following are some of his explanations.

Handmade items were preferred because they were thought better than items that weremass-produced.But this British style was still Victorian.It still only served the wealthiest clients.In1897a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to American.They planned a show of craft objects,which turned out to be a huge success.Here they realized the potential and established the Society of Arts and Crafts on June28,1897.Its slogan was“to develop and encourage higher standards in the handicrafts.”The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending.It emphasized handmade work. Originality and simplicity were highly valued.Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important.these traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally.They were also very elegant.The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian Opulence.The increase of mass-produced housing items was rejected.The American Craftsman used clean lines.It also relied on sturdystructure.Natural materials were always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home.New designs were made for families without servants.This was a trait of the new middle class.The kitchen went form being a hidden room to a prominent one.Another development was the breakfast nook.This new area provided the family with a place to gather at any time of day.Also,inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs.The American Craftsman style led to the Art Deco Movement of the1930s.64.According to the passage,the American Craftsman style is a type of________.A.Shaker and Mission designB.house made for families with servantsC.design which was popular from1900to the1930sD.breakfast nook65.According to Para.6,all the following are true about the American Craftsman style EXCEPT ________.A.The breakfast nook provided the family with a place to gather.B.The kitchen became a more prominent room.C.This style did not make any changes to the middle-class American home.D.Houses were designed for a new middle class with no servants.66.The word opulence in the passage is closest in meaning to________.A.richnessB.greedC.uglinessD.distaste(B)Are You a Morning Person?Mornings are not for everyone.Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief.But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours.So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts–from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros—to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant(for)even the most after-hours of night owls.1.Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four.“It’s normal to have one or two awakenings,but more than that leaves us feeling groggy in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,”[explains Shelby Harris,director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.]2.The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good.Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep!Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time.Instead,be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of shuteye,so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3.Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on-checking e-mail,scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first.“Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done,but it also leaves you with a burst ofaccomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,”says Jason Selk,co-author of Organize Tomorrow Today.4.Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely to need a break anyway,and save the morning for the important stuff.Specialized Termlife organizational pro(n)生活管理达人someone who is an expert at helping others bring balance and order into their livesVocabulary Focustap(v)[tæp]to get or make use of somethinggroggy(adj)[‘gragi]weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly,usually because of tiredness or illnessshuteye(n)[‘ʃʌtai]sleepplow through(something)(phr v)to finish reading,eating or dealing with something with difficulty67.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.B.To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C.To help us to get the most out of our mornings.D.To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.68.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B.To be an early bird,better forget about the snooze button.C.Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.D.It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.69.Where can we find the passage?A.Health SectionB.Travel BrochureC.Life and StudyD.Scientific Journal(C)In some countries where racial prejudice is acute,violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned.There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force;there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men,get up and calmly argue in favor of violence---as if it were a legitimate solution,like any other.What is really frightening,what really fills you with despair,is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻),we have made no actual progress at all.We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint,but our instinct remain basically unchanged.The whole of the recorded history of the human race,that tedious documentation of violence,has taught us absolutely nothing.We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute.The sheer horror,the bloodshed(流血),the suffering mean nothing.No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing.They are despised mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行).If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos,at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all,we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution.Our strength is sapped by having to mop to the mess that violence leaves in its wake.In a well-directed effort,it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme.The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us.Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible,providing we work within the framework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races,we must appreciate each other’s problems.And to do this,we must learn about them:it is a simple exercise in communication,in exchange information.“Talk,talk,talk”the advocates of violence say,“all you ever do is talk,and we are none the wiser.”It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge.After listening to a lengthy argument,the judge complained that after all this talk,he was none the wiser.“Possibly,my lord,”the barrister replied,“none the wiser,but surely far better informed.”Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom:the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.70.What is the best title for this passage?A.Advocating Violence.B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race PrejudiceC.Violence as a Legitimate SolutionD.Violence:The Instinet of Human Race71.Recorded history has taught us_______.A.violence never solves anythingB.nothingC.the bloodshed means nothingD.everything72.It can be inferred that truly reasonable men________.A.can’t get a hearingB.are looked down uponC.are persecutedD.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement73.“He was none the wiser”means_______.A.He was not at all wise in listeningB.He was not at all wiser than nothing beforeC.He gains nothing after listeningD.He makes no sense of the argument74.According to the author,the best way to solve race prejudice is______.A.low enforcementB.knowledgeC.nonviolenceD.mopping up the violent mess第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.Blank FillingDirections:After reading the sentences below,fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given word to make them coherent and grammatically.75.Bill suggested_______(hold)a

2019-2020学年上海交通大学附属中学高三英语下学期期中考试试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年上海交通大学附属中学高三英语下学期期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________，"A. on one's ownB. at no timeC. at the same timeD. by accident2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .A. saving timeB. a shortened attention spanC. lower grades at schoolD. depression and anxiety3. Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A. Media multitasking is becoming more popularB. Multitasking shrinks the brainC. Multitasking may shorten attention spanD. People are worried about their memories.BGray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the northernMidwest.Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January 4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm animals will be killed by wolves.But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to make that happen.4. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?A. Losing their living areas.B. Too many natural enemies.C. The extreme climate changes.D. Being hunted in great numbers.5. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Rather difficult.B. Against the law.C. Totally normal.D. Conditionally allowable.6. Why was the gray wolf removed from the endangered-species list?A. They have a much larger population already.B. They have all been put into the safe natural parks.C. They have been feeding on farmers, farm animals.D. They have grown too strong to be protected by humans.7. What do farmers living near gray wolves' living areas think of the animals?A. The wolves are trouble for them.B. The wolves must be better protected.C. The wolves get along peacefully with them.D. The wolves should live where they belong.CSix Neanderthals who lived in what is now France were eaten by their fellow Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago, according to fearful evidence of the cannibalistic (食人的) event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s. Now, researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer, charcoal (碳) and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. “Maybe within a few generations”, study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that oncepopulated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find — their neighbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their s “from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Not all Americans, including the blacks, have received theterm “African-American”with enthusiasm. When Ann Landers, a well-known newspaper columnist __45__ for the term in her column, she was shocked by the responses from the __46__ public.A huge number of readers of races wrote to say that they do not approve of the term “African-American.”When I raised the term “African-American” in a conversation with a black lady, she shook her head before answering my question. “People were upset with the word ‘Negro’, so they __47__ to be called ‘black’. In f act, Negro means black in Spanish. Then they invented this new term. It’s getting too complicated now, and I don’t know what we should be called any more.” However, not everyone regards it as a complicated issue. A New Jersey resident __48__ stated his opinion: Blacks have been in this country for over 200 years. They’re just as American as any other ethnic (种族的) group.The argument over “African-American” has involved other minority groups as well. Someone from Seattle wrote to the newspaper: I could never understand why people whose ancestors came from Africa __49__ themselves to be called black. My grandparents came from Japan, and I would be __50__ if someone called me “yellow”. To __51__ a person by color is just plain insulting.The American Indians, however, approached this issue with a different tone. One of them confronted (面对) the newspaper columnist with the following words: You gave a lot of __52__ to the African-American. I wish you’d do as much for the Native American Indian. We are the most ignored of all the minorities. They don’t call us anything and nobody cares. The treatment of our people is the darkest __53__ in America’s history. America was our country, and now America wants no part of us.III. Reading Comprehension (36%)Section A Cloze Test (1% *15 = 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.The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products. Today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the __54__that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to __55__. Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for __56__ use. The “energy-efficient”sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis __57__ indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials down to the molecules (分子), looking for ways to make them __58__ for people and the planet.Home builders can now use materials —such as paints that release significantly __59__ amounts of organic compounds —that don’t __60__ the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately, __61__, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating __62__ healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil __63__ reused by industry again and again. As a matter of __64__, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already __65__ a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable (可循环利用的).Look at it this way: No one starts out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are basically causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So__66__ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are adopting a __67__ approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a __68__ effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities.

A. functional B. sensible C. beneficial D. preciousSection B (21%)Directions: Read the following four 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)My true life started when I carefully pinned Qinghua University’s school motto (座右铭) “self-discipline and social commitment”above my bed,adopting it as my personal motto. I am a countrymen, I am a worker, I am avagrant (无业游民), I am a teacher, I am a unique form of Qinghua student. Butfocusing on the man that I am is not as important as seizing my destiny andbecoming the man I will be. However, with my life as it is, this isn’t easy, so Imust struggle. – Zhang LiyongOnce published, Zhang Liyong’s book “The Cook with Fluent English” immediately caught thepublic’s eye. Telling the true experiences of a common man, this book has encouraged and stimulated many English-learners.Born the eldest son of a poor family in Jiangxi Province, Zhang quit school early in order to help out his family. His first job was a worker in a toy factory in Guangzhou, where his experiences made him see the English language in a new light. He found out how important English was in communication with foreigners. Always under an intense workload, and with poor housing conditions, he felt no sense of belonging during those days in Guangzhou. So, with the realization that learning English was the only way to better his lot in life, and a ticket to step onto the campus of Qinghua University as well, he began to pursue the life he wanted. It was this move to become a student again that surrounded Zhang with the environment necessary for his success in English.After reading “The Cook with Fluent English”, Daisy Dai,whose major is English language and literature, comments, “First of all, I think his university was quite helpful for him to study English, because there are a lot of resources available on campus. Also, I believe that his passion for studying English should be encouraged. Because he was working full-time as a cook, he must have studied English in his spare time. Now that time for intensive study, like in schools or in universities is quite limited, we all have to form the habit of teaching ourselves. I think we should learn by his examples.”69.In his book Zhang Liyong stated that __________.A.Qinghua University is the best place for English studiesB.seizing his future is more importantC.the motto helped him to start his university lifeD.he must struggle to study English well70.During the days in Guangzhou, Zhang __________.A.quit school to help out his familyB.started to learn English by himselfC.began to realize the importance of EnglishD.showed great interest in communicating with foreigners71.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Daisy Dai as the reasons why Zhang succeeds instudying English?A.He has developed the habit of self-study.B.He is passionate for studying English.C.He is talented in studying English.D.He made good use of campus resources.72.The underlined word intense refers to ______.A. involving extreme effortsB. concerning great detailsC. long-lastingD. giving strength to(B)The young boy saw me, or, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me,eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though heappeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitternessof life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruitand nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t havechange, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again. I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?”I asked him. “I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocke t and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized tha t I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“That’s good.”I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 n aira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”73.What was the author’s first impression of the boy?A.He seemed to be poor and greedy.B.He seemed to have suffered a lot.C.He seemed younger than his age.D.He seemed good at bargaining.74.The third time the author met him, the boy ______.A.told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB.wanted to express his thanksC.asked him for money for his schoolbooksD.tried to take advantage of him75.Why did the author give his money to the boy?A.Because he had enough money to do that.B.Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C.Because he held a higher position in the society.D.Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.76.Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite.B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful.D. Shy and nervous.(C)A Big First for WomenHollywood history has been made now that KathrynBigelow has become the first female to win a Best Director Oscar.“There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of alifetime,”said 58-year-old Bigelow excitedly, at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles.Bigelow’s film, The Hurt Locker (《拆弹部队》), swept the awards with six trophies, including Best Director and Best Picture.The movie about a bomb disposal(拆除) unit in the Iraq War beat Avatar, the highest grossing(票房收入) film of all time, to the major awards. This was sweetened by the fact that Avatar’s director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband.Bige low played down her success, telling CBS, “There’s really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make ourbudget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can. So in that sense it’s very similar.”However, Bigelow’s cinematic journey could not have strayed (偏离) farther from the path of female directors before her. Her movies are low on female characters and high on guns and steel. They focus on men: their fears, bonds (关系) and rites of passage (成长历程).Point Break was her breakout film in 1991. The action film tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover (卧底) to investigate a gang of bank robbers. It was popular because of its strong but flawed (有缺点的) male characters.The Hurt Locker is in the same style. The war film is about an anti-hero, William James, leading a crew of competing men in removing roadside bombs around Iraq. James is addicted to risk taking and enjoys putting his fellow soldiers in constant danger. Many scenes are full of clashing (冲突的) male personalities.Focusing on these male relationships, critics praised The Hurt Lockers for avoiding obvious political statements (something Avatar was heavily criticized for), and instead painting a truthful picture of modern war.And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow’s victory? She won on International Women’s Day.It is, after all, Hollywood.77.Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the article?A.Avatar is the most profitable film in history.B.Bigelow is the first female director to win the Best Director Oscar.C.Bigelow and James Cameron were once married.D.The film The Hurt Locker tries to make strong politicalstatements about the Iraq war.78.What does the first sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?A.Bigelow has a similar style to other female directors.B.Bigelow usually wants to work with other females.C.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow focuses on male topics.D.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow has made other mistakes.79.The text tells us that ______.A.The Hurt Locker aims to show how men love danger and war.B.The Hurt Locker presents the clashes between male characters well.C.Bigelow was given the award because it was Women’s Day.D.Bigelow was proud of defeating a male director.80.The article is about ______.A.The unique style of the first woman to win the Oscar for best direction.B.What makes Bigelow different from other female directorsC.The award-winning film Bigelow madeD.The Hurt Locker beating Avatar at the Oscars(D)“My child seems sad; is he suffering from depression?”Not necessarily: Normal sadness or grieving is not depression. Don’t worry if your child occasionally feels blue or down in the dumps. Life has its ups anddowns, and it’s normal for children to grieve over a loss or feel sad for a fewhours or days at a time. But if his melancholy(忧郁症) lasts formore than acouple of weeks or seems to interfere with his regular activities andrelationships, he may be clinically depressed. Depression is far more than atemporary change in mood; it’s marked by a sense of hopelessness and a lack of energy and enthusiasm that can last for weeks, months, or (in rare cases) even years at a time. The good news about depr ession is that it’s almost always treatable. The key is identifying the problem and getting help.What are the symptoms?It might seem logical that the most obvious symptom of depression would be sadness, but many depressed children say they don’t feel sad or gloomy. Interestingly, one of the key signs of depression in children is irritability (易怒). Children may be depressed if they have trouble getting along with other kids and family members or have dramatic swings in mood. Other signs of depression include lack of energy, inability to concentrate, poor performance in school, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, and frequent complaints about physical ailments like headaches or stomachaches.Depression often goes hand in hand with other mental health problems. A youngster who has an eating disorder or a substance abuse problem, as well as kids who are constantly defiant(挑衅), disagreeable, and getting into trouble with authorities, may also suffer from depression.“How do I know if my child is depressed?”If your child exhibits any symptoms of depression, ask yourself three questions: Is this behavior new? Is it long-lasting (going on for several weeks or more)? Are the symptomsinterfering with his ability to function at home, in school, or with his friends? If you answer yes to any of those questions, you should probably have your child evaluated by a child or adolescent(青少年) psychologist, psychiatrist, or other licensed mental health professional trained to work with children and adolescents.81.Which one of the following children is more likely to be suffering from depression?A.Jane felt sad when she got a “C” for yesterday’s homework.B.Tom doesn’t have a friend and always gets angry.C.John complained about his headache this morning.D.Linda is too lazy to help her parents to do housework.82.What does the underlined phrase “have dramatic swings in mood” probably mean?A. Be moody.B. Be upset all the time.C. Have ups and downs in expression.D. Show anger and sadness.83. We can conclude from the passage that _________.A. adults are more likely to suffer from depressionB. depression is temporary and always treatable.C. children who suffer from depression all seem sadD. depression is a mental health problem84. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Children who perform poorly in school are probably suffering from depression.B. Children may also suffer from depression, which has some special symptoms.C. Children should get medical help when they seem sad and angry.D. Parents should not overreact to their children’s bad mood.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(E)Most of the large cities in the world have grown without plans and blueprints. London is such a city. Its streets zigzag, snake, and circle. There is no reason or order to its street-numbering system. Indeed, no one but a veteran taxi driver knows the whole of London. And before he gets his cabbie’s license he must first tour the city for months, street by street, then take a comprehensive examination to prove that he can find his way about. New York and Chicago grew in much the same way. They just spread out, pushed by the demands for residential, business, or industrial space. Like spilled water, they expanded in all directions. T oday in New York, even a native-born Manhattanite despairs of finding his way around Brooklyn.86.________________There are a few modern cities, however, that were created out of nothing. They were built strictly by the book according to detailed plans that will also control future growth. Two such American cities are Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. But the prime example of a cityplanned and built from scratch in the twentieth century is Brasilia, the new capital of Brazil.87._________________Ready for business in 1960, Brasilia was an architect’s delight and a planner’s dream. Its public buildings, monuments, and high-rise apartment complexes were magnificently modern. Access roads fed into the streets with no traffic lights. Every feature seemed logical, reasonable, and right. But for more than a decade, Brasilia seemed all wrong to the people brought there to live and to work in government officers. While it was undeniably a beautiful city, it was not yet a community.88._________________For it is people and their history of habitation that turn a city from a collection of streets and buildings into a community. It is people who give a city life and character and personality – and a brand-new tailor-made Brasilia didn’t have those qualities for a long time. But now, happily, its residents no longer feel they need to rush back to Rio or Sao Paulo at every opportunity. Indeed, they visit, picnic, and enjoy one another’s company. Brasilia is beginning to feel like home to them.89._________________Other planned cities have faced the same problem of creating a community spirit and identity. Some observers of life in Columbia, Maryland, another planned city, have been concerned with lack of spirit there and have made an interesting comparison between Columbia and Hoboken, New Jersey. Hoboken, an old waterfront town just across the Hudson River from New York City, is an urban planner’s n ightmare. It has row upon row of old dingy brick buildings, and grass and trees are few and far between. Columbia, on the other hand, is an urban planner’s dream. It has charming colonial and modern houses on winding streets. There are lovely lawns and beautiful trees.。

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story 56 concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his idealistic 57 for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby explores 58 of decadence（堕落）, idealism, resistance to change, social disturbance, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as an alarming tale regarding the American Dream.Fitzgerald, 59 by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and carefully 60 ." Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book was too vague and 61 the author to revise over the next winter. Fitzgerald was uncertain about the book's title, at various times wishing to re-title the novel Trimalchio in West Egg.First published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received 62 reviews andsold poorly; in its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believinghimself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel 63 a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film 64 in the following decades. Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary classic anda strong competitor for the title "Great American Novel". The book is 65 ranked among the greatest works of American literature. In 1998 the Modern Library editorial board voted it the best American novel and the second best novel in the English language.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to healt h.”But 66__ some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to 68 , a good laughis unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.70 , instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the 71 , studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72 muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the actof laughing probably does produce other types of 73__ feedback that improve an individual's emotional state. 74__ one classical theory of emotion. our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to 75 .Although sadness also happens before tears. evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of Wurzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to 76 a pen either with their teeth --- thereby creating an artificial smile --- or with their lips, which would produce a77 expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles 78 more exuberantlyto funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, 79__ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. 80 , the physicalact of laughter could improve mood.66.

ConverselySection BDirections: Read the following 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.AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the gam e.”“Peop le assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But po litics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self- interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery ( 奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to _.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but .A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling t o “p lay the gam e” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C)They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D)They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be .A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very little to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.D)They are ill-bred.88. How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations. B)Byfollowing the daily routines of civilized human beings. C)Bypicking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.90. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.上海交通大学附属中学2019 学年高一分班考（英语）（答案）I.

When Ann Landers, a well-known newspaper columnist __45__ for the term in her column, she was shocked by the responses from the __46__ public. A huge number of readers of races wrote to say that they do not approve of the term “African-American.”When I raised the term “African-American”in a conversation with a black lady, she shook her head before answering my question. “People were upset with the word ‘Negro’, so they __47__ to be called ‘black’. In fact, Negro means black in Spanish. Then they invented this new term. It’s getting too complicated now, and I don’t know what we should be called any more.” However, not everyone regards it as a complicated issue. A New Jersey resident __48__ stated his opinion: Blacks have been in this country for over 200 years. They’re just as American as any other ethnic (种族的) group.The argument over “African-American”has involved other minority groups as well. Someone from Seattle wrote to the newspaper: I could never understand why people whose ancestors came from Africa __49__ themselves to be called black. My grandparents came from Japan, and I would be __50__ if someone called me “yellow”. To __51__ a person by color is just plain insulting.The American Indians, however, approached this issue with a different tone. One of them confronted(面对) the newspaper columnist with the following words: You gavea lot of __52__ to the African-American. I wish you’d do as much for the Native American Indian. We are the most ignored of all the minorities. They don’t call us anything and nobody cares. The treatment of our people is the darkest __53__ in America’s history. America was our country, and now America wants no part of us.III. Reading Comprehension (36%)Section A Cloze Test (1% *15 = 15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the __54__that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to __55__. Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for __56__ use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis __57__ indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials down to the molecules(分子), looking for ways to make them __58__ for people and the planet.Home builders can now use materials — such as paints that release significantly __59__ amounts of organic compounds — that don’t __60__ the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately, __61__, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating __62__ healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil __63__ reused by industry again and again. As a matter of __64__, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already __65__ a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable (可循环利用的).Look at it this way: No one starts out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are basically causing these conditions,whether we like it or not. So __66__ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are adopting a __67__ approach.

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)My true life started when I carefully pinned QinghuaUniversity’s school motto (座右铭) “self-discipline and socialcommitment” above my bed, adopting it as my personal motto. I am acountrymen, I am a worker, I am a vagrant (无业游民), I am a teacher,I am a unique form of Qinghua student. But focusing on the man thatI am is not as important as seizing my destiny and becoming the manI will be. However, with my life as it is, this isn’t easy, so Imust struggle. – Zhang LiyongOnce published, Zhang Liyong’s book “The Cook with Fluent English”immediately caught the public’s eye. Telling the true experiences of a common man, this book has encouraged and stimulated many English-learners.Born the eldest son of a poor family in Jiangxi Province, Zhang quit school early in order to help out his family. His first job was a worker in a toy factory in Guangzhou, where his experiences made him see the English language in a new light. He found out how important English was in communication with foreigners. Always under an intense workload, and with poor housing conditions, he felt no sense of belonging during those days in Guangzhou. So, with the realization that learning English was the only way to better his lot in life, and a ticket to step onto the campus of Qinghua University as well, he began to pursue the life he wanted. It was this move to become a student again that surrounded Zhang with the environment necessary for his success in English.After reading “The Cook with Fluent English”, Daisy Dai, whose major is English language and literature, comments, “First of all, I think his university was quite helpful for him to study English, because there are a lot of resources available oncampus. Also, I believe that his passion for studying English should be encouraged. Because he was working full-time as a cook, he must have studied English in his spare time. Now that time for intensive study, like in schools or in universities is quite limited, we all have to form the habit of teaching ourselves. I think we should learn by his examples.”69.In his book Zhang Liyong stated that __________.A.Qinghua University is the best place for English studiesB.seizing his future is more importantC.the motto helped him to start his university lifeD.he must struggle to study English well70.During the days in Guangzhou, Zhang __________.A.quit school to help out his familyB.started to learn English by himselfC.began to realize the importance of EnglishD.showed great interest in communicating with foreigners71.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Daisy Dai as the reasons why Zhangsucceeds in studying English?A.He has developed the habit of self-study.B.He is passionate for studying English.C.He is talented in studying English.D.He made good use of campus resources.72.The underlined word intense refers to ______.A. involving extreme effortsB. concerning great detailsC. long-lastingD. giving strength to(B)The young boy saw me, or, he saw the car and quickly ran upto me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts.Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have alreadyknown the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again. I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?”I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“That’s good.” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s agift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”73.What was the author’s first impression of the boy?A.He seemed to be poor and greedy.B.He seemed to have suffered a lot.C.He seemed younger than his age.D.He seemed good at bargaining.74.The third time the author met him, the boy ______.A.told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB.wanted to express his thanksC.asked him for money for his schoolbooksD.tried to take advantage of him75.Why did the author give his money to the boy?A.Because he had enough money to do that.B.Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C.Because he held a higher position in the society.D.Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.76.Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite.B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful.D. Shy and nervous.(C)A Big First for WomenHollywood history has been made now that KathrynBigelow has become the first female to win a BestDirector Oscar.“There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of a lifetime,” said 58-year-old Bigelow excitedly, at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles.Bigelow’s film, The Hurt Locker(《拆弹部队》), swept the awards with six trophies, including Best Director and Best Picture.The movie about a bomb disposal(拆除) unit in the Iraq War beat Avatar, the highest grossing(票房收入) film of all time, to the major awards. This was sweetened by the fact that Avatar’s director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband.Bigelow played down her success, telling CBS, “There’s really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can. So in that sense it’s very similar.”However, Bigelow’s cinematic journey could not have strayed(偏离) farther from the path of female directors before her. Her movies are low on female characters and high on guns and steel. They focus on men: their fears, bonds (关系) and rites of passage (成长历程).Point Break was her breakout film in 1991. The action film tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover (卧底) to investigate a gang of bank robbers. It was popular because of its strong but flawed (有缺点的) male characters.The Hurt Locker is in the same style. The war film is about an anti-hero, William James, leading a crew of competing men in removing roadside bombs around Iraq. James is addicted to risk taking and enjoys putting his fellow soldiers in constant danger. Many scenes are full of clashing (冲突的) male personalities.Focusing on these male relationships, critics praised The Hurt Lockers for avoiding obvious political statements (something Avatar was heavily criticized for), and instead painting a truthful picture of modern war.And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow’s victory? She won on International Women’s Day.It is, after all, Hollywood.77.Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the article?A.Avatar is the most profitable film in history.B.Bigelow is the first female director to win the Best Director Oscar.C.Bigelow and James Cameron were once married.D.The film The Hurt Locker tries to make strong political statements about theIraq war.78.What does the first sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?A.Bigelow has a similar style to other female directors.B.Bigelow usually wants to work with other females.C.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow focuses on male topics.D.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow has made other mistakes.79.The text tells us that ______.A.The Hurt Locker aims to show how men love danger and war.B.The Hurt Locker presents the clashes between male characters well.C.Bigelow was given the award because it was Women’s Day.D.Bigelow was proud of defeating a male director.80.The article is about ______.A.The unique style of the first woman to win the Oscar for best direction.B.What makes Bigelow different from other female directorsC.The award-winning film Bigelow madeD.The Hurt Locker beating Avatar at the Oscars(D)“My child seems sad; is he suffering from depression?”Not necessarily: Normal sadness or grieving is not depression.Don’t worry if your child occasionally feels blue or down in thedumps. Life has its ups and downs, and it’s normal for children togrieve over a loss or feel sad for a few hours or days at a time.But if his melancholy(忧郁症) lasts for more than a couple of weeks or seems to interfere with his regular activities and relationships, he may be clinically depressed. Depression is far more than a temporary change in mood; it’smarked by a sense of hopelessness and a lack of energy and enthusiasm that can last for weeks, months, or (in rare cases) even years at a time. The good news about depression is that it’s almost always treatable. The key is identifying the problem and getting help.What are the symptoms?It might seem logical that the most obvious symptom of depression would be sadness, but many depressed children say they don’t feel sad or gloomy. Interestingly, one of the key signs of depression in children is irritability (易怒). Children may be depressed if they have trouble getting along with other kids and family members or have dramatic swings in mood. Other signs of depression include lack of energy, inability to concentrate, poor performance in school, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, and frequent complaints about physical ailments like headaches or stomachaches.Depression often goes hand in hand with other mental health problems. A youngster who has an eating disorder or a substance abuse problem, as well as kids who are constantly defiant (挑衅), disagreeable, and getting into trouble with authorities, may also suffer from depression.“How do I know if my child is depressed?”If your child exhibits any symptoms of depression, ask yourself three questions: Is this behavior new? Is it long-lasting (going on for several weeks or more)? Are the symptoms interfering with his ability to function at home, in school, or with his friends? If you answer yes to any of those questions, you should probably have your child evaluated by a child or adolescent (青少年) psychologist, psychiatrist, or other licensed mental health professional trained to work with children and adolescents.81.Which one of the following children is more likely to be suffering from depression?A.Jane felt sad when she got a “C” for yesterday’s homework.B.Tom doesn’t have a friend and always gets angry.C.John complained about his headache this morning.D.Linda is too lazy to help her parents to do housework.82.What does the underlined phrase “have dramatic swings in mood” probably mean?A. Be moody.B. Be upset all the time.C. Have ups and downs in expression.D. Show anger and sadness.83. We can conclude from the passage that _________.A. adults are more likely to suffer from depressionB. depression is temporary and always treatable.C. children who suffer from depression all seem sadD. depression is a mental health problem84. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Children who perform poorly in school are probably suffering from depression.B. Children may also suffer from depression, which has some special symptoms.C. Children should get medical help when they seem sad and angry.D. Parents should not overreact to their children’s bad mood.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(E)85._______________Most of the large cities in the world have grown without plans and blueprints. London is such a city. Its streets zigzag, snake, and circle. There is no reason or order to its street-numbering system. Indeed, no one but a veteran taxi driver knowsthe whole of London. And before he gets his cabbie’s license he must first tour the city for months, street by street, then take a comprehensive examination to prove that he can find his way about. New York and Chicago grew in much the same way. They just spread out, pushed by the demands for residential, business, or industrial space. Like spilled water, they expanded in all directions. Today in New York, even a native-born Manhattanite despairs of finding his way around Brooklyn.86.________________There are a few modern cities, however, that were created out of nothing. They were built strictly by the book according to detailed plans that will also control future growth. Two such American cities are Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. But the prime example of a city planned and built from scratch in the twentieth century is Brasilia, the new capital of Brazil.87._________________Ready for business in 1960, Brasilia was an architect’s delight and a planner’s dream. Its public buildings, monuments, and high-rise apartment complexes were magnificently modern. Access roads fed into the streets with no traffic lights. Every feature seemed logical, reasonable, and right. But for more than a decade, Brasilia seemed all wrong to the people brought there to live and to work in government officers. While it was undeniably a beautiful city, it was not yet a community.88._________________For it is people and their history of habitation that turn a city from a collection of streets and buildings into a community. It is people who give a city life and character and personality –and a brand-new tailor-made Brasilia didn’t have those qualities for a long time. But now, happily, its residents no longer feel they need to rush back to Rio or Sao Paulo at every opportunity. Indeed, they visit, picnic, and enjoy one another’s company. Brasilia is beginning to feel like home to them.89._________________Other planned cities have faced the same problem of creating a community spirit and identity. Some observers of life in Columbia, Maryland, another planned city, have been concerned with lack of spirit there and have made an interesting comparison。

Note that there is one word more than you need.milestone: the moment that complex eukaryotic(真核的) life appeared on Earth.Eukaryotes(真核生物) have large cells with complex (34) structures. While the first eukaryotic organisms were all single-celled, they gave (35) to all multicellular life, including fungi, plants and animals.Leiming Yin at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology in China and his colleagues found the fossils in a set of rocks called the Hutuo Group in the Wutai mountains. Previous studies have shown that the rocks were (36) down between 2.15 and 1.95 billion years ago.Experts gave the fossils a cautious (37) .It is reasonable that they are eukaryotes, says Malgorzata Moczydtowska-Vidal at Uppsala University in Sweden. “I could go for them being eukaryotic,” says Anette Hogstrom at the ArcticUniversity of Norway.However, the (38) is solely based on the shapes of the fossils, says Yuangao Qu at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sanya.“If more geochemical data could be obtained, it would be more (39) ."If confirmed to be eukaryotes, the fossils are arguably the oldest known. Previously the oldest (40) eukaryotes were around 1.5 billion years old.Some researchers have claimed to have found (41) older eukaryotes: one 2017 study reported fungi, which are eukaryotes, in rocks 2.4 billion years old. However, these older microfossils are rare and poorly (42) , and it isn't clear that they are really eukaryotes, says Hogstrom. They could be bacteria that look superficially like fungi, for instance. The only certain thing is that these microbes (43) in a marine environment with relatively high oxygen levels in the surface layers.III.Reading Comprehension (47’)Section A (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.Raise a Resilient KidLife is unpredictable but resilience gives us the ability to thrive in both good times and difficult ones. It means being able to carry on when faced with emotional or physical challenges and (44) to changing circumstances. (45) , resili ence is not a trait you’re born either with or without. It is a skill set you can help your kids learn so they can use it for the rest of their lives.1.Embrace second, third, and last placeNo one is the best at everything or needs to be. "When you learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, that’s a major step to thriving in the world," says Kenneth R. Ginsburg, M.D., the codirector of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the (46) of books including Building Resilience in Children and Teens. The best way to help kids with that lesson: “Let them explore and even (47) sometimes,”says Katherine Rosenblum, Ph.D., a clinical and developmental psychologist at the University of Michigan. The key is to (48) the effort it takes along the way so they’ll see the inherent value of hard work (49) the prize at the end. “It’s not about celebrating successes or academic achievements—we’re talking about celebrating the (50) we want our kids to have and the way we want them to behave,” Dr. Ginsburg says. Praise your child for trying out for the school play before you know the results; show support for baseball practice, not just games. 2.Let kids process (51) feelingsIt’s hard to see your child upset when he or she makes a mistake at a recital or a sports game or has a conflict with a peer. (52) , experiencing and working through tough emotions helps kids develop the ability to tolerate them down the road. Your support is essential. Let kids feel sad, angry, and disappointed sometimes, says Dayana Jimenez, Psy. D., a New York City-based clinical psychologist who (53) in working with children. If they start learning to manage those feelings in little bouts along the way, they’ll be better equipped to (54) the stress of bigger disappointments later.3.Encourage kids to help othersIn the (55) times, resilience might require reaching out to another person and asking for a helping hand. Developing social skills early is (56) _ to being able to ask for the help we will all need at some point. Dr. Ginsburg says. By (57) and helping others, kids learn how good it feels to be on the giving end; then, when they’re in a position to be on the receiving end, they won’t feel (58) to ask.44. A. adopt B. accustom C. adapt D. alter45. A. Fortunately B. Surprisingly C. Embarrassingly D. Consequently46. A. editor B. author C. composer D. publisher47. A. escape B. suffer C. greet D. fail48.

A. sorry B. ashamed C. regretful D. delightedSection B (32’)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)Thousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a new large•scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's data collection efforts. “This is a market failure,” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have u ncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1,000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for children's apps. The researchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data security measures laid out by COPPA.Some of the apps in question included Disney's “Where's My Water？”, Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPA compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law,” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws,” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are taking the researcher's report very seriously and looking into their findings”, critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data tracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was able to generate revenues off of children's apps,” said Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing_its_nose_at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”59.Which one of the following statements is wrong according to the second paragraph?A.The potential violations came in the same form.B.The quantity of the potential violations of COPPA was very large.C.Many children’s apps use tracking software to collect private i nformation.D.Some children’s apps fail to use standard data security measures laid out by COPPA.60.How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?A.Disney claimed to strictly obey privacy laws.B.Gameloft questioned the validity of the study.C.Duolingo planned to adopt strict data collection policies.D.Google admitted to the charge and promised to do more.61.What does the underlined phrase “thumbing its nose at” probably mean?A.observing.B. disrespecting.C. prohibiting.D. introducing.62.The purpose of the passage is to ．A.charge app companies with the violation of COPPArm readers of different ways to violate child privacy lawsC.illustrate the growing criticism of app's data collection functionD.highlight the urgency of strengthening enforcement of COPPA(B)When Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his only dream was that he could play outside.Brody was born premature at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he can't spend any time outside and he'll get burn blisters (水疱) on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of things he can't do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody can't eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I can't even count the number of surgeries he's had since he was born,” Brody's mother said. “He's spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brody's request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manage r of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brody's home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make thetent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go in to water because of his backpack. So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids’ pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like he's out at the beach.Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when Brody says ‘Can I go out and play?’, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time "outside” in the tent.It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could.63.What can we learn about Brody?A.He can't communicate with others.B. He can't stand on his feet.C. He can't be given surgeries any more.D. He can't be exposed to sunlight.64.Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream wasA.inspiring and heart-warmingB. simple but incredibleC. challenging but worthwhileD. difficult and unachievable65.Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?A.To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.B.To prove that the design company was responsible.C.To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.D.To emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest.66.What does the story mainly tell us?A.One good turn deserves another.B. Tough life experience may result in success.C.A helping hand makes a difference.D. All things are difficult before they are easy.(C)The year 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines which offer immunity(免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an internationaleffort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.67.What do we know about the influenza in 1918?A.It swept across the whole Europe.B. It killed the largest number of people.C. No one survived the first few days.D. It struck only young and healthy people.68.Why is influenza difficult to protect against?A.It spreads too rapidly.B. It is quite easy to catch.C. It’s hard to judge the form of virus.D. No vaccine is available.69.What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N1 in 2009?A.The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.B. It was the most serious in recent years.C. It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.D. New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.70.What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?A.The development is quite costly.B. It can protect against all forms of flu.C. It will be used all over the world.D. It will soon come into use in 2019.(D)Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate."The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades."This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success, " said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops. "71.What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A.The contributors to children's early attention.B.The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.C.The predictors of children's academic success.D.The determinants of children's development of social skills.72.What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A.Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B.Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.C.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D.There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.73.What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A.They care less about grades.B. They are teachers' favorites.C. They are easy to get on with.D. They do better academically.74.What can we conclude from the Duke study?A.Children's success is related to their learning environment.B.School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C.Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D.An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.第II 卷(60’)Section A (20’)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

But the martial art is becoming popular among younger adults too. “We call our students seniors in training, (2) the more you do it, the more it will prepare you as you age" says David Goldberg, leader of the Tri-State Branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society. You see people moving slowly. But it's actually not slow at all; there’s so much that goes on in the body and mind.” Taoist tai chi is a modified, health-focused form; it adheres to the belief (3) people cannot be steady on their feet without first being balanced internally. Here, Goldberg explains how to achieve both.What is tai chi?Tai chi is a Chinese martial art (4) (compose) of a series of movements. There are several different styles, and within t hem (5) (be) several forms. Some martial arts are only about aggression—you might, say, learn how to hurt a mugger or break a board. Taoist tai chi is also about spirituality, community, and (6) happens on the inside.How does tai chi improve balance?(7) we get older, we start to stiffen up. When you get up in the morning and hurt, you stop moving. Immobility only causes more immobility. Tai chi helps you keep moving. Some seniors even say that since doing tai chi, they have stopped falling down after they trip.Who can benefit from tai chi?Anyone (8) , and everyone is going to get something different from it—physically, mentally, and spiritually. You can be in any level of physical shap e to do it, but it’ll change (9) you walk up and down stairs, get out of a chair, walk down the street. Because you can do it standing up or (10) (support), even people who are in wheelchairs or use walkers can do tai chi and get the same whole-body effect.(B)It’s the award no one wanted to win: 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, government scientists (11) (confirm).That’s according to two separate analyses: one conducted by NASA and one by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Each study compared 2019 Earth temperature data with scientists' historical records, (12) began in 1880. Of those 140 years, only 2016 was warmer than 2019. The analyses also (13) (show) that the five hottest years on record have been the five years (14) (begin) in 2015.“The deca de that just ended is clearly (15) (warm) decade on record,” Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, said in a statement. "Every decade (16) the 1960s clearly has been warmer than the one before.”According to NOAA's temperature report, 2019 was also the 43rd year in a row (17) saw above-average global land and ocean temperatures. That analysis, like the similar (18) conducted by NASA, is based on data (19) (gather) by more than 20,000 stations around the world.“We crossed over into more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit (over 1.1 degrees Celsius) warming territory in 2015 and we are unlikely to go back,” Schmidt said in the statement. “This shows that what (20) (happen) is persistent, not a fluke due to some weather phenomenon.

Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The American Craftsman style is a type of design. It was popular from 1900 to the 1930s. It changedthe style of building in the United States.The craftsman style originally began in Europe. The British Arts and Crafts style arose in the 1860s.The unique designs of this movement tried to offer dignity to the common person. Handmade items werepreferred because they were thought better than items that were mass-produced. But this British style wasstill Victorian. It still only served the wealthiest clients.In 1897 a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to America. They planned ashow of craft objects, which turned out to be a huge success. Here they realized the potential andestablished the Society of Arts and Crafts on June 28, 1897. Its slogan was"to develop and encouragehigher standards in the handicrafts”.The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending. It emphasized handmade work. Originalityand simplicity were highly valued. Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important. These traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally. They were also very elegant.The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian opulence. The increase of mass-produced housing items wasrejected. The American Craftsman used clean lines. It also relied on sturdy structure. Natural materialswere always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home. New designs were made forfamilies without servants. This was a trait of the new middle class. The kitchen went from being a hiddenroom to a prominent one. Another development was the breakfast nook. This new area provided thefamily with a place to gather at any time of day.Also, inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs. The AmericanCraftsman style led to the Art Deco movement of the 1930s.84. According to the passage, the American Craftsman style is a type of _________A. Shaker and Mission design.B. house made for families with servants.C. design which was popular from 1900 to the 1930s.D.breakfast nook.85. According to Para. 6, all the following are true about the American Craftsman style EXCEPT __________A. The breakfast nook provided the family with a place to gather.B. The kitchen became a more prominent room.C. This style did not make any changes to the middle-class American home.D. Houses were designed for a new middle class with no servants.86. The word opulence in the passage is closest in meaning to______A .richness B. greed C. uglinessD. distaste【答案】84-86 CCA(B)87.What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.B. To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes morning.C. To help us to get the most out of our mornings.D. To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B. To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C. Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.D. It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.89.Where can we find the passage?A. Health SectionB. Travel BrochureC. Life and StudyD. Scientific Journal【答案】CBC（C）In some countries where racial prejudice is acute.violence has so come to be taken tor granted as means of solving differences that it is not even questioned.There are countries where the white manimposes his rule by brute force;there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to citiesand by looting and pillaging.Important people on both sides,who would in other respects appear to bereasonable men,get up and calmly argue in favor of violence---as if it were a legitimate solution, likeany other.What is really frightening,what really fills you with despair,is the realization that when itcomes to the crunch(关键时刻),we have made no actual progress at all.We may wear collars and tiesinstead of war-paint,but our instinct remain basically unchanged.The whole of the recorded history ofthe human race,that tedious documentation of violence,has taught us absolutely nothing. We have stillnot learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute.The sheer horror,thebloodshed(流血),the suffering mean nothing.No solution ever comes to light the morning after whenwe dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get ahearing.They are despised,mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate suchapparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行).If half the energy that goes into violent actswere put to good use,if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improvingliving standards and providing education and employment for all,we would have gone a long way toarriving at a solution.Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in itswake.In a well-directed effort,it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stablesocial programme.The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparentin the world around us.Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within theframework of the law.Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races,we mustappreciate each other's problems.And to do this,we must learn about them:it is a simple exercise incommunication,in exchangeinformation."Talk,talk,talk”the advocates of violence say, "all you everdo is talk,and we are none the wiser.”It's rather like th e story of the famous barrister who painstakinglyexplained his case to the judge.After listening to a lengthy argument,the judge complained that after allthis talk,he was none the wiser."Possibly,my lord,"the barrister replied,"none the wiser, but surely far better informed.”Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom:the knowledge that violencecreates the evils it pretends to solve.90.What is the best title for this passage?A.Advocating Violence.B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race PrejudiceC.Violence as a Legitimate SolutionD.Violence:The Instinct of Human Race91.Recorded history has taught usA.violence never solves anythingB.nothingC.the bloodshed means nothingD.everything92.It can be inferred that truly reasonable men.A.can't get a hearingB.are looked down uponC.are persecutedD.have difficulty in advocating law enforcement93.“He was none the wiser"meansA.He was not at all wise in listeningB.He was not at all wiser than nothing beforeC.He gains nothing after listeningD.He makes no sense of the argument94.According to the author,the best way to solve race prejudice isw enforcementB.knowledgeC.nonviolenceD.mopping up the violent mess答案：BBACAI.

Some people blame the corrosive effects of a flawed ideology in China.

And (59)___________, with the gradual disappearance of energy and enthusiasm, tiredness increases, the thought of rest will be not unwelcome.

But there is one game at which expert human players continue to dominate machines: Go(围棋). But researchers at Google DeepMind announced today that they’ve created a sophisticated artificial intelligence program that has beaten a Go champion for the first time in history.To understand what the DeepMind researchers did to create such an impressive program you first have to appreciate why Go is such a difficult game for computers. First, Go has a ridiculous number of possible moves and outcomes—according to the researchers, there are more possible positions in Go than the number of atoms in the universe.The reason why computer had a hard time with Go, explains Jonathan Schaeffer, a computer scientist, is that Go players need a large pool of knowledge—past experiences with the game—to draw from. ―In chess a computer can follow preprogrammed rules, but it is not workable for Go, because the game is largely about patterns rather than a set of logical rules that can be written down.The DeepMind team’s system addresses both the massive search and lack of knowledge problems. In a newly-published study, they describe combining a search technique and deep learning to overcome these obstacles.To solve the knowledge problem, the researchers used ―deep neural networks‖—two 13-layer-deep networks that consist of millions of connections and trained them with two methods: For one network, they showed the computer more than 30 million moves from games played by human experts to help the system learn how the best players win; and for both, the researchers had the computer play thousands of games with itself to discovernew strategies and learn the game on its own. These two training strategies allowed the computer to recognize patterns in the game and identify what moves gave it the best chance of winning.For the search problem, the researchers exploited the Monte Carlo Tree Search Technique, which allows the system to use statistics to determine the best move, rather than play out every possible outcome. The search technique used by the DeepMind team is not new. What makes DeepMind’s AlphaGo so advanced is the way they put togeth er all the tools, along with the high performance of the deep neural networks. ―The main novelty is in how they’ve combined these different ingredients together—they’ve innovated in doing that,‖ sa ys Yoshua, a computer scientist.Now AlphaGo has an immed iate problem: how to beat the world’s best Go player, Lee Sedol. This March the two will play each other in Seoul, South Korea. And although AlphaGo played well against Fan Hui, Schaeffer still predict Sedol will win the match. ―But I think the pro will be shocked at how strong the program is,‖ he says.

Why did computer programmers find it extremely hard to design a program for computers to play Go like humans?A. Because in playing Go a man needs to follow a wealth of logical rules.B. Because Go has as tremendous moves and results as any other board game does.C. Because humans always learn lessons from previous games and apply them to the next round.D. Because the massive search and lack of knowledge just can’t be handled anyway.96. Which one of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People and some experts hold on to the opinion that Lee Sedol is a better player than Fan Hui.B. Just like AlphaGo, Monte Carlo Tree Search is also something that Google proudly presents.C. Researchers showed AlphaGo how human experts play to make it merely remember all the strategies.D.

Laughter docs _67_ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is diflicuh to 68_, a good laugh is unlikely to have _69— benefits the way, say , walking or jogging docs.70 , instead of straining muscles to build thenk as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the _71—, studies dating back to the 1930*s indicate thai laughter _72 muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the efiects of psychological stress.

ConverselySection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are lour 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 is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious （勤勤恳恳的）way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P. for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able io sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a belter job. a raise, praise-many people are still unable—or unwilling—to "play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative （工计的）behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at I lofstra University. 4*But politics derives from the word ’polite'. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.^ In fhet, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many eases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well."The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perlorm well on a consistent basis,”' says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “B ut if two or three candidates are up ibr a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote ihc person he or she likes best. Ifs simple human nature."Yet, psychologists say. many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery （奉承）.fearful that, if they speak up fbr themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss fbr favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need fbr some self-promotion.81.. “Office politics” （Line 2, Para. 4） is used in the passage to refer to.A）t he code of behavior ibr company staffB）the political views and beliefs of office workersC）the interpersonal relationships within a companyD）the various qualities required for a succcssfiil career82.To get promoted, one must not only be competent but .A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83.Why are many people unwilling to “play the game', (Line 4, Para. 5)?A)They believe that doing so is impractical.B)They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C)They arc not good at manipulating colleagues.D)They think the eftbrt will get them nowhere.84.The author considers office politics to be.A)unwelcome at the workplaceB)bad for interpersonal relationshipsC)indispensable to the development of company cultureD)an important factor for personal advancement85.It is the author's view that.A)speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB)self-promotion docs not necessarily mean flatteryC)hard work contributes very little to one's promotionD)many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery(B)As Artificial Intclligencc(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there arc growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it's necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot docs chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to pul the pci cat in the oven to make dinner tor the hungry children. "You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values/' said Russell.Some robots arc already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there arc cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They arc dangerous only if programmers arc careless.The biggest concem with robots going against human values is that human beings foil to so sufficient testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo (禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, wc go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what wc believe in morak and how to create a set of ethical Riles. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86.What docs the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)lt can be avoided if human values arc translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87.What would wc think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author4?A)They are aggressive.B)Thcy arc outgoing.C)Thcy arc ignorant.D)They are ill-bred.88.How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89.What will a well-programmed robot do when Hieing an unusual situation?A)kcep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufiicient testing before taking action.90.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Dctcnninc what is moral and ethical.B)Dcsign some large-scale experiments.C)Set Riles for man-inachine interaction.D)Dcvelop a more sophisticated program.【参考答案】01-10 BDCBA BBCAD11-20CBAAB BBACC21-30BADDACBCCD31-40ABACB ABCBC41-50DABBC CCCDC：51-55 BDABC56-65 KJ Dill CEAFB66-80 A DBDB ADABABADAB 81-90 ACDCB CDCBA。

The driver of the other car, the man who had just nearly caused a huge accident, started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at him. He was really friendly!“Why did you just do that?” I asked him. “This guy almost destroyed your car and could have sent us to the hospital!”This was when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the Law of Garbage Trucks”.“Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment,” he said. “As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and if you let them do, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, just smile, wave, wish them will, and move on. You’ll be happier because of what you have done.”I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and dump it on other people—at work, at home, or on the street? It was on that day that I said, “I’m not going to dump anymore.”24. What happened when the writer was taking a taxi?A. He saw a car accident.B. Someone destroyed the taxi.C. The taxi driver was injured.D. Another car almost hit the taxi.25. How did the taxi driver deal with the othe r driver’s behavior?A. He shouted back at the driver.B. He sent the driver to the hospital.C. He was friendly towards the driver.D. He dumped some garbage in front of his car.26. What does the taxi driver mean when he says “Many people are like garbage trucks”?A. Many people like to drive garbage trucks.B. Many people dump garbage wherever they like.C. Many people are warm-hearted and make others happy.D. Many people need to dump their feelings now and then.27. According to the passage, what shoul d you do if people “dump garbage” on you?A. Dump your garbage on him or her, too.B. Be friendly and go on with your own work.C. Tell them to dump their garbage in the right place.D. Try your best to encourage them not to do that again.CMany people drink coffee to quickly increase their energy. Scientists say there may be another reason to drink coffee. They studied the link（联系）between coffee drinking and the risk of death from some diseases, and found that drinking moderate（适量的）amounts of coffee each day may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. David Jacobs of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis worked on the study with researchers from the University of Oslo.The researchers used information about 27,300 women. They were between 55 and 69 years of age when they entered the study. During a fifteen-year period, almost 15.75% of them died. The researchers found a link between the amount of coffee the women reported drinking and their risk of dying from heart disease. Coffee drinking was measured in cups. One cup is about 225 grams.There was a reduced risk of death from heart disease among women who drank from one to three cups of coffee each day. A reduction（减少）in the risk of death from other diseases was also seen.

He is often described as the man who has saved more lives than any other person in history. Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr. Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation.Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970.Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG99. He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductions in agricultural programs have made it harder to take action against such threats.Mr. Borlaug’s granddaughter Julie works at the center named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas.
