This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your w ork you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak, For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.86. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening87. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier88. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day89. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.(C)In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions （暂被停学）．A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out. So I applaud the U．S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the teenager justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle(摇篮) to college, career and success pipeline,we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.These resources, officially known as "guidance," will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does doubt some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including "zero tolerance" discipline policies which require compulsory consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.90. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’ education.B. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.91. The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may________.A. punish Black children for dropping out of school.B. prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence.C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year.D. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses.92. According to the passage, the "zero tolerance" discipline policies________.A. prevent Black children from being absent from school.B. are prohibited by the guidance.C. have questionable consequences.D. were considered discriminatory when they were released.93. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Criticism of the Education SystemB. Steps Forward on School DisciplineC. Suggestions on the Civil Rights ActD. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement(D)One hundred years ago, "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro." By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by "Black." And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to embrace. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans," that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.A century’s worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise. A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of "African American."But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans," researchers, until now, hadn’t identified what that gap in perception was derived from. A recent study, conducted by Emory University’s Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As a result, "Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.The study’s most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeatingthe professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters’ biases. A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members’ control.In one of the study’s experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as "African-American," and another was told he was "Black." With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr. William’s salary, professional standing, and educational background.The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37 000 a year and had a two-year college degree. The "Black" group, on the other hand, put his salary at about $ 29 000, and guessed that he had only "some" college experience. Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr. Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.Hall’s findings suggest there’s an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can’t help but get the sense that it’s a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois’s original, idealistic hope: “It’s not the name-it’s the Thing that counts.”94. Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term "African American" for people of African descent?A. It is free from racial biases.B. It represents social progress.C. It is in the interest of common Americans.D. It follows the standard naming practice.95. What does the author say about the naming of an ethnic group?A. It advances with the times.B. It is based on racial roots.C. It merits intensive study.D. It is politically sensitive.96. What do Erika Hall’s findings indicate?A. Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.B. Many applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.C. Job seekers should all be careful about their affiliations.D. Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.97. What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?A. African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.B. Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.C. People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.D. One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.98. What is Dr. Du Bois's ideal?A. All Americans enjoy equal rights.B. A person is judged by their worth.C. A new term is created to address African Americans.D. All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.第II卷(52’)Section ADirections: Fill in the sentences with the proper form of the given verbs.1.My cousin went to Australia three years ago.

What ____51____ the individual players? What is the role of a manager's personality in inspiring team performance? Since every corporation is a potential minefield (雷区) of personality traits, he or she had better also have ____52____ skills.Karl Moore, an associate professor at McGill University in Canada, has written two recent articles on the role of different personality types in business. One of the most common ____53____ is between introverts (内向者) and extroverts (外向者). Mr. Moore estimates that around 40% of the population are introverts, 40% are extroverts and 20% are "ambiverts" who can ____54____ both characteristics.Extroverts are most likely to go far in business. They are, after all, good at ____55____ themselves. While an academic study found that extroverts were 25% more likely to ____56____ a high-earning job. It may also be said a high-earning job would make anyone more confident and outgoing. Yet, personality traits tend to develop early in life.The study also found that the children of ____57____ families were more likely to be extrovert. It could simply be that children who grow up in more prosperous homes are less likely to face the kind of stressful events that ____58____ self-confidence. People with higher self-confidence may apply for more prestigious jobs and may be more likely to believe that their efforts will be rewarded; those with a negative self-image may feel it is not worth trying too hard.But introverts are also ____59____ climbing the greasy pole. A study in 2017 found that introvert executives were more likely to _____60_____ the expectations of the Board than their bragging, uber-confident colleagues.Mr. Moore thinks that successful executives have to become ambiverts in order to succeed. Introverts must show _____61_____ or make an occasional stirring speech, when the situation calls for it. And extroverts need to shut up and listen to their teams — not least because when the manager speaks first, the team members will be_____62_____ to disagree._____63_____, managers also need to think about the different personality types when conducting meetings. It is easy for meetings to be _____64_____ by extroverts, who have a tendency to speak the loudest and most often. Introverts may never _____65_____ the discussion.Managers have to spend time chatting to, and observing their team members before deciding how best to get them motivated.

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 read.(A)The writer Martin Bailey believes Vincent van Gogh drew inspiration from Hokusai’s The Great Wave when he painted one of his most dazzling and celebrated works, Starry Night.Side by side, the similarities are obvious. In the Hokusai, Bailey points out that the wave towers over the volcanic peak of Mount Fuji. In the Van Gogh: “The swirling mass in the sky hurtles towards the more gentle slopes of Les Alpilles.”It is known by art historians that Van Gogh had a passion for Japanese art and was a keen collector of Japanese prints. He particularly admired Hokusai’s The Great Wave which is today one of the most recognizable and reproduced artworks of all.Starry Night was painted in the summer of 1889 when Van Gogh was in a small mental asylum on the outskirts of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.“I did research on the other patients in the asylum and they were all in a terrible state so it must have been very, very difficult for him to adjust his life. I think it was art which kept him sane and gave him a reason to live.” He painted Starry Night in June, inspired by the night sky that he looked up at through the bars of his cell and the stunning Provence landscape with its wheat fields, cypress trees and olive groves.Bailey argues that Van Gogh was also inspired, possibly unconsciously, by his memories of The Great Wave. “He didn’t have the print with him but he obviously remembered it in great detail. He had a very strong visual memory.” Bailey, however, insists that the comparison should not be seen as diminishing the brilliance of Starry Night. The painting was “a work of imagination with all sorts of conscious and unconscious elements which must have come into Vincent’s mind when he was doing the painting.”“It is surprising no one has made this comparison before. I’ve put it to a number of Hokusai and Van Gogh experts and they have all said it is a very interesting theory. It is difficult to prove but my feeling is that it is highly likely.”Starry Night is today regarded as one of Van Gogh’s true masterpieces although the artist himself never regarded it that way. “It is incredible,” said Bailey.“If you go to the Museum of Modern Art in New York where Starry Night is on display there are more people with their cameras out in front of it than probably any of the other paintings there.“Who would imagine someone living in a mental asylum would be able to paint such a marvelous work?”66. Which of the following claims may Martin Bailey support?A. The Great Wave and Starry Night have nothing in common.B. The existence of The Great Wave makes Starry Night less brilliant.C. Starry Night was created based on the general idea of The Great Wave.D. Starry Night is a masterpiece inspired by The Great Wave to some extent.67. According to the passage, what is the main similarity between the two paintings?A. Both of them were created in mental asylumsB. Both of them depicted a rare natural phenomenon.C. Both of them drew their main elements from Japan.D. Both of them impress people with the natural power they embody.68. According to Martin Bailey, which of the following statements about Starry Night is true?A. Van Gogh sold Starry Night to make ends meet.B. The painting was created when Van Gogh was in the wheat field.C. The print of The Great Wave carried by Van Gogh inspired him to draw Starry Night.D. The unique ability to memorize painting details might have helped Van Gogh complete Starry Night.69. What can be inferred from “Who would imagine someone living in a mental asylum would be able to paint sucha marvelous work?”A. Those living in mental asylums have no chance to create great works.B. The negative influence of the surroundings urge artists to draw better.C. It is astonishing that artists are able to create masterpieces in terrible surroundings.D. Only those staying in mental asylums are able to paint such an incredibly beautiful masterpiece(B)AIR CANADAExcess Baggage FeesWhen travelling on Air Canada, the size and number of bags you check is limited by the free checked baggage allowance.

It was titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence.” This big headline seemed to confirm what a lot of people have been saying—that screen time is horrible for young people.The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens’ amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person againsttheir own mental health over time. Case closed? Not so fast. Let’s take a closer look at this and other studies, and ask ourselves: What exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several caveats.Caveat #1: The association between social media use and depression is, on average, tiny.In this big JAMA study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens and found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores. Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64-point higher depression score. Within each teen, increasing their daily social media use by 1 hour was also associated with a 0.41-point increase to their own depression score. You may be asking, “But what does a 0.64-point increase mean? How much more depression is that?” Depression was measured on a 28-point scale, so these less-than-one-point increases are tiny.Caveat #2: Not everybody has the same relationship with social media.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users, and the take-home finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. What makes for “problematic” use? The researchers adapted the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale to cover all forms of social media. It includes questions like, “You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems” and “You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success.” These sound similar to questions about other types of addiction like alcoholism. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. It’s the same with social media.Caveat #3: We don’t know if it’s really social media use causing depression.There’s one important thing to remember about survey research—just because two things happen together. it’s not necessarily true that one causes the other. Another possibility is that something else entirely is causing some people to have both high levels of depression and social media use. For example, one interesting study shows that childhood maltreatment was associated with greater current social media use. It’s not hard to imagine that people mistreated in childhood also had higher levels of depression. In this case, depression may have nothing to do with how much someone is using social media.73. The study published by the journal JAMA ________A. found screen time is the cause of adolescent depression.B. has researched more than 3,000 young adults over the span of four years.C. concluded that teens who used social media more suffered from more depression.D. found that teens who spent one more hour on social media had a 0.41-point higher depression score than their peers74. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “caveats” (para.2)?A. warningsB. approachesC. faultsD. suggestions75. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A. Almost all types of social media users experience problematic social media use.B. The influence of social media use on depression has not been exaggerated.C. People who are depressed always choose to spend more time on social media.D. People mistreated during their childhood suffer from depression probably due to their childhood experience。

Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption.

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.15AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to se ll yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”16In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staff17B) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. T o get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplace18B) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very l ittle to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.19For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s th e kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has20the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.21D)They are ill-bred.88. How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.90. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.22B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.上海交通大学附属中学2019届高一分班考（英语）（答案）II．Grammar and Vocabulary1—10 BDCBA BBCAD11—20 CBAAB BDACC21—30 BADDA CBBCD31—40 AAACB ABCBC41—50 DABBC CDCDC51—55 BDABCII. 56—6523ABC BD D AD BC C E A AB BIII 66--80CDBAB ADABC DADACIV. 每题两分81—85 CABDB86—90 CDCBA24。

And, ___49___, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in ___50___, the researchers say. People ___51___ to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave ___52___. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more ___53___ or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin, US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students regarding their experience of physical and ___54___ bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, ___55___ by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain ___56___, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and ___57___ to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence, with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social ____58___, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman. “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”What are the things that first come to your mind when you think of the UK? Are they nonstop rain, polite manners, boring food and tea drinking?Some of the UK’s ___59___ stereotypes are true, a new survey has found. For example, British people do have a(n) ___60___ to drink lots of tea.The research polled 1,402 foreigners living in the UK on their opinions about the British way of life. Unsurprisingly, the majority of them, almost 70 percent, said they enjoyed living in the country—good manners, especially UK people’s extraordinary ability to queue, are the main reasons for foreigners’ ___61___. More than one-third said they liked British people’s restrained ___62___ to emotion.However, there are aspects of British culture that are ___63___ upon. The heavy alcohol drinking culture ___64___ as the least favorite characteristic, followed by the British sense of humor and the country’s bad weather. It may not be too hard to understand why heavy drinking and bad weather are ___65___, but what’s wrong with the British sense of humor?British humor is known for being dry and satirical（讽刺的），so it is generally more ___66___. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more ___67___ than a socially inappropriate joke, noted the BBC.“Britons are more comfortable with life’s loser,”write English actor Ricky Gervais in an article published inTime magazine.“The majority of nationalities have stcrotypes fitted around them and Britons don’t escape this,”said Liam Clifford, the founder of Global Visas, the website that conducted the research.“People’s probably come here with a stereotype-based preconception of what to expect. It’s good to see from our survey, though, that, in the majority of cases，this reputation is actually ___68___ upon living here.”Ⅰ.

Previous research finds that homework effort is consistently ___69___ with student achievement. ___70___ conscientiousness appears to be the most important personality for predicting homework effort. With this connection in mind, ___71___ of homework have argued that the effort that students put in their homework may have positive effects by influencing conscientiousness. In their study, the Tübingen scientists investigated whether this ___72___ holds true.They analyzed 2,760 students from two different schools in the German states. Students were evaluated right after their ___73___ from primary to secondary school in Grade 5. For the next three years, students were evaluated ___74___ between six and eight weeks after the start of each school year. They answered questions such as how many of their last 10 homework assignments to mathematics. Also, they were asked how conscientious they thought they were, including whether they would describe themselves as tidy or as ___75___ ___76___ students’ self-reports, parents were asked to ___77___ their children’s conscientiousness as well.Results show that those students who put a lot of effort in their homework between Grade 5 and 8 also ___78___ in terms of their conscientiousness. Previous research has shown that conscientiousness tends to undergo a temporary ___79___ in late childhood and early adolescence. As the results found by the Tubingen scientists suggest, doing your homework thoroughly appeared to balance it."Our results show that homework is not only relevant for school performance, but also benefits personality development—if students put a lot of effort into their assignments," says Richard Göllner, first author of the study. "The question whether doing your homework can also influence the conscientiousness development has been mostly ___80___ in previous discussions of the role of homework," criticizes Ulrich Trautwein, director of the Hector Research Institute.

A. fulfilled B. completed C. perform D. implementedSection BDirections：Read the following three passages. Choose the answer that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as a factor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more we are together—the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that.Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy. The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep.The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the few mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities to the comic press. This kind of thing: "A man was seen yesterday buying a third-class ticket for the new London and Birmingham Railway. The state of his mind is being enquired into".A writer in the early days of railways wrote feelingly of both second-and third-class carriages. He made the suggestion that the directors of the railways must have sent all over the world to find the hardest possible wood. Of the open third-class trucks he said that they had the peculiar property of meeting the rain from whatever quarter it came. He described them as horizontal shower-baths, from whose searching power there was no escape.84. According to those who welcomed the railway, the railway itself should include all the following expect ____.A. the railway enables people travel fastB. the railway brings comfort to peopleC. the railway makes the world peacefulD. the railway leads the world to war as well85. According to the anti-railway group, all the followings are true but ___.A. tunnels are dangerous to public healthB. the noise and the glare of the engine fire may affect people’s nervesC. the rapid speed through the air does damage to people’s lungsD. to those with high blood-pressure, the rapid speed of the train causes them to die86. We may safely conclude that ___.A. the author belongs to the anti-railway groupB. he author belongs to the for-railway groupC. the author speaks highly of the railwayD. the author may never take train because of its potential dangers87. What is the tone of this passage?A. PracticalB. SatiricalC. HumorousD. Exaggerated（B）Ecological & Geological ToursSurrounded by the sea, Hong Kong is a fun and wonderful place for water sports.

According to the last paragraph, which one of the following is NOT true?A. People in Coastal Scenery Tours are heading for Cape D’Aquila Marine ReserveB. wave erosion over the years plays a key role in forming the coastal landformsC. Tai Tam Harbour is the only natural coastline along the sand beaches at To Tei Wan and the Ngan Hang VillageD. Tai Tam Harbour is not far from to Tei Wan and the Ngan Hang Village（C）Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes: emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. “The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both these examples point up the fact that attitudes come from experience. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were influenced largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose words are highly regarded by them.Another reason it is true is that pupils often devote their time to a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who has previously acquire little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop whole greatly attitudes are innumerable. Social studies（with special reference to races, beliefs and nationalities），science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the induction of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise to attempt to change their feelings by criticizing them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experience.To illustrate, first-grade pupils, afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer as which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be negative if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions of which children shouldbe encouraged to reach their own decisions as result of objective analysis of all the facts.91. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text?A. A statement is made and two examples are given to illustrate it.B. A controversy is stared and two opposite points of view are presented.C. A widely accepted definition is presented and two men are described.D.

According to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets．It’s also not all about work-life balance．Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles．Only about one-in-five say women's family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren't more females in top leadership positions in business and politics．Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to die highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves．Similar shares say the electorate (选民) and American companies are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions．As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in American companies will change in theforeseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace．While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive pos itions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men．Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime．31．What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey? A．They have to do more to distinguish themselves．B．They have to strive harder to win their positions．C．They are stronger than men in terms of willpower．D．They are just as intelligent and innovative as men．32．What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?A．They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success．B．They are lacking in confidence when competing with men．C．Their failures may have something to do with family duties．D．Relatively few arc hindered in their career advancement．33．What does the passage say about American companies in the near future?A．More and more women v/ill sit in the boardroom．B．Gender imbalance in leadership is likely to change．C．The public is undecided about whether women will make good leaders．D．People have opposing opinions as to whether they will have more women leaders．34．What do most Americans expect to see soon on America's political stage?A．A woman in the highest position of government．B．More and more women actively engaged in politics．C．A majority of women voting for a female president．D．As many women in top government positions as men．五、语法填空China's Worst SandstormChina's worst sandstorm in a decade caused mass disruptions on Monday as vast swathes (广大地区) of the country were thrown into a thick, orange haze of dust and sand, 35．(force) authorities to cancel hundreds of flights, shutter roads and schools, and suspend outdoor activities．In Beijing, poor visibility paralyzed traffic as residents posted photos of skyscrapers seemingly 36．(disappear) into the fog and compared images of the haze to scenes in the dystopian 1982 film Blade Runner．Beijing and 23 other cities recorded “off the chart”levels of air pollution, according to state media．In Beijing, PM 10, a measure of tiny particles in the air often 37．(associate) with sandstorms, hit more than 9, 000 micrograms per cubic meter, or 180 times the level considered healthy by the World Health Organization．Some residents said they were wearing two masks even while indoors．Officials in neighboring Mongolia, after the sandstorm 38．(emerge) before sweeping across northern China, were searching for more than 80 herders who had gone missing．China's National Meteorological Center said it expected 12 provinces and municipalities — an area covering about 160, 000 square miles, about the size of California — 39．(affect) by the storm．The National Health Commission advised residents to stay indoors, seal windows and doors, and to use humidifiers and wet cloth 40．(deal) with any dust．41．residents must go outside, they should wear a mask, a hat or scarf to protect their face．Population Growth in Nineteenth-Century EuropeBecause of industrialization and a vast increase in agricultural output, in Europe as a whole, the population rose from 188 million in 1800 to 400 million in 1900．By 1900, virtually every area of Europe 42．(contribute) to the tremendous surge of population．Improvements in the food supply continued trends that had started in the late seventeenth century．New lands were put under cultivation, while the use of crops of American origin, particularly the potato, continued to expand．After 1850, the expansion of foods more regularly kept pace with population growth, 43．the poorer classes remained malnourished．Two developments were crucial．First, the application of science and new technology to agriculture increased．Led by German universities, an increasing number of researches 44．(devote) to improving seeds, developing chemical fertilizers, and advancing livestock．Mechanization included the use of horse-drawn harvesters and seed drills, many 45．(develop) initially in the United States．The second development 46．(involve) industrially based transportation．With trains and steam shipping, it became possible to move foods to needy regions within Western Europe quickly．Famine became a thing of the past．Europe's population growth had included one additional innovation by the nineteenth century - rapid urbanization．With a growing number of people47．(press) available resources on the land, people crowded intocities to seek work or other resources．During that period, urban death rates remained high, particularly in the lower-class slums, but they began to decline rapidly 48．urban sanitation (卫生) was greatly improved．Reformers, including enlightened doctors, began to study the causes of high death rates and to urge reform．For instance, Edwin Chadwick led an urban campaign for underground sewers (下水道) in England in the 1830s．Gradually, public health provisions began to cut into customary urban mortality rates．Around 1900, in some parts of Western, Europe life expectancy in the cities began to surpass 49．of the rural areas．Industrial societies figured out ways to combine large and growing cities with population growth, a development that would soon spread to other parts of the world．六、选词填空Surfing the Internet during class doesn't just steal focus from the educator, it also hurts students who're already 50．to grasp the material．A new study from Michigan State University, though, argues that all students-including high achievers-see a 51．in performance when they browse the Internet during class for non-academic purposes．To measure the effects of Internet-based distractions during class, researchers 52．500 students taking an introductory psychology class at Michigan State University．Researchers used ACT scores as a 53．of intellectual abilities．Because previous research has shown that people with high intellectual abilities are better at 54．out distractions, researchers believed students with high ACT scores would not show a 55．decrease in performance due to their use of digital devices．But students who surfed the web during class did worse on their exams regardless of their ACT scores, suggesting that even the academically smartest students are harmed when they re distracted in class．College professors are increasingly raising alarm bells about the effects smartphones, laptops, and tablets have on academic performance．One 2013 study of college students found that 80% of students use their phones or laptops during class, with the average student checking their digital device 11 times in a 56．class．A quarter of students report that their use of digital devices during class causes their grades to 57．Professors sometimes implement policies 58．to minimize students' use of digital devices, and some instructors even confiscate (没收) tablets and phones．In a world where people are increasingly dependent on theirphones, though, such strategies often fail．One international study found that 84% of people say they couldn't go a day without their smartphones．Until students are able to 59．the pull of social networking, texting, and endlessly surfing the web, they may continue to struggle in their classes．For many young Chinese, neither “The Shepherd in Keketuohai (可可托海的牧羊人) ” nor the name of its original singer, Wang Qi, sounds familiar．Their parents, however, may know every word in the song．Such generational 60．in musical tastes aren't unusual．What may be surprising is where most middle-aged Chinese people may have first 61．the song: the popular short-video app Douyin．A March search for the song's name on Douyin returned more than seven million clips, many from an increasing number of accounts popular among middle-aged users．That some Douyin users might not be familiar with a song, even as others are constantly hearing it, is the result of the platform's highly 62．recommendation algorithms (算法) ．They are able to produce different video feeds for each user based on their musical preferences and tastes．In the five years since its 63．in 2016, Douyin has grown into one of China's biggest platforms for pop music．On QQ Music, the largest digital music service provider in the country, songs popular among short-video creators are even ranked on a64．Douyin Chart．The variety and scale of the app's user base mean all genres and styles can find an audience, and more and more artists now choose Douyin to debut their new tracks in the hopes of achieving a viral 65．One of the most popular uses for music on an app like Douyin is known as a challenge video．Short clips from songs are played over a well-designed dance, which creators then challenge their followers to imitate．If a given dance challenge shows promise, it- is quickly 66．by the platform's algorithms and pushed to a larger user pool．Over time, more and more pop music has been produced 67．with such uses in mind, and songs are now being composed to be easily adapted to these short video formats．This trend is having an impact on our relationship to music．Users often find they can 68．recognize or remember the artists, names or the titles of songs．Meanwhile, the songs themselves are often cut up to focus only on their catchiest parts, while covers (翻唱版本) often go on to achieve far more fame than the 69．七、六选四There was a time when both literature and the study of literature came under the delightful belleslettres-beautiful letters．When the phrase was introduced in the 18th century, literature was considered, at its best, beautiful．Devotees tried to reproduce that beauty in their response to it．Modernism was a turning point, when literature became more alienated and combative (好斗的) with respect to society．American literature, with its powerful, democratic associations, contributed to the change．Belles lettres seemed too elitist to describe early-20th century writing．The superiority of belles lettres was further undermined by the rise of science as civilization's potential savior．Science was necessary to defend democracy, first during World War 11 and then during the Cold War．Now, it is the means of moving ahead in a competitive, technological society．Who has time for beauty when there is serious work to be done?The death knell (丧钟) for belles lettres came with a 1959 lecture by the scientist and novelist C．P．Snow, “The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution．”Snow seemed to call for cooperation bet ween science and the humanities, but he was really criticizing the scientific illiteracy of writers and critics who, unlike him, didn't happen to be scientists as well．The problem is that science and the humanities are inherently incommensurate fields．Science builds on its discoveries．It moves forward, so that the past is the literal foundation for the present and future．Literature does not move forward in this way．One need not read Shakespeare to write a play or a poem．By the same token Shakespeare is as relevant today as he was when he wrote．The simple truth that progress is central to science but not to the humanities is difficult to grasp for people who seek improvement in every walk of life．It fuels the drive to make the humanities scientific-through the use of technical jargon (术语) , general theories about social texts, and quantitative tools to analyze word choice, sentence structure and other aspects of literature．When the humanities give up their mission and seek shelter from progress, they become dangerous companion to ideological agendas．Students come to feel there is a definitive, “virtuous”reading of an event or a text; they criticize great authors of the past based on the standards of the present．They create a climate that arouses opposition from those who feel excluded or offended by such thinking but who lack the humanistic training to do more than fight back．We need to be skeptical of beauty and its relationship to truth, but we also need to see truth as beautiful, and to look with skepticism upon the products of a culture that speak to us in ugly, pseudoscientific (伪科学的) ways．70．In the author's opinion, which of the following statements might C．P．Snow agree with?A．Cooperation determines the progress of civilization．B．We don't actually need literature and art．C．We need the humanities as much as science．D．A writer who doesn't know science is undesirable．71．What does the word “incommensurate (Line 1, Para．4)” most probably mean?A．unable to affect and promote each other．B．unable to be judged by the same standard．C．related and unable to be totally separated．D．mutually exclusive and independent．72．According to the last two paragraphs, what is the unique role of the humanities?A．To promote civilization of the past．B．To encourage openness and tolerance．C．To cultivate the skeptical mind．D．To create a climate without criticism．73．What's the subject of the text?A．Call for due attention to the humanities．B．Regret about the death of belles Jetties．C．Challenge to the cooperation between art and science．D．Criticism on progressives' control of the humanities．“Globalization” has been a buzzword of the last three decades．The increase in the exchange of knowledge, trade and capital around the world, driven by technological innovation, brought the term into the spotlight．Some see globalization as a good thing．The United Nations has even predicted that its forces may have the power to eliminate poverty in the 21st century．Others disagree．They may have a point．The International Monetary Fund admitted in 2007 that inequality levels might have risen as a result of foreign capital (资本) investment in developing countries．However, economic historians suggest that the question of whether the benefits of globalization outweigh the disadvantages is more complicated．74．But why does it matter whether globalization started 30,300, or even 3,000 years ago? Because it is impossible to say how much of a “good thing”a process is in history without first defining for how long it has been going on．Although Adam Smith, known as the Father of Economics, never used the word, globalization is a key theme in The Wealth of Nations (《国富论》) , his most important work that remains a classic in economics today．Hisdescription of economic develop ment has as its basic pinciple the integration (融合) of markets over time．As the division of labor enables output to expand, the search lor specialization expands trade．75．The trend is nearly as old as civilization．Primitive (原始的) divisions of labor, between hunters and shepherds, grew as villages and trading networks expanded to include wider specializations．Eventually, armorers (军械工) to craft bows and arrows, carpenters to build houses, and seamstress to make clothing, all appeared as specialist artisans．They traded their wares for food produced by the hunters and shepherds．76．This process that Smith described sounds a lot like “globalization” even if it was more limited in geographical area than what most people believe the term suggests today．Globalization has not always been a one-way process．Evidence shows that (here was also “deglobalization” in history, like during the interwar (两次世界大战之间的) period in the 20th century．77．It has a history that stretches back for thousands of years, starting with Smith's primitive hunter-gatherers trading with the next village, and developing into the globally interconnected societies we know today．Whether you consider globalization to be a “good thing,” it appears to be an essential element of the economic history of mankind．A．This gradually brings communities from different parts of the world together．B．However, it is clear that globalization is not simply a process that started in the last three decades．C．For them, the answer depends on when you believe the process of globalization was effectively started．D．Globalization has enriched the world scientifically and culturally, and has benefitted many people economically as well．E．Some modem economic historians dispute the argument that the discovery of the Americas accelerated the process of globalization．F．As villages, towns, countries and continents started trading goods that they were efficient at making for ones they were not．Markets became more integrated．参考答案1.【解析】考查介词短语、形容词、动词、一般过去时和定语从句。
高一英语百日训练之 阅读理解(84)含答案详解
高一英语百日训练之阅读理解（84）含答案详解【题文】Are You a Morning Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts – from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros—to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant(for) even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy in the morning because of th e fragmented sleep,” [explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.]2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time.Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of shuteye, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3. Don’t ease in to your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on-checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when y ou’re likely to need a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.V ocabulary Focustap(v) [tæp] to get or make use of somethinggroggy (adj) [‘gragi] weak and unable to think clearly or walk correctly, usually because of tiredness or illnessshuteye (n) [‘ʃʌtai] sleepplow through (something) (phr v) to finish reading, eating or dealing with something with difficulty67. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day.B. To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C. To help us to get the most out of our mornings.D. To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.68. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B. To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C. Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment.D. It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.69. Where can we find the passage?A.

Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story ___56___ concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his idealistic ___57___ for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby explores ___58___ of decadence（堕落）, idealism, resistance to change, social disturbance, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as an alarming tale regarding the American Dream.Fitzgerald, ___59___ by the parties he had attended while visiting Long Island's north shore, began planning the novel in 1923 desiring to produce, in his words, "something new—something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and carefully ___60___." Progress was slow with Fitzgerald completing his first draft following a move to the French Riviera in 1924. His editor, Maxwell Perkins, felt the book was too vague and ___61___ the author to revise over the next winter. Fitzgerald was uncertain about the book's title, at various times wishing to re-title the novel Trimalchio in West Egg.First published by Scribner's in April 1925, The Great Gatsby received ___62___ reviews and sold poorly; in its first year, the book sold only 20,000 copies. Fitzgerald died in 1940, believing himself to be a failure and his work forgotten. However, the novel ___63___ a revival during World War II, and became a part of American high school curricula and numerous stage and film ___64___ in the following decades. Today, The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary classic and a strong competitor for the title "Great American Novel". The book is ___65___ ranked among the greatest works of American literature. In 1998 the Modern Library editorial board voted it the best American novel and the second best novel in the English language.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.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But __66__ some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of __73__ feedback that improve an individual's emotional state. __74__ one classical theory of emotion. our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to __75__.Although sadness also happens before tears. evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of Wurzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to __76__ a pen either with their teeth --- thereby creating an artificial smile --- or with their lips, which would produce a __77__ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles __78__ more exuberantly to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, __79__ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. __80__, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.66. A. among B. except C. despite D. like67. A. reflect B. demand C. indicate D. produce68. A. release B. maintain C. evaluate D. observe69. A. measurable B. manageable C. affordable D. renewable70. A.

A. disappointed B. natural C. joyful D. funny78. A. adapted B. catered C. turned D. reacted79. A. suggesting B. requiring C. mentioning D. supposing80. A. Eventually B. Consequently C. Similarly D. ConverselySection BDirections:Read the following 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.AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplaceB) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very little to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a wayto set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Not all Americans, including the blacks, have received the term “African-American”with enthusiasm. When Ann Landers, a well-known newspaper columnist __45__ for the term in her column, she was shocked by the responses from the __46__ public. A huge number of readers of races wrote to say that they do not approve of the term “African-American.”When I raised the term “African-American”in a conversation with a black lady, she shook her head before answering my question. “People were upset with the word ‘Negro’, so they __47__ to be called ‘black’. In fact, Negro means black in Spanish. Then they invented this new term. It’s getting too complicated now, and I don’t know what we should be called any more.” However, not everyone regards it as a complicated issue. A New Jersey resident __48__ stated his opinion: Blacks have been in this country for over 200 years. They’re just as American as any other ethnic (种族的) group.The argument over “African-American”has involved other minority groups as well. Someone from Seattle wrote to the newspaper: I could never understand why people whose ancestors came from Africa __49__ themselves to be called black. My grandparents came from Japan, and I would be __50__ if someone called me “yellow”. To __51__ a person by color is just plain insulting.The American Indians, however, approached this issue with a different tone. One of them confronted(面对) the newspaper columnist with the following words: You gave a lot of __52__ to the African-American. I wish you’d do as much for the Native American Indian. We are the most ignored of all the minorities. They don’t call us anything and nobody cares. The treatment of our people is the darkest __53__ in America’s history. America was our country, and now America wants no part of us.III. Reading Comprehension (36%)Section A Cloze Test (1% *15 = 15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products. Today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the __54__that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to __55__. Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for __56__ use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis __57__ indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials down to the molecules(分子), looking for ways to make them __58__ for people and the planet.Home builders can now use materials — such as paints that release significantly __59__ amounts of organic compounds — that don’t __60__ the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately, __61__, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating __62__ healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil __63__ reused by industry again and again. As a matter of __64__, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already __65__ a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable (可循环利用的).Look at it this way: No one starts out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are basically causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So __66__ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are adopting a __67__ approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a __68__ effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.54. A. practice B. idea C. outlook D. schedule55. A. go B. continue C. come D. arrive56. A. relevant B. indoor C. flexible D. forward57.

A. functional B. sensible C. beneficial D. preciousSection B (21%)Directions: Read the following four 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)My true life started when I carefully pinned Qinghua University’s school motto (座右铭) “self-discipline and socialcommitment” above my bed, adopting it as my personal motto. I am acountrymen, I am a worker, I am a vagrant (无业游民), I am a teacher,I am a unique form of Qinghua student. But focusing on the man thatI am is not as important as seizing my destiny and becoming the manI will be. However, with my life as it is, this isn’t easy, so Imust struggle. – Zhang LiyongOnce published, Zhang Liyong’s book “The Cook with Fluent English”immediately caught the public’s eye. Telling the true experiences of a common man, this book has encouraged and stimulated many English-learners.Born the eldest son of a poor family in Jiangxi Province, Zhang quit school early in order to help out his family. His first job was a worker in a toy factory in Guangzhou, where his experiences made him see the English language in a new light. He found out how important English was in communication with foreigners. Always under an intense workload, and with poor housing conditions, he felt no sense of belonging during those days in Guangzhou. So, with the realization that learning English was the only way to better his lot in life, and a ticket to step onto the campus of Qinghua University as well, he began to pursue the life he wanted. It was this move to become a student again that surrounded Zhang with the environment necessary for his success in English.After reading “The Cook with Fluent English”, Daisy Dai, whose major is Englishlanguage and literature, comments, “First of all, I think his university was quite helpful for him to study English, because there are a lot of resources available on campus. Also, I believe that his passion for studying English should be encouraged. Because he was working full-time as a cook, he must have studied English in his spare time. Now that time for intensive study, like in schools or in universities is quite limited, we all have to form the habit of teaching ourselves. I think we should learn by his examples.”69.In his book Zhang Liyong stated that __________.A.Qinghua University is the best place for English studiesB.seizing his future is more importantC.the motto helped him to start his university lifeD.he must struggle to study English well70.During the days in Guangzhou, Zhang __________.A.quit school to help out his familyB.started to learn English by himselfC.began to realize the importance of EnglishD.showed great interest in communicating with foreigners71.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Daisy Dai as the reasons why Zhangsucceeds in studying English?A.He has developed the habit of self-study.B.He is passionate for studying English.C.He is talented in studying English.D.He made good use of campus resources.72.The underlined word intense refers to ______.A. involving extreme effortsB. concerning great detailsC. long-lastingD. giving strength to(B)The young boy saw me, or, he saw the car and quickly ran upto me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again. I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him. “I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?”I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.“Oh, gosh! Long time.”“Are you in school now?” I asked.He nodded.“That’s good.” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and thenI realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”73.What was the author’s first impression of the boy?A.He seemed to be poor and greedy.B.He seemed to have suffered a lot.C.He seemed younger than his age.D.He seemed good at bargaining.74.The third time the author met him, the boy ______.A.told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB.wanted to express his thanksC.asked him for money for his schoolbooksD.tried to take advantage of him75.Why did the author give his money to the boy?A.Because he had enough money to do that.B.Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.C.Because he held a higher position in the society.D.Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.76.Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite.B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful.D. Shy and nervous.(C)A Big First for WomenHollywood history has been made now that KathrynBigelow has become the first female to win a Best Director Oscar.“There’s no other way to describe it, it’s the moment of a lifetime,” said 58-year-old Bigelow excitedly, at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles.Bigelow’s film, The Hurt Locker(《拆弹部队》), swept the awards with six trophies, including Best Director and Best Picture.The movie about a bomb disposal(拆除) unit in the Iraq War beat Avatar, the highest grossing(票房收入) film of all time, to the major awards. This was sweetened by the fact that Avatar’s director, James Cameron, is her ex-husband.Bigelow played down her success, telling CBS, “There’s really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do. I mean we all try to make our days, we all try to give the best performances we can, we try to make our budget, we try to make the best movie we possibly can. So in that sense it’s very similar.”However, Bigelow’s cinematic journey could not have strayed(偏离) farther from the path of female directors before her. Her movies are low on female characters and high on guns and steel. They focus on men: their fears, bonds (关系) and rites of passage (成长历程).Point Break was her breakout film in 1991. The action film tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover (卧底) to investigate a gang of bank robbers. It was popular because of its strong but flawed (有缺点的) male characters.The Hurt Locker is in the same style. The war film is about an anti-hero, William James, leading a crew of competing men in removing roadside bombs around Iraq. James is addicted to risk taking and enjoys putting his fellow soldiers in constant danger. Many scenes are full of clashing (冲突的) male personalities.Focusing on these male relationships, critics praised The Hurt Lockers for avoiding obvious political statements (something Avatar was heavily criticized for), and instead painting a truthful picture of modern war.And is there an entertaining end to the story of Bigelow’s victory? She won on International Women’s Day.It is, after all, Hollywood.77.Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the article?A.Avatar is the most profitable film in history.B.Bigelow is the first female director to win the Best Director Oscar.C.Bigelow and James Cameron were once married.D.The film The Hurt Locker tries to make strong political statements about theIraq war.78.What does the first sentence in Paragraph 6 mean?A.Bigelow has a similar style to other female directors.B.Bigelow usually wants to work with other females.C.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow focuses on male topics.D.Unlike other female directors, Bigelow has made other mistakes.79.The text tells us that ______.A.The Hurt Locker aims to show how men love danger and war.B.The Hurt Locker presents the clashes between male characters well.C.Bigelow was given the award because it was Women’s Day.D.Bigelow was proud of defeating a male director.80.The article is about ______.A.The unique style of the first woman to win the Oscar for best direction.B.What makes Bigelow different from other female directorsC.The award-winning film Bigelow madeD.The Hurt Locker beating Avatar at the Oscars(D)“My child seems sad; is he suffering from depression?”Not necessarily: Normal sadness or grieving is not depression.Don’t worry if your child occasionally feels blue or down in thedumps. Life has its ups and downs, and it’s normal for children togrieve over a loss or feel sad for a few hours or days at a time.But if his melancholy(忧郁症) lasts for more than a couple of weeks or seems to interfere with his regular activities and relationships, he may beclinically depressed. Depression is far more than a temporary change in mood; it’s marked by a sense of hopelessness and a lack of energy and enthusiasm that can last for weeks, months, or (in rare cases) even years at a time. The good news about depression is that it’s almost always treatable. The key is identifying the problem and getting help.What are the symptoms?It might seem logical that the most obvious symptom of depression would be sadness, but many depressed children say they don’t feel sad or gloomy. Interestingly, one of the key signs of depression in children is irritability (易怒). Children may be depressed if they have trouble getting along with other kids and family members or have dramatic swings in mood. Other signs of depression include lack of energy, inability to concentrate, poor performance in school, a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, and frequent complaints about physical ailments like headaches or stomachaches.Depression often goes hand in hand with other mental health problems. A youngster who has an eating disorder or a substance abuse problem, as well as kids who are constantly defiant (挑衅), disagreeable, and getting into trouble with authorities, may also suffer from depression.“How do I know if my child is depressed?”If your child exhibits any symptoms of depression, ask yourself three questions: Is this behavior new? Is it long-lasting (going on for several weeks or more)? Are the symptoms interfering with his ability to function at home, in school, or with his friends? If you answer yes to any of those questions, you should probably have your child evaluated by a child or adolescent (青少年) psychologist, psychiatrist, or other licensed mental health professional trained to work with children and adolescents.81.Which one of the following children is more likely to be suffering from depression?A.Jane felt sad when she got a “C” for yesterday’s homework.B.Tom doesn’t have a friend and always gets angry.C.John complained about his headache this morning.D.Linda is too lazy to help her parents to do housework.82.What does the underlined phrase “have dramatic swings in mood” probably mean?A. Be moody.B. Be upset all the time.C. Have ups and downs in expression.D. Show anger and sadness.83. We can conclude from the passage that _________.A. adults are more likely to suffer from depressionB. depression is temporary and always treatable.C. children who suffer from depression all seem sadD. depression is a mental health problem84. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Children who perform poorly in school are probably suffering from depression.B. Children may also suffer from depression, which has some special symptoms.C. Children should get medical help when they seem sad and angry.D. Parents should not overreact to their children’s bad mood.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.(E)85._______________Most of the large cities in the world have grown without plans and blueprints. London is such a city. Its streets zigzag, snake, and circle. There is no reason ororder to its street-numbering system. Indeed, no one but a veteran taxi driver knows the whole of London. And before he gets his cabbie’s license he must first tour the city for months, street by street, then take a comprehensive examination to prove that he can find his way about. New York and Chicago grew in much the same way. They just spread out, pushed by the demands for residential, business, or industrial space. Like spilled water, they expanded in all directions. Today in New York, even a native-born Manhattanite despairs of finding his way around Brooklyn.86.________________There are a few modern cities, however, that were created out of nothing. They were built strictly by the book according to detailed plans that will also control future growth. Two such American cities are Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. But the prime example of a city planned and built from scratch in the twentieth century is Brasilia, the new capital of Brazil.87._________________Ready for business in 1960, Brasilia was an architect’s delight and a planner’s dream. Its public buildings, monuments, and high-rise apartment complexes were magnificently modern. Access roads fed into the streets with no traffic lights. Every feature seemed logical, reasonable, and right. But for more than a decade, Brasilia seemed all wrong to the people brought there to live and to work in government officers. While it was undeniably a beautiful city, it was not yet a community.88._________________For it is people and their history of habitation that turn a city from a collection of streets and buildings into a community. It is people who give a city life and character and personality –and a brand-new tailor-made Brasilia didn’t have those qualities for a long time. But now, happily, its residents no longer feel they need to rush back to Rio or Sao Paulo at every opportunity. Indeed, they visit, picnic, and enjoy one another’s company. Brasilia is beginning to feel like home to them.89._________________Other planned cities have faced the same problem of creating a community spirit and identity. Some observers of life in Columbia, Maryland, another planned city,。

Despite whatC. Although heD. Though what【答案】B【详解】考查介词和连接代词。
句意：尽管已经采取了措施来培养早晨大声朗读的习惯，但是他的发音仍然是个严重的问题。

故选B项。

故选D项。
【点睛】当that用作连接词，引导名词性从句时，可引导主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句，that在从句中既不充当任何成分，也无实际意义，仅起着连接句子的作用。
一般不可省略。
分析句子可知，整个句子为主系表结构，was为系动词，它之前的都为主语，且主语由句子来充当，句子结构以及句意完整，所以连词代词为that。
故选D项。
3.It is far better for one to drink milk, ________ one gets health nutrients, than to drink coffee, ________ contains no nutrients at all.A. that… whichB. which… whichC. which… thatD. from which… which【答案】D【详解】考查介词+关系代词和关系代词。
句意：对一个人来说，喝牛奶比喝咖啡要好得多，因为牛奶能给人带来健康的营养，而咖啡根本不含营养。
分析句子可知， milk为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句作from的宾语。
再分析句子， coffee为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语中作contain的主语。
所以第一个空为from which, 第二个空为which。
故选D项。
【点睛】定语从句中关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等。
(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why。
(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
分析句子可知， milk为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句作from的宾语。
再分析句子，coffee为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语中作contain的主语。
所以第一个空为from which, 第二个空为which。
故选D项。
4.It is important that parents know of any situation ________ can be of great significance to their children’s behavior and school performance.A. whichB. where itC. whatD. that【答案】D【详解】考查关系代词。
句意：重要的是，家长应该知道任何对孩子的行为和在校表现有重大意义的情况。
分析句子可知，situation为先行词，且被any修饰，在后面的限制性定语从句中作主语，所以关系代词只能为that。
故选D项。
【点睛】定语从句只用that的情况1. 当先行词是everything, anything, nothing （something 除外）, all, none, few, little, some等不定代词时，或当先行词受every, any, all, some, no, little, few, much等词修饰时。
2. 当先行词被序数词修饰时。
3. 当先行词被形容词最高级修饰时。
4. 当先行词被the very, the only, the first / last等修饰时。
5. 当先行词前面有who, which等疑问代词时。
6. 当先行词为人与动物或人与物时。
分析句子可知，situation为先行词，且被any修饰，在后面的限制性定语从句中，作主语，所以关系代词只能为that。
故选D项。
5.When they went into the shop and asked to look at the engagement rings, the shop assistant brought out a cheap one, ________ she has arranged with James.A. which was thatB. what was thatC. which was whatD. that was that【答案】C【详解】考查关系代词和连接代词。
句意：当他们走进商店，要求看一下订婚戒指时，服务员拿出一个便宜的，事先她与詹姆斯已经安排好的那个。
分析句子可知，a cheap one为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句作主语，所以关系代词为which，定语从句为主系表结构，was 为系动词，后接从句作表语，在表语从句中，arrange缺少宾语，所以由what来充当宾语。
故选C项。
【点睛】what常用来引导名词性从句，即主语从句，宾语从句，表语从句和同位语从句.what 在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点：一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义，常表示“什么”，“所…的”，“…的样子”等。
二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分，而且常做主语，宾语或表语。
分析句子可知，a cheap one为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句作主语，所以关系代词为which，定语从句为主系表结构，was为系动词，后接从句作表语，表语从句中，arrange缺少宾语，所以由what来充当宾语。
故选C项。
6.It was with deep sadness that the House of Chanel announced the passing of Karl Lagerfeld, ________ talent for all the branding campaigns related to fashion it benefited since 1987.A. of whichB. whoseC. of whomD. from whose【答案】D【详解】考查介词和关系代词。
句意：House of Chanel深感悲伤地宣布卡尔·拉格菲尔德的去世，卡尔·拉格菲尔德自1987年以来一直致力于所有与时尚相关的品牌宣传活动，令香奈儿受益匪浅。
分析句子可知，本句有两个定语从句。
Karl Lagerfeld为先行词，作talent的定语。
所以关系代词为whose。
在分析第二个定语从句，it benefited from 缺少宾语，所以whose talent for all the branding campaigns related to fashion 又作from的宾语。
故选D项。
7.Who ________ for the US government shutdown after President Donald Trump and the US Congress failed to pass the bill to extend federal funding?A. you suppose to blameB. do you suppose to blameC. you suppose is to blameD. do you suppose is to blame【答案】D【详解】考查插入语。
句意：在唐纳德·特朗普总统和美国国会未能就延长联邦资金的法案达成一致之后，你认为谁应该为美国政府的关闭负责。
分析句子可知，do you suppose 为插入语，后面句子为陈述语序。
故选D项。
8. A modern city has been set up in_______was wasteland ten years ago.A. whatB. whichC. thatD. where 【答案】A【详解】考查名词性从句连接代词。
句意：十年前是一片荒地的地方建起了一座现代化的城市。
该空所填词要作介词in的宾语，且作从句的主语，由此可以排除B，因为where是关系副词，只能作状语。
连接代词what引导一个宾语从句，“是一个什么样的地方”。
故选A。
