W: Professor Smith explained the Physics problem very clearly,M: Did he? Unfortunately, it's still all Greek to meQ: what can we learn from the conversation?Section B:Passage I;With a fascinating past and more than four centuries of history, St Augustine is one of the nation’s oldest cities--- and an American treasure. Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, it is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views.In 1513, while looking for the storied Fountain of Youth, explorer Juan Ponce de leon found this land and claimed it for Spain Then, in 1563, a Spanish conqueror established a settlement here and named it St, Augustine. Except for a 20-year period of English rule, Florida remained underSpanish rule until the united States took control in 182 I.In the years after its founding, the city St. Augustine was attacked by the French and English, and by Native Americans, who are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city's defensive building, setting it on fire. More recently, nature has stricken the region with successive hurricanes--- Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still, St. Augustine endures. As the region recovers, visitors shouldn't overlook it.St. Augustine has suffered much in its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come and perhaps support the Florida coast's recovery while discovering its centuries of history and miles of coastal beauty .11. Which country first governed Florida in history?12 Which of the following statements is true about St, Augustine?13 What is the passage mainly about?Passage 2:Transport for London has a lost property office which collects the items left behind as people flow through the city's transport system each day. It is the biggest lost property office in Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo's. Sixty-five staff sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which is run by Paul Cowan. According to the latest data, Cowan's team dealt with over three hundred thousand items in the first quarter of the year. As the data reveals, very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly 13, 000 keys handed into lost property last year, just under I, 400 were returned to their owners, says Cowan. Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within three month. After that time, stock becomes the property of transport for London, and it's not necessarily the items you'd expect, A wander through the three-basement floor that make up the lost property office gives us an idea of what we value enough to recover and what we're happy to let go. Cowan has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said, if you have one shoe, you are more likely to go looking for the other. If you lose two shoes. well. it's slightly out of sight. out of mind. He guesses many people regard loss as an opportunity t0 treat themselves to something new.14.What is the passage main about?15. Which of the following is true of the lost item?16. According to Cowan, why don't some people get their lost shoes back?完形填空When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, they don't drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates. Rather, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or talking about books.They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into adulthood. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U,S. who have a driver's license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous decreases in the past decade.The declines appeared across race. Geographic and socioeconomic lines, and in rural,urban, and suburban areas.To be sure. more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the majorities have slimmed considerably. Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date: between 2010 and 2015 only 63 percent had, the study found."People say, 'Oh, it's because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring' but they re missing the larger trend," said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less interested in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today's society they no longer need to.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's "life strategy" slows down or speeds up depending on his or her surroundings exposure to a "harsh and unpredictable" environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has the opposite effect, the study said. In the first scenario. "You'd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode. start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more diseases and fewer resources," said Twenge, a psychology professor at SanDiego State University who is the author of "iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious. More Tolerant. Less Happy--and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood."A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less prevalent, "the goal back then was survival, not violin lessons by 5." Twenge said.In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more seriously about marriage. and driving a car and working for pay would be important for "establishing mate value based on procurement of resources," the study said.But America is shifting more toward the slower model, and the change is apparent across-the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. "Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education... families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully nurtured has really sunk in."The postponement of"adult activities" could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurricular as they did in the 1990s (with the exception of community service. which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smart phones and the Internet be entirely the cause, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available.部分填词: rather/ adulthood/ decreases/ options/ majorities/ missing/ interested in/surrounded/ opposite/ case/ diseases/ seriously/ carefully/ slower/ educated/ postponement/ cause阅读理解AApparently. the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank -- or a specific country -- is appealing to many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and bartering w as common (In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like the Buy Nothing Project)In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there. So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring hybrid of gold and silver called electrum, objects other than coins have served as currency,including beads, ivory. livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa. bracelets of bronze or copper were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there.Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used in lieu of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively throughout Europe and the U.K.Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency - and some people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination.On Malaita, the most-populated island that's part of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods"How much tuna you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape." Mary Bruno,a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita, told Vice.e "One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but the red ones are worth more. For the red ones,one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time."Just like a mint that creates coins, there's only one place on the island where the shells,which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. (You can see how that works in the video above.) The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from LangaLanga Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling cannibals. Once marooned out on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born.Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s, but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like cryptocurrencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. 1t might seem strange to hoard a bunch of processed, strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? Just a specially printed piece of paper and hemp that we' ve assigned value to and probably less durable over time than those shells.BHow do you move a giant Sequoia?Boise, Idaho, recently relocated a century-old, living tree provided by John Muir.Inhabitants of Boise, Idaho, watched with trepidation earlier this year as the city's oldest, tallest resident moved two blocks. The l05-year-old sequoia tree serves as a local landmark, not only for its longevity but also because renowned naturalist and Sienra Club co-founder John Muir provided the original seedling. So, when Saint Luke's Health System found that the 10-story-tallconifer stood in the way of its planned hospital expansion, officials called tree-moving firm Environmental Design.The Texas-based company has developed and patented scooping and lifting technology to move massive trees. Weighing in at more than 800,000 pounds, the Boise sequoia is its largest undertaking yet. “I had lost enough sleep over this," says David Cox, the company's Western region vice president- and that was before the hospital mentioned the tree's distinguished origin.Before the heavy lifting began, the team assessed the root system and dug a five-foot-deep cylinder, measuring 40 feet in diameter, around the trunk to protect all essential roots, After encapsulating the root ball in wire mesh, the movers allowed the tree to acclimate to its new situation for seven months before relocating it. The illustration details what followed.CThe budget line is an elementary concept that most consumers understand intuitively without a need for graphs and equations -- it's the household budget, for example.Taken informally, the budget line describes the boundary of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.One of the interesting ways the study of economics relates to human behavior generally is that a lot of economic theory is the formalization of the kind of simple concept outlined above --a consumer's informal understanding of the amount she has to spend and what that amount will buy.In the process of formalization, the concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation that can be applied generally.To understand this, think of a graph where the vertical lines quantify how many movie tickets you can buy and where the horizontal lines do the same for crime novels. You like going to the movies and reading crime novels and you have $150 to spend. In the example below, assume that each movie costs $ 10 and each crime novel costs $15. The more formal economics term for these two items is budget set.If movies cost $10 each, then the maximum number of movies you can see with the money available is 15. To note this you make a dot at the number 15 (for total movie tickets) at the extreme left-hand side of the chart. This same dot appears at the extreme left above "O" on the horizontal axis because you have no money left for books -- the number of books available in this example is 0.You can also graph the other extreme -- all crime novels and no movies. Since crime novels in the example cost $15 and you have $150 available, if you spend all the available money crime novels, you can buy 10. So you put a dot on the horizontal axis at the number 10.You'll place the dot at the bottom of the vertical axis because in this instance you have $0available for movie tickets.If you now draw a line from the highest, leftmost dot to the lowest, rightmost dot you'll have created a budget line. Any combination of movies and crime novels that falls below the budget line is affordable. Any combination above it is not.六选四文章网址;/Magazine_articles%3A_More_valuable_than_you_may_think.html 翻译部分:1. 他们中的哪一个可能做过排球教练?参考译文:Who may have been a volleyball coach among them?2.我看到他换上徒步鞋,走向了草坪。

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world’s supply of water. With 97% of the world’s w ater too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world’s agricultural industries experience constant water shortages. Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉). In Texas, farmers’ overuse of irrgation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed. Saudi Arabia’s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pu mping o f huge quantities of irrigation water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas, such reserves can only decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.1. From the first two paragraphs we learn that .A. much of the world’s water is available for useB. people in high rainfall countries feel luckyC. the costs of water redistribution should be consideredD. water can be easily carried through pipes across the world2. Which of the following is true?A. The water stores in Texas have been reduced by 75%.B. Most industries in the world suffer from water shortages.C. The underground water in Saudi Arabia might run out in 50 years.D. Good management of water use resulted from the project in the Central Valley.3. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. Steps to improving water use management.B. Ways to reduce the costs of building dams.C. Measures to deal with worldwide water shortages.D. Approaches to handling the pressure on water supply.4. The text is mainly about .A. water supply and increasing populationB. water use management and agricultureC. water redistribution and wildlife protectionD. water shortages and environmental protection【参考答案】1-4 CCAB【吉林省九校联合体2020高考英语二模试题】完形填空。

完形填空Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a deserted place. Though lying just a few miles from the city of Manchester, it feels remote. There is generally a strong wind blowing across the moor! It seemed almost ___1___to me, then, that anyone should be against the building of seven wind turbines (风力发电机)to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them---basically dull, unattractive to tourists and--- ___2___---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another ___3___in an increasingly confusing debate over wind farming and the future of the planet.Typical of this ___4___ is hearing Professor David Bellamy leading the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist and had made the___5___ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, ___6___, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist whose main aim is to preserve natural space for plants and animals from destruction, rather than a campaigner on climate change.Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued that the wind farms are in fact ___7___, and are only commercially feasible because they are so heavily subsidized (补贴). This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently, who have then gone on to___8___ the virtues of nuclear power. This is in the face of years of protests from greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and ___9___. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ___10___ by a leading green scientist, Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problems of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.But of course, it is ___11___to imagine that the good people of Saddleworth would prefer to see a nuclear power station on their doorstep rather than seven wind turbines. On average it takes six years to get planning permission for nuclear plants because of the inevitable protest. So what's the ___12___?Bellamy suggests reducing ___13___of fossil fuels if people want to control greenhouse gases. Certainly, he has much support for this from environmentalists. However, just a few years ago, the government was forced to ___14___ increases in taxes on petrol (汽油)because of a huge public outcry which saw the country almost brought to a stop. And at the heart of those protestswere those who said they ___15___ their cars and were being fairly punished by high fuel taxes. These same people reject wind farms because they see the turbines as something that spoils the countryside.1.A.clear B.odd C.important D.satisfactory 2.A.at last B.in other words C.above all D.as a matter of fact 3.A.battleground B.phenomenon C.experience D.dominance 4.A.energy B.production C.tourism D.confusion 5.A.basic B.widespread C.false D.realistic 6.A.on average B.on reflection C.in particular D.in detail 7.A.necessary B.outdated C.uneconomic D.public 8.A.forget B.question C.develop D.praise 9.A.clean B.safe C.irresistible D.dangerous 10.A.doubted B.advocated C.proved D.ignored 11.A.depressing B.possible C.difficult D.adequate 12.A.answer B.matter C.point D.cause 13.A.waste B.consumption C.price D.recycling 14.A.end B.mark C.consider D.sustain 15.A.relied on B.gave up C.made for D.picked out When it comes to anxiety over online data privacy, the first and most common legal solution comes to mind: more transparency. If firms are required to tell people what information they collect, and do so in a simple and obvious manner, people would be able to _____16_____ doing business with those that adopt abusive privacy practices.There is one _____17_____ with the transparency solution. There is no evidence that it works! (And there are mountains of evidence that it fails.) Even when the information people are asked to share is highly private and _____18_____, and even if the notices about the ways firms collect, use and share this information are delivered in the simplest and most concise manner, people still don’t read the notices and don’t change their _____19_____. A recent experiment tried to deliver the privacy notices to users in the format of a simple “nutrition facts” box, to no avail. The notice still went _____20_____ and people shared the same amount of sensitive personal information as they do when the notices are long and cluttered.If simple notices are not read or used by people, the hopes for _____21_____ choice flee. Users are not going to _____22_____ Google’s personalized ads or to personalize the Facebook’s privacy setting. These consumers might comparison-shop among services based on various quality and service measures, but not on the basis of _____23_____ features.It is also important to dispel a second perceived solution to privacy _____24_____: lawsuits. There are numerous class action lawsuits percolating in courts, alleging violations by websites of privacy statutes. Google,______25______, has long been defending against the complaints that its Gmail service, which scans the text of its users’ emails, is a violation of the Wiretap Act (窃听法). Many of these lawsuits eventually fail because they cannot prove a ______26______ injury. But even the few that succeed are not going to change the behavior of firms. They will only teach firms to write more ______27______ privacy notices and require more frequent clicks “I Agree” from users.A third legal solution fueled by privacy anxiety is the “right to be forgotten”. It gives users the right to request search engines to ______28______ links to personal information that are no longer accurate or relevant. Viewed by its ______29______ as a major landmark in privacy protection, the right to be forgotten mandate is ultimately proving to be a storm in a tea cup. In one year, Google reported to have received only 218,000 requests (or which it granted about half). Only a minor number of users are ______30______ sensitive to privacy issues to exercise the cherished right.16.A.avoid B.advise C.favor D.admit 17.A.proof B.problem C.possibility D.purpose 18.A.detailed B.sensitive C.adequate D.effective 19.A.mind B.decision C.behavior D.direction 20.A.invalid B.wrong C.round D.unread 21.A.preferred B.accepted C.informed D.obliged 22.A.opt out of B.make up for C.look forward to D.put up with 23.A.privacy B.advertising C.designer D.specific 24.A.policies B.protection C.risks D.terms25.A.by contrast B.in particular C.on average D.for example 26.A.severe B.fatal C.concrete D.external27.A.informal B.comprehensive C.informative D.unavailable 28.A.start B.attach C.remove D.build 29.A.initials B.advocates C.appeals D.motivates 30.A.sufficiently B.extremely C.comparatively D.appropriately Artificial intelligence (AI) has amazing potential to change the world, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. As AI matures and people move further away from distinct programming and monitoring of systems, unidentified bias (偏见) might make decisions continue for a long time that cause ___31___ harm for individuals and society. This bias might ___32___ input data or even the algorithms (算法) themselves.All too often, data sets are incomplete and the sample represented in the data set does not___33___the population that the AI model is making predictions about—this is known as coverage bias. Some other types of bias related to input data include sampling bias, where data is not collected randomly from the target group, and participation bias, where users from certain groups ___34___ surveys at different rates than users from other groups. Still, another more challenging bias to identify is confirmation bias that occurs when a decision maker or analyst has a strong ___35___ belief or experience that affects their ability to consider alternatives. This could lead one to more strongly ___36___ data that confirms a preexisting belief.Bias resulting from AI algorithms themselves, or algorithmic bias, is equally ___37___. One example of algorithmic bias is implicit bias or unconscious bias, where data scientists ___38___ make associations or assumptions based on their mental models and memories that affect data modeling decisions. Implicit bias can ___39___ how data is collected and classified, or how systems are designed and developed. As machines learn, their conclusions and decisions affect people. Ethical (道德的) AI must understand these impacts and create governance and testing methods to ___40___ mistakes and inaccuracies.To create ethical AI, companies need to put the ___41___ of the individual at the center of data innovation. This means thinking about ___42___ rights as human rights and developing a comprehensive approach to data, including how we use AI.Having ___43___ data practices for AI means having good AI governance.

The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.“I would think that wherever there’s energy that can be exploited by microorganisms,____61____ find(s) a way.” says Tina Treude at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. “The only way to find out is to go back and ____62____ deeper,” she says, though in lab experiments so far, no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C.The researchers were also able to ____63____ out and count cells using a special device. Together, the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures, but those that do have very high metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates. “It was astonishingly high,” says Treude.This surprised the team because it is the ____64____ of what has been found in shallower sediments, where it is much colder. Microbes are ____65____ there, but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years. At 120°C, the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells, so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage. It is a(n) ____66____ to stay alive, says Treude.It isn’t clear what these heat-loving, or thermophilic, microbes are, as the team was unable to ____67____ their DNA.Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments, given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first ____68____.However, a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited, and they may have somehow ____69____ until temperatures began to rise due to being _____70_____ under more material, says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University inDenmark.As the temperatures rose, all the microbes that weren’t _____71_____ of heat would gradually have died off, says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. “The microbes that cannot _____72_____, they just die,” he says.Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are _____73_____ results showing microbe growth at 106°C, nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C.“It’s very difficult to _____74_____ the upper temperature limit,” he says.He is therefore _____75_____ of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C, but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures. 61.A.life B.energy C.bacteria D.voyage 62.A.think B.research C.practise D.drill 63.A.spread B.figure C.separate D.reach 64.A.opposite B.evidence C.coincidence D.resemblance 65.A.moderate B.existent C.swift D.plentiful 66.A.game B.approach C.race D.solution 67.A.explode B.identify C.locate D.attack 68.A.formed B.deposited C.tagged D.covered 69.A.stuck on B.moved away C.died off D.run out 70.A.exposed B.removed C.buried D.washed 71.A.tolerant B.afraid C.tired D.careful 72.A.translate B.adapt C.escape D.furnish 73.A.various B.false C.reliable D.different 74.A.pass B.break C.outstep D.determine 75.A.capable B.doubtful C.sick D.Ignorant参考答案:1.B2.C3.A4.D5.C6.B7.C8.D9.D10.B11.A12.C13.B14.A15.A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

-上海市英语高考完形填空()

命题分析08年上海英语高考的完形填空有了很大变化,作为高考改革的先锋,08以前的上海市英语试卷的完形填空就与众不同。

在题量上虽然与全国多数省市一样,但分为A、B两篇小完形,分别占10题。

在08年的单项选择缩编的情况下,08年的完形填空题量有增,新增题型“多选几”的题量为9题,原题形的完形填空增为15题,篇幅有所增加。

That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 .They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone.This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustmentunder such conditionsScientists have studied the reactions of men t o one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious theproblem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, theybegin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however,these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When p eople are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations betterthan others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 ourastronauts. These men u ndergo a long period of testing and training.

As a Frenchgraduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum(课程)of the thorough teachingof English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the leastable are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stophaving 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons atschool, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modemlanguages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to dothe same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need. 55.A.Due to B.In addition to C.Instead of D.In spite of 56.A.errors B.situations C.systems D.methods 57.A.vocabulary B.culture C.grammar D.literature 58.A.wide B.similar C.separate D.unique 59.A.kept out B.turned down C.help back D.left behind60A.surprisingly B.individually C.equally D.regular 61.A.extra B.traditional C.basic D.regular 62.A.Although B.Because C.Until D.Unless 63.A.restored B.absorbed C.prohibited D.withdrawn 64.A.wasting B.focusing C.exploiting D.sharing08上海高考完形填空Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

But now the National Health Service is sick. Government 41 and underfunding are forcing hospitals to close, and waiting lists for treatment are getting longer. Under such circumstances, it is no surprise that more people are turning to private (but expensive) healthcare.For some, however, there are 42 . They are turning their back on modern pills, tablets and resorting to other conventional medicine. It seems paradoxical, but in an age of microchips and high technology, traditional medicine, the old-fashioned cures that our grandparents relied on, is making a 43 .Consider these case studies:Maude is 76 years old and has been suffering from arthritis for almost ten years. “The pain in my joints was almost 44 , and my doctor referred me to a surgeon at the London Hospital. I was told that I needed 45 , but would need to wait for at least two years before I could have the operation. In 46 , I started having massage sessions. To my surprise, these were very therapeu tic, and while they didn’t cure the disorder, they did47 it to some extent”.Ron is 46. His high-powered city job was 48 for a series of stress-related illnesses, and the drugs he took didn’t work well on the nervous strain. “I r ead about 49 which involve the whole person rather than the individual symptoms, but I had always doubted about such kind of medicine for all diseases. However, my friend50 a dietician who told me that part of my problem was diet-related. Basically, the food I was eating was51 to my disorder. She gave me a list of foods that would provide the right vitamins and minerals to keep me in good health. At the same time, she advocated a more 52 lifestyle-running, swimming, that kind of thing. I’ m a bit of a couch potato, and this kind of lifestyle I had lived was 53 the problem. Now I feel great!”So is there still a place in our lives for modern medicine? While it is true that some infections and viruses may be 54 by turning to traditional medicine, more serious illnesses such as cancer need more extreme measures. We do need our health service at these times, and we shouldn’t stop 55 in its future. But we mustn’t forget that for some common illnesses, the cure may lie in the past.41.

If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 41 even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over42 : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what to skim (略读) and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day.A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadays makes the argument for being the careful kind of 43 , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44 that have long been prized in guides to writing.Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45 needless words. The authors, however, have 46 the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from 127 to 49 words almost 47the response rate.Keeping messages to a 48 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49 the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50 , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.Syntax (句法) and 51 matter, too.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.City air is in a sorry state. It is dirty and hot. Outdoor pollution kills 4.2m people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac, meanwhile, absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also __41__ plants which would otherwise cool things down by evaporative transpiration(蒸腾作用). The never-ceasing __42__ of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.A possible answer to the twin problems of pollution and heat is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants and they certainly __43__ tiny particles floating in the air, which are then washed to the ground by rain. Besides transpiration, they provide __44__.To cool an area effectively, trees must be planted in quantity. Two years ago, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree __45__ to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities —and especially not those now springing up in the world’s poor and middle-income countries — are __46__ with parks, private gardens or a sufficient number of street trees. And the problem is likely to get worse. At the moment, 55% of people live in cities. By 2050 that share is expected to reach 68%.One group of botanists believe they have at least a partial __47__ to this lack of urban vegetation. It is to plant miniature simulacra(模拟物)of natural forests, ecologically engineered for rapid growth. Over the course of a career that began in the 1950s, their leader, Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yokohama National University in Japan, has developed a way to do this starting with even the most __48__ deserted areas. And the Miyawaki method is finding increasing __49__ around the world.Dr Miyawaki’s insight was to deconstruct and rebui ld the process of ecological succession, by which __50__ land develops naturally into mature forest. Usually, the first arrival is grass, followed by small trees and, finally, larger ones. The Miyawaki method __51__ some of the early phases and jumps directly to planting the kinds of species found in a mature wood.Dr Miyawaki has __52__ the planting of more than 1,500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Wherever they are planting, though, gardeners are not restrict ed to __53__ nature’s recipe book to the letter. Miyawaki forests can be customized to local requirements. A popular choice, __54__, is to include more fruit trees than a natural forest might support, thus creating an orchard that requires no maintenance.If your goal is to better your __55__ surroundings, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr Miyawaki might well be your man.41.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Anyone who has ever witnessed the miracle in which infants progress from mewling to “Mama” to “Mine!” knows how critical it is for youngsters to hear normally before they speak their first words. __41__, many children who don’t talk by age two turn out to be deaf. The sooner their disability is discovered and __42__, the less likely they are to fall behind in the development of important language and social skills. That is why a growing number of hearing specialists (audiologists) and parents are campaigning for __43__ screening of newborns for hearing loss.Their __44__ has registered in some powerful ears. To date, 22 states have passed legislation requiring at least partial screening programs. Part of the push stems from __45__ in technology that, among other things, allow children as young as two months to be __46__ hearing aids. But there are limits to the technology. One thing parents should realize before they start is that the screening tests are far from __47__. A bad result doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss. Of those three infants, one is profoundly deaf. About half the time, doctors can identify a possible cause, such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds, or a family history of __48__. The rest of the time there is simply no __49__ as to why a newborn’s hearing may have been affected.The screening tests work by introducing a sound into a baby’s ear and then measuring either the __50__ of the ear’s i nternal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain (the auditory brain-stem response test). Just because a baby fails either test, __51__, does not mean that there is a hearing problem. A temporary buildup of fluid in the ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can __52__ the results. For this reason, experts say, hospitals should __53__ the screening tests for any baby who doesn’t pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologist for more thorough testing.It is at this stage that things get a bit __54__. Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen, most prove on further examination to be just fine. Is it worth __55__ 17 families of perfectly normal children - not to mention asking them to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests - to identify three infants with hearing loss?41. A.

完形填空Some fifteen years ago, when smartphone apps were new and few truly understood their potentials, retailers (零售商) barely knew that consumers could browse in stores while comparing prices and __1__from other item providers through certain apps before __2__ makingthe purchase online. Ten years ago, brick-and-mortar (实体店) retailers had to acknowledge that showrooming existed and appeared to be a threat. That’s the year when retailers were up in arms as online giant Amazon released an “evil” promotion that encouraged consumers to visit __3__ stores and use Amazon’s Price Check app at the same time. Any purchase completed through the app was given __4__ discounts, which significantly stimulated sales and__5__ many shop owners to the edge of bankruptcy.From the point on, retailers began launching strategies to combat showrooming including releasing __6__ items for sale so that no reference prices from other sources are available for comparison.“Media have reported showrooming as a big threat to physical stores,” says Casey Carl, a retailer. “However, less __7__ is the fact that it is also the greatest opportunity for us.” Retailers need to accept that the act of showrooming is not illegal and any sensible buyer tends to __8__ prices. As there’s nothing you can do about it, you might as well offer conveniences like in-store internet access to __9__ these consumers. With caring services combined with acceptable prices, the store might actually improve the likelihood for consumers to close the deal __10__.And a showrooming study indicates that it’s wise for retailers to limit the item price to at most 5 dollars higher than what online stores charge. After all, for the majority of consumers, getting the absolute lowest price is not their __11__. Many of them, instead, are willing to pay__12__ in exchange for favourable shopping experiences, such as the pleasant store atmosphere, agreeable staff attitudes or even the merry music played, with a reasonable price __13__, of course.Besides, adopting a strategy of __14__ channels is also essential. With many sale channels under control, retailers are sure to have access to the lowest price possible for an item. Therefore, when a customer pulls out a mobile device in store, retailers can be spared the __15__ that wasunavoidable for them some ten years ago.1.A.reviews B.locations C.rehearsals D.similarities 2.A.genuinely B.generously C.particularly D.finally 3.A.domestic B.physical C.imaginary D.parallel 4.A.superior B.compulsory C.routine D.rewarding 5.A.cornered B.messed C.overlooked D.refunded 6.A.exclusive B.alternative C.renewed D.seasonal 7.A.criticized B.publicized C.exploited D.executed 8.A.pursue B.neglect C.question D.compare 9.A.assist B.prohibit C.monitor D.expose 10.A.out of stock B.on the spot C.within reach D.at random 11.A.reputation B.greed C.priority D.devotion 12.A.attention B.deposit C.honor D.extra 13.A.disorder B.gap C.split D.deadline 14.A.accessible B.multiple C.loyal D.concrete 15.A.suspicion B.effort C.panic D.guiltThieving Monkeys — Name Your PriceHuman beings are not the only species able to negotiate a deal.If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be careful. The long-tailed macaques (猕猴) there are well-known thieves. They make a living by____16____ visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid. That is quite clever. But professor Jean-Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first ____17____ and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to ____18____ how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a ____19____ tourist, they recorded the interaction. Not all attempts at robbery were successful. But of those that were, they analysed the ____20____ of almost 2,200.To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the ____21____ values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations ____22____ tourists who want to get their property back: raw eggs, biscuits and small bags of fruit. Different monkeys have different ____23____, but professor Leca established these for ____24____ animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.To confirm which stealable objects are most _____25_____ by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and camera bags; accessories such as key rings; hats and headgear; shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed, from the video recordings, how often victims _____26_____ to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and _____27_____ classified objects into low value (the first two classes on the list), medium value (the second two) and high value (the third two).They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing — _____28_____, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young ones make no such _____29_____, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.In monkeys, as in people, guile(狡猾)is not a trick that is inborn. It has to be _____30_____. 16.A.warning B.robbing C.reminding D.clearing 17.A.deposit B.dish C.offer D.prey 18.A.assign B.assist C.assure D.assess 19.A.particular B.principal C.peculiar D.progressive 20.A.impacts B.details C.attacks D.motions 21.A.precise B.scientific C.optional D.relative 22.A.in spite of B.in honor of C.with regard to D.on behalf of 23.A.preferences B.potentials C.performances D.predictions 24.A.individual B.independent C.collective D.cooperative 25.A.identified B.valued C.exchanged D.rewarded 26.A.refused B.managed C.bothered D.happened27.A.instead B.otherwise C.thus D.meanwhile 28.A.in practice B.at least C.in all D.at length 29.A.differences B.distinctions C.distributions D.demands 30.A.acquired B.reversed C.managed D.informed Many things happen when people are ageing. Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin, there is a(n) ___31___ change which comes with older age. When humans reach their later years, they favour more long-term ___32___ and their social cirele is reduced.Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same ___33___ in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their ___34___ friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social ___35___ of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps' ___36___ depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated (分类) the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship;___37___ friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed___38___ the other.When the scientists looked at the ___39___ of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another_____40_____ seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of _____41_____ gradually become less, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers _____42_____. According to an idea in psychology known as socio-emotional selectivity theory, older humans prefer more_____43_____ relationships because they are aware that time is running out. However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees _____44_____ the human sense of mortality (死亡) , suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the _____45_____ social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meetpeople combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, he said. 31.A.physical B.intellectual C.emotional D.functional 32.A.habits B.friends C.tasks D.ideas 33.A.problem B.obstacle C.struggle D.behaviour 34.A.established B.respective C.experienced D.thoughtful 35.A.skills B.reputations C.interactions D.positions 36.A.intelligence B.relationships C.popularity D.performances 37.A.easy-going B.warm-hearted C.self-relying D.one-sided 38.A.respect for B.courage to C.interest in D.loyalty to 39.A.patterns B.importance C.meanings D.development 40.A.instinct B.disadvantage C.feature D.belief 41.A.responsibility B.aggression C.reliability D.advancement 42.A.delighted B.amused C.relived D.puzzled 43.A.unknown B.positive C.insecure D.senseless 44.A.lack B.obtain C.imitate D.abandon 45.A.absence from B.isolation from C.decrease in D.distinction inCertainty:Over-rated and Over-rewardedType the words “kind of” or “perhaps” into an email in Microsoft Outlook and the program might well tell you to think again. If the Al-powered “Microsoft Editor” judges that you are not sounding ____46____ enough, it will soon give you a word of warning:“Words expressing uncertainty will ____47____ your impact.”To me, this suggestion precisely expresses something we’ve got wrong in society. We live in a world that ____48____ those who speak with confidence-even when that is misplaced-and gives very little opportunity to perform to those who ____49____ doubt. “We tend to listen to those experts who tell us a simple, clear and confident story. Why? Because that’s ____50____ satisfying,” says Dan Gardner, author of Future Babble, “That’s saying let me sweep away the uncertainty for you’.”Research shows that the human brain is “programmed” to hate ____51____:a 2016 study found that when volunteers were given electric shocks, their stress levels were highest when theyhad no idea whether they were going to be given a shock-higher even than subjects who were told they would ____52____ get one.We should first know that while confident-sounding experts might be giving us what our brains desire, the ____53____ they are providing is probably false. Psychologist Philip Tetlock divided up forecasters into “foxes” and “hedgehogs”. Foxes consider all sorts of different approaches sand perspectives, and combine those into distinct conclusions. ____54____, hedgehogs tend to view the world through the lens of one single defining idea. That makes the hedgehogs _____55_____ forecasters but more likely to get attention.Perhaps we care less about the truth and more about enjoying some sense of _____56_____ however short-lived that might be. But wouldn’t it be better if we held experts to account? Mr. Gardner suggests tagging speakers with some kind of record of previous _____57_____ much as we are given performance statistics for racehorses or baseball players.Highly confident statements also _____58_____ polarization(两极化), encouraging others to respond in the same kind of language when they disagree. “There’s a natural tendency to push back with equal amounts of _____59_____ says Daniel Drezner, a political scientist.Is it time to give a bit more attention to the _____60_____?

Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is___61___when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will findit____62____difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education,to___63___health care, information and psychosocial support, and to have their voices heard.Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. ____64____yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less____65____than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital____66____is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is predicted that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and ____67____skills.There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls’ obvious_____68_____from basic education, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both_____69_____and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and______70______, such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious (隐伏的) reasons why girls may be______71______from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology. The United Nations has announced that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent,non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital gap is amajor_____72_____to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy._____73_____a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality. This also resultsin______74______economic growth and innovation that is possible only when men and women have equal access to technology and the economy.In the words of USAID Senior Gender Coordinator Michelle Bekkering, “A girl’s future should be_____75_____not by her sex, but by her commitment to hard work and ability to access the resources she needs to succeed.”61.A.improved B.eliminated C.worsened D.resulted 62.A.considerately B.increasingly C.only D.technically 63.A.access B.approach C.evaluate D.promote 64.A.However B.Worse C.And D.Strangely 65.A.possible B.probable C.likely D.feasible 66.A.gap B.difference C.data D.shortage 67.A.digital B.technical C.mathematical D.practical 68.A.restriction B.exclusion C.independence D.division 69.A.implements B.devices C.products D.experts 70.A.research B.criticism C.discrimination D.distinction 71.A.encouraged B.prevented C.denied D.disappointed 72.A.deadlock B.concern C.prevention D.barrier 73.A.With B.Without C.Through D.Despite 74.A.faint B.lost C.missed D.rapid 75.A.defined B.confined C.designed D.outlined Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently ____76____ boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are ____77____ as big heroes.It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it ____78____ because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can ____79____ the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a ____80____ themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their ____81____ in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.However, there is a ____82____ side to boxing. It can be a very dangerous sport. Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers ____83____ have to wear helmets, therehave frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with____84____ consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ____85____. Furthermore, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing, in the form of serious brain____86____, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.I am personally not at all in ____87____ of aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better if less time was ____88____ to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like ____89____ sports, and so do I, but I think that ____90____ other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.76.A.broadcast B.cover C.host D.design 77.A.kept B.individualized C.thought D.treated 78.A.appealing B.subjective C.violent D.challenging 79.A.pick up B.believe in C.identify with D.long for 80.A.winner B.spectator C.inspector D.trainer 81.A.ambition B.aggression C.energy D.strength 82.A.positive B.indifferent C.deadly D.negative 83.A.otherwise B.somehow C.even D.barely 84.A.dramatic B.eye-catching C.emotional D.special 85.A.court B.ring C.pitch D.yard 86.A.loss B.drain C.damage D.disorder 87.A.favour B.process C.charge D.power 88.A.shifted B.transformed C.given D.delivered 89.A.competitive B.quiet C.cooperative D.regular 90.A.invading B.insulting C.teasing D.Hitting参考答案:1.A2.D3.B4.D5.A6.A7.B8.D9.A10.B11.C12.D13.B14.B15.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

Science.Psychology researchers Anna V.Fisher,Karrie E.Godwin and Howard Seltman of Carnegie Mellon University looked at whether classroom displays affected children’s ability to maintain42during instruction and to learn the lesson content.They found that children in highly decorated classrooms were more distracted,spent more time off-task and demonstrated smaller learning43than when the decorations were removed.“Young children spend a lot of time—usually the whole day—in the same classroom,and we have shown that a classroom’s44environment can affect how much children learn,”said Fisher,lead author and associate professor of psychology in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.Should teachers45their visual displays based on the findings of this study?“We do not suggest by any means that this is the answer to all46problems.Furthermore, 47research is needed to know what effect the classroom visual environment has on children’s attention and learning in real classrooms,”Fisher said.“48,I would suggest that instead of removing all decorations,teachers should consider whether some of their visual displays do make it difficult for young children to49.”For the study,24kindergarten students were placed in50classrooms for six introductory science lessons on topics they were unfamiliar with.Three lessons were taught in a heavily decorated classroom,and three lessons were given in a sparse(稀疏的)classroom.The results showed that while children learned in both51types,they learned more when the room was not heavily decorated.Specifically,children’s52on the test questions was higher in the sparse classroom(55%correct)than in the decorated classroom(42%correct).“We were also interested in finding out if the visual displays were removed,whether the children’s attention would 53to another distraction,such as talking to their peers,or the total amount of time they were distracted would remain the same,”said Godwin,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology and fellow of the Program in Interdisciplinary Education Research.However,when the researchers totaled all of the time children spent off-task in both types of classrooms,the rate of off-task54was higher in the decorated classroom(38.6%time spent off-task)than in the sparse classroom(28.4% time spent off-task).The researchers hope these findings will lead to further studies into developing guidelines to help teachers design classrooms55.41.A.attracting B.distracting C.holding D.paying42.A.confidence B.relationship C.consistency D.focus43.A.gains B.opportunities C.needs

Mexican immigrants,Juan,Oscar,Luis,and Alfredo.These boys,coming from____41____backgrounds,often found themselves overlooked and underestimated.Bonded by fate and friendship,they shared a common passion for ____42____.Two science teachers there decided to enter their high school into a complicated____43____robotics competition sponsored by the NASA and the Naval Research.Excited for the news,these four boys signed up for the competition.With enthusiasm and energy,they started calling mechanical engineers for design help.They were____44____that these kinds of robots require glass syntactic flotation foam,a type of floating material used in various marine applications.____45____money,all they could afford was some PVC pipes and duct tape(强力胶布).____46____,they searched the city for various spare parts,gathering whatever they could to bring their vision to life.With the teachers’guidance and encouragement,they____47____together a robot with no more than metal and wires.As they worked on their robot,the boys also faced personal challenges.Juan struggled with the weight of family responsibilities;Oscar____48____a deep-seated fear of failure;Luis’s heart ached from the constant peers’mockery(嘲笑)for his____49____accent,and Alfredo longed for acceptance and belonging.____50____these obstacles,they persevered,leaning on each other for support and inspiration.After a few test runs of their robot,they piled into a second-hand van to head to the competition.Upon entering the main pool area,they noticed the college teams wearing matching outfits,with robots sponsored by big companies. Feeling a bit nervous,the boys put the robot in the water for a test run.____51____,the PVC didn’t hold up,causing the robot to leak and sink.However,instead of letting this____52____ruin their spirits,the boys put their heads together and came up with a brilliant solution.12hours later,armed with8super-absorbent pads to plug the leak,the robot was____53____into the pool again.This time,their robot performed admirably.Gliding gracefully through the waters,it navigated the course with precision and speed,____54____the judges and audience alike.This underwater robot,a symbol of their determination and____55____,conquered the waters,defeated engineering powerhouse MIT and ranked first in the country.This was not just a win for those four but a victory for every underdog with a dream.41.

You probably vow(发誓)to___42___dollar pizza slices the rest of the month to balance out this dinner.___43___,this time,what if you just turned to your friend,closed the menu,and said,“Sorry,I have to be honest.I can’t afford this. Let’s go somewhere else?”That’s the idea behind“loud budgeting”,a trend that could not only relieve you of the___44___burden,but help you deal with these sorts of stressful situations both mentally and emotionally.In an age when everybody is showing off nice things on social media and___45___to be something they’re not,it feels somewhat revolutionary to just tell the truth about what you can’t afford.The term was first introduced by TikTok(抖音)comedian Lukas Battle.Battle explained his concept in an interview: simply put,loud budgeting is being___46___about what you do and don’t want to spend money on.Since his video,the concept has caught on rapidly among the___47___,who are pointing out that it has come at a significant time when everything is uncontrollably expensive.It’s not just a TikTok thing though.Even those in the financial services industry are on board with the___48___. Nikolina Cuca,a financial advisor,says that she’s seen social media add pressure to her clients,causing them to spend ___49___on luxury items.“There should be no shame about trying to match your spending to your means.This trend helps young people moderate spending by___50___the idea of living within budgets.”Beyond just saving money,loud budgeting is also bringing people closer.Honest money talks lead to greater respect among friends and family.By___51___discussing money goals,people are creating stronger bonds based on mutual understanding for each other’s financial situations.And perhaps the most valuable part of the loud budgeting trend is that it provides a sense of___52___.For example,if you tell a friend you are trying to cut back spending on drinks out,you are much___53___to stick with the goal than if you just keep it to yourself.With its focus on being open,spending wisely,and building___54___,loud budgeting is more than just a passing trend,but a cool way for the younger generation to___55___their finances.As more people adopt this approach,it is likely to stay a big part of how we handle money in the future.41.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Now, U.S. researchers have identified a new way to treat people infected with tuberculosis (肺结核)before they get sick.Tuberculosis is one of the world's most 1 health threats. The World Health Organization says tuberculosis kills nearly two million people each year. Another two billion are 2 : they are infected, but don't have symptoms of the disease. Those at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone 3 with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid(异烟肼,抗结核药)for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is 4 . Asa(n) 5 , Sterling and his colleagues 6 isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine (利福喷汀).The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months. And the results of this study showed that the new treatment plan ---- the three months of isoniazid and rifapentine---- was as effective as the nine–month isoniazid treatment plan. 7 , the short-course, three-month treatment plan had higher treatment completion rates and was also well 8 .There was some other difference. The two-drug, combination treatment was administered as directly 9 therapy. That means the patients took their medicine in the presence of a health care worker, to ensure that they followed the treatment plan. This was a large study, involving 7,500 participants in North America, Spain, and Brazil. Sterling 10 that most of the people in this study were HIV-negative. The results might be 11 for HIV-positive people. A recent study in South Africa indicated that the combination therapy works well in people infected with HIV as well as tuberculosis, but the study was too small to be 12 . Timothy Sterling's research, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, has been 13 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC. The government health agency recommends the 12-dose weekly combination treatment as an equal alternative to the 270–dose daily treatment plan that has been the 14 therapy. But because of possible 15 issues, the CDC still recommends the daily treatment plan for HIV–positive patients who are taking antiretroviral drugs or women who are pregnant. Also because of a lack of data, the CDC says children under age 12 should stay with the nine-month daily treatment.1. A. public B. persistent C. predictable D. mild2.

Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people d o the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to ease congestion.”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ---- ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center----can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails totake into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, an 54 to less crowded parts of the city---all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

Questions:11.Why was the kitchen located far away from other castle rooms and buildings?

With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and(3)technology(考察名词answers are rarely black or white.Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this,and patients'expectations haven't(4)adjusted(考察动词过去时)either.“Medicine has always fallen short ofthe sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”,says Dr.Ross Upshur,a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto.“If you think about knowledge and what it does,it’s about(5)limiting(考察动名词)uncertainty,not about creating certainty.”Doctors in training,like gamblers,need to be (6)comfortable(替换为accustomed to)(考察动词短语)working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on a myriad of factors.When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose a disease,he tells them to(7)broaden(考动词)their inquiry----come up with a list of possibilities,rather than quickly home in on a single solution.“Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm,you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best(8)therapy(替换为cure)(考察名词)and what the outcomes will be in the longrun.”(9)Technology(考察名词)has helped redefine the quest for certainty.We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more(10)accurate(考察形容词)diagnosis than from a doctor.Dr.Richard Schwartzstein,a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School,sees such developments as both a/an(11)challenge(考察名词)and an opportunity.On one hand,he says,“technology tries to push you to a/an(12)maximal(考察形容词)level of certainty.Do this test to get a99percent level of certainty that you have this disease.”On the other hand,computers can’t(13)communicate(考察动词)a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way.Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age,your smoking status,and your gender,a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule(癌症结节).It can also(14)calculate(考察动词)quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule.What it can’t do,(15)however(考察副词),is decide how to break the news that you have a nodule in your lung that has a1percent chance of becoming a cancer.【译文】医生是科学家,在统计学、赔率和概率的世界中运作。

命题分析08年上海英语高考的完形填空有了很大变化,作为高考改革的先锋,08以前的上海市英语试卷的完形填空就与众不同。

在题量上虽然与全国多数省市一样,但分为A、B两篇小完形,分别占10题。

在08年的单项选择缩编的情况下,08年的完形填空题量有增,新增题型“多选几”的题量为9题,原题形的完形填空增为15题,篇幅有所增加。

而对新的改革,仔细辨认一下,“多选几”其实就是现行大学新四、六级取代单选的新贵。

希望同学们的视线不要仅仅限于高考,英语的学习是不分级别的,作为发达城市里学生,更应该具备这一素质,只有进行多方面的尝试,才会在出现新题型时,具备一定的应变能力。

望同学们在今后的学习中,广泛的学习各种英语知识,高考也许只考我们所学的一部分,但当我们对各种英语知识了如指掌的时候,我们还会怕它吗!06上海高考完形填空(A)The term home schooling means educating children at home or in places other than a normal setting such as a public or private school.

That is one reason why astronautson solo(单独的) space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditionsScientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is calleda stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training.

As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some ideaof why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and thelow expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum(课程)of the thorough teachingof English57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groupsso 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the leastable are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to dothe same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need. 55.A.Due to B.In addition to C.Instead of D.In spite of 56.A.errors B.situations C.systems D.methods 57.A.vocabulary B.culture C.grammar D.literature 58.A.wide B.similar C.separate D.unique59.A.kept out B.turned down C.help back D.left behind60A.surprisingly B.individually C.equally D.regular 61.A.extra B.traditional C.basic D.regular 62.A.Although B.Because C.Until D.Unless 63.A.restored B.absorbed C.prohibited D.withdrawn 64.A.wasting B.focusing C.exploiting D.sharing08上海高考完形填空Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.
