncovered an important need in modern society:To bring backthe idea that money is a tool rather than the purpose. Money plays an important role in the material world,but expecting money to bring happiness may be missing the meaning of life.21. According to Paragraph 1, _______________.A. people haven’t realized the hidden meaning of dealing with money in their lifeB. people need to practise using money in their lifeC. people have understood money values a lot in their life.D. people can see money is not important in their life.22. The author (作者) seems to believe that asking your friend to lendyou some money________.A. is a good way to test your friendshipB. will do harm to your friendshipC. will strengthen your friendshipD. is a good way to break off your friendship23. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?A. He does not feel that he is well educated.B. He does not think that he is a very important person.C. He doesn't think that being rich is worth so much attention.D. He does not consider himself to be very successful.24. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?A. Money is an end.B. Money is a means (手段).C. Money is everything.D. Money is unimportant.25. Which of the following might the author disagree with?A. Money is important in modern society.B. The meaning of life does not pletely lie in money.C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.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。
上海市松江二中11-12学年高一上学期期中考试 英语试题.pdf
内容分析 训练主题:控制篇幅 内容分析: 一般中考写作都有篇幅的要求,通常要求学生写六百字的文章。
篇 幅太短,很难出现有分量的作品;篇幅太长,考试时间又不可以借,一 些地方采用网上阅卷后更不可以超出规定的篇幅。
这就要求我们能够灵 活应变,根据文章内容活用组合,自如控制作文长度。
1.素材活用 初中阶段,我们写过的习作也有不少,其中不乏一些很好的素材内 容。
在考场上,虽然我们很少能遇到一模一样的文题,但其实很多中考 作文题跟平时写过的文题在选材上基本都可通用。
例如:《为自己竖起大拇指》的选材和《跨过那道山》《向前迈进 一步》《告别胆怯》《我战胜了________》等文题的素材都可通用。
当 然,这只是基本材料的通用,必须具有灵活应变的组合和表达技巧,才 能让艰苦的考场写作事半功倍,如果死搬硬套,将会适得其反。
2.片段组合 一篇文章的片段,就像盖房子的预制件。
用大块大块的预制件,比 起一砖一瓦地垒砌,速度当然会快些,质量也会好些。
一篇文章,有概 述也有详写,就能在螺蛳壳里做道场,既有丰富内容,又容易给人深记 得印象。
如一位同学在一篇题为《足迹》的考场作文中,使用了以下几个片 段材料:四川北路山阴路的一条小弄堂里,一些现代文学家和鲁迅先生 留下了用笔代枪的战斗足迹。
上海一条安静的小马路上,布满爬山虎的 围墙内的古老欧式住宅里,曾经居住过一个慈祥的老人——伟大的文学 家——巴金。
在黄浦江畔,有一排废弃的厂房,这里是一座座艺术的天 堂,著名艺术家陈逸飞在对着黄浦江水的这里完成了一件件美仑美奂的 艺术品。
文章结尾点明写作主旨:这些文人及艺术家们都已经走了,但是他 们留下的,却是值得我们珍藏一辈子的财富。
这些文化名人的足迹星星点点地分布在上海的各个角落,好像是星星点灯,为我们照亮了人生, 让我们在漫长的人生旅途中有了更清晰的目标! 这种纵式结构的文章,可以随作者之意决定何者详写,何者略写, 而除了以上三位文化名人之外,其他的土生土长的或曾在上海生活过的 文化工作者,不是也可以根据篇幅或详写或概述么? 升格指导 训练题目 芊芊芦苇,触动了文人的心灵;巍巍“神舟”,触动了国人的 心灵;眷眷亲情,触动了游子的心灵;殷殷师恩;触动了学子的心灵……同学们,相信五彩斑斓的大千世界里,一定也会有许多 触动你心灵的人或事。

But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work. First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers –folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On “Super Bowl Sunday”, millions of Americans are glued to their TVs. They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown(触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on commercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.After football season, the “March Madness” begins. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) competitions begin with 68 men’s college basketball teams. They play until the field is reduced to the “Final Four”. The winning team becomes the national champion. The NBA (National Basketball Association) All-Star game is also held in February. The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot(吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning(棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team. Go to a ball game with your family, and cheer your team on. Sports are definitely a part of American culture one should not miss.66. According to the passage, the Super Bowl is _____.A. a well-received American football gameB. an expensive American sportC. an impressive TV performanceD. a most-watched TV series67.

People can eat pizza, chicken wings and chips when watching it.C. Its commercials are expensive enough to draw viewer s’ attention.D. The performances during its halftime show are appealing to viewers.68. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Americans spend a large amount of money on ball games.B. American people of all ages like going to watch baseball games.C. All the American stars take part in the national basketball game.D.

With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of thepeoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how trite it sounds! –That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate comforts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do –anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism and violence –so long as theyare quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?__________________________________________________________________________79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.____________________________________________________________________________81.____________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.

Learn from Your PastDA city inSouth Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of totaltraffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about30 kmnorthwest of the capital,Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.12. What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Drivers driving after drunk.B. Pedestrians buried in their phones.C. Passengers crazy about phones.D. Policemen in charge of traffic.13. What do we know about the warning system?A. It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.B. It has been spread nationwide.C. It gives a warning to the smartphones.D. It is being tried out in many places.14. What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?A. Negative.B. Unconcerned.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.15. What is the best title for the text?A.South KoreaWarns Smartphone Zombies of TrafficB. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent AccidentsC. Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic AccidentsD.South KoreaUses a New Traffic System第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The teacher who has to deal with this class is 40-year -old Philip Beadle. Before working in education, Mr. Beadle 43 _______ in a rock band? He gave up music eight years ago to become teacher. At his first school, he helped his students to get the best English marks the school had ever seen. As a result, he was made Schoolteacher of the Year.In the programme last night, we saw the students have their first lesson with Mr. Beadle. He started by playing a game, where he and the students 44 _______at each other and said something funny about the other person. This might not sound very 45 _______ but it caught everyone's attention. After that, Mr. Beadle took his class outside for an English lesson. At their previous schools, most of these students 46_______to read in front of their classmates, so Mr. Beadle took them to a(n) 47 _______ to read to some cows. Each student read a(n)48 _______ quote from a Shakespeare play to them, and the students seemed to enjoy it. In the next scene, Mr. Beadle took them to another field to teach them basic punctuation. He did this through another game where he asked the students to jump around clap their hands and shout, "question mark!" and "semicolon!" Everyone seemed to enjoy this strange way of learning By the end of the episode the students were indeed starting to accept their new teacher. Some of them even said he was "all right".I really enjoyed this show because the teacher had such a positive 49 _______on the students. If, like me, you are 50_______by this experiment in education, you will want to the whole series. Personally, I can't wait to see what happens next!IV.

A. flexible B. ambitious C. dominant D. feasibleSection B (22')Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor the last ten years, we’ve worked one-on-one with kids from elementary school through graduate school. No matter what their age is and no matter the material, when you ask what they’re struggling with, kids almost universally name a subject: math, English or, in some instances, school. wandering if the school was the key to the problem, we asked to see their last test. After a few complaints, the student digs down,deep into the darkness of his or her backpack, pulls out a dirty paper, flattens it, become the latest exam.For a teacher, this should be very unpleasant. You spend a lot of time grading tests, and giving thoughtful feedback on homework, only to be ignored. Yes, children look at their tests, but you shouldn’t have any illusion(幻想) about what they look at except for the red scores . Before blaming your children for being ungrateful or lazy, you need to understand why their behavior is perfect reasonable.Telling kids they need to make use of the feedback they get isn’t just good advice . In the last few decades, researchers have discovered a lot about how people become experts. The main idea, made popular by everyone, is the 10,000-hour rule. Ten thousand is the number of hours it takes to become an expert in almost any field.So why don’t kinds view their mistakes as a valuable thing? Well, kids don’t think about their mistakes well- they think about them emotionally. Mistakes make kids feel stupid. “Stupid” is just that: a feeling. Specifically, it’s the feeling of shame, and our natural response is to avoid its source. If we get a bad grade, we hide the test away. Unsurprisingly, that’s the worst move to make if you ever want to get better. Academic success does not come from how smart or motivated kids are. It comes from how they feel about their mistakes66. The passage suggests that learning to face mistakes is ______.A. a great difficult thing to both kids and adultsB. of great importance to the growth of kidsC. a practice scientist always neglects in their workD. the best way for language experts to be excellent in their fields67. According to the passage, the best way for kids to deal with their mistakes is by _______.A. doing whatever they like to doB. ignoring their mistakesC. seeking advice and feedback from teachersD. being brave to without thinking of them as a shame68. Which of the following does the writer think kids should not do when making mistakes?A. Learn from their mistakesB. Listen to the teachers’ adviceC. Regard themselves as stupidD. Think about their mistakes rationally69. According to the writer, teachers in school should ______.A. correct kids’ mistakes as soon as possibleB. remove kids’ fear of making mistakesC. give kids more information about studyD. always help to correct kids’ mistakesBRead the following three posts from the website, , and answer the questions that follow.CJ, 31, social workerI wish I had given the plain-looking guys a second chance while I was at school. I always went for handsome, athletic types. So, where am I today? Married to a good-looking fool. A handsome man who has no heart, no sympathy, and no love for anyone but himself. I sometimes visit my family back in my hometown and occasionally I run into old classmates --- the plain-looking guys. And what do I see now? Very intelligent, warm, funny men who are everything I want, but will never have in a husband.Mia, 22, photographerWhen I was at school,I played in most of the school sports teams. I remember one year our football team had to win the last game to get into the finals. Three minutes of the game left and we needed to score. I got control of the ball and ran towards the goal. Our captain was right next to me shouting “go on, take a shot”. But I panicked and passed the ball to her. She shot and missed. If only I hadn't passed the ball. I knew immediately that if I had taken the shot I would have scored. Ever since that game I've always taken every opportunity I could.Ben, 52, mechanicI wish I had listened to my parents more when I was a teenager. Thinking back, I find they gave me lots of good advice, but I ignored everything they said. I thought they were old and didn't know anything. Now I have got two teenagers of my own and realize how right they were.If I had listened to them, I might have made some better decisions in my life. I would have gone to university and probably waited a bit before I got married. I hope my daughters will listen to me more than I listened to my parents.70.What did CJ talk about in the first post?A missed opportunity B. Plain-looking guysC. Romance between classmatesD. Qualities of a good husband71.When Ben was a teenager, he __________.A. was determined to go to universityB. often turned to his parents for adviceC. looked up to everything that his parents saidD. thought he could make good decisions for himself72.According to the passage, what are people most likely to share on the website?A. Greetings.B. Regrets.C. School life.D. Original ideasCEnergy independence.It has a nice ring to it.Doesn't it?If you think so,you're not alone,because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades,and never more so than in the past few years,when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession."Energy independence" and its rhetorical (修辞的)companion "energy security" are,however,slippery concepts that are rarely though through.What is it we want independence from,exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there arereasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes,there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuels available,and more may become available,but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second,Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.V ast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what degree are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third,there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do,we benefit.And although you don't read about this much,the United States is also a large exporter of oil products,selling about 2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and,in fact,relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted,we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices,At the same time,we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.73.What does the author say about energy independence for America?A.It sounds very attractive.B.It ensures national security.C.It will bring oil prices down.D.It has long been everyone's dream..74.Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A.It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C.Its own oil production falls short of demand.D.It wants to keep its own environment undamaged.75.What does the author say about oil trade?A.It proves profitable to both sides.B.It improves economic efficiency.C.It makes for economic development.D.It saves the cost of oil exploration.76.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.B. To arouse Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C. To stress the importance of energy conservation.D. To explain the increase of international oil trade.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.You might take a car, a bus, or a bike to school. But in Bangladesh, instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street, many students wait for a school boat to come down the river. That’s right—these students attend school on a boat!Bangladesh is very close to sea level_____77_____ The flooding creates many problems. For the nearly 160 million people living there, the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads, electricity, or telephones.Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by these disruptions. In 1998 he founded an organization called Shidhulai. The name means “self-reliance.” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country. In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. The boats had everything you might find a in regular classroom. The only difference was that they floated on a river.______78______ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh. About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season. In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a health-care center. The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, and human rights.At night the boats provide additional learning opportunities for students and adults. ______79______ They study using solar lamps that are charged during the day at stations near the river. Special equipment on the boats also projects lessons onto big screens made from sailcloth. People can come down to the riverbank to watch films. In all, these boats help educate close to 90,000 families in Bangladesh.By floating down the rivers, the school boats provide more than books. ______80______ “This ‘library’ boat inspired me,” said 18-year-old student Shanto. Islam, who enjoys reading science fiction books. “I started to dream.” Islam now wants to attend a university.第II 卷I.

松江二中高三第一学期英语第一次月考试卷
松江二中高三第一学期英语第一次月考试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.AWhen I was a child of seven years old, my mother, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers(铜币). I went directly to a shop (25)________ they sold toys for children. On my way to the shop, I was charmed with the sound of a whistle in the hands of a boy I met, so I voluntarily offered and gave all my money for one. Then I came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle but disturbing all the family. After knowing the “bargain” I had made, my mother told me I had given four times as much for the whistle (26)________ it was worth.I was laughed at me so much for my folly by my sisters, brothers and cousins (27)________ I cried with vexation(烦恼). The reflection which put me in mind (28)________ good things I might have bought with the rest of the money gave me more anger than the whistle gave me pleasure.This impression (29)________(continue) on my mind, however, was afterward of use to me. Since then, every time I was tempted to buy some unnecessary thing, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, and I will save my money.”As I grew up, came into the world, and observed my actions, I thought I met many, very many, (30) ________ gave too much for the whistle.When I saw a beautiful, sweet-tempered girl married to an ill-natured, brute husband, I said to myself, “What a pity that she (31)________ pay so much for a whistle.”In short, I think that a great number of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by the false estimate they have made of the value of things, and by their giving too much (32) ________ such things.BAlice Roosevelt Longworth, the eldest daughter of American President Theodore Roosevelt, was a writer and a popular hostess who gave many parties in Washington, D.C. She was also a famous gossip. In her home, where many powerful politicians came to visit, there was (33)________ cushion on the sofa which said, “If you don’t have anything good (34)________ (say) about anybody, come sit next to me.” Alice delighted in hearing the worst about people, but she treated gossip with a sense of humor, which makes important people seem more human.It is hard to imagine what Alice would think about all the gossip flying around the Internet today, and all the unpleasant comments people make on so cial media. She probably wouldn’t like it because the comments are aimed at ordinary people and they (35)________(mean) to be hurtful. The Internet is now filled with “trolls” who feel (36)________(entitle) to criticize others and shower negative comments on people they don’t even know.This “troll” behavior (37)________(become) an ugly trend and psychologists say it is harmful to society and to people’s mental health. When the Internet is filled with negative comments, we start to distrust (38)________ and only see their bad side. If you happen to be on the receiving end of unpleasant comments, it can cause depression, anxiety and pretty much ruin your life.However, trolls, at heart, may not be bad people. They may just get carried away by the unique characteristics: anonymity, distance and the use of written words. Anonymity, because no one knows who is making the comments. Distance, because the person receiving the comments seems far away. And because the Internet comments are made in writing, it is (39)________(easy) to say things that you wouldn’t say out loud.Humans are social creatures, so making comments about other people is as natural to us as (40)________(breathe) air. However, we should try to think carefully before we post a comment online and ask ourselves these questions: Am I being fair? Am I being hurtful? Is my comment really necessary?Section BDirection: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that thereWe’re a nation - a globe, in fact - obsessed with our hair. Analysts ____41____ the global hair products industry to be worth £22.6 billion – and growing at a rate of up to seven per cent a year.There seems to be no limit on what we’ll spend to avoid a bad hair day. But for devotees of an underground beauty movement, the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo, in fact all the hair products, for good. The ‘no-poo’ method, which ____42____ using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner, is supported by several circles.Beauty insiders, including writers for women’s magazines and professional hairdressers, speak highly of how hair becomes thicker, fuller and brighter. And environmentalists who are mindful with money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies - not to mention the ____43____ on their budgets.Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream. Lucy Aitken Read, whose book Happy Hair: The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was ____44____ last week, hasn’t used shampoo for two years and her glowing auburn hair is ____45____ in perfect condition.For her, the ____46____ came after reading a study that claimed women put 515 chemicals on their bodies daily. “I ____47____ thought ‘Ha! They didn’t research me!’” Aitken Read says. “Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didn’t recognize in the slightest.”Strangely it is oily hair that can benefit the most from giving up shampoo. The theory behind the ‘no-poo’ method is that shampoo ____48____ the hair of its natural oils, which causes the scalp(头皮) to ____49____ more oils to replace them. This results in oil overload – oily hair – which we then ____50____ to ‘fix’ with more shampoo. It’s a vicious circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry, because the more shampoo you use, the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some ____51____ ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still ____52____ happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deep, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, ____53____ forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects ____54____ when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has ____55____ to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant ____56____ to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir after memoir, celebrities ____57____ the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be ____58____ satisfying. If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite ____59____. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most ____60____ features.____61____, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep or three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating ____62____ we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can ____63____ increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems ____64____. And it liberates us from ____65____: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people who we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.51.A. ideal B. realistic C. abstract D. mistaken52.A. substitute B. equate C. replace D. unite53.A. temporarily B. eventually C. permanently D. adventurously54.A. begin B. end C. resume D. start55.A. something B. nothing C. everything D. anything56.A. reply B. objection C. response D. access57.A. recover B. resolve C. reveal D. relieve58.A. less and less B. more and more C. more or less D. more than59.A. shameful B. grateful C. purposeful D. painful60.A. conflicting B. obliging C. enduring D. distinguishing61.A.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ATwo dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park. The smaller dolphin Grace showed off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’t have a tail.Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap. When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it?” Her tra iner, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it - but her tail didn’t. She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail. Dolphins swim bymoving their flukes and peduncle up and down. Grace taught herself to move anotherway - like a fish! She pushed herself forward through the water by moving herpeduncles from side to side.The movement put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone. So a company offered tocreate a man-made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as sheswam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the pool. Now, she is still le arning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone, “but it helps to keep that range of motion and build muscles.”Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending. This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.66. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ________.A. physical buildB. potential abilityC. chance of survivalD. adaptation to the surroundings67. A man-made tail is created for Grace to ________.A. let her recover fasterB. make her comfortableC. adjust her way of swimmingD. help her perform better tricks68.

You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.73. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is____.A. to see whether people’s personality affects their life spanB. to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity74. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A. They have a good understanding of evolution.B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They are generally more active and intelligent.D. They are more likely to get over hardship.75. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.76. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A. Children’s personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers.B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner.C. Mothers’ influence on children may last longer than fathers’.D. Mothers’ negative personality characteristics may affect their children’s life spans.77. What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B. Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D. Health is in large part related to one’s lifestyle.DSpace exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic(讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims.When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The endless argument is that funds are tight and that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit, reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury - as if saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modern Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up assault on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us - not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can transcend(超越) what were once considered inherentlimitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will transcend these as well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.78. The author mentions Cyrano de Bergerac in order to show that ________.A. imagination is the mother of inventionB. ingenuity is essential for science fiction writersC. it takes patience for humans to realize their dreamsD. dreamers have always been interested in science fiction79. How did the general public view Kennedy’s space exploration plan?A. It symbolized the American dream.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C. It sounded very much like a dream.D. It made an ancient dream come true.80. What does the author say about America’s aim to explore space?A. It may not bring about immediate economic gains.B. It cannot be realized without technological innovation.C. It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.D. It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds.81. What is the author’s attitude toward space programs?A. Critical.B. Reserved.C. Neutral.D. Supportive.II卷Translation1. 一有疑犯的消息请您立即联系当地警方。

She had 48 not to check work emails while on board the ship, but soon found herself going through the Internet and working because the employee who she had left in charge was mishandling things.One way for business owners to give themselves a real vacation is to plan well in advance, including 49 clients that they’ll be gone. “Recognized that part of your goal is to let the company run without you, and that the business owner shouldn’t be necessary,” says Julie Kirk, president of Path Forward Int ernational.The best way to break the reliance on technology is to feel 50 leaving thebusiness in the first place.

It will “stick to your ribs.”D. It makes a great midnight snackBMost of us can remember the days when we didn’t use e-mail as everyday vehicle for communication. Slowly but surely, it crept into our lives. E-mail is a valuable tool for American college students at any level. It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week andeven at holidays. Most universities assign students an account upon entrance, so there is usually not even a choice involved.You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, corresponding with families and friends, and getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But what are the disadvantages?E-mail can be e-jail. You might spend hours writing and responding to e-mails when you should devote yourself to the books for an upcoming examination. Or, you might be signed up for so many daily services such as horoscopes (星座), news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up wit h “junk mail”, that finding the important e-mails through your mailbox might take hours.If you are a student, time is valuable. Create and organize your e-mail folders into important school-related mail, correspondence with friends and family, and a mixed folder for jokes, horoscopes and other news services. Always put the mail into the appropriate folders first, and when you’re finished, head for the important school-related folder first. Respond to the most important e-mails first and, if you have time, you can get to the others.Discourage your friends from forwarding those tiresome joke lists and chain e-mail. The minute you realize you’ve got one, delete it immediately so you won’t be tempted to read it.72. What is mainly discussed in the second paragraph?A. How to make use of e-mailB. How to post your e-mail.C. The advantages of e-mailD. The problems with e-mail73. The author suggests that a college student should have at least __________ e-mailfolders.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. fiveCYounger white women with vitamin D deficiencies are about three times more likely to have high blood pressure in middle age than those with normal vitamin levels, according to a study released on Thursday.The study, presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association in Chicago, adds younger women to a growing list of people including men who may develop high blood pressure at least in part because of low vitamin D.“Our result s indicate that early vitamin D deficiency may increase the long-term risk of high blood pressure in women at mid-life,” said Flojaune Griffin, who worked on the study for the University of Michigan School of Public Health.Vitamin D, which the human body can make from sunlight and which is found in fatty fish, fortified milk products and dietary supplements, has long been known to contribute to healthy bones and teeth.But deficiencies, which are widespread in women, are linked to cancer, immunesystem (免疫系统) problems and diseases. High blood pressure raises the likelihood of heart disease and other similar problems.The women in the blood pressure study lived in Tecumseh, Michigan, and were 24 to 44 years old with an average age of 38, when the research began.Researchers measured vitamin D blood levels at the beginning and took blood pressure readings once a year. In 2007, they compared the readings – the top number in blood pressure results that indicates the pressure within blood vessel (⾎管) when the heart beats. More than 10 percent of women with vitamin D deficiencies had high blood pressure in 2007, compared with 3.7 percent of those with sufficient levels. When the study began, 5.5 percent with deficiencies also had high blood pressure, compared to 2.8 percent with normal vitamin D.The study was funded by the U.S. National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Almost half the population worldwide has lower-than-optimal levels of vitamin D and researchers say the problem is worsening as people spend more time indoors. African-Americans seem at especially high risk as dark skin can make it harder for the body to absorb ultraviolet light.74. The underlined word “deficiencies” in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.A. faultB. lackC. efficiencyD. adequacy75. From the passage, we can know _________.A. staying too long indoors is the main reason for many people lackingvitamin D.B. the study was provided with money by the American Heart Association inChicago.C. 40 percent people had deficiencies in 2007.D. women are more likely to suffer diseases.76. What is the passage mainly about?A. Women suffering high blood pressure all lack vitamin D.B. Low vitamin D raises blood pressure in women.C. High blood pressure contributes to low vitaminD.D. Vitamin D is important to blood pressure.DScience fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on Mars, and now scientists are taking the idea seriously.6 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Recent exploration has shown evidence of water on Mars, and the presence of Martian ice cap means that if the ice could be melted there might be enough water to live on. Another problem would be gravity. Mars has a gravity of 0.38g rel ative to Earth’s 1g, the closest to Earth among the theoretically habitable bodies in the solar system, butstill quite low, and possibly giving rise to health problems associated with lower gravity.Despite such problems, scientists who study Mars have laid down a program they could follow. To begin with, they would have to find out whether life ever existed on the planet in the past. Then they would have to make a reliable map of its surface, and finally they would have to make a list of its gases. Above all, they would have to find out how much nitrogen it possesses and believe it could be done in a hundred years. Since nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe, they are optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars if nitrogen is enough. It would take a bit longer, though, to transform the atmosphere to one in which human beings could live. The scientists estimate that this could take one hundred thousand years. But gravity will be another problem.77.Why are scientists interested in Mars?A.Because people might have to move there some day.B.Because they find there is water on Mars.C.Because it’s easier to explore than other planets.D.Because its surface is different from that of the earth.78.Which of the following should scientists overcome to live on Mars?a. water shortageb. bad atmospherec. low temperatured. low gravityA. bcdB. abcC. acdD. abd79. What do we learn about nitrogen from the text?A. It can cause health problems on Mars.B. It makes up four-fifths of the air on Mars.C. It takes up a larger part than carbon dioxide on Mars.D. It makes up most of the atmosphere on the earth.80. We can learn from the text that ___________.A. scientists found that life had ever existed on MarsB. scientists are not optimistic about people being able to live on MarsC. we will probably be able to live on Mars in 100,000 yearsD. scientists are now making a map of the surface of Mars81.Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty ne ver seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.82.________________Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may ask to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara. 83.________________It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland, and Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.84.________________The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping, and these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to cut in – and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.85.________________That’s why slight differences in conversational style –tiny little things like microseconds of pause –can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems – even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.第Ⅱ卷Translation (15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word or phrase given in the brackets.1.均衡的饮⾷和适度的锻炼是他健康的原因。

We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrongBut even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster4. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?A. Not all of them are related to one’s age.B. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.C. They occur only among certain groups of people.D. They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.5. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriouslyA. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiencesC. Failure to remember the names of movies or actorsD. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.6. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A. Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B. Stop medications affecting memory.C. Turn to a professional for assistance.D. Exercise to improve their well-being7. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice forfight against memory loss?A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.D. Staying active both physically and mentallyCThe prevalence of melanoma (黑素瘤) has been rapidly rising around the world for nearly a century. While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on where you are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.8. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?A. The climate change.B. Better detection.C. More exposure to the sun.D. The increase ofskin cancer.9.What’s a mistake according to experts?A. Applying sunscreen in summer.B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Prevention is better than cure.B. Health is better than wealth.C. A disease known is half cured.D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.11. What is the best title of the text?A. Detect Melanoma.B. Beware Winter Rays.C. Monitor Your Moles.D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.DThe market for tourism in remote areas is booming as never before. Countries all across the world are actively promoting their wilderness regions-such as mountains, Arctic lands, deserts, small islands and wetlands— to high-spending tourists. The attraction of these areas is obvious: by definition, wilderness tourism requires little or no initial investment. But that does not mean that there is no cost.Once a location is established as a main tourist destination, the effects on the local community are profound. Hill-farmers can make more money from foreign travellers than working in their fields. It is not surprising that many o£ them give up their farm-work. In some hill-regions, this has led to a serious decline in farm output and a change in the local diet, because there is lacking labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems. The result has been that many people in these regions have turned to outside supplies of rice and other foods.InArcticand desert societies, year-round survival has traditionally depended on hunting animals and fish and collecting fruit over a ly short season. However, as some inhabitants become involved in tourism, they no longer have time to collect wild food; this has led to increasing dependence on bought food and stores. What should they do if these new sources of income dry up?The physical impact of visitors is another serious problem associated with the growth in adventure tourism. Much attention has focused on erosion along major roads, but perhaps more important are the forest destruction and impacts on water supplies arising from the need to provide tourists with cooked food and hot showers. In both mountains and deserts, slow-growing trees are often the main sources of fuel and water supplies may be limited through heavy use.12. Why are some countries promoting the wilderness regions to tourists?A. The wildness regions are accessible to tourists.B. The landscapes there are beautiful and unique.C. Developing tourism there doesn't need much investment.D. Lots of high-spending tourists prefer such remote regions.13. What is the effect of tourism on the local community?A. Many hill farmers have turned to outside supplies of foods.B. There is enough labour to maintain terraces and irrigation systems.C. Farm output there has increased and local diet has changed.D. The local people's new sources of income will dry up soon.14. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The future of wilderness tourism.B. The impacts of wilderness tourism.C. The destruction of wilderness tourism.D. The disadvantages of wilderness tourism.15. If there is one more paragraph following the last paragraph, what will it talk about?A. The effects on local people.B. The solutions tothese problems.C. The choices of adventure tourists.D. The reasons for visiting remote areas.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2021届上海市松江二中高级中学高三英语一模试题及答案
2021届上海市松江二中高级中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt's just before l pm and hungry guests are starting to emerge out onto the wooden floor at the back of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe. A few have already settled in for lunch, drinking beer and enjoying their sandwiches and salads in the sunshine. It's a normal setting until you look up. Overhead, the sky is filled with several hundred vultures (秃鹭).They too have arrived for their midday snack. Every day the team at this hotel places last night's leftover meat out for the vultures to eat. They call it the "Vulture Restaurant" and it's a vital part of protecting these birds, who have become some of the most endangered species in Africa.In Zimbabwe, where illegal hunting of elephants and rhinos is a major issue, poisoning poses a significant threat to the birds. "In recent years hunters have realized they can use poison to kill animals. It's effective because it's silent and therefore doesn't attract much attention.when the vultures eat the bodies of the dead animals they die too," says Roger Parry, Wildlife Manager at the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust.The Vulture Restaurant initiative is part feeding programme, part education programme. By attracting the birds to the Vulture Restaurant every day the team can ensure they're regularly getting a safe meal, and while the birds are there they can educate tourists from all over the world about these creatures.“Lunch” is served by Moses Garira. He has the unenviable task of wandering out into the middle of the clearing with a box full of meat, dropping the contents onto the ground and running for his life as the vultures fly downward suddenly for their food. No one, surely, would volunteer for this role, but Garira rather enjoys it. Back in the safety of the viewing seats, he tells the onlookers about the importance of vultures. "They're hugely important in terms of their role of cleaning up the bodies of dead animals," says Garira. "Notably, they're safely able to digest bacteria like anthrax. Without vultures, there'd be a lot more disease in the world."1. What's the biggest threat vultures facing in Zimbabwe?A. Overhunting.B. Unsafe food.C. Loss of habitat.D. A bird disease.2. What would others think of Garira's job?A. Scary.B. Relaxing.C. Well-paid.D. Time-consuming3. What do Garira's words mean?A. Birds are human's best friends.B. People know little about vultures.C. Vultures are environmentally favorable.D. Vultures are in urgentneed of protection.BWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”4. Whatdoes the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.5. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs6. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and LuckCOver 180 teenage girls from LixianCounty No. 1 Middle School in Longnan city, Gansu province, listened carefully to a lecture about neuroscience (神经科学). It was delivered by a director of the experimental surgery department at The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an.The students also joined a science class to make paper rockets to launch into the sky. A plastic bottle was connected with a long pipe joined to the end of the rocket, and students stepped heavily on the middle of the bottle so hard that the air pressure shot the rocket upward.The program started in 2016 as a one-week summer camp in Beijing that invited female students to take science courses and to interact with women in science. It aims to stir (激发) an interest in science and technology among female students.“I’m excited to take the opportunity because it’s been my biggest wish to popularize science among students. They can broaden their eyes and hopefully some of them will devote themselves to the field of neuroscience,” the director says. “It’s necessary to bring more of these activities on campus. I’m willing to communicate with teenagers, some of whom ask deep and thoughtful questions that I would never think of.”The key to science popularization is to imbue (灌输) others with the spirit of science. Some scientific andtechnological workers have devoted themselves to a job in a certain field and they enjoy the pleasure of scientific research. Female Chinese scientific and technological workers sometimes have to double their efforts to receive the same treatment or recognition as those male scientific workers. However, after years of continued effort, the situation will improve, showing the increasing number of female scientists in China.8. What is the purpose of the program?A. To praise the efforts of women scientists.B. To find out how much girls love science.C. To develop interest in science among girls.D. To show love for students in Western China.9. How does the director think of the program?A. Important.B. Challenging.C. Confusing.D. Serious.10. What is the most important in science popularization?A. Enjoying the fun of scientific research.B. Filling people with the spirit of science.C. Holding more scientific activities on campus.D. Forcing students to choose scientific subjects.11. What can we learn from the text?A. One can go anywhere if he/she learns science well.B. People have a stronger sense of science than before.C. Male scientists are much easily recognized than female ones.D. Thedirector graduated from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School.DThink ofJapanin the spring and the image that comes to mind is likely the country’s famous cherry blossoms, also known as “Sakura” — white and pink flowers, blooming across cities and mountains.The flowers, which experience a “peak bloom” that only lasts a few days, have been loved inJapanfor more than a thousand years. Crowds celebrate with viewing parties,flockingto the most popular locations to take photos and have picnics underneath the branches.But this year, cherry blossom season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, in one of the earliest blooms on record. Scientists warn it’s a symptom of the larger climate crisis threatening ecosystems everywhere.Yasuyuki Aono, a researcher atOsakaPrefectureUniversity, has gathered records fromKyotoback to 812 ADfrom historical documents and diaries. In the central city ofKyoto, cherry blossoms peaked on March 26, the earliest in more than 1,200 years, Aono said. And in the capitalTokyo, cherry blossoms reached full bloom on March 22, the second-earliest date on record.The peak bloom dates shift every year, depending on numerous factors including weather and rainfall, but have shown a general trend of moving earlier and earlier. InKyoto, the peak date stayed around mid-April for centuries, but began moving into early April during the 1800s. The date has only dipped into late March a handful of times in recorded history.“Sakura blooms are very temperature sensitive,” said Aono. “Flowering and full bloom could be earlier or later depending on the temperature alone,” he said. “The temperature was low in the 1820s, but it has risen by about 3.5 degrees Celsius to this day.”This year’s seasons in particular influenced the blossom dates, he added. The winter was very cold, but the spring came fast and unusually warm.12. What is the best title of the passage?A. Cherry blossom celebrations.B. Warning of a climate crisis.C. A strong love for cherry blossom.D. Cherry blossom season coming earlier.13. What does the underlined word “flocking” mean?A. Blocking.B. Flooding.C. Running.D. Following.14. What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. The peak blossom dates fall on a fixed date.B. The cherry blossom rarely peaks in March.C. The peak bloom dates mainly depend on weather and rainfall.D. Cherry blossom peaks around mid-April inTokyo.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To inform people the date of cherry blossom.B. To show a study on cherry blossom dates.C. To present a Japanese tradition of cherry blossom celebration.D. To make people aware of the influence of climate change on cherry blossom.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand (品牌)of product on the shelf.Coloring,for example,varies according to what the producers are trying to sell.Health foods are packaged in greens,yellows or browns because we think of theses as healthy colours.Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods,like chocolates,are gold or silver.When some kind of painkiller was brought out recently.researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective Eventually,it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calmThe size of a product can attract a shopper But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as It appears toIt is believed that the better-known companies spend,on average,70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product The founder

suburban Maryland.The speaker, carefully programmed arrived on the stage under its own power and went on to tell the audience of 685 graduates,their families,and friends that they would have to learn to work with robots and technology to solve society’s problems The robot described itself as an extension of a person to help humans increase the workload(工作量) Although this particular robot can be programmed to speak the voice heard wasn’t that of the robot,because it was feared that the robot’s voice was not loud enough to carry throughout the hall.An amplified(扩大的)voice of a human was used instead.while the listeners watched the robot.Robot Redford was followed by a person,William Bakaleinikoff, who spoke about the need for cooperation between people and technology Mr. Bakaleinikoff’s experience with his topic included the fact that he had created Robot Redford and had provided the voice for the robot’s words to the graduatesThere was quite a bit of argument over the choice of a robot as a commencement speaker Some students thought it made them lose face to use a robot Others thought the idea was Clever, new and different“I’ll never forget his speech,〞said one graduate“ You forget a political leader,but you won’t forget a robot.〞64.The robot was designed to .A.make humans unnecessary B.help humans do everythingC.make graduation speeches D.cause lots of trouble65.Robot

technologyC.Every college needs a robot.D.Some people distrust technologySection CDirections:Read the following text and choose tile most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.68.In ancient Greece people knew about the healing powers of the sun,but this knowledge was lost.At the end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor,Niels Finsen,began to study the effect of sunlight on certain diseases,especially diseases of the skin.He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in unnaturally produced rays Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people.69.A Swiss doctor Auguste Rollier,made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin.Leysin is a small village high up in the Alps.The position is important:the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the infra-red and ultra.violet rays;but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the polluted air near industrial towns Dr Rollier found that sunlight,flesh air and good food cure a great many diseases.He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis(肺结核)with his“sun-cure〞70.There were a large number of children in Dr.Rollier’s hospital He decided to start a school where sick children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn It was not long before his school was full.In winter,wearing only shorts,socks and boots,the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books Their teacher led them over the snow until they reached a slope which faced the sun and was free from cold winds.There they set out their desks and chairs,and school began.71.Although they hardly wore any clothes,Rollier’s pupils were very seldom cold.That was because their bodies were lull of energy which they got from the sun.But the doctor knew that sunshine call also be dangerous If,for example,tuberculosis is attacking the lungs,unwise sunbathing may do great harm.72.Today there is not just one school in tire sun There are several in Switzerland,and since Switzerland is not the only country that has the right conditions,there are similar schools in other places.第II卷(共28分)I.Verb filling(10分)Directions:Fill in the blanks with the verbs given in the blankets,using their proper forms1.I'm not too bothered where food comes from,so long as it (taste)good2.The boy (search)everywhere for his keys when his father accidentally found them on the kitchen counter yesterday3.Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite,but (stare)at others is also considered rude4.First all the contestants answered 10 questions each,but to win the grand prize Angela (have)to answer three more questions.5.The teacher said to the whole class,“Everyone in the class(expect)to take an active part in the present discussion〞.6.The policeman ran as fast as he could (catch)the robber.7.Now it's late autumn;the annual Fragrant Hills Event is held every autumn,when all the Fragrant Hills (blanket)with fiery(火似的)red leaves8.Visitors throughout the world can’t help but(admire)the masterpieces made by Michelangelo9.Nobody can escape (punish)if he or she breaks the law10.It (rain)for nearly a month And it doesn’t seem to stop.How terrible it is!II Translation(18分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words or phrases in the brackets1.这是她第一次来。

Reading:)(30%)(A)Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school or at university. Which one did you like best? And Why? Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in you opinion? Before you read any further, consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding(出色).Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devotethemselves completely to their jobs. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent(程度) but they are perhaps a little too simple.It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them as people and in the development of both their characters. A deep knowledge on to the students effectively-a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. These skills include how to control a class, and so on. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, they are also models that their students must follow; so it is important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work-family, friends, hobbies, etc. A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow-minded.50.

People who hadn't used a bicycle since they were children decided that they would buy bicycles. They discovered that cycling could be enjoyable and cheap.Bicycle sales had been falling for many years but suddenly everything changed. In 1975, British people spent more than one million on bicycles. Bicycle traffic increased by 11 percent.Bicycle fans compare the cost of running a car with the cost of running a bicycle. They also say bicycle-riding is a good form of exercise. In towns bicycles can often be faster than cars or buses. The bicyclists can ride through traffic jams and at the end of his journey he doesn't have to look for a parking space. Cycling through the countryside is a real pleasure; the cyclist has time to see things that the motorist, driving at over 100 kilometers an hour, never sees.But in the cities, cycling can be dangerous. You need good concentration(专心) and strong nerves, especially when a truck or a bus is trying to pass you. Since cycling became popular again, there has been an increase in the number of accidents.Cyclists say the answer to the problem is to separate bicycles from other traffic. Stevenage, a new town near London, has a system of “bikeways”, where only bicycles are allowed to travel. However, in most towns, cyclists say, the needs of the bicycle riders are overlooked. Cyclists have formed into “action groups” in many towns in Britain. They want to persuade local councils -who are in charge of the roads and traffic in their areas-to make sure there are safe facilities(设施) for cyclists. Or, they say, interest in cycling will die.54.

They had given me all their tests and still they didn’t realize how wrong they are. They said I had a malignant(恶性的), inoperable tumor(肿瘤), about the size of a so ftball between my left lung and breast bone. Obviously, this couldn’t be.I was only 67, at the start of the golden years. Yet, they said, the thing had been quietly growing inside my chest for a year or more.Next, they asked questions about my family history, my illness, and operations. Then came the big one: Did I smoke? For how long? I had never added it up before. From a start at age 17, I had been smoking averaging a carton(条) a week. That habit, most doctors agree, is the cause of some 80 percent of lung cancer. “We think we can give some time. However, in your case there is no cure.” Dr. Robert Putuys said kindly. With my family’s longevity record. I shall live into my 80’s.But now I was told to have about a 50/50 chance of making it six months. Fifteen years lost. Each of my 520,000 cigarettes cost me more than 15 minutes of life, each carton more than two days. I would have to kick the habit.My cigarettes lay on the bedside table. they were always ready to be companion During college stress, wartime anxiety, complicated family situations and career pressure, I had turned to them for relief. But now. I realized with surprise, they meant nothing to me. So don’t be discourage d f you’re a smoker. Keep on smoking, enjoy it. You’ll break the habit easily if you get cancer.

The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye. In the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone experience in the organization.Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Cole man is black. He spent 11 years with IBM; half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant, to the likes of AT & Coca-Cola. Prudential and Merch Coleman says that based on what he' s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image 30%; and exposure, a full 60%.Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won' t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who like Coleman feel that the scales(障眼物) have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you'll get a head--that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She adds, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they' ye gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility(能见度)." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight(聚光灯照明圈).62.
