2019-2020学年上海市复旦附中浦东分校高三英语期末试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great language master and writer. But he was not the only great master of play writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays,poems and sonnets (十四行诗), Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), A Dream under the Southern bough, and Dream of Handan. The latter three were constructed around a dream narrative, a way through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political limits of that time.Similar to Shakespeare, Tang's success rode the wave of a renaissance (复兴) in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeare'sEngland, Tang's works became hugely popular inChinatoo. During Tang'sChina, his plays were enjoyed performed, and changed. Kunqu Opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southernChinato the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu Opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tang's works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu Opera, and his plays are considered classics of kunqu Opera.While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in common, such e humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.1. Why is Shakespeare mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To describe Shakespeare's anniversary.B. To introduce the existence of Tang Xianzu.C. To explain the importance of Shakespeare.D. To suggest the less popularity of Tang Xianzu.2. What's possibly one of the main theme of Tang's works?A. Social reality.B. Female dreams.C. Human emotions.D. Political environment.3. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A. The influence of Kunqu Opera on Tang's works.B. Tang's success in copying Shakespeare's styles.C. The way Kunqu Opera became a symbol of Chinese culture.D. Tang's popularity for his poetic language and music.BThe Jewish(犹太人）family-had-just finished supper and the woman had placed the dishes in the sink.The kitchen was quite damp and even gloomier than in the main room.It was their third apartment since the start of the war,they had abandoned the other two in a hurry.The woman came back into the room and sat down again at the table.The 3-year-old boy sat with his back straight,his eyes fixed on his father,but it was obvious that he was so sleepy that he could barely sit up.The man was smoking a cigarette.His eyes were blood-shot and he kept blinking in a funny way.This blinking had begun soon after they fled the second apartment.It was late,past ten o'clock and they could have gone to sleep,but first they had to play the game that they had been playing every day for two weeks.Even though the man tried his best and he moved very quickly,the fault was his and not the child's.The boy was.marvelous.Seeing his father put out his cigarette,he opened his blue eyes even wider.The woman,who didn't actually take part in the game, stroked the boy's hair.“We'll play the key game just one more time only today.Isn't that right?"she asked her husband.He didn't answer because he was not sure.They were still two or three minutes off.He arose and walked towards the bathroom door.Then the woman called out softly,“Ding-dong."At the sound of the bell ringing so musically from his mother's lips,the boy jumped up from his chair and ran to the front door,which was separated from the main room by a narrow corridor.“Who's there?"he asked.The woman,remaining in her chair,shut her eyes tight as if feeling a sudden, sharp pain.“I'l1 open up in a minute,I'm just looking for the keys,"the child called out. Then he ran back to the main room,making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut.“Just a minute,I can't find them,I don't know where Mama put them,"he yelled,then dragged the chair acrossthe room,climbed onto it,and reached up to the top of the shelf.“I found them!”he shouted triumphantly.Then he got down from the chair, pushed it back to the table,and calmly walked to the door and opened it.“Shut the door,darling,"the woman said softly."You were perfect.”The child didn't hear what she said.He stood in the middle of the room,staring at the closed bathroom door.“Shut the door, the woman repeated in a tired flat voice.Every evening she repeated the same words,and every evening he stared at the closed bathroom door.At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way.“Well?How did it go?"asked the woman.“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways allright,but then...It's so tight in there that when I turn...And he's got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder."The child didn't take his eyes off him.“Say something to him,"the woman whispered.＂You did a good job,little one,"he said mechanically.“That's right,”the woman said,“you're really doing a wonderful job,darling. You act just like a grown-up.And you do know that if someone should really ring the doorbell when Mama is at work,everything will depend on you?And what will you say when they ask you about your parents?”“Mama's at work.”“And Papa?"He was silent.“And Papa?"the man screamed in terror.The child turned pale.“And Papa?”the man repeated more calmly.“He's dead,”＂the child answered and threw himself at his father,who was standing right beside him,but already long dead to the people who would really ring the bell.4. What does the underlined sentence in Para.5 mean?A. The family needed to practise the game for another 2 or 3 minutes.B. There was still 2 or 3 minutes left before someone knocked at the door.C. They would become too sleepy to play the game 2 or 3 minutes later.D. The father needed 2 or 3 more minutes before the kid opened the door.5. Why did the boy make a lot of noise when he was looking for the key?A. Because he needed to drown out the noise caused by his father.B. Because he was too little and just couldn't control his footsteps.C. Because he was too anxious to find the key to open the door with.D. Because he met many barriers on his way to where the key was.6. In Para.12,why did the mother repeat“shut the door”in a tired,flat voice, instead of the previous soft one?A. She was angry because her son didn't close the door as he had been told to.B She felt anxious because she knew her husband would be annoyed at the boy again.C. She was disappointed because the boy's movement betrayed again where her husband was.D. She was impatient because she was asked to repeat these words again and again every evening.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Scary NightB. The Key GameC. My Father Is DeadD. An Innocent BoyCTofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro, an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was "polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him."While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiarwithcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" a national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide attention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.8. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?A. Add them to fuel.B. Feed them to animals.C. Burn or bury them.D. Make them into cakes.9. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?A. It lasted 15 years.B. It was signed by Treuer.C. It was made in about 1998.D. It was broken by Del Oro.10. What was Treuer's finding?A. Orange peels contain much fibre.B. Orange peels can make soil richer.C. Orange peels rot away in a short time.D. Orange waste ruined the national park.11. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?A. Disapproving.B. Positive.C. Worried.D. Admirable.DPhotographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken theU.K.resident on “star walking” trips toIcelandand into theArctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard,star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天体）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map. Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment. Space Place posts monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.In the United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try GlacierNational Park in Montana.If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the International Astronomical Union are useful for finding resources by area.At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.“With all of the chaos（混乱）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who hasbeen exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”12. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.A. going to an observatoryB. looking at stars in mountainsC. combining hiking and stargazingD. setting up a telescope in the backyard13. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodiesB. it is good for physical and mental healthC. they can enjoy the journey without crowdsD. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies14. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.A. prepare a pair of strong bootsB. start by observing with telescopesC. join an astronomy club or an observatoryD. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps15. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. excite people’s interest in star walkingB. recommend some places for star walkingC. explain the health benefits of star walkingD. introduce the preparations for star walking第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Do you rush around trying to do things as quickly as possible? Or do you deal your work at a slow , but steady(稳定的)pace? Whether you approach life like the tortoise or the hare can make a difference in the results you'll see.Some will say that you should avoid being like the hare. After all. he was overconfident and finally lost the race. You mayalso have heard teachers say from time to time that "haste makes waste”. But what does that mean? Most people think it meant that the faster you do something,the more likely it is that you'll make mistakes. Many teaches wantyouto approach your schoolwork thoughtfully and carefully.But does haste always make waste? Not necessarily ! Some people are able to work quickly while also maintaining(保持)a high level of quality in all that they do. Recent research, however, is making the idea of haste making waste seem more believableResearchers found that the brain changes into a special mode(模式)when forced to make rapid decisions. Overall, there appears to be a trade-off between speed and correctness. As the brain makes decisions more quickly, those decisions are usually built on less information, which often leads to a greater likelihood of mistakes.When you approach things like the tortoise. you methodically and steadily work towards your goal. You might not arrive there first, but then again you might! In any case, you're likely to make fewer mistakes and you might just enjoy the journey more than the bare.Goals are great to work towards, but often the achievements aren't what we remember. In the end, the most meaningful and important parts of our lives are the journeys we went on , not the destination we reached. So be the hare when you have to, but always remember that the slow and steady journey is what you’ll remember and treasure the most.4. Why does the author mention the story in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To show its popularity.C. To suggest its importance.D. To advise readers to read it.5. For what purpose do teachers often say “haste makes waste to students?A. To ask them not to waste their time.B. To tell them it is OK to make mistakes.C. To ask them to avoid making silly mistakes.D. To tell them they should check their schoolwork.6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the brain collects the information it needs.B. When the decision made by the brain is correct.C. Why the quickly-made decision is often unwise.D. What the relationship between lime and results is.7. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Finishing the race is often a victory for everyone.B. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.C. The journey to every destination starts with a small step.D. A destination is important because it guides us on the journey.C“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.8. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？A. Video games make you happier.B. Video games make your brain grow.C. Video games play a key role in memory.D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.9. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？A. He was against them.B. He was hopeful of them.C.He was in favour of them.D. He was uncertain about them.10. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with？A. Video games fix attention problems.B. Video games make kids do well in exams.C. Video games encourage violent behaviour.D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.11. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？A. To remind people to avoid video games.B. To show the disadvantages of video games.C. To help people learn more about video games.D.To ask people to make good use of video games.DAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举). But that didn’t stop Dekker，who was born on a yacht during a seven-year world voyage undertaken by her parents.Dekker doesn’t mind that she won’t hold an official record. She says it was a personal goal, and she is happy she achieved it.“I am not disappointed at all that Guinness World Record won’t recognize my attempt.” Dekker wrote on her website. “I did not start on my trip to achieve any record…I did it just for myself.”12. Dekker wasn’t allowed to sail at the age of 13 because .A. people were concerned about her safetyB.she didn’t learn any sailing skills wellC. she had to continue her study at schoolD. she didn’t have enough patience for long trips13. What does the underlined word “accomplished” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Failed.B. Completed.C. Continued.D. Started.14. In 2009 records for youngest sailors were canceled in order to .A. set a higher sailing standard for teen sailorsB. stop children entering Guinness World RecordsC. encourage parents to sail with their childrenD. prevent children making dangerous attempts15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. A New Guinness World Record in SailingB. A New Sailing Standard for Teen SailorsC. A Teen Girl Sailing Alone Aroundthe WorldD. The Youngest Sailor in Guinness World Records第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Note that there is one word more than you need.milestone: the moment that complex eukaryotic(真核的) life appeared on Earth.Eukaryotes(真核生物) have large cells with complex (34) structures. While the first eukaryotic organisms were all single-celled, they gave (35) to all multicellular life, including fungi, plants and animals.Leiming Yin at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology in China and his colleagues found the fossils in a set of rocks called the Hutuo Group in the Wutai mountains. Previous studies have shown that the rocks were (36) down between 2.15 and 1.95 billion years ago.Experts gave the fossils a cautious (37) .It is reasonable that they are eukaryotes, says Malgorzata Moczydtowska-Vidal at Uppsala University in Sweden. “I could go for them being eukaryotic,” says Anette Hogstrom at the ArcticUniversity of Norway.However, the (38) is solely based on the shapes of the fossils, says Yuangao Qu at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sanya.“If more geochemical data could be obtained, it would be more (39) ."If confirmed to be eukaryotes, the fossils are arguably the oldest known. Previously the oldest (40) eukaryotes were around 1.5 billion years old.Some researchers have claimed to have found (41) older eukaryotes: one 2017 study reported fungi, which are eukaryotes, in rocks 2.4 billion years old. However, these older microfossils are rare and poorly (42) , and it isn't clear that they are really eukaryotes, says Hogstrom. They could be bacteria that look superficially like fungi, for instance. The only certain thing is that these microbes (43) in a marine environment with relatively high oxygen levels in the surface layers.III.Reading Comprehension (47’)Section A (15’)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Raise a Resilient KidLife is unpredictable but resilience gives us the ability to thrive in both good times and difficult ones. It means being able to carry on when faced with emotional or physical challenges and (44) to changing circumstances. (45) , resilience is not a trait you’re born either with or without. It is a skill set you can help your kids learn so they can use it for the rest of their lives.1.Embrace second, third, and last placeNo one is the best at everything or needs to be. "When you learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, that’s a major step to thriving in the world," says Kenneth R. Ginsburg, M.D., the codirector of the Center for Parent and Teen Com munication at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the (46) of books including Building Resilience in Children and Teens. The best way to help kids with that lesson: “Let them explore and even (47) sometimes,” says Katherine Rosenblum, Ph.D., a clinical and developmental psychologist at the University of Michigan. The key is to (48) the effort it takes along the way so they’ll see the inherent value of hard work (49) the prize at the end. “It’s not about celebrating successes or academic achievements—we’re talking about celebrating the (50) we want our kids to have and the way we want them to behave,” Dr. Ginsburg says. Praise your child for trying out for the school play before you know the results; show support for baseball practice, not just games. 2.Let kids process (51) feelingsIt’s hard to see your child upset when he or she makes a mistake at a recital or a sports game or has a conflict with a peer. (52) , experiencing and working through tough emotions helps kids develop the ability to tolerate them down the road. Your support is essential. Let kids feel sad, angry, and disappointed sometimes, says Dayana Jimenez, Psy. D., a New York City-based clinical psychologist who (53) in working with children. If they start learning to manage those feelings in little bouts along the way, they’ll be better equipped to (54) the stress of bigger disappointments later.3.Encourage kids to help othersIn the (55) times, resilience might require reaching out to another person and asking for a helping hand. Developing social skills early is (56) _ to being able to ask for the help we will all need at some point. Dr. Ginsburg says. By (57) and helping others, kids learn how good it feels to be on the giving end; then, when they’re in a position to be on the receiving end, they won’t feel (58) to ask.44.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Thousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Pro tection Act (COPPA), according to a new large•scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's data collection efforts. “This is a market failure,” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1,000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for children's apps. The researchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data security measures laid out by COPPA.Some of the apps in question included Disney's “Where's My Water？”, Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The fi ndings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPA compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual viola tions. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law,” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we ar e compliant with protection laws,” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are taking the researcher's report very seriously and looking into their findings”, critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data tracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was abl e to generate revenues off of children's apps,” said Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing_its_nose_at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”59.Which one of the following statements is wrong according to the second paragraph?A.The potential violations came in the same form.B.The quantity of the potential violations of COPPA was very large.C.Many children’s apps use tracking software to collect private information.D.Some children’s apps fail to use standard data security measures laid out by COPPA.60.How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?A.Disney claimed to strictly obey privacy laws.B.Gameloft questioned the validity of the study.C.Duolingo planned to adopt strict data collection policies.D.Google admitted to the charge and promised to do more.61.What does the underlined phrase “thumbing its nose at” probably mean?A.observing.B. disrespecting.C. prohibiting.D. introducing.62.The purpose of the passage is to ．A.charge app companies with the violation of COPPArm readers of different ways to violate child privacy lawsC.illustrate the growing criticism of app's data collection functionD.highlight the urgency of strengthening enforcement of COPPA(B)When Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his only dream was that he could play outside.Brody was born premature at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he can't spend any time outside and he'll get burn blisters (水疱) on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of things he can't do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody can't eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I can't even count the number of surgeries he's had since he was born,” Brody's mother said. “He's spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brody's request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manager of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brody's home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make thetent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go into water because of his backpack. So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids’ pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like he's out at the beach.Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when Brody says ‘Can I go out and play?’, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time "outside” i n the tent.It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could.63.What can we learn about Brody?A.He can't communicate with others.B. He can't stand on his feet.C. He can't be given surgeries any more.D. He can't be exposed to sunlight.64.Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream wasA.inspiring and heart-warmingB. simple but incredibleC. challenging but worthwhileD. difficult and unachievable65.Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?A.To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.B.To prove that the design company was responsible.C.To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.D.To emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest.66.What does the story mainly tell us?A.One good turn deserves another.B. Tough life experience may result in success.C.A helping hand makes a difference.D. All things are difficult before they are easy.(C)The year 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines which offer immunity(免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an internationaleffort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.67.What do we know about the influenza in 1918?A.It swept across the whole Europe.B. It killed the largest number of people.C. No one survived the first few days.D. It struck only young and healthy people.68.Why is influenza difficult to protect against?A.It spreads too rapidly.B. It is quite easy to catch.C. It’s hard to judge the form of virus.D. No vaccine is available.69.What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N1 in 2009?A.The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.B. It was the most serious in recent years.C. It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.D. New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.70.What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?A.The development is quite costly.B. It can protect against all forms of flu.C. It will be used all over the world.D. It will soon come into use in 2019.(D)Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate."The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades."This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success, " said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops. "71.What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A.The contributors to children's early attention.B.The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.C.The predictors of children's academic success.D.The determinants of children's development of social skills.72.What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A.Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B.Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.C.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D.There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.73.What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A.They care less about grades.B. They are teachers' favorites.C. They are easy to get on with.D. They do better academically.74.What can we conclude from the Duke study?A.Children's success is related to their learning environment.B.School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C.Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D.An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.第II 卷(60’)Section A (20’)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

But the martial art is becoming popular among younger adults too. “We call our students seniors in training, (2) the more you do it, the more it will prepare you as you age" says David Goldberg, leader of the Tri-State Branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society.

The way we tell stories has naturally changed since Aristotle defined the rules of tragedy about 2,500 years ago. According to him, the role of storytelling is to imitate life and make us feel emotions. And that’s exactly what storytelling as we know it has done very well since then. But there is an aspect of life___1___storytelling could never really reproduce. It is the notion of choices.

I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging.

The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn’t understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her dyslexia (阅读障碍) and knew she’d be able to spell on the man’s palm(手掌) by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she wrote, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said. So for the next hour, that was what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future (she wants to be a politician). Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.“Clara was amazing,” a flight attendant told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such a warm-hearted girl.” Cook’s reaction: “Best trip I’ve ever had.”Looking for ways to offer help? Start with this random(随时的) act of kindness that can change someone’s life right now.8. The flight attendant asked an urgent question because ________.A. the passenger was traveling aloneB. the plane was in a dangerous situationC. the passenger asked for something suddenlyD. none of the flight attendants could communicate with the passenger9. Why did Clara talk about her plans for the future?A. Because the flight attendant asked her to do so.B. Because she needed topics to go on talking with Cook.C.

Warm-hearted and brave.C. careful and calm.D. opened-minded and confident.11. The passage is mainly written to ________.A. tell a touching story of an amazing girlB. show the great importance of American Body LanguageC. encourage readers to give a hand kindly and randomlyD. show how kind the flight attendant was to help CookDThe AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans. The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304. Besides, computers and AI have already defeated humans, for example in games such as chess. However, it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.A large number of call center employees, often in developing countries, may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor. Soon when you phone a company for information the conversation will go like this: “ We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now. We value your call. Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you. There are just 12 callers ahead of you.” A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.Si Luo, who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s AI research group noted that questions such as “What causes rain?” can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots. Si Luo said, “ We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service, museum tutorials, and online responses to inquiries from patients, freeing human efforts in a new way.”Si Luo’s team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi, a mobile customer service chatbot. Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibaba’s platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. The new AI robots could answer consumers’ questions as they did the Stanford questions. The robots would look for the answers from prepared information. However, there are limits to what the system will be able to do. If questions do not have clear-cut answers, or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical, the robot may not be able to deal with them.12. What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?A. It has been tested in some areas.B. It has become popular since January.C. It has offered a special learning style.D. It has made people interested in reading.13. What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?A. They should have better language skills.B. They may replace humans in some fields.C. They need to be customized to serve customers.D. They will be widely used in developing countries.14. How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Curious.D.

And I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees （被提名者）or anyone in this room (21) we share the same love, the love of film.But I think the greatest gift it’s given me, and many of us in this room, (22) (be) the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless. And this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life. I don’t know what I’d be (23) it.I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the (24) (distress) issues that we are facing collectively. I think at times we're made (25) (feel), that we champion different causes. But for me, I see commonality. I think, (26) we're talking about gender inequality or racism or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Art occurs in many forms: music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, cinema, and literature, among others. Works of art can make people feel moved, even to the 31 of tears. In the case of Stendhal syndrome, however, this feeling is so 32 that a person can experience a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sweating, or fainting. It may even require hospitalization. In the Italian city of Florence, numerous visitors viewing the 33 Renaissance art there haveexperienced this and have required medical 34 . Though not professionally recognized, this condition— now 35 to as Stendhal syndrome —does exist.While great art is found in every civilization, Florence has been especially 36 . A small city with a historical center, it is internationally admired for its amazing _ 37 of Renaissance art. Florence in the 15th and 16th centuries attracted the talent of many geniuses: artists, scientists, and authors were welcomed here. Some of the greatest Western works of art can be found in Florence, such as the statue of David by Michelangelo, The Birth of Venus by Botticelli, and the frescoes（壁画）by Giotto in the Basilica of Santa Croce. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci left works here. Galileo Galilei and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried here.The syndrome is named after Stendhal, a French author who visited Florence in 1817. He described his experience of being fascinated by the historic and artistic power of the city in one ofhis books. Though the term Stendhal syndrome was not 38 until 1979 by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini, the illness had already had a long history. Patients usually recover within days of their attacks without any 39 drug other than rest and quiet. For them,the 40 of viewing the power and beauty of Florence is a brief trip to a hospital.III.Reading Comprehension（45%）Section A（15%）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you examine the birth certificate of every soccer per in the last World Cup tournament, youwill most likely find the excellent players were born in the earlier months of the year. If you then examine the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup, you will find this phenomenon even more 41 .What might account for this strange phenomenon? Some guess a certain astrological sign (星座) 42 superior soccer skills; others maintain that winter-born babies have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina (耐力). But Anderson Ericsson, a 58-year-old professorwho is called the expert on experts, believes in neither. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved 43 training a person to hear and repeat a random series of numbers. “With the fi rst subject, after 20 hours of training, his digital span rose to 20”, Ericsson recalls, “and after about200 hours of training he could repeat up to 80 numbers.”This success, coupled with later research showing memory itself is not 44 determined,led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is a cognitive exercise, which means whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are45 by how well each person encodes the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as 46 practice.It involves more than simply repeating a task —playing a C-minor scale 100 times, 47 , orhitting tennis serves until your shoulder pops out of its socket. 48 , it involves stepping outside your comfort zone, setting specific and well-defined goals, focusing on 49 areas of expertise, obtaining immediate feedback from professionals and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying high achievers in a wide range of50 , including soccer, golf, chess, piano playing and darts. They gather all the data they canand make a rather shocking statement: the trait we commonly call talent is highly 51 . And yes, expert performers are nearly always made.Ericsson’s formula seems appealing to many tiger parents: “practice makes perfect”is naturally 52 to genetic determination. By 53 innate ability as insignificant, many are confident they can make a concert-level pianist or an Olympic figure skater of their kids as long as they push them hard enough. Ericsson, 54 , believes what parents should learn from the science of expertise is not the effect of logging thousands of hours, but how to get kids to 55 the importance and challenge of effective practice.41. A. understandable B. misleading C. appealing D. noticeable42. A. promises B. improves C. compromises D. masters43. A. numbers B. subjects C. memory D. practice44. A. physically B. genetically C. fundamentally D. psychologically45. A. overshadowed B. demonstrated C. strengthened D. produced46. A. enormous B. deliberate C. desperate D. persistent47.

A. dismissing B. lacking C. recognizing D. highlighting54. A. likewise B. therefore C. besides D. however55. A. study B. practice C. reflect D. embraceSection B（22%）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ALast July, Angela Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmartshopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her nails. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy（脑瘫）, was turned away. The salon (which is not owned by Walmart), she says, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly do the job given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody,” Harr is told ABC News, “She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?”Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” Having found a table for two, Harris gently took Peter’s hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.“I was a little nervous and was shaking because I didn’t want to mess her nails up,” Harris admitted. “I told her she’s a blessing to anybody, not just me. She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I ha ve.”Watching it all with amazement and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl’s day!”Peters, who runs a poetry website, harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong, we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that those with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”56.Why was Peters declined when she wanted to have her nails painted?A.She insisted on sitting in a wheelchair.B.She was not a regular customer of the salon.C.Her hands shook involuntarily due to disability.D.There was no need for her to have nails painted.57.It can be inferred from “a kindred spirit” in Paragraph 2 that .A.Peters was in high spirits just like others around her.B.Peters was approached with special attention and care.C.Peters was more tolerant of the denial than normal people.D.Peters was no different from the people around her.58.In Paragraph 4, Harris referred to Angela Peters as “a blessing” because.A.Peters deserved to be happy and be treated kindly.B.Harris was reminded why she should be grateful.C.Harris felt obliged to offer her a hand on a voluntary basisD.Peters got her nails done despite the previous rejection.59.What may well be Angela Peters’ guiding principle in life?A.Beauty is about having a pretty mind, a pretty soul, as well as pretty poetry.B.Forgive others who have wronged us, and we are likely to enjoy our life more.C.Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.D.Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.BGuaranteed!

ReadingC. SpeakingD. WritingCFinancial regulations in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing. The main purpose of this “clawback” rule is to hold bankers responsible for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution. Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations.“Short-termism” or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies,says the Bank of England’s top economist, Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like “Children who pick the strawberries out of their pudding to eat them at once” rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.The average time for holding a stock in both the United States and Britain, he notes, has dropped from seven years to seven months in recent decades. Transient(短期的) investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hold back a firm’s efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty. This has been called “quarterly capitalism”.In addition, new digital technologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities( 股票), quicker use of information, and thus shortens attention spans in financial markets. “There seems to be an advantage of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term investing,” said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in speech this week.In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delay performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year, slightly helping reduce “short-termism.” In its latest survey of CEO pay, The Wall Street Journal finds that “a substantial part” of executive pay is now tied to performance.Much more could be done to encourage “long-termism,” such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure(披露) of stock acquisitions. In France, shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes earn more voting rights in a company.Within companies, the right compensation design can provide motivation for executives to think beyond their own time at the company and on behalf of all shareholders. Britain’s new rule is a reminder to bankers that society has an interest in their performance, not just for the short term but for the long term.63.According to Paragraph 1, one reason for imposing the new rule is the .A.enhance banker’s sense of responsibilityB.help corporations achieve larger profitsC.build a new system of financial regulationD.guarantee the bonuses of top executives64.It is argued that the influence of transient investment on public companies can be .A.indirectB. negativeC. favorableD. temporary65.The US and France examples in paragraphs 5 and 6 are used to illustrate .A.the obstacles to preventing “short-termism”.B.the significance of long-term thinking.C.the approaches to promoting “long-termism”D.the popularity of short-term thinking.66.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Failure of Quarterly CapitalismB.Patience as a Corporate VirtueC.Decisiveness Required of Top ExecutivesD.Frustration of Risk-taking BankersSection C（8%）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It may be impersonal.B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily becomedisengaging.C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.D.It may harm your mental health.E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.Possible Limitations of Online LearningIf eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:1. It may be a "solo" act.It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates.Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 672. 68However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.3.It requires self-discipline.If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 694.Possible lack of control.However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 70 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got al l that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.IV.Summary Writing（10%）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate( 天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.After their attempt to test it in bind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees weretrained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile( 触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.V.Translation（15%）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.这公司推广的新电子设备无法满足本地学生的需要。

After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not e. Finally, I gathered some courage.I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their progra ms.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly. I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading. That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, public speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I e again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was fee ling fortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering this presentation successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educate s others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self-Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills. This has bee a passion with me. I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step.24. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

His aim was to observe the natural world in places 1 had not been studied in much detail. Almost 200 years later, another mission, the Darwin 200, has invited a team of conservationists to retrace back the Beagle’s journey.HMS Beagle’s mission was to m ap the harbours of South America. Darwin was invited along 2 (survey) the natural world. His observations on the Galapagos Islands, around 560 miles off the coast of Ecuador, changed the way Darwin saw nature, 3 (lead) to Darwin’s most famous work: his theory of evolution (进化论). This explained 4 species change over time to adapt to their environments, a process called natural selection. It has been described as “ 5 (big) single idea in the history of human thought”.What is Darwin 200’s mission?

In the title character, Santiago, Hemingway describes one of the most distinguished examples in American 11 of an individual looking deep within to work up the courage necessary to get through the achievements and sad events that life presents.Alone on the sea, Santiago continuously 12 to find hope in several seemingly hopeless situations. The old man illustrates Hemingway’s ideal of 13 “grace under pressure”, as he refuses to give in to the enormous obstacles (障碍) presented by the sea. Relying on memories of his youth, Santiago finds the 14 to physically and emotionally carry on throughout the story.After catching the great marlin (马林鱼) Santiago realizes he is unable to quickly kill the fish, and it proceeds to pull him farther out to sea. Yet, throughout the battle between man and fish the old man begins to recognize a(n) 15 between him and the marlin, repeatedly referring to it as his brother. Both the old man and the fish are only insignificant among the 16 creatures at sea, joined together by the fact that they are at the mercy of the sea.The fish, therefore, changes from merely being Santiago’s prey (猎物) into a reflection of the old man’s 17 and physical state. When the sharks damage the dead marlin hanging off the side of the boat as Santiago struggles to sail home, the old man fights them off as if they were 18 him. Only when the marlin’s body has been entirely eaten away does Santiago give up, knowing he “was 19 now finally”.Although the old man seemingly fails once the sharks steal his prize fish, they cannot take away the fact that Santiago has done the unthinkable by staying with and catching a fish “bigger than he had ever heard of”. In spite of not successfully bringing t he fish back, Santiago fights with 20 — first to catch the marlin, then to protect his fish from the sharks — and in doing so declares his humanity by remaining resilient (坚韧的) in the face of achievements and sad events.5 Ways to Determine Website ReliabilityFor every trustworthy website, there is tons of information that’s inaccurate, unreliable or just crazy. For the inexperienced journalist or researcher, such sites can _________ a wide range of possible problems. With that in mind, here are five ways to tell if a website is _________.● Look for Established InstitutionsThe internet is full of websites that were _________ five minutes ago. What you want are sites associated with _________ institutions that have been around for a while and have a proven track record of reliability. Such sites may include those run by government agencies, nonprofit organization or universities.● Consult Sites with Expertise (专门知识)You wouldn’t go to the hospital to have your car repaired. This is an obvious point: _________ websites that specialize in the kind of information you’re seeking. _________, if you’re writing a story on a flu outbreak, check out medical websites, such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.● _________ Commercial SitesSites run by companies and business—their websites usually end in. com—are often trying to sell you something. And if they’re trying to sell you something, chances are whatever information they’re presenting will be tilted (偏向) _________ their product. That’s not to say commercial sites should be _________ entirely. But be cautious.● Check the ____________As a reporter, you need the most up-to-date information available, so if a website seems old, it’s probably best to keep distance from it. One way to check: Look f or a “last ____________” date on the page or site.● Check the LinksRespected ____________ often link to each other. You can find out which other websites link to the site you’re researching by conducting a link-specific Google search. Enter the following text into the Google search field, ____________ “[WEBSITE]” with the domain (域名) of the site you’re researching: link: http://www.[WEBSITE].com. For example, link: .The search ____________ will show you which websites link to the one y ou’re researching.

Foke had realized that for a long time, there had only been 26 letters in the English alphabet. He had referred to another alphabet, called the phonetic alphabet (音标字母表) — which is like an alphabet for sounds — and came across a symbol that aroused his interest. It looks like an upside-down, lowercase “e” (“ə”) and represents the sound, “uh,” like the noise you make when you’re confused. It is called the “schwa”. Foke thought it might be time for a new letter to be added.Jerrold had a good reason for wanting to add a new letter to the English alphabet. He thought that if English got a new letter, then people might be able to make new words. He reasoned that if people made new words, they might be able to communicate better.Jerrold began telling everyone he knew about the schwa. He requested that friends help him make new words using the schwa. People would use the schwa to make an “uh” sound in the word. His friends thought this was a pretty good idea.Jerrold lived in a hotel in downtown Detroit. Every day, when he went down to the lobby (大厅) someone he knew would tell him a new word he’d made. In an effort to spread the schwa still farther, Jerrold began to spend some of his days standing in Campus Martius Plaza, with a sign that said “Have you heard about the schwa?” He liked to share some of the words he and his friends had made, and then invite these people to make their own schwa-based words. Some people did so enthusiastically, while others were more doubtful about the schwa’s potential. When people asked Jerrold where the schwa should go in the alphabet, he’d always say, “In the front.” When people asked him why, he’d say, “Because that’s where it belongs.”Because of Jerrold’s work, people were encouraged to make their own words, whether using the schwa or not. His goal of increasing communication between different people remained one that was greatly valued.36. According to the passage, Jerrold’s unusual idea was to ________.A．develop an interest in language B．make a confusing noise in publicC．introduce a new word to his friend D．add a letter to the English alphabet37. Jerrold encouraged people to use the schwa mainly because ________.A．it would catch on in England very soon B．people were reluctant to make new wordsC．it might allow people to communicate better D．there were things for which English had no word38. Jerrold’s work can be described as ________.A．valueless B．confusing C．inspiring D．unreasonableThroughout history, humans have come up with ways to entertain themselves using objects such as cards, counters, and boards. Over thousands of years, these have evolved (进化) into the games we know today, from traditional sets with simple rules and basic pieces, all the way to modern electronic consoles (see the picture attached on the right-hand side) with advanced technology and lifelike interactive graphics (图形).Strategy game Chess39. Which of the four choices best matches the picture on the right?A．B．C．D．40. The underlined word “forerunner” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A．follower B．pioneer C．winner D．loser41. The passage is likely to be an excerpt from ________.A．Cultures of Asia B．Playing GamesC．20th-century Fashion D．Scientific InspirationI started participating in student journalism when I was in high school. And when I started, I really just saw my articles as more fun versions of the academic essays I was writing every day in class. It wasn’t really until an article I wrote in March 2020, that I really understood the power of expressing my voice through journalism, and the unique appeal and responsibility of being both a student and a journalist.Most of the things reported on in student publications directly or indirectly affect the journalists writing about them. This differs from mainstream publications (刊物), who often have the privilege (特权) to objectively cover things that they have no connection with. Student journalists, on the other hand, often find themselves trying t o put on a different “hat” when it comes to reporting, but in my eyes part of the magic of being a student journalist is that despite putting on a different “hat”, it’s still the same you.We know what is important to report on because we are constantly surrounded by the student voice. An Irish Times or Independent reporter would never know about the burden of high rents, or why so many campus spaces are not accessible, or feel the fears of examination changes in light of artificial intelligence. Students k now what students care about, and what issues aren’t getting the attention they deserve.I’ve always been drawn to comment articles, particularly because it’s a place I feel my voice holds a special significance, and one where my words and my articles come together to represent me. Opinion pieces are unique, in that they are the only article format that doesn’t have to be entirely objective. I, and many other comment writers I chat to, find this freeing. It’s a relaxing experience towork out an important issue from your own viewpoint and even with your own frustration (挫败、失意) or praise, and it feels especially personal.We need to protect student journalists, but we also need to expand the field we can cover in student journalism. The student voice is power ful because it is diverse, and it’s critical to reflect their voice. The press also has an important role in defending itself. Freedom of information is one of the most sacred (神圣的) things we have, and one that we as students need to protect.42. How are student journalists different from the mainstream publications?A．They can hardly identify issues relevant to peers.B．They have an objective viewpoint on the issues.C．They report on issues directly affecting them.D．They prioritize objectivity over other things43. The writer most likely agrees that ________.A．student voice may always lead us to making unfair judgmentsB．student reporters can keep their individuality when playing various rolesC．student articles offer an entertaining twist on traditional academic essaysD．student journalists should focus on the topics within their professional fields44. By giving the example of An Irish Times, the writer intends to ________.A．inform readers of the high rentsB．attach importance to student voiceC．praise mainstream media for their effortsD．bring up the topic of artificial intelligence45. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Freedom of speech and the pressB．The importance of student journalismC．The responsibility of mainstream mediaD．Embracing the diversity of student voice46. 每当有人靠近这只宠物猫，它就会跑进草丛躲起来。
2019-2020学年上海市复旦附中浦东分校高三英语下学期期中试卷及答案
2019-2020学年上海市复旦附中浦东分校高三英语下学期期中试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BOnline education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.4. What benefits the development of online education?A. Teachers’ good teaching ability.B. Lack of traditional classrooms.C. Learners’ access to free courses.D. The rapid advance of technology.5. Why did the author take a student for example?A. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.B. To persuade learners of traditional education.C. To explain the growing trend of online education.D. To predict the future of the teaching career.6. What caused the author to know more about online education?A. The appetite for knowledge.B. The professional responsibilities.C. The requirement of research.D. The colleagues’ encouragement.7. What is the author’s attitude to online education?A. Carefree.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Unwilling.CBabies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the universityThe scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words."The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work."The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion."This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.8. How did the researchers get the findings?A. By interacting with babies.B. By asking babies to vocalize.C. By analyzing relevant recordings.D. By referring to the previous statistics.9. What does he underlined word "it"in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Infants' eye contact.B. Infants' larger vocabulary.C. The response from caregivers.D. The best predictor of vocabulary.10. What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour?A. I's easy to perform.B. It's complex to understand.C. It's difficult to copy.D. It's interesting to video.11. What might further studies be on?A. Children's academic progress.B. Children's growing environment.C. Children's potential physical development.D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges.DGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block outdisease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king ofEnglandin 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor inEuropelived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry IV, king ofFrance, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit(优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.12. The kings ofFranceandEnglandin the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD. They believed disease could be spread in public baths13. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. CuriousB. AfraidC. ApprovingD. Uninterested14. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By making comparison.C. By providing examplesD. By following the order of importance.115. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. educate childrenB. attract volunteersC. comfort the elderlyD. encourage the disabledCIn 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads（有效载荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth,ready to be reused for another flight.For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip（芯片）with 256 threads（线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue（脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.8. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do?A. Launch big satellites.B. Reach distant moons.C. Move around our planet.D. Study the universe.9. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?A. How they'll be set up.B.

Those who own great wealth.B. Those who are physically disabled.C. Those who travel internationally.D. Those who do research on plants.11. In which publication is this article most likely to appear?A. The Journal of Environmental Studies.B. Advances in Business and Technology.C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News,D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.DRock and pop hitmaker Jim Steinman, who wrote and composed music for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and more, died Monday in Danbury, Connecticut. He was 73. Steinman's brother Billconfirmed that thecause of death was kidney (肾) failure.A statement posted on Steinman's Facebook page read, “It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”Steinman's wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for many artists in a variety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he's worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated (提名) for four Grammys, and won Album of the Year for his work on Dion's 1996 smash,Falling Into You.Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college, writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine, which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp. After graduating, Steinman worked at the Public Theater (which was established by Papp). In 1973, Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinman's song “Happy Ending”, which became Steinman's first commercially released tune. That same year, the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf, and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship. The two began working on Meat Loaf's solo album,Bat Out of Hell, in the early 70s, but it wouldn't be released until 1977. It wasn't until about one year later — after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live— that the album became a hit.“There is no other songwriter ever like him,” Meat Loaf said. “I can never repay him. He has been such an influence, in fact, the biggest influence on my life, and I learned so much from him that there would be no way I could ever repay Mr. Jim Steinman.”12.

But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-my father and mother and brothers and sister--and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees--literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.4. What can we say about the author’s family?A. They enjoyed traveling abroad.B. They were library frequenters.C. They were very fond of walking.D. They led a perfectly quiet life.5. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.B. How she conducted science experiments.C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees.D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time.6. What opinion does the author hold on books?A. Book titles can sometimes be misleading.B. Science books are as interesting as novels.C. The first few paragraphs of a book are attractive.D. Books seem duller when read in libraries than at home.7. How would the author describe Little Women?A. It helped her to discover her true character.B. It made her forget about food and sleep.C. It inspired confidence in her.D. It kept her absorbed.CMany teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life isfabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.8. What is the text mainly about?A. What causes teens’ nervousness.B. How to deal with teens’ anxiety.C. What a view of life means to people.D. How to treat social media appropriately.9. What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Wonderful.B. Encouraging.C. Anxious.D. Doubtful.10. Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A. To draw teachers’ attention.B. To show teachers’ mental problems.C. To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.D. To show adults have more problems than teens.11. What should parents do to help their children out?A. Try to meet their expectations.B. Help them with their homework.C. Give them more free time to play sports.D. Allow them to solve their own problems in life.DTwo young brothers fromMalden.Massachusettswere in the spotlight Thursday after being named “heroes" by a national organization that recognizes young people doing great things. For the Bennett brothers, the goal of their work is nothing less than helping researchers find a cure for cancer. And their inspiration came from a friend.Thirteen-year-old Hany Bennett and his nine-year-old brother Heath run their business out of their family kitchen. "We're making lip balm（润唇膏），"Harry says. They got the idea two years ago when their friend, Timmy, was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer. brothers wanted to do something. We learned that cancer patients（lips and skin can get really dry because of chemotherapy（化疗），Hany says.A light bulb went off in both of their young heads,and " Bennett Brothers Balm was born. "We make lip balm, which is kind of like our main product/ says Heath. They also make and sell different body balms, all natural, all handmade, while the profits benefit cancer research.

But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on.At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough strength to ge t myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might e your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.Just take each day as it es, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.24. How did the author deal with his depression at first?A. He turned to his old friends for help.B. He talked about it with his parents.C. He put up with it by himself.D. He read many articles about it.25. How did street dancing benefit the author?A. It helped him find a good job.B. It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.C. It let him find many true friends.D. It cheered him up and made him feel positive.26. What does the author suggest people do when they feel down?A. Always be confident in themselves.B. Find someone or something to rescue them.C. Wait for help to e patiently.D. Accept everything that life sends their way,27. How might the author feel about his future?A. Hopeful.B. Fearful.C. Satisfied.D. Uncertain.CRecently, American President Trump announced his budget. One of the budgets would cut all funding to the Institute of Museum and Library services and libraries across the United States. However, as far as I'm concerned, we need to save our libraries.Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They encourage literacy (识字）with summer programs. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. Without them, where will kids with no Internet at home do their homework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We need them so that kids can grow up with a place, other than school , where learningand exploration is encouraged. For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the Internet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also serve as a place to pick up a book and learn something new. What’s more，they can also borrow a book and get away from it all.Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an age of alternative (选择性的）facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, we need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educate ourselves on the facts and hold the government responsible for them. We need them to have strong public participation(参与).If you agree with me，you shouldn’t be silent on this issue. You can write or call directly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also write to both your state Senators (参议员）and your district representative. If you do not know who they are, you can find out here. Let them know this is a beneficial issue because all people use public libraries in their daily life.28. The author thinks that Trump’s decision about his budget is___________.A. difficultB. practicalC. personalD. wrong29. Unlike kids, adults use libraries to ________.A. surf the InternetB. borrow some booksC. do social activitiesD. explore the world30. Which statement about libraries does the author agree with?A. Libraries play a more important role nowadays.B. Information can be stored in libraries forever.C. Government needs libraries more than before.D. Science should be learned in our libraries.31. What is the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph?A. To call on us to disagree with the government’s decision.B. To call on us to fight with the American president.C. To encourage us to talk about the issue.D. To persuade us to agree with his viewpoints.DThe noise of chattering mouths settled down as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interestingname and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the fort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes（火山）, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.Never can I forget the joy of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.At present, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me; I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it touches me deeply. Mrs Monaf still talks happily about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. .32. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Mrs Monaf enjoyed telling stories.B. The writer traveled a lot.C. Mrs Monaf was a learned person.D. The writer did well at school.33. The underlined word “rubbed off” means .A. moved.B. influencedC. defeatedD. shocked34. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Praying for Mrs. Monaf made the writer tremble.B. Another great person may appear in my life.C. Mrs. Monaf was an optimistic person.D. Breast cancer made Mrs. Monaf upset.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Influential Person in My LifeB. Brave Fight Against Breast CancerC. The Teacher-student FriendshipD. My Interesting School Life第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For example, orange juice with 75 orange color was preferred over naturally colored orange juice and was thought to be sweeter.In the case of 76 , color also plays a role. Have you ever noticed that pink is often used as the color of face creams? That's for a good reason. In a research study, some women were given pink and white face creams, which were 77 except for their color. One hundred percent of the women said that the pink face creams were more effective and__ 78 on sensitive skin.More colorful, more personalizedwe need not only good quality products, but personalized ones. This urges manufacturers to make products more and more "colorful" .Take M&M's Milk Chocolate Candies for example.

In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the 86 market alone. The film’s popularity and success has come as a 87 to many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the 88 situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has 89 general fiction in both the film and publishing industries.

I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have 91 regarding the genre.My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were "unrealistic nonsense" and would " 92 my brain.” 93 ，great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction.

There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to 98 the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be 99 to move Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth.

But, over the past two decades, even that expected dryness ___21___ (take) to the li mit. According to Park Williams, who works at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the current lack of rainfall in the area constitutes a megadrought of a severity ___22___(see) on only four other occasions in the past 1,200 years.Dr Williams studies the annual growth rings of 1,586 ancient trees, in order to reconstruct soil-moisture patterns going back to 800 A.D. During warm, wet years trees grow fast, producing wide rings. During cold, dry ___23___ they grow more slowly, producing narrow rings. During a drought, a tree ___24___ not grow much at all.___25___they describe in this week’s Science, the team identified dozens of droughts over the centuries in question. But four stood out. They then took the average soil-moisture value for the current drought and compared it with sequential（连续的）19-year averages with the previous four, one of them ___26___(last) nearly a century. This showed that the region is already drier than it was during the first three of the previous megadroughts, and is equivalent to the event of 1575-1603.In a world ___27___ human actions are driving temperatures up, Dr Parker and his colleagues wondered how much people are ___28___(blame) for this state of affairs. To estimate that, they turned to climate modelling.Climate models are able to re-run the past with and ___29___ the warming effects of human activity, offering a way to compare what actually happened with what might have done. In their simulated world in which anthropogenic （人类起源的）emissions had not increased the greenhouse-gas effect, the team found that a drought did indeed still influence the western reaches of North America during the first two decades of the 21st century. But this imaginary dry spell was considerably ___30___(severe) than the real one-ranking 11th rather than 2nd in the period under study (see chart).Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t ___32___ on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.The ___33___ film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has ___34___ so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an ___35___ message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own ___36___ to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really ___37___, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”. There’s the whale, the jellyfish, the flying fish, that ___38___ storm, and that seaweed island with all of the meerkats (a kind of monkey). “Life of Pi” never really lets up o n being ___39___ breathtaking and amazing from beginning to end.“Life of Pi” is pleasantly satisfying. With a heartfelt message, beautiful visuals, a nd stunning camera work. “Life of Pi” is truly a sight to behold and illustrates how ___40___ 3D can be to a film that isn’t just a summer hit or blockbuster.Ⅳ. Reading ComprehensionSection A(15 points)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life. For eighty-four days. Santiago, an aged Cuban fisherman, has set out to sea and returned ___41___ handed. So conspicuously unlucky is he that the parents of his young, devoted apprentice（徒弟）and friend, Manolin, have ___42___ the boy to leave the old man in order to fish in a more prosperous boat. ___43___, the boy continues to care for the old man upon his return each night. He helps the old man haul his gear to his ramshackle hut（破旧不堪的陋室）, secures food for him, and discusses the latest developments in American baseball, especially the trials of the old man’s hero, Joe DiMaggio. Santiago is ___44___ that his unproductive streak of failure will soon come to an end, and he ___45___ to sail out farther than usual the following day.On the eighty-fifth day of his unlucky streak, Santiago does as promised, sailing his skiff（小艇）far beyond the island’s shallow coasta l waters and ___46___ into the Gulf Stream. He prepares his lines and drops them. At noon, a big fish, which he knows is a marlin（青枪鱼）, takes the bait（鱼饵）that Santiago has placed one hundred fathoms deep in the waters. The old man expertly hooks the fish, but he cannot pull it in. Instead, the fish begins to pull to boat.Unable to tie the line ___47___ to the boat for fear the fish would snap a taut line, the old man bears the strain of the line with his shoulders, back, and hands, ready to give slack should the marlin make a run. The fish ___48___ the boat all through the day, through the night, through another day, and through another night. The entire time, Santiago endured ___49___ pain from the fishing line. Whenever the fish lunges, leaps, or makes a dash for ___50___, the cord（绳）cuts Santiago badly. Although wounded and weary, the old man feels a deep empathy and admiration, for the marlin, his brother in suffering, strength, and determination.As Santiago sails on with the fish, the marlin’s blood leaves a trail in the water and attracts sharks. The first to attack is a great make shark, which Santiago manages to kill with the harpoon（鱼叉）. In the ___51___, the old manloses the harpoon and lengths of valuable rope, which leaves him vulnerable to other shark attacks. Although he kills several sharks, more and more appear. They devour（吞噬）the marlin’s precious meat, leaving only skeleton, head, and tail, Santiago punished himself for going “out too far,” and for sacrificing his great and worthy ___52___.The next morning, a crowd of ___53___ fishermen gathers around the skeletal carcass of the fish, which is still lashed（紧系）to the boat. Knowing nothing of the old man’s struggle, tourists at a nearby café observe the ___54___ of the giant marlin and mistake it for a shark. Manolin, who has been worried over the old man’s absence, is moved to tears when he finds Santiago safe in his bed. The boy fetches the old man some coffee and the daily papers with the baseball scores, and watches him sleep. When the old man wakes, the two agree to fish as ___55___ once more. The old man returns to sleep and dreams his usual dream of lions at play on the beaches of Africa.41. A. second B. single C. empty D. first42. A. made B. encouraged C. dissuaded D. forced43. A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that first best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristic thatinstruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage（电压）transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts（催化剂）for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire.

But, over the past two decades, even that expected dryness ___21___ (take) to the li mit. According to Park Williams, who works at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the current lack of rainfall in the area constitutes a megadrought of a severity ___22___(see) on only four other occasions in the past 1,200 years.Dr Williams studies the annual growth rings of 1,586 ancient trees, in order to reconstruct soil-moisture patterns going back to 800 A.D. During warm, wet years trees grow fast, producing wide rings. During cold, dry ___23___ they grow more slowly, producing narrow rings. During a drought, a tree ___24___ not grow much at all.___25___they describe in this week’s Science, the team identified dozens of droughts over the centuries in question. But four stood out. They then took the average soil-moisture value for the current drought and compared it with sequential（连续的）19-year averages with the previous four, one of them ___26___(last) nearly a century. This showed that the region is already drier than it was during the first three of the previous megadroughts, and is equivalent to the event of 1575-1603.In a world ___27___ human actions are driving temperatures up, Dr Parker and his colleagues wondered how much people are ___28___(blame) for this state of affairs. To estimate that, they turned to climate modelling.Climate models are able to re-run the past with and ___29___ the warming effects of human activity, offering a way to compare what actually happened with what might have done. In their simulated world in which anthropogenic （人类起源的）emissions had not increased the greenhouse-gas effect, the team found that a drought did indeed still influence the western reaches of North America during the first two decades of the 21st century. But this imaginary dry spell was considerably ___30___(severe) than the real one-ranking 11th rather than 2nd in the period under study (see chart).Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

The heart of the story lies in Pi as a young man and the time he spent out at sea on a lifeboat with a tiger named Richard Parker, but getting to that point is quite an ordeal（苦难考验）. Pi loses everything and everyone close to him in the blink of an eye and he doesn’t ___32___ on making what feels like an unbreakable bond with a Bengal tiger.The ___33___ film offers a rather marvelous message about religion as Pi discusses the experimentation with several different religions as a young boy. Even though it seems kind of silly that a boy has ___34___ so many religions at one point in his life, it portrays a/an ___35___ message in a light that doesn’t seem too preachy（说教的）. But the religious aspect is really only a backdrop for being on your own ___36___ to finding who you really are. Feeling so alone for so long and having Pi talk about not being alone and not getting to say goodbye to those he cared about most is one of those things that just hits you really hard.While witnessing Pi attempt to tame Richard Parker is really ___37___, there are so many unbelievable sights to witness in “Life of Pi”.

He prepares his lines and drops them. At noon, a big fish, which he knows is a marlin（青枪鱼）, takes the bait（鱼饵）that Santiago has placed one hundred fathoms deep in the waters. The old man expertly hooks the fish, but he cannot pull it in. Instead, the fish begins to pull to boat.Unable to tie the line ___47___ to the boat for fear the fish would snap a taut line, the old man bears the strain of the line with his shoulders, back, and hands, ready to give slack should the marlin make a run. The fish ___48___ the boat all through the day, through the night, through another day, and through another night. The entire time, Santiago endured ___49___ pain from the fishing line. Whenever the fish lunges, leaps, or makes a dash for ___50___, the cord（绳）cuts Santiago badly. Although wounded and weary, the old man feels a deep empathy and admiration, for the marlin, his brother in suffering, strength, and determination.As Santiago sails on with the fish, the marlin’s blood leaves a trail in the water and attracts sharks. The first to attack is a great make shark, which Santiago manages to kill with the harpoon（鱼叉）. In the ___51___, the old manloses the harpoon and lengths of valuable rope, which leaves him vulnerable to other shark attacks. Although he kills several sharks, more and more appear.

Knowing nothing of the old man’s struggle, tourists at a nearby café observe the ___54___ of the giant marlin and mistake it for a shark.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that first best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristic thatinstruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage（电压）transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts（催化剂）for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr, we might still have segregated（隔离的）buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain and the committee meetings endless.56. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC.are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans 57. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that . A. they have a vision from the mountaintop B. they have warm feelings and emotions C. they can serve as empowering examples of noble principles D. they can make all people feel stronger and more confident 58. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because . A. they are popular only among certain groups of people B. their performances do not improve their fans morally C their primary concern is their own financial interests D. they are not clear about the principles they should follow 59. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who . A. are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB. can move the masses with the skill and the charmC. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD. can provide an answer to the problems of their people60.
