President Xi together with foreign guests toured the exhibition hall to ________ the opening ceremony of the CIIE(进博会).35. The surgeon is now engaged in operating on a patient who needs emergency surgery to ________ a blood clot(凝块) from his brain.Section CMany may associate Meghan Markle(梅根·马克尔) with the British royal family or the hit drama series Suits(《金装律师》). But the American actress has also made a name for herself in the activism(社会活动) world by getting __36__ in number of charitable projects. While she has been seen as a key figure in raising global attention to gender equality(性别平等) lately, heractivist nature dates back to her elementary school days.One day more than two decades ago, Markle was watching a TV program at school when a dish-washing liquid commercial appeared on the screen. What attracted her attention was its tagline(品牌宣言): “Women all over America are fi ghting greasy(油腻的) pots and pans.” Two boys from her class said, “Yeah, that’s where women belong –in the kitchen.” Markle felt so shocked and angry at their response that she __37__ to herself, “It just isn’t right and something needs to be done.”After getting home, the young Markle decided to make __38__ to the manufacturer P&G Meanwhile, she wrote to three __39__ women, including former U.S. first lady Hillary Clinton. To Markle’s surprise, she received letters of encouragement from all three women, and a camera crew even came to her house in Los Angeles to cover the story.Th e campaigning didn’t just encourage discussion and change on a local level either. Roughly a month later, P&G changed the commercial for their dish-washing liquid from “women all over America” to “people all over America.” It was at that moment that Markle realized the importance of her actions. By the age of 11, she had created her small level of __40__ by standing up for gender equality.Looking back on her experience of someho w accidentally becoming a women’s __41__ activist, Markle reminded girls, “It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Women need a seat at the table; they need an invitation to be seated there. And in some cases where this isn’t __42__, the y need to create their own table.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection AScientists in Norway have some good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink or the beans can help with weight loss, __43__ one’s risk of developing some diseases, promote muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce one’s risk of premature(早于预期的) death, among many other __44__. Now it is said that a cup of __45__ reduces physical pain.The surprising finding is __46__ a study involving 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90minutes performing computer tasks meant to finish office work. The tasks were known to __47__ pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists. The researchers wanted to __48__ how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated(忍受) the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test “to avoid __49__ effects of caffeine lack, e.g. decreased vigor, sleepiness, and exhaustion.”they reported.When it came time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway’s National Institute ofOccupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a __50__ intensity(强度) of pain than the 29 peop le who didn’t.In the shoulders and neck, __51__ the average pain was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for the non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and。

2018-2019学年上海市延安中学高三上英语期中试卷
上海市延安中学2018学年第一学期高三英语期中考试第Ⅰ卷Ⅱ.Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Smart phones were once the best thing to happen to the tech industry.In the11years since the iPhone made its debut,smartphones___21___(include)just about every other gadget.And it is surprising that it___22___alter every business.But___23_________smart phones have achieved dominance,revolution is again in the air.At Google’s and Apple’s recent developer conferences,executives took the stage to show how much more irresistible they were making our phones.Then each company unveiled the software___24___(help)you use your phone a lot less.There’s a reason for this seemingly contradictory engineering effort,and it’s___25___I call“Peak Screen”.For much of the last decade,a technology industry___26___(rule)by smart phones has pursued a singular goalof completely___27___(conquer)our eyes.Tech has now captured pretty much all visual capacity.Americans spend three to four a day looking at their phones,and that’s the minimum estimation.So tech giant are to build the beginning of something new:a___28___(visual)tech world,a digital landscape ___29___relies on voice assistants,headphones,watches and other wearables to take some pressure off our eyes.So tech giants are building the beginning of something new:a less insistently visual tech world,a digital landscape that relies on voice assistants,headphones,watches and other wearables to take some pressure off our eyes.We may simply end up adding new devices to our screen-addled lives,___30___it could change everything again.As I argued,in many ways screens have become too dominant in our lives.The sooner we find something else,the better.Section BDirections: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.A.ultimatelyB.prominentC.separatingD.implicationsE.controversialF.indefinitelyG.allegationspromisingI.wrestlingJ.postponementThe Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery was preparing the wall text in2014to accompany an image of the boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr..During the process,the Washington museum decided to note that Mr.Mayweather had been“charged with domestic violence on several occasions,”receiving“punishments ranging from community service to jail time.”Such context is common for___31___subjects in art,but far less so for artists Themselves—centuries of men like Picasso or Schiele who were known for mistreating women,but whose works hang in___32___museums without any asterisks(星号).Now,museums around the world are___33___with the___34___of a decision,by the National Gallery of Art in Washington,to___35___postpone a Chuck Close exhibition because of___36___of sexual harassment(骚扰)involving potential portrait models that have involved the artist in controversy.Mr.Close has called the allegations“lies”and said he is“being severely criticized.”The___37___has raised difficult questions about what to do with the paintings and photographs of Mr.close—held by museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,the Tate in London and the Pompidou and Paris,as well as by high-spending collectors—and whether the work of other artists accused of questionable conduct needs to be revisited.It is a provocative(引起争论的)moment for the art world,as the public debate about___38___creative output from personal conduct moves from popular culture into the realm of major visual artists from different eras and the institutions that have long collected and exhibited their pieces.“We’re very used to having to defend people in the collection,but it’s always been for the sitter”rather than the artist,said Kim Sajet,director of the Portrait Gallery,which has a large body of Mr.Close’s work.“Now we have to think to ourselves,”“Do we need to do that about Chuck Close?’”“You can’t talk about portraiture an America without talking about Chuck Close,”she added.“There are lots of amazing artists who have been less than admirable people.”Whatever museums___39___decide to do about Mr.Close,some say they can no longer afford to simply present art without___40___the issues that surround the artist—that institutions must play a more active role in educating the public about the human beings behind the work.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 word or phrase that best fits the context.Microsoft Corp founder Bill Gates caught people’s eye in a recent interview,when he suggested that robots should be taxed in order to help humans keep their jobs.Gates is only one of many people in the tech world who have worried about automation and its___41___to workers.It’s easy to see why the tech world is___42___.The rise of machine learning has increased the fear that ___43___humans could simply become obsolete--___44___,3.5million American truck drivers might soon find their jobs threatened by driverless trucks.Though in the past,technology usually complemented workers ___45___replacing them,there’s no law of nature saying the technology of the future will work the same.A few economists even claim that cheap automation has already___46___income from workers to company owners. Another___47___is that even if the mass of humanity ultimately does find new ways to add value by complementing new technology—to“race with the machines,”as economist Erik Brynjolfsson puts it—this transition could take a long time and hurt a lot of people.As Bloomberg View’s Tyler Cowen has noted,wages in Britain fell for four decades at the start of the Industrial Revolution.More___48___,we’ve seen very slow and painful adjustment to the impact of globalization.If the machine learning revolution hurts workers for40 years before ultimately helping them,it might be worth it to___49___that revolution______and give them time to adjust.The main argument against taxing the robots is that it might hold back___50___.Growth in rich countries has slowed markedly in the past decade,suggesting that it’s getting harder and harder to find new ways of doing things.Stagnating productivity,combined with falling business investment,suggests that___51___of new technology is currently too slow rather than too fast—the biggest problem right now isn’t too many robots,it’s too few.Taxing new technology,however,it’s done,could make that slowdown worse.The problem with Gate’s basic proposal is that it’s very hard to tell the difference between new technology that ___52___humans and new technology that replaces them.This is especially true over the long term.Power looms (织布机)replaced human weavers back in the Industrial Revolution.___53___,people eventually became more productive,by learning to operate those looms.If taxes had slowed the development of power looms,the eventual improvements would have come later.This is a powerful argument___54___the taxation of automation.Gates is right to say that we should startgiven the importance of sustaining innovation,we should look at___55___policies.41.A.resistance B.threat C.admission D.dedication42.A.frightened B.worried C.intolerant D.offensive43.A.few B.several C.many D.any44.A.in other words B.for example C.of course D.by

D.matures53.A.However B.Therefore C.Consequently D.Furthermore54.A.from B.against C.by D.besides55.A.uppermost B.stimulating C.persistent D.alternativeSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I remember meeting him one evening with his pushcart.I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow.It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight.I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked.They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts,then down along the avenues to the East Side.I met my father near Cooper Union.I recognized him,a hunched,frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart.He looked so lonely,the tears came to my eyes.Then he saw me,and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile―Charlie Chaplin’s smile."Arch,it’s Mikey,"he said."So you have sold your papers!Come and eat a banana."He offered me one.I refused it.I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas,not give them away.He thought I was shy,and coaxed and joked with me,and made me eat the banana.It smelled of wet straw and snow."You haven’t sold many bananas today,pop,"I said anxiously.He shrugged his shoulders."What can I do?No one seems to want them."It was true.The work crowds pushed home morosely(愁眉苦脸的)over the pavements.The rusty sky darkened over New York buildings,the tall street lamps were lit,countless trucks,street cars and elevated trains clattered by.Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father’s bananas."I ought to yell,"said my father dolefully."I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers,but it makes my throat sore.Anyway,I’m ashamed of yelling,it makes me feel like a fool."I had eaten one of his bananas.My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow.I must remain here and help my father."I’ll yell for you,pop,"I volunteered."Arch,no,"he said,"go home;you have worked enough today.Just tell momma I’ll be late."But I yelled and yelled.My father,standing by,spoke occasional words of praise,and said I was a wonderfulyeller.Nobody else paid attention.The workers drifted past us wearily,endlessly;a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home.Elevated trains crashed;the Cooper Union clock burned above us;the sky grew black,the wind poured,the slush burned through our shoes.There were thousands of strange,silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow.None of them stopped to buy bananas.I yelled and yelled,nobody listened.My father tried to stop me at last."Nu,"he said smiling to console me,"that was wonderful yelling,Mikey.But it’s plain we are unlucky today!Let’s go home."I was frantic,and almost in tears.I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells.But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him.56.“Unyoked”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A.sentB.releasedC.pouredD.removed57.What is the theme of the story?A.The miserable life of factory workers.B.How to survive in a bitter environment.C.Generation gap between the father and the son.D.Love between the father and the son.58.What is the author’s attitude towards the father and the son?A.IndifferentB.SympatheticC.AppreciativeD.Difficult to tell(B)There are two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult:the need to make every component as reliable as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible.The fact that an airplane is up in the air and can't stop if anything goes wrong,makes it perhaps a matter of life or death that its performance is absolutely dependable.Given a certain power of engine,and consequently a certain fuel consumption,there is a practical limit to the total weight of an aircraft that can be made to fly.Out of that weight as much as possible is wanted for fuel,radio navigational instruments,passenger seats,or freight room,and,of course,the passengers or freight themselves.So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency will allow.The designer must calculate the normal load that each part will bear.This specialist is called the"stress man."He takes account of any unusual stress that may be put on the part as a precaution against errors in manufacture,accidental damage, etc.The stress man's calculations go to the designer of the part,and he must make it as strong as the stress man says is necessary.One or two samples are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended.Each separate part is tested,then a whole assembly—for example,a complete wing,and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made,normally only one of the first three made will be flown.Two will be destroyed on the ground in strict tests.The third one will be tested in the air.When a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government certificate of airworthiness,without which it is illegal to fly,except for test flying.Making the working parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough.The flying controls,the electrical equipment,the fire precautions,etc.must not only be light in weight,but must work both at high altitudes where the temperature may be below freezing point and in the hot air of an airfield in the tropics.To solve all these problems the aircraft industry has a large number of research workers,with elaborate laboratories and test houses,and new materials to give the best strength in relation to weight are constantly being tested.59.The two main requirements of aircraft design are___.第4页/共9页A.speed and costB.reliability and passenger comfortC.lightness and dependabilityD.Ability to stay up in the air and reliability60.The maximum possible weight of an aircraft is determined by_____.A.the engine powerB.the amount of freight roomC.the number of passengersD.international regulations61.The first three aeroplanes of a new type_____.A.are only for slowB.are all destroyedC.are later broken up for spare partsD.are used for testing purposes62.All equipment in an aircraft must____.A.be tested to destructionB.not be too light in weightC.work especially well at high temperaturesD.work perfectly within a wide range of temperatures(C)For all the pressures and rewards of regionalization and globalization,local identities remain the most deeply impressed.Even if the end result of globalization is to make the world smaller,its scope seems to foster the need for more intimate local connections among many individuals.As Bernard Poignant,mayor of the town of Quimper in Brittany,told the Washington Post,“Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments.The more open the world becomes,the more ties there will be to one’s roots and one’s land.”In most communities,local languages such as Poignant’s Breton serve a strong symbolic function as a clear mark of“authenticity(原真性)”.The sum total of a community’s shared historical experience,authenticity reflects a perceived(感知到的)line from a culturally idealized past to the present,carried by the language and traditions associated with the community’s origins.A concern for authenticity leads most secular(世俗的)Israelis to champion(捍卫,维护)Hebrew among themselves while also acquiring English and even Arabic.The same obsession with authenticity drives Hasidic Jews in Israel or the Diaspora to champion Yiddish while also learning Hebrew and English.In each case,authenticity amounts to a central core of cultural beliefs and interpretations that are not only resistant to globalization but also are actually reinforced by the“threat”that globalization seems to present to these historical values.Scholars may argue that cultural identities change over time in response to specific reward systems.But locals often resist such explanation and defend authenticity and local mother tongues against the perceived threat of globalization with near religious eagerness.As a result,never before in history have there been as many standardized languages as there are today: roughly1,200.Many smaller languages,even those with far fewer than one million speakers,have benefited from state-sponsored or voluntary preservation movements.On the most informal level,communities in Alaska and the American northwest have formed Internet discussion groups in an attempt to pass on Native American language to younger generations.In the Basque,Catalan,and Galician regions of Spain,such movements are fiercely political and frequently involve loyal resistance to the Spanish government over political and linguistic rights.Projects have ranged from a campaign to print Spanish money in the four official languages of the state to the creation of language immersion nursery and primary schools.Zapatistas in Mexico are championing the revival of Mayan languages in an equally political campaign for local autonomy(自治权).In addition to causing the feeling of the subjective importance of local roots,supporters of local languages defend their continued use on practical grounds.Local tongues foster higher levels of school success,higher degrees of participation in local government,more informed citizenship,and betterabout industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audience.Development workers in West Africa,for example,have found that the best way to teach the vast number of farmers with little or no formal education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues.Nevertheless,both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multi-literate.63.In paragraph1,the author quoted a mayor’s word to show that globalization___.A.strengthens local identitiesB.weakens regionalizationC.strengthens individualismD.weakens local attachments64.The influence of globalization on authenticity is that it_____.A.weakens the authority of authenticityB.prevents the development of authenticityC.enhances the importance of authenticityD.promotes the maturity of authenticity65.In terms of campaigns for language protection,America differs from Spain and Mexico in that____.A.its volunteers have enough sponsorship from the stateB.its locals are not interested in finding native AmericansC.its youths are eager to pass on the local traditionsD.its movements are not political66.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Practically,local languages are less used than English.B.Local languages are more important in daily life.C.The smaller the world is,the more united the locals are.D.The relation between localization and globalization is double-win.(D)Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Most parents know that they need life insurance.But many would rather have a root canal than shop for the best life insurance policy.“People don’t think about,‘What will my family do if I am gone and not earning a living?’”says Peter Katt,afee-only life insurance adviser.“The whole point of this kind of planning is to provide the family with maximum flexibility so they’re not stuck.”Planning for your death is not a cheerful topic.Too often,parents make a quick decision,ignoring important considerations.Among their mistakes one is that they do not buy enough life insurance. ___67___“They don’t think that the person who is not bringing in an income needs life insurance,”says Greg Daugherty,executive editor of Consumers Union.But if that person dies,the other parent can’t stop working and usually has to pay someone to help care for the family.___68___.Katt recommended that one young couple should buy$3million for the husband who earns$100,000a year and$1million for the stay-at-home wife.At the same time,many families rely on employer-provided life insurance,but employer-provided coverage is rarely sufficient to support your family.Many employer-provided policies provide a death of$10,000to$25,000—barely enough to cover your funeral expense.Some employers provide a year’s salary,but that may also fall well short of the amount your family would need to maintain its standard of living. Some employers let workers buy group life insurance through payroll deductions.They may be a good deal for workers who have health problems that would disqualify them for an individual policy.But if you’re young and healthy,you may be able to get a better rate on your own.Another drawback is that if you leave your job,you may not be able to take your insurance.“Given the job market,most of us are not absolutely certain that our jobs are secure,”Daugherty says.“___69___.”On the other hand,some families buy too much insurance.Not everyone needs life insurance.Some people buy life insurance for babies,which is unnecessary,unless the baby is a child model who is supporting the family,Daugherty says:The purpose of insurance is to replace the income that a family has been relying on Single people and those who have no children to care for usually don’t need life insurance.Katt says a man with substantial savings in stocks and bonds and other sources of income recently asked him how much life insurance he needs.“I said none,”Katt says.“___70___.”Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.What It Means to Be a Student Athlete?Chances are if you make it too college athletics,you have already put countless hours,blood,sweat and tears into the sport you play.College athletics is the next step in becoming a better athlete.But it is like a hidden life that only the dedicated workers get to experience.While the average college student schedules classes later than10 a.m.,most student athletes—me included—get out of bed at6a.m.and get in practice.We must schedule our classes around our practices to make sure that we can give100percent both in the classroom and at practice.Student athletes may experience the joy of going to class sweaty after lifting weights without having any time to shower.Your average girl student,by contrast,comes in wearing a nice outfit and a full face of make-up.When the average student shows up to class45minutes late,it often angers the student athlete who has been up since the crack of dawn.Some might say student athletes are not smart and that they’re only there to play sports.My response to that would be:Try training20hours a week and then being attentive every day in class.The free time that we do have is spent at the study hall studying for upcoming tests.Being a student athlete is much more than the early wake-up time.It is much more than tight schedule. It is much more than no free time.Being a student athlete means that we put our school’s name on our backs and represent it doing what we love.We have worked hard to get where we are and that pride of stepping up on game day is worth everysweat.Being a student athlete means that we are among the most athletic ones in our age group.We get to meet other athletes who are gifted and dedicated.We get to create bonds with those who share a passion for athletics. Being a student athlete means that young kids look up to us in an admirable way.We have the influence to give them power and keep them reaching for their dreams.When we look back on our time with college athletics,we won’t remember how much we hated specific exercises.We will remember the pure joy and great pride that we feel in doing what we love with those who we love.第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.这项校园禁令适用于手机,平板和智能手表。

But the American actress has also made a name for herself in the activism(社会活动) world by getting __36__ in number of charitable projects. While she has been seen as a key figure in raising global attention to gender equality(性别平等) lately, her activist nature dates back to her elementary school days.One day more than two decades ago, Markle was watching a TV program at school when a dish-washing liquid commercial appeared on the screen. What attracted her attention was its tagline(品牌宣言):“Women all over America are fighting greasy(油腻的) pots and pans.” Two boys from her class said, “Yeah, that’s where women belong – in the kitchen.” Markle felt so shocked and angry at their response that she __37__ to herself, “It just isn’t right and something needs to be done.”After getting home, the young Markle decided to make __38__ to the manufacturer P&G Meanwhile, she wrote to three __39__ women, including former U.S. first lady Hillary Clinton. To Markle’s surprise, she received letters of encouragement from all three women, and a camera crew even came to her house in Los Angeles to cover the story.The campaigning didn’t just encourage discussion and change on a local level either. Roughly a month later, P&G changed the commercial for their dish-washing liquid from “women all over America” to “people all over America.” It was at that moment that Markle realized the importance of her actions. By the age of 11, she had created her small level of __40__ by standing up for gender equality.Looking back on her experience of somehow accidentally becoming a women’s __41__ activist, Markle reminded girls, “It isn’t enough to simply talk about equality. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it. One must work at it. Women need a seat at the table; they need an invitation to be seated there. And in some cases where this isn’t __42__, they need to create their own table.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection AScientists in Norway have some good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink or the beans can help with weight loss, __43__ one’s risk of developing some diseases, promote muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce one’s risk of premature(早于预期的) death, among many other __44__. Now it is said that a cup of __45__ reduces physical pain. The surprising finding is __46__ a study involving 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90 minutes performing computer tasks meant to finish office work. The tasks were known to __47__ pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists. The researchers wanted to __48__ how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated(忍受) the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test “to avoid __49__ effects of caffeine lack, e.g. decreased vigor, sleepiness, and exhaustion.” they reported. When it came time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway’s National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a __50__ intensity(强度) of pain than the 29 people who didn’t. In the shoulders and neck, __51__ the average pain was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for the non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee’s obvious pain-reduction effect __52__. However, the authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal, BMC Research Notes, warn that the results of the study come with many __53__. For starters, the researchers don’t know how much coffee the coffee drinkers consumed(消耗) before taking the computer tests. __54__, they doubt whether the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were __55__ in all aspects except for their coffee consumption. Problems like these tend to __56__ the importance of the findings. But those doubts are __57__ to trouble the coffee drinkers looking for any reason not to cut back on their daily caffeine habit.43.

A. unlikely B. orderly C. jealous D. capableSection B(A)Leonardo da Vinci was one of the great creative minds of the Italian Renaissance(文艺复兴), not only hugely influential as an artist and sculptor but also immensely talented as an engineer, scientist and inventor.Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He was apprenticed(便当学徒) to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From 1495 to 1497 he produced a mural of The Last Supper in the refectory of the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.Da Vinci was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family was forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survived was the famous Mona Lisa (1503-1506).In 1506, Da Vinci returned to Milan, remaining there until 1513. This was followed by three years based in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French king Francis I, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May 1519.The fame of Da Vinci’s surviving paintings has meant that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show the most brilliant of minds. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy(which he studied in order to paint the human form more accurately), flight, gravity and optics, often moving from subject to subject on a single page, and writing in left-handed mirror script. He “invented” the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.If all this work had been published in a form easy to understand, Da Vinci’s place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond dispute. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two – an ‘artist-engineer.’ His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams show what he meant and how he understood the way the world works.58.How many years did Da Vinci spend in Milan altogether?A. 2 years.B. 23 years.C. 7 years.D. 16 years.59.Which of the following places may Da Vince not have visited?A. FlorenceB. FranceC. VeniceD. Rome60.What does the word “anatomy” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. The scientific study of the structure of human or animal bodies.B. The scientific study of people, their societies, cultures, etc.C. The study of ancient societies by examining what remains of their buildings, tools, etc.D. The scientific study of the stars and planets.61.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Da Vinci passed away at the age of 67 in France.B. Da Vinci tended to focus on several subjects on one single page in his notebook.C. Da Vinci had designed the helicopter centuries before it was actually invented.D. Da Vinci was more of a scientist than an artist because he was a pioneer scientist of his age.(B)Welcome to the Universities Summer School.

Summer School students meet their tutors only on the first day they arrive at Eton.(C)Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over the next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the Earth tends to cause warming,while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists had suggested that fires in northern regions sped up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants were released into the atmosphere and thus trapped heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone (臭氧) levels increased, and ashes from the fire fell on faroff sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the landscape within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,” scientists said. They tracked the change in the amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the Earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicted, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the Earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the Earth.65.According to the new findings, efforts to prevent northern forest fires may _______.A. lead to a longer fire seasonB. be followed by more forest firesC. help safeguard the forests thereD. give rise to a warming climate66.The following are the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT that ________.A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB. the levels of ozone increaseC. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD. ashes from the fire fall on the ice and darken the surface67.Earlier studies about northern forest fires _______.A. had appealed to the public for more action to protect the environmentB. had suggested that the fires would speed up climate warmingC. had explained all aspects of how northern fires would influence the climateD. had indicated that forest fires would cause pollution in the atmosphere68.It can be concluded that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may ________.A. warm the climate as the assumption(假设) goesB. make more space for the growth of young treesC. help to gain more energy rather than release more energyD. cool the climate by reflecting(反射) more sunlight back into atmosphereSection CA. I suggest 20 minutes in one language and then switch to the other language for another 20 minutes.B. Since you are also teaching someone your native tongue in exchange for learning theirs, it’s a win-win situation and you both learn something for free!C. For this reason, I recommend taking the initiative to learn on your own using an online language software before reaching out to others to help you.D. It really is an all-in-one interactive package that makes learning fun.E. Everyone learns differently, so it is important that you discuss what method will work for both of you and how your exchanges are conducted.F. Learning on your own has many benefits.If you ever wanted to learn a new language, I recommend that you test the waters on your own before working with a teacher. __69__ You can set your own goals and track your progress of how you are doing and it forces you to be more proactive and take greater initiative(主动性) for your own learning. Here are three easy steps for learning a language on your own!Step 1: Online Language SitesLearning always begins with the self. __70__ The first time I tried to learn French online, I used Babbel, and I loved it! I love their site because it is very interactive and makes learning more interesting! They don’t make you learn a lot of information at once. Instead, it breaks it down in chapters and introduces only a few vocabulary each time. Then, it tests your memory using multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks. Finally, it ends off with a listening comprehension session, where you learn how the words are now used in the context of a real conversation.Step 2: Find a Language PartnerOnce you have started to grasp some basic grammar and vocabulary, it is time to find someone topractice with you! Personally, this is my favorite part because I like meeting and helping people, so this is killing two birds with one stone. __71__ For many years, I have used Conversation Exchange to help me find a language partner when I am in a new city. However, if you prefer an online conversation, they can also do that too!Step 3: Practice Makes Perfect!Take some time to meet a few language partners before you decide who is going to work best for your learning style. __72__ One way that I like to practice is to try to create sentences on my own, for example, “I like to ________ in my free time.” Since I don’t know the word in my target language, I will be forced to look it up in the dictionary to complete my sentence.
