2021年上海杨浦区高三二模英语试卷-学生用卷一、Grammar and vocabulary（本大题共2小题，每小题10分，共20分）1、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第14题10分Understanding the Closeness-Communication Bias（偏见）Most of us assume that we communicate better with our friends and loved ones than we do with strangers. However, it is often the case that the closer we are to1, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. This phenomenon is called closeness-communication bias, and it has been known to affect personal relationships.The reason2many people unconsciously "tune out" their family members or close friends is that they think they already know what the otherperson3(say). It's similar to the way in which you might not notice signs, landmarks, or scenery on a path you have travelled down numerous times.Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated closeness-communication bias in experiments. In one such study, subjects were paired up in a room with friends or spouses,4(follow) by being paired up with complete strangers. Researchers then asked the subjects tointerpret5their friends and spouses were saying to them. In the majority of cases,6most subjects assumed they would better understand those they were close to, they actually understood them no better than strangers. In some cases, they understood their close friends and spouses even less.Another study showed that people are more likely to share their most worrisome troubles with people they were7(close) to rather than with their spouses or close friends. By sharing secrets with strangers, people are able to avoid8(judge) and prevent creating unnecessary conflict within their close relationships.Unfortunately, the closeness-communication bias is a reality that most peoplelive9whether they know it or not. Notonly10this prevent people from listening to those they love, but it also means their loved ones aren't listening to them, either.2、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第15题10分Newton's Notes on Egypt's Pyramids Sell for €378, 000Handwritten notes by the English scientist Sir lsaac Newton were sold at a Sotheby's London auction on 7 December, fetching €378, 000. The three pages of notes, which date from the 1680s, showNewton1to work out the structure and exact measurements of ancient Egyptian pyramids. The notes are burnt around the2, which is thought to be the result of Newton's dog jumping up on the table and knocking over a candle.Newton, who lived from 1642 to 1727, is most famous for discovering the laws of gravity. However, among his many other3, he wanted to work out the date and timings ofthe Apocalypse（末世）. He thought that the key to this knowledge might be in the ancient pyramids at Giza, Egypt.By studying the4of individual bricks, the length of tunnels and the height of chambers, Newton thought he would be able to work out the secrets of the pyramids and therefore unpick mysteries of Apocalypse, too. Newton also thought studying the pyramids could help him to work out the circumference（周长）of the Earth—a5piece in his work on gravity.At the time, several people believed that the ancient Egyptians had access to important knowledge and secrets that were6when their civilisation ended. This belief was central to the study of alchemy（炼金术）. Although Newton was very interested in alchemy, he kept this hidden because he thought it would7his career. He was known as an Enlightenment scientist.However, Newton8showed more interest in alchemy than in science and maths. In 1936, a sale of Newton's paperwork at Sotheby's auction house revealed how far his research and interest in alchemy9. John Maynard Keynes, an economist, bought some of those papers. He said that Newton was "not the first of the age of10, he was the last of the magicians". The notes that sold on 7 December are thought to be part of the same body of work.二、Reading Comprehension（本大题共5小题，共45分）3、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第16题15分Thieving Monkeys—Name Your PriceHuman beings are not the only species able to negotiate a deal.If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be careful. The long—tailed macaques（猕猴）there are well—known thieves. They make a living by1visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid. That is quite clever. But professor Jean—Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer sill. Sometimes, they do not accept thefirst2and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to3how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest ina4tourist, they recorded the interaction. Not all attempts at robbery were successful. But of those that were, they analysed the5of almost 2, 200.To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the6values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations7tourists who want to get their property back: raw eggs, biscuits and small bags of fruit. Different monkeys have different8, but professor Leca established these for9animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.To confirm which stealable objects are most10by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and camera bags; accessories such as key rings; hats and headgear; shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed, from the video recordings, how often victims11to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and12classified objects into low value(the first two classes on the list), medium value(the second two)and high value(the third two).They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing—13, adults and sub—adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high—value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young ones make no such14, and sub—adults are less good at doing so than adults. In monkeys, as in people, guile（狡猾）is not a trick that is inborn. It has tobe15.A. warningB. robbingC. remindingD. clearingA. depositB. dishC. offerD. preyA. assignB. assistC. assureD. assessA. particularB. principalC. peculiarD. progressiveA. impactsB. detailsC. attacksD. motionsA. preciseB. scientificC. optionalD. relativeA. in spite ofB. in honor ofC. with regard toD. on behalf ofA. preferencesB. potentialsC. performancesD. predictionsA. individualB. independentC. collectiveD. cooperativeA. identifiedB. valuedC. exchangedD. rewardedA. refusedB. managedC. botheredD. happenedA. insteadB. otherwiseC. thusD. meanwhileA. in practiceB. at leastC. in allD. at lengthA. differencesB. distinctionsC. distributionsD. demandsA. acquiredB. reversedC. managedD. informed4、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第17题8分"Uncle Chuchu, look!"

The research would not have been possible without some 1, 200 volunteers who uploaded nearly 10, 000 photos to the SLIME project (Snails and Slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments)on an app called iNaturalist."So the entire existence of that paper is dependent upon these citizen scientists. How do you credit those people? " said Greg Pauly from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. "There are some very specific requirements that a lot of journals and a lot of academic societies use. And those requirements largely would exclude nonprofessional scientists. And to me, that's absurd." That's why Pauly, together with Vendetti, and several Australian biologists are arguing that criteria must change to recognize citizen scientists as authors on scientific journal articles.They propose what they're calling "group co-authorship." The author list on Vendetti's snail-and-slug paper includes the phrase "citizen science participants in SLIME." But the phrase is absent when you look up the paper on Google Scholar. The publication software simply isn't equipped to handle that kind of authorship, and so it erases the group's vital contribution.In another case, several years ago in Australia, a team of researchers tried to condition native lizards not to eat the poisonous cane toads. The only reason it was successful was because they partnered with the traditional landowners in northwestern Australia, and this group was called the Balanggarra Rangers.Several journals flat-out refused to allow for the inclusion of the Rangers as group co-authors. Eventually, the researchers did convince the editors of some journals to allow it, but the group's title was shortened, as if it was a first and last name, in online indexing software： "B. Rangers."The researchers argue that these errors and omissions don't only make the critical contributions of a native community as invisible, they could also be seen as showing prejudice."If the person who had made that contribution was a graduate student who was trying to pursue a career in the sciences, we would all say, 'Oh, of course that person should be a co-author'. But we don't necessarily extend that same line of reasoning to citizen scientists."Allowing for group co-authorship is not a new idea. In 2004 the journal Nature published a paper titled "Initial Sequencing and Analysis of the Human Genome." It listed as the sole author the "International Human Genome Sequencing Association." "So let's just choose this group-authorship model and turn it into group co-authorships. This really shouldn't be that hard."(1) What can be learned about Vendetti's snail-and-slug paper?A. It is the first paper to credit citizen scientists on the title page.B. It describes snails and slugs living in metropolitan environments.C. It is available on the publication software Google Scholar.D. It includes 10, 000 photos of snails and slugs in Southern California.(2) What can be inferred about Balanggarra Rangers?A. They are familiar with native animals and plants.B. They make a living by hunting native lizards.C. They are good business people.D. They are world famous as B.Rangers.(3) Why is the example of a graduate student mentioned in the 7th paragraph?A. To point out the omissions in the line of reasoning.B. To highlight the contribution of a native community.C. To argue against showing favor for a particular group.D. To prove that not crediting citizen scientists is unfair.(4) The author's purpose of writing the article is to.A. expose the unfair practice in the scientific communityB. call for the wide recognition of group co-authorshipC. call on more people to become citizen scientistsD. explain the origin of the term group co-authorship7、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第20题8分Computers Confirm Beethoven's Influence Beethoven is a giant of classical music. And the most influential, too—at least, when it comes to piano compositions. That's according to a study in the journal EPJ Data Science.If you're wondering how data analysis could determine something as abstract as cultural influence, there is something worth remembering about music.1Because a lot of it is symbolic: it's closely related to time. The music is written in symbols that are connected in time!Juyong Park is a theoretical physicist by training. Park and his colleagues collected 900 piano compositions by 19 composers spanning the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, from 1700 to 1910. Then they used that mathematical quality to their advantage by dividing each composition into what they called "code words," in other words, a chord（和弦）.2The composer with top marks for originality? Rachmaninoff. But when the researchers looked at those chord transitions across all 19 composers, it was Beethoven who was most heavily borrowed from meaning.3However, the study comes with a couple of limitations.Again, the researchers only considered piano compositions in this work—not orchestral works. And by only studying chord transitions, their conclusions wouldn't capture artists who were influential in other ways. It's well understood that Mozart's contribution to music comes from the musical forms that he devised.4As for Park, the results convinced him he has some listening to do. "I like Rachmaninoff's music but I have to confess, I have listened to Beethoven way more than Rachmaninoff. So after this work came out, I ended up buying his whole complete collection from Amazon. I'm waiting for this collection to arrive." It seems that Park turned a minor interest into a major commitment—in a key way.A. That was not very well captured by the mathematical modeling.B. It is the most mathematical of the art forms we actually can deal with.C. One may find it tempting to attach different labels to composers, like Beethoven as a heroic figure or Chopin as the poet of the piano.D. They then compared each chord to the chord that came after it to determine how creative composers were at coming up with original transitions（变调）.E. He was an enthusiast and great admirer of Beethoven's music.F. At least among the composers in this analysis, his influence was the largest.三、Summary Writing（本大题共1小题，共10分）8、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第21题10分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.Filter（过滤） BubblesIn our digital age, whether we realize it or not, we're all becoming trapped in "filter bubbles"—invisible, mental cages built from our prejudices and desire for comfort.We create this trap by doing things like exposing ourselves to politically-biased （有偏见的）news and entertainment or surrounding ourselves with like-minded friends. Digital algorithms（算法）enhance our problem by learning what we like and filling our social media with opinion-supporting content. The result is a personalized daily environment that filters out contrary points of view. Media algorithms are intensifying our tendency to self-isolate by strengthening the false view that our opinions are obviously true and moral.We become fooled into believing that our opinions about complex issues are unquestionable. Meanwhile, the filter bubbles of those who disagree with us mislead them in the same way. This partial view of reality weakens our thinking, strains（伤害）our relationships and divides our societies. How can two people have a respectful, open-minded discussion when they both believe that only a stupid or dishonest person would disagree with them?To get along with family, friends and fellow citizens, we must burst our filter bubbles. We can do this by cultivating meaningful relationships with people who think differently from us. This lets us experience the reality that people who believe "bad" things can be just as good and as intelligent as we are.We can also receive balanced information by consuming news and entertainment from across the political and ideological scale. Determining right from wrong is complicated. Living outside of our filter bubbles is less comfortable and takes effort, but the personal, relational and societal benefits are rich.四、Translation（本大题共4小题，共15分）9、【来源】 2021年上海杨浦区高三二模第22题3分翻译显然，这个男孩把配图贴错了地方。

杨浦恒高一对一五角场补习班各区高考英语阅读汇编整理上海浦东新区高考英语二模(A)Fans of reptiles like snakes will want to pay more attention to a special vehicle that has recently hit the streets: the Super Green Turtle Machine.Just like Batman has his Batmobile, Jesse Rothacker and Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary (FFRS) can now be found touring Lancaster County in the Super Green Turtle Machine, a van with an important mission. Rothacker had co-written a song called “Super Green Turtle Machine” with musician Steven Courtney. The song became the inspiration for the van.FFRS is celebrating its 12th year rescuing and advocating for reptiles and creatures of all shapes and sizes. The Super Green Turtle Machine will be rolling out to upcoming Forgotten Friend programs and frequent reptile rescue calls. “We hav e more than 60 educational events already scheduled for 2016,” Rothacker mentioned. The programs will educate audiences of all ages about reptiles and other amazing animals that are often given a bad reputation.“The idea behind the Turtle Machine is to ta ke a marginalized animal group like reptiles and give them some positive publicity on social media,” Rothacker explained. When reptile fans see the van parked with its colorful turtle mascot (吉祥物) giving a thumb-up, they are invited to take a photo with the vehicle with their own thumbs up sign. “Lots of people will have an opportunity to tell their friends on Facebook and Twitter that they give reptiles a thumb-up,”Rothacher said. “Then they can post their pictures to social media with the tag Give Reptiles AChance.” To sweeten the deal, FFRS will choose several winners from those who post photos for special prizes such as T-shirts, books, and other reptile-related items.In addition to the positive publicity, the Super Green Turtle Machine will serve a more practical purpose, as well. Rothacker and his team hope to make a few more changes to the van in the future. “The main work is done, but we’d love to finish her up,” Rothacker shared. “We have plans to add flashing caution lights for when we stop to he lp snakes and turtles cross the road.” Further enhancements to the Turtle Machine include adding extra tools to help with reptile rescue pickups and live educational events.As FFRS is a non-profit, donations toward the Super Green Turtle Machine are tax deductible. Interested individuals may contribute at www. /doc/2411080762.html,.66. What can we learn from the passage about Jesse Rothacker?A. He is good at composing songs.B. He has many batmobiles.C. He cures creatures of all shapes and sizes.D. He works for FFRS.67. What’s the mission of the Super Green Turtle Machine?A. To roll out to the street for people to take pictures with.B. To publicize reptiles positively and give them practical help.C. To inspire people with the songs the van plays.D. To choose the winners from those posting good photos.68.

According to Rothacker, which of the following is NOT among the possible changes to the van?A. Flashing caution lights.B. Colourful turtle mascots.C. Tools for live educational events.D. Reptile rescue pickup tools.上海闸北区高考英语二模A driving goal for most websites is for that site to be easily found by people looking for the products or services. One of the ways people may find these sites is via a search engine. With this in mind, companies obviously want their websites to ____51____search engines as well.First of all, website content should be unique and timely. Only quality content ensures that customers will ___52____your website and also recommend it to friends via links or through social channels. This act of sharing not only gives your site more chances of public____53____but it also helps to push up your search engine rankings, which extends huge psychological implication to other engine users as people tend to ___54___.Now famous search engines such as Google use mobile friendliness as a ranking signal in their ranking algorithm(算术). Therefore, if your site is not ____55____for mobile devices, you are offering a less than ideal experience to some users and in result search engines will take the___56__into account.Another key ranking signal that Google and other search engines ____57____heavily is page speed and overall siteperformance. If your site is located with too many high-resolution images and videos or other elements, much viewing time will be caused. These will make sluggish, slow loading that frustrate and often drive away visitors. It’s time to ___58____the page size as all the visitors appreciate faster download. Some are even willing to _____59_____better visual experiences for high viewing speed. As user pre ference stands on top of any search engine’s list of priority, search engines will look very ___60____upon the speed improvements of the websites.In addition, for a hot website, appropriate update frequently is also vital. Although the content is current and up to date when it is first launched, it will soon lose its ___61___with the explosion of other various online resources. If the content on your websites has appeared on other sites before, your website is sooner or later to be deserted because of huma ns’ nature of having a low____62____threshold(门槛). In turn, your website’s search ___63___will drop drastically.Finally, don’t look down on customer experience. Too often people ignore the benefits of creating a viewing experience that is enjoyable. When assessing your website’s user friendliness, understand that___64___of use comes first, but do not discount the benefits of adding a bit of____65___into that experience as well.51.

However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.4. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs?A. They often have people hurt.B. They are difficult to practice.C. People have a wrong view on it.D. People practice them more often.5. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Difficult.C. Friendly.D. Exciting.6. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?A. Adjusting the breath.B. Enjoying one’s free time.C. Correcting the movement.D. Keeping one’s attention.7. What does the writer think of martial arts?A. They are notsports.B. They attracted many teenagers.C. They are beneficial and helpful.D. They were invented to protect others.CByteDance（字节跳动）Group’s TikTok, an overseas version of Chinese short video sharing app Douyin, faces an existential crisis in the United States, as murmurs of a “crackdown”（强制取缔）from the White House forced the Chinese company toengage in talks on selling its US business to Microsoft.TikTok is the fastest-growing registered global mobile internet app, with more than 100 million users, and its rapid growth, especially in the US, is seen as a threat to Facebook. The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack down on（打击）them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to dealwith TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating（合并）the dispute into the US legal process to assert（坚持）its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.8. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.9. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.10. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.11. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technologyDSam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.I'm back where I started from.Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountainair and try to solve my problem more realistically.12. What does this excerpt main describe?A. Delicate mental activities.B. Unique story environment.C. Everchanging story events.D. Complicated character relationship.13. What is Sam's first worry?A. How to get back quicklyB. How to get enough venison.C. How to ensure the safety of Frightful.D. How to provide meat for Alice and himself.14. What do we know about Frightful?A. He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food.B. He helped Sam hunt before being taken away.C. He is living with the red-tailed hawk happily.D. He has given birth to babies in the university.15. Which of the following can best describe Sam?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Responsible.D. Unrealistic.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.Dear Editor,Most public libraries now offer all visitors, kids and adults alike, free access to all sites on the Internet. Just like any powerful tool, __41__ must be placed on it. After all, not all sites are good for children or appropriate for them. Some are violent. Some, in the name of free speech, say irresponsible things. Others feature __42__ information for research. And many should be __43__ “For Adults Only.〞In 2000, there were 7 .1 million publicly __44__ sites on the Web, with over 200 new adult sites added each day. Couple this figure with the fact that there are __45__ 200 million American children under the age 18 with Internet access, and you have a recipe for disaster.Back in l967, the American Library Association (ALA) passed a resolution〔决议〕that stated “a person’s right to use a library should not be __46__ … because of origin, age, background, or views.〞Some groups argue that this resolution gives children the right to free and total access to the Internet and its unsuitable sites.This resolution was fine in the past, but it never considered the __47__ of the Inter net. Besides, the ALA isn’t a government agency. It has no power to pass laws, and its resolutions are not __48__ binding〔有约束力的〕.We must pass real laws that __49__ U .S. government funds for library computers to the use of software that __50__ out offensi ve material online. If the libraries don’t use the software, then they don’t get computers.As a working parent, I can’t be with my child every time he turns on the computer. I don’t expect libraries to be babysitters. But I do expect them to work with me, not against me, in making sure my child is protected from adult-only and other irresponsible sites.Sincerely,Julie RichardsonRedding, CaliforniaIII. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: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.How many New Year’s resolutions have been made, only todissolve before the end of the month or even the week As we all know, making a decision is easy, but being consistent is not. This is __51__ true when a sense of achievement is not enough __52__ to reach a goal. Dean Karlan, an economics professor at Yale University, knows all too well that people don’t always follow through with what they say they want to do. __53__, provided with the right incentives (奖励、鼓励), people are more likely to __54__ their goals, such as losing weight or exercising __55__. Mr Karlan believes, __56__ on his own experience and years of research, that commitment contracts help people __57__ commitment they would not otherwise keep.Karlan brainstormed about his idea with a fellow professor and a student at Yale. Together, they soon __58__ stickK , a website where people __59__ commitment contracts. The second K in stickK is the shorthand symbol for contract used in legal documents. In a contract, a person usually agrees to place a bet on a certain goal. If the goal is not reached by a __60__, the amount of money that is bet is __61__ to a charity, a friend, or even a(n) __62__. Losing money is a very __63__ threat as well as a strong incentive. That is why people that are eager to get rid of those unwanted pounds __64__ give out their credit card information when they place their bets on stick. Office workers,college students, and even athletes have had __65__ taking advantage of this service. If you still need stimuli to lose weight this year, rush to stick, place a bet, and start exercising right away.51. A. gradually B. obviously C. especially D. desperately52.

A. terrible experience B. good relationshipC. negative influenceD. great successSection BDirections: 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 the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Rock climbing might seem extremely dangerous, but most climbers know what they’re doing. Over the years, climbers know what they’re doing. Over the years, climbers have developed knowledge and techniques that allow them to conquer rocks safely. There are different kinds of rock climbing, and it’s mainly based on the equipment used. The two main categories are aid climbing and free climbing. Aid climbing uses equipment, such as screws (螺丝钉) inserted into rocks, to help climbers pull themselves to the top. In free climbing, most climbers use equipment only to protect themselves from falling; they don’t use any tool to help them climb up the rock. In free climbing, it’s all about skill, strength, and knowledge.You might think that muscles are the most important factors in this extreme sport. Not so, says Jeremy Norin, a rock climber in US. “You can’t muscle your way through climbing no matter how hard you try,〞he says. More important factors are balance, coordination, and the ability to make your body tense, which helps climbers pull themselves up. Norin also says that lower-body strength is actually more important than upper-body strength. One of the best climbers Norin knows can only do seven pull-ups, but he has no problems climbing up some of the most rugged rock faces around.Although some climbers have mastered the sport, beginners are welcome. Start with bouldering, a kind of climbing without a rope that take place on a rock three to five meters tall, so that falling won’t result in serious injury. Believe me – it won’t seem that low when you are looking down from the top.66. The main difference between aid climbing and free climbing lies in ______.A. the function of the equipmentB. the way climbers keep balanceC. the rocks climbers choose to conquerD. the strength climbers use67. Which of the following statements is TRUE about freeclimbingA. Screws are required so climbers can pull themselves up.B. Skill, strength and knowledge play a great role in it.C. Climbers are not allowed to use any kind of tools.D. The rules are not so strict as those of aid climbing.68. What can we learn from the example of the climber Norin knows (in para. 2)A. Conquering rocks has nothing to do with strength.B. Muscles are the most important factors in rock climbing.C. The more pull-ups a climber does, the tenser his body will be.D. Upper-body strength is not as important as lower-body strength.69. The writer suggests that beginners should ______.A. first take a basic level courseB. overcome the fear of heightC. climb without a rope to a lower heightD. learn to protect themselves from injury(B)Elephant RidingAt Thom's Elephant Camp we take great pride in our animals! We have happy Elephants.Just being close to one of these beautiful giants is simply amazing; riding bareback into the mountains, high up on Ot, Pom Paem or Tutdao — feeling the sway (摇摆) of their gait as they move sure-footedly through the jungle is a wonderful adventure.Bathing in the river with theelephants and playing with themin the water is an experience youwill never forget!You can choose treks of betweenone and three hours; choose to ride with or without a seat and afterwards, if you care to, play with them in the river and feed them.Round off your day by bathing in our hot tubs —the water comes directly from Tha Pai Hot Springs.Bamboo RaftingBamboo rafting is an experience you should not miss.

Bamboo weaving.(C)Students wishing to safeguard their careers against changes in the job market should choose science rather than arts degrees, according to a survey of undergraduates. Engineering and chemistry were considered to be the most “future proof〞, as they are courses most likely to lead to an enduring and adaptable career.Students polled by a college were broadly optimistic〔乐观的〕that their chosen courses would prepare them for a world in which the job market could change dramatically during their working lives.But opinion was sharply divided over which degrees were best for future-proof careers.Eighty-two per cent of respondents believed engineering would help develop future-proof skills, with 74 per cent believing the same of chemistry and 73 per cent of computer science. But just 33 per cent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a future-proof career, and 40 per cent English.However more than two thirds of students - 67 per cent - thought the world of work would be significantly different or completely unrecognisable in 20 years.The findings, published today, come after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan sparked controversy〔争论〕with claims that teenagers should steer clear of the arts and humanities and choose science or maths subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs.She said that in previous decades students would only take maths or science if they wanted to pursue a specific career such as medicine or pharmacy, but nowadays that “couldn’t be further from the truth〞.“If you wanted to do something different, or even if you didn’t know what you wanted to do…then the arts and humanities were what you chose. Because they were useful –we were told – for all kinds of jobs. Of course now we know that coul dn’t be further from the truth, and that the subjects that keep young people’s options open and unlock doors to all sorts of careers are the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.〞She also described maths as the subject that employers value most and said that pupils who study A-level maths will earn 10 per cent more over their lifetime.“These figures show us that too many young people are making choices at the age of 15 which will hold them back for the rest of their lives,〞she said.74. According to most students, what will the world of work be like in 20 yearsA. The same as it is now.B. Greatly different from what it is now.C. Dramatically challenging.D. More open with a wider range of jobs.75. Which of the following is closest in meaning to theunderlined phrase “steer clear of〞A. keep away fromB. be familiar withC. have a good command ofD. catch up with76. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. Students who choose science have a wide choice of careersexcluding medicine and pharmacy.B. Few students are satisfied with their chosen courses, forthey don’t help develop future-proof skills.C. Arts and humanities used to be considered as future-proofdegrees unlocking doors to many careers.D. 73% of the respondents are studying computer science,believing it leads to enduring career.77. Which of the following is FALSE about the students who choose mathsA. They will enjoy more job opportunities after graduation.B. They are likely to earn more money if they study A-level maths.C. They will likely be favored by employers over students of other majors.D. They are learning a subject that will hold them back in the future.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Do you feel stressed if your phone is not in sightDon’t be. Just the sight of your mo bile phone can distract 〔转移，分心〕you – even if you have turned it off and put it on the table, researchers from the University of Southern Maine in the US have found.The researchers asked two groups of students to carry out two different tasks which require paying attention.First, they were given a page of 20 rows of numbers and asked to circle one number in particular whenever they saw it.Second, they had to do the same and also cross off any two numbers in different rows that were next to each other and added up to the target number.During both experiments, half the students kept their phones on their desks and the other half put them out of sight.Those who put their phones in their pocket or their bag got an average of 20 percent higher in the test.W e love using phones so much that it’s becoming a problem, previous studies have found.An Android app followed how many times its 150,000 users checked their phone per day in 2021. The average figure was 110 times.A team at Baylor University in the US published a study in September saying that female students spent an average of 10hours a day texting, e-mailing and on social media, while male students spent nearly eight.Why are we behaving like this People want a “constant connectivity〞, said Bill Thornton, a social psychologist at the University of Southern Maine in the US. Many “check their phones when they wake up and as the last thing before they go to bed〞, he told the Daily Mail.Such behavior is bad for “our ability to maintain attention〞, he added. Also, we react more slowly as a result.If you are always getting distracted by your phone, here’s some advice for you: create a no-phone time zone.First, find out at least two hours of your day when you’re most productive. Then turn off your phone and stay completely dedicated to the work you have to do.Oh yes, and don’t forget to put the phone away as well. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. The result of the two experiments shows that______________________________________.79.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.My Life on an Island (宝山)We live on the island of Hale. Ifs about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide at its broadest point, and it‘s joined to the mainland by a causeway (21)__________ (call) Stand—a narrow road built across the mouth of the river (22)__________ separates us from the rest of the country. Most of the time you wouldn‘t know we‘re on an island because the river mouth between us and the mainland is just a vast stretch of tall grasses and brown mud. But when there‘s a high tide and the water rises a half meter or so above the road and nothing can pass (23)__________ the tide goes out again a few hours later, then you know it‘s an island.We were on our way back (24)__________ the mainland. My old brother, Dominic, had just finished his first year at university in a town 150 km away. Dominic‘s train was due in at five and he‘d asked for a lift back from the station. Now, Dad normally hates being disturbed when he (25)__________ (write) (which is just about all the time), and he also hates having to go anywhere, but despite the typical sighs and moans –why can‘t he get a taxi? What‘s wrong with the bus?—I could tell by the flash in the eyes that he was really looking forward to (26)__________ (see) Dominic.So, anyway, Dad and I had driven to the mainland and picked up Dominic from the station. He had been talking non-stop from the moment he‘d got in the car. University this, university that, writers, books, parties, people, money…I didn‘t like the way he spoke and waved his hands around (27)__________ __________he was some kind of scholar or something. It was embarrassing. It made me feel uncomfortable—that kind of discomfort you feel when someone you like, someone close to you, sudden ly starts acting like a complete idiot. And I didn‘t like the way he was ignoring me, either. For all the attention I was getting I (28)__________ as well not have been there. I felt a stranger in my own car.We were about halfway across when I saw a boy. My first thought was how odd it was (29)__________ (see) someone walking on the Stand. You don‘t often see people walking around here. As we drew (30)__________ (close), he became clearer. He was actually a young man rather than a boy. It‘s hard to explain…Suspended Coffee （崇明）How about buying a cup of coffee for someone you‘ll never meet?The idea, begun in Naples, Italy, and called ―Suspended Coffee‖—i.e., a customer pays for acoffee and ―banks‖it for someone (21)_____________ (fortunate) —has become an international internet sensation(轰动) with coffee shops in Europe and North America (22)______________(participate) in themovement. The Facebook page alone has more than 28,000 ―likes‖.The tradition of ―suspended coffee‖ is a long-standing tradition in Italy (23)_______ increased inpopularity after the Second World War. Recently the practice was starting to take hold in other European countries (24)__________(hit) hard economically.Homegrown Hamilton, a coffee chain of Canada, has decided to join th e effort. ―It‘s a fantasticinitiative (25)__________we decided to help out. We had been doing it pretty much anyway, just not undera banner. During the winter, we were giving away coffee or soup to the homeless,‖ said manager MikePattison, ―Staff members are always close to the coffeehouse‘ front door, and (26)____________they seesomeone walking by who looks like they want, a coffee but can‘t afford it, they approach that person. If the offer (27)____________(accept), they provide the coffee.‖However, not everyone supports the idea.In a posting on the website, Consumerist, columnist Laura Northrup raises (28)_______number ofobjections, including that coffee isn‘t nutritious food for people who are hungry and (29)___________theaction could result in ―greedy people‖ taking advantage of others‘ kindness. He says people (30)__________consider other ways to help.Prepare to Succeed（奉贤）People are always thinking about success. It is usually in their brains as they go about theirdaily routines (21)_______(look) for something better. This thought isn't one (22)________ brings youcloser, however, because thinking, dreaming or wishing just doesn't get it done.One of the most important parts of personal or professional success is preparation. You may ask, ―Why is preparation necessary?"The easiest answer to this question is to say that (23)__________ you are not ready to moveforward, then you may just as well keep doing what you have always done.Success doesn‘t come easy. There are no shortcuts. Success requires you to be prepared to sacrifice leisure time, or time spent watching television or going out with your friends, at every opportunity.Success means you are prepared to do (24)_________it takes to constantly move the yardsticksforward day after day.Here is just one quote, from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, that expresses what preparation is (25)___________ : "Our real problem is not our strength today. It is ratherthe vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.‖ This quote can (26)____________(interpret) to mean that you may have strength or confidenceto start on your way right now to movetoward your final goal. However, it is also critical that committed action each day (27) ___________ (build) to help you keep going when obstacles arise or when you just don't feel like you have the interest or energy to stay (28)___________(focus).Preparation also means that you have a plan or a goal that shows you what steps or actions to take, when to lake them and what to do if issues, obstacles or (29)________life issues get in the way.(30)_________bottom line is actually quite clear: You arc either willing, able and committed toachieve what you want, or you are simply dreaming or wishing that success find you.选词填空（宝山）Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on developing stronger science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum(课程) and programs, as these disciplines are widely ___31___ as the means to help innovation and support national economies.This trend reflects a shift in how school disciplines are being looked at; schools are ___32___ on subjects that have traditionally been isolated from each other —science, mathematics, and art—in favor of deeper, interdisciplinary learning. K-12 education leaders are pioneering new methods for combining the arts with STEM activities, ___33___the ways in which subjects naturally connect in the real world. While this new movement is being discussed almost clearly and directly in an education context, its roots are planted across nearly every industry. In many ways, technology is the connective tissue. Similarly, engineering new transportation technologies requires artful design. The growing ___34___ of the important unions between different skills is paving the way for STEAM in schools.Some doubts of this movement have dismissed the ___35___ as a mere fashion driven by artists who are concerned their profession is losing critical support in an increasingly technology-focused society. However, the Hilburn Academy argues that STEAM is not just a contemporary program of learning, but an important life philosophy—___36___ for higher education and career success. Schools should provide students plentiful opportunities to ___37___ the complexities and complicated layers that include content knowledge. Early examples of STEAM learning include teaching students how mathematical concepts such as geometry(几何学) are rooted in artworks.While the rise of STEAM learning is relatively new, there are already figures that prove that the integration of these seemingly ___38___ disciplines is supporting student performance at school. A study conducted by the University of Florida ___39___ that students who are engaged in music class do better in math. For example, female high school students enrolled in a music appreciation class scored 42 points higher on the math section of their SATs. Formal experience with the arts is proven to cultivate innovative thinking, adaptability, and other problem-solving skills that are necessary for mastering STEM abilities. In other words, ___40___is a pioneer for students to understand, use, and apply technologies in new ways.崇明Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental HealthMilitary service is obviously rough on a service member‘s mental health. According to some 31_________, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four monthsof returning home after leaving the army.The military is spending more money than ever to 32_________mental health issues within the ranks, and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33_________ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy, medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app isn‘t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35_________record of a service member‘s mental health.Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate results on the36_________conditions of service members who have returned home. ―Therapists and physicians often have to rely on patient 37_________when trying to gather information about symptoms over the previous weeks or months,‖ Bosmajian said. ―Resear ch has shown that information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of an experience is when it‘s recorded at the time and place it happens.‖The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的）stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39_______ that can be observed by physicians and therapists.The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40_______ on the Android Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be __31____, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also showstubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attemptsmay be made to fill every 32_______ with conversation. Persons in other culturalgroups value silence and view itas necessary for understanding a person‘s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 33_______ among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 34________ is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for 35_______.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 36________ among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 37_______ between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an eldder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 38________ meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient‘s silence is not 39___________ too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 40_________ of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.完型填空宝山Anxiety disorders —defined by extreme fear, restlessness, and muscle tension —are carefully considering, disabling, and can increase the risk for ___41___ and self-murder. They are some of the most common mental health conditions around the world, ___42___ around four out of every 100 people and costing the health care system and job employers over US$42 billion each year.People with anxiety are more likely to miss days from work and are less ___43___. Young people with anxiety are also less likely to enter school and complete it ——leading to fewer life ___44___. Even though this evidence points to anxiety disorders as being important mental health issues, insufficient ___45___ is being given to them by researchers, clinicians, andpolicy makers.My team and I at the University of Cambridge wanted to find out who is most affected by anxiety disorders.To do this, we conducted a systematic ___46___ of studies that reported on the proportion of people with anxiety in a variety of contexts around the world, and used accurate methods to keep the highest quality studies.Our results showed women are almost twice as likely to ___47___ anxiety as men, and people living in Europe and North America are disproportionately affected.So why are women more ___48___?It could be because of differences in brain chemistry and hormone(荷尔蒙) variations. Reproductive events across a woman‘s life are ___49___ with hormonal changes, which have been linked to anxiety. The rise in oestrogen (雌激素) that occurs during pregnancy can ___50___ the risk for uncontrollable disorder.This is ___51___ by disturbing and repetitive thoughts, impulses and addictions that are upsetting and less effective. But in addition to biological mechanisms, women and men seem to experience and react to events in their life ___52___. Women tend to be more likely to stress, which can increase their anxiety. Also, when faced with stressful situations, women and men tend to use different coping ___53___. Women faced with life stressors are more likely to think about them seriously, which can increase their anxiety, ___54___ men engage more in active, problem-focused coping.Other studies suggest that women are more likely to ___55___ physical and mental mistreatment than men, and this behavior has been linked to the development of anxiety disorders.41.

Why they feel this way is 41________, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag.The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞）42________ crossing timezones. These cells in our brains 43 ________our biological clocks. However，the cells don‘t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44________ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it‘s 45________ for us to extend the length of a day—for example, by flying west across time zones—than to shorten the day, by flying east.The scientists found that for 46________ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully47________in a littleless than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days.However, when a person tra vels eastward, the recovery time doesn‘t match up as 48________. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49________ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days.Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50________ , it variesfrom person to person. The other factor to consider is 51________ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 52________how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone.The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to 53________ jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 ________the new time zone. That means that if it‘s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it‘s nighttime, avoid artificial 55________, including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust.41. A. incredible B. apparent C. surprising D. unclear42.

Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding 42_______ sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to 43_________.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be 44_______ but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers‘45_______ to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand‘s46_______ as the quality of itswindow displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very 47_____ experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the ___48_____for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants‘ ____49___ attitude and don‘t-touch-what-you-can‘t-afford displays. Now the 50________ of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店）can offer a full experience from the minute customers 51_______ through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a(n) 52_________. And scent is just one way to53______ this.Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder 54_______ through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store‘s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, 55________their perfect scent.41.A. engaged B. delivered C. displayed D. located42.A. connected with B. compared with C. combined with D. came up with43.A. purchase B. wander C. appreciate D. identify44.A. instructiveB.attractive C. expensive D. informative45.A. expressionB.demand C. intention D. attention46.A. profession B. project C. relation D. success47.

(67)__________Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot‘s particular skills and benefits.―As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)w orkers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won‘t steal job opportunities. (68)__________‖De Momi explains.To conduct their experiment De Momi‘s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar.(69)__________These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were ―biologically inspired,‖ w hich would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded.These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi‘s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms.(70)__________De Momi‘s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later.崇明区Tutoring a New NormalIt‘s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity in the West is going to a tutor. ―I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It‘s costly,‖ says Pet, a mother in Canada.However, she adds, ―after finding out half my daughter‘s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.‖Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. ―When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always shouting. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for o ne entire hour and could get most of their homework done.‖Tutoring isn‘t simply a private school phenomenon. 67________In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. 68________As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.69________ ―A lot of parents just do n‘t have time to help their children with homework,‖ says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. ―Others couldn‘t help their children after Grade 3.‖There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. ―Children used to get bullied(欺侮）for having a tutor,‖Diamond says. ―Now it‘s becoming the norm to have one.‖70________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child‘s classmates have tutors. ―For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need，‖ she says. Still, she‘s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.奉贤区No matter how early she went to bed, Maggie couldn't fall asleep until the early hours. Though constantly exhausted, Maggie got good grades in school, but she often got in trouble for napping during her morning classes.After graduating from college, Maggie realized her dream of becoming a teacher. However, waking up for her 8:30 a.m. classes turned her into a zombie (无生气的人) , and she lost her jobbecause she lacked enthusiasm.Maggie isn‘t lazy. She suffers from delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS，睡眠相位后移症候群)—a disorder that affects one in 750 adults that causes them to be somewhat nocturnal （夜间活动的）. DSPS is often confused with insomnia(失眠），perhaps because sufferers seem tired duringthe day. However, the two disorders are very different. Insomniacs have trouble with the process offalling asleep. 67__________ They just can‘t fall asleep early even if they want to.Essentially, DSPS means a person's internal clock is set differently.68____________ As a result,they're out of sync(同步）with the rest of society. People with DSPS struggle to keep their eyes open during morning meetings because their bodies are convinced it‘s the middle of the night. They seem less efficient and creative at the office, and make more workplace accidents. DSPS also damages their health, causing depression, anxiety, heart disease and many other illnesses due to sleep deprivation.69_________ Fortunately, that‘s not the case. Flex ible work schedules are already verycommon. Traditionally, managers tend to think more people in the office equals more output, but new research shows that people who work flexible hours are more productive and more likely to stay with their company because they are happier and healthier. Thanks to these findings, many European countries have passed laws giving every worker the right to apply for a flexible work arrangement. According to Cary Cooper, a psychologist at Lancaster University, most U.K. employees will be working half from home in five years.This is great news not just for DSPS sufferers but also for their companies. 70_________ Consequently, they will be able to save a large sum of money.Summary Writing宝山区A good story encourages us to turn the next page and read more. We want to find out what happens next and what the main characters do and what they say to each other. We may feel excited, sad, afraid, angry or really happy. This is because the experience of reading or listening to a story is much more likely to make us ‗feel‘ that we are part of the story, too. Just like in our ‗real‘ lives, we might love or hate different characters in the story. Perhaps we recognize ourselves or others in some of them. Perhaps we have similar problems.Because of this natural sympathy for the characters, our brains process the reading of stories differently from the way we read factual information. Our brains don‘t always recognize the difference between an imagined situa tion and a real one so the characters become ‗alive‘ to us. What they say and do is therefore more meaningful. This is why the words and structures that relate a story‘s events, descriptions and conversations are processed in this deeper way.In fact, cultures all around the world have always used storytelling to pass knowledge from one generation to another. Our ancestors understood very well that this was the best way to make sure our histories and information about how to relate to others and to our world was not only understood, but remembered too.。

Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each wordMaking a Mistake Can Put Your Brain ON “Pause”Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in.When facing fast decisions, even the _____31___distraction of noting an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.“We have a brain region that monitors and says …you messed up‟so that we can correct our behavior,”says psychologist George Buzzell, now at the University of Maryland in College Park. But sometimes, that monitoring system can backfire, _____32___us from the task at hand and causing us to make another error.“There does seem to be a little bit of time f or people, after mistakes, where you‟re sort of ___33___,” says Jason Moser,a psychologist at Michigan State University, who wasn‟t part of the study.To test people‟s ____34__ to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfa x, Va., monitored 23 participants‟ brain activity while they worked through a challenging task. Concentric（同轴的） circles ___35_____briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same color and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy ____36_____by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recorded from the ____37__cortex（大脑皮层）showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded ____38_____.The cognitive demand of noting and ____39___the error seems to divert attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.In real life,people usually have time ——even if just a few seconds ——to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activitiessuch as driving a car or playing musical instrument, people must rebound from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the ___40____of error processing.。

Australian scientists have managed to extract a gene from a preserved sample of a Tasmanian tiger and make it active. Thebreakthroughhas left them dreaming that one day they will be able to recreate the animal, which died out more than 70 years ago. And if it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger, it may also be possible to resurrect (复活) creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever, but no more, ” said Professor Mike Archer. “We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone for ever. What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct. And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment, we can now see the possibilities. I’m personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne, who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum. They removed theequivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as the mouse continued to grow normally, suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr. Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to “induce (引起) a functional response in another living organism”.However, the animal’s entire gene structure would have to be revived in the same way to even begin the possibility of bringing the Tasmanian tiger back from the dead.Mick Mooney, a wildlife officer ofthe Tasmanian Government, was worried that such developments could encourage people’s indifference to the protection of endangered species.“If people think that we can bring animals back to life after they’ve gone, they will start saying that there is nothing to worry about because we can fix it up later.”4. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in the l paragraph refer to?A. Scientists have recreated new animals.B. Scientists have resurrected endangered animal.C. It has turned out that some creatures would not go extinct.D. A tiger gene has been extracted successfully and activated.5. Scientists are carrying out the experiments in order to ________.A. bring extinct animals back to lifeB. transplant the genes of tigers into other animalsC. find out what factors lead to the animals’ extinctionD. find a new way to extract animals’ DNA6. Mike Archer thinks that ________.A. scientists now have no technological difficulty reconnecting extinct animalsB. it’ll be a century or so before a Tasmanian tiger walks on the earth againC. humans have come closer in reconnecting extinct animalsD. reconnecting extinct animals is impossible7. We can learn from Mick Mooncy’s words that_________.A. he thought it unnecessary to worry about endangered animalsB. his opinion is in contrast with that of the Tasmanian GovernmentC. he thought people should be encouraged to protect endangered animalsD. he is concerned that bringing extinct animals back to life may have a negative effectCIn the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northernVirginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).8. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?A. His video caused many arguments.B. His video was shared without his permission.C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.9. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?A. To prove that social media has some benefits.B. To advise people to break away from social media.C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.10. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?A. To attract more users.B. To improve network environment.C. To make more profits.D. To provide more convenientservice.11. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?A. Develop new social-media platforms.B. Remove social media from people’s lives.C. Improve the existing social-media principles.D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.DEvery day in the United States animals are beaten, ignored, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person has serious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. AsMargaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”12. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.13. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans14. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.15. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animals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。

(1) _____ But there’s almost certainly a city park within a short driving distance from your home where you can take the time to look for the peace you desire.When you’re looking for emotional health, keep in mind that many approaches are available. (2) _______Others meditate（冥想）in a quiet place where they can be completely alone.You can be one of those who do so and find that they feel more at peace even when they aren’t in a nature setting. Think about the type of environment you like. Rugged mountains? The ocean? Something else? No matter what kind of scenery you most enjoy, you can find inner peace and harmony there.You can choose to be in a good mood.

So I meanChinese is hard for me, a native English speaker trying to learn Chinese as an adult, with the help of textbooks, tapes, conversation partners, etc. (1) ___________They may have spent years of their lives hitting their heads against the Great Wall of Chinese. So, why is Chinese so hard?1. Because the writing system is complex.Beautiful, complex, mysterious. I, like many students of Chinese, was first attracted to Chinese because of the writing system. It is surely one of the most fascinating scripts in the world. The beauty of the characters is indisputable.Everyone knows that Chinese is hard because of the huge number of characters one has to learn. A lot of popular books and articles just make this difficulty seem to be not that important, saying things like 4tYou really only need to understand 2,000 Chinese characters or so to read a newspaper”. Nonsense. (2) ___________I often had to look up several characters per line, and even after that I still had trouble understanding the whole article.2. Because the language doesn’t correspond to an alphabet.Imagine the kind of task faced by the average Chinese adult who decides to study English. What skills are needed to master the writing system? That’s easy: 26 letters.Now consider an American as a Chinese learner. How can he master the Chinese writing system? There is nothing that corresponds to an alphabet. (3) ___________ How many such parts are there? It depends on how you define “part” plus a lot of other details. In a word, the number is quite large, vastly more than the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet.3. Because it just isn’t very phonetic.What about memorizing so many characters? Now imagine that you. a learner of Chinese, have just the previous day met the Chinese word for “president”（总统, zongtong ) and want to write it. What processes do you go through in retrieving the word? Well, very often you just totally forget. You can repeat the word as often as you like. (4)_____________How to give a great speech?Forget fancy PowerPoint presentations and loads of data. Instead, keep your speech simple, with a clear beginning, middle and end. (1) _____________ “Speeches are an inefficient form of communication,” says Nick Morgan, the president of Public Words, Inc. “People don’t remember much of what they hear, so focus and keep it simple.”Use stories. “People struggle so hard writing speeches when all they have to do is find a message and three great stories to prove it,” says Jane Praeger, a Columbia University professor and the president of the speech presentation and coaching firm.”Those speeches are also easier to deliver because you can recall a story from memory and tell it from your heart. ”(2) _____________Ask yourself what problem the audience wants to solve, and talk about that problem first. “Then and only then, talk about what you are good at as the solution to that problem,” says Morgan. “Audiences start off by asking why. Why am I here? Why should I care? If you answer those questions early, then they'll ask how. Your job is to answer the why question first and then address the how.Drop the thank you, and jump right in. People often make the mistake of starting speeches by thanking the introducer. (3) _____________ “Instead, jump right in with a framing story that suggests what the topic is without giving it all away, a statistic, a question or some kind of interaction with the audience，”says Morgan.Practice your speech beforehand. “You would do better practicing in the shower and running the speech in your head rather than practicing in front of a mirror, which is distracting,” Praeger says. “You do have to practice out loud, hopefully with a small audience.”(4) _____________ “The real secret is to love what you’re doing in that moment,”says Morgan. “If you can relax and be happy about being there, the audience will feel that way, too.”Everybody wants success. Some people aim for it；others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like when someone else has it. Often it just seems like something too far out of reach. The truth to success is closer than you think. (1) __________Only you have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it.Fear is your biggest obstacle—fear of failure, fear of the judgment of others, fear of actually succeeding. It will trip you up every time. It will cause you to make decisions that may seem “right” at the time, but they’re preventing you from actually getting over that wall.(2) __________The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just noise.Go to the other side of obstacles. Everyone faces changes, different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently；we all have different results. It’s how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. An obstacle is something you either find a way around or allow it to stop you. (3) __________Go to the other side of failures. Not everything works；even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesn't work for us. So what? Failure can either become an obstacle and an excuse or it can become your teacher in what not to do.It takes effort, commitment, and follow-through. They call it a ladder (梯子) of success for a reason …because you need to climb it in order to get somewhere. It’s not an escalator. (4) __________You have to do the work yourself. Sometimes it will be easy；other times you'll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders. The ladder remains the same. Success still waits on the other side. It's going to take determination and persistence on your part to get up and over that wall.So, which side do you want to be on?In winter in Britain, many children and adults enjoy going to the theatre to watch a Christmas pantomime (圣诞童话剧）. Pantomimes are a very old form of entertainment, but the modern version is as popular as ever. Pantomimes today originate from a type of light, popular, comedy play from 16th-century Italy. Some aspects of modern pantomime date from this time. (1)________Pantomimes started to be performed in England in the 17th century, and it was here that the comedy developed into slapstick — a clownish, physical comedy characterized by people falling over or fighting in a silly way.In the 19th century, Grimaldi, a famous clown, introduced the tradition of audience participation, a very important aspect of modern pantomime. He established catch phrases, which the audience would respond to by shouting a known response.There are two very well-known catch phrases in modern British pantomime. The first is that a character will pretend not to see his enemy and ask the audience where he is.

(C)There is plenty of complaints about how social media-texting in particular ——may be harming children's social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging (IM'ing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those who are introverted(内向的).British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of the participants were "regular" or "extensive" IM'ers. In the U. S., two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distress——not enough to completely eliminate it, but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out."Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provide emotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being," the authors write, noting that prior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face, implying a strengthening of their bond.Why would digital communication do better than human contact? The reasons are complex, but may have something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and other emotions via IM without revealing emotional elements like tears that some may consider as embarrassing or sources of discomfort. Studies also show that the anonymity(匿名) of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may cause people to feel more comfortable in sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings. Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can "vent"emotions and provide a sense of relief——and doing so, knowing that your words are reaching a sympathetic friend, may provide even more comfort and potentially be therapeutic. Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extraverts did. Susan Cain, author of Quiet wrote recently for TIME: Introverts are often brimming over with thoughts and care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues. But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass from socializing or talking on the phone. This is what the Internet offers: the chance to connect ——but in measured doses and from behind a screen.63. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Teens are more likely to send instant messages when feeling distressed.B. Instant messaging can help completely remove teen’s negative emotions.C.Chat via instant messaging service makes participants feel good or calm.D. Constant instant messaging can help teens control their negative emotions.64. The underlined word “vent”in paragraph 5 most probably means _______A. controlB. maintainC. releaseD. conceal65. What does digital communication enable users to do?A. Find more sympathetic friends.B. Share and discuss more information.C. Produce more expressive writings.D. Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.66. What can be concluded from the new study by British researchers?A. Instead messaging will prevent children’s social and intellectual development.B. Introverted teens may benefit from constant instant messaging.C. Teens feeling bad often feel closer to real-life friends than to the net friends.D. American teens aged 14 to 18 are extensive instant messaging users.Section CAn 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom, “I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is.” Ho wever, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of Mckinney, Texas, haven’t caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill.___67__ Dirty clothes pile up; dirty clothes get lost in the mess, smell bad;homework is lost, and valuable things are ruined.Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children,offer rewards for cleaning or punish them when they don't._____68_____Mrs. Perkins says that they picked up all the clothes on Kayla's floorand hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom. There was screaming and shouting, “How can I live without my clothes?” M rs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.____69____For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn’t bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.___70___Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work ——with respect and high expectation.。

This is a major geological feature,it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty.I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge.It’s amazing.The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong.You know,not having worked here or heard about the area,you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way.You become part of it,it becomes part of you.I’m very passionate about it.And there’s the amazing wildlife,the geology,the prehistory—Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different.You’ve got the rock sports side of things,the climbing,the caving.We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history,which we do with the museum,whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them.We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man,which is the Mesolithic period,so 10,000years ago.We do fire lighting,for example,and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people!It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it,so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir.The view is amazing.Yes,you can see pictures of it,but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it.You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there,just to enhance the experience!56.PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to__________.A.settle down in the countrysideB.be closer to his daughternd a job as a tour guideD.take part in a competitive race57.The underlined phrase“gets under your skin”is closest in meaning to_________.A.affects you deeplyB.bothers you greatlyC.increases your strengthD.improves your skin condition58.Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions?A.He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history.B.He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks.C.He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period.D.He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge.59.What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article?A.How he adapts to the local way of life.B.What major local attractions are worth seeing.C.Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder.D.What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him.What’s the best way to keep track I’m not sure what the best way is,butShould I use single quotes or It doesn’t matter!Usually it’s a matter of60.________are most useful for controlling timelines of the story.A.Character sheetsB.Dialogue recordsC.PhotographsD.Spreadsheets61.The appropriate example in the box should be __________.A.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,“I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”’B.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”C.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’”D.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’62.Which of the following questions is most likely to be asked by Grace Louise,whois dreaming of becoming a novelist?A.When and where will your next novel be published?B.What should I write about to win the writing competition?C.Do you have any tips for overcoming the writer’s block?D.Can you give us a lecture on choosing the right topics?(C)A forest in Staffordshire (in the UK)transformed into a hi-tech laboratory.Researchers here are investigating how the trees use carbon,and it’s difficult to find out.In an unusual experiment,extra carbon dioxide is piped to the trees,to create the kind of atmospheric conditions expected in the middle of the century.And instruments measure how the forest reacts.The scientist in charge says there’s still a lot to learn.And he worries that governments and companies are rushing to plant trees as an easy answer to climate change.“If you try and use trees to tidy up the mess that we’re making through emissions,you are putting those trees into a very rapidly changing climate and they will struggle to adapt,”said Professor Rob MacKenzie,University of Birmingham.This device tracks the movement of carbon dioxide.In a healthy forest,the gas is not only absorbed by the trees but some is released as well.What scientists here are finding out is the way carbon flows into a forest and out of it is a lot more complicated than you might think.So,if mass tree planting is meant to be a solution to tackling climate change,the trees are going to have to be monitored and cared for,go.It’s for tracking not plotting,but it couldbe used for that if you plotted whathappens in each chapter.Hope this helps,Amanda.Grace Louiseover not just decades,but may be centuries as well.Of all the challenges,the task of planting is the simplest.Shelby Barber from Canada can do an amazing4,000trees in a day.“People talking about planting millions billions of trees around the world.Is it possible do you think,physically?”asked BBC.“It’s definitely possible with the right amount of people,the right group of people. I’ve personally,in three years,planted just over half a million trees.”said Professor Rob MacKenzie.Once planted,the trees need to survive,and experts are mixing different types to minimize the risk of disease.“It’s a bit like making sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket,you’re spreading out your risk.And then if one part of that woodland fails, for whatever reason,it gets a disease or it can’t tolerate future climatic conditions, there are other parts of the forest that are healthy and able to fill in those gaps.”said Eleanor Tew of Forestry England.Suddenly there’s momentum to plant trees on a scale never seen before.So what matters is doing it in a way that ensures the forests thrive—so they really do help with climate change.63.Why is extra carbon dioxide piped to the trees in the experiment?A.To predict the future atmospheric conditions.B.To imitate the possible air condition in the future.C.To create an instrument to measure atmospheric conditions.D.To investigate the quality of air condition in the future.64.The underlined word“some”in the second paragraph refers to__________.A.oxygenB.carbon dioxideC.messD.purified gas65.What will Eleanor Tew suggest concerning the survival of the forest?A.Minimizing the area of the woodland.B.Studying future climatic conditions.C.Planting different types of trees.D.Avoiding mixing different species.66.Which statement concerning mass tree planting will Professor Rob Mackenziemostly likely agree with?A.It should be advocated in terms of efficiency and convenience.B.It is the most effective solution to fighting climate changes.C.It will do more harm than good to the health of the environment.D.It needs to be studied further as a measure against climate change.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.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.It has also designed a special program that lets people return used furniture pieces to its stores so they can be fixed and used again by consumers.B.This would help to reduce overall waste,as it would extend the life cycle of old furniture items.C.Although these items may cost less initially,they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture.D.This creates a lot of pollution,as the furniture ends up buried in landfills where it can harm the soil.E.Homeowners are looking for furniture that is kinder to the environment.F.By choosing furniture that’s made to last,we can help reduce waste and protect the environment.The Fight against Fast FurnitureFast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly.These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often.(67) ____________________To help protect the environment,a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun.Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture.For example,IKEA has agreed to switch to using renewable or recycled materials for their furniture by the year2030.(68)____________________ There is also a push to encourage shoppers to buy more used furniture for their homes.Small businesses that help transform old chairs and sofas into completely new products have even popped up recently.At the end of the day,consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture.Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture.They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they will often fall apart after a few years.(69)____________________A much better alternative is furniture made from real wood because it won’t break as easily.If wood furniture is damaged,it can often be repaired to last longer. High-quality metals are another good material,as they are durable.If the furniture isno longer fit for use,these metals can still be recycled and used to make new products.(70)____________________So,the next time you buy furniture,think about whether it’s something that will last a long time or it’s just fast furniture that will break soon and go into the trash.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Digital Nomads(游牧人)How would you like to answer your work emails from a beachfront caféin Thailand or a coffee shop in Portugal?If that appeals to you,being a digital nomad might be for you.Digital nomads can literally work from anywhere as their jobs are online.Digital nomads rely on portable devices with wireless Internet capabilities such as laptops,tablets and smartphones.Typically,they work from coffee shops, restaurants,co-working spaces,apartments or internet cafés—places with an Internet connection.Worldwide,statistics show the number of digital nomads hit35million in2021. So what is it that makes the lifestyle of digital nomads so fascinating?First and foremost,digital nomads get to live in different countries and cultures while they work,providing them with opportunities to have adventures and experience new things.These folks have also found the most flexible means of online incomes, allowing them to head out at a moment’notice and go where they please.“I’m free,”says Nimisha Walji,“I can go where the wind takes me and live any place I choose!If I feel like a change,I can pursue that in a matter of days,sometimes hours.”You may think that being a digital nomad is all sunshine and rainbows.It is not necessarily so.Job finding is one of the hardest tasks for the digital nomad,given that they have no permanent home,no office address,and no one knows them.To apply for a job,they need to find the employer and persuade him to hire them.Most of the employers hire from their own city,and that’s why it’s so hard for a nomad to find a job.Access to stable Wi-Fi and adequate workspace can be difficult.If someone struggles to stay focused at home,there can’t be a worse place than a fascinating holiday location.Few people can manage to be productive faced with the temptations and distractions.It seems that living the life of a digital nomad isn’t for everyone.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.冷静，别让焦虑影响你的表现。

2016年上海虹口区高考英语二模(A)“Time,” says the proverb, “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.If our time (25) __________ (employ) usefully, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, (26) ___________ think nothing of wasting time, remember this.Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked (27) _________ we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life.But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day, (28) _________ (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. So a day or an hour (29) __________ (waste) is therefore so much life lost.But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30) __________ (near) relatives; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea.Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal (处置) for active work. (31) __________ remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.The precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, (32) _________ (supply) us with incalculable advantages.

Don’t they havethe right to have a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, toothbrushes and family photos to make them feel like home (35) ______ ______ ______ they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others (36) __________ simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.

Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; (38) __________ may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. (39) __________ (make) friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings.Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make (40) _________ place where we stay “home”.。

Here are some of the best places to visit inHubeiProvince.YellowCraneTowerYellowCraneToweris known as one of the Three Famous Towers South of Yangtze River, together withYueyangTowerinHunanand Tengwang Pavilion inJiangxi.

Regarded as the “Lungs of Central China", the forest coverage reaches over 90 percent of the area. Due to the special climate, it is neither too hot in summer nor too cold in winter.

TheThree-Gorge Tribe scenic spot.BTwo years ago, I decided to study at theUniversityofSt. Edwardsin the city ofAustin,Texas. When I was on my research to find the perfect place to study in, I considered many aspects: a safe place, a city where there were companies devoted to marketing or technology, a place where speaking Spanish and English was an advantage and a school where I could learn about digital strategies (数字策略). After comparing and evaluating many cities and universities. I finally decided onAustin.Since I arrived inAustin,Texas. I had been living inside the university where I had a private room and shared common areas with more students. University life was not very different from the life inMexicoand classes weresemblableand the way of socializing too. However, in theUnited States, the classes were more practical and teachers encouraged you to be self-responsible and complete your tasks.The classes that I was taking were related to social media, digital marketing and advertising. I was very excited to be able to study technology-related courses.What I liked most about the experience was being able to live with students from many places, which allowed me to learn from other cultures and to share mine with other students. Also, international student services usually organized events and tours that helped me to get to know the city and the school.I certainly think that studying abroad is a beneficial experience. It makes us capable of understanding cultural differences and accepting diversity. Personally, I would suggest that you first determine what your goals are by going abroad, research the opportunities and lifestyle, evaluate your universities,and finally decide on the one where you feel more comfortable, connecting with your values and way of seeing life.4. Which of the following can best describe the author according to paragraph 1？A. Casual.B. Cautious.C. Changeable.D.

What are the students who intend to study abroad advised to do?A. Be careful to choose the university to study in.B. Set no limits on theiracademic performances.C. Study where they're familiar with everything.D. Adjust personal lifestyles for the university.CIt is universally acknowledged that renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower are all much better for the climate than fossil fuels.It is true for wind and solar. However, the picture for hydropower is more complicated than we think.A new study by the Environmental Defense Fund analyzed the climate impacts of 1,500 hydropower facilities across the globe. That accounts for about half of hydropower generation worldwide. The researchers looked at whether the facilities behave as a greenhouse gas sink or as a source. To figure this out, they looked into all the different components that help determine a hydropower facility's greenhouse gasemissions (排放).“There are so many contributors to greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower — but essentially, the majority of greenhouse gas emissions arise from the reservoir (水库) itself, as vegetation and soils are submerged underwater in the dam thatis used for the hydropower generation.” said lissa Ocko, a senior climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the study. As the submerged vegetation breaks down, it releases greenhouse gases such as CO2.“The larger the surface area of the reservoir, the more greenhouse gases are going to be given out from that reservoir. Also, the temperature plays a role as well how warm the reservoir is will affect how much greenhousegases are produced and given out from the reservoir.” added Ocko.Through their analysis, Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg, also with the Environmental Defense Fund, discovered that the climate impacts of hydropower cover a complete range. The good news is that some facilities perform just as well as wind and solar. But shockingly, more than 100 facilities are actually worse for the climate than fossil fuels. The study is in the journalEnvironmentalScience and Technology.This finding doesn't mean we should forget about hydropower. “But we just need to be careful to make sure that we have climate benefits. There are a lot of situations where hydropower can be equal to wind and solar. So it really depends on the specific facility." said Ocko.8. How do scientists prove hydropower facilities' effect on the climate?A. By making comparisons.B. By conducting experiments.C. By referring to previous studies.D. By analyzing causes and effects.9. What are the main sources of greenhouse gases from hydropower?A. Vegetation and soils.B. Heat and sunlight.C. Pollutants in the reservoir.D. Components of the generators.10. What have Ocko and her co-author Steven Hamburg found?A The surface area of a reservoir decides the climate.B. Hydropower often influences the climate in all aspects.C. Some facilities perform much better than wind and solar.D. Fossil fuels are worse for the climate than over 100 facilities.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge an end to hydropower.B. Hydropower is not necessarily green.C. Hydropower is worse than fossil fuels.D. Renewable energy is a complicated issue.DIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard todescribe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.12. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring13. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.14. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.15. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewarding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。
