For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the Over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door—“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.49. Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because_________.A.she worked at a club on the dayB. she had visitors on ThursdayC.she visited a club on ThursdayD. a special visitor came on Thursday50. What does the expression “a master key" In Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. A key to all the doorsB. A key only to the woman’s door.C. A key only its master can useD. A key not everyone can use51. On the third Thursday Mrs. Clarke went out ________.A. because she didn’t want to miss the club againB. to see if the thief was wandering outsideC. to the club but then changed her mindD. in an attempt to trick the thief52. The lock on the front door was one which_________A.needed a piece of wire lo open itB.could be opened from inside without a keyC.couldn’t be opened without a keyed a handle instead of a key(B)It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step."Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow."Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa."They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said "Thank you." They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job-these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of smallsandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.53. Why did the writer let the children in?A.She showed great pity on them.B.She had old papers to sell.C.She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast.D.She wanted them to see how rich she was.54.The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because_________.A.she saw that the lady's room was comfortableB.she saw the cups matched the saucersC. the writer’s slipcovers were very newD. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry55.From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on __________.A.how much money you have hadB. how you feel about your lifeC. how you have helped othersD. what job your husband is doing56. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to_________A. show her husband that someone had comeB.remind her that she had helped two childrenC.remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhoodD.remind her how life should be( C )Ridgewood is a small, quiet town 20 miles from Manhattan. It is a typical suburban town, perfect for raising children away from the fast pace of the city. However, some Ridgewood kids feel as upset as if they were on the city’s busy streets. In addition to hours of homework, Ridgewood’s children are occupied with afterschool activities — from swimming to piano to religious classes.Out of desperation one day, the town decided to schedule another activity. This one was called “Ridgewood Family Night — Ready, Set, Relax!” Instead of schedules filled with sports, music, or overtime at the office, some of the town’s 25,000 residents decided to take the night off and stay home. For a few months before Family Night, a committee of volunteers worked hard to spread the word. Younger students took “Save the Date for Me” leaflets home to their parents. The mayor issued a statement, and schools and clubs agreed to cancel homework and meetings so families could relax and be together.The tension between a hope for a more relaxed lifestyle and the knowledge that the benchmark for success has been raised in recent years weighs heavily on the minds of the townspeople. Some parents like to recall a different kind of childhood, one without so many scheduled afterschool activities. However, these same parents feel obliged to make sure their children are prepared to survive in today’s high-pressure work environment. They are afraid that any gap in their children’s physical or intellectual development might mean they won’t be admitted to the “right” universities and won’t succeed in a more and more competitive world.Nevertheless, it seems that Family Night worked, at least to a point. Cars moved easily around Ridgewood’s normally busy downtown streets, and stores and restaurants saw a drop in business. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months.Initially, there was great hope of taking back their lives. But sadly, few families believe that one night will change their lives. Many are sure that they will fall back into the habit of over-scheduling their children to be overachieving adults.57. The writer describes Ridgewood as a town where ________.A.residents take little notice of educationB.children are stressful and over expectedC.parents are concerned about children’s safetyD.children lead a life of relaxed, ordinary rhythms58. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the Family Night?A.Schools assigned no homework.B.Fewer people ate in the restaurants.C.The streets were less crowded.D.People enjoyed meeting each other.59. According to the passage, the parents in Ridgewood ________.A.have conflicting desires about what experiences to offer their childrenB.are happy with the lifestyle they have chosen for themselves and the childrenC.believe that it is their duty to make a change for the stressful life styleD.are worried about their children’s lacking of big ambition60:We may get the conclusion from the passage that ________.A.the concept of Family Night will become a regular part of life in Ridgewood B.Ridgewood people believe the Family Night will change their way of livingC.Family Night is not as popular as people have originally thoughtD.schools are worried about students being given too much free timeSection C (4 分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. It is called the Community College Initiative Program.B. They have the same resources as students in big cities.C. Students attend classes and study at school.D. They have few resources than students in big cities.AB. And they do many hours of community service.AC. They can deepen their own languages.Last week, we reported about community colleges in the United States. Some educators say these two-year colleges may be a good choice for international students who have finished secondary school and want to study in America.Today, we tell about program at some American community colleges for students from several nations. _____61_____ it lasts one year. It is for students from areas underserved in education and skills training.Since 2007, about 2,100 students from sixty nations have taken part in the program. The Bureau of Educational Affairs of the United States State Department provides for their needs. Three consortia or organizations of community colleges administer the program with the Bureau of Educational Affairs. Schools across the country take part.Syedur Rahman is project director of the Community College Consortium led by Northern Virginia Community College. He says United States community colleges offer possibilities for foreign students whose governments can not do so. He says many students in poor, rural areas do not have an equal chance to succeed. ______62____.At the start of their stay in America, students deepen their knowledge of English, and learn about their school's surroundings. They have several fields of study to choose from, including Information Technology, Business Administration and Agriculture. Other areas open to them include the Hotel and Visitors Industries, Media and Journalism, Engineering and Health._____63______. But they also are active in other school activities.

They can complete internships at businesses from local farms to large companies.Students also give presentations about their countries to other students, and to local communities. ______64______.

2018-2019 虹口区复兴中学高三英语第一学期期中试卷英语试卷(考试时间120 分钟;满分140 分)I. L i st eni ng (略)II.Grammar and VocabularySection A第I卷(共100 分)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blacks to make the passagecoherent and grammatically correct .For the blanks with a given word ,fill in eachblack with the paper form ofthe given word: for the other blanks, use one word that best fitseach blank.In 1915,Maurice E. McLoughlin, a well-known tennis player, published an instructional autobiography 21 (call) Tennis as I Played It. Twoyears earlier, McLoughlin had become the first American finalist at the Wimbledon tournament in England and tennis fans were excited to uncover the secrets of his success. Anticipation for McLoughlin’s story grew even more in1914.Winning a number of major tournaments that year, he 22 (declare) the Number 1 tennis player in the world. When Tennis as I Play It 23 come out in 1915,no one had any reason to suspect that it might havebeen written by 24 else. However, the author of Tennis as I Playwas not McLoughlin at all, but the as-yet unknown novelist Sinclair, his ghostwriter.Why, then, is Tennis as I Play It considered the tennis player’s book?A ghostwriter is an author who writes a text that is officially credited to anotherauthor, and the history of such practices is 25 (long) than wemight expect. In other words, Tennis as I Play It was not the first famous ghostwritten book, and it won’t be the last. Ghostwriter can happen for a numberof reasons, and 26 its merits are debatable, it remains an acceptable practice in the publishing world. Some in the industry suggest that asmany as half of non-fiction books arewritten with help formghostwriter.Today, ghostwriting 27take a number of different forms. It is perhaps mostprominent in the autobiographies and memories of celebrities. Is the practice restricted 28 celebrity autobiographies and memories? No, ghostwriting is equally prominent in lesser-known spheres as well. Political speeches, for example, are often credited to the politician who delivers them, andthen that politician just reads the speech from a teleprompter. In addition, manypopular songs claim a popular singer or performer as songwriter; therefore they havebeen shaped more by a producer than by any of the credited songwriters.Ghostwriting--whether we approve of or not--is here 29 (stay).Sometimes as in the case of Sinclair Lewis, the ghostwriters will eventuallybecome famous authors in their own right. Much more often, we are moved by the writingof authors 30 names we will never learn.Section BDirections: Complete the passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be usedonce. Note that there is one word more than you need.When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of whatkind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the ageof social networking. however, first impressions are sometimes made even beforewe 31 meet someone in person--that is, by looking at theirprofile photo.According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality.In the study, resented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Weband Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania inthe US used software to 32 the profile pictures of 66,000 usersof US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a 33 between personality traits--like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism--and a person’sprofile picture. According to the results, open people are more 34 to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in theirprofile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neuroticpeople often hold back their 35 emotions. They try to avoidshowing their face; instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a caror a building. Tha t’s because neurotic people are strongly 36 by the “s trong social norm against a very sad or angry appearance in profile pictures,” Daniel Preoiuc-Pietro from the University of Pennsylvania wrote in theresearch paper.Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used inthem also give us some37 about the photo’s owner. For example, extraverts were foundto have the most colorful profile images, as they want to 38 their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.Although social media photos “usu ally represent an extension of one’s self,they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and 39 view,” acco rding to the researchers.So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first whatkind of imagewe’d like to convey. After all, first impressions always40 .III. Reading C om pr ehensi o nSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.How Arts Promote Our EconomyWhen most people think of the arts,they imagine the end product,the beautiful painting,a wonderful piece of music,or an award-winning 41 in the theater.But arts groups bring broader value to our communities.The economic impact of the arts is often 42 and badly judged.The arts create jobs that help develop the 43 .Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists,technical experts,mangers,musicians,or writers to create a(n) 44_ pieceof art.These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. “If you build it they will come”is a misleading belief.Painters,digital media experts,photographers,booking agents and promoters arehired to sell tickets and _45 the event.According to the Dallas Area Cultural AdvocacyCoalition,arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent 46 .A _47I arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect (连锁反应)t hroughout acommunity.In 2005,when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town,the locationwas considered a poor area of town.After investing more than 51 million in 48 the building,we began producing a full season of theater performances,jazz concerts,and year-round arts education programs in 2008.Nearly 40 percent of jazzlovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an eveningin the Bishop Arts District.No doubt the theater has 49the area’s development and economicgrowth.Today,there are galleries,studios,restaurants and newly built work spaceswhere neighbors share experiences,where there is renewed life and energy.50 ,arts and culture also serve as a public good.Teco Theatrical Production Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000to get nearly$40,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period.Further,Dallas arts and arts- based business produce $298 for every dollarthe city spends on arts programming and facilities.In Philadelphia,a metro areasmaller than Dallas,the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support44,000 jobs,80 percent of which actually lie _51_ the arts industry,including accountants,marketers,construction workers,hotel managers,printers,and other kinds of art workers.The arts are efficient economic 52 and when they are supported,the entire small- business community 53 .It is wrong to 54 arts groups cannot make a profit.But in orderto stay in business,arts groups must produce returns.If you are a student studyingthe arts,chances are ou have been ill- advised to have a plan B.But those who 55 understand the economic impact and can workto change the patterns can create a wide range of careerpossibilities.41.

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)Called ‘t he man who shaped America’and ‘t he father modern industrial design’,Raymond Loewy must be one of the most influential designer of all time.He revolutionized the industry,working as a consultant for more than 200 companies and creating designs for everything from packaging to refrigerators,from cars to the interiors of spacecraft.Loewy’s design all had one thing in common.They were shaped by the MAYA principle--Most Advanced Yet Acceptable.His idea was that people will not accept solutions to design problems if the solutions are too different from current designs.After a short period as a fashion illustrator,Loewy started his career in industrial design in 1929 by re-designing a copying machine for the British manufacturer,Sigmund Gestetner.The 28-years- old designer completed the task in three days and the design of the machine lasted for the next 40 years.The Gestetner duplicator was the beginning of many design which used streamlining.He described this as “beau ty through function and simplification”.He spent the next 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps and company logos to the interiors of stores.The famous Greyhound bus and Studebaker car show his use of streamlining in action.He is perhaps most famous for his re-design of the Lucky Strike packaging.In 1940,the President of the Lucky Strike Manufacturing Company,Goerge Washington Hill,be Loewy $50,000 that he could not improve the appearance of the green and red Lucky Strike.Loewy accepted the challenge.He changed the background of the packet from green to white.Then he put the red lucky strike target on both sides of the packet.This made it more eye-catching and greatly increased sales.It is now recognized as a design classic.Lowey’s logo design aimed at “Visual retention”.He wanted to make sure that anyone whosaw the logo,even fore a short while,would never forget it.He designed many highly visible logos for famous companies such as Shell Oil,Exxon,Greyhound and Nabisco.By the mid 20th century,his industrial design firm was so famous that he could say ‘t he average person,leading a normal life lose is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things,service or structur e’ designed by his firm.56. Loewy’s biggest influence was in .A.c-o/mpletely changing theindustry B.successfully shapingAmeri cans’ taste C.changingpeople’s idea about designD.building a professional designteam57. Loewy’s designs were based on the idea of .A.offering original but not revolutionary answers to problemsB.providing completely different designC.providing most immediately recognizable designsD.speeding up the design process58.

What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Loewy provided service to ordinary people.B.Loewy’s design were famous andinfluential. C.Loewy’s design firmsexisted all over the world. D.Loewy waswelcomed and respected by the public.(B)Professional sportspeople will go to extraordinary lengths to gain an edge over their opponents,But what really works?60.

D.Low oxygentents and cashew nuts.(C)Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth,a major study warned.It found many youngsters now measure their status by how much public approval they get online,often through “li ke”.Some change their behavior in real life to improve their image on theweb.The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children’s Commissioner(专员)Anne Longfield.She said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks,with some youngsters starting secondary school ill-equipped to cope with the trenmendous pressure they faced online.Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13.The youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then massaging friends--and friends of friends--to demand “likes” for their online posts.The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts quickly,and around the clock.Children aged 8 to 10 were “s tarting to feel happy”when others liked their posts.However,those in the 10 to 12 age group were “c oncerned with how many people like their posts”,sugg esting a “ne e d”for social recognition that gets stronger the older they become.Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up “worriedabout their appearance and image as a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms,and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the constant demands of social media.She sai d: “Ch ildren are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school.But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school.”As their world expanded.She said,children compared themselves to others online in a way that was “huge ly damaging in terns of their self-identity,in terns of their confidence,but also in terms of their ability to develop themselves.”Miss Longfield added: “Th en there is this push to connect--if you go offline,will you miss something,will you miss out,will you show that you don’t care about those people you arefollowing,all of those come together in a huge way at once.”“For children it is very,very difficult to cope with emotionally.”The Children’s Commissioner for England’s study--life in Likes--found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.However,the research--involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12--suggested that as they headed toward their teens,they became increasingly anxious online.By the time they started secondary school--at age 11--children were already far more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular,the report found.However,they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes,or the sense of incompetence they might feel if they compared themselves to celebrities(名人)or more brilliantfriends online.The report said they also faced pressure to respond to messages at all hours of the day--especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile phones.The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional minefield they faced online.And she said social mediacompanies must also “take more responsibility”.Th ey should either monitor their websites better so that children do no sign up too early,or they should adjust their websites to the needs of younger users.Javed Khan,of children’s charity Bamardo’s,said: “It’s vital that new compulsory age-appropriate relationship and sex education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social medi a.”“I t’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.”63. Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure?A.They were not provided with adequateequipment. B.They were not well prepared foreemotional risks. C.They were required to givequick responses. D.They were prevented fromusing mobile phones.64. Some social app companies were to blame because .A.they didn’t adequately check their user s’registration B.they organized photo trips toattract more youngsters C.they encouragedyoungsters to post more photos D.they didn’tstop youngsters from staying up late65. Children’s comparing themselves to others online may lead to .A.less friendliness to eachother B.lower self-identityand confidence C.an increase inonline cheatingD.a stronger desire to stay online66. What should parents do to solve the problem?A.c-o/mmunicate more with secondaryschools. B.Urge media companies tocreate safer apps. C.Keep track ofchildren’s use of social media.D.Forbid their children from visitingthe web.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in thebox.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.If she gets caught,she would receive a failing grade,or maybe slowingout of school. B.This uncertainty is partly because of the fact thatstandards are changing.C.Honor codes can be boasts a carrot and a stick.cators say that the simple act of students singing the honor code makesa difference. E.A culture where people are genuinely offended by cheatinghave to be built. F.Furthermore,students often do not understand exactly what constitutes cheating.Many college students today struggle with cheating.The Internet offers many temptations-- there are term papers for sale along with articles and news reports that can be copied for free with the click of a mouse.It is not surprising that cheating is sometimes difficult to resist.67 .Polly Sanders,a student at a small liberal artscollege,knows that handing in a paper from the Internet is plagiarism.But what about using a paragraph?She admits that she has often taken a paragraph and changed a few words to make it “he r” own work.That is not plagiarizing,is it?Polly may not know it,but according to her college,it is.Polly is not the only student who isn’t sure what is cheating and what is not68 .A 2001 survey by the Center for Academic Integrity shows cheating is becoming acceptable.The survey found that 41 percent of the students believe that plagiarism is common.Perhaps most worrying was the 27 percent who said that falsifying lab data happens,often or very often on campus.It is hard to believe that all of these young scientists change their ways after graduation.If students are becoming less concerned about ramification of cheating,colleges and universities are working harder to catch the cheaters.Some administrators use sophisticated computer search engines to find Internet plagiarists.However,many other colleges are using honorcodes to combat cheating.And effective honor code clearly describes the boundaries of legitimateand illegitimate work.In addition,it sets punishments for breaking it. 69“It is apsychological effect;if people expect you to be honorable,you are more likely to respond with honorable behavior”s ays O.Koehance,the President of Duke University in north Carolina.70 .They may offer students more freedom,but if they do not obey,the punishment is severe.For example the honor code at Wellesley College in Massachusetts allows students to take exams when and where they want.The students simply inform the teacher when they will e taking the exam.Then they can choose to go wherever they want.The students are trusted,But if they are caught cheating,the punishment can be severe.Some people say that simply putting in an honor code will not solve the problem,but several studies since the 1980s have shown that schools without honor codes tend to have about twice as much as cheating as those with honor codes in place.第I I 卷(共40 分)Ⅴ.

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.AA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or giving him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.46. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when parents ___________________________ .A. repeat it without any changeB. treat it as a jokeC. make some changesD. set it in the present47. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story isA. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way48. The advantage for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it__________________________ .A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe the storiesD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs49. The author mentions flying on sticks and kissing telephones to suggest that ________________________ .A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadaysBJoan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States, where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in two countries? It's an interesting story.Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio(制片厂)came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting. At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize.In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows.One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a movie called Tai-pan. The interview didn't go well. As she walked away, a man in a car noticed her. The man was Dino DeLaurntiis, the film's producer. He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she starred in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.50. What was true about Joan Chen when she was 14?A. Some people came to her school and chose her as an actress.B. She liked to study at the studio just because she wanted to be famous.C. The most important reason for her going to the studio was that she wouldn't like to stay atschool.D. She found she was fond of acting even before she was 14.51. When did she move to the States?A. In the late 1970s.B. After she graduated from college.C. In the late 1980s.D. In the early 1980s52. The interview with a director ______________________ .A. made her on the way to being famous in the worldB. led to no immediate good resultC. made her play a leading part in Tai-panD. gave her a chance to act in The Last EmperorCStudent participation(参与) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a "manager" role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.A professor's teaching method is another factor(因素) that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor's point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "practical" rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to "doing" for themselves.53. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses except in .A. science and mathematicsB. the humanities and social sciencesC. informal lecture coursesD. discussion courses54. From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society _________________________ .A. has not changed muchB. pay attention to students' studying instead of teachers' teachingC. is much more important than that of science and mathematicsD. has become more practical than theoretical55. The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that .A. these professors are often not well prepared before classB. these professors want to stress "doing"C. these professors want to test the students' abilitiesD. these professors are not willing to teach theory56. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?A. Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like social sciences.B. Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.C. Some professors usually want the students to take part in the teaching of science andmathematics.D. New educational trends have turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry. Keys: 46. CBAB 50. CDB 53. ADBBSection CDirections; Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows. During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some sadness. He said, "I never drink when I'm working—I would lose my license. "He normally goes home at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and tries to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make the money, no one is going to give it to you. "London taxi drivers not only " take" but also " give". Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi f Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again—by taxi and free of charge.Section DDirections; Read the following passage. Then answer the questions or complete the sentences according to the information given in the passage you have just read.The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending(推荐) phone call "made" by former US President George W. Bush or former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.Of course, neither of them could really do that for you—you would just "borrow" their voices. AT&T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said.Possible customers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital(电子的) files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices(装置). The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous person's voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts(合同) will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. ) And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud (假冒) , would the synthesized(合成的) voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?Even Mr Fruchterman, one of A T&T lab's possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. "Just like you can't trust a photograph any more. " he said, " you won't be able to trust a voice either. "62.What is the passage mainly about?63.With the help of the speech software, it is most possible _____________________________________ .64.If the speech software were widely used, ________________________________________________ .65.What problem might the new software cause?Keys: 57.

2018-2019学年上海市虹口区高一上英语期末
虹口区2018学年度第一学期期终学生学习能力诊断测试高一英语试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection AWhen we were kids, learning polite expressions was important. Our parents taught us to say “thank you” (16)________ we received help, and to say “please” when we needed a favour from others.(17)________ would you say “thank you” and “please” to a digital(数码的) assistant?Last month, Amazon announced it had added new features to its smart assistant Alexa, (18)________ will be available by updating a software on May 9. One of the developments – a politeness feature – addresses some parents’ concerns about their children forgetting their manners because they have become used to (19)________ (shout) orders at their Echo, a smart speaker (20)________ features the digital assistant Alexa.However, some people believe kids shouldn’t have to thank a machine, a children can tell the difference between machines and humans.When kids ask Alexa to solve a math problem using the word “please” – as in “Alexa, please tell me what 5 plus 7 is” – Alexa will not only give the correct answer, (21)________ ________ give the following response: “Thank for asking so nicely.”“I ask Siri to turn on the lights or set an alarm in the same natural language that I use in day-to-day life,” Chaim Gartenberg wrote on tech site The Verge. “It doesn’t matter that an Echo can’t hear or understand it – it (22)________ (matter) that you say it.”With the increasing use of AI (artificial intelligence), forming the habit of being polite in everyday life is becoming even (23)________ ________ (important), as the British research company ChildWise found. In January, it published a report warning that people (24)________ become used to giving orders to digital assistants without using polite expressions might become rude when dealing with others.Indeed, as German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel wrote in his 1807 book The Phenomenology of Spirit, one is worse off if they treat their machines in an undignified(不体面的) way. And father of two Manu Kumar told Quartz, “One of my criteria for determining how nice someone is (25)________ (be) by watching how they speak to a waiter.” “In a similar way, even if the AI or tech doesn’t care about it, other people around us are going to experience how we treat it.”Section BA. spreadB. formalC. chanceD. foundE. objectiveF. experienceG. economical H. respect I. need J. observing K. consistsThe idea of the youth hostel(旅社) started with one man: Richard Schirmann(1874-1961), a German school teacher, who felt that there was a (26)________ for overnight accommodation for his students in order that they could see new things and have new experiences outside the classroom. He felt that one learns by (27)________, and tried to make his dream come true in the year 1909, when he started providing accommodation for his students in inns, farmhouses and the like. The first youth hostel was opened in Schirrmann’s own school in Altena, after which it was replacd by a permanent hostel in Altena Castle. Schirrmann went on to (28)________ the German Youth Hostel Association in the year 1919. By this time, the idea of the youth hostel had (29)________ far and wide, all over the lands of Europe and further. And then, in the year 1932, a(n) (30)________ organization called the International Youth Hostel was founded in Amsterdam, which (31)________ of youth hostels from Switzerland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Britain, Ireland, France, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and Belgium. Richard Schirrmann became its chairman in 1933. The idea of the youth hostel is for young people who are on trips to get (32)________ accommodation in exchange for some money and a helping hand with the domestic chores(家务活). These hostels were said to build character and a sense of independence, as the youth who stayed in them got the (33)________ to see how other people lived as well as to help to do work. Youth hostels are also places to meet and make new friends. They have no class divisions and everyone has to do their share. Here, wealth and position does not help you gain (34)________, but friendliness does. The friendlier you are, the more you learn from the (35)________ of staying in a youth hostel.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADid you ever have someone’s name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were unable to recall it. When this happens again, don’t try to __36__ it. Do something else for a couple of minutes, until the name may come into your mind. The name is there since you have met this person and you have heard his name. It only has to be dug out. The first effort to recall __37__ the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious(潜意识的) __38__ that go to work to dig up __39__ memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost __40__ helps because it doesn’t loosen your memory; it only tightens it.In an examinations, students find the preparatory method helps. They read over the questions __41__ trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most certain. __42__, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking __43__; work is being done in the more difficult question. By the time the easier questions are answered, __44__ to the more difficult ones will usually begin to appear into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the __45__.36. A. recall B. remember C. memorize D. remind37. A. leads B. begins C. helps D. prepares38. A. deeds B. performance C. movements D. actions39. A. a light B. a fresh C. an unclear D. a dark40. A. never B. directly C. partly D. clearly41. A. after B. besides C. before D. against42. A. Meanwhile B. However C. Anyway D. Whatever43. A. place B. shape C. charge D. action44. A. questions B. problems C. proverbs D. answers45. A. world B. attention C. idea D. memorySection B(A)On the day the tornado(龙卷风) hit, there was no sign fierce weather was on its way – the sky was blue and the sun had been out. The first warning my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.Soon the tornado was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. And the wind began to roar(咆哮) through the house, most likely through blown-out windows and the door to our garage. Everything was moving. And the back wall of the house came off and flew into the darkness outside. We had three flights of steps to get to the storeroom down there, the relative safety of the first floor.I didn’t know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. As we finally reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches.By the time I reached the storeroom, the tornado had been over us for about a minute. Jimmy pushed me down to the storeroom floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I held Jimmy’s arm as the tornado blew the door open. My knees were full of glass, but I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Amazingly, none of us were seriously injured.46.Where did the couple learn about the coming fierce weather?A. From the dark sky.B. From the national TV station.C. From the local newspaperD. From the text sent by their neighbors.47.What can we infer from paragraph 2 about the couple?A. They were hit by a tree branch.B. They tried to get out of the house.C. Their garage was blown to pieces.D. Their house was badly destroyed.48.What do we know about Jimmy when the author reached the storeroom?A. He was in great danger.B. He flew out of the house.C. He was seriously injured.D. He got inside the storeroom.(B)Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average among students is about six percent.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but the degree of intimacy(亲密) and the reasons for their mutual interest vary greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on favorable first impressions. As we get to know people, we take into consideration things like age, race, physical attractiveness, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not the most important, it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a huge difference in age and background.On the next level, actual behavior, facial expression and tone of voice really matter. Friends will standcloser together and will spend more time looking at each other. Smiles and soft voices also show friendliness.Some relationships develop well on argument and discussion. It is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have common interests that they often talk about. It generally takes time to reach this point; sometimes people “click” immediately. People like to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Meanwhile, friends have to learn to accept different opinions and habits.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies. But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, age, class or race.49.The phrase “to relate to people” (para. 3) means _________.A. to meet people unexpectedlyB. to show favor for peopleC. to interact with people in a meaningful wayD. to know people with purpose50.It is believed that arguments between friends ________.A. should be avoidedB. may do harm to friendshipC. will lead to misunderstandingD. may bring about closer relationship51.According to the passage, what causes the close association between friends is _________.A. social statusB. backgroundC. shared experiences and emotionsD. physical attractiveness(C)In the United States alone, over 100 million cell phones are thrown away each year. Cell phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration(含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, thanthe material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start — for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫) that encased your television?From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.52.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that _________.A. the weight of e-goods is rather smallB. e-waste deserve to be made good use ofC. natural minerals contain more precious metalsD. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste53._______ are contained in the electronic devices.A. natural mineralsB. e-wastesC. precious metalsD. raw material54.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended ________.A. from producers to governmentsB. from governments to producersC. from individuals to distributorsD. from distributors to governments55.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The increase in e-waste.B. The creation of e-waste.C. The seriousness of e-waste.D. The management of e-waste.Section CA. But I can tell you that homeworking requires special skills like self-discipline and time management.B. Not everyone agrees with Sunjit, though.C. Are there jobs to which homeworking seems almost impossible?D. In Britain, there are 2.1 million people who work from home at present.E. I have been lucky enough to have sufficient social support.F. Other reasons for homeworking are the benefits to both employers and employees.Working-from-home Dream Now a RealitySunjit Patel is a graphic designer with a well-known publishing company. He has lived in England since he was five. He lives in South London, and for the last three years he has been working from home. Sunjit isn’t alone. __56__ In addition, about eight million people spend some time working at home rather than in an office. This is almost twice as many as ten years ago.This rapidly-growing trend towards working from home is the same in many countries. But why? The main reason is technological: easy access to broadband and the availability of phone and video-conferencing. These enable people to use their home as an office in an efficient and cost-effective way.__57__ Office space is costly, so if an organization can reduce its workstations, it may be able to move to a smaller site. Employees often work better at home: travelling to work can be very time-consuming and tiring. Many homeworkers save a lot of time if they don’t travel to work and they can start the day fresher and therefore work more efficiently.Sunjit Patel says, “I have been working from home since my son was born and have been really enjoying it. __58__ I’ve known my boss and colleagues for a long time now, which really helps because you’ve got to trust each other. You also need to have regular contact, by phone, email or video conference, and you need to make regular trips to your offices. Otherwise you really miss out on the gossip and on the social side of work.”__59__ This response to a query(询问) about homeworking was recently posted on the Internet: “The only people who can work from home are those who do an unnecessary job. Can surgeons work from home? Ambulance drivers? Firefighters? If you can work from home full-time, you have a pointless job.” Fortunately for Sunjit and the 2.1 million like him, not many people think that way!第II卷I. Translation.1.学生应当积极参与社会实践活动。
