R eading comprehension: (共50分)A.Choose the best answer:Recognized as the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert runs across North Africa. Except for an occasional oasis（绿洲）, this vast land is mainly made up of sand, stones, and worn out mountains. The burning sun causes daytime temperatures to rise to nearly 70 degrees in the shade, and days without rain commonly last for years.Paintings found on the walls of caves in the Sahara Desert suggest that a few thousand years ago, large quantities of plants grew there and covered the desert floor. Many curious and unusual insects, birds and animals got enough food that allowed them to grow and reproduce. At that time, huge river systems and many oases supported growing communities where a large number of people lived.Research scientists believe that the land became a desert for several reasons. For centuries people there have wandered（徘徊）from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing land for their animals. These people have always considered the number of animals they have as a sign of wealth. The large herds have been allowed to go freely and graze on desert plants and grass. Over time, large sections of land have been left uncovered. In addition to allowing over grazing, these people cut down whatever trees they could find and used them for firewood. The sand was unable to hold on to the great heat of the day, so nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing and nothing was left to hold the soil together.Scientists have been studying different ways to bring back the green desert. Through research and experiments, they hope to be able to produce plants that will once again support the life there. Huge holes filled with much water lie under the desert surface. By making use of the sun’s power, scientists in the Sahara have made experiments in which they got huge amount of electricity. This electricity was then used to operate drilling（钻孔）machines and pumps to pull the rainwater from the underground tanks.Scientists have had some success turning this wasteland into useful farmland. Today the desert isdotted（点缀）with huge wheat fields watered by a system of pipes that carry water from the underground tanks. Farmers have also learnt that plants grow better if seeds are planted next to stones which could provide protection from the sun. In addition to that, greenhouses have been built to protect plants from the sunshine so that less water is needed. Another idea is to grow plants that can live on a diet of salt water, since the ocean is so near to the desert.69. According to the passage, the Sahara Desert may be located in whichpart in the given map?A. Part AB. Part BC. Part DD. Part F70. The underline word "vast" in paragraph 1 most probably means____________.A. richB. barrenC. wideD. colorful71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The desert is rich in beautiful color and scenery.B. Allowing over grazing is the only reason to make the land became a desert.C. The Sahara will one day become a beautiful garden.D. Large river systems once supported many communities.72. From the passage, we can infer that scientists are ____________.A. pleased with the progress but do not have the money to continueB. discouraged（沮丧的）by the poor results of their experimentsC. hopeful about the chances of life coming back to the desertD. troubled by the lack of water found underground73. From paragraph 4 and 5, we can know that____________.A. Animals have learnt to survive in the desert by lying next to rocks away from sunshine.B. Through experiments, a desert may become a food-producing land.C. Water supply will dry up before it can be used to grow crops.D. Saltwater seeds will grow in the desert sand.74. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Drilling machines help to water the desert floor and make plants and animals alive.B. Scientists have been able to turn this large wasteland into a successful farming community.C. So much soil has become sand that the desert will never be able to support life as it once did.D. The desert no longer supports plenty of life, but researchers hope to change it with new scientifictechniques.B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage:Sim Jae-duck is 74 years old and the founder of the World Toilet Association（厕所协会）. He was born in a restroom. “My mother followed advice from my grandmother that people born in restrooms will 75 long lives,” Sim said. Now he plans to live and die in a toilet-shaped house.The large glass building was built in Suweon, a Korean city. There are two bedrooms and two guest rooms among the rooms. The house, of course, has three expensive toilets.“There is a display bathroom behind glass for all to see. The other toilets have water saving features,” Sim said. “My family has 76 agreed to keep this house as a symbol of South Korea’s new toilet 77 after my death. The house will be remembered as an example of saving people from diseases and protecting the environment.”The main bathroom has a machine that produces a mist（液体喷雾）78 others can’t see the people in the bathroom. That can make users feel 79 .The toilet seat will be raised as people enter and music will play.Sim’s advice has changed public toilets into clean and beautiful resting places. Now the publi c toilets in Suweon are 80 paintings, fresh flowers or even small gardens. They are places that protect human health.75. A. take B. enjoy C. welcome D. show76. A. nearly B. already C. almost D. yet77. A. process B. gift C. culture D. manner78. A. so that B. because C. unless D. although79. A. excited B. terrible C. tired D. safe80. A. covered with B. made of C. used to D. decorated withC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:Imagine, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office inShanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, goingback home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it has come true, with thedevel opment of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all.China has an even greater high-speed railway plan—to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and finally Eastern Europe.China is negotiating（协商）to s 81 its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, at the end reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three s 82 projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore through Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijingwithin two days. The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standards.Of course, there are some technical challenges we have to face. There are so many things to be i 83 , for example, safety. So, it’s important to pay attention to every tiny thing.But the k 84 point is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on the railway system in the country.China p 85 that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to its long-term development.It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will s 86 create more chances for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We fores ee that in the near future, millions of people will move to the western areas, where the land is e 87 and resources rich. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.D. Answer the questions:In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”Oh that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head-cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude.A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when del ivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on th e toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, Iprobably would have said, ” Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded person is sure to have.88.When did the pharaoh treat the poor message runner like a prince?89.The author caught the bus at last, didn’t he?90.Why does someone get angry when others tell him bad news?91.What should we do when we deliver bad news to comfortable people?92.What does this sentence “When you had your heart set on the toast beef” means?93.If your classmate fails the exam, how will you tell him this bad news?VII. Writing: (共20分)94. Write at least 60 words on the topic "That, We......"（以“那天，我们......”为题写一篇不少于60个词的作文，标点符号不占格。

浦东新区2016学年度第二学期教学质量检测高三英语试卷2017.4II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20%)Section Asay,amandfor the future, according to the paper’s own 2020 report __31__ on Tuesday.―While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation, the pace must speed up,‖ the authors wrote in the opening of the re port. ―Too often, digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds; now we must tear apart the barriers. We must __32__ between mission and tradition: what we do because it’s essential to our values and what we do because we’ve always done it.‖The report indicates how far the paper has come in __33__ itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.The areas that need __34__ are focused on the newsroom, particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.Many of the report’s recommendations are __35__ to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general: A(n) __36__ away from print’s outsized importance on the newsroom’s operations, better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016 of doubling digital revenue to $800 million by 2020. ―To __37__ our future, we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020.‖The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times—and most other newspapers—rely, namely a mix of news stories and features that are text heavy. ―Too much of our daily report remains __38__ by l ong texts.‖ the report states.The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers. ―Our readers are __39__ for advice from The Times. Too often, we don’t offer it, or offer it only in print-centric forms.‖ the report states. Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper’s own journalists. Reporters said they would like to see __40__ in choice of how to tell certain stories, and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward.III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section AHave We Reached Peak Trade?Globalization is usually defined as the free movement of people, goods and capital. It’s been the most important __41__ force of modernity. Until the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice as fast as the global economy itself. __42__, thanks to both economics and politics, globalization as we have known it is developing fast.The question is: Have we reached peak trade? If you think of it in terms of the flow of digital data and ideas, no—it’s actually __43__. Indeed, the cross-border flow of digital data—e-commerce, web searches, online video, machine-to-machine interactions—has grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is __44__ to grow much faster than the global economy over the next few years.There’s no doubt globalization has increased wealth at both global and national levels. But free trade can also widen the __45__ gap within countries, in part by creating concentrated groups of economic losers. Free trade has made goods and services cheaper for Americans—think of all the inexpensive Chinese-made goods at Walmart—but it hasn’t always __46__ their job prospects. From 1990 to 2008, the areas most __47__ to foreign competition saw almost no net new jobs created. That’s one reason the new generation of Americans is on track to be _-48__ than their parents.The gains of free trade do not always __49__ the losses. This realization that the tide of __50__ doesn’t raise all boats has fed into the anti-free trade movement. And companies themselves are __51__ globalization.Nevertheless, there is one reason to be __52__ about the future of globalization—at least, the new information-based kind. McKinsey data estimate that the companies responsible for the jump in flows of digital goods, services and information will include a much higher proportion of small businesses than in the past. An estimated 86% of tech-based startups surveyed by McKinsey now do some cross-border business-- __53__ before the arrival of the Internet, when globalization was dominated by super powers. That means that more of the wealth generated by globalization could flow down to the 80% of the population that hasn’t __54__ as much as it should have.If those individuals feel they are being empowered by open borders and freer trade, it could help swing the political pendulum（钟摆）back toward globalization in some form. Despite its laws, it has been an economic force that has lifted more people out of __55__ than anything else the world has ever known.41. A. political B. cultural C. economic D. natural42. A. Otherwise B. Hence C. Moreover D. Yet43. A. depressing B. increasing C. approving D. operating44. A. projected B. tracked C. signaled D. needed45. A. price B. welfare C. pension D. wealth46. A. ruined B. helped C. foreseen D. reversed47. A. resistant B. suited C. exposed D. inaccessible48. A. happier B. healthier C. wealthier D. poorer49. A. outweigh B. balance C. suffer D. substitute50.

A. adaptable B. accessible C. affordable D. impossible54. A. striven B. consumed C. benefited D. digested55. A. fear B. poverty C. frustration D. embarrassmentSection B(A)Dear Cutie-Pie,Recently, your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google. Half way through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was ―How to keep him interested.‖It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.And I got angry.Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to ―keep him interested.‖Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss—that you are worthy of interest.If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.I don’t care if he can’t p lay a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a p lace of respect in his heart. I don’t care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to ―keep him interested‖ is to be you.Your eternally interested guy,Daddy56.What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet?A. Girls’ knowing nothing about trusting themselves.B. Girls’ giving priority to finding ways to please boys.C. Girls’ bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time.D. Girls’ being upset by being rejected constantly. 57.Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is to _____________________.A. keep the boy interestedB. know she deserves a boy’s interestC. attract a boy willing to invest all in herD. find a boy who can please her(B)Self-driving CapabilitiesSensor and camera-equipped models from Audi andV olkswagen, among others, don’t just automaticallybrake to prevent minor accidents; they can actuallynavigate （行驶）around highway traffic and intogarages without a human at the wheel.

Smart Tech(C)On the occasional clear-frost autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism（转基因生物）; deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.Our world is changing rapidly. In the last five decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine（饥荒）one might have predicted.How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed—the high-yield crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant’s weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and nurture one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, nourishing the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night when I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.63. Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph?A. To advise people to keep wolves as petsB. To persuade readers to welcome the new technologyC. To change people’s attitude towards wolvesD. To introduce a technology used to hum ans’ advantage64. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops.B. With GMO technology, famine has been eliminated.C. Artificial selections make high-yield plants possible.D. The author believes technology should contribute to future generations.attocity of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation. 68. ________ Often far less famed men and women have played a cr itical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that makephilanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, ―Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthro py necessary.‖Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. 70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.IV. 71. Summary Writing (10%)Every year, more and more parents complain to their children’s schools about PE. They believe that their child ren shouldn’t have to participate in physical activity if they don’t want to . Supporters of PE, however, believe that it is a crucial element of all-round schooling and our society’s well-being. They insist PE in schools remains one of the few places by which the youth can be forced to participate in aerobic exercise.Firstly, they believe that participation in sport promotes health. In fact physical education is a springboard for involvement in sport and physical activities throughout life. Government is, or should be, concerned with the health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. This doesn’t have to be through traditional team sports; increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming, gymnastics, dance, etc.Besides, physical education helps to develop character and the mutual（相互的）respect required to succeed in an adult environment. Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others, as they would be expected to do in most business or sporting environments. Sport teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions. It is often the experience of playing on a team together that builds the strongest friendships at school, which endure for years afterwards.Finally, the pursuit for national sporting achievement begins in schools. If schools don’t have compulsory PE, it is much harder to pick out, develop and equip athletes to represent the country on a wider stage. However, it’s much easier to find suitable individuals with a full sports program in every school.V. Translation (15%)72. 正巧这几天有空，去公园散步如何？(happen)73. 一副油画赠予了该美术馆，以纪念两个城市间的珍贵友谊。

This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things1my own, yet at times struggle with taking advice from others. Sometimes, hearing what other people have to say can be one of the hardest things to do. However, getting advice from2cares about you can impact your life in great ways. Because of this, I began realizing that my mom's guidance throughout my life has never steered me wrong. This is why I believe you3always listen to your mother.This belief has not been easy4(realize). It has taken endless amounts of time in which I decided to go against what my mom had to say, and later discovered that she was right. I think we can all agree that5(admit) your mom was right is always a hard thing to do. But what else are you supposed to say6you are standing outside in the freezing cold, shaking because you did not wear that extra jacketyou7(tell) to wear?When I was twelve years old, I had the experience of a lifetime. However, I would have missed out if it hadn't been for my mom. She had been planning a trip to Turkey forwork,8(offer) to bring my sister and me along with her. When I first heard about this opportunity, I was terrified. Never had I been out of the country before. I thoughtto9, "Is she crazy?" My mom then began to say,"10is known to all, one needs to step out of his comfort zone and try something new in order to encounter larger-than-life ideas." After going back and forth with my own thoughts, I decided to go on the trip. And boy, she was right. Going to Turkey will forever be one of my greatest memories and I am thankful I got to visit that amazing country.二、选词填空2、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模第31~40题10分2016~2017学年上海浦东新区高三下学期期末第31~40题10分(每题1分)The New York Times has changed a lot in the past 10 years, embracing digital subscriptions and growing into online video and specialty areas like cooking. It has not been enough to prepare the company for the future, according to the paper's own 2020 report1on Tuesday."While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation, the pace must speed up, " the authors wrote in the opening of the report. "Too often, digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds; now we must tear apart the barriers. We must2between mission and tradition: what we do because it's essential to our values and what we do because we've always done it."The report indicates how far the paper has come in3itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.The areas that need4are focused on the newsroom, particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.Many of the report's recommendations are5to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general: A（n）6away from print's outsized importance on the newsroom's operations, better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016 of doubling digital revenue to $800 million by 2020. "To7our future, we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020."The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times—and most other newspapers—rely, namely a mix of news stories and features that are text heavy. "Too much of our daily reportremains8by long texts." the report states.The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers. "Our readersare9for advice from The Times. Too often, we don't offer it, or offer it onlyin print-centric forms." the report states. Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper's own journalists. Reporters said they would like tosee10in choice of how to tell certain stories, and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward.三、完形填空3、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模第41~55题15分Have We Reached Peak Trade?Globalization is usually defined as the free movement of people, goods and capital. It's been the most important1force of modernity. Until the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice as fast as the global economy itself.2, thanks to both economics and politics, globalization as we have known it is developing fast.The question is: Have we reached peak trade? If you think of it in terms of the flow of digital data and ideas, no—it's actually3. Indeed, the cross-border flow of digital data—e-commerce, web searches, online video, machine-to-machine interactions—has grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is4to grow much faster than the global economy over the next few years.There's no doubt globalization has increased wealth at both global and national levels. But free trade can also widen the5gap within countries, in part by creating concentrated groups of economic losers. Free trade has made goods and services cheaper for Americans—think of all the inexpensive Chinese-made goods at Walmart—but it hasn't always6their job prospects. From 1990 to 2008, the areas most7to foreign competition saw almost no net new jobs created. That's one reason the new generation of Americans is on track tobe8than their parents.The gains of free trade do not always9the losses. This realization that the tide of10doesn't raise all boats has fed into the anti-free trade movement. And companies themselves are11globalization.Nevertheless, there is one reason to be12about the future of globalization—at least, the new information-based kind. McKinsey data estimate that the companies responsible for the jump in flows of digital goods, services and information will include a much higher proportion of small businesses than in the past. An estimated 86% of tech-based startups surveyed by McKinsey now do some cross-border business--13before the arrival of the Internet, when globalization was dominated by super powers. That means that more of the wealth generated by globalization could flow down to the 80% of the population thathasn't14as much as it should have.If those individuals feel they are being empowered by open borders and freer trade, it could help swing the political pendulum（钟摆）back toward globalization in some form.

Half way through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was "How to keep him interested."It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.And I got angry.Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to "keep him interested."Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss—that you are worthy of interest.If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and TAL#NBSP revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don't care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn't care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart. I don't care about the color of his skin. I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to "keep him interested" is to be you.Your eternally interested guy,Daddy(1) What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet?A. Girls' knowing nothing about trusting themselves.B. Girls' giving priority to finding ways to please boys.C. Girls' bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time.D. Girls' being upset by being rejected constantly.(2) Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is to.A. keep the boy interestedB. know she deserves a boy’s interestC. attract a boy willing to invest all in herD. find a boy who can please her(3) According to the passage, what does the underlined word "revel" mean?A. feel depressedB. become puzzledC. look aroundD. enjoy himself(4) What's the main purpose of this letter?A. To advise his daughter to trust her worth.B. To inform his daughter how to keep others interested.C. To show his daughter how to find her true love.D. To help his daughter find someone with common interests.5、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模（B篇）第60~62题6分2020~2021学年上海普陀区上海市曹杨第二中学高三上学期期中（B篇）第60~62题2016~2017学年上海浦东新区高三下学期期末（B篇）第45~47题6分(每题2分)(1) In terms of Self-driving Capabilities, what makes Audi and Volkswagen stand out?A.

Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism（转基因生物）; deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.Our world is changing rapidly. In the last five decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine（饥荒）one might have predicted.How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone the genes responsible for repressing stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed—the high-yield crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant's weaknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don't have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and nurture one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, nourishing the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each nightwhen I walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.(1) Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph?A. To advise people to keep wolves as pets.B. To persuade readers to welcome the new technology.C. To change people's attitude towards wolves.D. To introduce a technology used to humans' advantage.(2) Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops.B. With GMO technology, famine has been eliminated.C. Artificial selections make high-yield plants possible.D. The author believes technology should contribute to future generations.(3) What can be learned about modifying a plant?A. It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct.B. One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes.C. Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA.D. D. The general public show strong faith in GMO plants.(4) Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. GMO Technology—Turning Wolves into the Best PetsB. Engineered Food—Feeding Future GenerationsC. Engineered Food—To Be or Not To BeD. GMO Technology—A Driving Force in World Peace五、七选五7、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模第67~70题8分2016~2017学年上海浦东新区高三下学期期末第52~55题8分(每题2分)Charity—Humanity's most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.1Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin's gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the youngnation.2Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy's evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.3The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, "Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."Franklin's gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people.4America's greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.A. What accounts for this culture of generosity?B. B. This belief is central to the national character.C. How can a sense of generosity be cultivated?D. Americans' generosity is rooted in selfless behavior.E. America's philanthropic nature is not restricted to the rich.F. The formal practice of philanthropy traces its origin to a Founding Father.六、概要写作8、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模第71题10分Summary WritingEvery year, more and more parents complain to their children's schools about PE. They believe that their children shouldn't have to participate in physical activity if they don't want to. Supporters of PE, however, believe that it is a crucial element of all-round schooling and our society's well-being. They insist PE in schools remains one of the few places by which the youth can be forced to participate in aerobic exercise.Firstly, they believe that participation in sport promotes health. In fact physical education is a springboard for involvement in sport and physical activities throughout life. Government is, or should be, concerned with the health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. This doesn't have to be through traditional team sports; increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming, gymnastics, dance, etc.Besides, physical education helps to develop character and the mutual（相互的）respect required to succeed in an adult environment. Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others, as they would be expected to do in most business or sporting environments. Sport teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions. It is often the experience of playing on a team together that builds the strongest friendships at school, which endure for years afterwards.Finally, the pursuit for national sporting achievement begins in schools. If schools don't have compulsory PE, it is much harder to pick out, develop and equip athletes to represent the country on a wider stage. However, it's much easier to find suitable individuals with a full sports program in every school.七、翻译句子9、【来源】 2017年上海浦东新区高三二模第72~75题15分翻译句子(1) 正巧这几天有空，去公园散步如何？(happen)(2) 一幅油画赠予了该美术馆，以纪念两个城市间的珍贵友谊。

(B)Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and short passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.A new study predicts that South Korean women will be the first group in the world to have an average lifespan of more than 90 years.Researchers at Imperial College London and the World Health Organization studied the lifespans of people in 35 industrialized countries. Their findings suggest that by 2030 people will be living longer. It also says the gap between men and women could start to close in most countries.According to the study, the increase in life expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements.These gains have led to improved youth nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care, and the development of new medical technologies.The U.S. is behind other developed countries. Americans continued to have one of the lowerlife expectancies among developed countries.The writers of the study said life expectancy increases were smaller partly because of a lack of universal health care in the United States. The study also said problems such as relatively high death rates in children, and high rates of obesity were to blame — in other words, most people are too fat.The study said that, with longer life expectancy, there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long-term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities giving this care. The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built, or health care may need to be provided at home.There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work.With people living longer, they will require more pension or social security payments than earlier generations. The study suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased or plans will need to put in place to transition workers to retirement at a later age.11. Which group will probably be the first to live beyond 90 years old? (A)12. Which is not a factor leading to a lower life expectancy in USA? (D)13. What can be done to deal with the pressures on health services? (A)Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Well, goodness. Thank you. Let me tell you it is a pleasure and an honor to be with all of you today.An d again, let’s take a moment to thank all of those beautiful people sitting behind you all today and standing behind you every day, the folks who brought you into this world – the folks who showed you, with their love, that you belong here.And of course, most of all, to the Spelman College, congratulations! We are so, so proud of you. You didn’t just write a chapter in your own life story. You also became part of the Spelman story – a story that began 130 years ago about 10 miles down the road from where we are today.Over the past four years, you all have been serving your community in every way possible: tutoring kids, bringing meals to seniors, building homes, and so much more. And in so doing, I can promise you that you won’t just enrich their lives, you’ll immeasurably enrich your own lives as well.And I can tell you from my own experience just how rewarding it can be. When I got my law degree, so much to the surprise of my family and friend, I left that secure, high-paying job and eventually became the Executive Director of a non-profit, working to help young people get involved in public service. I was making a lot less money and my office was a lot smaller. But I woke up every morning with a sense of purpose and possibility. I felt myself becoming inspired.Now, I’m not saying that you have to devote your entire career to public service, though I hope that many of you will. But as you climb those career ladders, just remember to reach down and pull others up behind you. That’s what so many folks have done for you all. And now it is your turn to repay the favor.14. Why did the speaker choose to become a member of a non-profit? (D)15. Which statement is true according to the passage? (A)16. What is the speaker most probably doing? (C)Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hello, Peggy. I’m phoning to let you know that my college basketball team are very keen to come over to Finland to take part in the Tampere Student Games.W: Well, that’s great. We’re hoping to make it a really special event this year, as it’s the 80th anniversary of Finnish Student Sport!M: Fantastic! We’re all looking forward to coming. Let me just check – the games start on May 19th, right?W: Oh, that was the temporary plan when you first contacted me, that they’d run from the 19th to the 23rd. But we’ve cut the programme by a day, so now it’ll begin on the 20th, still ending on the 23rd. There’s going to be an opening ceremony on the first evening.M: We don’t want to miss that, do we! And how much is the entry fee for the Games?W: This year it’s gone up from 16 to 18 euros a day per person, I’m afraid, but you get a lot for that.M: What do you mean?W: Well, of course it covers the competition entrance, but you also get three meals a day and even floor space if you want it –we can’t manage beds for everyone!M: Sounds a bit basic to me. Can you recommend a hotel?W: Well, Tampere is quite a big city, so there are a lot of hotels. The Homeland would be convenient if you come by train, or maybe you’d prefer the Hermica, as it’s offering a reduced rate for participants in the games. It’s a very nice hotel.M: And where is it exactly?W: Well, that’s the other good thing from your point of view. It’s in the Hervanta district of Tampere, near the University of Technology.M: And why is that good for us?W: Because all the basket matches are taking place near there.M: Oh, I see.W: Look, why don’t I give you the website address, and then you can look up the programme and find out anything else you need to know.M: Good idea. So, what is it?W: OK, it’s www dot sellgames.M: Brilliant, I’ll have a look now. Thanks, Peggy.W: See you soon, then. Bye, John.17. When will the Tempere Student Games start? (B)18. Which is not included in the entry fee for the Games? (B)19. Which of the following statement is true about the Tampere Student Games? (B)20. Why does Peggy recommend the Hermica to John? (D)。

2017上海高三英语二模完型-浦东Have we reached Peak Trade?Globalization is usually defined as the free movement of people, goods and capital. It’s been the most important __41__ force of modernity. Until the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice as fast as the global economy itself. __42__, thanks to both economies and politics, globalization as we have known it is developing fast.The question is: Have we reached peak trade? If you think of it in terms of the flow of digital data and ideas, no ----it’s actually __43__. ” Indeed, the cross-border flow of digital data ----e-commerce, web searches, online video, machine-to-machine interactions ---- has grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is __44__ to grow much faster than the global economy over the next few years.There’s no doubt globalization has increased wealth at both global and national levels. But free trade can also widen the __45__ gap within countries, in part by created concentrated groups of economic losers. Free trade has made goods and services cheaper for Americans ---- think of all the inexpensive Chinese-made goods at Walmart ----but it hasn’t always __46__ their job prospects.

An estimated 86% of tech-based startups surveyed by Mckinsey now do some cross-border business ----__53__ before the arrival of the Internet, when globalization was dominated by super powers. That means that more of the wealth generated by globalization could flow down to the 80% of the population that hasn’t __54__ as much as it should have.If those individuals feel they are being empowered by open borders and free trade, it could help swing the political pendulum （钟摆）back toward globalization in some form. Despite its laws, it has been an economic force that has lifted more people out of __ 55__ than anything else the world has ever known.41. A. political B. cultural C. economic D. natural42. A.

The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.A new study predicts that South Korean women will be the first group in the world to have an average lifespan of more than 90 years.Researchers at Imperial College London and the World Health Organization studied the lifespans of people in 35 industrialized countries. Their findings suggest that by 2030 people will be living longer. It also says the gap between men and women could start to close in most countries.According to the study, the increase in life expectancy was caused by decreases in deaths from infections and long-term diseases in children and adults. The study says gains in life expectancy are a result of economic improvements.These gains have led to improved youth nutrition, increased access to primary and secondary health care, and the development of new medical technologies.The U.S. is behind other developed countries. Americans continued to have one of the lowerlife expectancies among developed countries.The writers of the study said life expectancy increases were smaller partly because of a lack of universal health care in theUnited States. The study also said problems such as relatively high death rates in children, and high rates of obesity were to blame — in other words, most people are too fat.The study said that, with longer life expectancy, there will also be new pressures on health and social services. The number of people needing long-term care in their old age will increase, which will put stress on available facilities giving this care. The study suggests that either more facilities will need to be built, or health care may need to be provided at home.There will also be additional pressure on pensions and social security. These are programs that provide money to people after they retire from work.With people living longer, they will require more pension or social security payments than earlier generations. The study suggests that either the retirement age will need to be increased or plans will need to put in place to transition workers to retirement at a later age.11. Which group will probably be the first to live beyond 90 years old? (A)12. Which is not a factor leading to a lower life expectancy in USA? (D)13. What can be done to deal with the pressures on health services? (A)Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Well, goodness. Thank you. Let me tell you it is a pleasure and an honor to be with all of you today.An d again, let’s take a moment to thank all of those beautiful people sitting behind you all today and standing behind you every day, the folks who brought you into this world – the folks who showed you, with their love, that you belong here.And of course, most of all, to the Spelman College, congratulations! We are so, so proud of you. You didn’t just write a chapter in your own life story. You also became part of the Spelman story – a story that began 130 years ago about 10 miles down the road from where we are today.Over the past four years, you all have been serving your community in every way possible: tutoring kids, bringing meals to seniors, building homes, and so much more. And in so doing, I can promise you that you won’t just enrich their lives, you’ll immeasurably enrich your own lives as well.And I can tell you from my own experience just how rewarding it can be. When I got my law degree, so much to the surprise of my family and friend, I left that secure, high-paying job and eventually became the Executive Director of a non-profit, working to help young people get involved in public service. I was making a lot less money and my office was a lot smaller. But I woke up every morning with a sense of purpose and possibility.I felt myself becoming inspired.Now, I’m not saying that you have to devote your entire career to public service, though I hope that many of you will. But as you climb those career ladders, just remember to reach down and pull others up behind you. That’s what so many folks have done for you all. And now it is your turn to repay the favor.14. Why did the speaker choose to become a member of a non-profit? (D)15. Which statement is true according to the passage? (A)16. What is the speaker most probably doing? (C)Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hello, Peggy. I’m phoning to let you know that my college basketball team are very keen to come over to Finland totake part in the Tampere Student Games.W: Well, that’s great. We’re hoping to make it a really special event this year, as it’s the 80th anniversary of Finnish Student Sport!M: Fantastic! We’re all looking forward to coming. Let me just check – the games start on May 19th, right?W: Oh, that was the temporary plan when you first contacted me, that they’d run from the 19th to the 23rd. But we’ve cut the programme by a day, so now it’ll begin on the 20th, still ending on the 23rd. There’s going to be an opening ceremony on the first evening.M: We don’t want to miss that, do we! And how much is the entry fee for the Games?W: This year it’s gone up from 16 to 18 euros a day per person, I’m afraid, but you get a lot for that.M: What do you mean?W: Well, of course it covers the competition entrance, but you also get three meals a day and even floor space if you want it –we can’t manage beds for everyone!M: Sounds a bit basic to me. Can you recommend a hotel?W: Well, Tampere is quite a big city, so there are a lot of hotels. The Homeland would be convenient if you come by train, or maybe you’d prefer the Hermica, as it’s offering a reduced rate for participants in the games. It’s a very nice hotel.M: And where is it exactly?W: Well, that’s the other good thing from your point of view. It’s in the Hervanta district of Tampere, near the University of Technology.M: And why is that good for us?W: Because all the basket matches are taking place near there.M: Oh, I see.W: Look, why don’t I give you the website address, and then you can look up the programme and find out anything else you need to know.M: Good idea. So, what is it?W: OK, it’s www dot sellgames.M: Brilliant, I’ll have a look now. Thanks, Peggy.W: See you soon, then. Bye, John.17. When will the T empere Student Games start? (B)18.

Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)(12分)More than one hundred years ago, a boy named Thomas Alva Edison lived in a small Ohio town. Tom was a lively child. He was always taking things apart and putting them together again, or trying to put them together.One day, his father said, “Look at this! Another broken toy!”“Now, don’t be hard on him,”said his mother. “He only wants to see how things work.”But even the mother lost patience with him when he almost burned down the family’s barn（仓库）!Tom was more careful, but it’s hard when you are curious.Then the family moved to Michigan. By now, Tom was old enough to go to school. Unfortunately, he didn’t like to sit still and listen to the teacher or memorize his lessons.Since Tom spent most of his time daydreaming, his teachers thought there was something wrong with him. But he just liked experimenting more than he liked school. Tom’s mother decided to teach him at home. Soon, he loved to read, especially about science.At 12, Tom heard about a job on a train selling candy, newspapers and sandwiches. Hisfather agreed, and so it was settled. Two days later, Tom was at the station to begin his job.Before long, Tom set up a laboratory in the train’s baggage car. When his work was finished, he would experiment.At 16, he got his first real job as a night telegraph operator and station agent. But Tom could never hold a job very long. He was either too tired from studying or too busy experimenting to do his job. So Tom decided to spend more time inventing things. He was stubborn（固执的）, independent and hardworking.Some of Tom’s inventions began to be noticed. Then Tom happened to be in New York at the gold exchange （黄金交易所）when an important machine broke down. T om stepped in, and in an hour or two, he had the machine run perfectly.In the following months, Tom invented a way to improve the machine. The company paid him $40,000 for his invention. “I’m going into business for myself,”said Tom.88. Who was harder on Tom at first, his father or his mother?89. Why did Tom’s mother lose patience with him in the end?90. What did Tom spend most of his time doing when he was at school?91. What was Tom’s job on a train when he was 12?92. How old was Tom when he got his first real job?93. What do you think of Tom? And why?VII. Writing （作文）（共20 分）94.
