2020年上海市瑞大学校高三英语一模试卷及答案

2020年上海市瑞大学校高三英语一模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AThree Things to Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBBrain cells work to actively forget memories during a specific period of sleep. When we sleep our brains clear out the memories we’ve made while we’re awake, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of the study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different periods of sleep.They found that during the rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep period — or active sleep when we are thought to dream — special nerve cells appear to actively contribute to forgetting. What are known as melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons (神经元) sit in the hypothalamus (下丘脑): a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns: activating the MCH neurons increasing time spentin this period, while preventingthemreducing changes into this period.The scientists looked at MCH cells in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, compared with 35 percent when the mice were awake. Study co-author Thomas Kilduff, director of the Center for Neuroscience at SRI International, told Newsweek the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were prevented. “This result suggests that activation of the MCH neurons may affect memory — that is, MCH neurons may facilitate forgetting,” Kilduff explained.When asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, “We hope the work could deepen our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the neural basis of learning and memory is a huge area of neuroscience research because of its effects on our everyday lives, as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Prior to this work, no one suspected that MCH neurons had anything to do with forgetting,” said Kilduff.4. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Forgetting is a passive process.B. The forgetting process is known to us.C. Some memories are forgotten while we are awake.D. Certain memories are removed while we are asleep.5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. REM sleep patterns.B. Past researches.C. MCH neurons.D. A range of functions.6. Why did Kilduff’s team conduct the research?A. To publish the study in the journal Science.B. To know more about Alzheimer’s disease.C. To contribute to human’s forgetting.D. To explore our everyday lives.7. What can we know about MCH?A. MCH cells takes control of REM sleep patterns .B. MCH neurons may disturb memory consolidation.C. MCH neurons have nothing to do with forgetting.D. MCH cells help mice performing better on learning.CLife in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36%of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13%of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60%reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.8. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Paul Resnick.B. Robert Kraut.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.9. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A. the opinion expressed in Bowling AloneB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the study conducted by Stanford University10. From the passage we learn that .A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectC. 36%ofweb users spend more than five hours a week onlineD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions11. The passage mainly discusses .A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. how declines in social connectedness appearC. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectD. what a different life the Internet brings to usDIdentifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolor1 s is criticalto restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the teamfound a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color1 .Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color1 , one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”12. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. determine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color1 folium belongs to13. The underlined phrase “poring over”in the second paragraph means ________.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully14. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.15. The article is mainly about _________.A. how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was made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。

Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive(侵入的) thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well-being.The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.【答案】The Zeiguvnik Effect is that you always remember unfinished matter, which can be well used. The effect helps you overcome procrastination and have a good start. The effect is effective for students to improve recall and remember things better. It also encourage people to finish work and improve psychological well-being. It can influence us positively in all aspect.【解析】要点中需要包括:1.The Zeigarnik Effect的定义2.三个好处容易出现的问题:主旨句不清晰;语言不够精炼。

It needs NPS working experience.C“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day:December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the samemessage were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifullydesigned – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanationon the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said:“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shoppingit was awebsite like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly youwanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytimehad become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was muchcheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but itwas registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find someinteresting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. Agovernment official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news storiessuddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court diedin a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposingor criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information andlooking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleepat his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stotrouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words “Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.30. What did Chris’ s research suggest aboutAnytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.DConnecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that oncerequired a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on yourscreen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violatingcertain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office managerfrom White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terribleone-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few where. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to expresstheir distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friendshave their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings thathave their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguousclues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easilyunderstand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness ofly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up athe body language,” Ivory said, “People immediatefeeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.B. He complains about social manners.- word messages.C. He can’t bear oneD. He dislike a busy business life.33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.D. To keep pace with digital communication development.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。

In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents , he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles . To this day, parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories : keep your promises , don' t talk to strangers work hard , obey your parents .Yet (8) all Wilhelm ' s additithesmost important part of these stories was left untouched .

That is not just because governments have been pushing up the state retirement age .(8), the average age at which people actually retire differs from the official age by several years .

In the comin Oklahoma! would run for an incredible 2, 212 performances, both around the nation and abroad . In 1955, the film vers Academy Award .But the success of Oklahoma! didn ' t bring her much hapSh e sthought that her work on Oklahoma! was only average co of her other creations . She later said, “After the opening of Oklahoma!, I suddenly had unexpected success for a wo only fairly good, after years of neglect for work I thought was fine . I began to think that perhaps my entire scale untrustworthy . I talked to Martha .”Martha was Martha Graham, perhaps the most influential dance choreographer of the 20thcentury . (Although not as well — known by the general public, Graham has been compared to other creative geniuses like Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright.)During their conversation, de Mille told Martha Graham about her frustration . "I confessed that I desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be .”Graham responded by saying,“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into acti on, and beca only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique . And if you block it, it will never exist through any othe will be lost . The world will not have it . It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor with other expressions .

Housing Options and SolutionsOn August 29th, as Hurricane Dorian tracked towards America'困0raMicoas t he boss of Tesla,anelectric — car maker, announced that some of his customers in the storm ' s path would findthat their cars had.oomjddenly developed the ability to drive farther on a single battery charge . Like many modernvehicles, Mr. Musk' s products are best thought of as internet- connected computers on wheels . The cheaper models in Tesla ' -sdineave parts of their batteries disabled by the car order'tosiBofttheiie inrange. At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporaryaccess to the full power of their batteries .Mr. Musk' s computerized cars are just one example of a much broaier trend . As computers and connectivity become cheaper, it makes sense to bake them into more and more things that are not, in themselves, computers, creating an a internet of things ”Such a world will bring many benefits . Consumers will get convenience, and products that can do things non 一 computerized versions cannot . Businesses will get efficiency, as information about the physical world that used to be uncertain becomes concrete and analyzable .In the long term, though, the most obvious effects will be in how the world works . Ever more companies will become tech companies; the internet will become everywhere . As a result, a series of unresolved arguments will spill over from the virtual world into the real one .Start with ownership . As Mr Musk showed, the internet gives firms the ability to stay connected to their productseven after they have been sold, transforming them into something closer to services than goods . That has already made the traditional ideas of ownership unclear . When Microsoft closed its ebook store in July, for instance, its customers lost the ability to read titles they had bought (the firm offered refunds ). That shifts the balance of power from thecustomer to the seller .Virtual business models will in the physical world . Tech firms are generally happy to move fast andbreak things . But you cannot release the beta version (测试版) of a fridge . Apple, a smartphonemaker, provides updates for its phones for only five years or so after their release; users of Android smartphones are lucky to get two . But goods such as washing machines or industrial machinery can have lifespans of a decade or more . Firms will need to work out how to support complicated computerised devices long after their original programmers have moved on .Data will be another flashpoint . For much of the internet the business model is to offer” freepaid for with valuable user data, collected with consent (同意) that is half — informed at best . In thevirtualworld, arguments about what should be tracked, and who owns the resulting data, can seem airy and theoretical . In the real one, they will feel more urgent .Predicting the consequences of any technology is hard — especially one as universal as computing . The emergence of the consumer internet, 25 years ago, was met with starry — eyed optimism . These days the internet ' s faults dominate the headlinesBut the people have the advantage of having lived through the first internet revolution — which should give them some idea of what to expect .11)From the passage we can tell that Tesla can. A. drive faster than usual in extreme weatherB.adjust the range of its battery powerC.charge the battery at the tap of a keyboardD. operate when the battery is fully drained .(2)Which of the following is NOT an example of the a unresolved arguments " mentioned in the passageA.Early adopters of certain apps find that they ceased to work after the firm lost interest .B.The insurance company uses data from fitness trackers to adjust customers (保费premiumsputerized machinery can ' t predict its breakdowns or schedule preventive maintenanceD. A high — tech fridge company restricts its customers from repairing their fridges themselves ..(3)The underlined word probably means in this context .A. boomB. conflictC. vanishD. expand.(4)4) This passage is mainly about.A.how the world will change as computers spread into everyday objectsB.the adoption of electric vehicles and the possible problems to expectC.what should be done to prevent the breakdown of computerized devicesD.different views on the current application of Internet Technology .Section CDirections : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Creativity is associated with many factors .B.Rather, they should work to expand , grow , and exercise it.C.Without creativity , we are indistinguishable from the masses .D.However, creativity can be acquired at any age .E.It ' s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes fromF.Everyone has the capacity to be creative .Essential Creativity In a recent survey in America , 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than theyhad anticipated it would be when they were in school .11)It is of course possible to scan people ' s brains and see tw hich fping when an idea iscreated ,but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified . Creativity is what comes to youwhen you least expect it . You cannot demand creativity from your mind , nor can you demand that you areseeaices ithat paeticular way .One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people Another misconception isthat creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn and science in just the way it does to music andliterature .Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones who make thegreatest changes in the world . Consequently , it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity . ⑶Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not makesense. They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful.It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing creativity when this is the most important time inhistory for it . It used to be that people worked hard , went to university , and got a job . That was it. But now ,everyone works hard , goes to university — and there aren ' t the jobs out there that guarantee a safe future .

Use your own words as far as possible .The Decline of BiodiversityBiodiversity is the range of living things in an area . During the last 100 years , scientists have seen a great decline in biodiversity . Some studies show that one in eight plant species is threatened with extinction . It is estimated that 140 ,000 species of plants are lost each year.Most of the extinctions in the last thousand years are due to humans . The main cause is the chopping down of tropical rain forests . Most of this destruction is done to create pasture (牧场) for beef cattle . Many rainforests in Central and South America have been burnt down to make way for cattle farming , which supplies beef to the rest of the world . It is estimatedthat for each pound of beef produced , 200 square feet of rainforest are destroyed . The forests are also cut down to makewheat for bread as well as fruit for human consumption . The introduction of exotic (夕卜来的) species is another threat .The latest research from the University of Southampton has revealed the impact of exotic species upon native wildlife , whichcould potentially lead to the extinctions of local species . When exotic species are introduced to a place , they try to establish a self — sustaining population . While the local species , which haven ' t had a chance to evo,lveoften lack defenses and thus cannot compete against the exotic species .The disappearance of certain food animals can be disastrous not only to larger animals but also to the entire ecosystem. Itis these small creatures which convert much of the energy in an ecosystem from unusable(i. e. microscopic plants , decaying matter, etc.) into usable forms , namely their bodies . Their absence makes mostenergy and nutrients trapped in forms unusable to other species . This makes the environment less suitable for healthyliving , and less capable of producing resources that humans need .V.TranslationDirections : Translate the following sentences into English , using the words given in the brackets.我家门口的街道成天车水马龙.

崇明 Giving Thanks
This is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays
The old saying goes “It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,” but the same is true of gratitude. That’s a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year. 参考答案:We should show gratitude year-round as it is beneficial to both our personal and professional life. First, it helps our physical and mental health and makes us happier, thus promoting production at work. Second, it makes us more self-aware, which can contribute to career success. Lastly,it makes us more likely to forgive others and helps build strong relationships. (59 words)
When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots (同 胞)on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. However, they immediately saw things which didn't exist in Europe, often items used and made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word "boss”, for example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century. It comes from the Dutch word "baas'" which means master. The word "cookie" also comes from the Dutch "koekje”.

It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A. Nonetheless, quite apart from well-documented lexical (词汇的)differences pavement/sidewalk, lift/elevator, etc. - there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms.

The bus ride was so much fun, we sang songs and played games all the way there.When we arrived, we were greeted by the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen. There were lush green fields, colorful flowers, and chirping birds everywhere. We were split into groups and given a map to explore the area. My group decided to visit a farm first. We got to see cows, sheep, and even a horse!I was so happy because I had never been so close to animals before.After the farm visit, we had a picnic by the lake. We ate sandwiches, fruits, and had a mini bbq. It was so delicious and we all had a great time chatting and laughing. Then we went on a nature walk and saw butterflies, dragonflies, and even a squirrel! It was like being in a fairy tale.As the day came to an end, we gathered around a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. We sang songs and told stories until it was time to go back. On the bus ride home, I looked out the window and saw the stars twinkling in the sky.

【关键字】英语2018年高三一模作文汇编1.黄浦区2017年已接近尾声,还记得年初你为自己定下的小目标吗?不知你是否实现了你的小目标?发一个微信朋友圈来回顾一下吧(文中请不要出现真实的校名人名)。

你的朋友圈文字内容需包括:1. 你的2017年度小目标;2. 你为实现年度小目标所作的努力;3. 你实现(或没有实现)年度小目标的经验总结。

范文:My new year’s resolution for 2017 was that I should be able to communicate with foreign people in English. To achieve this goal, I had asked my English teacher for help. According to her suggestions, I made up a plan.Firstly, I started with simply reading English articles and found many pronunciation errors in my reading after listening to the video tape of its recording. Then, I tried to learn phonetics and practice one syllable after another again and again. I started with a single word, then a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph and finally the whole passage. After 3-month practice, I was able to read an article fluently without making any mistakes in pronunciation. I felt happy. Next, I practiced my listening. By listening to a passage four times, I required myself to take it down without spelling errors or any information blank. Last but not least, I installed an app called Shanbei Oral English on my phone to practice both my listening and speaking. It’s like having conversations with a robot. I had to understand what it said to me and answer its questions accordingly. After practicing for almost 8 months, I had my first talking session with an American teacher in our school. I was proud of myself.What I have learnt from this experience is something as a saying goes: no pain no gain. Though the process of learning could be dull and tiring, it’s worth all the efforts after I achieved my goal. Even if I didn’t, it’s still a valuable part of my life.阅卷作文8+8+4=20The wonderful year of 2017 is drawing to an end. I remember that I set an annual goal to keep fit at the beginning of 2017, since staying healthy is crucial to ensuring my study, thus better prepare myself for Gaokao.To achieve my goal of keeping fit, here are some efforts I’ve taken throughout the year. On the very first day of 2017, I downloaded a fitness app called Keep. Following the fitness instructions the app offered, I exercised every other night before I go to bed. Also, I did some research into the daily nutrition I need in order to stay healthy both physically and mentally, after which I devised a moderate dieting plan. Apart from the above, I’ve invited family members and friends to join me so that we can encourage each other and exchange fitness experience.So far, the record shown on my fitness app shows that I’ve done well this year, reaching a record high of 200 training times in total. Although at times I felt like giving up because of too much study pressure and limited time, I’m glad I have stuck to my plan. It seems to me that anything is possible if I throw in all of my energy and passion, and most of all, perseverance. Some rules apply to study. So I hope I will keep such passion and strength to do my best in the coming 2018. (237 words)点评:1.文本结构段落清晰,符合作文题目要求。

Instead, all the PR and press promotion in the years ahead of Apollo 11 brought the human spaceflight program into people’s living rooms and imaginations.As the drama neared its peak,NASA’s PR officials pushed for live TV broadcasts of the first humans to walk on the moon. Not everyone thought it was a good idea. The technology for live lunar broadcasts, and cameras small enough to keep the cargo (7)_______,didn’t exist at the point.

To study this, scientists often monitor cortisol(皮质醇)or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.(8)_______, the intensity of these responses seems to be set from a youngage. Studies have shown that people who experienced childhood hardships ﹣﹣ including physical punishment and a(n)(9)_______ home ﹣﹣ are more likely to have quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo exposed 354 participants to moderate stress. People who self﹣reported early﹣life (10)_______ actually had lower heart rates and cortisol levels than other participants. Whilethe study tasks were not important, the individuals’ under﹣reactions suggest their stress response may also have trouble (11)_______ when it really matters. It can be just as (12)_______ as an extreme response. Other research has found links between childhood conflict, abnormally low adult stress and substance misuse. Though the biologyis not fully understood, it’s suggested that early ﹣ life neglect or suffering (13)_______ the body’s stress pathways.Even before birth, a child can (14)_______ parental stress.

House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structureinto its path. it bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home.It’s covered in mass(苔藓), which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of inseets. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they’re there because of all the birds trying to pick themout. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem.When I’m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine.When I’m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird.We’ll be staring at eachother and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business.

Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But way some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good ideas from less well﹣known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study.“This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far itspreads, holding the quality of the idea constant.” says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.Not only is this unfair ﹣﹣“it reveals a big weakness in how we’re doing science,” says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions.“They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost, ” DeDeo says.“Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because of this.”The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First theylooked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time ﹣﹣ and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took place from higher﹣ to lower﹣status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the si ze of an idea “epidemic” (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in EPJ Data Science.The r esearchers’ model suggests that there “may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities, ” Clauset says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: “You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don’t know because they’re not even paying attention.”(1)The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that________.A. the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB. the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC. good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD. scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless.(2)The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate________.A. the statistics the epidemological model provides for the researchersB. why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC. how they carry the ideas from lower ﹣ to higher ﹣ status institutionsD. the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects.(3)Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about________.A. losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB. missing the opportunities of getting more well﹣knownC. misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD. having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires.(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?________A. Infectious DiseasesB. Original IdeasC. Idea EpidemicD. Epidemiological Model.【答案】CDAC【考点】议论文阅读社会文化类阅读【解析】本文介绍流行病会传播,同样思想也会,而且大的著名的机构的思想传播的比不怎么著名的机构的快.【解答】(1)C.词义猜测题.根据第一段的The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “epidemics” than equally good ideas from less well﹣known places该模型表明,来自著名机构的思想比来自不太知名的地方的同样好的思想引起更大的“流行病”可知,第二段的this指的是“不太重要的机构的好主意缺乏影响力”.故选C.(2)D.推理判断题.根据第二段的Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “epidemic” (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated)depended on the status of the originating institution.然后,研究小组使用传染病模型模拟思想的传播,发现一个思想“流行病”的规模(以一个思想产生后发表研究报告的机构的数量衡量)取决于产生该思想的机构的地位.可知,第3段中的一些雇员的例子被用来表示一些新思想的运动发生的方式及其影响.故选D.(3)A.推理判断题.根据文章第二段的句子They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost可知,像克劳塞特这样的研究者非常担心失去大量伟大而富有创造性的思想.故选A.(4)C.标题判断题.根据文章第一段的句子Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable.可知,文章主要介绍一些思想是怎么流行的.Idea Epidemic是合适的标题.故选C.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that thereare two more sentences than you need.A. So we try to push back the tide and keep up by multi ﹣ tasking.B.No wonder people say they’re too busy to see friends, exercise or sleep.C. Would it surprise you to hear that we have more leisure time today than ever?D.How can we learn to spend time in a way that’s more likely to lead to happiness and success?E.It’s something that economist have been puzzling over and they’ve identif ied several reasons.F. Then you will have fewer empty experiences and far ore that are worthy of your precious time.The Fullness of TimeMost of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot ﹣ on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don’t we feel time ﹣ rich?(1)________One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive.Then there’s the way we’ve come to see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities,and it’s easy to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.(2)________ This fools us into thinking we’re being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. Whenwe’re playing with out kids, we check Facebook.When we’re hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another.This is something sociologists call ‘pollutedtime’.We’re also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smart﹣phones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online.(3)________You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time ﹣﹣ after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so difficult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it.“The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work.” Worryingly, scientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they’d never taken one.(4)________ The question still remains unsettled.【答案】E,A,B,D【考点】说明文七选五【解析】本文属于说理性的短文阅读.主要介绍了我们在生活中总是感到自由时间很少,事实真是如此吗?本文就这个问题进行了探讨.【解答】1. E.考查句子理解和上下文之间的逻辑关系.根据前面的句子So why don’t we feel time ﹣ rich?可知,虽然实际上我们有很多业余时间但是我们感觉不到,那么为什么会这样呢,E项It’s something that economist have been puzzling over and they’ve identified several reasons(这也是经济学家一直困惑的问题,他们已经给出了几个原因),符合句子间的逻辑关系.故选E.2. A.考查句子理解和上下文之间的逻辑关系.前面提到A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious使我们感觉不到空闲时间的是我们把能做的事情和别人正在做的事情进行了比较,唯恐落后的思想逼迫着我们加班加点,A项中So we try to push back the tide and keep up by multi ﹣ tasking(所以我们努力去做更多的任务),和后面的内容也正好吻合.故选A.3. B.考查句子理解和上下文之间的逻辑关系.前一句Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online(我们每天在网上的花费时间为平均3.5小时)解释了我们感觉时间不够的原因,所以B项No wonder people say they’re too busy to see friends,exercise or sleep(难怪人们说他们太忙了而没有时间见朋友、锻炼以及睡觉)符合文章的逻辑关系.故选B.4.

Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive(侵入的) thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems.

Sending money online to a friend,you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal,or make a bank transfer. However,there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money,and transfers can have sizeable fees.In2008,a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use cryptograph(密码学)to create a secure electronic cash system,known as a cryptocurrency.Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization.Each transaction could happen very quickly.The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely.Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today,there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies.Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin.They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual“wallets”or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.However,clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash.The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet.The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies.Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual ter,the websites disappear along with the victims’money.In response to this problem,companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.宝山区2019学年第一学期期末People choose to become entrepreneurs(创业者)for a wide variety of reasons.One important reason is,of course, financial reward.If you own your own business and it becomes successful,you can reap huge financial rewards.And as an entrepreneur,dependent on how much your boss decides to give you;it’s limited only by the success of your business.And speaking of bosses,not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur.Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects,rather than having others tell them what to do.They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true.For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need.It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy,however,nor is it always fun.Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours,especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground.That’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic(伦理).Employees can work40hours a week and then stop,but for an entrepreneur,there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion;they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it.Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others.That’s important for finding investors,getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter.This is important from the very beginning,when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business.But even after that initial step,creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.崇明区2020届第一次英语高考模拟考试试卷Giving ThanksThis is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we’re thankful for in life.Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special.But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a muscle we should strengthen year-round to make us healthier,happier humans and leaders.Emmons,through his research,found that grateful people reported feeling healthier,both mentally and physically. Specifically,those who were grateful were25percent happier than those who weren’t.In the workplace,well-being is a crucial topic when it comes to preventing employee burn-out and promoting engagement.Beyond the research that shows that employees who are shown that they are appreciated are more productive by50percent,caring for your employees’well-being is simply the right thing to do.Providing programs that support managing life’s everyday challenges,offering fitness classes or implementing flexible work schedules are just a few things that,when paired with gratitude,can lead to more productive,engaged and happier working professionals.Working in an ever-evolving,fast-paced industry,I am surrounded by ambitious people who are always striving for more and better.Gratitude challenges you to reflect in the moment instead of always thinking about the future.It starts by paying attention to what’s going on in your life,and that true self-awareness is a key ingredient to being successful in your career.Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships,both at work and in your personal life.People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.The old saying goes“It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,”but the same is true of gratitude.That’s a gift worth celebrating 365days a year.虹口区2019学年度第一学期期终学生学习能力诊断测试The Zeigarnik EffectHave you ever found yourself thinking about a partially finished project for school or work when you were trying to focus on other

nervous,invariably they respond with the same answers:“I don’t like being watched”,“I don’t like the eyes on me”or“I don’t like being in the spotlight”.To understand why,we need to go way back to prehistoric times,when humans regarded eyes watching us as an existential threat.Those eyes were likely predators(肉食动物)and people were terrified of being eaten alive.The bad news is that our brains have transferred the ancient fear of being watched into public speaking.In other words,public-speaking anxiety is in our DNA.Fortunately,there is a solution:human generosity.The key to disarming our panic button is to turn the focus away from ourselves and toward helping the audience.Studies have shown that an increase in generosity indeed leads to a decrease in amygdala(扁桃腺)activity,which is responsible for our panic feeling in the brain.When we are kind to others,we overcome the sense of being under attack and start to feel less nervous.Admittedly,this is hard to do.But it’s absolutely possible to become a generous speaker.To begin with,when you start preparing for a presentation,the mistake you often make is starting with the topic.Instead,you should start with the audience.Identify the audience’s needs,and craft a message that speaks directly to those needs.Also,you are the most nervous right before you speak.This is the moment when your brain is telling you,“Everyone is judging me.”But it is exactly the moment when you should refocus your brain.Over time,your brain will begin to get it,and you will become less nervous.黄浦区2019学年度第一学期高三年级期终调研测试Online“friends”―a threat to developmentThe impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much-debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks.Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before.It is therefore not surprising that so many psychologists,sociologists,and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society.There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying.We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night,excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.Professor Larry D. Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become ineffective,aggressive,and display anti-social behavior in their offline lives.But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy.This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends’points of view. Without it,we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone.This is something confirmed by a study where200university students were asked to go without social media for24hours.Many admitted an addiction to their online social network;most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends.And yet being alone is a time when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are.It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming,so it is clear that we can’t neglect those negative impacts of social networks.青浦区2019学年第一学期高三英语期终学业质量调研试卷Social media and teens’anxietyFrom cyber-bullying to cruel comments,social media can be a land mine for kids.Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for many teens.With kids’digital well-being a concern,researchers are exploring potential links between social media and the rise in teen suicide rates,tech addiction,and loss of real-life social skills.Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety?It’s a question that worried parents.Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids,but it’s difficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support.How kids use social media matters,too.Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms,which often co-occur with anxiety.How can parents keep social media a positive for kids?1.Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t invite you to can really be upsetting.If your kid is tired of digital drama,suggest they take a break from social media for a while.In fact,if they post a status update that they’re takinga break,their friends might be very accepting because they’ve had similar feelings.2.People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect—not the homework struggles,or the fight they had with their dad.Remind kids that social media leaves the messy stuff out—and that everyone has ups and downs.3.In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking at Wechat,it’s doubly important for them to feel as though they’re cultivating their inner lives.Prompt them to balance social media with soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies,exercise,reading,and helping others.Otherwise,what are they going to show off about on social media?浦东新区2019学年度第一学期期末教学质量检测How Supermarkets Are Changing BritainThe British love their supermarkets.And there are more and more of them every year.But is this a good thing?Not necessarily.For a start,many small shops can’t compete on price with superstores such as Tesco.And they don’t have as many products either.As a result,36%of the UK’s small shops shut down between1990and1996while the number of supermarkets increased from457to1,102.Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub.There are now over55,000supermarkets in the UK,but less than55,000pubs.A decade ago there were more than61,000.These days,pubs are closing at the rate of39a week!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare.The UK has high standards in this field,but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad.And in many cases,this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK.But once they’ve got the meat,supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there.Dishonest?Not exactly,but it isn’t entirely true either!Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too.Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive,so they get food producers to do it for them.This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies.In turn,this increases the amount of petrol used,which leads to more pollution.Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging,which isn’t good for the environment either.So,what can be done to help the“little guys”?Not much really.Supermarkets have a lot of power.Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets.And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions.For example, just before the year2000,one supermarket gave the government£12million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later,plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.松江区2019学年度第一学期期末质量监控试卷It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A.Nonetheless,quite apart from well-documented lexical(词汇的)differences–pavement/sidewalk,lift/elevator,etc.–there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms.That’s why some people say that Great Britain and the United States are nations separated by a common language.There are practical reasons for this.When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America,the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots(同胞)on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.However,they immediately saw things which didn’t exist in Europe,often items used and made by Native Americans,such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo.They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants.The word“boss”, for example,was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century.It comes from the Dutch word“baas”, which means master.The word“cookie”also comes from the Dutch“koekje”.There are many words,phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms(美式英语用语) in Britain when they are nothing of the sort.Very often,they represent not an American import,but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain.The verbs“guess”meaning think and“loan”meaning lend and the adjective“mad”meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms,yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago.In the case of“loan”,it was used as long ago as1,200years!In fact,English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last500years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found.2019学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷The Decline of BiodiversityBiodiversity is the range of living things in an area.During the last100years,scientists have seen a great decline in biodiversity.Some studies show that one in eight plant species is threatened with extinction.It is estimated that140,000 species of plants are lost each year.Most of the extinctions in the last thousand years are due to humans.The main cause is the chopping down of tropical rain forests.Most of this destruction is done to create pasture(牧场)for beef cattle.Many rainforests in Central and South America have been burnt down to make way for cattle farming,which supplies beef to the rest of the world.It is estimated that for each pound of beef produced,200square feet of rainforest are destroyed.The forests are also cut down to make wheat for bread as well as fruit for human consumption.The introduction of exotic(外来的)species is another threat.The latest research from the University of Southampton has revealed the impact of exotic species upon native wildlife,which could potentially lead to the extinctions of local species.When exotic species are introduced to a place,they try to establish a self-sustaining population.While the local species,which haven’t had a chance to evolve,often lack defenses and thus cannot compete against the exotic species.The disappearance of certain food animals can be disastrous not only to larger animals but also to the entire ecosystem. It is these small creatures which convert much of the energy in an ecosystem from unusable(i.e.microscopic plants, decaying matter,etc.)into usable forms,namely their bodies.Their absence makes most energy and nutrients trapped in forms unusable to other species.This makes the environment less suitable for healthy living,and less capable of producing resources that humans need.杨浦区2019学年度第一学期高三模拟质量调研The Psychology of SpendingDr.Thomas Gilovich,psychology professor at Cornell University,has studied the psychology of spending for over20 years.According to Dr.Gilovich,“We buy things to make us happy,and we succeed,but only for a while.New things are exciting to us at first,but then we adapt to them.”In other words,once the freshness of our newest purchase wears off,we begin looking for something else to buy to make us happy.Dr.Gilovich found that our satisfaction with possessions fades over time.Yet our happiness over things we've experienced increases.For that reason,he has concluded that we are spending our money on the wrong things.A study out of San Francisco State University agrees.The research showed that those people who spent money on experiences instead of possessions were happier.They also thought their money was better invested.To begin with,activities like a trip,adventure,hobby,etc.tend to bring the participants together and unite them over a shared interest.According to Gilovich,“We consume experiences directly with other people.”As a result,these experiences typically create a positive link and good feelings toward the other person or people.Besides,your experience shows others who you are and what you are.For example,you might be someone who loves taking cooking classes.More than likely,you'll become known by friends and family as a great cook.They won't know you as someone who owns the latest kitchen equipment.Lastly,planned experiences are frequently something we look forward to.Then when the moment arrives,if we enjoy the time involved in the activity,we're left with fond memories.These memories will often last a lifetime.Even our worst trips, on many occasions,are later remembered with laughter.11。

Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, according to arecent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking (缩减). A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. “If we continue on this path, cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally unhealthier for inhabitants,” said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons why our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.Nowak says there is a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergy (花粉过敏) or large tailing branches in storms, and people don’t like sweeping leaves. But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive (繁荣). Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt (沥青). “A lot of our native trees can’t actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate,” explains Greg Levine, co-executivedirector of Trees Atlanta. “That’s why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren’t natural anymore.”Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property (财产). “We think we pay for our house, and sowe must maintain it. But because we don’t pay for nature, we don’t need to. And that’s not necessarilytrue.”4. Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures”?A. To tell the temperatures in summer are high.B. To explain the reason of tree loss.C. To tell trees are helpful.D. To introduce the topic.5. How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak?A. Develop cities in reasonable ways.B. Prevent fires form damaging trees.C. Improve climate to let trees grow.D. Decrease insects in cities.6. Why do forests in cities need our help?A. Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.B. Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.C. Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.D. Because humans want to plant more trees.7. What is the purpose of this passage?A. Describe the importance of trees in cities.B. Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.C. Ask people to plant trees with the author.D. Show the number of trees in theUSis declining.CVietnammade preparations for theLunar New Year with a fish release on Thursday. The tradition involves releasing fish called carps into rivers and lakes in the country a week before the holiday known as Tet officially begins.The tradition comes from an ancient story of three “Kitchen Gods”. The three, two males and a female, take a ride on the brightly color1 ed carp at the end of the year. They go to Heaven to meet with the Jade Emperor, the God who rules there. The “Kitchen Gods” report news about the families they represent to seek the emperor's care and protection. Their efforts help to keep the kitchen fires burning, and families happy and healthy.As the Gods go to Heaven, families clean their houses in preparation to celebrate Tet. A clean house,Vietnamese believe, will bring luck in the new year. On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Gods will return to Earth and their duties in the kitchen of the house.Thursday's event inVietnamthis year was more controlled than ever before because of COVID-19. It is spreading in several northern areas of the country. However,Vietnamhas increased contact examination, mass testing, and quarantine measures to slow the spread. The aggressive action has limited infections and deaths in the country.“Vietnamese will still follow the tradition of releasing the fish, but COVID-19 has made people keep a safe distance,” said Tran Van Toi as he released a carp from a plastic bag atHanoi'sWestLake.This year, due to COVID-19, there were fewer people releasing fish there, but there was a major change in attitude towards plastic bags. After years of persuasion, now they don't throw the plastic bags into the water anymore but collect them to be recycled.8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. Kitchen fires inVietnam.B. Traditional customs ofVietnam.C. A report on family activities inVietnam.D. A tale about Vietnamese Lunar New Year.9. What's the author's attitude towards theVietnam's actions to control COVID-19?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Unconcerned.10. What was the change about fish release inVietnamthis year?A. It required few lake fish.B. It was more interesting and diverse.C. It was more environmentally friendly.D. It required more people and plastic bags.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Vietnamese Respect Gods During the Festive TimeB. Vietnamese Mark Lunar New Year with Fish ReleaseC. Vietnamese Lunar New Year Celebrations Are FunnyD. Traditional Lunar New Year Promotes Animal ProtectionDAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’ s desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winningstreak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money.People often think like this — one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world.
