Note that there is one word more than you need.A.invaluableB.roughlyC.satisfyingD.distractionE.simplyF.advantageG.reasonable H.performed I.schedule J.planned K.excellencePeople tend to think that productivity involves doing several things at once,but according to Cal Newport, the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.Newport is the author of Deep Work,a book that describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with31.Newport defines deep work as"the ability to focus without32on a cognitively(认知地)demanding task."It's the opposite of shallow work,which is made up of simple tasks that are usually33while distracted.According to Newport,deep work is a(n)34skill in today's economy.It allows you to learn difficult things quickly and produce at a high level.Most people are distracted when they work,so you learn to work without distraction,that gives you35.Deep work enables you to produce to the best of your ability andacquire new skills quickly.Developing excellence in one's craft can be a deeply36try.But deep work itself is also a skill,which means the more time you spend at it,the easier it gets.Moreover,if you only work at a shallow level,your ability to do deep work decreases.So how do you conduct deep work into your work life or your studies?It's essentially important to37 deep work into your day.Otherwise,it's easy to let your time fill up with shallow work.Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day.That way you get it done before distractions build up.Shallow work does need to get done,but if you save it for later in the day,you can get your deep work done,too.Scheduling deep work sessions for the same time every day can turn them into a habit.This makes it easier to spend time on them.Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding,you won't be able to do it all day.Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for38an hour,and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. So set39goals for yourself.If you really focus,you'll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.By focusing on40sessions of deep work,you can get more done in less time and feel more satisfied. III.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.Ideally,childhood is a time of growth and learning,preparing for adulthood and also having fun.But for many children around the world,this time is cut short when they are forced to work,sometimes in dangerous conditions.41,the United Nations(U.N.),some national governments and other organizations42June 12as the annual World Day Against Child Labor.As of2020,around160million children worked as child laborers,which means that one child in10was a child laborer.43,child labor has decreased over the past20years,but in recent years,this progress has stopped.Child labor is44from ordinary housework,helping with a family business or(for older children) working to earn pocket money when not in school.Work done by children is45as child labor when it harms the child physically,mentally,socially or46,or when it prevents the child's education.About79million children are engaged in hazardous child labor.Sometimes this means the work itself is dangerous because of heavy machinery or exposure to47.Hazardous child labor can also involve harsh conditions,long hours,or48to various kinds of abuse.The primary goal of the World Day Against Child Labor is raising49of the issue and encouraging individuals,organizations and governments bating(打击)child labor is a complex task.It involves social workers who identify child laborers and take action to provide these children and their families with other51.But it also involves change in communities as a whole,52the social regulations that can lead adults to make their children work.Child labor and poverty often go hand in hand as parents feel removing their children from school is necessary to earn money for their survival.So,measures meant to fight53are also tied to preventing child labor.Ensuring that children have quality educational opportunities is also important.If more opportunities were 54,more parents might give up the immediate benefit of a child's paycheck to give that child an education.Child labor is harmful to children and to communities,since it prevents children from growing into healthy, educated citizens who could make a(n)55in society.By highlighting the problem and offering a variety of solutions,the World Day Against Child Labor can make the situation a bit better.41.A.In addition B.As a result C.Above all D.After all42.A.recognize B.discover C.choose D.consider43.A.Nevertheless B.Therefore C.Overall D.Moreover44.A.distinguished B.transferred C.ranged D.evolved45.A.evaluated B.classified bined D.separated46.A.sincerely B.negatively C.positively D.morally47.A.chemicals B.lights C.wastes D.gases48.A.harm B.pollution C.exposure D.danger49.A.value B.awareness C.status D.significance50.A.take place B.take care C.take over D.take action51.A.options B.questions C.elements D.examples52.A.promoting B.urging C.challenging D.adjusting53.A.disease B.disaster C.survival D.poverty54.A.available B.sustainable C.accessible D.advisable55.A.choice B.difference C.effort D.decisionSection BDirections:Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions.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)During the Second World War,Dr.William Walsh served on a U.S.Navy ship in the South Pacific.While serving there,Walsh observed the poor health conditions in which the people of the South Pacific lived.After the war ended in1945,Walsh founded an organization called Project Hope.Its goal was to bring health education and care to people in poor countries around the world.In1958,Walsh convinced U.S.President Eisenhower to allow Project Hope to rent a U.S.Navy hospital ship for just one dollar a year.Many companies and ordinary people donated money to Project Hope.The organization used the funds to turn the navy ship into a civilian hospital ship called the SS Hope.During the next14years,the SS Hope traveled to every region of the world.Wherever it went,it provided health care for needy people and helped poor countries establish their own health care systems.In1974,the SS Hope was retired from service,and Project Hope began to provide health care on land instead.The story of the SS Hope inspired Don and Deyon Stephens to buy a passenger ship in1978and transform it into another hospital ship.Since then,their organization,called Mercy Ships,has sent ships equipped with medical supplies and hospital beds around the world.Doctors volunteer to travel on these vessels or ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them.They can correct people's vision,straighten bent limbs,remove facial tumors(肿块)and more.Mercy Ships also provides medical equipment for local health clinics and builds medical facilities. In addition,it teaches local people how to farm their land more effectively and more sustainably.56.What happened to the SS Hope in1974?A.It sank unexpectedly.B.It was fully repaired.C.It launched new services.D.It ceased operations.57.Who gave Walsh permission to use a ship for one dollar?A.An entertainer in America.B.Two American accountants.C.An America's top politician.D.Smart American investors.58.What does the article indicate about surgeries on Mercy Ships'vessels?A.They put physicians and nurses at risk.B.They're done at no charge to patients.C.They mainly benefit wealthy individuals.D.They've resulted in serious infections.59.According to this article,what do local people learn to do with the aid of Mercy Ships?A.Make a good living from tourism.B.Grow crops with greater success.C.Manufacture popular electronics.D.Establish education institutions.(B)From:Bridget Pecolini<*************************>To:Anson Wong<*********************>Re:Questions about online math contestDate:June18,2023Dear Mr.Wong,Thank you for your email.We're so glad your children are signed up to participate in our math contest.I hope it will be a rewarding and enriching experience for them.You can access the training session and practice tests by logging into our website at .Once you're signed in,you will see several tabs on the left-hand side.One of them will say"Enrolled."If you click on the drop-down menu there,you'll find the names of the children you registered.If you click on each name,you'll be given the option of joining a training session or doing practice tests.I hope that answers your question!Please let me know if you need any further help.Sincerely,Bridget Pecolini60.What can Gary do at the beginning of August?A.He can take a class to learn how to succeed.B.He can do the contests from two years ago.C.He can contact the contest organizers.D.He can try the most recent practice contest.61.Why did Bridget contact Anson?A.She was checking in on him.B.She was responding to his email.C.She was looking for information.D.She was asking him to pay.62.When does the official contest take place?A.It takes place on June18.B.It takes place on August7.C.It takes place on August12.D.It takes place on August14.(C)You constantly find yourself apologizing to a friend when you've done nothing wrong.You feel you must obey someone's demands,or they will be upset with you or even harm you or themselves.An unclear or specific threat is made that causes you to fear that someone will reveal a secret or weakness,so you do what that person wants.Or perhaps a relative is trying to make you feel obliged to do something by saying,"That's what friends or family do for each other."They arouse feelings of guilt in you for not meeting their needs.If you have had experience with any of these cases,then you are the victim of emotional blackmail(勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions.Fear,obligation and guilt-FOG-are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.Anyone-a friend,colleague,parent,partner or other family members-could be that person.Their demands are intended to control their victim's behavior in unhealthy methods.Intentional or unintentional,if your needs are always brushed aside in favor of the other person's,things need to change.Dr.Susan Forward identifies six stages in emotional blackmail.Implied or obvious demands come first."I don't think you should do things with that person.They're not good for you."After this kind of statement,the ball is in the victim's court,so stage two is resistance.The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no.Stage three is persistent pressure by the blackmailer:"If we were really friends,you'd do it." Stage four involves threats:"If you don't do this...then I will..."The victim doesn't want the blackmailer to make good on their threats,so obedience,which is stage five,often leaves the victim feeling guilty or resentful.In stage six the blackmailer backs off until the next demand.What can you do?First,recognize if you are being pressured,threatened or controlled.Stay calm,and stop so you can consider other possibilities.Identify your triggers;don't be pressured into an immediate response.Offer a compromise(妥协).Tell the blackmailer how you feel,and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change.If they won't,walk away from the relationship.Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.63.According to the passage,emotional blackmail means______.A.a kind of emotion that can be mailed to others onlineB.a kind of action to influence others by means of emotionC.a colour that can greatly influence others'emotionD.a situation where emotion can be stored and given out freely64.What is the purpose of using Dr.Susan Forward's six stages in emotional blackmail?A.To illustrate the process of emotional blackmail.B.To explain the origin of emotional blackmail.C.To prove the existence of emotional blackmail.D.To demonstrate the theory of emotional blackmail.65.The word resentful in the last paragraph but one most probably means______.A.amazedB.frightenedC.indifferentD.angry66.We can conclude from the passage that______.A.wherever you are,it is impossible to avoid emotional blackmail in lifeB.whenever you're emotionally blackmailed,just let it be with no responseC.it's an advisable way to give a proper response when emotionally blackmailedD.it's a correct response to sincerely negotiate with emotional blackmailer thenSection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.But this technology can be dangerous as well.B.You just need to have some experience with technology as well as a proper computer.C.Therefore,AI technology will be used more and more wildly in the future.D.AI text-to-image generators will become as common and easy to use as Google image search.E.Rather,it will categorize every possible detail.F.Meanwhile,the generator can help people to recognize various information accurately.Have you ever wondered what you would look like as a cartoon character or a marvel superhero?With the power of artificial intelligence(AI)text-to-image generators,you can create images just like that-without any art skills.67How does it work?AI text-to-image generators are trained through a process called machine learning.In this process,the generator's"brain"is fed massive numbers of images and learns to distinguish what they are.But the generator doesn't just learn to tell the difference between a banana and a balloon.68These pixel-level details are then stored in a mathematical space.When someone gives the generator a text passage such as"Doraemon riding a white horse,"the program uses algorithms(算法)to"think." Moments later,the program will create an entirely unique image that you requested.Some artists worry that they are being replaced by this technology.But other artists like to cooperate with the generator,using its power for ideas and inspiration.This powerful tool is now available to anyone through generators like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.You can use them to create all kinds of imaginative images.69The dark sideGenerators like Stable Diffusion are trained using images that are gathered from all over the internet.But the training process doesn't exclude(排除)images that are violent or inappropriate,so the generators"learn"those as well.The DALL-E program comes with built-in filters that prevent it from generating perverse(变态的)images. But Stable Diffusion is an open-source technology,meaning that people can modify its code and remove the content filters.Despite this,Stable Diffusion's founder Emad Mostaque remains optimistic about how people will use his generator.He says,"The bad stuff that people create...will be a very,very small percentage of the total use."For better or for worse，70But don't generate anything you'd be ashamed to show your mother！IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: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.Do you have a favorite podcast?That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options.That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them.If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share,start a podcast.A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject.The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic.It's believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love.Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment.While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive,it doesn't have to be.For your first podcast,you can simply rely on your phone and computer.You can record all of your audio on your phone.Then with your computer-and the right software-you can mix the audio.This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file.After you have your topic and equipment,you'll want to choose your format.Your podcast could be one person speaking,two people talking,or many people offering their opinions.Your podcast could also include more than one of these options.Once you've decided,you can start drafting your episodes.However,whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode.The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording.When you've completed your recording and audio mixing,you'll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast.Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show.Be sure to post about your show on social media.Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory,too.You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience.Your podcast just might become someone's new favorite.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the word given in the brackets.72.坦白说，你昨天在会上表达的观点还是有争议的。

These areas are called"food deserts."They have fewer supermarkets,and the only food options that they(24)_________afford are often unhealthy ones.Healthy foods(25)_________ _________fresh fruits and vegetables may be impossible to find.Sadly,12.8%of the American population live in the food deserts.What can we do to help(26)_________who don't have enough food?Shirley and Annie Zhu came up with a solution.In2017,when Hurricane Harvey destroyed over100,000homes in their city,Houston,the sisters got involved.(27)_________helping to clear water from a flooded supermarket,they saw a huge amount of food being wasted.At the same time,thousands of people in the city didn't have enough(28)_________(eat).The girls set up Fresh Hub with10of their classmates,(29)_________(hope)to do something to help.They created an app which could be used by residents to find out(30) _________fresh food was available.Then they contacted local farmers and supermarkets to ask for their extra food.To date,Fresh Hub has delivered more than15,000pounds of food to people in need.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.normallyB.boostC.sustainD.gainsE.assessingF.substantiallyG.efforts H.mixed I.surprising J.anticipate K.assignedYour Social-Media Detoxes（脱瘾治疗）Probably Aren't Helping You We've all heard the supposed benefits of unplugging from digital devices,even for24hours.

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)Homing pigeons combine precise internal compasses and memorized landmarks to re-trace a path back to their lofts--even four years after the previous time they made the trip,a new study shows.Testing nonhuman memory retention（保持）is challenging;in research studies,"it's rare that there is a gap of several years between when an animal stores the information and when it is next required to retrieve it,"says University of Oxford zoologist Dora Biro.For a recent study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B,Biro and her colleagues compared domestic homing pigeons' paths three or four years after the birds established routes back to their loft from a farm8.6 kilometers away.The study built on data from a2016experiment in which pigeons learned routesin different social contexts during several flights--on their own or with peers that did or did not know the way.Using data from GPS devices temporarily attached to the birds'backs,the researchers compared the flight paths a pack of pigeons took in2019or2020,without the birds visiting the release site in between.Some birds missed a handful of landmarks along the way,but many others took"strikingly similar"routes to those they used in2016,says Oxford zoologist and studyco-author Julien Collect:"It was...as if the last time they flew there was just the day before,not four years ago."The team found that the pigeons remembered a route just as well if they first flew it alone or with others and fared much better than those that had not made the journey in2016.The result is not surprising,says Verner Bing-man,who studies animal navigation at Bowling Green State University and was not involved with the study.But it provides new confirmation of homing pigeons'remarkable memory,he says:"It closes the distance a little bit between our self-centered sense of human intellectual abilities and what animals can do."56.The underlined word"retrieve"is closest in meaning to_________.A.reserveB.returnC.recoverD.record57.Which of the following conclusions may be found in the recent study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B?A.Pigeons remember specific routes home after years away.B.Pigeons remember routes better when flying with others.C.Pigeons can find their way back though taking different routes.D.Pigeons can retrace the path home through an attached GPS device.58.Which of the following is TRUE about the2016experiment?A.Oxford zoologist Julien Coolet designed the experiment procedure.B.GPS devices were attached permanently to collect data about flight routes.C.The experiment was designed to eliminate pigeons that missed key landmarks.D.Pigeons were made to fly from the release site to their lofts several times.59.What can be inferred from the best paragraph?A.Humans need to adopt a more rigid approach to pigeons'memory.B.Humans are blinded by superiority when it comes to animal intelligence.C.Riddles about animals are too complex to be solved in the foreseeable future.D.There have been mixed responses to the findings about pigeons'memory.(B)A-Z OF COACHINGWelcome to Barefoot Coaching's A-Z series.We aim to simplify what might otherwise be complex psychological theories and

When Eleanor joined the department,researchers were racing to collect and catalog specimens（标本）.As Wilson shifted research towards smaller,less glamorous species that nonetheless held ecological significance,he set the stage for conservation biology.Behind the scenes,technicianslike my grandmother preserved the specimen that furthered Wilson's work and continue to provide new insights and opportunities for researchers across the globe.[3]At the time,hiring a21-year-old woman who had dropped out of art school was a significant gamble.It paid off.Eleanor's job as a technician required the same manual flexibility and coordination that art school had demanded.The job required her to work quickly,yet precisely.Rushing could risk ruining a rare specimen,but Eleanor could process ants as quickly as Wilson could mail them back from his expeditions to Australia and Papua New Guinea.She sometimes mounted as many as200a day.[4]It wasn't a coincidence that Eleanor found work in entomology.Wilson's high-profile research on ants cracked an opening for women in previously male-dominated field of conservation,which was centered around studying big game in the first half of the20th century.[5]Even when women's early work has been credited,the language used to describe their contributions often minimized their role in the team,not mentioning them by name.A recently discovered department report includes lines such as,"A large amount of spreading and setting insects was done by the lady assistant,"and"The collection has been remarkably free from pests...due to the continuous care of the lady assistant."[6]The department now functions like a library(specimen can be borrowed for study or examined on site),and serves as a training center for the next generation of scientists who use the collection in ways Wilson and my grandmother probably never imagined.[7]Eleanor didn't realize the impact of her contribution at the time-the technician role was just a job that paid$38a week.But she's come to appreciate the significance of her work on a project that spans centuries."You can see how it goes from one era to another,"says Eleanor,"It's so important to have this library for people to make connections and new discoveries."63.The first two paragraphs write about_________.A.why Eleanor was chosen to be an assistant for WilsonB.what convinced Wilson switch to the study of antsC.how Eleanor's and Wilson's career paths crossedD.when technicians like Eleanor started to get hired64.Why were the lines in the report cited in the fifth paragraph?A.To prove how important women's early work was.B.To show women's role at the time was not fully recognized.C.To give a vivid description of the nature of women's work.D.To teach the wisdom of writing good science reports.65.What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A.Today's researchers are still enjoying the benefits of Eleanor's work.B.Eleanor is now working as a supervisor in the department.C.New scientific discoveries are the results of collective wisdom.D.Nobody's work is as important as Eleanor's in the department.66.Which of the following should be filled in the title"In memory of Eleanor-as woman_________".A.whose struggle mirrored the social changes in the status of womenB.whose work won her fame in the then male-dominated field of conservationC.who pioneered a unique ant management system at the Harvard MuseumD.who worked behind the scenes with extraordinary speed,accuracy and artistrySection 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.There'll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness,or you're anxious about what's next.B.The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age.C.Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia.D.You'll get faster at finding it,and add extra layers of detail each time.E.The answer lies in connecting with your past and future selves.F.But there's also a growing body of research into time travel"the other way".How to Travel in TimeThe term"NNOSTALGIA"（怀旧）used to describe a mental disease.The"algia"bit means "pain",and the word was coined by a17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers,whose symptoms included hallucinations（幻觉）and depression.(67)_________And it's a great example of the benefits of a strong memory--choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.As evidence,a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed of Spotify during lockdown.It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times.(68)_________Because memory skills can take you into the future,too--bringing a whole new set of rewards.In another pandemic experiment,people wrote letters to their future selves,and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19.Here are my tips for becoming a confident time traveller yourself:*To reawaken happy feelings,use all your senses--not just sight.Smell,taste,touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity.If you find a memory that's particularly helpful--for reassurance,say--keep using it!(69)__________________*When you're procrastinating（拖延）,visualise an end result.Flash forward to see the floor swept or the easy finished,and use that positive image to spur you into action.*Ahead of major challenges,imagine the full impact of success.Don't just picture yourself getting that great job:fill your mind with the really big ways it's going to change your life.(70)__________________But the more you learn to control your memory,the better you'll be at mining your past,and shaping your future,to be your best self now.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following three passages.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Ignoring Your Biggest RegretsRegrets,people often feel,are to be avoided.Mistakes may be unavoidable,but they should be kept to a minimum.And when they do occur,the best course of action is to ignore them as inevitable steps on our journey.That seems logical,at least until you consider that one of the criteria for mental illness is an inability to feel regret.As author Kathryn Schulz argues,"If you want to be fully functional,and fully human,and fully humane,I think you need to learn to live not without regret,but with it."Counter-intuitively,she and other experts argue feeling regret is essential for living your best life.No one is saying,of course,that getting trapped in your past mistakes is a good idea.But neither is a"no regrets and never look back"mentality.Regret forces us to engage in a reflective analysis to understand why we thought or acted theway we did and makes us try things differently in the future.If you keep telling yourself"no regrets,"then learning isn't going to happen.Besides,hiding from regret doesn't make it hurt less. Action,recent research shows,is the best way to make regret hurt less.So if you're troubled by your failure to travel when you were young,science suggests you consciously plan an adventurous trip now that you're older and wiser.Upset about a broken friendship?Act to try to repair it.Acknowledging our mistakes,rather than ignoring them,reminds us that we are valuable and worthy despite our faults.That sort of acceptance is the basis both of real self-confidence and of true kindness.As Schulz sums up in her talk:"Regret doesn't remind us that we did badly.It reminds us we know we can do better."V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.两个小朋友分别得到一盒蜡笔和一本书作为奖励。

Benefits of Green SpacesWe all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows yourmind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonlyshown the benefits of being around green spaces, including gardens, urban parks andforests.But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively impact your mental health as an adult? A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe.The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire (问卷) on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood — for example, playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places. Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities, to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period. The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure — as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces. The study’s assistant, Wilma Smith, wrote that the results “show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”. She also stressed the importance of “recognizing the i mplications of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces. So we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So remember to make time to expose yourself to nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.2024届上海市徐汇区高三上学期一模英语试卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.There are many reasons why some cats are bad-tempered; their temperament can be influenced by their upbringing or they are simply born that way. However, even the sweetest, most affectionate cats can suddenlybecome bad-tempered and behave out of character. According to veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren, the problem can generally be solved, but you’ll need to look for underlying issues.Changes in a cat’s behaviour can often be explained by a health problem. Pain can cause cats to behave very differently, and it’s easy to mistake a problem as behavioural, when in fact i t is medical. Should you observe a significant change in your cat’s behaviour, then a visit to the vet is the best place to start? Watch out for changes in eating, drinking or litter-box habits. Also hiding and avoiding being touched. Be sure to report all changes to your vet. There are many cat health problems that can be readily treated to ease symptoms and pain for your cat.It pays to remember that cats don’t like to share or queue. Sharing of ‘resources’ such as litter trays and foodbowls can cause str ess and anxiety for many cats. It’s always a good idea to provide each cat with their own litter box, food, water bowls and bed as a minimum. One litter box for each cat plus a spare is even better, as are multiple sleeping spots and extra scratching posts. A lack of space to hide from or avoid other cats, competition for territory and lack of individual attention can also add to household friction. If your cat is feeling anxious, offering it an elevated place to sit, such as a climbing tree, can be helpful.Moving to a new house, the arrival of a new baby, new pets and other types of change can seriously impact cat behaviour. Cats are creatures of habit and tend to be territorial, so a change in routine may cause them to react in a number of ways, including withdrawal or aggression. Try to keep your cat’s environment as calm as possible and make sure there are places where they feel safe. Sometimes confining them to a single room with a litter box, bedding and home comforts can help them to settle.Some cats simply do not like being touched and handled. These are often cats that received limited socialisation with humans when they were kittens. These cats do best in a quiet household without children and need understanding and patience to help build their confidence.2024届上海市松江区高三上学期一模英语试卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: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.71. Why Should We Read Literary Classics?Many have grown up on a healthy diet of literary classics. Some literary classics have been inspiring readers in many ways. In this age of fast-turners, how does investing our time in a timeless literary classic change us for the better?Many literary classics from yesteryear, which got little or no success when published, are considered invaluable. These books offer a window through which we can experience histories rooted in different cultures. One can always ask,“But we can do so by reading our history books too. Why do we need to read classics?"The simple answer is that these literary classics are not just a retelling of history. They allow us to have a more individualized experience, where they show us other ways to look at history.It is common knowledge that reading as a habit helps us improve our command of the language. But literary classics have an edge:the enriching writing style is something that sets them apart. Fascinated with the amazing wording and phrasing, we'll surely pause and wonder about what we read. For instance, when we read Shakespeare, we naturally begin to consider how to better express our ideas just like his far-reaching "Have more than you show；speak less than you know."One more benefit is that after reading classics, we won't see non-classics as just other stories: we'll become interested in them. Maybe we'll realize that some details we ignored last time are actually worth appreciating, or we'll discover literary devices that bring a whole new meaning to the story. Literary classics offer us more perspectives to dig deep and enhance our ability to think and reason, which will inevitably spill over into our reading of other works. We finally fall in love with non-classics as well.2024届上海市长宁区英语高三上学期一模试卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.71. The problem of robocalls has become so bad that we refuse to pick up calls from numbers we don’t know. Nearly half of the calls we receive are scams(欺诈). We’ve realized the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are many powerful voice manipulation(处理) technologies to be available. A company showed a new voice technology able to produce a convincing human–sounding voice able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data disclosure of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to cheat the targeted people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what l ooks to be a familiar number and talk to you with a voice sounding exactly like your bank teller’s, misleading you to “confirm” your address and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. V oice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like WeChat and Alipay, which can be tied to your identity.2024届上海市黄浦区高三上学期一模英语试卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.Why companies are hiring ‘prompt engineers’?With the new generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, anyone can put in a prompt — type in a few words and get a result. But that doesn’t mean that the results will be relevant or accurate.The ke y is putting in the right prompt. That’s why some businesses are now hiring prompt engineers —people with the skills, background and practice to talk to so-called large-language AI systems effectively — and why many people expect prompt engineering to be a desirable skill for many kinds of workers to add to theirrésumés.In general, the more detailed the request, the closer the response will come to what the user is looking for. But the most effective prompt engineering goes beyond adding detail.For one thing, adding the right detail to get the best response is crucial. Also, there are many ways to guide how an AI system presents the information it finds, depending on the goal — telling it to write in a certain style or for a certain audience, for instance. Each tool also has particular capabilities and limitations that users can learn to tackle. And the best results often come from an extended conversation with the AI, reacting to what it produces and asking for refinements.Even for people applying to j obs that don’t clearly mention prompt engineering, having this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles. Art directors could use generative AI to outline ideas, and marketers could use it to develop new slogans. Software engineers could use it to find problems with their code. Lawyers could useit to research a piece of law. This is going to be a foundational skill that all of us need to know. The through line is when you learn a new skill, you can take it in any direction you like.参考答案2024届上海市金山区高三上学期一模英语试卷Summary71. Researches show exposure to nature during childhood has a positive impact on mental health in adulthood. Those using natural spaces more frequently and attaching greater importance to using them score higher in psychological tests including problem-solving abilities and negative feelings’ analysis. Therefore, availability of natural spaces should be improved by governments and being exposed to nature should be highlighted.2024届上海市徐汇区高三上学期一模英语试卷IV. Summary WritingCats’ temperament is linked to their upbringing or innate traits. Health issues may also affect behavior, requiring vet attention. Stress from sharing resources like litter trays is highlighted, suggesting individual essentials. Environmental changes, like moving or having new comers, can impact cats, urging a calm environment. Cats not liking touch might stem from limited socialization, needing patience in quiet homes.2024届上海市松江区高三上学期一模英语试卷Reading literary classics benefits us a lot. Firstly, It offers us individualized ways of experiencing history.secondly, it improves our writing ability by encouraging us to think over their expressions and learn to express our ideas in that way. Besides, we’ll love to read non-classics because reading classics enable us to think and reason deeply from diverse perspective. (57’)2024届上海市长宁区英语高三上学期一模试卷IV.

In fact, according to a new paper published in Journal of Experimental Psychology, a little anxiety – not to mention fatigue – might actually be a very good thing.The study was conducted by psychology professors Phillip Ackerman and Ruth Kanfer. They recruited 239 college freshmen, each (22) ______ (agree) to take three different versions of the SAT reasoning test (23) ______ (give) on three consecutive Saturday mornings. The tests would take three-and-a-half hours, four-and-a-half hours and five-and-a-half-hours, and would be administered (24) ______ a random order to each of the students. (25) ______ (boost) the stress level in the students – who had already taken the SAT in the past and gotten into college – Ackerman and Kanfer offered a cash bonus to any volunteers who (26) ______ (beat) their high-school score.(27) ______ the test began on each of the three Saturdays, the students filled out a questionnaire that asked them about their fatigue level, mood and confidence. They completed the questionnaire again at a break in the middle of the test and once more at the end. Together, all of these provided a sort of fever chart of the students’energy and anxiety during the experience.When the researchers scored the results, it came as no surprise that volunteers’fatigue and stress rose steadily (28) ______ the test got longer.

The app feeds on a collective ____31____ that we are missing out on something, whether it’s a fabulous party, a pop-up sale, or the mere concept of vacation. But the same concept doesn’t quite ____32____ to parents sharing pictures of their young children online. There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day _____33_____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____34____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____35_____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____36_____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The _____37_____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____38_____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.”How long will it be until someone ___39_____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____40____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.III. Reading Comprehension 45%Section A 15%Directions:For each blank in the following passages 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.(A)You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, accordingto a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science. But that shouldn’t stop you from ___41___ with pals who are down in the dumps, say the study authors: ___42___, the effect isn’t large enough to push you into depression.The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadness—as well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking, drinking, obesity, fitness habits and even the ability to concentrate—can ___43___ across social networks, both online and in real life. But while many ___44___ studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in ___45___ screenings（筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total, 2,194 students were included in the ___46___, which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.Overall, kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more ___47___ to report bad moods themselves—and they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends, ___48___, their moods were more likely to improve over time.Some symptoms related to depression—like helplessness, tiredness and loss of interest—also seemed to follow this ___49___, which scientists call “social contagion.” But this isn’t something that people need to ___50___, says lead author Robert Eyre, a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, it’s likely just a “___51___ empathetic response that we’re all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,” he says. In other words, when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that you’ll feel some of their ___52___, and it’s certainly not a reason to stay away.The study also found that having friends who were clinically depressed did not ___53___ participants’ risk of becoming depressed themselves. “Your friends do not put you at risk of illness,” says Eyre, “so a good course of action is simply to ___54___ them.” To boost both of your moods, he suggests doing things together that you both ___55___—and taking other friends along to further spread those good feelings, too.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information givenin the passage you have just read.(A)For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history hasthe car and been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk,the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience--one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become moredenser, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”--are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.56. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.57. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______A. to contrast their functions with elevators’B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for elevators58. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from otherlife experiences?A. Vertical directionB. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.59. The author urges readers to consider______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

As he looked back over his short life, the Dutchman found little to celebrate among the endeavors of his faltering career. By conventional, middle-class standards, he was a failure. After a couple of dead-end teaching jobs in England, as well as a short, forgettable spell working in a bookshop in Dordrecht, he moved to Amsterdam to become a minister of religion, following in his father’s footsteps. At the end of 1878, he set off for the depressed coalmining district of the Borinage to the west of the city of Mons in Belgium, determined to establish himself as a preacher(牧师) to the working class.There, he lived in a humble hut, gave away much of his money, and changed his smart clothes into the practical work-wear of the “Borins.” Unfortunately, he was not a gifted speaker, so his meetings were sparsely attended. His inability to connect with the local coalminers was compounded by a practical, linguistic difficulty: he couldn’t make head or tail of their quick-fire regional dialect known as “Walloon French,” while they were mystified by his own attempts at French,which to their ears sounded overly formal. In July 1879, only half a year after he had arrived in the region, he received another setback: the authorities terminated his trial religious appointment.Yet it was at this rock-bottom moment that van Gogh, now 26, started to draw. “I often feel homesick for the country of paintings,” he wrote to his brother Theo in the summer of 1880. He felt sympathy for the working-class miners. For the first time in his life, middle-class van Gogh was friends with poor, working-class people. The people were poor and illiterate, and their work was hard and dangerous. Yet for van Gogh, there was some kind of bigger truth in their simple way of life. After he became an artist, he chose to find his subject matter there. Like artists that he admired, such as Jean-Francois Millet, he wanted to portray the life of working-class people, and he remained interested in doing so certainly for the first half of his career. Really, it stayed important to him forever. In addition to this general concern for everyday reality and the rural poor, particular themes that van Gogh encountered in the Borinage would later feature prominently in his art. As he once put it in a letter: “It was in the Borinage that I began to work from nature for the first time.”Few works from van Gogh’s Borinage period survived, because the artist burned most of them. As he revealed in a letter to a friend, he felt they were too clumsy or related to an uncertain time when he was still developing his own style and artistic voice.63. What happened to Vincent van Gogh in 1878?A. He learned a lot from different jobs.B. He felt dissatisfied with his career.C. He was a member of the working class.D. He became the apprentice of his father.64. Why did van Gogh have difficulty communicating with the local miners?A. The miners didn’t appreciate his dressing style.B. Their French wasn’t agreeable in each other’s ear.C. His French pronunciation wasn’t standard.D. He had trouble in making a speech.65. What can we infer from the passage?A. Van Gogh interacted with working-class people all through his life even thoughhe was born middle-class.B. Van Gogh and Jean-Francois Millet both found inspiration from the rural peoplein the Borinage.C. Van Gogh’s paintings in the Borinage mirrored the life of working-class people.D. Van Gogh ruined many of his works in the Borinage because his artistic voicewas unheard then.66. What is the proper title of the passage?A. The Subject of van Gogh’s Works.B. The Turning Point of Van Gogh’s Life.C. The Way van Gogh Viewed His Art.D. The Working Class and Van Gogh’s success.Section C 8%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. You are only allowed to purchase a firearm if you have had a background checkand meet certain legal requirements.B. There have been many enlightening articles on gun control in America.C. If you were to visit the United States for two months, the only gun you mightsee is in a museum or on a police officer.D. Less than fifty percent of homes in the United States own weapons, and many ofthose homes are in rural areas where guns may have a greater use.E. More people are deciding to legalize their gun transactions instead of buyingthem on the black market.F. What alarms people the most about American gun culture are the illegal guns and shooting.Guns have a special place in American culture, and though not everyone agrees on whether or not they are a good thing, there is no mistaking that they will be part of the cultural landscape for some time. To answer the question, no, not everyone has a gun._____67_____. Americans use guns for one of two uses: either for sport, where they can use them on firing ranges or for hunting in approved areas, or for self-protection. The latter is where most people begin to take sides, either arguing for the removal of guns from society or allowing more people to have them. There are organizations and community groups for both sides and both sides have strong feelings.Legally, there are restrictions on gun owners._____68_____. Only certain kinds of weapons can be purchased by the public, and that excludes automatic weapon and military grade weaponry Gun owners must transport their weapon in a safe way, unloaded and in most cases, out of sight. Special—concealed carry permits from the police station must be obtained for people who want to wear weapon, and most people are rejected for this kind of permit. ______69______. Criminals steal guns or buy them illegally to commit crimes, and the news is terrible stories of what happened next. Occasionally a child will get a hold of legal weapon and accidentally hurt themselves or others.It is important to remember, however, that the news stories that make the United States seem like a dangerous place are deceiving; guns are not everywhere or constant.______70_____. After all. America is a safe place to live.IV. Summary Writing 10%Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are learning more about its causes.The first environmental cause of shyness many be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbours and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel socially inhibited, or shy, when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Henderson and Zimbardo say, “One expectation is that in Japan an individual performance success is credited externally to parents, teachers, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore Japanese learn not take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years .Due to our huge advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.17．（8分）I boarded a small plane together with my sister and第14页/共28页42other passengers．While flying over the mountains，the plane encountered violent airflow．Losing control suddenly，it hit an unknown mountain peak．The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately，leaving many injured including my sister．Adding a slight chance of being found out，we waited in the open，as opposed to waiting in the plane，even though it was freezing cold．At night，we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water．We knew our food couldnt last us long，sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon．We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft．However，the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow，making it impossible to be seen from the sky．Later，our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended．Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival．Although the crash site was an awful place，with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death，I still wished to stay there．But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued．Thus，together with two other people，Canessa and Vizintin，I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help．Carrying some food and water，the three climbers started our journey．If we had known anything about climbing，we would have realized that we were already finished．The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers．Our ignorance provided our only chance．We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top．To our horror，we found nothing．Disappointed，we were about to第15页/共28页give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain．Eventually，at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help．I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site．Finally，after we had endured nineteen cruel days，the world found out that there were 16survivors who had cheated death despite the odds．（1）Why did they stay outside the plane？A．Because they didnt want to stay with dead people inside．B．Because its easier to obtain melted snow for water．C．Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people．D．Because other passengers were against staying inside．（2）Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay？A．Because he could get help from two experienced climbers．B．Because his sister might die without timely medical help．C．Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in．D．Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes．（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？第16页/共28页A．Rescue people didnt notice the aircraft because of its color at the beginning．B．The public knew where the plane crashed from the radio．C．The author gave up the climb halfway due to disappointment．D．More than half of the plane passengers were finally rescued．（4）The underlined sentence had cheated death despite the odds is closest in meaning to．A．had told lies about death in spite of realityB．had avoided death in spite of huge difficultiesC．had treated death with positive attitudeD．had almost died in spite of strange expectation18．（6分）Rubbermaid Commercial Stainless（不锈的）Steel Oven Monitoring Thermometer（温度计）FGTHO 550by Rubbermaid Commercial

Bass Sound Stereo Headphones19．（8分）Canada is a bilingual country with co﹣official languages．English and French enjoy equal status as the official languages of all federal government institutions in Canada．This means that the public has the right to communicate with and receive services from，federal（联邦的）government institutions in either English or French．Federal government employees have the right to work in the official language of their choice in designated bilingual regions．Like the United States，Canada started as a colony．Beginning in the 1500s，it was part of New France but later became a British colony after the Seven Years War．As a result，the Canadian government recognized the languages of both colonizers：France and England．The Constitution （宪法）Act of 1867enshrined the use of both languages in Parliament and in federal courts．Years later，Canada strengthened its commitment to第20页/共28页bilingualism when it passed the Official Languages Act of 1969，which reaffirmed the constitutional origins of its co﹣official languages and set out the protections afforded by its dual﹣language status．Recognition of both English and French protects the rights of all Canadians．Among other benefits，the 1969 Act recognized that Canadian citizens should be able to access federal laws and government documents，whether their native language was French or English．The general law also requires that consumer products feature bilingual packaging throughout the country．The Canadian federal government is committed to advancing the equality of status and use of the English and French languages within Canadian society and provides support to the development of English and French linguistic minority communities．However，the reality is that most Canadians speak English，and of course，many Canadians speak another language entirely．Although the federal government theoretically guarantees bilingual services in all areas，there are many regions of Canada where English is the clear majority language，so the government does not always offer services in French in those regions．Canadians use the phrase where numbers warrant to indicate whether a local populations language usage requires bilingual services from the federal government．While many Canadians are bilingual，they are not only speaking English or French．Statistic Canada finds that more than 200 languages that were not English or French，were reported as a language spoken by its people．About two﹣thirds of the respondents who spoke one of these languages also spoke either English or French．（1）The acceptance of two official languages in Canada is due to．A．the language﹣using tradition caused by Canadas colonial history．B．the convenience for business dealings by using two languages in the country．C．the welcome attitude toward immigrates from all over the world．D．the mastery of two languages of Canadians because of school education．（2）In reality whether bilingual service provided by the federal government is necessary in different districts is decided by．A．the legal order from the federal governmentB．the popularity of the language in the worldC．the number of schools teaching the languageD．the number of local people using the language（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A．English has gained superior legal position to French because of bigger number of users in Canada．B．The legal court usage of French and English was established in Canada in 1969．C．Both French and English should be used on products in Canada according to federal law．D．Canadian people speak either French or English in social communication．（4）What is the main idea of the passage？A．The advantage of using multiple languages in CanadaB．The history and current situation of two language used in CanadaC．The disadvantaged status of the French language used in Canada．D．Canadians advancement in balancing two languages in business world．Section C Directions：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.20．（8分）A．They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness．B．The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second．C．Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method．D．Except for moral consideration，many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor of the meat．E．Its difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily．F．It beats the former method by saving chefs effort in cleaning the creature．Unit the 1980s，scientists were trained to ignore animal pain，according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness．However，today，scientists view humans as a species of animals，and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self﹣awareness．People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion．If you slap（掌击）another person in the face，you can estimate their pain level of self﹣awareness．People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion．If you slap（击掌）another person in the face，you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response，（1）Gradually，scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non﹣human animals．Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs．But huge disagreement exists．For example，scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters（龙虾）feel pain．Some researchers argue lobsters are two dissimilar to vertebrates（脊椎动物）to feel pain．Nonetheless，lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response．Lobsters guard their injuries，and learn to avoid dangerous situations．（2）In result，todaymost scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain．Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain，it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries．Currently，boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland and New Zealand．Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal，many restaurants prefer more humane methods．（3）To satisfy picky diners，more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods．Stabbing a lobster in the head isnt a good option，as it neither kills the lobster nor makes it unconscious．Currently，the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun．This device electrocutes（点击）a lobster．（4）The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain．In contrast，it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts．IV. Summary Writing21．（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．So，when you picked up a few things in a supermarket，a guy ran his cart over your toe with no apology．By the time when a fellow motorist had cut you off in traffic，with a rude hand gesture or two，wasnt it a relief to get to the office？The answer is a definite yes．It is found that most American people today think public rudeness is on the rise，and most see that as a major problem．Moreover，its getting worse．Last year，people reportedencountering an average of 6.2 instances per week of evil behavior．This year，the number had shot up to 10.6．The exception，it seems，is the Workshops．More than 90% of us see companies offices as．what is immune（免疫）to social bad manners．Workplaces are gettig more civil in many peoples eyes．The reported cases of office incivility this year declined to 0.29%﹣markedly lower than cases of running into rudeness online（39%），or while driving （also39%）．Of course，less﹣than﹣polite driving or letting loose with an online conduct code is，after all，unlikely to cost anyone his next raise or promotion．However，being on ones best behavior in any professional field is generally a common﹣sense career awareness for anyone seeking job development．But theres more to it．Trends in how companies operate seem to have the welcome effect of encouraging coworkers to play nice．CEOS，and managers at all levels，are now keen on cooperation．They are trying to build a‘Best Places to Work culture，to attract the best available talents．This emphasis on co﹣working atmosphere really requires civil interactions between people．Nonetheless，a significant number of employees believe theres more to be done．Asked what changes theyd like to see，62% hope thatcivility training will be continued，looking for bigger progress in the workplace manners．V.

一模完型填空静安The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illness may be 50 if individuals would make sound personal health choices 51 upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it 52 when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our personal decisions that may 53 our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a 54 sedentary(久坐的)life-style without any exercise. The 55 to make such personal decisions is the fundamental aspect of our society, 56 the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices 57 to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be58 by friends into believing it is a socially 59 thing to do.A multitude of 60 , both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. 61 , the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is 62 one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. Experts suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of 63 life is similar to attempting suicide. 64 personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.50.

In one study 50 500 couples, those who showed very unfriendly behaviour during a 30-minute discussion about marriage problems had lower immune functioning for 24-hour period following the experiment than people who showed less 51 behaviour. It is not just stress that can do damage. One researcher thought that 52 the same cold virus was put under two differentnoses, the person who is depressed or 53 would be more likely to develop the cold. How can stress and related emotions contribute to poor health?These feelings can cause the 54 of substances that damage or weaken our immune cells. Negative 55 can also cause our bodies to produce fewer substances that 56 help fight off disease. If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the 57 be true? Will you have a stronger immune 58 and greater health if you are happier, less stressed? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are studies showing that by 59 certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer. And cancer patients aren’t the only ones who can 60 . Research has found that when patients with chronic pain used 61 therapies and other techniques to 62 discomfort, they reduced their visits to the doctors by 36%. Relaxation produces better health through deep rhythmic breathing, muscle 63 and a slower heart rate. When some of the pressure is taken out of the body, the entire immune system will function much better. Relaxation decreases blood pressure and heart rate. That is important because a body that is 64 under pressure will eventually exhaust.50. A. interfering B. involving C. inquiring D. inspecting51. A. negative B. confident C. acceptable D. agreeable52.

The first exam was held in 1995, and since then more and more people have 50 for it, with applications reaching a peak over the last two years.The latest online 51 , carried out by China Youth Daily and , 52 that more than 73 per cent of young people want to work as civil servants. Of the 17,330 participants, about 83 per cent said they were attracted by the job's 53 , guaranteed health care and pension(抚恤金). 54 , 55 per cent said it could bring "practical profits."Nearly 1 million people 55 to take the exam last year, yet only just over 10,000 were finally 56 . This year the stiff (severe) competition continued. The exact number of applicants is not known, with the final day for 57 today.But the influx（流入）of applicants has already broken the exam's website once. China YouthDaily 58 that the site was forced to close for maintenance due to 59 high traffic on the night of October 16. In a typical year several hundred applicants will apply for many of the jobs listed. For example, the five job vacancies 60 by the secretariat of the Central Committee of the Party have this year 61 more than 3,880 applicants.In general, the exam means 50 people competing for one post, the report said. 62 as civil servants are attractive, not only because of the stable income and good health care, but also because of the low risks 63 with the power and 64 the positions enjoy.

C宝山Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify with a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 50 of that parent. The things parents do and say—and the 51 they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child’s 52 . However, parents must at all times 53 like the type of person they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 54 affect the self-image that a child forms 55 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their parents will likely learn to see themselves in a 56 way. Children who observe chiefly 57 qualities in their parents will have difficulty seeing positive qualities in themselves. Children may 58 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 59 by peer group standards.Isolated events, even dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a 60 effect on a child’s behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established 61 and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parent’s or a parent’s early 62 . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a 63 of rejection or punishment. In the same way, all children are not influenced at all by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. As in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 64 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.50.

B奉贤(不错)In al l one’s lifetime, it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.50 it is exactly oneself that one has the least understanding of.When you are going 51 in life, you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is 52 your reach. When you are going downhill, you tend to underestimate yourself, 53 difficulties for your own inability.To get a 54 understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself—aware of both one’s 55 and shortages. You may look forward 56 to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges, but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. That’s to say 57 you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs 58 . Whether you think you are a towering tree or a leaf of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you 59 a state of nature that has its own value. If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence. As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself, you’ll be 60 to fight and overcome any difficulties.To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it’s needed. In time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change adepressive mood into a(n) 61 one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a 62 sleep. As you are aware, what a person physically has is 63 a human body that’s weak when 64 to the elements. So if you fall ill, it’s up to you to take a good care of yourself.In a word, to g et a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one’s life.

And this oversupply is 50 . Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts and other specialists. Yet, colleges and graduate schools continue every year to 51 highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the 52 for which they were trained, and they must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree and these temporary jobs are most probably becoming 53 ones in the severe labor markets.54 , there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle. As a result, their 55 are often higher than those of college graduates. The old concept that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law ofsupply and demand now is 56 the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that 57 is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life 58 with a college degree. Parents begin brainwashing their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for 59 rather than for life. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter: everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. Under this pressure, the kids have to go to college, but, unfortunately, most kids 60 in the starting line. In spite of this, every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are 61 for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college where they do not 62 . Half of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year because of their 63 academic performance. Some 64 for two or three years and then join the other students who drop out. It’s high time we stopped to rethink our education system.50. A. declining B. increasing C. dropping D. decreasing51.

A浦东(不错)Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son’s soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to 50 some personal matters, have broader physical health benefits 51 making you feel a bit less tired?According to new research published in the Cochrane Library’s Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000 people, 52 from the U.K.’s Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules —when employees can 53 their starting times, for example —were associated with improvements in a person’s overall health. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for 54 effects of more flexible work schedules.This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options, which are increasingly 55 throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. 56 , last April, the British government 57 a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger. In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to 58 in workplace flexibility —as companies 59 to reward employees with bonuses(奖金) or raises may 60 other forms of compensation(补偿), Reuters reported early last year.Previous research too, of course, has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed 61 between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly 62 the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide 63 of workers — from high-ranking executives to hourly employees —is 64 , which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.50.

Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America presents a detailed review of the 50 of reading’s role in the nation’s culture.Reading at Risk is a survey of national fashion in 51 literary reading. The data source for Reading at Risk is as reliable and 52 as any such survey can be. The key results of the survey are 53 in the “Summary”, but the report can be further explained as: literary reading in America is not only declining 54 among all groups, but the rate of decline has been speeded up, especially among the young. Reading at Risk merely shows a great 55 change that most Americans have already noticed—our society’s great turn to electronic media for entertainment and information.Reading a book 56 a degree of active attention and devotion. Indeed, reading itself is a progressive skill that 57 years of education and practice. 58 , reading is like riding a bicycle, driving a car, or sewing. In order to get better at it, you must do it. The last twenty-five years of reading research 59 this simple law. 60 , most electronic media such as television, recordings, and radio make fewer demands on their audiences, and indeed require no more than 61 participation. While oral culture has a rich reality and electronic media offer the considerable attention of variety, print culture affords irreplaceable forms of focused thought that makes various communications and views possible. The decline in reading, therefore, 62 a larger reduce from participation in public and cultural life.What is to be done? There is surely no single solution to the present problem, just as there is no single 63 . The important thing now is to understand that America can no longer take active and devoted reading for granted.Reading is a timeless, common ability.

He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began t o paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed, only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad – who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture – loved every single child in that hospital.65.
