There is a never-ending flow of fun things to do. But, people who live there do not always enjoy the day-after-day absence of sunshine during the winter months.It is a documented fact that sunshine (or lack of it) plays a major role in how each of us meets the day. It also affects how we perform at school or work. When people are deprived of sunlight, they can develop seasonal affective disorder, which makes it difficult for them to feel happy or get things accomplished. No major city in the United States is more affected by the “sunshine factor” than Seattle.To fight drizzle and fog during the winter months, Steve Murphy created a business that is very popular among the locals. The Indoor Sun Shoppe is more than a little ray of sunshine during the gray days of Seattle’s winter. His shop offers a huge source of plants and artificial lighting for people who are trying to overcome seasonal affective disorder.Located in Fremont, Washington, The Indoor Sun Shoppe has an amazing collection of exotic (奇异的) plants and “good bugs” in a humid and well-lit environment. At The Indoor Sun Shoppe, you can spend up to $400 for artificial lighting that will chase away the winter blues. It will also keep your plants healthy. You can buy a dawn simulator(模拟器) that will gradually fill your room with a warming wake-up glow. What better way to meet a Seattle morning when real sunshine is nothing more than a happy thought!Murphy’s in-home waterfalls are also popular with customers. But his plants and lights remain the “main course.” On a cloudy winter day, The Indoor Sun Shoppe is a bright spot in Seattle!65.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Seattle is located in the state of Washington.B. Citizens love Seattle for their colorful city lives.C. Sunshine in Seattle is rare during the winter months.D. People who live in Seattle are used to the sunshine absence.66. Which of the following best defines the term seasonal affective disorder in Para.2?A. mild temperature and a general feeling of illness caused by gray winterB. exhaustion, depression and lack of energy caused by a lack of sunlightC. winter-related illness caused by the low temperature and little sunlightD. post-holiday depression that comes when relatives leave after Christmas67.

A bringer of indoor artificial sunshine when there is none outside.C. An automatic waterfall system helping make indoor plants healthy.D. A better way to meet a Seattle morning with real warming sunshine.(B)The following activities are offered for guests of the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel.

Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre ___________.A. attracts guests as one of the largest public parks in DisneylandB. is a right place for in-house guests to reduce rednessC. provides guests with both indoor and outdoor activitiesD. offers all guests 50% off for renting one hour pedal boat71.

IQ Fun Zone helps children below 7 to cultivate their team spirit(C)Throughout the centuries, various writers have contributed greatly to the literary treasure trove of books lining the shelves of today’s libraries. In addition to writing interesting material, many famous writers, such as Edgar Allan Poe, were larger-than-life characters with personal histories that are as interesting to read as the stories they wrote. Poe’s rocky life included being driven off from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831 and an ongoing battle with alcohol. Yet, despite heavy gambling debts, poor health, and terrible unemployment, Poe managed to produce a body of popular works, including “The Raven” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.”Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, once lived among the man-eaters in the Marquesas Islands and wrote unusual tales inspired by his years of service in the U.S. Navy. Dublin-born Oscar Wilde was noted for his charismatic personality, his outrageous lifestyle, and creating witty catchphrases such as, “Nothing succeeds like excess.” D.H. Lawrence wrote shameful novels that were often cut, and Anne Rice led a double life writing bestselling horrible novels under her real name and using “A.N. Roquelaure” for the lowbrow unhealthy novels she penned on the side.Nonconformist(不墨守成规的)author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau once fled to the woods and generated enough interesting material to fill his noted book Walden. Thoreau wrote on the issue of passive resistance protest in his essay “Civil Disobedience” and served time in jail for refusing tax payments in protest of the United States government’s policy towards slavery. American short story writer O. Henry’s colorful life was ruined by tragic events, such as being accused and sentenced for stealing money from an Austin, Texas bank. Despite his success selling his short stories, O. Henry struggled financially and was nearly bankrupt when he died.As diverse as these famous authors’ backgrounds were, they all led unconventional lives while writing great literary works that will endure throughout the ages. The next time you read an interesting book, consider learning more about the author by reading his or her biography so you can learn about the unique life experiences that shaped his or her writing.72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Edgar Allan Poe?A. He had his own interesting personal history as other famous writers.B. He graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831.C. He once had heavy gambling debts and fell down with illness.D. He managed to produce popular works no matter how rocky his life was.73. What can you infer from Para.2?A. D.H. Lawrence and Anne Rice once wrote similar type of novels.B. Anne Rice used a pen name because her novels were quite popular.C. Anne Rice used different names when she wrote bestselling novels.D. Henry David Thoreau enriched his books by living in the forests.74. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Henry David Thoreau was passionately opposed to horrible events.B. Anne Rice always used a pen name to conceal her true identity.C. Herman Melville stayed with man-eaters during his naval service.D. O Henry’s life was colorful though he had lots of difficulties.75. The passage mainly tells us that ______.A. many famous writers lived nontraditional livesB. most famous writers were usually troublemakersC. writers had to lead interesting lives to generate materialsD. the biographies of famous writers are always inspirationalSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. We’ll extend our lifespan.B. We’ll know the origin of Earth.C. We’ll have a brain “road map”.D. We’ll advance brain forms.E. We’ll “manage” our Earth.F. We’ll conquer cancer.It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century.76.the 1920s, scientists have known the universe is expanding, which means it must have started at a definite item in the past. They even have developed theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution of the universe from the time it was a fraction of second old to the present. Over the next couple of decades, these theories will be refined by date from extraordinary powerful new telescope. We will have a better understanding of how matter behaves at the mysteriously high temperatures and pressures of the early universe.77.In 19th-century operas, when the heroine coughs in the first act, the audience knows she will die of tuberculosis(肺结核) in Act 3. But thanks to 20th-century medicine, the once-dreaded, once-incurable disease now can mean nothing more serious than taking some bills. As scientists learn more about the genetic code and the way cells work at the molecular level, many serious diseases—cancer, for one—will become less threatening. Using manufactured “therapeutic” viruses, doctors will be able to replace cancer-causing damaged DNA with healthy genes, probably administered by a pill or injection.78.a furious, invisible contest in our cells—a contest between damage—then 21st-century strides in genetic medicine may let us control and even reverse the process. But before we push scientists to do more, consider: Do we really want to live in a world where no one grows old and few children are born because the planet can hold only so many people? Where would new ideas come from? What would we do with all that extra time?79.We’ll gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity on the Earth, its climate and its ecosystems. And with that knowledge will come an increasing willingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet.80.21st century: The most complex system of our body contains about 100 billion neurons (神经元)(roughly the number of stars in the Milky Way), each connected to as many as 1,000 others. In this century, we will use advanced forms of magneticresonance imaging to produce detailed maps of the neurons in operation. We’ll be able to say with certainty which ones are working when you read a word, when you say a word, when you think about a word, and so on.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The first explorers who saw totem poles called them “monstrous figures.” Missionaries(传教士) thought that the Native Americans worshipped the totem poles, and they encouraged their destruction. But the missionaries were wrong. Even today, when people refer to the “low man on the totem pole, ” they do not realize that the largest figure was usually on the bottom and was the most important.The origin of the first totem pole is uncertain. It is known that totem poles told stories about rich and important Native American families. An artist carved the pole to represent a family’s traits and personal strengths and even to have hidden meanings.Poles were carved from cedar（雪松木）, using handmade tools. The chisel（凿子）used for carving was made from an animal horn. The adze, which was like an ax, had a hard stone blade. Once finished carving, the artist used animal-hair brushes to paint the poles. Some poles stood as high as 60 feet(180m).Native Americans celebrated important life events—such as births or marriages—with huge feasts called potlatches. One of the highlights of the party was the raising of a new totem pole. As trade expanded along the Northwest Coast, more Native American families had totem poles.However, in 1884 the Canadian government outlawed the potlatch. Not long after, the United States followed suit. As children grew up and left the tribe, the art of carving totem poles began to die out.Many years later, totem poles that had been bought or stolen from Native American villages began showing up in museums. People started to realize the significance of totem poles, and the art of carving them was resurrected. Old poles were restored, and new poles were created. Today, the craft is alive and well again, and totem poles can be seen around the Northwest United States and Canada.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What did missionaries want to do with the totem poles?82. What’s the main purpose of totem poles?83. The art of carving totem poles faded away during the 1800s because ______________.84.

上海市2013届高三一模考试英语汇编解答题Word版无答案

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——简答（长宁）“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.”Although this might be excellent advice in matters concerning family and friends, borrowing and lending are frequently the foundation of a booming economy.A loan is a sum of money borrowed for a limited period. A loan may be obtained from an individual or from an institution such as a bank and is generally granted at a specific rate of interest. Interest is the fee that the borrower pays to use the money. An extremely high rate of interest --- and certainly any amount more than law permits --- is called usury. Lending money can be a risky business, for there is always the possibility that the borrower may not be able to pay the loan. For this reason, a lender generally requires the borrower to register something valuable of his or hers, known as collateral (抵押), as a part of the loan agreement. A house or an automobile, investments in the stock market, even the value of a business, are all examples of collateral that a lender may be willing to accept in the event that the borrower fails to pay the loan.There are two major sorts of loans: consumer loans and commercial loans. A consumer loan is one that is made to an individual, and it may be to buy a house or an automobile or to finance an education. A commercial loan may be used to start a new business, pay for new equipment and staff, or expand an office or factory. The business of making loans also contributes to a healthy economy by enhancing the employment market. Loans allow consumers to buy and improve homes, creating jobs for carpenters, architects and etc. Loans enable businesses to expand, and when these businesses open a branch office or a new store, they also increase their consumption of office supplies, furnishings, and computers.In a booming economy, money circulates quickly, and each deal represents earnings for someone. It may be reasonable to say that a certain level of debt is normal, even necessary, to a healthy economy as long as the individual borrower or business is careful and try not to take on more than a manageable amount of debt.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.“Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” is excellent advice for keeping good family and friendswhile it is __________.82.What is the purpose of collateral in a loan agreement?83.Different from commercial loans, consumer loans may be used to __________.84.How can the individual borrower or business profit from a booming economy?81. not for building / developing a booming / fast-growing economy82. To prevent the borrower from not paying the loan. / …83. fulfill / achieve the purpose of personal development / …84. By being careful and avoiding being in too much debt / …（闸北）A son in many developing countries means insurance, who will inherit his father's property and help support the family. However, to parents, a daughter is just another expense. Her place is in the home, not in the world of men. A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy. Her future is, to some extent, shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater, which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career.Deep discrimination (歧视)against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential. It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm. These “servants of the household" come to accept that li fe will never be any different. What's most harmful, it results not only in millions of individual tragedies, but also in the lost potential for the entire country. Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress. The status of women is central to the health of a society. If one part suffers, so does the whole.To deal with the situation, many women turn to education. Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination, starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women. Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia, for instance, are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education.Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later, survive childbirth, have fewer and healthier children, and make sure their own children complete school. Understanding the importance of hygiene (卫生）and nutrition, they are more likely to stay in physical wellness.Nevertheless, the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education. As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs, they gain status in their communities, which translates into the power to influence their families and societies. Such power may, together with other forces of outside interference, make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries?82. The most severe result of discrimination against women is ________________________.83. Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy?84. High social position at home helps women to have the ability to ________________________.81. Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater.82. the lost potential for the entire country83. Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition.84. influence their families and societies（杨浦）Pizza Hut lovers, you can now smell just like your favorite food. Pizza Hut launches its own perfume that smells like a fresh pizza pie. This is not a joke — although it started as one! While it might seem like an unusual venture for the brand famous for pizza, the company’s perfume is already available as a limited edition product. fuck myselfAccording to the Globe and Mail, the project started out as a joke by Grip Limited, an advertising firm that works with Pizza Hut in Canada, who asked the chai n’s Facebook fans to imagine the pleasant smell of a fresh-delivered pie as a perfume — and to name it. Fans responded to the idea so enthusiastically that Grip Limited decided to take the joke a step further and make the perfume a reality.A month and a half later, to celebrate that Pizza Hut Canada had gotten 100,000 fans, the chain’s community managers announced that the first 100 people to message them would actually get a bottle of Pizza Hut perfume. And sure enough, the bottles were shipped to those 100 lucky fans before Christmas.Grip Limited isn’t the only company to attract attention with odd aromas (芳香). Four years ago, Burger King offered a $4 meat-scented body spray for men. Before that in 2006, Stilton created a perfume meant to mimic (模拟) the scent of blue cheese.Pizza Hut Canada has not announced any plans to make more of the perfume in the future. But the chain also said in the release that it’s possible the perfume could appear in stores in the future. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. Some people consider the perfume a joke because they think Pizza Hut is a _______________.82. _______________________________ pushed Grip Limited to turn the joke into reality.83. Who are the lucky birds to get the perfume?84. Why did Pizza Hut follow Burger King’s steps to release a perfume?81. famous brand for pizza82.

To attract public attention（徐汇）If you need another reason to give thanks at the dinner table on Thanksgiving Day, how’s this: people who maintain an “attitude of gratitude” tend to be happier and healthier than those who don’t, according to an instructive article this week in the Wall Street Journal.The WSJ’s Melinda Beck reports that adults who feel grateful have “more energy, more optimism, more social connections and more happiness than those who do not, according to studies conducted over the past decade. Now a new study conducted by researchers at HofstraUniversity — the results of which are set to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies — finds similar benefits of gratitude for adolescents as well.Dr. Jeffrey J. Froh, assistant professor of psychology and lead researcher of the new study, surveyed 1,035 students aged from 14 to 19 and found that grateful students reported higher grades, more life satisfaction, better social integration and less envy and depression than their peers who were less thankful and more materialistic. Additionally, feelings of gratitude had a more powerful impact on the students’ lives overall than materialism.What the majority of the research suggests is that gratitude should be chronic（长期的）in order to make a lasting difference in well-being. Dr. Robert Emmons, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and a pioneer in gratitude research, told the WSJ that in orderto reap（收获）all of its benefits, feeling gratitude must be rooted into your personality, and you must frequently acknowledge and be thankful for the role other people play in your happiness: “The key is not to leave it on the Thanksgiving table,” he said.For older children and adults, one simple way to cultivate gratitude is to literally count your blessings. Keep a journal and regularly record whatever you are grateful for that day. Be specific.

It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, weselected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the itinerary, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport / train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding THE transportation despite obvious communication issues since we did not speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, as we visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What made the couple choose China Highlights during their visit to China?82. The overseas visitors were satisfied with China Highlights services except ___________________.83. During their visit, not only the sights but also ________________ made a great impression on them.84.

But in reality, the predators（食肉动物） are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people’s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline to 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near the Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.“The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,” grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. “The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don’t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to.”India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. “The tiger’s rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go all out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict,” says a wildlife conservationist.Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. “Tigers never kill for s port nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. ”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words)81. PETA hopes “Life of Pi” can __________________________________.82. Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?83. As a result of the loss of habitat, __________________________________ are more likely to bethe big cat’s victims.84.

But the report is “exactly a science-based assessment.”It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?81. FDA concluded foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are safe .82. the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk.83. human health, moral, religious and ethical84. They will be allowed to be labeled as not from clones.（浦东）We delight in the stories passed down to us by older generations.Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ true personalities that wedidn’t know before and can unite family members. But they are stilljust small pieces from a lifetime of experience, leaving a wealth ofpersonal memories and stories that can go untold.A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail in elegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in him outside the family.’Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happy because I have given my father this huge gift. It has made him happier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s go t more things to talk about and, I think, a sense of great pride.’‘Also it’s something he can hand down to future generations.We’re all thrilled with the book, delighted —and I’m sure he’llwant to do volume two very soon.’(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOMORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81.

Besides a project to focus on, what else can creating a LifeBook bring its author?81. reveal our loved ones’ true personalities but also unite family members82. It helps capture the rich, personal histories of our loved ones.83. someone was showing interest in him outside the family84. The benefits of face-to-face companionship.（闵行）At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly (不守规矩的) students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, excellent candidates for the teaching profession declined.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What are many teachers in the public schools of America complaining about?82. What is the consequence of the public school teachers’ leaving the profession?83. The changing status of women in the United States is one of the causes for women to________________________.84. According to the last paragraph, the status of the teachers in the United Sateswill _____________________ within years.81. low pay / being under-paid / not being well-paid82. causing some best students not to choose teaching profession / some best students don’tchoose teaching profession83. choose careers other than teaching / choose other careers instead of teaching84. not be changed / remain unchanged（静安）All we have a clock located inside our brains. Similar to your bedside alarm clock, your internal clock runs on a 24-hour cycle. This cycle, called a circadian (昼夜节奏的) rhythm, helps control when you wake, when you eat and when you sleep.Somewhere around puberty, something happens in the timing of the biological clock. The clock pushes forward, so adolescents and teenagers are unable to fall asleep as early as they used to. When your mother tells you it's time for bed, your body may be pushing you to stay up3 for several hours more. And the light coming from your computer screen or TV could be pushing you to stay up even later.This shift is natural for teenagers. But staying up very late and sleeping late can get your body's clock out of sync with the cycle of light and dark. It can also make it hard to get out of bed in the morning and may bring other problems, too. Teenagers are put in a kind of a gray cloud (提不起精神的状态) when they don't get enough sleep, says Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It affects their mood and their ability to think and learn.But just like your alarm clock, your internal clock can be reset. In fact, it automatically resets itself every day. How? By using the light it gets through your eyes.Scientists have known for a long time that the light of day and the dark of night play important roles in setting our internal clocks. For years, researchers thought that the signals that synchronize the body's clock were handled through the same pathways that we use to see. But recent discoveries show that the human eye has two separate light-sensing systems. One system allows us to see. The second system tells our body whether it's day or night.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The clock located inside our brains is similar to our bedside alarm clock because ________________________________________.82. Children before puberty tend to __________________________________than adolescents.83. The author wants to tell the reader that _____________________________________.84. What did the previous researchers think about the human eye's light-sensing system?81. it has a cycle of 24 hours82. fall asleep earlier at night83. staying up late affects teenagers' ability to think and learn.84. The human eye had one light-sensing system.（金山）Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank which was helped to build by a UK organization because of the lack of clean drinking water. The tank has made a big difference; it gives water to over 800 People. But lately, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have come down from the hill areas, and there will not be enough clean water to go round.There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400 km railway link, and about 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to grow. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are Available to those with satellite dishes.The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN's least-developed category by 2020.(Note: Answer the ques TlO ns or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

And the museum is much more spacious than community libraries, which provides visitors with a more comfortable environment for appreciating art.For the other, as a well-known museum, Shanghai Museum is more professional and experienced in holding art exhibitions.

上海英语历年一二模考试作文样例分析连载5样例5 2013届上海英语一模浦东新区Composition AAfter watching the picture myself, I can ’t help but look down upon the cat who says that “such time we live in! Why would you catch mice when we are given fish?”It reminds me of China ’s current situation. Nowadays, China ’s rising in a speed that has never been before. But that doesn ’t mean that we could sit and enjoy the fruits of China ’s rise. Under no circumstances could we indulge ourselves into the present life which seems to be5 wonderful without thinking that there may be potential danger hidden somewhere around us. If we didn ’t realize it, we will gradually leave the basic skills we already have behind. In this way, when someday there does come emergency, we will lose the power to face and defeat it.In conclusion, we need to be prepared whether it is good or bad.(141 words )Composition BThe picture generally describes a family of cats, who are enjoying their dinner which is fish. When one of the cats is trying to catch a mouse when given fish, another cat flattered him by saying that “why catching mice when given fish?”In my opinion, the cat is wrong, definitely! In our study, for example, we always get help from our classmates, sometimes in exams. We take it for granted that whenever we are stuck in5 trouble, there’s gonna be someone ready to help, we are wrong, like the cat. There is not someone like Lei Feng who is always ready to help others in this century. If we rely too much on others ’ help, one day when we don ’t get it and we do not have the skill to do it ourselves, we are dead! Why would you catch micewhen we are given fish?I want to say to the cat: you may laugh at the cat who chases the mice, but one day you’ll be10laughed at when you lose the skill to catch mice yourselves. Always remember: He who laughs last laughs best.(178 words) Composition CThe comic strip show a funny story happened between several cats. While one of the cats is catching mice when fed with fish, another cat asked why he did so when given fish.It catches my eye that it never occurred to the cat that one day they had to leave home and fed themselves. In other words, parents will pass away one day and at that time those cats will have no 5choice but to live on their own two feet. But if they don’t learn the skills that are required for survival, they will fail to be independent.It is an alarm for all the teenagers about my age, some of which are living in paradise with their mom handling housework and father chores. They refuse to do anything as long as they’re done by someone else. They fail to understand the importance of “practical skills”. When they 10cannot find anyone to look to, they will regret what they’ve done now.(163 words) Composition DWe can see from the picture that a cat doubts another cat’s behavior of catching mice when given fish. As far as I’m concerned, his behavior is quite understandable. Our learning experience can account for this.Some of the students are not satisfied with the school life for it teaches a student with nothing 5but knowledge. Thus, they focus on finding part-time jobs and skip classes from time to time, just like the cat who catches mice in the picture. As far as I’m concerned, it’s no need. As long as we are given knowledge (“the fish”), we should focus on it as long as it will contribute to our future life. If we are distracted from it and pay too much attention to practical experience, we forget that certificate does count in most cases.10In this sense, we need to first finish our main job first before we decide to do other things.(154 words) Composition EIt can be seen from the picture that the third cat from the left is questioning whether it is a must to chase a mouse or not when we are given fish. In my opinion, there is definitely a need to do so.It echoes with what military training is trying to teach students to do. During high school and 5college time, it is required in the curriculum that each individual should take part in the military training in order to graduate from the school and most students feel it disgusting to bear. But actually, we need not only knowledge but also real-life experience & technique which can be learned from social activity like military training and volunteer works. We may fail to feel that these things are of great importance until we are faced with enormous difficulties or challenges 10one day.Just like the cats who are given fish, we may fail to understand the brilliance of the cat who chases mice. But only when we have to catch fish ourselves will we understand the importance of it.(179 words)Composition FThe cat in the picture is questioning another cat the reason why the cat is chasing the mice at dinner. Likewise, many modern people are questioning whether it is needed to teach citizens the escape skills when we’re lived in a safe place.Or are we?5I think we still remember the big fire occurred in 2010 at Jiaozhou Rd, which took awaynearly 100 people’s life. Only afterwards do we begin to realize the importance of escape skills. It alarms us that there is a strong possibility that we may be stuck in such a condition one day. And if we don’t pick up these skills beforehand, we may fail to survive. And I’m serious.From this, we may conclude that it’s better that we figure out the importance of certain skills 10before certain disasters happened to us later on. If we take the cat who laughs at another one as an example, we may have a sad ending just like him!(163 words)Teaching steps™©P.F. Productions 版权所有保留一切合法权利本内容附教师版，有需要者请通过zhucanqi@163.。

The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea.

Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 .Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit. This exhibit 56 the important role that butterflies play in our environment.In recent years, environmental groups have made significant progress in 57 endangered butterfly populations. Governments throughout Asia have passed laws to help protect endangered wildlife, including butterflies.

If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill __50__ into an animal’s brain by its genetic heritage (基因遗传). Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is __51__. Cuing, in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all __52__ measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla (大猩猩) could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates (木板箱) on the lawn near the tree. She __53__ the crates into a pyramid, then climbed on them to reach her __54__. The gorilla’s insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows (乌鸦) use sticks to pry (撬开) peanuts out of cracks. The crow __55__intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do. __56__ , otter (水獭) use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 __57__ symbols on a keyboard. These symbols __58__ human words. An amazing parrot can __59__ five objects of two different types. He can understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to __60__ is a basic thinking skill. In addition, he seems to use language to express his needs and __61__. When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. I’m sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than __62__ thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or __63__ experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult __64__ even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50. A. developed B. admitted C. programmed D. injected51.

Participate in discussions, but do not distract (使分心) others,” Huang added. “It’s okay to hand in homework assigned by the teacher, but expect general advice rather than careful correction.”Auditing classes ___(62)___ or beyond one’s ability can be a waste of time, warns Xu Jun, 27, HR manager at Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group. “It’s good to audit some classes. But you have to manage your time well, as you can’t get any academic credit or formal ___(63)___ for these courses,” Xu suggested. “Even though your interests are important, your ___(64)___ is the first thing to consider at university.”50.

Research suggests there is not enough evidence to link the substance to cancer.A(n) 53 petrochemical factory in Zhenhai, which was built in 1975, processes 21 million tons of crude oil each year. The new PX plant will process 15 million Tons of crude oil every year, according to the Newspaper.At first sight, the villagers' 54 partly originated from the plan proposed by the local government to 55 their losses and to relocate them. The land will be used for purposes relating to the project.56 , the article says that the project actually mainly aroused the villagers' anger due to the local government not talking with them 57 about both compensation and 58 .It goes on to say that although 59 had all the relevant details, the villagers were left 60 when they requested information concerning their health and future.The article suggests that the local government draw lessons from the incident and establish effective communication 61 in order to respect the right of villagers to 62 such information.After receiving the information they 63 , the villagers would be more certain about their future and their suspicions could be 64 , the article concludes.50.A.protect B.persevere C.predict D.prevent51.A.enjoyment B.anger C.passion ziness52.A.definitely B.specially C.probably D.potentially53.A.past B.deserted C.existing D.closed54.A.concern B.excitement C.dissatisfaction D.delight55.A.make out B.make for C.make up for D.make of56.A.Therefore B.However C.Briefly D.Moreover57.A.impatiently B.effectively C.negatively D.vividly58.A.relocation B.health C.pollution D.production59.A.manufacturers B.authorities C.plants D.the public60.A.in the dark B.at thebottom C.around thecornerD.beyonddescription61.A.channels B.canals C.tunnels D.events62.A.convey B.present C.access D.eliminate63.A.owned B.doubted C.owed D.required64.A.removed B.enhanced C.existed D.proved50〜54 DBDCC 55〜59 CBBAB 60〜64 AACDA（青浦）Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp（流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 ,whistling as he went along.50.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,” they said.This theory — a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs — has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance,differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find __64__ — even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51.

In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said.58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.

上海高三英语一模作文范文汇编

2018年高三一模作文汇编2017年已接近尾声，还记得年初你为自己定下的小目标吗？不知你是否实现了你的小目标？发一个微信朋友圈来回顾一下吧（文中请不要出现真实的校名人名）。

你的朋友圈文字内容需包括：1. 你的2017年度小目标；2. 你为实现年度小目标所作的努力；3. 你实现（或没有实现）年度小目标的经验总结。

范文：My new year’s resolution for 2017 was that I should be able to communicate with foreign people in English. To achieve this goal, I had asked my English teacher for help. According to her suggestions, I made up a plan.Firstly, I started with simply reading English articles and found many pronunciation errors in my reading after listening to the video tape of its recording. Then, I tried to learn phonetics and practice one syllable after another again and again. I started with a single word, then a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph and finally the whole passage. After 3-month practice, I was able to read an article fluently without making any mistakes in pronunciation. I felt happy. Next, I practiced my listening. By listening to a passage four times, I required myself to take it down without spelling errors or any information blank. Last but not least, I installed an app called Shanbei Oral English on my phone to practice both my listening and speaking. It’s like having conversations with a robot. I had to understand what it said to me and answer its questions accordingly. After practicing for almost 8 months, I had my first talking session with an American teacher in our school. I was proud of myself.What I have learnt from this experience is something as a saying goes: no pain no gain. Though the process of learning could be dull and tiring, it’s worth all the efforts after I achieved my goal. Even if I didn’t, it’s still a valuable part of my life.阅卷作文8+8+4=20The wonderful year of 2017 is drawing to an end. I remember that I set an annual goal to keep fit at the beginning of 2017, since staying healthy is crucial to ensuring my study, thus better prepare myself for Gaokao.To achieve my goal of keeping fit, here are some efforts I’ve taken throughout the year. On the very first day of 2017, I downloaded a fitness app called Keep. Following the fitness instructions the app offered, I exercised every other night before I go to bed. Also, I did some research into the daily nutrition I need in order to stay healthy both physically and mentally, after which I devised a moderate dieting plan. Apart from the above, I’ve invited family members and friends to join me so that we can encourage each other and exchange fitness experience.So far, the record shown on my fitness app shows that I’ve done well this year, reaching a record high of 200 training times in total. Although at times I felt like giving up because of too much study pressure and limited time, I’m glad I have stuck to my plan. It seems to me that anyt hing is possible if I throw in all of myenergy and passion, and most of all, perseverance. Some rules apply to study. So I hope I will keep such passion and strength to do my best in the coming 2018. （237 words）点评：1．文本结构段落清晰，符合作文题目要求。

I hope the teachers like it!In the end, I was so relieved when the exam was over. I was exhausted but also proud of myself for getting through it. I hope I did well, but even if I didn't, I know I can always try again. That's the most important thing, right? Thanks for listening to my story, guys!篇5Hey guys! Today I want to tell you about the first mock exam in high school in Shanghai. It was super tough, but I managed to survive!First of all, the exam was like a million hours long. We had to answer so many questions and write so many essays. I thought my hand was going to fall off from all the writing!The reading section was the hardest for me. There were so many long passages and tricky questions. I had to read andre-read them like a gazillion times just to understand what they were talking about. But I did my best and answered as best as I could.The listening section was no joke either. The speakers talked so fast, and I could barely keep up. I had to really focus and concentrate to catch all the details. But I think I did okay overall.The writing section was a real challenge. We had to write essays on different topics, and my brain was like, "Uh-oh, what do I write about?!" But I tried to organize my thoughts and write as clearly as possible.In the end, I was exhausted but proud of myself for finishing the exam. It was a real test of my English skills, but I think I did pretty well. Can't wait to see my results!篇6Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about the English exam in high school. It's like super important and everyone is like so nervous about it. Like, oh my gosh, we have to study so much for it!So, in the exam, we have to write an essay, answer questions, and do all these grammar exercises. It's like, so much work! And we have to do all of this in like, a limited time. It's like a race against time, you know?But like, the good thing is that we get to show off all the English skills we've been learning. We get to use all those fancy words and grammar rules we've been studying. It's like our chance to shine!And you know what? Even if we make mistakes, it's totally okay. Like, everyone makes mistakes, right? The important thing is that we try our best and don't give up. We can do it, guys!So yeah, the English exam might be super scary, but we can totally ace it if we just believe in ourselves and keep practicing. Let's do this, team! Go English exam! Woohoo!。

2.上海松江2013年高考一模作文“莫言的演讲“27.阅读莫言在今年诺贝尔颁奖典礼上讲述的故事，你有怎样的认识和思考，人选角度，写一篇不少于800字的文章，题目自拟，文体不限，不得透露个人相关信息。

上世纪六十年代，我上小学三年级的时候，学校里组织我们去参观一个苦难展览，我们在老师的引导下放声大哭，为了能让老师看到我的表现，我舍不得擦去脸上的泪水，我看到有几位同学悄悄地将唾沫抹到脸上冒充泪水，我还看到一片真哭假哭的同学之间，有一位同学脸上没有一滴泪，嘴巴里没有一点声音，也没有用手掩面，他睁着大眼睛看着我们，眼睛里流露出惊讶或者是困惑的神情。

事后，我向老师报告了这位同学的行为，为此，学校给了这位同学一个警告处分。

多年之后，当我因自己的告密向老师忏悔时，老师说，那天来找他说这件事的，有十几个同学，这位同学十几年前就已去世。

每当想起他，我就深感歉疚。

这件事让我悟到一个道理，那就是：当众人都哭时，应当允许有的人不哭，当哭成为一种表演时，更应该允许有的人不哭。

立意分析：终于出现了一个“莫言”！做人、做事都应该有自己的真性情，不要随大流地掩饰自己的真情，也不要因为自己“没有合群”而感到任何的不妥。

坚持自我，不随波逐流，才是真我的表现。

不要把感情的流露作为一种手段，丧失了自己的本真。

引申下去就是，当大多数人都持同一个意见时，允许有人提出不同的意见，因为大多数人的意见并不一定完全正确，某一个人的特殊，也不一定完全没有道理。

杨浦区【题目】近来，一些民国时期的小学生作文受到热捧。

有一篇《公平的太阳》写道：?天上的太阳，一天到晚放出了温暖的光，照耀着一切的人物，不论有钱的，没钱的，都受到它的恩惠。

?有人评价其具有深刻的人文素养。

还有《蟋蟀》一文：?玩者利用蟋蟀之手以为博，而蟋蟀不自知，胜则欣欣而喜，败者泱泱而恨。

?评论道：作文流露出一派天真自然的童趣，遣词造句古朴智慧温雅。

也有专家认为一味地厚古薄今是没有意义的。

现在的小学生不在民国的语境里生活，而现在的小学生信息量更大，知识面更广，没有必要向民国小学生学习作文法。

根据上述材料，自选一个角度，写一篇文章，题目自拟。

要求：①不少于800字；②不要写成诗歌；③不要透露个人相关信息。

【参考分析】可以赞同推崇民国小学生文风的观点，也可以赞同专家“没必要厚古薄今”的观点。

赞同前者的，着力点应放在“作文真诚”的基点上。

民国时期的孩子思想单纯，语言质朴，想什么就写什么。

而现代物质生活丰富，孩子们的作文，也许少了他们这个年龄段应该有的童趣，追求写作手法，华丽的辞藻，冗长的排比句等等，变得形式，缺少真性情。

赞同后者的，着力点可以引申到“活在当下”的基点上。

往日不可追，现代的快节奏生活，必然造就作文新的形式。

没有必要一味去追求昨日的质朴，因为如今的种种，也是孩子们人生的一种经历。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Secret of SuccessThe secret of success is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __41__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is __42__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck. Ma is obviously smart because she’s a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is __43__ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom __44__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __45__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted(分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __46__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.Other students __47__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special __48__. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan. This is what other students can learn from Ma.In school, as in life, __49__ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or itcan be very __50__. Some stories are told as if they were true. Real people who live in a __51__ world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not __52__. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be impossible for us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only __53__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than __54__. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of thinking. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our __55__, which is real, and our imagination, which is real in a different way, to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy(幻想) use the imagination and the ―magic‖ of reading and writing to make us think. When we read something realistic, we have to __56__ that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we __57__ that we are real and they are not. It sounds __58__, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and __59__ the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by __60__ that what we read is like real life. __61__, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our __62__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will __63__ next. Knowing how we feel when we read can help us become better __64__, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.50. A. different B. possible C. important D. necessary51. A. common B. usual C. normal D. certain52. A. instructive B. realistic C. reasonable D. moral53. A. planned B. thinkable C. designed D. imagined54. A. magic B. lessons C. dreams D. experience55. A. grammar B. knowledge C. skill D. words56. A. recall B. ensure C. imagine D. understand57. A. hope B. find C. learn D. know58. A. terrible B. dangerous C. serious D. strange59. A. think about B. talk of C. learn from D. forget about60. A. guessing B. telling C. pretending D. promising61. A. In a way B. As usual C. On the contrary D. By the way62. A. society B. minds C. life D. world63. A. appear B. argue C. happen D. develop64. A. writers B. fans C. professionals D. readersSection 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)A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows thatalthough love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people.Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (忧郁症). Thestudy shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girlsis ―loss of self‖. According to the study, even though boys would say ―lose themselves in aromantic relationship‖, this ―loss of self‖ is much more likely to lead to depression when ithappens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression -- eating or mood changes -- and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.65. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two - edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.66. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we alsohave rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or gover nment insurance, they must often ―go on welfare‖ if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile (衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent (疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply ―dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds‖ for the dying in which ―care‖ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel (员工).72. The author believes that the increased size of the human population results from _______.A. an increase in birthratesB. the industrial developmentC. a decrease in death ratesD. childhood diseases73. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationC. old people were given the task of imparting (传授) the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of (免除) the hardships of life74. The p hrase ―this need‖ in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. prolonging the dying ol d people’s livesB. reducing the problems caused by the retired peopleC. making profits through caring for the sick or weak peopleD. taking care of the sick or weak people75. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is true?A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C. Many nursing homes are sponsored by religious and nonprofit groups.D. Older people have wealth or private insurance if they have a serious illness.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious (有威望的) newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.79. ________In the late 1980s about 4.1 million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.80. ________Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumer goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population; and modern, high-technology industries also have become numerous since World War II. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Plants and animals usually do not live apart, as in many ways they are important to each other. Most green plants can make their own food. The food of other living things, even the food of meat-eating animals, comes directly or indirectly from green plants. For example, some people eat mutton (羊肉); mutton comes from a goat; the goats eat grass. These steps, or links, make up what is called a food chain. Without green plants, all other living things would in time die of starvation.Plants help animals in other ways too. They furnish homes and shelter for many animals. Many birds, as you know, build their nests in trees. Deer and many other animals use bushes for shelter. And even man depends much upon plants for his shelter. Animals repay some of this debt by helping plants. You may be aware that many insects and some birds do important work for plants by pollinating (授粉) them. You must have also learned how animals often help plants by spreading seeds.What is waste material for one of these kinds of life is often valuable substance for the other. For example, animals give off carbon dioxide gas when they breathe. When plants make food, they absorb this gas from the air, using the carbon and releasing some of the oxygen back into the air. The oxygen that is released, then, is again supplied to animals. Thus the cycle continues, animals helping plants, and plants helping animals.All plants and animals have their enemies. Insects eat plants; birds eat insects; other animals kill birds. But here too, animals such as birds and bats help the plants by destroying harmful insects. Many plants and animals are helpful tosome living things but are harmful to others. Then there are other rules in nature that act as checks and balances. For example, if there are more animals in a certain area than there is food to support them, some of the animals must mi-grate or starve. In either case, the number of animals will be reduced until the balance between animals and the available food supply is restored.These helps and hindrances (障碍) are constantly going on in the plant and animal world to achieve a balance. As long as one living thing is dependent on another, whenever the scales are tipped (使倾斜), nature takes steps to balance the scales again.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What does the author mean by saying ―Plants and animals usually do not live apart‖?82. Besides providing food and shelter for animals, plants can also ______ to help animals to live.83. ―Checks and balances‖ refers to ______ in the world of animals and plants.84. What will be the final result if some animals migrate or starve for lack of food?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

2013上海高考英语一模各区C篇阅读汇总

2013上海高考一模各区C篇阅读汇总宝山区：Discoveries in science and technology are thought by ―untaught minds‖ to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold ( 霉) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal—and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities.―Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there‘s no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.‖ Wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: ―How come nobody thought of that before?‖The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends. Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer. 72. What does the author probably mean by ―untaught mind‖ in the first paragraph?A. An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident.B. A person who has had no education.C. A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity.D. A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation.73. According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?A. The way they present their findings.B. The way they deal with problems.C. The intelligence they possess.D. The variety of ideas they have.74. The phrase ―march to a different drummer‖ (the last line of the passage) suggeststhat highly creative individuals are _____.A. unwilling to follow common ways of doing thingsB. diligent in pursuing their goalsC. concerned about the advance of societyD. devoted to the progress of science75. The most suitable title for this passage might be _____.A. The Relation Between Creation and DiligenceB. To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human CreativityC. What Are So Special about Creative IndividualsD. Discoveries and Innovation崇明县：Thirty years ago, public health officials in the United States reported on the first cases of what came to be known as AIDS.But today an estimated sixteen and a half million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Millions more live with adults who are sick from AIDS.Lucie Cluver from Oxford University in England has studied children of AIDS(AIDS orphaned children and children living with sick adults) in South Africa. She says children can be deeply affected by their experiences. And one of the biggest impacts we see is mental health, their psychological health. So, for example, we see that AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress disorder than children who have a live parent or children whose parents have died of other causes. Lucie Cluver says children have to live with the sense of shame connected to AIDS. Many are abused(欺负) at school or excluded from the community.Children living with sick adults are more likely to live in poverty and face physical and emotional abuse. Also, Lucie Cluver says the children often become the caregivers. They‘re missing school to go and get medication. They‘re often taking them to the toilet, cleaning their wounds or washing their bedclothes. So these kids find it very stressful and upsetting. They‘re very worried about the health and feel responsible for the health of the sick person. Close contact with sick adults can sometimes spread tuberculosis(肺结核) or other diseases. And, as Lucie Cluver said, even when the children are in school, paying attention can be difficult. It‘s constantly on their minds and really making it difficult for them to do well at school. She calls for testing more children for tuberculosis. She also calls for giving more parents the drugs needed to keep them healthy longer with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.There are programs to help children, but there is ―far more to be done.‖ Interventions(干预治疗) and support groups are ―urgently needed‖ for those orphaned by AIDS or living with sick adults. But the evidence for which interventions are effective ―is still thin‖.72. The topic of the passage is __________.A. children of AIDS doing badly at schoolB. more and more children suffering from AIDSC. children of AIDS facing mental problemsD. an increasing number of people dying of AIDS73. According to Lucie Cluver, AIDS orphaned children have very much higher levels of depression mainly because they __________.A. have a sense of shame connected to AIDSB. cannot focus their attention on study at schoolC. are more likely to be affected with tuberculosisD. often have to miss school to look after their sick parents74. We can infer from the last paragraph that __________.A. enough has been done for children of AIDSB. interventions prove very effective for children of AIDSC. nothing can be done to help children except interventionsD. interventions may be useful for helping children of AIDS75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The first case of AIDS occurred 30 years ago.B. Children whose parents are infected with AIDS often help with housework.C. Children whose parents have died of causes other than AIDS don‘t have stress disorder.D. Children don‘t have psychological problems when their parents are still alive with HIV.虹口区：Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine (饥荒), infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation (责任) to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often ―go on welfare‖ if they have a serious i llness.When older people become senile(衰老的) or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent(疗养的) hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply ―dumping (倒垃圾的) grounds‖ for the dying in which ―care‖ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel (员工). 72. The author believes that the increased size of the human population results from ___.A. an increase in birthratesB. the industrial developmentC. a decrease in death ratesD. childhood diseases73. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people whocould not workB. the survival of infants was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationC. old people were given the task of imparting(传授) the cultural wisdom of thetribe to new generationsD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of (免除) thehardships of life74. The phrase ―this need‖ in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. prolonging the dying old people‘s livesB. reducing the problems caused by the retired peopleC. making profits through caring for the sick or weak peopleD. taking care of the sick or weak people75. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people inthe United States is TRUE?A. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.B. Minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C. Many nursing homes are sponsored by religious and nonprofit groups.D. Older people have wealth or private insurance if they have a serious illness.黄浦区：Throughout the centuries, various writers have contributed greatly to the literary treasure trove of books lining the shelves of today‘s libraries. In addition to writing interesting material, many famous writers, such as Edgar Allan Poe, were larger-than-life characters with personal histories that are as interesting to read as the stories they wrote. Poe‘s rocky life included being driven off from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831 and an ongoing battle with alcohol. Yet, despite heavy gambling debts, poor health, and terrible unemployment, Poe managed to produce a body of popular works, including ―The Raven‖ and ―The Murders in the Rue Morgue.‖Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, once lived among the man-eaters in the Marquesas Islands and wrote unusual tales inspired by his years of service in the U.S. Navy. Dublin-born Oscar Wilde was noted for his charismatic personality, his outrageous lifestyle, and creating witty catchphrases such as, ―Nothing succeeds like excess.‖ D.H. Lawrence wrote shameful novels that were often cut, and Anne Rice led a double life writing bestselling horrible novels under her real name and using ―A.N. Roquelaure‖ for the lowbrow unhealthy novels she penned on the side.Nonconformist(不墨守成规的)author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau once fled to the woods and generated enough interesting material to fill his noted book Walden. Thoreau wrote on the issue of passive resistance protest in his essay ―Civil Disobedience‖ and served time in jail for refusing tax payments in protest of the United States government‘s policy towards slavery. American short story writer O. Henry‘s colorful life was ruined by tragic events, such as being accused and sentenced for stealing money from an Austin, Texas bank. Despite his success selling his short stories, O. Henry struggled financially and was nearly bankrupt when he died.As diverse as these famous authors‘ backgrounds were, they all led unconventional lives while writing great literary works that will endure throughout the ages. The next time you read an interesting book, consider learning more about the author by reading his or her biography so you can learn about the unique life experiences that shaped his or her writing. 72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Edgar Allan Poe?A. He had his own interesting personal history as other famous writers.B. He graduated from United States Military Academy at West Point in 1831.C. He once had heavy gambling debts and fell down with illness.D. He managed to produce popular works no matter how rocky his life was.73. What can you infer from Para.2?A. D.H. Lawrence and Anne Rice once wrote similar type of novels.B. Anne Rice used a pen name because her novels were quite popular.C. Anne Rice used different names when she wrote bestselling novels.D. Henry David Thoreau enriched his books by living in the forests.74. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Henry David Thoreau was passionately opposed to horrible events.B. Anne Rice always used a pen name to conceal her true identity.C. Herman Melville stayed with man-eaters during his naval service.D. O Henry‘s life was colorful though he had lots of difficulties.75. The passage mainly tells us that ______.A. many famous writers lived nontraditional livesB. most famous writers were usually troublemakersC. writers had to lead interesting lives to generate materialsD. the biographies of famous writers are always inspirational嘉定区：As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behavior, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts(血细胞计数), but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely ―not ill‖ and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body‘s special needs. Both types have simply been called ―well.‖ In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms ―well‖ and ―wellness‖ only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body‘s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be ―well,‖ in this new sens e, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. ―Wellness‖ may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life. 72. Today medical care is placing more stress on ______.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients‘ body functionsC. removing people‘s bad living habitsD. ensuring people‘s psychological well-being73. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure74. Traditionally, a pers on is considered ―well‖ if he ______.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease75. According to the author, the true meaning of ―wellness‖ is for people ______.A. to best satisfy their body‘s special needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure静安区：At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don‘t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌的) behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It‘s not taboo to talk about fat; it‘s taboo to be fat. The ―in‖ look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious society like the U.S., thin is ―in‖, fat is ―out‖.It‘s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and ―in shape‖. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America‘s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people‘s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising every day. 72. From the passage we can infer taboo is _____.A. a strong desire to do something strange or terribleB. a crime committed on impulse committedC. behavior considered unacceptable i n society‘s eyesD. an unfavorable impression left on other people73. Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude being fat _____.A. will always remain a tabooB. is not considered a taboo by most peopleC. has long been a tabooD. may no longer be a taboo some day74. In the U.S., thin is ―in‖, fat is ―out‖, this means _____.A. thin is ―inside‖, fat is ―outside‖B. thin is ―devoted‖, fat is ―lazy‖C. thin is ―youthful‖, fat is ―spiritless‖D. thin is ―fashionable‖, fat is ―unfashionable‖75. The main reason the passage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is _____.A. their changed life-styleB. their eagerness to stay thin and youthfulC. their appreciation of the importance of exerciseD. the encouragement they have received from their companies浦东新区：Seligman is leading the research on what might be called Happiness Revolution inpsychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis（精神病）, and neurosis（精神衰弱）. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‗positive psychology‘ he found only 800 out of 70,000. ‗Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,‘ said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‗My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.‘In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. ‗While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we‘ve become richer, we‘re in an epidemic of depression,‘ Seligman said. ‗Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.‘ Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology‘s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people‘s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery（抽奖）, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‗Positive Psychology,‘ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person —though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods — even simple ones like ice cream, and massages —are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. 72.The distinctive feature of Seligman‘s wo rk lies in ______.A. evaluating the psychological state of peopleB. making a study of people who suffer from mental illnessC. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful peopleD. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‗positive psychology‘73.What does Seligman mean by saying ‗take a plus 2 person and boost him to aplus 6‘?A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.C. It‘s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6.D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.74.According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?A. Promotion leads to true happiness.B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness.C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.75.The passage mainly talks about ______.A. strengths and happinessB. ways to cultivate happinessC. development of psychologyD. effect of positive psychology普陀区：NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers AutomatedQuotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world‘s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the world‘s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership. 72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.It lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.73.

Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companies长宁区：The candidate longing for election to the highest office in the United States must be native-born American citizen who is at least 35 years old and who has lived in the United States for at least 14 years. The election course is complicated, and the road to the Oval Office is long.Potential candidates must present papers stating their intention to seek their party‘s recommendation; delegates then choose from among those running some months later at the national conferences. Before that, however, each state holds a primary election that determines how the state‘s voters want the party‘s delegates to vote. Methods of choosing the delegates vary from state to state. At the conferences, there are speeches and often heated discussions. It may take several rounds of voting before delegates can agree on a candidate. On the final day of the meeting, the presidential candidate announces his or her choice for vice president.Election Day, by law, is the Tuesday that follows the first Monday in November. On this day, registered voters may cast their votes for president, vice president, and candidates for other federal (联邦), state, and local offices. The popular vote, however, does not determine who will be president. The president is chosen by a vote of the Electoral College, a group of 538 citizens from the 50 states and the District of Columbia who are chosen to cast votes for the president and vice president.The rules for choosing electors, as with the delegates, vary. Each state also decides whether its electoral votes must reflect the popular vote. The number of electors in each state is determined by the number of representatives and senators(议员) that a state sends to Congress and, therefore, may change every 10 years, depending on the results of the United States census (人口普查). The winner must get at least 270 of the electoral votes when the Electoral College meets in December of the election year. The election results are not official, however, until the following January, when Congress meets in a joint conference to count the electoral votes.At the end of the road to the Oval Office is the swearing-in ceremony, at which the new or reelected president takes the oath (誓言) of office on January 20. 72.Which of the following is not a requirement for candidates for the presidency of theUSA?A. Minimum age of thirty-five years old.B. Previous experience in an elective office.C. Native of the United States of America.D. Bottom residency of fourteen years in the States.73.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Election results are not authorized until the first month of the coming year.B. Ways to select the delegates of each state are very much the same in the USA.C. The successful presidential candidate wins a maximum number of electoral votes.D. A party‘s potential candidate is chosen months before its national conference isheld.74.We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. the candidate who wins the popular vote will be the winner of the electionB. the electors don‘t have the right to vote against their registered voters‘ willC. the presidents of the United States are theoretically picked by the citizens directlyD. the change of a state‘s population barely has effect on the presidential election75.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Various Ways of Presidential Election in the USAB. The Qualifications for Being the President of the USAC. The Rules for Choosing Presidential Candidates in the USAD. The Process of the Election for the President of the USA。

）Sample 1Away flows time. There are so many unforgettable things in my school life which are worth mentioning. The most wonderful one, which I’ll remember for good is takin g part in the English speech contest.I used to be a shy boy who lacked confidence. At the beginning of the senior three year my best friend encouraged me to participate in the speech contest. Afraid of delivering an address on the stage, I declined. I, in the end, agreed as he insisted. He helped me practice my speech skills as well as gestures and standing position. My skills were improved, modestly but steadily.Then came the day of the contest. Nervous as I was, I walked onto the stage, smile on face.With so many people seated in the hall, I felt anxious and my speech was not fluent at first. When I saw my friend listening attentively, I remembered the nights we spent together practicing speech.I was inspired and the speech flowed on successfully. The audience applauded with appreciation at the end of the speech while I happily found I was no longer the shy boy. It was the support from my friend that enabled me to gain confidence.While life in senior three is occupied, wonderful things take place every day, the precious friendliness has left such a deep impression on my mind that I will never forget it. (231 words) (9+9+4=23)Sample 2The thing that impressed most in grade 12 took place on a Sunday morning. That was when I took part in an English contest, in the final stage.The contest was so difficult that I thought the only thing I could do was to wish myself good luck. The listening comprehension was unlike what I’d prepared for, so I just tried my best. But when I moved to the reading p art, the situation got better. What I’d thought to be greek turned out to be just the combination of words I knew the meaning of. I felt a little bit happier. As to the writing, I had wanted to give it up and let my creation fly, but I surprisingly found that I had a lot to say about the topics. I even used the stories of a scientist I’d read about to support my idea! Then it was an oral exam. Although it was a contest, I still told the teachers exact what I had in mind. I didn’t have anything fancy to say, but the thoughts were genuine.The result came and I won the third prize! At first I thought it was sheer luck, but then I realized that what I had learned helped a lot. I didn’t mean to prepare for it, but what I had done brought me what I deserved. Eve n though I’m no faced with the college entrance exam, I still know that what really matters is the process of learning. Do your job and the result won’t fail you!(257 words)(8+8+4=20)Sample 3Do you have the fear of acting on the stage? Well, I do, at least before I was asked to perform at the school’s Arts Festival.As the Arts Festival drew near, the teachers asked me to read an English poem, which made my heart jump. This would be a perfect chance to show my English talents, but not in front of the whole school! I was a shy boy that even freaked out when speaking in front of my class. As I strongly opposed to this kind offer, the teacher told me, “You’ll never know how things go unless you give it a try.”Encouraged as I was, I repeated the poem in front of the mirror for countless times, being more confident every time. The day finally came and I was on the stage, sharing the beauty of English with the whole school. I managed to read the poem in an idiomatic accent without a single mistake and I wasn’t really that nervous as I thought I would be. I was filled with pride as the sound of applause rose in every corner of the auditorium.Just as my teacher said, taking the first step toward the unknown is the greatest achievement, I will pump myself up for all the coming challenges in life and I will never forget my first step on the stage. (227 words)(6+8+3=17)Sample 4The life of Senior 3 is like a chocolate having lots of tastes. My most impressive taste is the experiences of participating in the Physics Olympics.The days that I spent preparing for the contest are full of depression and happiness. I enjoyed the moment when I worked out a difficult problem. My pals and I often argued about a ambiguous problem for a long time. However, the taste was terrible sometimes. I read the reference books till midnight and did a lot of exercises. I believed that my dream would come true if I worked hard enough.To my disappointment, I failed to get the award. But I think the tears and experiences will become my most valuable wealth in the future. (123 words)（7+7+2=16）（虹口）请认真观察下面的漫画，然后简要描述漫画内容，并根据你对该漫画的理解，谈谈自己的思考和看法。
