Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Are you the kind of person who hated school? Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can't stop (21)_______(learn)? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master's and a doctorate! If you're also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath - a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek (22) _______ ‘phil' meaning ‘a lover of’and ‘math' meaning ‘learning’.Humans are all philomaths to an extent - our brain (23) _______ (programme) to be curious. (24) _______ (make) sense of the world, we are eager to learn and understand. But it is also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that (25) _______ (refer) to the adolescent characteristics of some animals, including humans, being maintained into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, (26) _______ function is to make our brain stay flexible and give us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are genetically close to (27) _______ can't do this and only learn during their adolescence.But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can't stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this? Educational experts have suggested that (28) _______ a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. If that's the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information. As a result, (29) _______ people are negatively exposed to at school may lead to them avoiding learning opportunities in later life.So, don't let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult.

Who knows what you could achieve?Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.It happens just about every time I go to a restaurant with my daughter. I open the menu and scan the options. Then I glance at the children's menu. Oftentimes, the menu is pretty 31________, with the same pasta and tomato sauce. But the items on the children's menu are usually less expensive, and I'll think to myself: Wow, good deal.If I think again for a moment, though, the deal isn't really a deal. After all, I estimated the cost of the pasta 32________ on the adult menu, not on the actual cost of making some bow-tie noodles and serving them with a red sauce.My faulty 33________ is the product of anchoring, a cognitive bias (认知偏差) that can weaken our critical thinking. According to researchers, anchoring is when people rely on 34________ but easily accessible facts to make judgments. Our minds give too much weight to initial impressions or numbers that influence our 35________ thoughts. In my case, the prices on the adult menu 36________ or anchored my judgment about the value of the items on the children's menu.Studies show that anchoring effects 37________ no matter how weak the connection between the anchor and the actual decision. One study found that “estimates of an athlete's performance were influenced by the number on his jersey (运动衫)." In other words, people thought that an athlete with a higher jersey number was better than an athlete with a lower number, all else being equal.Anchoring affects all kinds of decisions, even those made by experts who should know better. In particular, a recent study shows that anchoring is far more common in the financial world than 38______ believed, with substantial anchoring effects influencing performance in the stock market. A study showed that investors valued firms more highly if the firms had higher stock prices. So, if two companies have the same financial 39______ except that Company X has fewer shares at a higher price than Company Y, then Company X's shares will sell better over the long run than Company Y's. Why? Because the stock price - the anchor - enhances the company's perceived value.The phenomenon of anchoring shows that while we think of ourselves as rational and logical beings, unrelated details can have a(n) 40______ influence on our reasoning. The bestsolution is to improve critical thinking skills. Otherwise, you might be a victim of anchoring, dragged down by your bias, whether you notice it or not.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Online ArtsFancy an evening at the theatre but can't face sitting there for hours? Theatre companies will happily offer live performances online. Want to see a band but 41_______ by the high ticket prices? No worries. Many mainstream bands allow their concerts to be 42_______ free of charge. Now galleries are getting 43_______ too, enabling sofa-bound art lovers to wander around the world's greatest art institutions, all in high resolution (分辨率) and without fear of getting sore feet. But is it really the same as seeing paintings in the flesh? I decided to find out.I head to the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, one of my favourite galleries. I enjoy myself racing past sculptures and staring at various portraits in a manner that I would disapprove of were I actually there. There's a lot to be said for 44_______ art this way. Admission is free and there aren't any queues. 45_______ you won't have to tolerate the noise of fellow visitors as they loudly broadcast their knowledge of the oil paintings on exhibit.But it's no 46_______ for the real thing. Billions of pixels (像素) 47_______ to accurately transmit the scale or colour or atmosphere of a painting or convey the sense of wonder you feel when standing in front of it.

My enduring thought, while I am walking around the Museo Reina Sofia 49_______, is how much nicer it would be if I were literally in Madrid.50_______ in almost all its forms is meant to be a shared experience, whether you are sitting in an opera house or wandering around a gallery, It is also a ritual, one that is about so much more than the cultural event itself. Often the pleasure is as much in the 51_______ as the execution (执行). Remove the preparation part where you imagine how it will be, and you 52_______ a vital part of the experience.Lying on the sofa, with computers, phones and remote controls readily 53_______, is something I routinely do. But when it comes to art appreciation, even a lazy man like me can recognize the basic 54_______ to leave the house. Ultimately, it's a bit like watching holidays on TV. Yes, you can cut out the sweat and the aching legs. By staying at home, you can stare at the locals without embarrassment and 55_______ the finest views.

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)During recent years legends have grown up among people who live near the park, legends of life among the treetops. One story was of a young, handsome man who had beenspotted from time to time among the branches. This rumor about a modern Tarzan (人猿泰山) turned out to be true. The young man had been living in the treetops for eight years until discovered by the city authorities.It is a touching tale. Bob Redman, brought up by his mother in a tiny Manhattan apartment, had always been addicted to trees. When he was 14, he went into the park and built himself a tree house. It was the first of 13 houses, each one more elaborate than the last. 'I like to be in trees,' Redman explained to a reporter from the New York Times. I like to be up, away from everything. I enjoy staying alone.'Redman went to great pains to hide his tree houses, building them in neglected corners of the park and camouflaging them with branches and green paint. Friends used to come to visit him, sometimes as many as 12 people at a time, bringing sandwiches and radios and books and torches.The park authorities quickly became aware of his activities. However, the houses were often not detected for long periods of time. Some lasted as long as a whole year before they were found and destroyed by officials, with a mournful Bob Redman watching from a distance. His magnificent final house went unnoticed for four months before Bob was awoken one morning with the words: ‘Come down! The party's over!'Rather than being thrown into jail, Redman was offered a job. He is now a professional gardener and tree climber for the Central Park. However, he has had to promise not to build any more tree houses. He says he cannot believe that a job so perfect for him could possibly exist.In our busy, competitive world, I suppose it is comforting to know that a man like Bob Redman exists.56. Which of the following statements about Bob Redman is TRUE?A. He built 14 tree houses altogether.B. He rented his final house to some friends.C. He was raised amid trees in the countryside.D. He gave an interview to the New York Times.57. The bold word “camouflaging” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning toA. decoratingB. hidingC. equippingD. integrating58. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 suggests thatA. parties should not be held overnightB. parties are not allowed in the Central ParkC. no more tree houses should exist in the Central ParkD. the owner of the tree house should get down to work59. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Tarzan of the Central ParkB. Locked Up or Breaking FreeC. A Special Job Hunter in New YorkD. Tree Houses - the Ultimate Habitat60. Which word best fts the question mark“?” in the passage?A. INVITATIONB. APPROACHC. CONTRACTD. SUBMISSION61. According to the passage, the hotel to be built will be mainly intended for _______.A. holiday makersB. conference attendeesC. architectural firmsD. construction workers62. HHCC's final decision will be based on the best design of _______.A. the basementB. the first floorC. the ground floorD. the whole building(C)Trust me - I am expedition doctorEver since I was a young child, I've had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined I'd be able to satisfy this passion at regular intervals because of my chosen career.My work as an expedition (探险队) doctor has taken me all over the world. However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me forbinding up a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I'd say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after endurance, flexibility, problem-solving and communication.This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to be prepared to improvise (即兴做). For example, I've learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I've even had to resort to cutting branches off a small tree to make a stick to support a broken arm.That isn't to say that you can't train to be an expedition doctor; on the contrary, there are some excellent courses available. Not only do they teach medical techniques, but also practical skills such as carrying out risk assessments, crossing rivers safely and using satellite phones. The first course I did included a session on expedition dentistry, though I must admit I still don't like the idea of pulling out someone's tooth!I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare, but they have become much more mainstream now that we've all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people surviving in jungles.I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of disposable income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high ethical standards and benefit the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of rich visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to endure.I realize that this kind of life isn't for everyone, but I'd recommend that all doctors try it at least once, if only to make them appreciate the comforts of their usual working environment!63. The author feels that he has been _________.A. obliged to choose his careerB. lucky with his jobC. obsessed with his adventureD. inspired by his patients64. According to the passage, what can be learned about medical skills for an expedition doctor?A. They are less important than practical skills.B. They are strictly required as the most important.C. They are adequately attained in medical schools.D. They are an underlying part of practical skills.65. Why do expedition doctors sometimes have to use unusual techniques?A. They keep their equipment in a backpack.B. Things can happen that they don't expect.C. They don't have the resources of a hospital.D. They are required by the patients on the trip.66. The author works for ethical companies because _________.A. they organize expeditions in the remote areas he enjoys visitingB. they appreciate the comforts of the unusual working environmentsC. he wants to make sure that his clients are safe at all times during the expeditionD. he feels uncomfortable about the difference between rich tourists and poor local peopleSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Eating meat is not a crime against the planet - if it's done rightI have huge admiration for George Monbiot, a well-known columnist. His work hashighlighted the urgent need to reduce our CO2 emissions and switch to greener energy. He has also shown intensive farming's role in the dramatic levels of species decline and biodiversity loss. Much of what he writes is in line with my stand. 67________ It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are not only polluting our land and waterways, but are heating up our planet and contributing to a crisis in human health. We need to change the way we eat and produce food, and fast.68________ But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world's most damaging farm products." He criticizes “chefs and foodies" like me for focusing on regenerative grazing - farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function. His alternative vision includes a revolution in creating food in labs from microbes and water.Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming. 69________ Methods that regenerative farmers propose have shown how non-intensive livestock, when managed well, can increase topsoil more than previously thought, which can then build up biomass (carbon) and keep precious rainwater. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, small-scale farmers currently produce about a third of our food.70________ These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players. In our race to look for better systems of food production. We cannot afford to ignore the risks.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. The problem of electronic wasteWe have gradually come to realize that in two ways in particular, modern hi-tech can be bad for the planet. The first is its energy use; the worldwide scale of information technology is so enormous that electronics now produce fully two percent of global carbon emissions, which is about the same as the highly controversial emissions of aeroplanes. The other is thehardware, when it comes to the end of its natural life. This, increasingly, is pretty short. We have hardly noticed this important stream of waste, so much so that a Greenpeace report on the untraced and unreported e-waste two years ago referred to it as 'the hidden flow'. We need to be aware of it.The latest United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report estimates that worldwide, electronic waste is mounting by about 40 million tons a year. So what can we do about it?The European Union has recognized the problem by adopting a key principle: producer responsibility. In other words, making it the duty of manufacturers of electronic goods to ensure their safe disposal at the end of their lives. In practice, an EU regulation now means that electronics dealers must either take back the equipment they sold you, or help to finance a network of drop-off points, such as public recycling sites. Its main feature is quite ambitious: it aims to deal with ‘everything with a plug'.The new UN report suggests that all countries could do something about the problem with a change in design. Groups such as Greenpeace have led the way in putting pressure on major manufacturing companies to find substitutes for the toxic chemicals inside their products. Encouragingly, they have had some success in forcing them to develop non-poisonous alternatives to these. This may be the real way forward.V.

The team looks at several factors. One is the Living Planet Index (LPI), 2 examines how wildlife populations have changed over time. A total of 5, 268 species across the world have been tracked, including birds, fish, insects, and mammals.The change in wildlife varies around the world. South America and the Caribbean are the most affected. In these areas, the average wildlife populations have dropped by 94% over 50 years. Central Asia and Europe have 3 (small) decline, with an 18% drop. The WWF says the changes are caused by human activity. One of the biggest threats 4 (face) wildlife is the number of acres of forest that are being chopped down 5 that theland can be used for farming instead. To find the best way to protect animals worldwide, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is studying how easy or hard 6 will be to help different species. It has so far found that the populations of several animals, including the pink pigeon and the Sumatran rhino, 7 be boosted.While some news from the Living Planet Report is worrisome, there is good news, too. Up to now the numbers of many species 8 (rise) around the world because of people’s efforts to protect them. In India, the number of tigers has nearly doubled since 2009. And in 2020,there were more than 50 sightings of the critically 9 (endanger) Antarctic blue whale.In the US, conservation efforts in recent decades have helped to save several species, including the bald eagle, which 10 (remove) from the threatened species list in 2007.二、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can beThere are plenty of complaints about how social media—texting in particular—may be harming children’s social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging(IM’ing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for introverts, who are 11 to tell their thoughts to others.British researchers analyzed 150 conversations exchanged by 231 teens. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IM’ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported a 20%reduction in their distress—not enough to completely 12 it but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.“Our findings suggest that IM’ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may 13 contribute to their well-being,” the authors write, noting provide emotional relief and that prior research has shown that people 14 to talk to strangers either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate with each other face-to-face, implying a strengthening of their 15 .Why would digital communication beat human contact? The regions are complex, but may have something to do with the fact that users can control their expressions of sadness and other emotions they may be having via IM without having to 16 emotional elements such as tears, which some may consider as embarrassing or sources of 17 . Studies also show that the anonymity (匿名) of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safely. Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can “vent” emotions and provide a sense of relief—and doing so, knowing that your words are reaching a(n) 18 friend may be even more therapeutic. Researchers also found that introverted participantsreported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did. In fact, introverts care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues, but even the most socially skilled ones sometimes long for a free 19 from having to socialize or having to talk on the phone. This is what the Internet offers: the chance to connect—but in 20 does and from behind a screen.三、完形填空a northern Chinese courtyard, or “yuan zi”a skywell is smaller and less exposed to thewhich were designed to 23 different generations of relatives.Although a skywell's size and design vary from region to region, it is always rectangular and located in the Core of a house, either 24 by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the 25 breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air 26 by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light, improve ventilation (通风) and 27 rainwater. In Huizhou, a skywell is small but tall, and the rooms around it can 28 sunlight on hot days, enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool. 29 hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell, which“works just like a 30 ”As a(n) 31 space between indoor life and the outdoor environment, a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside. But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air, a process known as evaporative cooling which is 32 in Huizhou skywells. In the past, Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth. Skywells therefore have channels around them to 33 rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years, in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern 34 . Over the past two decades, however, due to a 35 of traditional Chinese architecture, skywell buildings have been making a comeback.21.A.Parallel with B.Different from C.Close to D.Symbolic of 22.A.commonly B.rarely C.apparently D.currently 23.A.bind B.gather C.house D.honor 24.A.enclosed B.separated C.accompanied D.replaced 25.A.calming B.refreshing C.incoming D.upcoming 26.A.pollution B.pressure C.current D.circulation 27.A.promise B.harvest C.stop D.process 28.A.block out B.bathe in C.allow for D.let out 29.A.Nevertheless B.Meanwhile C.Similarly D.Rather 30.A.well B.column C.chimney D.ceiling 31.A.ideal B.leisure C.alternative D.transition 32.A.well-reflected B.well-shaded C.well-developed D.well-organized 33.A.collect B.purify C.drain D.evaporate 34.A.techniques B.facilities C.styles D.inventions 35.A.reunion B.reminder C.renewal D.rearrangement四、阅读理解As mountains go,1, 642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t particularly imposing. But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming less cautious among its steep, slippery cliffs, resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.Henry Grant, a week before starting his freshman year, respected Squaw Peak’s record. As such, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August 2019. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the view;one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was peeking over the lip of the cliff with her husband.Suddenly he heard something frightening: “Paula!Paula!” a man yelled frantically. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. Several hikers immediately started looking for her. Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. “My young dumb brain was like, I can do it,” he says.After 15 minutes of scrambling over rocks, Grant spotted a figure in pink. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Miraculously, she was alive.“Paula!” Grant shouted. “Paula. Is that you?”The woman barely responded. She was clearly hurt and delirious. Grant called 911 and waited, but she kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that in her disorderly state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death, Grant crawled on all fours up a tight, narrow path, gaining friction by digging into the dirt with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.Securing himself against a tree, Grant tried to keep her mind off the pain by intervening with questions; “Where are you from?

We were unskilled, impulsive and uneducated misfits, mostly black, who had done dumb, impulsive things — failures, rejects from the larger society. Now a generation has passed since I’ve been here, and everything is much the same as I found it. The vast majority of us are handed over to suffer and die here so politicians can sell the illusion that permanently putting people to prison will make society safe.Getting tough has always been a “silver bullet”, a quick FIX for the crime and violence that society fears. Each year in Louisiana — where excess is a way of life — law-makers have tried to outdo each other in legislating harsher penalties. The only thing to do with criminals, they say, is get tougher. In the process, the state boasts one of the highest look-up rates in the country, and imposes the most severe penalties in the nation.If getting tough resulted in public safety, Louisiana citizens would be the safest in the nation. They’re not. Louisiana has the highest murder rate among states. Prison, like the police and the courts, has a minimal impact on crime because it is a response after the fact, it doesn’t work. The idea of punishing the few to discourage the many is fake because potential criminals either think they’re not going to get caught or they’re so psychologically distressed that they don’t care. about the consequences of their actions. The threatened punishment, regardless of its severity, is never a factor in the equation.Prison has a role in public safety, but it is not a cure-all. The only effective way to contain crime is for society to work to prevent the criminal act in the first place. Our youngsters must be taught to respect humanity of others and to handle dispute without violence. It is essential to educate and equip them with the skills to pursue their life ambitions in a meaningful way. As a community, we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality. These things are not quick, and they are not easy, but they are effective. Politicians think that’s too hard a sell. They want something they can point to at re-election time. So the drumbeat goes on for more police, more prisons, more of the same failed policies.Ever see a dog chase its own tail?43.Which of the following situations is not regarded as a “silver bullet”?A.Employing a roundabout way to help students correct their mistakes.B.Setting up refuges to shelter the homeless war victims.C.Training farmers with farming techniques to help them out of poverty.D.Adopting effective policies to save economy from worsening.44.According to the passage, law makers’ failure to make proper legislation is due to the factA.they are proud and boastful of high lock-up rates B.they fail to address the root of the problemC.they don’t treat people of different races alike D.they give priority to precaution over punishmentA.turn over a new leaf.B.get a kick out of itC.an eye for an eye.D.prevention is better than cure 46.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prisons — A Tool for Election.B.Why Prisons Don’t WorkC.An Appeal from a Murderer.D.Why Society Is a Safer PlaceWhich Languages Take the Longest to LearnThe difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its inherent complexity. The main reason a language is hard is that it is different from your own. What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English-speaker?The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. 47 Chinese stands out for its difficulty. It is commonly said that a learner must memorize around 2, 000 characters to be able to read a newspaper. But even this estimate is criticized. Someone with 2, 000 characters will still have to look up unfamiliar ones in every few lines of text.A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language. To an English-speaker, the novelties include the clicks of many African languages. 48 Mandarin and Cantonese have tones, meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling one are different words.The vocabulary obviously matters too. Most European languages share an ancestor (called proto-Indo European) and so their words, too,often come in related pairs.If you know water in Spanish is agua, it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English aquatic. Languages unrelated to the European ones (Arabic from the Semitic family, or Chinese from the Sino-Tibetan one) will not only lack the “genetic” overlap in vocabulary. 49 .Finally,there is grammar.Many people associate tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change according to a word's use in a sentence. Many languages even feature anending on verbs indicating how the speaker knows the information to be true.50 If you want to learn a language just for fun,start with Swedish. If you want to accumulate an impressive number, stay in Europe.But if you really want to impress, mastering Mandarin is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.A.They are culturally distant, and so have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.B.This more than anything else accounts for the difficulty of the language.C.Indeed, none of the hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet used by most European languages.D.But foreign writing systems need not be difficult.E.The overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system, sounds, words and grammar.F.But just as hard is the problem of languages that differ from your own.五、书面表达51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Does Reading Improve HealthWhen thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves, some things that we should do are harder than others. Reading is one of the easier ones. What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping. In one study, reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a 30-minute period, as well as blood pressure and heart rate. Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.Readers may live longer than non-readers. One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time. In another study of individuals aged 64 and over, those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not. At the 14-year mark of the study, and regardless of educational level, those who read more enjoyed greater protection. This effect is maintained into readers’ 80’s.Bibliotherapy, or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychologicalhealth, is a well-known aid to mental health treatment. Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books, focused readings, first-hand accounts of others’ experiences, and even relevant fiction. This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression, suicidal thinking, anxiety, stress and etc.The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity. Cheap and no-cost books are everywhere. Public libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources. If you aren’t a natural reader, you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ _________________________六、翻译52.虽然青少年爱和父母顶嘴,但是他们内心是尊重父母的。

The Flash(闪电侠), however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched TheFlash,1(show)the image of this Superhero, who was only a supporting character in Arrow.Like Spider man, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls afterhe2(bite)by a spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself3(equip)with super speed. Naturally, Allen slips on a colourful suit and becomes the Flash, a hero4extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother's death and his father's unjust imprisonment.In line with super hero series standards, The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects. There's nothing terribly innovative here, but5we do get is a unique superhero with a more unusual personality.6Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero7powers include optimism. He's got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary8(fight)crime.A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that9turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller's wonderful acting. Now Miller's back to act in TheFlash.10is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite, although this time around he's an antagonist(反派角色).二、选词填空2、【来源】 2020年上海浦东新区高三一模第31~40题Criticism of the Fast FashionIn the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn't affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater was1over the years from fashion shows to departments stones and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl probably found her clothes.This top—down concept of the fashion business couldn't be more out of date or in conflict with the mad world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline's three—year accusation of "fast fashion". In the last decade or so,2in technology have allowed mass—market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and predict demand more3. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted stock, more frequent release, and more profit. These labels encourage style—conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable—meant to last only a wash or two, although they don't advertise that—and to4their wardrobe(衣橱)every few weeks. By offering on—trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have controlled fashion cycles, shaking an industry long5to a seasonal pace.The6of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. ForH&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskit in all its 2, 300—plus stores around the world, it must rely on low—wage overseas labor, order in volumes that7natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes—and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can't be imitated.Though several fast—fashion companies have made efforts to8their impact on labor and the environment—including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line—Cline believes lasting change can only be made by customers.

This is because the networked computer has started a secret war between downloading and uploading—between passive consumption and active4—whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.All animals download, but only a few upload anything besides faces and their own bodies. Humans are5in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous(过剩的)material goods(paintings, sculpture and architecture)and superfluous experiences(music, literature, religion and philosophy).6it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to be human. Downloading and consuming culture required great skills, but7to move beyond downloading is to rob oneself of a defining ingredient of humanity.Despite the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people arestill8download mode, brought about by television watching.

She liberated architectural geometry(几何), giving it a whole new expressive identity. Geometry became, in her hands, a vehicle for unprecedented and eye-popping new spaces. Her buildings elevated uncertainty to an art, conveyed in the odd ways.Her work implying mobility, speed, freedom and uncertainty spoke to a world view widely shared by a younger generation. "I am not European, I don't do conventional work and I am a woman, " Strikingly Ms. Hadid never allowed herself on her work to be categorized by her background or her gender. And she was one of a kind, a path breaker. In 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture's novel.Zaha Hadid was born in Baghdad on October 31, 1950. Then in 1972, she arrived at the architectural association in London, a center for experimental design. Her teachers included Elia Zenghelis and ram Koolhaas. "They aroused my ambition, " she would recall, "and taught me to trust even my strangest instincts." By the 1980s she had established her own practice in London. And she began to draw attention with an unrealized plan in 1982—1983 for the Peak Club.Her partner, Patrick Schumacher, played an instrumental and collaborative role in her career. Mr. Schumacher coined the term parametric(参数的)design to include the computer-based approach that helped the firm's most weird concepts become reality. Ms. Hadid called what resulted in an organic language of architecture, based on these new tools, which allow us to combine highly complex forms into a fluid(流线的)and complete whole.Her sources were nature, history or whatever she sought useful. When her Rosenthal Center, a relatively modest project, opened in 2003, Herbert Muschamp, the architecture critic declared it "the most important American building to be completed since the end of the cold war"."She was bigger than life, a force of nature, " as Amale Andraos, the dean of Columbia University's architecture school, put it, "she was a pioneer."She was. For women, for what cities can desire to build and for the art of architecture.(1) What featured the structured designed by aha Hadid?A. Free architectural geometry.B. Conventional design.C. Odd imagination.D. Colourful patterns.(2) According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Zaha Hadid taught herself to trust instincts.B. The plan for the Peak Club hasn't been carried out.C. The architect's gender influenced her work dramatically.D. aha Hadid was the first architect to win the Pritzker Prize.(3) How did the computer-based approach make a difference to aha Hadid's work?A. It contributes to realizing the strange ideas.B. It simplifies the complex structure as a whole.C. It provided new tools to translate the language.D. It serves as an instrument to interpret the concepts.(4) The purpose of the passage is to.A. present Zaha Hadid's life experienceB. praise Zaha Hadid' inspiration and diligenceC. compare Zaha Hadid's works in different timesD. show Zaha Hadid's great contributions to architecture5、【来源】 2020年上海浦东新区高三一模(B篇)第60~62题Behind the scents of a Writing ConferenceWhen you attend a writing conference, you see a TAL#NBSP facade that took months or longer to make up. Plenty is going on behind the scents. Let's take a look behind the curtain.The day starts long before attendees walk through the door. Registration is set up, signs posted and tables arranged. Logistics(后勤)all fall on the conference organizers. For example, the annual conference I direct in San Francisco (see the poster above) is a simple one-day conference that takes more than eight months to put together and around 15 staff and volunteers to manage. Larger multi-day conferences have even more going on behind the scenes.Overseeing it all is the conference director, a conductor who typically works with committee directors to make sure everything runs smoothly. Over the course of the conference, staff ers make sure everything stays on track. It's not unusual for staff to walk miles in a day and go without meals.Conference staff and volunteers are always behind the curtains making sure your experience is perfect. The next time you attend a well-run writing conference, take a moment to thank staff and volunteers for their devotion. They deserve all the praise they can get because without them, there would be no conference.(1) The underlined word facade refers to.A. the effort behind the scenesB. the scenes visible to the publicC. the literary masterpiece on displayD. the material distributed at the meeting(2) What's the latest time to start to arrange for the one-day conference in San Francisco?A.

Groups such as The Story of Stuff and Buy Nothing New Day are growing as a movement that increasingly blames all our ills on our desire to shop.We clearly have a growing resource problem. The produces we make, buy, and use are often linked to the destruction of our waterways, biodiversity, climate and the land on which millions of people live. But to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blaming individuals for what is a systematic problem.While we complain about environmental destruction over Christmas, environmentalists often forget what the holiday season actually means for many people. For most, Christmas isn't an add-on to an alreadyheavy shopping year. In fact, it is likely the only time of year many have the opportunity to spend on friends and family, or even just to buy the necessities needed for modern life.This is particularly, true for Boxing Day, often the target of the strongest derision(嘲弄) by anti-consumerists. While we may laugh at the queues in front of the shops, for many, those sales provide the one chance to buy items they've needed all year. As Leigh Phillips argues, "this is one of the few times of the year that people can even hope to afford such 'luxuries', the Christmas presents their kids are asking for, or just an appliance that works. "Indeed, the richest 7% of people are responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes particularly harmful when you take into account that those shopping on Boxing Day are only a small partof our consumption "problem" anyway. Why are environmentalists attacking these individuals, while ignoring such people as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has his own£1.5bn yacht with a missile defence systemAnyway, anti-consumerism has become a movement of wealthy people talking down to the working class about their life choices, while ignoring the real cause of our environmental problems. It is no wonder one is changing their behaviours—or that environmental destruction continues without any reduction in intensity.(1) It is indicated in the 1st paragraph that during the holiday season, manyconsumers.A. ignore resource problemsB. are fascinated with presentsC. are encouraged to spend lessD. show great interest in the movement.(2) It can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the environmentalistmovement.A. has targeted the wrong personsB. has achieved its intended purposesC. has taken environment-friendly measuresD. has benefited both consumers and producers(3) The example of Roman Abramovich is used to show environmentalists'.A. madness about life choicesB. discontent with rich lifestyleC. ignorance about the real causeD. disrespect for holiday shoppers(4) It can be concluded from the text that telling people not to shop at Christmasis.A. anything less than a responsibilityB. nothing more than a biasC. indicative of environmental awarenessD. unacceptable to ordinary people五、六选四7、【来源】 2020年上海浦东新区高三一模第67~70题The Ban on Trading Ivory(象牙)is Unfair but NecessaryAs in some countries elephant population have recovered, there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be. Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make. But it is not strong enough. The ban must stay.Understandable, countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this isunfair.1And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local people who are in competition with wildlife for resource, and sometimes in conflict with it—elephants can be destructive. People and governments, so the argument goes, need to have an economic stake(利害关系) in the elephants' survival. The ivory trade would give them one.To understand why these reasonable-sounding proposals should be rejected, consider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised, when Botswana, Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japan.2 A survey conducted in 2014-15 estimated that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18 countries since 2007.3"In better-resourced national parks, drones are used to make it easier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from, and thus whether they are legal. As prices of the technologies fall and countries get richer, both technologies are likely to spread.The objection to trade in products of endangered species is not moral. When the world is confident that it will boost elephant numbers rather than wipe them out, the ivory trade should beencouraged.4And until it does, the best hope for the elephant—and even more endangered species, such as rhinos(犀牛)lies not in easing the ban on trading their products, but in enforcing it better.A. Regrettably, that point has not yet come.B. Elephant numbers started falling.C. The existence of even a small legal market increased the opportunities for illegal trade.D. They point out that they have devoted huge resource to the elephant.E. In the long run technology can help make trade coexist with conservation.F. One animal, as so often in the past, will attract much of the attention: the African elephant.六、短文缩写8、【来源】 2020年上海浦东新区高三一模第71题2019~2020学年广东深圳福田区深圳市红岭中学高二下学期期中第77题25分Directions: Read the following passage.

And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing?Not necessarily. For a start, many small shops can' compete on price with supers to res such as Tesco, And they don't have as many products either. As a result, 36% of the UK's small shops shut down between 1990 and 1996 while the number of supermarkets increased from 457 to 1, 102. Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub. There are now over 55, 000 supermarkets in the UK, but less than 55, 000 pubs. A decade ago there were more than 61, 000. These days, pubs are closing at the rate of 39 a week!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they'be got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn't entirely true either!Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don't store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increased the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which ian't good for the environment either.So, what can be done to help the "little guys" Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets. And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the year 2000, one super i market gave the government £12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London.

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 read.(A)Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi﹣born British architect whose tall structures left a mark on skylines and imaginations around the world and in the process reshaped architecture for the modern age.She was not an average designer. She liberated architectural geometry(几何), giving it a whole new expressive identity. Geometry became, in her hands, a vehicle for unprecedented and eye﹣popping new spaces. Her buildings elevated uncertainty to anart, conveyed in the odd ways.Her work implying mobility, speed, freedom and uncertainty spoke to a worldview widely shared by a younger generation. "I am not European, I don’t do conventional work and I am a woman, ’’ Strikingly Ms. Hadid never allowed herself on her work to be categorized by her background or her gender. And she was one of a kind, a path breaker. In 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture’s Nobel.Zaha Hadid was born in Baghdad on October 31, 1950. Then in 1972, she arrived at the architectural association in London, a center for experimental design. Her teachers included Elia Zenghelis and Rem Koolhaas.“They aroused my ambition,” she would recall, “and taught me to trust even my strangest instincts.” B y the 1980s she had established her own practice in London. And she began to draw attention with an unrealized plan in 1982﹣1983 for the Peak Club.Her partner, Patrick Schumacher, played an instrumental and collaborative role in her career. Mr. Schumacher coined the term parametric(参数的) design to include the computer﹣based approach that helped the firm’s most weird concepts become reality. Ms. Hadid called what resulted in an organic language of architecture, based on these new tools, which allow us to combine highly complex forms into a fluid(流线的)and complete whole.Her sources were nature, history or whatever she sought useful. When her Rosenthal Center, a relatively modest project, opened in 2003, Herbert Muschamp, the architecture crit ic declared it “the most important American building to be completed since the end of the cold war”.“She was bigger than life, a force of nature, ” as Amale Andraos, the dean of Columbia University’s architecture school, put it, “she was a pioneer.”She was. For women, for what cities can desire to build and for the art of architecture.(1)What features the structures designed by Zaha Hadid?________A.Free architectural geometry.B.Conventional design.C.Odd imagination.D.Colorful patterns..(2)According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, which of the following statement is TRUE?________A.Zaha Hadid taught herself to trust instincts.B.The plan for the Peak Club hasn’t been carried out.C.The architect’s gender influenced her work dramatically.D.Zaha Hadid was the first architect to win the Pritzker Prize..(3)How did the computer﹣based approach make a difference to Zaha Hadid’s work?________A.It contributes to realizing the strange ideas.B.It simplifies the complex structure as a whole.C.It provides new tools to translate the language.D.It serves as an instrument to interpret the concepts..(4)The purpose of the passage is to________.A.present Zaha Hadid’s life experienceB.praise Zaha Hadid’s inspiration and diligencepare Zaha Hadi d’s works in different timesD.show Zaha Hadid’s great contributions to architecture.【答案】ABAD【考点】故事类阅读记叙文阅读【解析】文章介绍著名的建筑师扎哈•哈迪德夫人的建筑风格和对世界建筑的贡献.【解答】(1)A.细节理解题.根据文章第二段的句子 She liberated architectural geometry(几何), giving it a whole new expressive identity.可知,扎哈哈迪德设计的结构特点是自由建筑几何.故选A.(2)B.细节理解题.根据文章第四段的句子And she began to draw attention with an unrealized plan in 1982﹣1983 for the Peak Club.可知,山顶俱乐部的计划还没有执行.故选B.(3)A.细节理解题.根据文章第五段的句子 Mr. Schumacher coined the term parametric(参数的) design to include the computer﹣based approach that helped the firm’s most weird concepts become reality.可知,基于计算机的方法使扎哈•哈迪德的工作与众不同,有助于实现这些奇怪的想法.故选A.(4)D.写作意图题.根据文章第一段的句子 Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi﹣born British architect whose tall structures left a mark on skylines and imaginations around the world and in the process reshaped architecture for the modern age.扎哈•哈迪德夫人,出生于伊拉克的英国建筑师,其高大的建筑在世界各地的天际线和想象中留下了印记,并在这一过程中重塑了现代建筑.可知,展示扎哈•哈迪德对建筑的伟大贡献.故选D.2020 SAN FRANCISCOWRITERS CONFERENCE17th Celebration of Craft, Commerce & CommunityFebruary 13﹣16, 2020 at the Hyatt Regency San FranciscoSpeakers: *Walter Mosley*Jonathan Maberry*Brooke WarnerPlus authors, editors, publishers & literary agents from New York, L.A. & S.F.

Groups such as The Story of Stuff and Buy Nothing New Day are growing as a movement that increasingly blames all our ills on our desire to shop.We clearly have a growing resource problem. The produces we make, buy, and use are often linked to the destruction of our waterways, biodiversity, climate and the land on which millions of people live. But to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blaming individuals for what is a systematic problem.While we complain about environmental destruction over Christmas, environmentalists often forget what the holiday season actually means for many people. For most, Christmas isn’t an add﹣on to an already heavy shopping year. In fact, it is likely the only time ofyear many have the opportunity to spend on friends and family, or even just to buy the necessities needed for modern life.This is particularly, true for Boxing Day, often the target of the strongest derision(嘲弄)by anti﹣consumerists. While we may laugh at the queues in front of the shops, for many, those sales provide the one chance to buy items they’ve needed all year. As Leigh Phillips argues, “this is one of the few times of the year that people can even hope to afford such ‘luxuries’, the Christmas presents their kids are asking for, or just an appliance that works.”Indeed, the richest 7% of people are responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes particularly harmful when you take into account that those shopping on Boxing Day are only a small part of our consumption “problem” anyway. Why are environmentalists attacking these individuals, while ignoring such people as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has his own£1.5bn yacht with a missile defence system?Anyway, anti﹣consumerism has become a movement of wealthy people talking down to the working class about their life choices, while ignoring the real cause of our environmental problems. It is no wonder one is changing their behaviours﹣or that environmental destruction continues without any reduction in intensity.(1)It is indicated in the 1st paragraph that during the holiday season, many consumers________.A.ignore resource problemsB.are fascinated with presentsC.are encouraged to spend lessD.show great interest in the movement..(2)It can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the environmentalistmovement________.A.has targeted the wrong personsB.has achieved its intended purposesC.has taken environment﹣friendly measuresD.has benefited both consumers and producers.(3)The example of Roman Abramovich is used to show environmentalists’________.A.madness about life choicesB.discontent with rich lifestyleC.ignorance about the real causeD.disrespect for holiday shoppers.(4)It can be concluded from the text that telling people not to shop at Christmasis________.A.anything less than a responsibilityB. nothing more than a biasC. indicative of environmental awarenessD. unacceptable to ordinary people.【答案】CACB【考点】社会文化类阅读议论文阅读【解析】本文介绍环保主义者鼓励人们在假期的时候少花钱购物,作者认为实际上对环境造成影响的是那些富有的人,不是普通人.【解答】(1)C.细节理解题.根据文章第一段的句子 people are using the holiday season to call on us all to shop less.可知,第一段指出,在假日期间,鼓励许多消费者减少开支.故选C.(2)A.细节理解题.根据文章第三段的句子But to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blaming individuals for what is a systematic problem.可知,从第2和第3段可以推断,环境保护主义运动针对的是错误的人.故选A.(3)C.细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段的句子 Why are environmentalists attackingthese individuals, while ignoring such people as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich可知,阿布拉莫维奇的例子被用来表明环保主义者对真正的原因的无知.故选C.(4)B.细节理解题.根据文章第四段的句子While we complain about environmental destruction over Christmas, environmentalists often forget what the holiday season actually means for many people.可知,从课文中可以得出结论,告诉人们圣诞节不要购物不过是一种偏见.故选B.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Regrettably, that point has not yet come.B.Elephant numbers started falling.C.The existence of even a small legal market increases the opportunities for illegal trade.D.They point out that they have devoted huge resources to the elephant.E.In the long run technology can help make trade coexist with conservation.F.One animal, as so often in the past, will attract much of the attention: the African elephant.The Ban on Trading Ivory(象牙) is Unfair but NecessaryAs in some countries elephant population have recovered, there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be. Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make. But it is not strong enough. The ban must stay.Understandably, countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this is unfair.(1)________And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local people who are in competition with wildlife for resources, and sometimes in conflict with it﹣elephants can be destructive. People and governments, so the argument goes, need to have an economic stake(利害关系)in the elephants’ survival. The ivory trade would give them one.To understand why these reasonable﹣sounding proposals should be rejected, consider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised, when Botswana, Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japan.(2)________A survey conducted in 2014﹣15 estimated that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18 countries since 2007.(3)________ In better﹣resourced national parks, drones are used to make it easier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from, and thus whether they are legal. As prices of the technologies fall and countries get richer, both technologies are likely to spread.The objection to trade in products of endangered species is not moral.

They want to use robots to carry heavy things over difficult land.But providing enough power for those kinds of robots has been a problem. Now, that has changed. Engineers at MIT have designed a running robot that runs on batteries. Scientists say their robots will soon be able to run like cheetahs, the fastest land animals on Earth.One difficulty in designing these types of robots continues to be providing power. These machines are still quite heavy and they need a lot of power to run. But the cheetah-like robot designed by engineers at MIT is light enough m run on batteries.The robot weighs just 30 kilograms. The robot needs only about 700 watts of power to run. This robot can actually jump 40cm high and it can land very safely and then it can run. The robots limbs and other parts were made in a three-dimensional or 3D printer. A strong, light-weight material called Kevlar is used to make the robot's part stronger.But the development of MITs robot is not without its own set of problems. The robot's limbs must support heavy force, and sometimes they break.Scientists say the new technologies used on this robot may be used in the making of limbs for disabled persons and other machines. Some of those machines may help save humans from performing difficult and dangerous jobs.1.What is the challenge in designing the four-leg robots?A.carrying heavy things B.Running fast. C.Being light enough. D.Providing enough power. 2.What can the new technologies on MIT's robot be used for?A.For making a 3D printer.

It was built in 1902 and was a one-room school. There was only one teacher, but the students were from different grades. Algoe School sometimes had as many as 18 students, but once there were only two. We all had jobs to do every day. The teacher rang the school bell every morning. There was a flagpole (旗杆) in front of our school. We raised the flag every morning. At noon break, one student cleaned the blackboard. Some students swept the floor. And two students had the job of walking to a nearby farm to bring back a big bag of drinking water.In winter, our school was heated by a wood-burning stove (炉子).

Privileged(有特权的)young European graduates ____31____ a trend where they traveled across the continent in search of art and cultural experiences upon their graduation. This practice, which grew to be ____32____ popular, became known as the Grand Tour. Specialty guidebooks, tour guides, and other aspects of the tourist industry were developed during this time to meet the needs of wealthy 20-something male and female travelers as they explored the European continent.These young, classically - educated Tourists were rich enough to fund multiple years abroad for themselves and they took full advantage of this. They carried letters of ____33____ and introduction with them as they departed from southern England to communicate with and learn from people they met in other countries. Some Tourists ____34____ to continue their education and broaden their horizons while abroad, some were just after fun and ____35____ travels, but most desired a combination of both.A typical journey through Europe was long and ____36____ with many stops along the way. London was commonly used as a starting point and the Tour was usually kicked off with a difficult trip across the English Channel. Crossing the wide channel was and is not easy. 17th– and - 18th - century Tourists risked sea-sickness, illness, and even shipwreck on this first ____37____ of travel.Grand Tourists were ____38____ interested in visiting cities that were considered centers of culture at the time, so Paris, Rome, and Venice were not to be missed. The average Grand Tourist traveled from city to city, usually spending weeks in smaller cities and months in the three____39____ ones.The vast majority of Tourists took part in similar activities during their exploration with art at the center of it all. Once a Tourist arrived at a destination, he would look for ____40____ and settle in for anywhere from weeks to months, even years. Though certainly not an overly trying experience for most, the Grand Tour presented a unique set of challenges for travelers to overcome.上海市浦东新区2021届高三一模英语试卷A. benefitsB. attractC. engagementD. trackE. measuringF. committedG. promotingH. rewardsI. motivatedJ. seekingK. satisfactionWork is necessary to earn an income, and if you get good job (31) _________, it’s a bonus! But what can make it more worthwhile are the extra perks (工资外的补贴) that your employer offers you as a reward for your loyalty and commitment.Employee (32) _________ are commonplace these days. Traditionally, these have included a good pension and extra days off work. But when a job used to be for life, there wasn’t much incentive to try and keep staff. Now when millennials are (33) _________ a position, they want to know the benefits they’ll get on top of their pay.But these perks come at a cost to an employer, and now technology is being used to discover if and when they offer value for money. The idea aims to enable a company to tailor what it can offer to (34) _________ and retain the right staff.As an example, at merchant bank, Close Brothers, AI has been used to develop chatbots that can help employees to find information on subjects ranging from mental health to saving for retirement at any time. And Microsoft has developed software to help businesses (35)_________ their employee’s well-being needs. Anna Rasmussen, founder of Open Blend, told the BBC “It shows companies what their employees need to stay (36) _________ and reach their full potential in real-time.” Insurance company Vitality offer wearable technology to track employees’ movements. Staff can earn ‘(37) _________’ by having t heir activity tracked.

Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater was ____31____ over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl probably found her clothes.This top-down concept of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or in conflict with the mad world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year accusation of “fast fashion”. In the last decade or so, ____32____ in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and predict demand more ____33____. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted stock, more frequent release, and more profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable—meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that—and to ____34____ their wardrobe (衣橱) every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have controlled fashion cycles, shaking an industry long ____35____ to a seasonal pace.The ____36____ of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that ____37____ natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes — and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can’t be imitated.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to ___38___ their impact on labor and the environment —including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line —Cline believes lasting change can only be made by customers. She exhibits the idealism ___39___ to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity (虚荣心) is a constant; people will only start shopping more ___40___ when they can’t afford not to.答案:上海市浦东新区2022届高三一模英语试卷【答案】31. I 32. H33. D 34. C35. B 36. G37. F 38. E39. J 40.

2017年浦东新区高三英语一模语法填空
II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20%)
Section A
? ? ? ?I can still remember the afternoon when we climbed the mountain as if it were yesterday.
? ? ? ?It was a sunny day. Eager to spend some time outside, I went up the mountain with my uncle. The mountain was hard (21) ________(climb) and had tough rocks and streams on it. In the end, (22) ________ (exhaust) and hot, I couldn’t go any further. So we went back down the mountain in the end.?
? ? ? ?On the way back down, my uncle asked me a question, (23) _____ left me speechless for a second: “What’s your dream, young lady?”
? ? ? ?“I have no idea,” I answered (24) _____thinking it for a while. Then he smiled and told me about his story. He didn’t perform well at school when he was a student. Although nobody thought he could succeed, he knew clearly (25) ______his dream was-----to be a businessman. “I knew
I wasn’t gifted when it came to studying, so I tried to buy snacks from
a market and sell them after class,” he told me. After he left sc hool, he started selling different items to find out which one was most attractive to customers. Of course, he often had no money in his pocket, but (26) ______ tough life was, he never gave up.
? ? ? ?“There is no doubt that a person who puts in a great d eal of effort to reach his or her goal will have good luck at some point. The meaning of life is to chase your dream,” he said gently.
? ? ? ?That night I (27) ______ hardly fall asleep. I lay in bed tossing and turning, asking myself, “What’s my motivation?”?
? ? ? ?I once wanted to be a top student, but the hard work needed meant (28) _____ (put) everything into following my passion. If I find myself lacking willpower, what should I do? Leaving home early the next morning, I climbed the mountain again by (29) _____. It made me think: If we don’t experience the climb, how can we get to see the scenery on the top of the mountain? In the end, I reached the top and (30) ______ (fascinate) by the warm breeze and sunshine. Nothing could be more pleasant than that.答案及解析:
climb; sth be+adj+to do;
22.(being) exhausted;非谓语前后主谓一致,执行者为“I”;
;定语从句“which”指代“question”,注意判断先行词的方法;
;注意后面的时间状语“for a while”,说明作者是考虑了一会儿之后回答的;
;根据空格前“knew”判断该空为宾语从句,再看从句部分缺少“his dream was?xxx”,破折号后“to be a businessman”是对该空,即“what”的具体解释说明;
;句型“however+adj+主+谓”译为“无论主语怎么样”;
;根据“hardly?fall”动词原形确定该空为情态动词,再根据时态确定过去式;
;“mean doing sth”意味着做某事;
;该句空格前为介词,故填具有和名词相似属性的代词或反身代词,译为“我自己又去爬了一次山”;
fascinated;根据“and”前的动词“reached”确定时态,根据“be fascinated by”“被……吸引”确定该空。
