Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.2019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 11 . You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 12 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 13 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 14 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 15 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics andtogether.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 16 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 17 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society te lling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 18 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 19 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 20 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A22019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 21 periods.The rise of “city breaks” --48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 22 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 23 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 24 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that.

If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 30 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 31 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of €40 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 32 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 33 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 34 to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps32019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)towards more 35 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.21.

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

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

So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction.

He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedonly once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change. For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for th e good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases markedA,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,i s one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear r eactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第 II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate)2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

transition.For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain___31___.You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking,farming or accounting.Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s___32___.The new world requires a different sort of person.Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them,identify the problems in any situation,figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation,figure out ways to solve the problem,organize fluid teams,lead collective action and then___33___adapt as situations change.For example,Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood.He created an app,called Haus,that allows people to___34___with theirneighbors.The app has a panic button that___35___everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening.It allows neighbors to organize,chat,share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities,Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls“cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.”Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in___36___circumstances.“For the good of all”is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can___37___problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set.But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills.They hear society telling them:“We don’t need you.We don’t need your kids,either.”Of course,those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central___38___of our time,Drayton says,is to make everyone a changemaker.In an earlier era,he says,society realized it needed universal___39___.Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal.They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of___40___shift can be promoted.It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before,and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for___41___periods.The rise of“city breaks”48-hour bursts of foreign cultures,easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers,but not their___42___spread.The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris,Barcelona and Venice for decades,and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them.“Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,”says Font.“For___43___,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing,says Font,who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek___44___outside of the city centre on its official website.“That takes some balls, really to do that.But only so many people will look at the website,and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can[to ease congestion.]”But it also___45___a better way,it is called“detourism”:sustainable travel tips an ___46___itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice,off the paths beaten by the28million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of___47___for prospective visitors------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons,for example,or outside of the city center------can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks,or___48___short breaks away in the first place.Longer stays ___49___the pressure,says Font.If you go to Paris for two days,you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower.“If you go for two weeks,you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower14times.”Similarly,repeat visitors have a better sense of the_____50_____,“We should be asking how we get tourists to_____51_____,not how to get them to come for the first time.If they’re coming for the fifth time,it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers.Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You’re thinking,‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of640more per day than French tourist as a(n)_____52_____ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint._____53_____tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times,buy local produce,and_____54_____to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more_____55_____tourism,and more

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 pas sage you have just read.(A)I believe that,as a doctor,I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one.Yes I know there are other people who can do this.I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it,but I believe that I should do it.So several times a day,while working in our emergency department,I leave my patient’s bedside,get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up,before continuing on my day.This action goes along with what I believe to be the three rules of emergency medicine(and perhaps medicine in general).I repeat these often to the residents and medical students I supervise in our busy urban emergency department.I tell them:(1)we make people feel better;(2)we try to make sure nothing really bad is happening to them right now;and(3),we try to tell them what is causing their symptoms.I say that we can almost always achieve the first two rules but not always the third.No news is usually good news from an ER doctor.If I find a reason for,say,your abdominal pain it is rarely a good thing.Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket.To me itis the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort,both physical and emotional.It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of.This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer.The short story is that I broke my femur(大腿骨),the large bone in my thigh,and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so.The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein.He would ask about my pain and my mental state,but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited.I felt that he cared about me and,more importantly,understood what I was going through.He connected with me,and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is,in the end,a check and balance for me.I have the power to order hundreds of tests and treatments.I strive to always be right(or at least never wrong).And on not so rare occasions,I help save a life.But in the end,if I have not made that connection with my patient,if I have not shown them I understand their needs,then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.56.According to the author,what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?A.It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.B.It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.C.It helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.D.It helps communicate his care towards his patients.57.The author mentioned his own experience as a patient,which of the following is NOT his intention?A.Showing his gratitude for the surgeonB.Demonstrating his action of giving blanketsC.Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patientsD.Claiming the importance of patients’trust toward doctors58.What does the last sentence(paragraph7)imply?A.The author felt regretful for not preparing blankets for their patients.B.The only principle of a good physician is to understand patients’needs.C.It important for doctors to convey the cause of their illness clearly.D.A good physician should show his care to his patients.59.The passage is mainly about_______.A.emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patientsB.emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patientsC.emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heartD.emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship(B)MT.LEBANON ICE CENTER*900CEDAR BOULEVARD*PITTSBURGH,PA15228(412)WHO:Skaters of all ages and abilities.Must be3years of age and potty trained.Any Preschool&Kindergarten age child who has never taken lessons at the Mr.Lebanon Ice Center needs to be evaluated.The On-line registration feature does not apply to evaluation registration.Evaluation dates and times are listed below.EVALUATIONS:Evaluations help to determine both readiness and class placement.Upon completion of the evaluation,it is recommended that you register for classes with an associate located in the ice center booth.A variety of days and times for the evaluations are also listed online and at the Ice Center.Evaluation registration may be done in person or by phone at412-561-4363.DAY EVALUATION DATES TIME EVALUATION FEE Saturday June2,201812:00p.m.$5.00 Sunday June3,201812:00p.m.$500 Monday June4,201810:00a.m.and1:00p.m.$500 Wednesday June6,201810:00a.m.and1:00p.m.$5.00 Thursday June7,20l810:00a.m.and1:00p.m.$5.00 Additional evaluation dates may be offered for sessionⅡ.REFUND POLICY:Refund requests must be made a minimum of7days prior to event.See for details.REGISTRATION:In person—Stop by the Mt.Lebanon Recreation Center,ground floor,Monday through Saturday 9:00a.m.9:00p.m.or Sunday9:00a.m.5:30p.m.By Phone—Call the Ice Center at(412)561-4363to schedule your skating evaluation appointment Make checks payable to:Mt.Lebanon,PA visa,Master Card,&Debit Cards accepted QLESTIONS:Please call the Mt.Lebanon Ice Center staff at(412)561-4363 LeboALERT—A FREE notification service(phone,text,e-mail).In the event of an emergency and to provide you with updates about cancellations and recreation department programs and events.

But the biggest obstacle today is economic.In western Europe,just three plants are under construction:in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset;at Flamanville in France;and at Olkiluoto in Finland.All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point.All are running years late and over budget.In the US,the first two nuclear projects under way for the past30years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK,which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets.It is seen as a proving ground,by many in the industry,of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However,the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost.The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix.Small reactors,it believes,have the potential to generate much-needed power from the2030s.A nuclear sector deal,unveiled last month,promised up to£56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world.The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies,helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors(AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB.Small in scale,AMRs rose more safety risksC.So far,most AMRs have not been put into use yeternments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs64.In paragraph5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to________.A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successSection 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.In other words,the machinery or other equipment covered with the paint was easily damaged.B.Therefore,the new paint can be applied in many aspects.C.Cars get dirty,even under the best of conditions.D.Water droplets do not leave a mark on the painted surface.E.The new materials are created and benefit humans a lot.F.Researchers say the paint could be used in a factory or other large-scale manufacturing.New Paint Resists Oil and WaterHaving an automobile can be costly.In addition to paying for fuel,the owner of a car should set aside money for an insurance policy to guard against possible damage or loss.The owner also has to pay for normal repairs,like an oil change,and other work.Another cost is cleaning.(67)________________Who would not want a car that is always clean because drops of water and oil just roll off?Now,scientists say it may not be too long before self-cleaning paints become more common in many industries.It has been long known that rainwater slides off the leaves of some plants without leaving a mark. Soon,the same may be true for raindrops on your car.Scientists can now reproduce that quality,or property,of tropical plants like the taro and lotus. Researchers are able to do this because of developments in nanophysics:the studies of very small particles.Yao Lu is a researcher from China’s Dalian University of Technology.He currently works at University College London.He used titanium dioxide nanoparticles to create a new kind of water-repellent(防水的)paint.(68)________________Up until now,the biggest problem with water-repellent paints was their vulnerability tomechanical damage.(69)________________This was solved with a special adhesive or glue that sticks to the titanium dioxide nanoparticles..“Applying this spray adhesive,we’ve managed to get very resistant coatings that are resistant to,as I say,rubbing or scratching and with sandpaper and so on.”The new kind of paint can be used on a number of materials,from clothing and paper to steel and glass.(70)________________They predict this product could be used in a number of areas,including auto manufacturing and even hospitals.Ⅳ.Summary writing63.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat.Bees make honey,but they also pollinate large areas of crops,such as straw berries,apples and onions.About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.Unfortunately,bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive.In October of2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between30and90percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees.But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today.Nowadays,beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants.This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change.That means a lot of traveling on trucks,which is very stressful to bees.It is not unusual for up to30%of the hive to die during transport due to stress.In addition,bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on.Instead,they live on a sweet liquid from corn,usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure,but losing bees is very costly to the economy.The bee pollination services are worth over$8billion a year.With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand,which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced.We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day.But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect.____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷(共40分),using the words given in the Ⅴ.Translation:Translate the following sentences into Englishbrackets.64.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate)。

The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing a t the exact same time," says Font. “For (43) ________, the city no longer belongs to them."This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek (44) ________ outside of the city center on its official web site. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they're doing all they can to ease congestion."But it also (45) ________ a better way, it is calling “de-tou rism”: sustainable travel tips and (46) ________ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of (47) ________ for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or (48) ________ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays (49) ________ the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the (50) ________. “We should be asking how do we get tourists to (51) ________, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operators and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they've come. “You're thinking, 'yeah, but at what cost…'”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(an) (52) ________ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my thigh, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of tests and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.56. Which one is not the reason why the doctor provides a blanket?A. To build a connection with his patients.B. To meet the basic needs of his patients.C. To make his patient feel comfortable.D. To make his patients love him.57. The purpose of that story is to show ________.A. the doctor also got a blanket for his patientB. the doctor brought French fries to his patientsC. the doctor usually did his rounds late at nightD. the doctor cared about his patients and understood them58. The author thinks ________ is the basic for a physician.A. being right in his operationsB. ordering hundreds of tests and treatmentsC. helping to save a lifeD. show ing his understanding to meet patients’ needs59. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how to build a connection with patientsB. the importance of caring about patientsC. the necessity of caring about patientsD. how to care about patients(B)MT.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn't changed. It's about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projectsunder way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world's first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power's ability to restore confidence.However, the country's agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point —which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity — has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country's future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to £56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety and reduced risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 4, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the U.S. to ______.A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concernB.show the construction of nuclear power plants cost more the budget availableC.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speedD.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.Costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights on.B. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactors.C. Nuclear's share of power generation remains steady.D. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success.Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

Who would not want a car that is always cleanbecause drops of water and oil just roll off? Now, scientists say it may not be too long beforeself-cleaning paints become more common in many industries.It has been long known that rainwater slides off the leaves of some plants without leaving amark. Soon, the same may be true for raindrops on your car.Scientists can now reproduce that quality, or property, of tropical plants like the taro and lotus.Researchers are able to do this because of developments in nanophysics: the studies of very smallparticles.Yao Lu is a researcher from Chinas Dalian University of Technology. He currently works atUniversity College London. He used titanium dioxide nanoparticles to create a new kind ofwater-repellent (防水的) paint. ______68______.Up until now, the biggest problem with water-repellent paints was their vulnerability tomechanical damage. _____69_____.This was solved with a special adhesive or glue that sticks to the titanium dioxidenanoparticles. “Applying this spray adhesive, we've managed to get very resistant coatings that areresistant to, as I say, rubbing or scratching and with sandpaper and so on.”The new kind of paint can be used on a number of Materials, from clothing and paper to steel and glass. _____70_____.They predict this product could be used in a number of areas, including auto manufacturing and even hospitals.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.Where Are the Bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate (给......授粉) large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD). The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeepers get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food prices. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性? (motivate)2. 网上支付方便了用户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

In some way, Rose Bayhas witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, a type of early seaplane. On 5 July, 1938, an Empire Class flying boat departed from here, Australia’s first international airport. It was heading for England and marked the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days with 30 stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first-class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine. But the flight didn’t come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians, at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as water cold, and the planes were officially used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war, land-based aircraft had developed rapidly and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However, Sydney and its vast waters remained well placed to explore the resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats.(Now listen again.)Questions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of Empire Class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts and use knowledge to change one’s environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning andproblem-solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you’ve got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that’s not the case. In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Cathleen Voss, study author, says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which canproduce fresh ideas. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to Jonathan Why, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smart people tend to possess and may actually lead to messiness. He says, “It’s not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness.” Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue, and planning becomes of less importance than focusing on a problem at hand(Now listen again.)Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people’s eyes?15. According to Jonathan Why from Duke University, which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map-reading and finding direction while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting. Now I understand why I am the one in my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly 1,000 men and women and found they are wired differently.M: Wired differently? You mean connected in different ways?W: Right. In males, the stronger connections run within each half of the brain. In women, the stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now I can understand why I can’t do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can’t j ump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right.(Now listen again.)Questions:17. What is the conversation mainly about?18. Compared with women’s brains, what has the new research found about men’s brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following arewomen better at?20. What does the professor from the University of Oxford think of the new research findings?(That’s the end of listening comprehension.)。

It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.”Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city ------ all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

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

Sunday 6:00 p.m.62.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The evaluation is intended for all preschool and kindergarten children.B.Refund requests can be accepted within 7 days after the registration.C.Participants who sign up for LeboAlert can receive free notification about the event.D.Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line.(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, constructionand decommissioning — and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modularmanufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs) — most of which will not becommercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly fallingcosts of solar and wind.“ Thephysics hasn’changedt. It’abouts much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibilityin terms of operation, said”Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power.But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluotoin Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a tHinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’ s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet toughcarbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclearpower ’ s ability to restoreconfidence.However, the country’agreements with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point — which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity — has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital tothe countr y’ s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much - needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ?56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.D. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64. In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D. A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony CollapseDisaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusualfor up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But oneof the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation : Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate )2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。
