So ambition and the timely realization 1 he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something 2 (happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he 3 (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of thewhich to work backwards.different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make 6 familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities 7 got him closer to his goal.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.2019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 11 . You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 12 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 13 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 14 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 15 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics andtogether.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 16 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 17 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society te lling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 18 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 19 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 20 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A22019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 21 periods.The rise of “city breaks” --48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 22 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 23 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 24 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 25 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 26 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 27 for prospective visitors ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 28 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 29 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 30 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 31 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of €40 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 32 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 33 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 34 to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps32019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)towards more 35 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.21.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning —and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In Western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the co untry’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.62019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.39. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs40. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.41. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD. a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.42. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successⅣ. Summary writing43. Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.72019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect._____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共40分）Ⅴ.

When it comes to structures that are both (31)__________ and well-fortified, the classic Europe castle is the pinnacle(小尖顶) of design. Across the ages castles changed, developed, and eventually fell out of use, but they still command the (32)__________ of our culture.Castles were (33)__________ built in England by Norman invaders in 1066. As William the Conqueror (34)__________ through England, he fortified key positions to secure the land he had taken. The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to retreat to safety when threatened by English (35)__________. Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks. Troops were summoned to, organized around, and deployed from castles. In this way castles served both (36)__________ and defensive roles in military operations.Not limited to military purposes, castles also served as offices from which the lord would administer control over his fiefdom(领地).

Those that were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of the lands that they (37)__________ and pay tribute to the lord.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.Humans hate markedly to give workers more than they deserve,and indeed many will settle for less to compensate work equitably.But is this impulse (41)__________?Perhaps not,says psychological scientist Marie Schafer in Germany.According to Schafer,nobody has ever looked at how young children from different (42)__________ think about merit when sharing rewards.There is reason to suspect that meritocracy may be more of a Western concept and value,so she and several colleagues decided to put this to the test,studying the (43)__________ of children,four to 11 years old,in three different cultures.The idea was to test how much the children valued merit.So each child was given a number of sweets equal to the total number of fish in the catch,and was told to distribute the sweets any way he or she wanted—without adults in the room to influence them.If they valued merit,children should (44)__________ the sweets according to shares of the catch.That is,if they had landed the same number of fish,they wold choose to reward each one (45)__________,but if one fared much better at fishing,rewards would also be disproportionate.In the case where they were simply given the fish,rewards should be unrelated to catch size—since no effort was involved.(46)__________ matters.That’s the main finding among many from the study,as described in a forthcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science.The German children distributed the spoils of the day precisely in proportion to (47)__________,even when this meant a very unbalanced distribution of rewards.By contrast,children from the two rural African forager(狩猎) societies barely took merit into consideration at all.These findings suggest that the basic notion of merit and distributive justice is far from universal in our species,and that (48)__________ is culturally defined.But why?The scientists offer some (49)__________ on this.It could be that in large-scale societies like Germany,a meritocracy is (50)__________ for regulating transactions between people who don’t know each other and may not interact again.The focus is on equitable interactions,because things won’t be “evened out”in the future.In small scale societies,(51)__________,most exchanges take place between people who are (52)__________ with one another.It may be more important in such societies to build long-term relationships based on equity—rather than to insist on equity in a single transaction.In egalitarian forager societies,such as the Haillom,(53)__________ is an important leveling mechanism,(54)__________ asymmetries in wealth and increasing harmony.Children may internalize these social values early on,and apply them even when the fishing trip is (55)__________.41.

as an unhappy place.After,it was market as a wonderland.Before Thomas Moran arrived,Yellowstone in the popular imagination was a harsh,will place pocked with hellish geysers.After the painter’s work was finished,Yellowstone was established as a national park and marketed as a wonderland.In 1871 Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson had joined the first U.S. government survey of the region.For two weeks Moran filled a sketchbook with the landscape’s most stunning sights.The survey results,Jackson’s photos,and Moran’s watercolors—the first color renderings of the area—were presented to Congress that fall. “The photographs were proof that what the artist was showing really existed,”says Eleanor Harvey,senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.In March 1872 lawmakers officially made Yellowstone a national park,the world’s first.By April,Moran had transformed some of his sketches into a 7-by-12-foot painting.The gold-splattered valley and billowing Lower Falls of “The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone”attracted the public. “It is too grand and wonderful for words,”declared the Ladies’Repository that August, “and none can ever judge of its wonders from any engraving or photograph in mere black and white.”Though Moran later painted Lake Superior,the Grand Canyon,and the Rockies,hsi reputation was so intertwined with Yellowstone that he took to signing his paintings “TYM,”for Thomas “Yellowstone”Moran.56.What can we know about Yellowstone according to the passage?A.It was a popular park with geysers before Thomas Moran finished

emissions equivalent to over 20,000 passenger cars.The practice started decades ago,before computers and GPS,and is now managed by a software that conjures the most efficient route for each truck.What’s wrong with turning left?Left-hand turns are generally considered unsafe and wasteful on right-hand driving roads,such s those in the U.S.“Left-turning traffic typically has to turn against a flow of oncoming vehicles,”explains Tom Vanderbilt,author of the book “Traffic:Why we drive the way we do.”“This can not only be dangerous,but makes traffic build up,unless you install a dedicated left-turn ‘phase’,which is fine but basically adds 30 or 45 seconds to everyone else’s single time,”he said.A study on crash factors in intersection-related accidents from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Association shows that turning left is one of the leading “critical pre-crash events”(an event that made a collision inevitable),occurring in 22.2 percent of crashes,as opposed to 1.2 percent for right turns.About 61 percent of crashes that occur while turning or crossing an intersection involve left turns,as opposed to just 3.1 percent involving right turns.Left turns are also three times more likely to kill pedestrians than right ones,according to data collected by New York City’s transportation planners.The right way to save fuel“A left-hand turn is also less fuel efficient,”said Jack Levis,UPS Senior Director of Process Management, “because your car’s idling(未熄火) longer,which is also not good for your vehicle.”（此处应有图片）UPS does not ban left turns outright,says Levis: “We will make left hand turns,but not ones that are unnecessary.We don’t need to go in circles all day long by making only right hand turns.We have tools analyze the number of left hand turns for each route,and we can work out which ones are avoidable.”The procedure is now incorporated in most countries around the world.To this end,the carrier created its own maps,which it says are more accurate that commercially available ones: “We can differentiate more important left-hand turns from unimportant ones.Google Maps has no concept of not making a left-hand turn,it just shows the most direct way to reach your destination.We have the ability to penalize some of those,”Levis told CNN.The system knows about parking lots,private driveways,variable speed limits and roads that are inaccessible for a truck.The software can give an undesirable left turn a penalty that adds 20 seconds to the estimated route time.In that case,going around the block and turning always right might offset that 20-second penalty: “We were able to turn off left hand turns,” said Levis.Taking a longer route while still saving time and fuel might sound confusing,even to UPS drivers,according to Vanderbilt: “I’ve actually been to UPS’s logistics center and discussed this with their lead engineers,”he said.“A lot of individual drivers felt the new routing software was making their trips longer,but they were later proven wrong.This is the thing about traffic,it’s such a complex system that often the individual cannot get a sense of the overall efficiency of the system,and optimize accordingly.It’s also one of the counter intuitive, ‘slower-is-faster’ effects you often see in traffic.”The rule,says Levis,can also be applied to left-hand driving countries,such as Australia and the UK,where it discourages right-hand turns.60.How much resources can UPS trucks save by avoiding turning left?A.UPS trucks will consume millions of gallons of fuel.B.The emission of UPS trucks is equivalent to that of over 2000 passenger cars.C.UPS trucks estimate to save 100,000 metric tons of CO2 emission a year.D.UPS trucks estimate an increase of 6 to 8 miles per route.61.In Tom Vanderbilt’s View,how to Deal with the Left Turn Problem in the United States?A.Install a dedicated left turn phase.B.Traffic planners manage road conditions.C.Operators make their own traffic maps.D.National policy encourages left turn of vehicles.62.Which of the following options is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.It’s unsafe to turn left on right-hand driving roads.B.Turning left is resource-efficient on right-hand driving roads.C.Left turning is likely to cause traffic accidents.D.Left-turn is discouraged in all countries.(C)“Is data the new oil?”asked proponents of big data back in 2012 in Forbes magazine.By 2016,and the rise of big data’s turbo-powered cousin deep learning,we had become more certain: “Data is the new oil,”stated Fortune.Amazon’s Neil Lawrence has a slightly different analogy:Data,he says,is coal.Not coal today,though,but coal in the early days of the 18th century,when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine.A Devonian ironmonger,Newcomen built his device to pump water out of the south west’s prolific tin mines.The problem,as Lawrence told the Re-Work conference on Deep Learning in London,was that the pump was rather more useful to those who had a lot of coal than those who didn’t:it was good,but not good enough to buy coal in to run it.That was so true that the first of Newcomen’s steam engines wasn’t built in a tin mine,but in coal works near Dudley.So why is data coal?The problem is similar:there are a lot of Newcomens in the world of deep learning.Startups like London’s Magic Pony and SwiftKey are coming up with revolutionary new ways to train machines to do impressive feats of cognition,from reconstructing facial data fromgrainy images to learning the writing style of an individual user to better predict which word they are going to type in a sentence.And yet,like Newcomen,their innovations are so much more useful to the people who actuall copious(丰富的) amounts of raw material to work from.And so Magic Pony is acquired by Twitter,SwiftKey is acquired by Microsoft and Lawrence himself gets hired by Amazon from the University of Sheffield,where he was based until three weeks ago.But there is a coda to the story:69 years later,James Watt made a nice tweak to the Newcomen steam engine,adding a condenser to the design.That change,Lawrence said, “made the steam engine much more efficient,and that’s what triggered the industrial revolution.”Whether data is oil or coal,then,there’s another way the analogy holds up:a lot of work is going into trying to make sure we can do more,with less.It’s not as impressive as teaching a computer to play Go or Pac-Man better than any human alive,but “data efficiency”is a crucial step if deep learning is going to move away from simply gobbling up oodles of data and spitting out the best correlations possible.“If you look at all the areas where deep learning is successful,they’re all areas where there’s lots of data,”points out Lawrence.That’s great if you want to categorize images of cats,but less helpful if you want to use deep learning to diagnose rare illnesses. “It’s generally considered unethical to force people to become sick in order to acquire data.”63.According to the passage,why data is seen as the new coal?A.It can drive the steam engine to pump water.B.It can help people make more coals.C.It can help the areas of deep learning.D.It can help cure diagnose rare illnesses.64.According to Lawrence,why big data is less helpful to diagnose rare illnesses?A.Because there is no such demand.B.Because it can only use to categorize images of cats.C.Because it’s unethical to acquire data by forcing people to become sick.D.Because it needs too much data.65.Which areas are most likely to be successful in in-depth learning?A.Some small start-ups.B.Areas with large amounts of data.C.Coal and Petroleum Development Field.D.Areas for tackling rare diseases.66.According to the content of the article,which is NOT TRUE about the big data?A.We still have a lot of work to study the big data.B.It requires countless data to be collected.C.The purpose of studying big data is to save parents’ costs.D.“Data efficiency” is a critical step to explore more data.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Shared decision making requires you to be an active participant.Politicians and policymakers are discussing what parts of the Affordable Care Act to change and what to keep.While most of us have little control over those discussions,there is one health care topic that we can control:what we talk about with our doctor.The Institute of Medicine (IOM) released the landmark publication Crossing the Quality Chasm 15 years ago.The report proposed six aims for improvement in the U.S. health system,identifying that health care should be patient-centered,safe,effective,timely,efficient and equitable.The idea that health care should be patient-centered sounds obvious,but what does that mean?The IOM defines it as care that is “respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences,needs,and values”and that ensures “patient values guide all clinical decisions.”For this to truly happen,doctors’ appointments need to cover more topics than how one is feeling and what can be done.Does your doctor know your values?(67)__________ Fewer than half of people report that their physician or other health care provider asks about their goals and concerns for their health and health care.Your doctor can discuss medical tests and treatments without knowing your life goals,but sharing your values and needs with your doctor makes discussions and decisions more personalized and may lead to better health.How does patient-centered care happen?In order for your health care to center around you,your doctor needs to know your values,preferences and needs.Everyone is different.(68)__________As a neurologist,when I’m working with a 76-year-old widow whose main goal is to remain independent in her home,we frame her care in that context.(69)__________ We discuss how a walker helps her be more independent rather than less,as she can move around her home more safely.When a stressed college student comes to my office for a bothersome tremor,his preference is to avoid medications that he might forget to take or that might harm his school performance.This guides our discussion of the pros and cons of different options,including using medications but also doing nothing,an option that almost half of patients feel strongly should always be discussed.(70)__________ In sharing their values and goals with me,these individuals enabled a health care approach that respected their needs and also responded to their life circumstances.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.To Laugh Is HumanMost of us don’t know why we laugh at some jokes and not at others.Scientists know that we are able to laugh at birth.Babies begin to laugh at three to four months of age,well before they produce their first words.What scientists are interested in is why we laugh.Scientists believe humans laugh with others primarily because it makes us feel connected with one another,which in turn gives us a sense of trust and comfort.To scientists,laughter is anunconscious reaction;consequently,when we laugh,others can be certain that it is an hones reaction,and honesty is key when building and maintaining friendships.Since laughter is seen as a social signal that we send to others,it can also help explain why it is so infectious.Studies have proven that when people see or hear something funny,they are 20 times more likely to a laugh when they are with others than when they are alone.Wanting to be accepted by others is part of human nature.And mirroring other people’s laughter is a way to signal to others that you feel the way they do,which makes us feel more connected with one another. Humans have not always laughed just so they can feel closer to others,however.Scientists point out that this social function of laughter was born out of an even more fundamental human ughter,they believe,came about because it contributed to our very survival as a species.Scientists assume that sharing laughter ensured our ancestors a higher survival rate because it led to greater cooperation between individuals.Humans learned quickly that greater cooperation led to survival,and the brain in turn realized that laughing with others increased out chances of finding people to cooperate,hunt,eat,live,and eventually,survive with.第II卷（共40分）V.

In some way, Rose Bayhas witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, a type of early seaplane. On 5 July, 1938, an Empire Class flying boat departed from here, Australia’s first international airport. It was heading for England and marked the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days with 30 stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first-class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine. But the flight didn’t come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians, at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as water cold, and the planes were officially used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war, land-based aircraft had developed rapidly and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However, Sydney and its vast waters remained well placed to explore the resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats.(Now listen again.)Questions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of Empire Class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts and use knowledge to change one’s environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning and problem-solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you’ve got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that’s not the case. In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Cathleen Voss, study author, says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which canproduce fresh ideas. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to Jonathan Why, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smart people tend to possess and may actually lead to messiness. He says, “It’s not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness.” Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue, and planning becomes of less importance than focusing on a problem at hand(Now listen again.)Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people’s eyes?15. According to Jonathan Why from Duke University, which of the following statements is true?16.

In males, the stronger connections run within each half o the brain. In women. The stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now. I can understand why I cannot do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right now.(Now, listen again.)Questions:17: What is the conversation mainly about?18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20: What does the professor from theUniversity of Oxford think of the new research findings?选自《纽约时报》（https:///2018/02/08/opinion/changemaker-social-entrepreneur.html）Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances. "For the good of all" is the capacity to build teams.It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with this mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: "We don't need you. We don't need your kids, either." Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ___39___. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.DABHC IEGKF选自《卫报》（https:///cities/2017/aug/04/tourism-kills-neighbourhoods-save-city-break）More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ___41___ periods.The rise of "city breaks"48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance hasincreased tourist numbers, but not their ___42___ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Font. "For ___43___, the city no longer belongs to them."This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek ___44___ outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also ___45___ a better way, it is calling "detourism": sustainable travel tips and ___46___ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of ___47___ for prospective visitors ------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center-------can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or ___48___ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ___49___ the pressure, says Font. "If you so to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eifel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ___50___, "We should be asking how do we get tourists to ___51___, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours."Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You're thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists a(n) ___52___ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint ___53___ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and ___54___ to less crowded parts of the city ------all productive steps towards more ___55___ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.（B）(C)选自《金融时报》（https:///content/c2bd2f8c-8b67-11e8-b18d-0181731a0340）Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning — andthe fears of something going badly wrong. The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind. “The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK. Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.……IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.选自《美国环保署》（https:///pollinator-protection/colony-collapse-disorder）Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD). The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food prices. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.翻译1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?( motivate)What was it that motivated Xiao Wang to learn electronic engineering?What on earth has motivated Xiao Wang’s enthusiasm to study electronic engineering?2.网上支付方便了用户，但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate. In In 2006, 2006, 2006, bee bee bee keepers keepers keepers started started started reporting reporting reporting about about about something something something called called called Colony Colony Colony Collapse Collapse Collapse Disaster(CCD). Disaster(CCD). Disaster(CCD). The The The main main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives. There There were were were many many many theories theories theories for for for the the the disappearance disappearance disappearance of of the bees. But t he the the most most most convincing convincing convincing one one one has has has to to to do do do with with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides. The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food prices. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect. 翻译1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?( motivate) What was it that motivated Xiao Wang to learn electronic engineering?

In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, type of early seaplane. On the fifth of July, 1938, an empire class flying boat departed from here, Australia's first international airport. It was heading for England and mark the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days, with thirty stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine.But the flight didn't come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as war took hold and the planes were officially-used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war,land-based aircraft had developed rapidly, and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However. Sydney and its vast waters remained well-placed to exploit their resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats.Questions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of empire class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to change one's environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you've got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that's not the case.In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Kathleen Watts, study author says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce the fresh idea. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to JonathanWhite, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smarter people tend to possess, and it may actually lead to messiness. He says it's not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness. Such people tend to get lost inthought while focusing on a problem or issue. And cleanliness becomes of less importance that focusing on the problem at hand.Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people's eyes?15. According to Jonathan White from DukeUniversity. Which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the new research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map reading and finding direction, while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting! Now I understand why I'm the one of my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly one thousand men and women and found they are wired differentlyM: Wired differently? You mean"connected in different ways"?W: Right! In males, the stronger connections run within each half o the brain. In women. The stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now. I can understand why I cannot do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right now.(Now, listen again.)Questions:17: What is the conversation mainly about?18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20: What does the professor from the University of Oxford think of the new research findings?语法填空Start With the End and Work BackwardsWhen Jason Hoelscher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren't any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21)________ he would have to determine "what's next" on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22)________(happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23)________ (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24)________ which to work backwards.By setting this goal, all of Jason's efforts (25)________ (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26)________ familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27)________ got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery. (28)________ (inspire), Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997, Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work. (29)________ scared to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition to the Rule Gallery roster (花名册). He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot , and in (30)________ (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.⼩猫钓鱼（选⾃《纽约时报》2018.2.8）Everyone a ChangemakerWe’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition (转变). For thousands of years most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill — baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living by repeating the same skill over the course of your career. But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world requires a different sort of person. Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka, the organization that supports 3,500 social entrepreneurs (企业家) in 93 countries, calls this new sort of person a changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus , that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood to a crime when it is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime information and work together.In the changing society, to form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "the ability to understand how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances and to act for the good of all.”It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant. Companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses. But a lot of people still live without this mind-set. So the central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker.In an earlier era, society realized it needed universal ___39___ — the ability to read and write. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mind-set universal. They have to understand it will lead to success and this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted.A. alert B. challenge C. continually D. evolving E. literacy F. locate G. mental H. network I. pattern J. repetitive K. reversely完型填空（选⾃《卫报》2017.8.4）According to the World Economic Forum, more people are travelling than ever before. Lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ___41___ periods. The rise of "city breaks” — 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures — has increased tourist numbers, but not their ___42___ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same facilities as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Xavier Font, a professor of sustainability marketing. "For ___43___, the city no longer belongs to them."So Venice proposes what it is calling "detourism": sustainable travel tips (建议) and ___44___ routes for exploring a true Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flood in each year.A greater variety of ___45___ for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of diverting (分流) them from already crowded landmarks, or ___46___ short breaks in the first place. Longer stays ___47___ the pressure, says Font. "If you go to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ___48___. "We should be asking how do we get tourists to ___49___, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to get to know our lifestyle and local customs."Local governments are now ___50___ this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible tour operator, and even high-paying consumers. Font says, however, cities could be more ___51___ about the tourists they try to attract even when the marketing success is currently measured by how many there are, and how far they’ve come.He points to unpublished data from a Venice tourist board that gives priority to Japanese tourists for spending an average of $40 more per day than French tourists — a(n) ___52___ that fails to take into account the more carbon emissions the Japanese produces on their way. ___53___ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and ___54___ to less crowded parts of the city. All are productive steps towards more ___55___ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41. A. earlier B. later C. longer D. shorter42.

But questions can sometimes be a bit more...wacky.“What kind of animals would you be?” is one of the unique questions mentioned by senior managers in the survey. It is a way to keep interviewees on their feet and stimulate interesting discussion.However, such question are asked less frequently, the research shows. Just 6 percent of senior managers said their favorite questions to ask are theoretical questions, the lowest total except for “other,” which also came in at 6 percent. A lot of senior managers said their favorite questions are ones “relating to the position or company,” at 39 percent. These questions include “Why do you want to work here?”, “What do you know about this company?” etc. They are meant to determine if candidates have done their homework and how enthusiastic they are about the position.Questions about “previous or current experience” were referred to by 22 percent of senior managers as their favorite type of question. These inquiries — “Why did you leave your last job?” and “What did you like or dislikeabout your last job?” for instance — are meant to look into applicants’ work history patterns and their overall fit for the position.Further down the list, 18 percent of senior managers’ favorite questions had to do with personalities and characteristics. They prefer, for example, “What are your strengths and weakness?” and “What’re your hobbies?”. And 10 percent had to do with personal goals and interests (“Where do you see yourself in five or 10 years?”) That means that managers strongly prefer to ask candidates questions about their interest in the position and work history. But there’s always room for a sudden surprise.56. In this passage, the word “wacky” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “______”. A. common B. aggressive C. inevitable D. weird 57. According to the survey, senior managers’ most preferred questions are meant to find out ______. A. what work experience candidates had B. how well-prepared candidates are C. what candidates are most interested in D. how knowledgeable candidates are 58. What will senior managers ask to determine how suitable a candidate is for the position? A.What kind of animal would you be? B.Why do you want to work here?C.What did you like or dislike about your last job?D.Where do you see yourself in five or 10 years? 59. What is the passage mainly about?A.Interview questions favoured by managers.B.Managers’ attitudes to interview questions.C.How managers prepare interview questions.D.How managers make interview questions interesting.(B) 2019 Spring Evaluation Schedule For Learn T o SkateMT .

The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors (反应堆) that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate (发电) between 50MW (megawatt, a unit of power) and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a traditional reactor. They will draw on modular (模块化的) manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has troubled larger-scale projects for long. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK. Since the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerest; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing facilities to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence. However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point — which together will generate 3.2GW (gigawatt, a unit of power) of electricity — has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees unclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactor, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.63. What can be learned from the passage about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.They don’t work on the same principles as traditional reactors.B.They haven’t been widely used for business purposes.C.They are at a critical stage of being manufactured.D.They operate more flexibly than wind generators.64. In paragraph 2, the writer mentions the plants in different countries in order to _____. A.show that the advanced technology of EDF is mature B.argue against the popular use of nuclear powerC.prove that their construction costs more than availableD.suggest a possible solution to budget problems 65. What can be inferred from the passage?A.The UK government is reducing its funding for ageing nuclear facilities.B.Some people have lost their confidence in the use of nuclear power.C.People are more supportive of solar and wind energy than nuclear energy.D.The UK is decreasing the impact of nuclear power on tis economy. 66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? rge-scale nuclear plants will be a big hit B.Traditional reactors boom with new mini ones C.The government should reflect on nuclear safety D.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success 六选四Importance of Ethics (道德准则)Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment. _____67_____. Also, media organizations have told educators that they value students’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills and their sense of ethics.However, reasons for studying ethics go beyond what potential employers desire. Proper behavior is necessary for growth and order. If one objective of an education is to promote the growth and development of the individual, then the place to start is with personal behavior.Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large. _____68_____. Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made — seat belts, for example — so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient. Without the “rules” of the road, travel becomes chaotic (混乱的). Order is necessary. _____69_____. It sets “rules” for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives._____70_____. Not every problem is an ethical one, and even when an ethical problem does present itself, people sometimes make the wrong ethical decision, or they make the right ethical decision and it results in unforeseen negative consequences. Nevertheless, people must realize that without a large number of individuals “doing the right thing,” society would not be doing much at all except fighting for survival and trying to figure out an increasingly chaotic world.Things are bad enough with ethics; think how bad they might be without them.概要写作（选⾃《美国环保署》）Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat.

Grammar VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, Hill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Start with the end and work backwardsWhen Jason Hoelscher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren’t any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21) ________ he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22) ________ (happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23) _________ (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24) ________ which to work backwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason’s efforts (25) ________ (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26) ________ familiar with the market environment. As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) ________ got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery. (28) ________ (inspire), Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997, Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work. (29) ________ scared to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition to the rule gallery roster (花名册). He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) ________ (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.people’s lives had a certain 31 . You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 32 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.”Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city ------ all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41. A. longer B. shorter C. wider D. clearer42. A environmental B. national C. economic D. geographic43. A. locals B. tourists C. visitors D. cleaners44. A. transports B. accommodation C. restaurants D. service45. A. addresses B. paves C. proposes D. receives46. A. separate B. individual C. alternative D. objective47.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning—and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“T he physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to f5om in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMrs64. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD. a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successⅣ. Summary writingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect.第Ⅱ卷（共40分）Ⅴ.
