2018-2019学年上海市闵行区七宝中学高二第一学期期中卷Ⅱ. Grammar (10)Directions:Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given words: for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.As a man who has already stepped into the tomb of love, I always have a feeling that it is my obligation to warn those guys who (21) ________ (not; marry) so far or are about to do that of the danger involved in marriage. Those simple-minded men can easily get (22) ________ “killed”, if they don’t know that comes with marriage.Since I am a quick learner, it didn’t take me long to find out (23) ________ a man needs to do to survive a marriage. Here are the 7 golden principles, which I would like to call “Marriage Survival Tips for Man”. Ready to take notes?No.1: Anything (24) ________ (request) by your wife should be doubtless taken as your priority in your to-do list. Whether it is to mop the floor or babysit your son, do it immediately and do it for life, idiot! Because the more times she has to ask you to do that, the (25) ________ (patient) she will be.No.2: Caution! Do not argue with your wife! (26) ________ reasonable you think you are, you will always end up saying sorry to her Trust me. As a man, the last thing you want to do is to get into an argument with a woman. Women are not supposed (27) ________ (reason) with. They are not designed that way. (Pardon me for being such a male chauvinist (直男炎). Deep down, I totally support feminism.) So unless you want to start a full-scale war you can never win, otherwise apologize to her the moment you two make eye contact.No.3: Always give positive feedbacks (28) ________ ________ any questions raised by her. For example, if she wants to buy a pair of high-heels or a fancy coat, say yes! Of course, always saying yes will cost you a fortune but at least it can save your life! And (29) ________ ________ ________ you are alive, money does grow on trees! But when the questions are related to her weight, stay with a simple life-saving rule: for God’s sake, she is not even a little bit fat! Calling her fat would be viewed as a horrible crime which deserves a death sentence!No 4: Sorry man! I can’t make this up anymore. Her Majesty (30) ________ (call) me again. I have to go now! Pray for me!Ⅲ. Vocabulary (20)Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box… Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need.What’s the point of reading if we all forget what we read sooner or later? Being a liberal arts (文科) teacher, more often than not, I will find myself confronted with this sort of question. And knowing that I am not in a good position to (31) ________ this question which can be simple and hard at the same time, I always quote what William Johnson Cory has written in a letter in which he articulates (清晰表达) the purpose of education. From my perspective, his words can also be taken as a (32) ________ argument for reading. The full quotation goes: “At school you are (33) ________ not so much in acquiring knowledge as in making mental efforts under criticism. A certain amount of knowledge you can indeed with average faculties acquire so as to retain; nor need you (34) ________ the hours you spent on much that is forgotten, for the (35) ________ of lost knowledge at least protects you from many illusions. But you go to a great school not so much for knowledge as for arts and habits: for the habit of attention, for the art of entering (36) ________ into another person’s thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure (批判) and refutation (反驳), for the art if indicating assent (附议) or dissent (异议) in gradated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the art of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage, and for mental soberness (清醒).”Besides, even though we eventually forget most of what we read, there can still be (37) ________ in the moments of reading a particular book in a particular place. What I remember most about Hemingway’s short-story (38) ________ Men Without Women is the persistent cough I had due to a heavy cold, which at that time did give me a strong feeling that I would also like to die for my beloved.So the purpose of reading is not to memorize (39) ________ everything we read but to keep reading. After all, if there are no (40) ________ opinions on the idea that we are what we eat then we are also what we read.(B)You are my Solskjaer,My Ole SolskjaerYou make me happy when skies are grey.You’ll never know dear.How much I love you.Please don’t take my Solskjaer away.You are my SolskjaerMy only SolskjaerYou make my happy when skies are greyCoz when it’s pouring you just keep scoringPlease don’t take our Solskjaer awayThe above song is (41) ________ from Jimmie Davis’ You Are My Sunshine by Manchester United (曼联) fans to express their overwhelming love towards Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (索尔斯克亚), their favourite striker—Babyface Killer. Although the fans never want to bid (42) ________ to their beloved Ole, every journey always has an end, no matter how wonderful it is.Finally, the story of Ole as a United player ended. On 28 August 2007 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (43) ________ called time on his united playing career-eleven years and three days after it began with a goalscoring debut.On the field, the Norwegian became a perfect (44) ________ of United’s never-say-die spirit in their most successful decade, often scoring late goals when points or trophies looked to have been lost. But off the field, he finally had to admit one defeat—in his battle with his (45) ________ knee injury.On retiring, ole said, “I would like to thank the manager, the coaching and medical staff and most of all the supporters. The supporters have been fantastic ad were a real (46) ________ to me when I was out injuried. And their tremendous support will always be in my heart. I feel proud to have (47) ________ United for 11 years and have some very special memories.”Ole’s many career (48) ________ include his four goals in 12 minutes as a substitute at Nottingham forest in United’s recrod away win (8-1). But surely the most special memory of all would be the Champions League final in 1999 when he best (49) ________ his ability to seize the whisker of a chance. His injury-time-toe-poke past Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn (卡恩) completed United’s Treble (三冠王) and (50) ________ himself an irreplaceable place in Reds history.Ⅳ. Cloze (15)Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It did take me quite a while to start noticing Dr. Yuval Noah Harari’s well-received book: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (人类简史). I bought the book after I heard Dou Wentao (a renowned TV hose) mention it on his podcast, and to be frank, I read the first chapter with little (51) ________. But it turned out to be the best book I read in 2017.While I was immediately (52) ________ the book kept evolving as I read it. The book began with a brief introduction of the lives and activities of the earliest proto-humans (原始人)---Neanderthals (尼安德特人), Homoerectus (直立人) and early Homo Sapiens (智人)---and then (53) ________ an examination of why it was theHomo sapiens, after hundreds of thousands of years of surviving but pretty much existing in the middle of the food chain, (54) ________ rocketed to the top of it without ant significant genetic changes, conquered multiple climates, and eventually domesticated the world around them from farm animals to crops. And Harari includes an interesting but fairly (55) ________ argument about the true nature of our relationship to our most necessary crop---wheat.Think for a moment about the (56) ________ Revolution from the viewpoint of wheat. Ten thousand years ago wheat was just a wild grass, one of many, confined to a small range in the Middle East. All of a sudden, within just a few short millennia, it was growing everywhere.So how did this grass turn from insignificant to ubiquitous (到处存在的)? Wheat did it by manipulating (操纵) Homo sapiens to its advantage. This ape had been living a fairly comfortable life (57) ________ and gathering until about 10,000 years ago, but then began to (58) ________ more and more effort in cultivating wheat. Then, humans in many parts of the world were doing little from dawn to dusk (59) ________ taking care of wheat plants.However, the body of Homo sapiens had not evolved for cultivating wheat. Therefore human spines, knees, necks and arches paid the price. Moreover, the new agricultural tasks demanded so much time that people were forced to settle (60) ________ next to their wheat fields. This completely changed their way of life. We did not (61) ________ wheat. It’s the other way around. One of the most important and sustained ideas running through the book is that what ultimately (62) ________ Homo sapiens from all other creatures---other mammals, other apes, and even other “humans”like Neanderthals---was not our opposable thumbs or some other (63) ________ standards, but instead it was our ability to generate (生成), believe in and act upon what Yuval Noah Narari calls “myths” or “(64) ________” (essentially ideas and cultural institutions), particularly on a large scale and collective basis, which eventually transformed us from creatures that lived in small, loosely-organized groups (the typical feature of most apes) to our modern status.Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a fascinating ambitious and difficult-to-summarize book that is also just highly (65) ________. So as senior high school students, you won’t experience too much difficulty following the author’s train of thoughts. And I strongly recommend you to indulge (纵情于) yourself in this well-written book.Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari’s mind-blowing book:Sapiens: A brief history of Humankind51.

Reading comprehension (32)Section A (24)Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Wechat, but I have to admit that it is exactly co rrect for me. Here’s how it works.Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.●Longer ring finger: The Sweet TalkerIf your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.●Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident OneIf your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even tothe point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (内向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.●Index and ring finger are of the same length: The PeacemakerIf your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!66. Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?67. We can learn from the passage that the author ________.A. is very charming and helpfulB. always tries hard to avoid a fightC. often takes silly tests on FacebookD. thinks the descriptions suit him well68. What does the passage intend to tell us?A. How accurate the description of the test is.B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.D. Personality is determined by your finger length.69. Where can you probably find the text?A. A popular magazine.B. An official report.C. A public advertisement.D. A biology textbook.(B)In a time when too much emphasis has been attached to utilitarianism (功力主义), it doesn’t come as a surprise to me that we people no longer believe in poetry. Utility is now often the standard of what one should devote his or her time and energy to and what he or she shouldn’t, but don’t get me wrong. I am not saying or stating that one should not consider utility at all when making crucial decisions. On the contrary, everyone should take it into account. Medicine, law, business and engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance and love, these are what we stay alive for.My dad once told me that “life is suffering,”, which now I think is probably a unanimous (无异议的) opinion among most people. With a tough life inevitably comes a tough language---and that is what poetry is and why poetry is needed. It offers people a way to talk about the difficult-to-describe things in life, like death, suffering, profound joy and transformation. So whenever I hear someone say that poetry is not a must, or it’s an option, or it’s only for the educated middle classed, I suspect that he or she must have had things pretty easy.But how can people live without poetry when poetry is nothing but a ceaseless flow of genuine human emotions? /unlike what the academics may tell you, my suggestion about bring poetry into your lives is that don’t analyze it and don’t ask others to analyze it. Don’t deconstruct it or try to make meaning of it. Just find the poems that wake you up, that make you feel as if you’ve submerged (沉浸) yourself in a mineral hot spring or an ice bath. Find the poems that make you feel almost irrational joy or sadness. Find the poems that make you want to roll around in them or paint their colors all over your bedroom ceiling. Those are the poems you want to play with. Find the poems that communicate with the deepest parts your being and welcome them in.If finding others’ poems no longer satisfies you, compose your own! You don’t have yo be a poet to compose poetry. After all, poetry is not a luxury only for members desire or genuine willingness to vent feelings. It’s about searching for the real meaning of life and also about giving meaning to life. Just like Walt Whitman’s “O Me! O Life!”, a poem that ends by speaking directly to its readers: “the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse,” poetry is about everyone. And now I want to ask you the mother of all inspirational questions; “What will your verse be?”Inspired by Jeanette Winterson’s book:Why Be Happy When You Could be normal?70. The author thinks that poetry is very important for human beings because it ________.A. has nothing to do with the shared belief in utilityB. symbolizes a status as an educated middle classC. offers a medium for describing hard experiencesD. reveals a fundamental truth that life isn’t all roses71. To appreciate poetry by academic standards, one should first ________.A. deconstruct and making meaning of itB. enjoy a mineral hot spring or an ice bathC. paint it over his or her bedroom ceilingD. get consumed by irrational joy or sadness72. The author quoted Walt Whitman’s poem “O Me! O Life!” to emphasize that ________.A. only a true poet can write poemsB. no poem can appeal to everyoneC. life feels just like a powerful playD. every human is entitled to poetry73. The best title for the text may be ________.A. Composing PoetryB. Poetry for LifeC. The Art of poetryD. Analyzing poetry(C)A scene from China’s biggest soap opera last year, Ode to Joy Season 2, has triggered much discussion on whether virginity is still a prized asset for women in “modern” China. In the scene, Qiu Yingying, a young but naive character, holds a dinner party to introduce her boyfriend to her friends, but the evening turns dramatic after her neighbour accidentally exposes her past relationship. Her boyfriend, Ying Qin, storms off, furious, expressing his thought that having sex before marriage is a moral spot for a woman.However controversial the show is, it does reveal a universal phenomenon that sex education in China is often relatively backward and of minor significance. Parents very rarely share information about sex with children. What almost all parents do, however, is to warn their children, especially daughters not to have any dates before they graduate from university, fearing that they get hurt or become pregnant. There are stories of biology teachers skipping details of the reproductive system in class and ask students to learn it by themselves. Chinese communities also traditionally expect virginity before marriage.Ren Yi, a student from East China Normal University, said it was perfectly reasonable for a boyfriend who was a virgin himself to require his girlfriend to be so. The only problem, she said, was if it was a double standard and the man expected virginity from a woman but not himself.The issue was also being discussed by her university classmates in WeChat. Someone questioned why there wasn’t gender equality when it came to virginity, but another said she couldn’t accept Ying Qin’s comment on women who had sex before marriage.While some still concentrate on virginity itself, others have shifted the focus of this debate.Zhu Pingping, a Shanghai-based English teacher, commented that even debating the topic was old-fashioned in the 21st Century. She thought it was “disgusting” for the show to make an issue of it in modern cities, women are more independent and liberated, she said.Her husband, Shen Peng, also a teacher, added that not everyone will and can advance with the times as he or she ages and some even want to restore the so-called traditional Chinese virtues of being a woman (女德), which from his perspective has long been used as a means to oppress women both physically and mentally throughout the history.“Teaching students knowledge about sex doesn’t mean we encourage them to eat the forbidden fruit. Actually, it is just the opposite, because only when sex---like other aspects of lives---is dealt with frankly and appropriately in the educational process can the healthy growth of children raised in it be truly encouraged,” he said.74. Which one of the following might be Wrong according to the first two paragraphs?A. The TV series Ode to Joy Season 2 has brought female virginity to attention.B. Qiu Yingying’s relationship has been buried with her previous romance revealed.C. Parents and teachers tend to avoid answering questions about sex from children.D. Sex education in China has weighed strongly in the current educational system.75. It can be learned from the three interviewees’ opinions that ________.A. a double standard encouraged in attitudes towards virginity is allowedB. the topic on virginity is still worth public discussion in the present dayC. keeping pace with the times is not necessarily a natural outcome of ageD. teaching students sex is likely to lead them to have sex at an early age76. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Measures to advocate sex educationB. Historical evidence of female oppressionC. Professional comments on the showD. Examples to illustrate the virginity issue77. The author’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A. introduce a popular TV dramaB. explain a universal phenomenonC. criticize the current educationD. arouse people’s food for thoughtSection B (8)Directions:In the article, 4 sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable ones from the list A-AC to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There are TWO which do not fit in any of the gaps.(D)The Museum of InnocenceLove and Madness in IstanbulIt’ s all an elaborate (详尽的) and precisely constructed lie: a museum built to tell the story of a self-referential book created around the contents of the soon-to-finish museum. A tale of love and loss, but mainly madness, which is entirely fictional but in which the very real author plays a central narrative role. It is the Museum of Innocence.The story focuses on the character of Kemal (凯末尔) and his love for a beautiful shop girl and distant cousin Fusun (芙颂). Kemal’s story is one of lust, obsession and eventual ruin. Were the character real. I expect that most of us would distance ourselves from him in the same way that Istanbul’s high society do in the novel. (78) ________. And this is especially the case when one reads through Kemal’s story of madness and presents himself or herself in the collection of objects that represent Kemal’s love and loss.The museum follows the narrative of the book precisely presenting 83 displays that each reflects one of the book’s 83 chapters to accompany the storyline (79) ________. In this case, as in many, the items that we accumulate in our lives are the reminders to help us recall those memories.(80) ________. Mounted on the ground floor is a display of 4,213 cigarette stubs, each noted with a time or date or comments speaking to the very moment it touched her hands, her lips, and so became a part of her story.Though it’s hard to match the visual appeal of that first display, representing chapter 68 of the book, thecombination of sights and sounds throughout the three-story museum evokes (换起) the story in a way that reading alone couldn’t hope to do. (81) ________. You could surely visit the museum without having read the book or give it a read with no intention to visit the museum but, frankly, you shouldn’t pick up a copy a month or two before a trip to Istanbul, and give yourself the pleasure of experiencing the story twice in different forms.If, like Kemal, you find yourself longing for some tangible physical reminder of the experience? Not to worry, there’s a well-stocked gift shop full of small souvenirs and Orhan Pamuk’s other works.Ⅵ. Translation (18分)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.82. 您什么时间方面来取一下您的体检报告? (convenient)83. 一个合格的大学生应当有着良好的英语运用能力。

The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station's competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar "experiment" organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a $$lie~detector$$（测谎仪） test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an $$astrologer$$（占星家） who declared that they were suited.The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine's mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell's parents are reported to be less than delighted.Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, "We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love."The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a year's free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre of Birmingham, and a car. But will it last?(1) How did the couple's parents react to the wedding?A. The bride's mother shared their joy.B. The bride's father felt uncomfortable about the wedding.C. The bridegroom's parents were quite delighted.D.

When the fragments（碎片）. landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs（恐龙） were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct, Will we meet the same end?(1) Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094?A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.B. All the coastal cities in African are destroyed.C. The whole mankind becomes extinct.D. The visit of the comet results in wars.(2) Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?A. Because they could only live in the warm climate.B. Because they once dominated the earth.C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.(3) In writing the passage, the author intends to.A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the futureB. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyedC. tell the historical development of the EarthD. warn of a possible disaster in the future(4) It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a（n）.A. horror storyB. news reportC. research paperD. article of popular science35、【来源】 2002年高考真题上海卷（C篇）第79~81题2020~2021学年江苏苏州工业园区苏州工业园区星海实验中学高二上学期开学考试理科（A篇）第21~23题6分(每题2分)Passport ControlIf you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring（转换） to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs（海关）immediately after leaving your plane.

When he came to analyse their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. "The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer, "explains the professor. "People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got $$reversed$$（颠倒） in the programme. "About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these "programme assembly failures".Twenty percent of all errors were "test failures"—primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where hisgarden jacket and boots were kept, put them on—much to his surprise. A woman victim reported: "I got into the bath with my socks on."The commonest problem was information "storage failures". People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.The research so far suggests that while the "central processor" of the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be "captured"by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.(1) The purpose of Professor Reason's research is.A. to show the difference between men and women in their reasoningB. to classify and explain some errors in human actionsC. to find the causes which lead to computer failuresD. to compare computer functions with brain workings(2) Which of the following might be grouped under "programme assembly failures"?A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.C. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.(3) The word "verifying" in paragraph 3 can be replaced by.A. improvingB. changingC. checkingD. stopping(4) According to the passage, the information "storage failures" refer to.A. the destruction of information collecting systemB. the elimination of one's total memoryC. the temporary loss of part of one's memoryD. the separation of one's action from consciousness四、翻译句子37、【来源】 2002年高考真题上海卷第86题翻译当时，那位出租车司机别无选择，只能求助于游客。

cooperation,discipline,leadership,and self-control.Third,youth sport programs are(29) _______for the learning of motor skills(运动技能);these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport(30) _______.When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport(31) _______design youth-sport programs,they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama(2006)states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth(ages nine to eighteen)increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females.Côté(2002)defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment.These activities are4regulated by flexible rules(32) _______from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult.Children(33) _______change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level.For example,children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment(e.g.in the street.on a playing field or in someone’s backyard).When(34) _______in deliberate play activities,children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior(whether they win or lose)than with the behavior(having fun).On the other hand,Ericsson(1993)suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice.Deliberate practice activities require effort,produce no immediate rewards,and are(35) _______by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment.When individuals are involved in deliberate play,they experiment with different combinations of behaviors,but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance.In contrast,when(36) _______are involved in deliberate practice,they exhibit behavior.focused on improving performance by the most effective means available.For example,the backhand skill in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations.However,players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although the drills used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The2012London Olympics had enough problems to worry about.But one more has just been added-a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun,scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in2012,just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw5billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth,causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and Internet links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth.The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites,"said Professor Richard Harrison,head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle,violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射)occur in the Sun's atmosphere,throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter."A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometers per hour.Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount,can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications,"Professor Harrison added.The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America,NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory(SDO),which will take images of the Sun that are10times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares(太阳耀斑)and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away,the lab's director,said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning,we'll be able to reduce the damage.What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem,"he said.37.The phrase"communications blackout"in Paragraph1most probably refers to________during the2012Olympics.A.the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB.the collapse of broadcasting systemsC.the transportation breakdown in LondonD.the destruction of weather satellites38.What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?6A.The most fatal matter from the coronal falls onto Earth.B.The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C.It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D.The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.39.According to the passage,NASA will launch a satellite to________.A.take images of the solar systemB.provide early warning of thunderstormsC.keep track of solar activitiesD.improve the communications on Earth40.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Solar Storms:An Invisible KillerB.Solar Storms:Earth Environment in DangerC.Solar Storms:Threatenting the Human RaceD.Solar Storms:Human Activities to Be Troubled(B)Elixirwritten by Eric WaltersTwelve-year-old Roth becomes a friend of Dr.Banting and his assistant,Mr.Best, who are in search of a cure for diabetes(糖尿病).She finds herself torn between her sympathy for the animals being experimented on and her friendship with Banting and Best.George Washington Carverwritten by Elizabeth MacleodMeet the"Peanut specialist",George Washington Carver,the inventor and professor who made over325 products out of peanuts.Through his agricultural research,he also greatly improved the lives of countless black farmers in the southern Unite States.

At least until spring arrived,by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed,don’t worry:I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since1818,the people of Zurich, Switzerland,celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April,the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung six times,representing the passing of winter,the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes,winter is considered officially over--the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.45.According to the passage,why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A.People thought of snow as holy art supplies.9B.People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C.Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D.Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.46.“The heyday of the snowman”(paragraph4)means the time when______.A.snowmen were made mainly by artistsB.snowmen enjoyed great popularityC.snowmen were politically criticizedD.snowmen caused damaging floods47.In Zurich,the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes_______.A.the start of the paradeB.the coming of a longer summerC.the passing of the winterD.the success of tradesmen48.What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A.They were appreciated in historyB.They have lost their valueC.They were related to moviesD.They vary in shape and sizeV.Translation(15%)49.去年以来，这种商品的价格保持不变。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what’s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t __41__ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.“The sense that your personal life is __42__ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger，director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that，it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more __43__, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚初), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to __44__ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The __45__ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We c an start with trying to __46__ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”With kids in __47__ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they __48__.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best __49__ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation a bout your kid’s __51__ way of being in and contributing to the world.”In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be __52__ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are,how they related to others and what life is has been __53__.By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about __54__.” But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have __55__, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.【答案】41-45：BCADA 46-50：DCABA 51-55：CDDBC【解析】41.A. intend B. mean C. remain D. hope分析：结合文章可知，大人可能不会回答，并不意味孩子没有问题，故选B42.A. significant B. decisive C. meaningful D. useful分析：be meaningful to sb.对某人是有意义的，故选C43.A. confident B. cautious C. intelligent D. special分析：结合前文更健康，更积极，更自信，故选A44.A. discover B. present C. memorize D. solve分析：帮助孩子并不意味着解决神秘45.A. trick B. occupation C. address D. promise分析：trick更符合文意46.A. look for B. pick up C. deal with D. figure out分析：结合句意理解我们今天，现在，以后将要做的，故选D47.A. junior B. advanced C. elementary D. senior分析：随着孩子们在小学，故选C48.A. make a differenceB. spare no effort C. take the initiative D. make a living分析：结合前文生活很重要，他们也会产生影响，故选A49.A. specialties B. qualities C. features D. performances分析：结合句意可知是最好的品质和长处是什么50.A. appreciated B. prepared C. understood D. well-known分析：与better相对应的，A答案最为合适51.A. apparent B. smart C. unique D. appropriate分析：结合句意，开始一个对话，关于孩子的一个独特看法52.A. generally B. eventually C. impossibly D. completely分析：结合句意可知是完全不同的53.A. improving B. strengthening C. appearing D. changing分析：结合文章生活是不断变化的54.A. truth B. purpose C. positivity D. contribution分析：关于目的的想法55.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year heralded a new era for climate action. For the firs t time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global warming well below2℃.This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Sc ientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.On the flip side, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African of small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.The Pairs agreement has been widely hailed as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as sketchy.The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below”2℃is commendable but the emissions-reduction pledges submitted by countries leading up to the Pairs talks are very unlikely to deliver on this.More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds, and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningfulmobilisation of the polices outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emission reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change.And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants or pioneers.56. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because__________.A) it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nationsB) it aims to keep temperature rise below 2℃ onlyC) it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countriesD) it burdens developed countries with the sole responsibility.57.Why do es the author compare the “forced riders” to second-hand smokers?A) They have little responsibility for public health problems.B) They are vulnerable to unhealthy environmental conditions.C) They have to bear consequences they are not responsible for.D) They are unaware of the potential risks they are confronting.58.What does the author say about the $100 billion funding?A) It will motivate all nations to reduce carbon emissions.B) There is no final agreement on where it will come from.C) There is no clarification of how the money will be spent.D) It will effectively reduce greenhouse emissions worldwide.59. What urgent action must be taken to realize the Paris climate agreement?A) Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative.B) Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts.C) Pushing the current world leaders to come to a consensus.D) Putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once.【题型】阅读理解【年份】2016年12月六级考试仔细阅读（巴黎气候协定）【难度】适中【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D【分析】试题分析56.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Behind most of the bad things we do to our bodies as adults, eating more than we should is the idea we carry with us from childhood. On the one hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when we finally clean up our act.If the evidence for how wrong the first idea is isn't apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage?To a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have accumulated a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with bad habits decide to turn their lives around. The heartening conclusion: the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great.The effects of some bad habits--smoking, in particular--can haunt you for decades. But the damage from other habits can be largely healed. “Any time you improve your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference from that point on”, says Dr. Jeffrey Koplan. “Maybe not right away. It's like slamming on the brakes. You do need a certain distance”.But the distance can be remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research:--A study concluded that women who consume as little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that of women who eat less than one serving of fish a month.--The day you quit smoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying from a heart attack starts to decline。

And further time in front of the TV ___22___ only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of ___23___. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes ___24___ (equal) precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers（计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easilytricked ___25___ recording steps through shaking.

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1.

A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.

上海交通附属中学2018-2019学年高二下学期开学考试英语试题(详解版)
上海交通附属中学 2018-2019 学年度第二学期高二英语摸底考试试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection A(A)There is a tendency to think of each of the arts as ___1___ separate area of activity. Many artists, however, would prove ___2___ there has always been a warm relationship between the a warm relationship areas of human activity. For example, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were especially close. Artists ___3___ (invite) to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, ___4___ sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of contemporary painters. Of the musical compositions as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky composed the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartman. ___5___ their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann’s unexpected death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, ___6___ decided to told a n exhibition of Hartmann’s work, suggested that Mussorgsky ___7___ (try) to relieve his grief by writing something in memory of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgsky’s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition ___8___ (intend) as symbols rather than representation of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade (舞曲中的行进), as the composer walks from one painting to ___9___ The music is sometimes witty and playful, sometimes almost alarming and frightening. Thought a range of surprising contrasts, Mussorgsky manages ____10____ (convey) the spirit of the artist and his work.(B)Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them ___11___ they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine ？___12___ (stare) at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe’s ___13___ (low) home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the miserydistribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe （at more than 80%）. But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots ___14___ (throw) up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. ___15___ Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage（房贷）lending and an unavoidable house-price crash--- ___16___ sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When ___17___ some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person’s lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary ___18___ (pay) off an entire house？Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We ___19___ rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations, ______20______ (make) sense.Section BRapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are ___21___ in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being ___22___.This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more ___23___ to graduates in the long term.Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most ___24___ with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership ___25___ and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.So why are soft skills so highly ___26___ for?With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students ___27___ to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their ___28___ career.Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater ---___29___ on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider ___30___ in their chosen field. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASaddleworth Moor in the north of England is a bare place. It seemed almost wired to me, then, that anyone should ___31___ the building of seven wind turbines( 风力发电机) to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them--- basically dull, unattractive to tourists and ----- ___32___ ---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another battleground in an increasingly confusing ___33___ over wind farming and the future of the planet.Typical of this confusion is hearing Professor David Bellamy ___34___ the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist had made the ___35___ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, on reflection, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist, whose main aim is to preserve natural habitats of plants and animals from destruction, rather than a(n) ___36___ on climate change. He has fought against other renewable energies that ___37___ wildlife and wildness, and has described the wind turbines as weapons of mass destruction killing birds and bats.Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued the wind farms are in fact ___38___, and are only commercially successfully because they are so heavily funded. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently , who have then gone to ___39___ nuclear power. This doesn’t take into account years of ___40___ from Greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and dangerous. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ___41___ by a leading green scientist , Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the firstto draw attention to the problem of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.And so it goes on. There are so many ___42___ claims, each apparently fronted by some outstanding scientists and backed up by a lot of statics. So who’s actually right? What’s the right solution? What ___43___ me is that we will take so long in deciding that it will be too late. The damage will have been done. Yet what I also ___44___ is how convenient these conflicting arguments are. We can avoid making any changes to our personal lifestyles by just doing nothing. Global warming isn’t down to me going to Barcelona by air for the weekend or having a dishwasher or driving everywhere; no, it’s because those people in Saddleworth won’t let us build our ___45___!31. A. take over B. call for C. look into D. object to32. A. vice versa B. or rather C. above all D. to date33. A. debate B. concern C. advantage D. control34.

A. relieves B. amazes C. disappoints D. worries44. A. predict B. recognize C. question D. ski45. A. wind farms B. power plants C. animal habitats D. nuclear engines SectionBAEvery April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here."And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches str etch out in unpruned（未经修剪的）abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple.Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You’re not cutting it down, are you?" she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don’t kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of b oth acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn’t help recalling Robert Frost’s words:The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, "We need to prune that apple tree again."46. By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that _____.A. he feels relievedB. he feels blueC. he is surprisedD. he is tired47. The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to _____.A. be regarded as a delight in the neighborhoodB. have been abandoned by its original ownerC. have been neglected by everyone in the communityD. be appealing only to the author48. According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches?A. They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree.B. They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the treeC. They were concerned about the safety of the treeD. They wanted to get to know the author49. It can be inferred that the author’s neighbor mentioned in the last paragraph most cared about _____.A. when spring would arriveB. how to pass the long winterC. the neighborhood gatheringD. the pruning of the apple treeBUniversity Shotokan Karate ClubLearn Karate—self-defense and fitnessThe university karate club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt.TUESDAY AND THURSDAY6.00—8.00 p.m.WEA VER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health andself-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are impro ved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt.50. The passage is mainly intended to_________.A. tell readers the benefits of KarateB. attract readers to join the clubC. encourage people to get their black beltD. correct people’s misunderstand of Karate51. What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club?A. More men than women have been its members.B. It tests members to see what level they are at.C. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons.D. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week.52. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Karate is true?A. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others.B. It invo lves people’s arm muscles more than body musclesC. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally.D. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.CSpeaking in ClicksClick sounds, such as those found in some languages in Africa, make perfectly good consonants. So why do they appear so rarely in most human speech? One culprit may be anatomy(骨骼).Previous studies have suggested that in some speakers of click languages, the alveolar ridge(齿龈) the rounded bump between the upper teeth and the roof of the mouth-is small or even absent. In recent research, Scott Moisik of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Dan Dediu of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, built biomechanical models that simulated clicks in vocal tracts(声道) with alveolar ridges of varying sizes. Their results, published in January in the Journal of Language Evolution, showed a clear disadvantage for tracts with large edges. These allowed less air to be trapped in the mouth, requiring more muscular force to produce a click.The authors interpret this finding as support for an anatomical bias against clicks. They believe the bias is probably weak at the individual level; people with large alveolar ridges can still learn click consonants or that their pronunciations may be wrong. Amplified over generations, this bias might explain why such consonants are so rarely found in language worldwide.These results are not the first to challenge the traditional premise among linguists that language evolution is largely immune to external factors. Several other researchers have recently argued that geographical context, environmental conditions and genetics could all play a role. But Moisik and Dediu’s work goes a step further by singling out a single feature of human anatomy and quantifying its contribution to a particular type of speech sound.Susanne Fuchs, senior researcher at the Leibniz Center of General Linguistics in Berlin, who was not involved in the work, says the study’s conclusions are valid. But she cautions that they may present a chicken-and-egg problem: “The palate( 味蕾) shape of an individual matures from early childhood to puberty and , may be affectedby frequent productions of clicks,” Fuchs says, “Therefore, over the course of h istory, it may well be that vocal tract properties and click productions developed in parallel.53. The underlined word “one culprit” in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. something that must cause sufferingB. something that may be the causeC. something that could be concludedD. something that never happened before.54. According to the findings by Moisik and Dediu, who can make click sounds easily?A.People with a small or absent alveolar ridge.B. People with strong muscles inside the mouthC. People with a normal alveolar rid.D. People with a large alveolar ridge. 55. Which of the following statements is true? A. People with large alveolar ridges cannot learn click language. B. Having less air trapped in the mouth makes it easier to produce a click. C. Both Moisik and Dediu believe that language evolution is largely independent of external factors. D. Language evolution may be subject to geographical context, environmental conditions and genetics.56. What is Susanne Fuchs most likely to agree with?A. The conclusions of the study by Moisik and Dediu are unreliable.B. V ocal tract properties and click productions might evolve at the same time.C. Frequent productions of clicks decide the palate shape of an individual.D. The palate shape of an individual decides whether one can produce click sounds.DVisit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you had not planned to buy. But hunger is not the only culprit behind such purchases. The location of store displays also influences our shopping and may make or break some healthy eating habits.The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks-and a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can shift customer behavior. A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves for example, In2014 Norwegain and Icelandic researcher likewise found that replacing unhealthy items with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minutes sales of healthier foods.These findings caught the attention of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to stock and promote consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department. “Making healthy food more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s dense urban checkout areas, so they recruited three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. They gave one checkout line in each store a healthy makeover, replacing candy, cookies and other processed snacks with fruit , nuts and similar items containing 200 or fewer calories per serving. Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 precent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious items more than twice as often as those in the standard lines –and they bought unhealthy items 40 percent less often. The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential impact may seem small, but Adjoian believes that converting more checkout lines would open customers’ e yes to nutritious, lower-calories foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout areas throughout New York City.57. The word “ culprit” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to _____in the passage.A. something to blameB. something related to cultureC. something that resultsD. something concealed58. The findings of the 2012 study and the 2014 study proved that _____.A. shops put great emphasis on increase in last-minute sales of food.B. healthier options were rarely seen in company canteens or in supermarket.C. customers’ shopping behavior could be changed by what is easily available.D. sugary and salty snacks were among the most common items in checkout areas.59. Why does the writer say “ the potential impact may seem small” in the last paragraph?A. Only a little attention has been drawn to Adjoian’s researchB. Only several healthy items are displayed and then purchased.C Only three Bronx supermarkets have been involved in the study.D. Only a small proportion of shoppers buy things from checkout areas.60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Behavior that MattersB. Healthy See, Healthy DoC. Changing Checkout AreasD. Shoppers and Their NeedsSection CHow to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.___61___. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions , the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated . “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t have access(机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. ___62___. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener(过滤器)”. But this can’t be wholly reliable , and the bes t thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet.___63___A few other tips●Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.●___64___●Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.●And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.A. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go.B.

To test their skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑犯), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seco nds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thoug ht it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman fel t disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second la dy the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would r ecognize him. The second lady giggled, flipped her hair, and s aid, “Ha! It's easy to find the oneeared person!” Her answer al so made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he as ked, “This is your suspect, and how would you recognize him ?” He added quickly, “Think hard before giving a stupid answe r.” The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a momentand said, “Hmm...the suspect is wearing contact lenses (隐形眼镜).” The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know himself if the suspect wore contacts or n ot. “Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes w hile I check his file.” He left the room and went to his office, ch ecked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a b eaming smile. “Wow! I can't believe it...It's TRUE! The suspec t does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?”“That's easy, ”the blo nde replied, “He can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!”1. Which of the following cannot conclude from the passage t hat detectives should have?A. They must be humorous.B. They must be pretty.C. Their observation must be keen.D. They must be good at thinking.2. According to the passage we can infer that________.A. the picture was just a side of the suspectB. the suspect was easy to be recognizedC. the suspect must be a disabled personD. the suspect was caught by the policeman3.

He worked very hard and r eally wanted to take a holiday.He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Goo d prices.”“This sounds like a good idea,” he thought. “I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. Th ey'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.”Four days later he returned home.“What's wrong with Willow Farm?”His friend Jack asked him. “Didn't you enjoy country life?”“Country life was fine,” Alan said, “but there was another problem.”“Oh,what?”“Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”“Fresh meat is the best.”“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”“Lucky you!”“You don't understand,” Alan said.“On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”“A different roast every day, ”Jack said.“Let me finish,” Alan said, “on the fourth day the farmer died a nd I didn't dare to stay for dinner!”4. Alan decided to spend his holiday at Willow Farm because ________.A. he lived near thereB. he thought it would make a change from sitting by the seas ideC. he had a good friend thereD. he wanted to enjoy the fresh air in the country5. Alan usually spent his holiday ________.A. in the countryB. in the mountainsC. on an islandD. by the seaside6. How many days did he stay on the farm?A. A few days.B. Four days.C. A week.D. Three days.7. What made Alan return so soon?A. He fell ill.B. The air there was not fresh.C. He was afraid that they would have the dead man for dinne r.D. The prices were too high.COne of the simplest and the most effective forms of communic ation involves nothing more than the movement of facial musc les. What am I talking about? Smiling! Everyone understands what a smile means, and everyone also understands what a fr own means. In fact, these two basic facial expressions can be recognized across countries, across the world and across the globe, regardless of the language spoken or the culture lived in.Hugs are so beautiful! When you give someone a hug or som eone comes up and gives you a hug, this simple act of a hug can “speak” volumes about how much you care for the other p erson, how much love you want to share with the other perso n, how much you have missed the other person. This hug has so much to say, and yet there never has to be any words spo ken.And, who needs to say the words “yes” or “no” when a move ment of the head says the same thing. These basic examples show just how powerful body language can be. Just knowing how to read and use body language effectively, makes it reall y easy to see why it is not always a bad thing to be lost for wo rds.Body language in the world of love is a very common thing an d sometimes the only thing. And, most of the time, body langu age is the very first words “spoken” before any words are. The old saying is “love at first sight”, not “love at first word”. Acros s a crowded room, their eyes meet and linger, he winks at her , and she raises an eyebrow. The connection is made without any words needed. These displays of body language say it al l. In fact, sometimes they can say more than words can.8. How many kinds of body language are mentioned in the firs t two paragraphs?A. Three.B. Two.C. Four.D. Five.9. The author thinks it isn't a bad thing to be lost for words be cause________.A. silence is usually better than wordsB. body language can save much timeC. too many words may bring some troubleD. body language can be more effective10. The last paragraph talks about body language used______ __.A. between two good friendsB. between two people in loveC. between family membersD. between close relatives11. Which word can best describe body language according t o the passage?A. Necessary.B. Powerful.C. Important.D. Wonderful.DMadame Tussaud's Wax (蜡) Museum, LondonMadame Tussaud's Wax Museum was first set up in Paris in 1770, moved to in 1802 and moved to its present address in 1884.

Reading comprehensionSection ADirection: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases markedA, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.With the sudden urge for social engagements in the modern world, many events and activities are being promoted to attract teens and adults. While adults feel out of place in a space filled with younger aged teens, teens often find themselves having to ___51___ between two extremes being presented by society: either teens decide to attend these events and are heavily pressured to”take just one sip ,” or ___52___ the popular act of drinking. The legal drinking age is currently eighteen, but the illegal drinking age is as low as zero. Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13. Unbelievably, that first drink can be th e ___53___ of a troubled life.A few reasons for teens drinking are peer pressure, enjoyment, ___54___, sadness, boredom, rebellion and insomnia. But the main reason for doing so is “to ___55___ the law.” Teenagers become ___56___ with alcoholic beverages from the moment they enter high school. That means that a large quantity of teens under the age of eighteen have used alcohol before. Teens feel as though drinking before the legal age is a big deal, so they all try to ___57___ the rest of the “legal ”society. Being a ___58___ and not following the rules is an important role of a teen’s life, though no one wants to face the consequences of being an adult.Despite the fact that it is legal for young teens to purchase alcohol, they are able to get it through their parents’ liquor cabinets, ___59___ store clerks, or older friends who purchase it for them. As we all see, it is not hard for teens to obtain alcohol. Since there seems to be no ___60___ of under age teen drinking in society, why then not just lower then drinking age? Drinking can make teens “feel good,” but this feeling lasts only for a short time. Teenagers on shows like Gossip Girl get drunk regularly, but those shows rarely ___61___ the problems alcohol can cause. Teenagers often think that drinki ng will give them more energy, but ___62___ isn’t an energy drink; it’s a depressant. Alcohol ___63___ damages the brain and body, and for this to happen at a very young age, is saddening. Drinking stimulates poorly made decisions by teens, and ___64___, many teens end up pregnant or dropping out of school. They may even get hurt or ___65___ in severe accidents caused by their being drunk.51.A cause B.choose C.avoid D.witness52.A.pick up B.deal with C.fight against D.engage in53.A.excuse B.start C.symbol D.meaning54.A.anxiety B.disorder C.imitation D.lifestyle55.A.observe B.resist C.break D.invent56.A.busy B.content C.honest D.familiar57.A.fit in with B.make up for C.catch up with D.hold on to58.A.protester B.supporter C.rebel wyer59.A.illegal B.irresponsible C.forgetful D.unsatisfactory60.A.report B.prohibition C.elimination D.measures61.A.solve B.blame C.explore D.assume62.A.water B.wine C.liquor D.alcohol63.A.constantly B.actually C.exactlyD.unexpectedly64.A.as a result B.in return C.on the contrary D.after all65.A.arrested B.cheated C.disturbed D.killedKeys: 51-55 BDBAC 56-60 DACBC 61-65 CDBADIV.

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)Martha Kostyra was born in Jersey City ,New Jersey on August3, 1941(she became Martha Stewart when she married Andy Stewart in 1961). Martha’s dad was a pharmaceutical (制药学的) salesman and her wife was a housewife and a teacher. Her were fairly strict and required their children to do plenty of housework and help around the house . Martha learned how to cook and sew from her mother .She also learned about gardening by helping her father out in the yard.When Martha was in high school , she made extra money by babysitting and organizing children’ parties . She was a bright student and attended Barnard College in New York city. She helped pay for her schooling through modeling jobs. In 1962, she graduated from Barnard with degrees in History and Architectural History.Before graduating from college, Martha married Andy Stewart. After college she and Andy traveled and Martha continued to model. Martha had her only child, a daughter named Alexis, in 1965. Two years later, Martha wanted to go to work. She got a job as a stockbroker in New York City and worked for six years.In 1971,Martha and Andy purchased a farmhouse they called Turkey Hill in Westport, connecticut. After quitting her job, Martha spent her time completely restoring the old farmhouse. She also studied how to cook and became an excellent gourmet chef. One day Martha decided to put her cooking skills to the test by opening up her own catering business. She cooked food and hosted large dinner parties and quickly became a success.Through her books and television appearances, Martha soon became famous . In the 1990s, she began to expand her business . She started a magazine called Martha Stewart Living, a popular newspaper column, and her own television show. The name Martha Stewart became a brand that was worth millions of dollars . In 1997, she formed a company called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. She was president and CEO. She took the company public in 1999, selling shares in the company.

To introduce Martha and Andy.B. To introduce Martha and her life stories.C. To show parents’ role in one’s successD.

Jake,age 7,has just lost another match and is now in tears beside the court. His sister Sally, just one year older, looks at her mother and rolls her eyes: it is hard to enjoy winning when this keeps happening. It is not an unusual situation, and it is one reason why many people argue that competition is bad for children. However,the truth is that competitive games are a valuable preparation for adult life.Games with winners and losers give children the chance to experience life’s ups anddowns .Take Jake, for example.Even though he is unhappy now, he will probably be smiling and laughing with his sister in a few minutes, just like the last time this happened . Gradually, he will learn that the world does not end when you lose a game. Eventually, he may even be able to lose with a smile on his face. This is an important lesson. Not everything in life goes the way you would like, and it is important to know how to handle disappointment t when it occurs.Children who participate in competitive games develop qualities that allow them to succeed in the complex world of adult life. For example, one of the missions of the Youth Olympic Games is to inspire young people to adopt the Olympic values, which include striving,Determination and optimism. Competition creates a desire to do better. Children have to learn to succeed in a competitive atmosphere in order to take advantage of opportunities in thefuture .Although it is possible to win by chance occasionally, people who win and keep winning work very hard to achieve their success.On the negative side,there are those who will say that competition actually encourages some values , which does happen . It is common to see sports competition in which the desire to win has replaced the desire to have fun. You may even see very young children playing violently----like the superstars they see on TV. While the bad behavior of young athletes is troubling, the problem is not the competition itself. In reality, the blame lies with the professional players who are bad role models for these children. In fact, a recent study of young athletes by the school of Physical Health Education at the University of Wyoming showed an improvement in mood after exercise, athletes were less depressed or tense.Of course, there are parents wh o argue that children of Jake’s age are too young to handle the pain of losing. But whether we like it or not, adult life is very competitive , and keeping children away from competition does them more harm than good. If children do not learn how to compete, they will be defeated by people who can. It is an unfortunate fact of life: whether ten or a hundred people want the same job, there can be only one winner .Wouldn’t you want your child to be that person?petitive games prepare children for their adult life by_______A. enabling them to know to handle life’s ups and downsB. allowing them to succeed in the complex world of adult lifeC. Ending their feeling about the world when they loseD. Helping them to smile even when they are disappointed71. The example of the Youth Olympics is meant to illustrate that_______A. Competitions develop children’s qualities to succeed in their future lifeB. the Olympic Values should be promoted among young peopleC. Taking advantages of future opportunities makes one desire to do betterD. Only by working hard to keep winning can one achieve true success72. Which really counts in sports competitions according to Paragraph 4?A. The desire to winB. The desire to have funC. Good role modelsD. An improvement in mood73. The author suggests to the parents that_______A. They should learn how to handle pain of losingB. Children should know earlier the competitive adult lifeC. They shouldn’t keep children away from competitionD. They should encourage their children to get the jobKeys: AABC(C)Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our economies, he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, confident that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve lift-off?To its advocators, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is ignored in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists.There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the former, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude measure which does not take account of resource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. In its place they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), acomposite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person peaked in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state” economy, where the use of materials and energy is held constant.Mainstream economists are unimpressed. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction. In 2018 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong.74. Kenneth Boulding and the content of his essay at the beginning of this passage are meant to .A. point out how ignorant of nature the cowboys areB. blame human beings for their exploitation of natureC. ask people to take seriously the environment limitsD. introduce ecological economists and ecologist economics75. According to ecological economists, what is the mistake existing in conventional textbooks?A. Ecology and economics are not mixed togetherB. Human economy isn’t recognized as parts of natureC. The environment has both resources and wastesD. Diagrams connect firms, households and the government76. The comparison between GDP and GPI data in 1978 has warned us that .A. GDP is crude measure that is not worth usingB. car accident should by all means include in GDPC. we are gaining material wealth by destroying natureD. resources and energy will one day be totally used up77. Which in the following will the author probably agree?A. the aims and assumptions of economics need to be revolutionizedB. GDP and GPI should be both accepted by mainstream economistsC. Human beings can always find solutions to all the annoying problemsD. Ecological economists’ concerns about the world are worth noticing.Keys: DBCDSection CDirection: Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable sentences from theWhen tea leaves were first imported to Britain in the 17th century, only a few could afford them. By the 18th century it had become the democratic drink of the everyman; but afternoon tea as a distinct ceremony, complete with pastries, was a Victorian invention.78 . The gradual infiltration of American coffee culture also played a part, as did the rise of women in the workforce (less than for sipping), the widening range of social haunts and the ebbing of formality (the Ritz still bans jeans and “sports shoes”).79 . Caffeine-free black tea and onion bread are recent additions to the menu. A century ago the Ritz was one of the few places an unmarried young woman could meet a man without a chaperone, says Ms. Simpson; women still dominate the tea guests, but most now leave their menfolk behind. And the quintessentially British experience is typically served by tall-coated waiters from continental Europe.Such luxury at a time of economic depression may be surprising. But tea seems to be an austerity-era way to splash out. At ￡42 ($67) a head, tea at the Ritz is a small part compared with lunch, let alone a room. 80 “Tea is a celebratory meal but it’s often cheaper and doesn’t take as long”, says Christina Norton.And the afternoon tea fashion is trickling down. For less grand hotels, it is a neat way to fill a formerly dead zone in mid-afternoon. 81 . The Great British Bake Off, a television programme devoted to cupcakes and crumpets, recently ended a second series. Sales of cookie cutters, cake stands and “vintage-style cake tins” have shot up, according to a department store. A pottery firm says tea, “the big thing of the moment”, has received demand for its wares. Times may be tough, but Britons are still eating cake.Keys: C;AB;B;DIV.

上海市曹杨第二中学2020-2021学年高二上学期英语期末考带讲解
考查形容词比较级。句意：那么，什么风险更大一点呢？根据句意可知，本句话是在问到底是大流行病和火鸡事故哪个更有风险，所以空处要用比较级，risky的比较级有两种，riskier和more risky。故填riskier/more risky.
【10题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：而那些选择与亲人欢聚一堂过圣诞节的人也会这么做，因为他们知道，家庭关系是解决今年诸多灾难的最佳方法之一。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词，空处需要用非谓语做状语，和主句的主语之间为主谓关系，所以用现在分词表主动。故填knowing。
A. commercial
B. reducing
C. conduct
D. orbit
E. lunar
F. measures
G. unmanned
H. programme
I. powerful
J. potentially
K. range
China’s new Long March-8 rocket makes first flight
【2题详解】
考查连词。句意：最近的一项民意调查显示，即使是那些原本计划举行大型家庭庆典的人，也比上个月更为谨慎。根据前面的warier（为wary的比较级）“更谨慎的”可知，是和上个月的情况进行比较。than“比”，作为连词引导比较状语从句。故填than。
【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Axios Ipsos民调发现，近71%的美国人现在认为“亲自参加家庭以外的朋友和家人聚会”有很大或中等风险。be associated with“和……有联系”，分析句子结构可知，句中已经有谓语动词，空处有用非谓语动词做定语，所以去掉be动词，用过去分词做定语。故填associated。
