I had seen three especially mean-spirited things happenI hrst thought about mean-spinted people as I walked from the bus stop to the office where l work I make this walk every day.and its my fr st step away trom the comforts of home and into the tensions of the cty For me,a landmark on the route is a tiny patch of ground that was once strewn with rubbish and broken glass The city is trying to make a "pocket park" out of t by planting trees and flowers Every day this s ping.I watched the skinny saplings put out tny leaves When I wa ked past,I atways noted how big the tuhips were getting and made bets w ith myself on when they would bioom.But last Wednesday,as I reached the park I fell sick.Someone had knocked the trees to the ground and trampled the budding tulips into the dirt Someone had destroyed a bit d beauty for no reason At lunchtime on Wednesday,I witressed more meamess Along wth dozens of cther hungry.hued people,I wes waiting in line at McDon ald's Aso in line was a young mother with two tred,impatent chidren clnging tb her legs The mother was trying to catm the children,but it was obviousthat they were about to start crying The lines barely moved,and the unchline tension was building Then.one of the children began to cry and scream The litle boy'syels resounded through the restaurant,and people stared angrily at the helpless mother Finally.o ne man turned to her and said,"Lady,you shouldn't bring your kids tb a pubie place if you can't contrd them*The woman was exhausted a nd hungry Someone in ine could have helped her with her problem Instead,even though many of the customers in the restaurant were par ents themselves,they treated her lke a cnminal.The worst incident of mean -spiritedness thatl saw that day happened after I left work AsI walked to the bus stop,I approached an oid wom an huddled in a dooway She was wrapped in a dirty banket and cutched a cheap vinyl bag packed with her belongings She was one of th "street people our society leaves tb fend for themseves The Unted States,the nchestcountry on earth should not allow such suffering Some of these victims even live in cardboard bores dunng the coldest winters Approaching the woman from the opposite direction were thr ee eenagers who were laughing and taking in loud voces When hey saw the oid woman,they began tb shout crude remarks at her One of them grabbed her shopping bag and pretended to trow tout into tme street The woman stared helplessly at them,like a wounded anim al surrounded by hunters Then,having had their fun,the teenagers went on tneir wayI had seen enough of the world's coldness that day and wented tb leavetbehind At home,I hudded in the warmth of my tamily I wondere d why we al contrbute b the world's supply of petty cruety.There's enough of italready.11.

Even a skilled writer probably could n ot descnbe all the leatures that make one face different from ancther.Yet a very young chid-or even an animal,such as a pigeon-can le am to recognize taces,we al take this ability for grantedWe also lell people apart by how they behave,When we talk about someone's penor she acts.s peaks,thinks and feels that make that individual d fferent from others.Like the human face,human personalty is very complex But descnbing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than descn bing his face.If you were asked to descnbe what a 'nice face"lboked lihe,you probably would have a difficut bme doing soBut if you were asked to descnbe a "nice person",you might begin tb think about someone who was kuind,considerato,fmendly,wam,a nd so forthThere are many words to descnbe howa person thinks,eels and acts Fordin Alport,an American psychologists,found nearly 18 000 English words charactenzing differences in people's behavior And manyof us use his infomation as a basis for descnibing,of typing.hispersonality.Bookworms.conservatives,military types-people are described with such terms People have alweys tried tb "type'each other,Actors in earty Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the vi llains（坏人）or the hero＇s role In tact，the words ＂person＂and＂personalty＂come from the Latn persona，meaning ＇＂mask＂.Today，mostt elevision and movie actors do not wear masks But we can easily tel the 'good guys trom the "bad guys'"because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions16.

Or is inteligence developed by out environment and our experience?Strangely e nough,the answer to these questions is yes To some extent our inteiligence s gven tb us at birth,and no amount of specal education can make a genius out of a chid bom with low intelligence On the other hand,a child who lves in a bonng environment will develop his intetigence less than one who lives in nich and vaned surroundings Thus the hmits of person's intelligence are hred at brth,whether or not he reaches hose lmts wil depend on his environment This view,now held by most experts,can be supported n a number of ways.It is easy tb show that irteligence s tb some extert something we are bom wth The closer the blood relatonship two people,the closer they are likety tb be in intellgence Thus f we take two unvelated people at random from the populaton,it is likety that their degree of in telligence will be completety different it.on the other hand.we take two identcal twns,they will very likely be as intelligent as each othe t.Relations like brothers and sisters.parents and chitren,usualy have smar nteligence,and thus cieafty suggests that intelligence d epends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments We mightsend one,for example,to a universty an d the other to a factory where the work is boring,We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and thvs indicates that envircontact with each other but who are not related at all are likely tb have similar degree of intefigence.21.The wrter is in favor of the view that man's ntelligence is gven tb himA) at birthB)through educatonC)both at birth and trough educatonD)neither at birth nor through education22 Ha child is bom with low nteligence,he mayA) become a genusB) still become a genus the should be give special educationC) reach his inteligence lmits in nch surroundingsD)not reach his intelgence in his te23. In the second paragraph 'f we take two unrelated peoA) pick any two personsB) take out two differert personsC) choose two persons who are relativeD)choose two persons weh diferent inteligence24.The example of the tmins going b a universty and tb a factory separately showsA) the mportance of ther intelligenceB)the role of environmert on intelligenceC)te mportance of teir postonsD)the part that birth plays25 The best the of this passage can beA) Surroundings B)IntellgenceC)Dependence on Envronment D)Efect of EducatonPassage FourA telescope,lke a microscope.enables us to see things which we could nat see without i A microscope magnifes things(or features of ngs)which are so smal that they are invisible tb the naked eye They may be as smal as a cel or even a small group of molecules Micre n Greek,and in several English technical words,means"smal"But ele-in Greek means distant or tar away The word "television"is alsc erived from this Greek word In England,Australia,and New Zealand we cal a televsion set the "elly'.which is almost the same as the C ek word In the United Sates people cal ta TV.A telescope enables us to see objects which,though milions of tmes lbrger han ourseves,appear much smaller because they are so away Even the images of stars which we see thvrough a telescope are.of course greaty reduced in size in comparson with the stars a al size But a telescope enables us tb see stars which are invisible tb the human eye as well as gving us a brighter,clearer image of those which are visibleIn the last twenty or thirty years there has been a great improvemert in tpower d belescopes There are now me very large and powerful elescopes in existence When you see the sun nse in the morming you are eight minutes late Whatis the meanng of ths strange statement?

Passage ThreeThe word horsepower was first used two hundred years ago.James Watt had made the world'first widely used steam engine.He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was,for at that time there were no units for measuring power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute.He called that unit one horsepower.With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lit a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could ift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse,Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.41.The selection says that Watt made the firstA.engineB.steam engineC.widely used steam engineefui engine42.watt wanted to find a way toA measure the work his engine could doB. tel people how powerful his engine wasC.ift a 3300-pound weightD. bothA& B43.He made up a unit of measurement based on the strength ofA.amanB.ten horsesC.his englneD.a horse44.One horsepower would equal theA. work a horse could do in a minuteB. weight a horse could intC.work a horse could do in ten minutesD. weight of one horse45.The best tide for this selection isA Watt'EngineB.The Onigin of the Term HorsepowerC.Units of MeasurementD.II Happened 200 Years AgoPassage FourWhen I was about six years old,my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhoodall of them too young to walk and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms.When she asked the explanation of this,I informed her that it was my school of dance.She was amused, and placing herself at the piano,she began to play for me.This school continued and became very ter on,Iittle giris of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them.This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupation.My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher,but his lessons did not please me.When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why. and when he replied"Because it is beautiful,I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class,never to retum.This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing onlydisturbed my dream.I dreamed of a different dance.I did not know just what t would be.but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I loundthe key.My art was already in me when I was a little girt,and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled.I beteve that whatever the child isgoing to do in life should be begun when it is very young.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One:When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples --- people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growingbusinesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B.Because it saves them a lot of money.C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.3.What can you infer from the passage?A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home FurnishingsC. Furnished ApartmentsD. A New Idea5.Young people liked renting home furniture in that _______.A. They have less money.B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.C. The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage Two:For the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development – health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme“Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.6.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise7.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises8.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.9.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of theslowest type.10.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning ofthe passage, the author means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage Three:Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings – theaters and offices as well as classrooms – are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings andreuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.11.Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it_____.A. was difficult to collectB. came in variety of formsC. was difficult to get rid of itD. tended to be absorbed by physical objects12.Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstowncampus?A. The heat is supplied by human bodiesB. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and otherheat-emitting objectsC. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuelD. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel13.At the Johnstown campus, how many of the buildings are heated entirely bythe heat collection system?A. NoneB. TwoC. FourD. Six14.According to the passage, which of the following would produce theLEAST amount of heat?A. A fat female who studies hardB. A thin female who does not studyC. A fat male who does not studyD. A thin male who studies hard15.In the last paragraph, the “hottest prospect” means the____.A. most intelligent studentB. most desirable studentC. most diligent studentD. most learned studentPassage Four：The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.16.The library resources can be helpful when we ______.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above17.Readers’ familiarity with different resources ______.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different18.The author believes that ______.A. library resources should be used frequently and completelyB. library resources cannot be made good use of if they are not available tousC. one is supposed to be aware of the library resources that are usually notavailableD. one is supposed to have good knowledge and make good use of libraryresources19.When educators wish to share some information with their colleagues, theyoften ______.A. publish it in a professional journalB. organize professional meetingsC. get access to it in the libraryD. make use of some library services20.The chapter in question mainly ______.A. deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPart III.

Reading Comprehension（30 points）Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C,and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter.Passage OneIn the United States, teaching is very important. If teachers do not teach well, students complain. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services.Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes.Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before classes. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely(具体地) and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.1.( )According to the passage, good teachers should ___________.A．try to please their students B．treat their students as consumersC．understand their students well D．make sure their students understand2.( )What are students expected to do before attending a class?A．Go over the lessons thoroughly. B．Understand the textbooks well.C．Do the reading assignments. D．Prepare on outline for discussion.3.( )When a program starts, students should first __________.A．learn how to do research and write papers.B．have some learning experienceC．learn about the course concretely and clearlyD．know how to participate in discussions.4.( )Higher level classes are taught mainly through ________.A．giving a lot of lectures to studentsB．involving students in discussionsC．asking students questions in classD．answering students’ questions in class5.( ) Students in higher level classes spend much time______.A.listening to the teacher’s lecturesB.answering the teacher’s questionsC.discussing and presenting their ideasD.reading different books and taking notesPassage TwoFares and schedules are always changing. Travel information can be seen everywhere on the Internet and there are so many vacation packages waiting for you to choose. All this can make travel planning confusing and time consuming. To make a choice, tourists and business people often turn to travel agents, who provide them with the best possible travel arrangements.In general, travel agents give advice on places you should go to, and make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rental, sightseeing, and entertainment. They may also tell you about weather conditions, restaurants, and tourists attractions. For international travel, agents also make sure that you have the necessary papers such as passports and visas, and tell you how to go through the customs. They sometimes provide information on money exchange rates.Travel agents will search all kinds of sources for information on departure and arrival times, fares, hotel ratings and accommodations. They may visit hotels andrestaurants to know more. In this way they will be able to provide their customers with more valuable advice on travel.Travel agents also promote their services, using phones, direct mail and the Internet. They arrange advertising displays for some social groups, and suggest company trips to business managers. Travel agents no longer receive commission from domestic airline, and they face more and more competition from the Internet for low cost fares. In orders to find a small business in the Market, many travel agents now specialize in travel to certain regions or for certain groups of people, such as honeymooners, grandparents, etc.6. ( )This passage mainly tells us ______.A. what a travel agent's work is all aboutB. the interesting part of travel agents' workC. the difficult part of travel agents' workD. the commission travel agents can get from domestic airlines7.

Passports and visas.B. Identification cards.C. Only passports.D. College diploma.Passage ThreePearl Carlson was shaken awake at 3:30 a. m. by a forceful pull. King, the family dog, was trying to pull her out of bed. Then she smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parent’s room. Pearl’s shouting awoke her mother, Fern , and father, Howard. Howard had recently been in a hospital for lung disease. Fern helped Howard to a first-floor window, told him to climb out, and then ran to her daughter.Still inside, King appeared at Pearl’s window, making squeaking sound. When she ran toward Pearl’s bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn’t yet escaped. She made her way back through the smoke and fire. Following King’s sound, she found Howard lay on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe.At daybreak, the Carlsons saw that King’s entire body was badly burned. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burned his throat. He couldn’t bark normally now. Only after the seven-year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of wood in his mouth. They realized that King , who slept outside, had bitten through a wood door to warn his family.11.( ) Why did Pearl Carlson wake up at such an early hour?A.Her mother awoke her from sleep.B.She was awaken by the family dog.C.Her father pulled her out of bed.D.She smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire.12.( )Which of the following is TRUE about Howard before the fire?A.He had just had an operation.B.He had lost his job in a hospital.C.He had had problems with his lung.D.He had got very sick because of smoking.13.( )How did Fern know that her husband hadn’t yet come out of the house?A.King made some sounds at Pearl’s window.B.Pearl told her that Howard was still inside.C.Fern didn’t see her hus band outside.D.Fern heard her husband shout for help.14.( )We know from the passage that when the room caught fire, King____.A.was sleeping in Pearl’s roomB.ran out of the house immediatelyC.broke into the house to wake up PearlD.barked at the door to wake up the Carlsons15.( )From the passage we can guess that King is a/an____ dog.zyB. uglyC.cleverD.fatV.Translation（15 points）Directions: For this section, you are supposed to translate the following 5 sentences into Chinese.1.Mary is a keen reader of love stories.____________________________________________________________________ 2.The small town usually starts to come alive after dark.____________________________________________________________________ 3.I was amazed at her knowledge of French literature.____________________________________________________________________ 4.When they got married they had lots of problems, but things worked out in the end._____________________________________________________________________ 5.He is friendly and rarely does he lose his temper.______________________________________________________________________。

Analysis (12 marks, 6 marks each)Are the following E/R diagrams good designs? Justify your answer and try to give better designs if they exist. If you feel they work well under some requirements but not under others, give specific examples. To simplify, keys are not underlined in the diagrams.a.Below is an E/R diagram for companies and employees. One constraint forthe E/R diagram below is that each employee can work in only onecompany.Solution:By making “manager” an attribute, the diagram maintains the one-to-one relationship. However, it does not guarantee that the manager is one of the employees.b.Below is an E/R diagram for a company database involving projects,departments, and employees. Each project can be sponsored by severaldepartments and monitored by several employees in the company. Eachdepartment can sponsor several projects. Each employee can monitor severalprojects and may work in several departments. An employee can monitor aproject that is not in his department.Solution:In this case a trade-off needs to be made between binary relationship and ternary relationship. The same information can be modeled more naturally using the E/R diagram as below. It’s not a good idea to blend the concept of “sponsor” and “monitor”together. Also, in the original diagram, we lost the information of which employee works in which company.Solution:Ⅲ.

同济夜大2017英语期末考题
同济大学继续教育学院2017学年秋季学期期终考试专升本复习卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage OneFor the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development –health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady sai d. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as a n excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor sai d. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme “Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.1.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise2.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises3.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of the slowest type.5.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning of the passage, theauthor means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage TwoFor Roy Johnson, a senior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed hi the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz. “It took them a while to realize that I was not a valet,” says Johnson.“It didn’t matter that I was dressed for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal, just as he had. What mattered was that I didn’t fit his idea of someone who could be equal to him.”Such incidents, which are depressingly familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes and social classes, help explain why black and white attitudes often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68 percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38 percent of whites agreed.Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official segregation is a bad memory and 40 years of laws, policies and court decisions have helped African-Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Indeed, a black man born iin Harlem could be the nation’s next president.But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters. African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, like the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivial misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismissed as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are patently racist; others may be evidence of insensitivity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.“What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surprise that any of this happens,”observes Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who says she hasbeen watched at shopping malls.6.The Word “valet” in the first paragraph most ly probably means ____.A. a restaurant ownerB. a driver of expensive carsC. a wealthy-looking gentlemanD. a restaurant employee taking care of the cars of the diners7.Roy Johnson was unfairly treated because ____.A.his car was inferior in qualityB.he forgot to wear proper clothesC.he failed to express himself clearlyD.he is black8.From the passage we can learn that ____.A.both blacks and whites are bewildered by racismB.examples of racism are common in the USC.some government officials have very bad memoriesD. a black man born in Harlem will be the next US president9.It is implied in the passage that many white people deny the presence of racism in the USbecause ____.A.they tend to regard instances of racism as trivial misunderstandingB.they have never seen any instance of racism in their countryC.they believe that black people are inherently less intelligent and less industriousD.they have always treated black people as their equals10.Judging from the context, the most possible explanation for Mary Frances Berry’s being watchedat shopping malls is that ____.A.she was a national celebrityB.she didn’t fit people’s idear of an Afro-American womanC.many people nowadays are insensitive and rudeD.she is blackPassage ThreeAs a century of grand retailing comes to a close, the 94-year0old “merchant prince of Teas”–who turned Neiman Marcus from a small specialty shop into one of the world’s major retail stores –says department stores today must recreate themselves if they are to survive.Marcus is worried about that customer service is being igored. He considers hoe shopping networks “a step above snake oil peddlers”. And despite all the advantages he sees in selling over the Internet, he says it is no substitute for a good salesperson.Today, as head of his own Dallas consultancy firm, Marcus is moving into the next century advocating the same philosophy he held throughout the 20th century: focus on quality and service, and sales will take care of themselves.“I’ve always believed that quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten,” says Marcus, who still makes regular visits to the flagship Neiman Marcus store in downtown Dallas, where he looks over new fashion lines, examines the latest fine imported luggage and greets young salespeople eager to talk with him. “The price of a great meal disappears from the memory, but the price of a bad one will be remembered for years. If you force a bad buy on a customer, he will never forgive you.”Marcus puts much of the blame on business schools for what he sees a lack of quality – and vitality –in department stores. He says the schools are turning out graduates who are excellent money managers and cost cutters, but who lack the skills that helped make the great stores like Macy’s, and his own, into retailing legends. The MBA programs do not teach principles of selling, principles of human understanding, principles of leadership speaking, which, he believes, is the most important thing.“I do not want ‘trained’ salespeople. The word training is the most terrible word. You train dogs and bears to do repetitive action. But with people, you educate them, because no amount of training takes the place of experience that enables them to answer all the questions that customers will ask.”11.What is the problem with department stores today?A.Neglect of customer service.B.Excessive running costs.C.Fierce challenge from the home shopping network.D.Uncompetitive prices.12.In Marcus’s view, good salespeople ____.A.will soon be replaced by the InternetB.can compete with peddlersC.ensure the success of a retailing businessD.have recreated department stores13.Which of the following is likely to be long remembered?A.Good service.B.The price of a bad buy.C.The price of a good buy.D.Good quality.14.What is the problem with MBA programs?A.Failure to teach principles of human understanding.B.Too much emphasis on cost cutting.ck of vitality.D.Neglect of strict training.15.What is the major difference between training and educating according to Marcus?A.Training is applied to animals while educating is applied to humans.B.Training is a terrible word while educating is a wonderful one.C.Training enables the trainee to imitate while educating enriches his experience.D.Training is aimed at action while educating is aimed at answering questions.Passage FourSeveral commentators and scientists have suggested that it might in some cases be ethically acceptable to clone existing people. One possibility is generating a replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual, because he or she would likely be subjected to limitations and expectations based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin.” Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior. Clone of athletes, movie stars, entrepreneurs or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also put forward the notion that couples in which one member is infertile might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy fo just one of them. Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, conventional therapeutic avenues seem more appropriate. None of the suggested uses of cloning for make copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking, because they are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.It nonetheless seems clear that cloning from cultured cells will offer important medical opportunities. Predictions about new technologies are often wrong: societal attitudes change; unexpected developments occur. Time will tell. But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.16.What is the author’s concern about cloning an existing person?A.The clone created will have one defect or another.B.The clone created will be mistreated.C.The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.D.The clone created is ethically unacceptable.17.It can be inferred from the text that a clone will ____.A.choose the same career as the person it is created fromB.behave in the same way as the person it is created fromC.share the same characteristics with the person it is created fromD.be partially similar in personality to the person it is created from18.According to the passage, one’s personality is determined by ____.A.their genesB.the environment they live inC.both their genes and the environment they live inD.neither their genes nor the environment they live in19.In the author’s view, which of the following uses of cloning is justifiable?A.To replace a lost relative.B.To help childless couples to have a baby.C.To develop tissue donors.D.To culture cells for medical purposes.20.What is the author’s attitude towards cloning technology?A.It should be condemned.B.It has medical potential for scientists to explore.C.It should wait till people’s views change.D.It was unethical from the very beginning.Part II.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One:When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples --- people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growingbusinesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B.Because it saves them a lot of money.C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.3.What can you infer from the passage?A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home FurnishingsC. Furnished ApartmentsD. A New Idea5.Young people liked renting home furniture in that _______.A. They have less money.B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.C. The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage Two:For the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development – health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme“Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.6.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise7.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises8.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.9.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of theslowest type.10.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning ofthe passage, the author means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage Three:Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings – theaters and offices as well as classrooms – are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings andreuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.11.Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it_____.A. was difficult to collectB. came in variety of formsC. was difficult to get rid of itD. tended to be absorbed by physical objects12.Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstowncampus?A. The heat is supplied by human bodiesB. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and otherheat-emitting objectsC. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuelD. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel13.At the Johnstown campus, how many of the buildings are heated entirely bythe heat collection system?A. NoneB. TwoC. FourD. Six14.According to the passage, which of the following would produce theLEAST amount of heat?A. A fat female who studies hardB. A thin female who does not studyC. A fat male who does not studyD. A thin male who studies hard15.In the last paragraph, the “hottest prospect” means the____.A. most intelligent studentB. most desirable studentC. most diligent studentD. most learned studentPassage Four：The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.16.The library resources can be helpful when we ______.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above17.Readers’ familiarity with different resources ______.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different18.The author believes that ______.A. library resources should be used frequently and completelyB. library resources cannot be made good use of if they are not available tousC. one is supposed to be aware of the library resources that are usually notavailableD. one is supposed to have good knowledge and make good use of libraryresources19.When educators wish to share some information with their colleagues, theyoften ______.A. publish it in a professional journalB. organize professional meetingsC. get access to it in the libraryD. make use of some library services20.The chapter in question mainly ______.A. deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPart III.

2020-2021学年上海同济大学第一附属中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及答案解析
2020-2021学年上海同济大学第一附属中学高三英语下学期期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABird migration is described as the regular, seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another and back again.The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide greater chances for birds to feed their young. The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round. As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding period is over, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons changing. The advantages of migration make up for the high stress, physical exertion（消耗）, and other risks of the migration.Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration. They have an increased appetite which results in weight gaining, giving them the fat reserves that provide energy for their migratory flight. They also show more activity at night, which is when most birds migrate. While the length of day is the primary reason for migration, birds also respond to temperature changes. For example, if a spring is late and the temperature is lower than normal, birds delay migration; if a spring is early, birds also begin migration early.The timing of the migratory cycle must allow birds to arrive on the breeding site so that there is time tobuild a breeding place, mate, lay the eggs, and hatch the young before the rich food is available to feed the young in the nest. Similarly, if birds wait until the climate in their northern breeding grounds becomes tolerable(可忍受的), there will be no time togain the necessary weight that provides the energy needed for their southbound migration.1. Why do birds migrate to the north in spring?A The temperature in the south has risen.B. They like traveling and enjoy the journey.C. The summer there is warmer than that in the south.D. The environment there is more suitable for them to feed their baby birds.2. What are the two factors that cause birds to migrate?A. Day length and food supply.B. Night length and high stress.C. Temperature changes and daylength.D. Food supply and temperature changes.3. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Birds' LifeB. Birds' MigrationC. Birds' Breeding HabitsD. Birds' Living EnvironmentBMasks that helped save lives during the Covid-19 pandemic（疫情）are proving a deadly risk for wildlife, with birds and sea creatures trapped in many facial coverings in animal habitats.Single-use masks have been found on the ground, waterways and beaches worldwide since countries required（heir use in public places to slow the pandemic's spread. Worn once, the thin protective materials can take hundreds of years to break down. "Face masks aren't going away any time soon-but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals who share our planet," Ashley from anima! rights group PETA said.Monkeys have been found playing with used masks in the hills outsideMalaysia's capitalKuala Lumpur. And in an incident inBritain, a seagull was saved inChelmsfordafter its legs got caught in an abandoned mask for a week.However, the biggest influence is in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the world's oceans last year, accounting for around 6200 extra tons of ocean plastic pollution, according to environmental group OceansAsia. “Masks and gloves are particularlyproblematicfor sea creatures," says George Leonard, chief scientist from NGO. "When those plastics break down in the environment, they form smaller and smaller particles （颗粒）.Those particles then enter the food chain and influence the entire ecosystem,“ he added.Campaigners have urged people to deal with masks properly after using them. OceansAsia has also called on governments to increase punishment for littering and encourage the use of washable masks.4. What bring（s）a great danger to wildlife now?A. Waste masks.B. Covid-19.C. Polluted water.D. Damaged habitats.5. What does the underlined word “problematic”in paragraph 4 mean?A. Important.B. Attractive.C. Common.D. Troubling.6. What can we infer from the text?A. Monkeys learned to wear masks from humans.B. Plastics are less harmful after becoming particles.C. Used masks have a worse effect on sea creatures.D.

A newly-published review of decades of kindness research provides some answers.In this paper, researchers analyzed the results from 126 research articles looking at almost 200, 000 participants from around the world. The studies they chose measured well-being in various ways, including both mental and physical health. Some were experiments, where people did a kindness practice to observe its effects, while others just surveyed people about how kind and happy they were.As expected, people who were kind tended to have higher well-being. Lead researcher Bryant Hui wasastoundedthat the relationship wasn't stronger than it was, but he was still encouraged by the results.One thing Hui and his colleagues found was that people who performed random, informal acts of kindness, like bringing a meal to a sad friend, tended to be happier than people who performed more formal acts of kindness, like volunteering in a soup kitchen.The researchers also found that people who were kind tended to be higher in "eudaimonic happiness"(a sense of meaning and purpose in life) more than "hedonic happiness"(a sense of pleasure and comfort). Perhaps this makes sense, given that being kind takes effort, which reduces comfort but could make people feel better about themselves and their abilities, which would provide a sense of meaning.Being kind came with greater eudaimonic happiness for women than for men, too. According to Hui, this could be because, in many cultures, women are expected to be kinder than men; so, they may have more to gainfrom it. And younger participants experienced more happiness when they were kind than older participants, perhaps for developmental reasons, he says.Hui isn't sure why acting kind might have these different effects on different groups, but he points to theories put forth by researcher Elizabeth Midlarsky: Being kind may make us feel better about ourselves as a person or about the meaning of our lives, help us forget our own troubles and stresses, or help us be more socially-connected with others.8. What does the data in the second paragraph intend to show?A. The recent paper is worthy of being read.B. The recent paper gives convincing results.C. Kindness is always a hot topic of research.D. Kindness is closely linked to one's well-being.9. What does the underlined word "astounded" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Afraid.B. Certain.C. Excited.D. Surprised.10. Which of the following acts of kindness can make one feel happier according to paragraph 4?A. Volunteering in a hospital.B. Cleaning a community.C. Returning a lost item to its owner.D. Collecting donations for the poor.11. What do the researchers find from the paper?A. Being kind has different effects on different groups.B. Eudaimonic happiness makes people feel comfort.C. The younger experienced more happiness than the older.D. Female participants are kinder than male ones.DIn Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.12. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _________.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers13. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. They don’t want to lose their retirement benefits.B. They are not adaptable people.C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. They get used to the teamwork.14. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twiceB. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workersC. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexibleD. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system15. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

You can use this checklist to find a fantastic Vienna concert that is worth its money.Vienna Chamber OrchestraThe Vienna Chamber Orchestra has existed for more than 70 years. The international reputation of the Vienna Chamber Orchestra is documented by worldwide tours. The length is 65 minutes.Date: 20th JuneLocation: Minoritenkirehe, Minoritenplatz 1, 1010 ViennaTickets: 30 Euros per adult and free admission for childrenVienna Philharmonic OrchestraIn 2021, famous conductor Gustavo Dudamel will lead the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

In simple but elegant surroundings, international pianists perform Mozart piano sonatas on a Steinway piano. The concerts start in the early evening and last 90 minutes.Date: throughout the yearLocation: St. Peter’s basement, Petersplatz 1, 1010 ViennaTickets: 29 Euros for adults and 16 Euros for children between 8 and 14（children below 8 can enterfor free.）Vivaldi: The Four SeasonsTo point out Vivaldi’s connection to Vienna, the Italian violinist lived in the city for some time, and eventually died there. Closer to where he was buried, the church St. Charles Borromeo regularly stages The Four Seasons, Vivaldi’s main work. The concerts start at 8:15 pm on weekends and last 60 minutes. People can arrive and enter anytime during the performance.Date: throughout the yearLocation: Church St. Charles Borromeo（Karlskirche）, Kreuzherrengase 1, 1040 ViennaTickets: 25 Euros for all ages（free cancellation 24 hours before the event）1.For a couple with their 10-year-old child, which is the cheapest?A.Mozart Piano Sonatas.B.Vienna Chamber Orchestra.C.Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.D.Vienna PhilharmonicOrchestra.2.What do the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Mozart Piano Sonatas have in common?A.They last one and a half hours.B.They are held in closed surroundings.C.They offer a discount for students and the aged.D.They are suitable for people who prefer pop music.3.What can we know about the concert—The Four Seasons?A.It forbids people to enter after 8:15 pm.B.It describes Vivaldi’s stories related to Vienna.C.It allows you to return your ticket for free a day in advance.D.It was created by the Church St. Charles Borromeo to memorize Vivaldi.BThe history of the flying car is almost as old as that of powered flight itself. It started with the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, an awkward-looking machine with removable wings. It never left the ground. Later machines made it into the skies but failed to take off commercially. Money is now pouring into flying taxis. On March 30th Lilium, a German company that develops them, announced a merger with SPAC, an acquisition company that values it at $3. 3 bn -- a sign that investors think the business will fly.Thanks to better batteries and lightweight materials, some of them are ready to carry passengers. Up to 300 firms are working on short-range battery-powered craft that take off and land vertically. Carmakers, tech companies and others are investing money into the field. The government isoffering a glide pathtocertification.America's Federal Aviation Administration is engaged in the process with around 30 firms, says Natasha Santha of LEK, a consulting company.Midway between a cab and a helicopter, flying taxis have distinct advantages over both. Quiet electric motors allow them to operate frequent services. They require only a patch of concrete to land, unlike noisy helicopters, which face severe operating restrictions in most cities. They can fly four or five times faster than a cab can drive and do not get stuck in traffic. Prices can be kept low by ride-sharing. Joby, based inCalifornia, says its five-seater machine will enter commercial service in 2024. The firm calculates the initial cost of around $4 per person per mile may soon fall by 25%. A trip fromManhattanto JFK airport would then cost $30-40 per passenger.The real revolution will come when full autonomy takes out the cost of a pilot. Archer hopes to run such aircraft by 2028. They face fewer obstacles in the air than earth-bound cars do on the road; airliners mostly fly on autopilot as it is. Still, as one industry insider puts it, it is probably best to accustom passengers and regulators to airborne taxis before getting rid of the driver.4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The flying car can date back to the 1920s.B. Investors see the potential of the business of the flying car.C. The flying car never left the ground successfully in history.D. A German company has launched a new flying car into the market.5. What does "offering a glide path" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Giving the green light.B. Providing timely assistance.C. Presenting legal guidance.D. Conducting strict management.6. Which of the following is the strength of flying taxis?A. Costing as little as cabs.B. Saving passengers from the traffic jam.C. Reducing air pollution.D. Having no operating restrictions.7. What can be inferred about the flying taxis from the last paragraph?A. They will develop faster than cars.B. Passengers will quickly get used to taking them.C. The regulators will take measures to promote them.D. Autopilot flying taxis will probably replace those with pilots.CItzhak Perlman was born in Tel Aviv, in whatwas thenPalestine, in 1945. Today he lives inNew York City. But hismusic has made him a citizen of the world. He has played in almost every major city. He has won many Grammy awards for his recordings. He has also won Emmy Awards for his work on television.Itzhak Perlman suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) at the age of four. The disease damaged his legs. He uses a wheelchair or walks with the aid of crutches (拐杖) on his arms. But none of this stopped him from playing the violin. He began as a young child. He took his first lessons at the Music Academy of Tel Aviv. Very quickly, his teachers recognized that he had a special gift.At thirteen he went to the United Sates to appear on television. His playing earned him the financial aid to attend theJuilliardSchoolinNew York. In 1964 Itzhak Perlman won the Leventritt Competition in that city. His international fame had begun.His music is full of power and strength. It can be sad or joyful, loud or soft. But critics (评论家) say it is not the music alone that makes his playing so special. They say he is able to communicate the joy he feels in playing, and the emotions that great music can deliver.Anyone who has attended a performance by Itzhak Perlman will tell you thatit is exciting to watch him play. His face changes as the music from his violin changes. He looks sad when the music seems sad. He smiles and closes his eyes when the music is light and happy. He often looks dark and threatening when the music seems dark and threatening.8. According to the passage, what do we know about Itzhak Perlman?A. He is 75 years old today.B. He was born inNew York City.C. He has some achievements in music.D. He was a rich citizen of the world.9.

Excited.DDepression（抑郁症）in young adult males, ages 18 or 19, is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age, according to a new Swedish study.The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience（抗压能力）and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.Theresearch included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence（青春期）and were then followed into middle age（up to the age of 58 years）. A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed（诊断）with a mental disorder.The study found thata mental disorder in young adulthond was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle age. Compared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood，the risk of heart attack was 20%higher among men with a diagnosis.“We already knew that menwho were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience” said study author Dr. Bergh, “Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior, such as higher risks of smoking, drinking and other drug use.”“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease, particularly if people stay fit as they age. Physical activities may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress. Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.12. How does the author develop paragraph 3?A. By giving examples.B. By listing figures.C. By making a comparison.D. By drawing a conclusion.13. What are men with low stress resilience likely to do?A. Smoke more.B. Eat more.C. Sleep less.D. Do less exercise.14. What will Bergh agree with according to the last paragraph?A. Physical activitiesadd to stress.B. Stress may cause heart disease.C. Taking exercise is unnecessary.D. Staying fit is of great importance.15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Fashion.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BIf our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.4. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.5. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.6. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea7. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My LifeCYou’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part ofVon Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all atonce.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.8. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D. Reducing garbage on the beach.9. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.10. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDSusan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.“I reinvent myself every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age.

She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journal and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”12. What's Dr Susan's opinion on age?A. Age cannot be hidden.B. Age is a state of mind.C. Every age has its pains and sorrows.D. Old age is not suitable for further study.13.

2021年上海同济大学附属存志学校高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案
2021年上海同济大学附属存志学校高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you are sending a text message watching TV or listening to the radio, you may stop and give this your full attention. Multitasking shrinks (使.....萎缩)the brain? research suggests.A study found that men and womenwho frequently used several types of technology at the same time had less grey matter in a key part of the brain. University of Sussex researchers said, " Using mobile phones, laptops and other media devicessimultaneouslycould be changing the structure of our brains."Worryingly, the part of the brain that shrinks is involved in processing emotion. The finding follows research which has linked multitasking with a shortened attention span, depression , anxiety and lower grades at school.The researchers began by asking 75 healthy men and women how often they divided their attention between different types of technology. This could mean sending a text message while listening to music and checking e-mail, or speaking on the phone while watching TV and surfing the Internet. The volunteers were then given brain scans which showed they had less grey matter in a region called the anterior cingu-late cortex (ACC)(前扣带皮层).Scientists have proved that brain structure can be changed on exposure to fresh environments and experience.Other studies have shown that training—such as learning to play magic tricks or taxi drivers' learning the map of London―can increase grey matter densities (密度)in certain parts.Experts have also warned of the harmful impact technology can have on our memory and attention span. The University of California team conducted a survey of more than 18,000 people aged between 18 and 99，and found 20%had problems with memory. Researchers were shocked greatly by the 14 % of 18 to 39-year-old people who also worried about their memories.Multitasking may shorten attention span, making it harder to focus and form memories, the researchers said, adding that youngsters may be particularly affected by stress.1. The underlined word " simultaneously" in Paragraph 2 means "________，"A. on one's ownB. at no timeC. at the same timeD. by accident2. All of the following are possible effects of multitasking EXCEPT________ .A. saving timeB. a shortened attention spanC. lower grades at schoolD. depression and anxiety3. Which ofthe following can be the best title of this passage?A. Media multitasking is becoming more popularB. Multitasking shrinks the brainC. Multitasking may shorten attention spanD. People are worried about their memories.BThere will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans by 2050. That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.4. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A. To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.B. To warn people against the ocean pollution.C. To clarify the seriousness of the problem.D. To point out some details of the report.5. Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?A. There is too much of it.B. It poisons the ocean water.C. It is from different sources.D. It is hard to break down.6. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?A. Pessimistic.B. Curious.C. Unconcerned.D. Terrified.7. What can we infer from the text?A. People are not aware of the problem.B. Recycling is limited by lack of technology.C. Plastic packaging has become part of our life.D. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.CHi, Momis a hit inChina. Since its release in early February the movie has earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office. It is currently the second-highest-grossing film ever released in the country, and may yet overtakeWolf Worrior2, an action film from 2017.Written and directed by Jia Ling, the film is adapted from her comedy routine from 2016 which explored her relationship with her mother, who died in an accident when Ms. Jia was 19.

Not only is the American rock group his favorite band, it was also his first ever concert.Taylor's mother, Nikki Hooper, says that she and her husband have always been huge fans of the Foo Fighters.

So when the band played in their home city, they decided it was finally time for their son to see their beloved rock and rockers in concert.“He's been listening to them since he was born — mainly because his dad and I are super fans.” Mrs Hooper told BBC. “We called the event organizers and they said it would be no problem, but that we should know it would be a loud music event, so we gotTaylorsome special headphones. When we got there everyone was so welcoming to him.”Throughout the show, the audience continuously madeTaylorand his parents move closer to the stage. Furthermore, Mrs. Hooper helped her son stand out from the crowd by making him a sign that said he was a 5-year-old attending his first concert.When Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl finally saw the sign and read it aloud into the microphone, the crowd began chanting for them to bring the youngster onto the stage. That's exactly what he did. When the stagemanagers brought the boy to the stage, Grohl asked Taylor to show the crowd how to dance．The small boy then danced to the whole song, making him an “Inter net wonder”.Taylordidn't just walk away from the show with memories, either;the band also invited him backstage to give him a number of gifts, includinga pair of Taylor Hawkins's drumsticks.12.

2019-2020学年上海同济大学第一附属中学高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案
2019-2020学年上海同济大学第一附属中学高三英语下学期期末考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AElectric Shocks Can Be FatalGovernment statistics recently showed that in theUK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their homes. A smaller number of people are killed after they touch the power lines outside their homes. Electric shocks can cause a person's heart or breath to stop and are potentially fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic techniques to deal with such emergencies.What to do?● If you are the first person to reach someone who has an electric shock, don't touch him or her!● If the victim is still holding the appliance that gives him or her the shock (e.g. a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source.Under no circumstances can you try to move the appliance with your hands!● Ifyou can't turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to separate the victim from the appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.● The victim must remain lying down. If he or she isunconscious, the victim should be placed on his or her side. But he or she should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is ly necessary.● It is essential to maintain the victim's body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸). Keep the victim's head low until professional help arrives.● If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the dangers to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.1. What kind of passage is it?A. An advertisement.B. A horror story.C. A news report.D. First aid emergency advice.2. The underlined sentence implies that ________.A. you should move the applianceB. you should pick up the appliance and turn off the electricityC. it is very dangerous to touch the appliance with your handsD. it is unnecessary to unplug the appliance with your hands3. When a person has got an electric shock, you should ________.A. separate the victim from the appliance and let him sit upB. keep the victim warm and help him or her breathe againC. move the victim onto his or her side if he or she has got neck injuriesD. keep the victim's head high until professional help arrivesBDid you know people who live in different parts ofChinahave different habits and preferences? For example, people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables, while people from northChinalike to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations (变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers fromChina’s BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities (免疫力) to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. Malaria was once quite common in southernChina. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population.4. What did the new study focus on?A. Regions.B. Eating habits.C. Gene variations.D. Ethnic minority groups.5. What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A. It helps store fat.B. It helps digest meat.C. It helps gain weight.D. It helps treat an illness.6. According to the study, most northerners ________.A. sweat less frequentlyB. are immune to malariaC. prefer vegetables to meatD. are more sensitive to climates7. How many differences did the study find related to genes?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.CIf you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. Ifyou have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done inAntarctica.Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested?8. What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs?A. They will land on Mars in 2023.B. They can get money from donors.C. They will compete in a TV show.D. They do not need special skills.9. What will the first colonists do to solve the basic living problems on Mars?A. Create earth-like conditions.B. Build labs inAntarctica.C. Spin the spaceship.D. Start the Mars500Mission.10. What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage?A. Difficult and dangerous.B. Different but adaptable.C. Challenging and unbearable .D. Acceptable but depressing.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. Mars: our final destination?B. Ready to be Mars’ colonists?C. Space travel: a thrilling adventure?D. Are you a qualified Mars astronaut?DChinese archaeologists（考古学家）announced on Saturday that some new major discoveries have been made at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China, helping uncover another start of the Chinese civilization.Archaeologists have found six new sacrificial pits（祭祀坑）and unearthed more than 500 treasures dating back 3,000 years at the Sanxingdui Ruins in Sichuan Province. So far, archaeologists have unearthed masses of important cultural items from four of the pits, including pieces of gold masks, gold foil, bronze（青铜）masks, bronze trees and large numbers of ivories. The rest of the newly discovered pits arc still being dug up.“Surprisingly, we have unearthed some never — heard — of — before bronze items," said Lei Yu, from the Sichuan Archaeology Research Institute. 'Tor instance, some large and well-made bronze items have strange-looking dragon or cow designs on them.”In another major discovery, relics of silk products were found for the first time at Sanxingdui, which shows “the ancient Shu Kingdom was one of the important starts of silk in ancient China" according to Tang Fei, head ofthe digging team.The new pits sit next to two sacrificial pits discovered in 1986, with areas ranging between 3o square meters and 19 square meters. Together they form an area in which people of the ancient Shu civilization held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and their forefathers, and prayed for good luck and peace.The Sanxingdui Ruins is regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of mankind in the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer in the 1920s. The ruins are located in the city ofGuanghan, about 60 kilometers fromChengduand are believed to be the relics of theShuKingdom.12. What can we learn from the text?A. Totally there are 500 treasures unearthed.B. Six new sacrificial pits are under repair.C. The unearthed treasures date from 3000 years ago.D. There are six sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui.13. What does the discovery of the relics of silk products mean?A. Chinese civilization was widely influential.B.AncientShuKingdomwas also the home of silk.C. Chinese silk has a much longer history than known.D.ShuKingdombelonged toChinasince ancient times.14. What was the main function of the sacrificial pits?A. To celebrate festivals.B. To store valuable items.C. To bury important figures.D. To hold sacrifice ceremonies.15. Who first discovered the Sanxingdui Ruins?A. A farmer.B. Lei YuC. Tang Fei.D. Archaeologists.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素)，which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!4.

The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.8. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B. It contributes to problem-solving.C. It reduces the possibility of crises.D. It deepens understanding of music.9. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A.

Engaging them in a conversation.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How COVID-19 changes artB. Essentials of Symphony No. 9C. Moving artfully through crisesD. Joy in the eyes of BeethovenDWhat is the secret of happiness? A new study finds that happiness comes from exercise. People who exercise actively bring themselves happiness equal to earning an extra $25,000 ayear.Instead of recording extra hours at work in hopes of getting a raise, maybe you should hit the gym instead, as it could make you just as happy as that extra money. An interesting new study, published in the Lancet, found that people who are physically active have a greater sense of well—being than those who are inactive-and that active individuals feel as good as inactive people who earn $ 25,000 more per year.Researchers from Oxford and Yale Universities used data gathered from more than 1.2milion Americans. They were asked, “How many times have you felt mentally unwell in the past30 days. for example, due to stress, depression, or emotional problems?” Participants were also asked about their exercise habits and were able to choose from 75 diverse physical activities, including doing housework and childcare, running, weightlifting, andcycling. The researchers found that people who exercise regularly feel bad for an average of 35 days per year, while inactive people feel bad for an additional 18 days.All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden. Social physical activities（that is to say, team sports such as football, basketball, etc）had an even more positive effect, which can best help people relax mind.It is possible for some to get too much exercise. From Business Insider'sreport on the study. “The mental health of those participants who exercised for longer than three hours a day suffered more than that of those who weren't particularly physically active.” The ideal amount seems to be three to five training sessions per week. lasting 30 to 60 minutes each.But the conclusion should be that any amount helps, so don't stress about hitting that perfect balance: “All exercise types were associated with a lower mental health burden than not exercising.”12. The question asked in Paragraph one is meant to ______.A. introduce the researchersB. tell the secretC. draw a conclusionD. lead to the topic13. Which exercise below can help us relax mind most effectively?A. RunningB. Walking alone.C. Playing footballD. Keeping fit in the gym.14. According to the passage, the following are true EXCEPT that ______.A. people who exercise actively may feel bad for about 35 days per year.B. The more exercise you take, the higher mental health burden you will get.C. overdoing exercising will do harm to people's mental health.D. doing exercise is better than not doing it.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Exercise can bring as much pleasure as an income rise.B. The secret of happiness has nothing to do with wealth.C. Choosing the right form of exercise is of vital importance.D. The key to keep young is to exercise regularly.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”4. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.5. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans6. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.7. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animalsCWhen I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clearand commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.8. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.9. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.10. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.11. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.DIt was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate nickname "toilet bowl" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons (公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It'sone that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight against humanity's waste.There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans.12. Why did people call Manila Bay beach“toilet bowl” ?A. It looked like a huge bowl.B. There were plenty of toilets.C. It was covered by rubbish.D. People loved the toilets here.13. What does the underlined phrase“descended on”in paragraph 2 mean?A.

The benefits to their homeland.B. The desire to make a difference.C. The chance to escape ocean pollution.D. The experience with a digital currency.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Online system helps endocean pollution.B. Manila Bay beach is suddenly removed.C. Plastic Bank is powerful in recycling waste.D. Philippines make a great amount of waste.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
