An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind-hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn't just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man's eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl's kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl's are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else's life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24.

What can we infer about the author's attitude?A. Doubtful .B. Disapproving.C. NegativeD. Admiring.27. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B. A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C. A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D. A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina's tea culture is an ancient and profound（意义深远的）cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea-growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountains of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people's search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get-togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea-houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti-oxidant(抗氧化的) features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28. What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A. Different processing methods.B. Different people's preferences.C. Different regions' climates and lands.D. Different times of harvest.29. What does the word "beverages" mean in the passage?A. A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B. A tool or equipment used for cooking.C. A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases.D. Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee.30. What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China?A. Simple and casual.B.

A Long March-5 rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China's space exploration program. The launch not only shows China's advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang'e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side's environment, geological features, and material make-up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang'e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender（上升器）, and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South Pole-Aitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang'e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon's formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial（天体）neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long-term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang'e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China's strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32. What is the main purpose of the Chang'e-6 mission?A. To build a base on the far side of the moon.B. To study how the moon moves around.C. To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D. To look for water on the moon.33. Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A. It's different from the side we can see.B. It's the same as the side we can see.C. We know a lot about it.D. It has no rocks or soil.34. What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A. No change in the future.B. New chances for space activities.C. Fewer friends for China in space.D. No new technologies.35. What could be a suitable title for this passage?A. "The Mystery of the Moon"B. "The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory"C. "Space Exploration and Challenges"D. "China's Chang'e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon's Far Side"第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ANot many people are comfortable going deep underground.But humans have been going under-ground for as long as we've been humans.All over the world you'll find all manner of magnificent underground phenomena.Here are our favourite.1.Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira,ColombiaEngineers,miners and sculptors managed to carve a cathedral beneath200meres.Even more amazing is just how spectacular the Salt Cathedralof Zipaquira in Colombia is.The light falls through it,filling the rooms and tunnels with almost neon-like blues and purples.Catch it on a Sunday,and you'll discover it's still a fully-functioning Roman Catholic church.2.Salina Turda,RomaniaBuilt deep below the Earth's surface in a salt mine,Salina Turda features attractions like a panoramic wheel,mini-golf,bowling,table tennis and even boating on a mine lake.What the park lacks in traditional high-thrills roller coasters,it makes up for in stunning scenery.3.Under,NorwayThough not so much underground as underwater,Under in Kristiansand,Norway,this classy restaurant is five and a half metres below the surface.Diners enjoy themselves as icy North Sea cur-rents move across the windows.You neverquite know what might emerge out of the deep.4.Thrihnukagigur,IcelandIf you don't want to climb up to a volcano crater or view it from far away,you can take a lift 700feet down into the volcano.Thrihnukagigur is safe,having not erupted in4,000years,but even so,it takes a certain kind of thrill-seeker to actively want to get up close and personal with a volcano.1.Which of the following serves as a church?A.Under in Norway.B.Salina Turda in Romania.C.Thrihnukagigur in Iceland.D.Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira in Colombia.2.What can visitors do at Under in Norway?A.Ride on a roller coaster or play mini-golf.B.Have dinner in an underwater restaurant.C.See the light fill every room in the church.D.Take a lift and go down into the volcano.3.What makes Thrihnukagigur a safe place to visit?A.It's only open to church people on Sunday.B.It features safe recreational equipment.C.The lift can take visitors in and out fast.D.It's been inactive for thousands of years.BMy sixteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left,saying she had an accident.I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute.When I finally saw her,I hugged her tight.Then I looked at the other driver.Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the speed limit was forty-five,I could have choked him.“It could have been worse,”I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the doctor's office. Luckily,four days after the accident,Julia felt better.At her appointment,her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities,including driving.But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.Later that day,I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent.On the phone,she was professional,telling the agent what had happened in a clear,concise way.I realized she sounded like an adult.And adults drive cars.I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn't good for her.When she hung up,I hugged her.“You're stronger than you think,"I said."And tomorrow you're going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch.You just have to push through the fear and do it,and it will get easier each time you do.”I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.The next day,Julia drove my car to meet her friends.As I watched her leave,I felt nervous and proud.She texted me when she got to the restaurant,and I felt my heart rate return to normal.The tears I'd been holding back all week flooded my eyes.Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was frightening,but it was also necessary.4.What was the author's reaction at the driver's words?A.She almost burst with anger.B.She felt guilty for her daughter.C.She felt sympathy for him.D.She was choked with sorrow.5.What did the doctor suggest to Julia?A.Staying away from driving.B.Attending a driving lesson.C.Contacting the insurance agent.D.Retaking her routine activities.6.What did the author realize when Julia spoke on the phone?A.The driver took the blame for the accident.B.The accident had been worse than expected.C.Julia should overcome the fear to drive.D.Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.7.Why did the author cry at Julia's text?A.Julia was good at learning to drive.B.Julia recovered mentally and physically.C.Julia had supportive friends and parents.D.Julia could look after herself when driving.CAs summer comes,the promise of"working from anywhere"comes down to the discomfort of the sweaty kitchen table,a noisy cafe or the office hot desk.Now hotels are offering"third spaces", promoting the concept of work in an elegant setting.Your columnist Bartleby tried out two recent London offerings.She first headed to Birch,a hotel north of the city.Men and women in their20s and early30s work over laptops and glasses of red wine at its Hub co-working area,with classes in pottery, baking,and other structured activities.Some pay a monthly membership fee and enjoy special discounts to stay there and work digitally remotely,but you can,like Bartleby,come as an overnightguest.Her second destination was the Shangri-La hotel in the Shard,which now offers stays from 10am to6pm,aimed at those wishing to work and relax by offering a change of scenery to inspire.Both Birch and the Shangri-La have their virtues,like Birch's excellent Wi-Fi and the stretch class.So does the Shangri-La,with its pool and a view of St Paul's Cathedral from your room on the38th floor.Yet problems soon became apparent.The first is price.An overnight stay at Birch or the Shangri-La sets you back,while the city has plenty of cheaper“third spaces”.The second problem is:how productive workers can be with all the distractions designed to make work not feel like work?Third,if you can get down to business,you may as well be at home or the office.The friendly atmosphere Birch tries so hard to produce is the very thing you miss by staying away from your office.As with most material indulgences（放纵），a sense of emptiness comes once the freshness of the hotel wears off.Just don't expect white-collar types to crowd in hotels for a hard day's work.Most of the Shangri-La's daytime residents aren't executives keen t inspire.As for Bartleby,you will find her at The Economist's London head office or,failing that,her kitchen table.8.What's the purpose of working"third spaces"?A.To free people of traveling to work.B.To promote workplace creativity.C.To place workers in good work settings.D.To help people deal with the lockdown.9.What's the advantage of Birch according to Bartleby?A.It holds regular work-related classes.B.It provides discounts for companies.C.It has inspiring scenery for visitors.D.It offers day work and night stays.10.What does the Shangri-La offer to office workers?A.Stays there in the working hours.B.Stays overnight for office work.C.The friendly office atmosphere.D.Work-related training courses.11.How does the author like the idea of working from hotels?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Sympathetic.D.Uncertain.DCar tyres produce particles（微粒）when picking up speed or stopping，which are considered by environmental scientists to be one of the most significant sources of micro-plastics in the ocean.Rain-fall and wind carry them into rivers and the sea.They are also released into the atmosphere,where they can circulate into the ocean and back again.A2020study suggested windblown micro-plastics are a bigger source of ocean pollution than rivers.While it is difficult to pin down the exact composition of micro-plastics,there is plenty of re-search which points to tyre dust making up a significant portion.In2017,a global model found tyre wear to be the second largest source of primary micro-plastics in the ocean,at28%.And in 2019,a report by scientists across Europe concluded abrasion（磨损）from car tyres was a large source of micro-plastics.While there remains a lack of data on risks to the environment and human health,the scientists concluded that if future emissions remain constant or increase,the ecological risks could be widespread within a century.Tyre-wear particles are ubiquitous.The average tyre loses4kg over its lifetime,and tyre particles have been found everywhere from the deep sea to the atmosphere,even in the Arctic and the Antarctic.The study of micro plastic is just beginning.Fewer than 100scientific papers about them have been published to date,all of them in the last decade.Edward Kolodziej,a professor at the University of Washington,cites two studies from China showing that tyre dust is an important contributor to urban air pollution.“There're unknown chemicals present in these things that are ending up in our lungs.”Experts call for more transparency from the tyre companies.“But the formula is what gives a manufacturer competitive advantage.Sharing ingredients is difficult and complicated.Very few people,except manufacturers,know what's in the tyres,”said Allen.“When it comes to micro-plastic,we don't know what a safe level is and we may have already passed it."12.What did the global model find about car tyres?A.They cause more pollution to the sea than to rivers.B.Their exact composition can be tracked down.C.Tyre particles are one of the largest sea pollutants.D.They have caused great risk to human survival.13.What does the underlined word "ubiquitous"in paragraph 3mean?A.Widespread.B.Dangerous.plex.D.Unique.14.What can we infer from Edward's words?A.The two studies from China are leading the fashion.B.The unknown chemicals in the air are dangerous.C.Tyre particles are a major pollutant in the air in cities.D.Further research should be done about tyre particles.15.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Tyres Are to Blame as a Pollutant in the OceanB.Tyre Companies Should Act Against Micro-plasticC.Tyre Dust Becomes a Huge Threat to Ocean LifeD.Safety Levels of Micro-plastic Have Been Raised根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高考英语上海卷模拟试卷（―）II. Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1 分，共20 分）Section 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, used one word that best fits each blank.Social Networking Sites: Are They Changing Human Communication?It is hardly news that people are using the Internet for communicating with others more and more. Some people fear that someday we will no longer feel the need to talk to one another face-to-face. However, some recent studies suggest that people communicate, or stay in touch, even more than they used to. (21)_______ side you fall on, what is clear and not debatable, is that human communication (22)_______ (undergo) tremendous changes in the 21st century. But results of recent scientific studies may have us (23) _______ (reconsider) just how much our new communication forms have changed our world.In June 2008 a British psychiatrist, Himanshu Tyagi, warned the generation of people born after 1990 use the Internet to communicate with others so much that they may have trouble (24)_______ (form) real relationships. The Internet is a world where everything moves fast and changes all the time, where relationships are quickly disposed of at the click of a mouse.Another psychologist, Dr. Arie Sigman, warned of physical effects (25) _______ using social networking sites. He suggests that the decrease in the amount of time (26) _______ (devote) to interacting with people face-to-face could have biological effects on the human body, (27)_______ can potentially lead to the development of illnesses, such as cancer.Finally, another British scientist, Susan Greenfield, warned members of the British government that social networking sites could actually be changing the human mind, (28) _______ (make) it more childlike. Since everything, including responses, is immediate on social networking sites, in actual life people may expect an immediate response. When this doesn't happen, their behavior can be described as almost childlike.Despite all of these warnings, studies can be found (29) _______ demonstrate the positive aspects of social networking sites. The results of one study show that using social networking sites has boosted the self-esteem of young adults. In addition to scientific studies, there are many who feel that the benefits of social networking sites far outweigh the possible negative aspects. Many people, especially those who spend a lot of time at home, for various reasons, (30) _______ (find) the Internet a lifeline. They are able to communicate with many people using these sites. 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 more word than you need.When photography was first invented, it changed the world: what people saw could be recorded as it really was without the (31) _______of an artist. Photography as historical record has been very important ever since. But equally important, the very first pioneers saw that it too, was an art form, not merely a way to (32) _______reality. True photographers are artists of the camera.Photography is charming because it is both an art and a science. It is an art over which the photographer has (33) _______ control but only to a certain extent: unlike a painter, you can only take photographs of what is there. If the sun is not shining, you cannot photograph sunlight. So you need to find a subject. But the greatest photographs are of subjects that most people would have walked past without (34) _______. The truly great photographers are those who can see, in their mind's eye, the photograph that they can create through their vision, artistry and skill. Vision comes first. If you cannot see the (35) _______ , you can never be a true photographer. Artistry, by contrast, can be learned and developed: you can read a book or you take lessons. You can learn from a great practitioner. Perhaps the simplest aspect to describe is framing.The human eye has a huge field of view (36) _______ almost 180 degrees. The lens of a camera, by contrast, has a very restricted field of view. This is both a curse and a blessing. Try as you might, you cannot (37)_______ the sheer scale of the human perspective of the world. But you can and must, select the image that you are attempting to snap ——or rather to create. Look through the viewfinder: learn to see the world through the lens. Understand the difference it makes when you remove the (38) _______and select only what really matters. That is artistry.Next comes skill. This is the (39) _______ part. Skill is exercised long before you even start to look for a subject: there are a series of essential decisions which you have to take. Do you want to use a traditional roll-film camera or a digital one? Each of them has advantages and drawbacks. Now that all cameras are in effect mini computers, there is a(n) (40) _______ to leave much of the decision-making to the electronics inside but the true photographer will override the factory settings to retain control over the details of exposure, focus and contrast.III.Reading Comprehension (45 分)Section A (每题1分，共15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ownership seems straightforward in business: Get a patent or copyright when you create something. Charge for its (41) _______. Avoid ambiguity (模棱两可)about who owns what. But much of this wisdom is (42) _______. The world's most visionary businesses already know this and are skilled at ownership engineering 一a term we define to mean creating value by managing how products and services are (43) _______. Here, we introduce three of the most successful 一and least known 一ownership engineering strategies.(1) Tolerating TheftDisney strategically tolerates theft. For decades, the company was known for aggressively defending its copyrights and trademarks. But now Disney often (44) _______, tolerating super-fan pirates who create innovative products. (45)_______, when online vendor "Bibbidi Bobbidi Brooke,’ came out with a hugely popular line of rose-gold sequined Mickey ears in 2016, Disney did not shut her down, as was its legal right. (46)_______, it simply copied her design. After Disney’s official version hit the stores, the new Mickey ears sold out immediately. Everyone (47) _______: Brooke stays in business and Disney benefits from low-cost product development.(2) (48)_______OwnershipBusiness leaders, and their lawyers, have a bias that legal ownership matters. Surprisingly often, it doesn't, and some businesses today voluntarily give up ownership altogether, even when the law makes protection (49) _______. The key is to know when and how to deploy effective substitutes for legal ownership. For example, some cutting-edge entrepreneurs value (50) _______over patents. Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX says, “We have essentially no patents. Our primary long-term competition is India. If we published patents, it would be nonsensical, because the Indian would just use them as a recipe book. "(3)Leaning In To AmbiguityBusiness leaders may (51) _______to invest when the ownership environment for their product or service is unsettled. Many assume clear ownership rules are a(n) (52) _______ for entering markets. But legal clarity is not always that important. Millions of people own their cars and apartments, but can they (53) _______ people for short term rides or stays? Until recently, the law was unclear about the scope of owners' rights. That ambiguity didn't (54) _______Uber and Airbnb from pressing ahead into new markets. These start-ups built on the tech-world motto, "It's better to ask for forgiveness, than permission.,^ This motto is emphatically not a call to break the law. Just the opposite. Ifs a recognition that ownership rules are always less complete than people assume 一and that ownership ambiguity can provide legitimate and valuable business opportunities.Businesses can always gain a competitive (55)_______by finding novel ways to engineer ownership 一just like they engineer every other feature of their goods and services.41. A. regulation B. necessity C. ignorance D. use42. A. wrong B. awesome C. consistent D. dynamic43. A. generated B. owned C. exposed D. intervened44.

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)The prospect of a holiday is likely to persuade even the most depressed that life is worth living. Few events are anticipated more eagerly, nor form the subject of more complex and enriching daydreams. They offer us perhaps our finest chance to achieve happiness--outside of the constraints of work, of our struggle for survival and for status. The way we choose to spend them embodies, if only unknowingly, an understanding of what life might ideally be about. However, holidays almost always go wrong. The tragicomic(悲喜剧的)disappointments of travel are a staple of office chat; the half-built hotel, the sense of disorientation, the mid- afternoon despair, the horrible fellow travellers, the lethargy(无精打采)before ancient ruins.I remember a trip to Barbados a few years ago. I looked forward to it for months. But on my first morning on the island, I realised something at once obvious and surprising; that my body proved a temperamental （喜怒无常的）partner. Asked to sit on a deckchair so that the mind could savour the beach, the trees and the sun, it collapsed into difficulties; the ears complained of an uncomfortable wind, the skin of stickiness and the toes of sand lodged between them. Unfortunately, I had brought something else that risked clouding my appreciation of my surroundings; my entire mind -not only the part that had planned the journey and agreed to pay for it, but also the part committed to anxiety, boredom, self-disgust and financial alarm. At home, as I had a look at the photographs of Barbados, I had forgot anything besides their contents. I had simply been in the pictures; alone with their elements. But sadness and regrets were my bedfellows on that Caribbean island, acting like distorting glass between myself and the world.It may be necessary to accept that the anticipation of travel is perhaps the best part about it. Our holidays are never as satisfying as they are when they exist in an as-yet-unrealised form; in the shape of an airline ticket and a brochure. I continue to travel myself but there are times when I too feel there might be no finer journeys than those provoked in the imagination by remaining at home slowly turning the pages of an airline timetable.56.What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A.Struggle for survival will help attain happiness.B.Staying at home may bring about disappointments.C.The selection of a holiday is a product of an unconscious desire.D.The thought of a holiday makes leading a miserable life worthwhile.57.What does the underlined ''it" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. the beach.B. the author's mindC. the sunD. the author's body58.According to the passage, what does the author think about holidays?A.Holidays will make an unachieved objective even more desirable.B.Holidays will contribute to altering a previous pattern of behavior.C.Thinking about holidays is probably better than actually going on one.D.Planning holidays will bring benefits to a person mentally and physically.（B）My vision: my world♦Description of the project"My vision: my world" is an annual photo competition. Open to anyone 一professionals and amateurs —the competition will be for the best photo of a place in the city. Fifty shortlisted （入围的）photos will be shown in an exhibition at the Harper Rhone Art Gallery, and the winner will receive a new I KAM camera.♦Goals and objectives"My vision: my world" will help people to look at their local environment with fresh eyes, and give them a motivation to preserve that environment. It will also be an outlet for creativity and artistic vision in the city.♦CompetitorsIn our area, there are no competitions similar to “My vision: my world". There are various national photography competitions, but very few of these have a local theme.♦CostsThe judging panel will work on a voluntary basis, looking through the photos at a designated date in May. The costs of mounting the exhibition will be bome by the gallery. IKAM Inc. has agreed to sponsor the competition in return for their logo appearing on the programme.♦ScheduleEntries for "My vision: my world" will be accepted from January to May. At the end of May the judges will choose a shortlist of 50 photos. These will be exhibited in June, one of the busiest times of year for the gallery. This will ensure maximum exposure for the work on display. During the exhibition the public will vote for their favourite photo, and the winner will be announced in July.♦Conclusion"My vision: my world,, is an exciting new project. We believe it will be very popular among local people and visitors to the city. Furthermore, there are many opportunities for spin-offs such as book projects, a web site, and talks by local photographers.59.The passage is mainly intended to _______.A.recommend a course on photographyB.introduce an environmental campaignC.advertise a photography competitionD.attract funding for a city-wide project60.Which of the following statements is true?A.The event is held twice a year.B.Professionals are favored over amateurs.C.Participants will be charged a certain fee.D.A unique feature of the event is its local theme.61.The exhibition will be held in June in order that_______.A.participants will have enough time to take photosB.the photos can be enjoyed by more visitorsC.judges can pick out the best photos on displayD.there will be more time to prepare the spin-offs62.IKAM Inc.'s willingness to sponsor the event is based on _______.A.the company getting free publicityB.its environmental consciousnessC.promoting creativity and artistic visionD.attracting talents to the company(C)All over the world, from Baltimore to Auckland, coastal cities are facing the same issue: the regeneration of their docklands. These areas, which were once at the very heart of urban activity, have emptied over time as modern shipping requirements have moved the docks further out of town. The resultant migration of population and decline in commercial activity are two effects which therefore need to be addressed.A key factor in this has been the growth of the container industry, now responsible for over 75% of goods transported worldwide. As a consequence of this, ships have progressively increased in size to such a degree that larger docks are required and more sophisticated and efficient cranes. This has led to the decline of city-centre docks along with services and homes connected to them. Another direct result of this is that ships spend less time in port, and thus there are fewer crew members spending money in these areas. One alternative source of revenue is the cruise industry, with a number of cities building facilities for cruise liners which can bring over 5,000 tourists into a place in one day.As a result of this migration from waterfront areas, hundreds of acres of land have been left to waste away. This has meant in some cities an increase in crime in these parts as gangs have taken control and squatters (擅自占用他人房子的人)have taken up residence. As the situation has gotworse, the appeal of these areas for locals or tourists has decreased. This vicious circle can only be broken through redevelopment.Governments, therefore, have had to make important financial and strategic decisions about these waterfronts, whether they are giving onto a river, a lake, a bay or the sea. In Baltimore, for example, the decision was taken to regenerate the docklands as an area for professional offices and small start-ups as well as rebranding the area as a destination for conferences, events, cyclists and urban tourists.This meant that all the services and infrastructure required for these segments had to be put in place. I think the statistics attached prove that the project was a great success, due in part to the consultation and planning stages, which led to a unified plan.In conclusion, I would state that although it is sad to see the decline of such important historical waterfront areas, the resulting renovation can lead to economic and social improvements of great value. I would therefore strongly advocate regeneration plans which bring services, activity and people back to these wastelands and which restore them to an important role in the city.63.The second paragraph is mainly about _______.A.changes in shippingB.the decline of the docklandsC.a solution to docklands’ declineD.the rise of the cruise industry64.Migration from the docklands had led to_______.B. homelessnessC. an increase in crimeD. less appealing residents65.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Baltimore handled the planning stages well.B.The Baltimore regeneration was mainly for tourists.C.These days, crew members spend a lot of time in port spending money.D.Overall, the author is not in favour of the regeneration of dockland areas.66.The last paragraph offers_______ .A.a regeneration plan that is worth advocatingB.another example of renovation that succeedsC.an accurate prediction about waterfronts' futureD.the author's perspective on improving waterfront areasSection C (每题2分，共8分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.We all like to think that we are rational thinkers, but poor decisions and choices are evident all around us: staying in bad relationships or boring jobs, taking up smoking, eating too much junk food, taking out loans we know we can't repay; the list goes on. (67) ______ Surely we know how to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages in a situation and come to a sensible conclusion. One reason appears to be what psychologists call "decision fatigue”: the idea that we all have a limited store of energy for making decisions and exerting self-control.(68) ______If you are ground down by everyday struggles, you have less mental energy for good decisions. These findings go a long way to explaining why people with problems such as poverty or poor housing so often appear to make irrational decisions 一for example, in relation to their health or financial affairs.(69) ______Most of us will have had the experience of going to bed with a seemingly unsolvable problem, only to wake up with a flash of inspiration the next morning. So decisions made when we feel least tired are more likely to be the right ones. Another worthwhile strategy is to pretend that you are advising a friend (who can be imaginary!), rather than relating decisions to your own life. (70) ______And it can help you to think logically rather than emotionally.Perhaps the most important thing we can do to minimise the possibility of regret is to make sure that our decisions are in line with our life values; in other words, to have a life vision and be true to it. Instead of asking ourselves questions such as "Which option is safer?, or "Which option is best financially?”, it is far better to ask 'How will I feel about this when I'm 70?'第II卷(共50分)IV. Summary Writing (10 分)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.71.Early next month, local officials will gather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a facility in Whitsett, North Carolina. A new production line will start to roll and the seemingly impossible will happen: America will start making personal computers again. Mass-market computer production had been slowly disappearing for the past thirty years, and the vast majority of laptops have always been made in Asia. Dell shut two big American factories in 2008 and 2010 in a big move to China, and HP now makes only a small number of business desktops at home. The new manufacturing facility is being built not by an American company but by Lenovo, a highly successful Chinese technologygroup.The original ideas behind offshoring was that Western firms with high labour costs could make huge savings by sending work to countries where wages were much lower. Offshoring means moving work and jobs outside the country where a company is based. For several decades, that strategy worked, often brilliantly. But now companies are rethinking their global footprints. Wages in China and India have been going up by 10-20 percent a year for the past decade, whereas manufacturing pay in America and Europe has hardly changed. Other countries, including Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, still offer low wages, but not China's scale, efficiency and supply chains. Lenovo's labour costs will still be higher than in its factories in China and Mexico, but the gap has narrowed substantially.Also, American firms have found that manufacturing somewhere cheap and far away but keeping research and development at home can have a negative effect on innovation. One answer to this would be to move the R&D too, but that has other drawbacks: the threat of losing valuable intellectual property in far-off places becomes ever larger. And a succession of wars and natural disasters in the past decade has highlighted the risk that supply chains a long way from home may become disrupted.V.Translation （3+3+4+5,共15 分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.年轻人很有探索和学习劲儿，这往往需要他们经常反思自己所犯的错误。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath!The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking forfood, they smell the seedlings’leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.the young trees absorb garlicthe roots of the young trees smell like garlicthe young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatthe leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young TreesPassage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (临时旳), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.hair loss is a normal, healthy signman should pay special attention to hair lossit’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossmen lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.illness causes hair losshuman beings have no way to cure hair losshair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnesshair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world”means _______.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futurethe writer believes the earth exists for everwe can’t destroy the world by any meansthe last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with SeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston, Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,”Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.”JohnWinthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.the power of nature is terribleearthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursthe direction of an earthquake can be discovereduniversities study the cause of earthquakes72. The text suggests that _________.A. Boston was badly destroyedB. earthquakes are common in BostonC. John Winthrop had difficulty sleepingD. John Winthrop was a scientist73. Which of the following is true?________.Some tubes were broken into pieces and stopped the old clockThe professor lit a candle because of power failureBoston is in the southeast of CanadaThe shocks were slight in one way74. The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:15C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”. Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, letalone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?”had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied”in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsⅤ.
