Mott Children ’s Hospital, who led the study, one of the most__43__ mistakes was to buy a mattress cover to protect against dust mites(尘螨)for a child whose asthma instead was made even worse by plant pollen. Many of those parents then __44__ to do what would have helped a lot more: shut the windows to keep pollen out. Another was using a humidifier for a child who was allergic（过敏）to dust mites; a humidifier__45__ to be a place where dust miteslike to __46__.

Many smokingparents__48__ expensive air filters that have what Cabana called“questionable utility.”Part of the problem, Dr. Cabana and his colleagues believe, is that parents are bombarded by television ads that encourage them to buy products such as air and carpet fresheners, ionizers and other remedies that are often expensive but medically __49__.

Foremost among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and__55__ the distinction between representation and expression.

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家)Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. ―These findings are more significant than you might think,‖ he said. ―It i s a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.‖A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that 48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. ―A seven percent rise in emotional engagementis 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,‖ he said. ―In evolutionary50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,‖ Dr Fagan added41.

After this __43_____ picture was published, many families wanted a Christmas tree of their own, and the custom soon spread.In 1949, I spent Christmas in Malta as a newly-married naval wife.

New book launch was held last week at the Old China Hand Style, a major __41__ of a series of walking guide books called ―Beyond the Concession: Six Walks in Shanghai‘s Other Districts.‖ And Baker‘s ―Jiading‖ runs the fourth among the six.From a foreign point of view, the book has __42__ the history of Jiading District back between the year Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Song Dynasty (960-1279), when Jiading had been ―a leading economic and intellectual influence in the region long before Shanghai became a major trading port,‖ as Bake r is __43__ in her book.Baker first landed in Shanghai in 2011 with her husband, an engineer with Ford, who was sent to work in Shanghai to prepare for the __44__ of the Lincoln brand in China. ―I and my husband have been traveling around the world in the past 20 years,‖ Baker said at a(n) __45__ with Shanghai Daily. ―Wherever I go, I would jump into the local history and culture quickly and deeply.‖Having taken a 15-month online course of Chinese with Harvard‘s ―China X‖, Baker started __46__ out on her own. An occasional excursion into the northwest of Shanghai, she ―discovered‖ and fell in love with Jiading. Since then, she has visited Jiading __47__, bringing family, friends, and tour groups. At the end of 2013, the Jiading Tourism Bureau officially invited Baker to write abook on Jiading.With up-to-date facts, useful information and __48__ pictures, Baker's ―Jiading‖ is a well researched guide about interesting areas less than one hour from Shanghai. There are chapters on celebrating the seasonal and agricultural festivals that are unique to the region; stories of __49__ figures living in Jiading; changes to the Nanxiang Old Town; tours to numerous gardens, museums and temples; and the development of outdoor recreational activities in Jiading‘s Anting Town, such as the F1 car racing, horse riding and golf.With good public __50__ and enough green space, Baker sees Jiading a high growth district of Shanghai, which offers a quality of lifestyle and tourism. ―I see a better-planned and forward-thinking of the district government. And I sincerely thank the people of Jiading who welcomed me to their community and trusted me with their narrative,‖ Baker says.41. D 42. I 43. B 44. F 45. C 46. A 47. K 48. H 49. E 50.

Now a study has found that people pollute themselves. Many of the pollutants are linked to cancer and other serious health __41__. What‘s the key cause of this pollution? Common household items, __42__, appear to be used more by women than men. These include makeup, hair spray and commercial, chemically-made perfumes. These are the perfumes that are __43__ advertised as having some sort of beneficial effect on the body and are even suggested as a replacement for natural essential oils. Studies on the effectiveness of fragrance oils and health benefits have been __44__, something neglected to be mentioned. If the chemical scent has cancer-causing properties, it may not make sense to try and use it for helping you sleep or __45__your blood pressure. Manufacturers argue that the risk is non-existent as the levels of chemicals found in the tests were so small. However, with over 60 chemicals being found, many of which were non-existent before the turn of the century, researchers make note that these chemicals may be enough to cause problems.Since the products mentioned are often used by women, it leaves one to wonder if conditions, __46__ unheard of before the turn of the century, are linked to man-made chemicals? Perfumes in particular, when chemical, have been linked to asthma（哮喘）and other sensitive __47__.Some groups are asking the government to order manufacturers to place __48__ labels on each bottle.Essential oils and real fragrance oils provide a wonderful __49__ to commercial fragrances. They also have other properties and effects on the body which have been scientifically proven. In addition, you can actually formulate your own scent quite easily! There are many books on perfume __50__ and the use of essential oils, some quite in-depth and others rather fun. Nowadays there are also many companies making perfumes from pure essential oils.41-45 BIFEA 46-50 DGCHK6静安区Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

But the medical advances which now make it possible to think about living to a very great age --- if not forever --- also raise profound practical and ethical issues.Is immortality (永生) a realistic __41__?Not for the foreseeable future. In last year‘s Reith lectures, the gerontologist (老年病学家) Professor Tom Kirkwood firmly quashed (打消) the idea that genetic engineering might result in so me kind of ―fountain of youth‖. Considering how __42__slow the battles against cancer, heart disease and strokes have been, he said, it is fanciful to imagine that we could conquer death. On the other hand, scientists do now understand more about why we age, and what can be done to slow down the process. ―Our ancestral genes placed limited __43__on long-term maintenance and repair,‖ says Kirkwood. ―Ageing comes about through the gradual build-up of __44__ faults in the cells and tissues of our bodies, not as the result of some active mechanism for death and destruction.‖ The __45__ , then, is to help the body repair the damage done by wear and tear.How can that be done?In many different ways, some of which are already pretty common. Organ transplants from pigs and monkeys are now old news --- the American politician Jesse Helms has just had a ten-year-old pig valve (瓣膜) in his heart __46__. Doctors have succeeded in __47__computerized implants directly to nerve fibres, allowing the deaf to hear, and there is hope that electrodes (电极) planted in the brain may soon offer hope for the blind to see. But the real __48__at the moment lies in the field of stem cells ---special cells that allow lizards (蜥蜴) to grow new tails and humans to grow new skin over __49__cuts. If scientists can learn how to control these cells, they could be used to reproduce parts of the body that are __50__.41-50 JECIH BKFGD7闵行区Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Readers will be required to pay when they have exceeded (超过) a set number of its online articles per month.The decision puts the 159-year-old newspaper on the 44 side of an increasingly wide chasm (鸿沟) in the media industry.

But not every original solution is considered a creative one. If the idea is not fully applicable,it is not considered creative, but simply one which is ___43___.The researchers assumed that for a creative idea to be produced, the brain must ___44___ a number of different and perhaps even contradictory(矛盾的) networks. In the first part of the research, respondents were given half a minute to come up with a new, original and unexpected idea for the use of different objects. Answers provided with low frequency received a high score for originality, while those given ___45___ received a low score. In the second part, respondents were asked to give, within half a minute, their best characteristic ___46___ of the objects. During the tests, all subjects were scanned using an FMRI device to examine their brain activity while providing the answer.The researchers found ___47___brain activity in an ―associative‖ region a mong participants whose originality was high. This region, which includes the medial brain areas, mainly works in the background when a person is not concentrating, similar to daydreaming.But the researchers found that this region did not operate alone when an original answer was given. For the answer to be original, an additional region worked in cooperation with the associative region—the administrative control region, a more ―conservative‖ region related to social norms and rules. The researchers also found that the stronger the ___48___, the better these regions work together in parallel, the greater the level of originality of the answer.―On the one hand, there is surely a need for a region that produces innovative ideas, but on the other hand there is also the need for one that will know to ___49___ how applicable and reasonable these ideas are. The ability of the brain to operate these two regions in parallel is what results in creativity. It is possible that the most ___50___ creations of humanity were produced by people who had an especially strong connection between the two regions,‖ the researchers concluded.41—45. DEAGC 46—50.

Research in psychology seeks to understand and explain how we think, act and feel. As most people already realize, a large part of psychology is devoted to the 41 and treatment of mental health issues, but that‘s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to applications for psychology. In addition to mental health, psychology can be applied to a variety of issues that 42 health and daily life including performance enhancement, self-help, motivation, productivity, and much more.Psychology 43 out of both philosophy and biology. Discussions of these two subjects date as far back as the early Greek thinkers including Aristotle and Socrates. The word psyc hology comes from the Greek word psyche, literally meaning ―life‖ or ―breath.‖ The 44 of psychology as a separate and independent field of study truly came about when Wilhelm Wundt established the first experimental psychology lab in Leipzig, Germany in 1879. Wundt‘s work was 45on describing the structures that compose the mind. Wundt believed that properly trained individuals would be able to identify accurately the mental processes that 46feelings, sensations and thoughts.Throughout psychology‘s history, some different schools of thought have formed to explain human thought and behavior. These schools of thought often rise to 47 for a period. While these schools of thought are sometimes considered as competing forces, each viewpoint has 48 to our understanding of psychology.Today, psychologists prefer to use more objective scientific methods to understand, explain, and predict human behavior. The discipline has two major areas of focus: 49 psychologyand applied psychology. Educational psychology focuses on the study of different sub-topics within psychology including personality, social behavior, and human development. These psychologists 50 basic research that seeks to expand our theoretical knowledge while other researchers do applied research that attempts to solve everyday problems.41. E 42. J 43. H 44. G 45.

2016-年上海高考英语二模完形填空汇编+各区二模答案汇总

2016 年上海高考英语二模完形填空汇编Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle. “The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family can be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.” In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work gives women more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said. Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression. “Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environments,” Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research really speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employment and not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

They said that sunscreen creams may help cause skin cancer, the artificial indoor light could be __52_____ and that a range of drugs in common use could also ___53____ melanoma--a type of cancer that appears as a dark spot on the skin.The research is likely to be unwelcome in some traditional medical research circles. It is based on a new __54_____ that our bodies are protected from skin cancer by the regulation of a group of complex vitamins (Vitamin D) and immune process.The sunscreens, artificial light and drugs could all unfavorably affect the production of these vitamins and increase the skin’s __55_____ to the sun. But Dr. Laura said natural sunlight passing through the eyes helped __56_____ the production of cancer protection Vitamin D.He said recent statistics from the United States indicated that people who worked indoors all day in artificial light were more __57_____ melanomas than those who worked outdoors. Indoor workers should try to have at least one hour of __58_____ to direct sunlight every day, ___59_____ in the early morning and late afternoon when ultraviolet intensively was lower, Dr. Laura said.Sunscreens, long __60_____ as essential for beach lovers, could also __61______ the production of Vitamin D. Laura and Ashton said sunscreens give people a __62_____ sense of security in thinking they are __63______ from the sun’s rays.Dr. Laura said more statistics ___64_____ their claim had come to light since the first article was published.

The quality of a university, __51__, is in direct proportion to that of its library. At Harvard, the library is an essential part of everybody’s life. Both the quantity and the __52__ of the library make study a pleasant process.Harvard Library is not only the most ancient library in the United States, but the largest university library with the largest scale. In 1638 John Harvard __53__ his whole library to the then Harvard College. After 300 years of development, the library now holds 10 million books and __54__ more than 100 branch libraries. In addition to the libraries owned by each school, there are some branch libraries that are __55__ in some aspects. While most of the branch libraries are on Harvard campus, some are as far as in Washington, D.C., or even in Florence of Italy. Yenching Library is famous for its __56__ of East Asian literature. Lamont Library is thefirst library in the world that is __57__ for undergraduates. Widener Library is the largest library in Harvard, only second to Library of Congress.What __58__ to be mentioned is the system or rather the service of the libraries. Usually the libraries are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The main libraries are open until 10 p.m.. The libraries for undergraduates will even be open all night during the __59__ period. The libraries also provide with students the service of __60__ reading materials for all courses. At the beginning of a semester, each teacher will give a list of books to the librarians. The librarians are __61__ to find out these books and put them at the places where students can easily find them.There is no limitation for the number of books that students can borrow. As the space for the library is limited, many books are __62__ in suburban library. Despite this, students can go to fetch the book at the __63__ library within 24 hours after they submit request for that book. Even if there is only one book to be fetched from the suburban library, the libraries on campus will send someone to do the job. This kind of __64__ which put readers in the first place is rare even in Ivy League. Therefore, study at Harvard will be a(n) __65__ experience.51.A.as a result B. to some extent C. on the contrary D. at all timesB. disciplineC. qualityD. prospect53.A. donated B. assigned C. adapted D. distributedB. composesC. involvesD. includesB. differentC. secureD. peculiar56.A.collections B. documents C. phenomena D. exhibitionsB. formallyC. speciallyD. especiallyB. happensC. appearsD. deserves59.A.examination B. experiment C. vacation D. graduation60.A.confirming B. preparing C. selecting D. designingB. willingC. reluctantD. responsibleB. reservedC. storedD. classified63.A.appointed B. accepted C. expected D. restrictedB. serviceC. activityD. responseB. creativeC. positiveD. enjoyableEducation plays an extremely important role in our life and deeply impacts the society. However, how does society influence education?Before understanding the influence of society on education, we must __51__ society. Society is an extended social group having a distinctive cultural and economic organization. It is characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals. It is a group of individuals who __52__ a common system of customs, values and laws. From the definition of society, it is clear that we human beings are its building __53__. As we interact with people, try to understand their thinking styles and __54__ patterns, we soon realize that there is so much to learn from them. Society is the greatest __55__ of education. Don’t you think so?We cannot __56__ the impact of society on the education system alone. We need to understand the role of society in the __57__ development of an individual. Even before we become a part of the education system, we start learning from our surroundings. And during the process of formal education, we __58__ take ‘non-formal education’ from society. Yes, our interactions with our fellow-beings, our observations about their social behavior and our understanding of social norms __59__ us to face life. True, educational __60__, like schools, colleges and universities play a very important role in our education. But, we cannot ignore the fact that we learn some of the important lessons of life from society. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the __61__process of learning begins at a point, which marks the end of institutional education. Learning, as an individual, from your interaction with society, is a vital part of education.Society plays an important role in education and influences it, both positively and negatively. Social inequalities and unhealthy educational practices are some of the __62__ influences of society on our lives. Customs and traditions __63__ certain sections of society from exercising their fundamental rights and block the well-being of society, shatter the basic ideas of education and social awareness. Some social groups deny women’s right to education, while others force children to work, depriving(剥夺) them from a healthy environment, conducive to their growth and development. Education is one of the basic human rights. If social norms deprive certain strata(阶层) of society from progressing in life and come in the way of social welfare, it __64__ the purpose of education.Society is an entity that cannot be separated from us. It is we who __65__ the society. It is entirely in our hands whether to add value to our education or devalue it.51. A. know B. define C. recognize D. analyze52.

This is not so. While the risks of contracting the disease increase with age, there are many elderly people whose memories are perfect. Most of us are so ill-__51__ about all forms of memory loss that we label everything as “Alzheimer’s ”. Alzheimer’s disease itself can affect people as young as 30 and can progress either quickly or slowly. It can also __52__ the blame for other non-degenerative conditions such as deep depression. __53__, only an examination of the brain tissue during an autopsy (解剖) can produce an accurate __54__ of the disease.The causes of Alzheimer’s are unknown. They may be either __55__ or environmental. A study in 1996 of 13,000 people whose parents or siblings had the disease showed they had five times __56__ chance of passing away by the age of 80 than those with no family history of the problem.__57__, there are other factors. In a study of identical twins, it was found that only about half of the twin pairs developed Alzheimer’s and, when both twins __58__ it, they did so as much as 15 years apart. The possibility that environment plays a part was boosted by another 1996 study, this time of two groups of elderly Japanese men. One group lived in Hawaii, the other group in Japan. The Hawaiian group had a much higher incidence of the disease.Aluminum (铝) has been blamed for the development of Alzheimer’s. This is because a high level aluminum has been found in the brains of sufferers. The disease was first diagnosed at the beginning of the 20th century. It was at this time that aluminum was becoming widely __59__ for use in cooking pots.Memory loss, __60__ in performing familiar tasks, and problems with abstract thinking are all indicators of the beginning of the disease. One unusual feature is its impact on language. It attacks nouns first, then verbs. Grammar is one of the last things to go.Parkinson’s DiseaseParkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system w hich __61__ more than one million Americans. Individuals with PD lack the substance dopamine (多巴胺), which is __62__ for the central nervous system’s control of muscle activity. Parkinson’s Disease is often characterized by shake, inflexibility in limbs and joints, speech disability and difficulty in __63__ physical movement. Late in the course of the disease, some patients develop dementia (痴呆症) and eventually Alzheimer’s disease. __64__, some Alzheimer patients develop symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Medi cations such as levodopa (左多巴), which changes itself into dopamine once inside the brain, which prevents degeneration of dopamine-containing neurons (神经细胞), are used to improve diminished or __65__ motor symptoms in PD patients, but do not correct the mental changes that occur.51.

In the family, traditional cultural patterns award 51 on one or both of the parents. In other 52 , such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of53 . In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent 54 that the re is any category of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have 55 ; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has 56 that meet the needs of that particular group.Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, r esearch suggests that there are typically two different leadership 57 that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the 58 of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership t hat emphasizes the 59 wellb eing of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing 60 support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may 61 group members who prevent accomplishment of the group’s goals. Express ive leaders cultivate a more 62 or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer 63 when someone experiences difficulties. And they try to 64 issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal 65 from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.51.

But in the rich world, children can suffer from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit. 51 , one Western country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides ( 自杀) every year by children under 15, and one child 52 five needs psychiatric (心理) advice.There are many good things about 53 in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between 54 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 55 , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbours working 56 and often shares in that work.A child 57 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's work : helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies --- rather than through playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 58 playing with dolls.These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the westernchildren. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions ofthe sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 59 , are provided with a watch as one of the 60 signs of growing up, so that they can 61 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows.Third World children do not usually 62 to stay indoors, still less in highrise apartments(公寓) . Instead of dangerous roads, "keep off the grass" signs and "don't speak to strangers", there is often a sense of 63 to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them 64 from ten floors up.65 , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease.

What'sFeeling good about our actions — not guilt or pity— motivates giving, according to the latest research.51 seeing or hearing about suffering children makes most people uncomfortable, that grief is not what drives them to dig into their pockets and donate. The reasons people decide to be selfless, it turns out,may be slightly more 52 .In the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers found that people are more likely to give when they think it will make them feel better. They donate, 53 , when they feel hope about putting smiles on those expectant and suffering faces. And that hope, or similar feel-good sensations, are driven by the brain’s reward systems.Researchers — and charities — have long known that putting a(n) 54 face on an abstract problem opens hearts and wallets. Josef Stalin once said that while one death is a(n) 55 , a million is merely a number. Studies have since found that quantifying the size of a disaster or particular need actually 56 giving, while presenting a single story is more likely to cause a desire to help.But it wasn’t clear whether this “identifiable victim” effect resulted from people’s 57 over their own privilege and resources — or from a sense of connection with the 58 and an urge to feel good about making a difference.To find out, researchers led by Alexander Genevsky, a graduate student in psychology at Stanford, imaged the brains of 22 young adults. In the scanner, they saw either a silhouette (剪影) or a head shot of a young African child. As in previous studies, participants were far more likely to give if they saw a face than a blank silhouette—donating almost twice as much in photo trials than in the others. However, this decision was related strongly to their 59 . If they showed little activity in their nucleus accumbens—a brain region linked to every type of pleasurable experience— they were actually less likely to give.

If there is an unavoidable schedule change, prepare your child for it __60__.•__61__ good behavior.

Many children with autism are hypersensitive to light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Other children with autism are “under-sensitive” to sensory stimuli. __63__ what sights, sounds, smells and movements cause your kid’s “bad” or disruptive behaviors and what brings about a(n) __64__ response.If you understand what affects your child, you’ll be better at solving problems, preventing situations that cause difficulties, and creating __65__ experiences.51.

But detecting a clear link of the cycle to the weather has proved much ___43___ ."Our research notices a link between solar activities and regional winter climate," lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email.Her team focused on the data from the recent minimum solar radiation period during 2008-10, which was a(n) ___44___ calm period for the sun but at the same time, ___45___ winters in the U.S and Europe were recorded which brought troubles to many businesses and made people’s lives difficult.The researchers found that a reduction in radiation from the sun can affect wind patterns , ___46___ cold winters."While radiation levels won't tell us what the day-to-day weather will be, they provide the exciting ___47___of improved prediction for winter conditions for months and even years ahead. These predictions play an important role in long-term weather planning," Ineson said.Ineson's team used the data in a complex computer to ___48___ long-term weather patterns. It successfully reproduced what scientists had observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation. More study was needed, though. The key ___49___ in the experiment lay in the satellite data used, because it spans(跨度) only a few years. "So there are still questions concerning whether the current research results are accurate and whether they can be ___50___ to other solar cycles," she said.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.Recently, Pew Research Center announced that over a quarter of Americans have shared a selfie online. Unsurprisingly, the practice of photographing oneself and sharing that image via social media has ___51___ among all age groups. Evidence of its mainstream nature is seen in other aspects of our culture too. Last year, "selfie" was not only added to the Oxford English Dictionary, but also named Word of the Year.Yet, despite the huge number of people practicing it, ___52___ is also surrounding selfie. An assumption that sharing selfies is embarrassing runs throughout the journalistic and scholarly coverage on the topic. Negative words like "self-centered" and "___53___" have inevitably become a part of any conversation about selfies among scholars.But, over a quarter of all Americans are relying on it. Why? The usual reasons given by scholars—self-center and fame-seeking—seem too ___54___ to explain such a crowd acting. There is always more to a social cultural practice than what ___55___.Simply put, physical and digital technology make it possible. The idea that technology ___56___ the social world and our lives has been recognized by people. To some extent, world is shaped by technological revolutions. The selfie is not a(n) ___57___ form of expression. Artists have created self-portraits for centuries, from cave to oil paintings, to early photography and modern art. People are ___58___ their feelings and thoughts through certain media. What's original about today's selfie is its public popularity. Technological advancement ___59___ the self-portrait used to be restricted to the art world and gave it to the masses. Those digital front-facing cameras, social media platforms, and wireless communications conveniently available make selfie a job ___60___ any time anywhere.Besides, We are not ___61___ beings living by ourselves. We are social beings who live in social communities, and as such, our lives are fundamentally formed by social relations with other people. As photos meant to be ___62___, selfies are not individual acts; they are social gestures. Selfies, as well as our presence on social media generally, are a part of “identity work"--the work that we do on a daily basis to ___63___ that we are seen by others as we wish to be seen. In fact, the crafting and display of identity has long been understood as a social process. The selfies we take and show are to present a ___64___ image of us so as to become a part of our identity formation and ___65___.51. A. flowered B. returned C. imposed D. functioned52.

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 bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Jack looked up and saw in the distance red and green navigation lights coming towards them and knew it must be a naval patrol(巡逻) boat because of its speed. As the humming of the boat’s powerful engines drew closer, Jack bent down.Jack then let out a frightened cry as the brilliant beam of a searchlight broke the darkness and swept the fishing boat from head to tail. By its reflected light, Jack could clearly see the similar looks on the faces of other bent ones.Jack knew that if the patrol boat came close enough, its men would surely see the people hidden in the fishing boat. To collect himself, he leaned his head a little so that he could see Derek standing in the head of the boat, holding the tiller(舵柄). Derek managed to wave back at the patrol boat as if he had not a care in the world. How imperturbable he was!Someone on board the patrol boat switched on a loud speaker and a voice, made harsh and thin by its horn, demanded,” Where are you bound?”Derek shrugged and shouted back, “Tell me where the fish run and I’ll tell you where I am bound.”The noise of idling engines drowned his voice.“Say again!” barked the speaker.“Anywhere where there’s fish!” Derek shouted back. There was a pause. The boats drifted closer to each other.“Why aren’t you showing navigation lights?”Jack watched as Derek pretended to look puzzled and leant out over the side as if to see what they said were true. “They must have blown out,” he apologized with a shrug. “I’ll light them again as soon as you stop rocking me about like this.”Aboard the patrol boat, the captain was wondering if it would be worthwhile searching this old fishing boat for stowaways as how many breathing souls could such a shabby boat hide? The radio suddenly cackled. Abruptly, without another word being exchanged, the light went out and the patrol boat started its engines, speeding off into the dark, leaving the fishing boat floating about in the water.66. Jack let out a scared cry because he ______.A. saw something in the seaB. was afraid of being discoveredC. was blinded by the bright lightsD. was scared by the faces of companions.67. The patrol boat captain did not search the fishing boat as he ______.A. didn’t find it worthwhileB. looked down upon the shabby old fishing boatC. trusted Derek very much.D. was called to another place via the radio68. The underlined word “imperturbable” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A. anxiousB. nervousC. calmD. sociable69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Derek didn’t realize that Jack and others hid in the fishing boat.B. The captain was suspicious of what Derek told him.C. The patrol boat approached the fishing boat to inspect illegal goods.D. Derek succeeded in covering up for the Jack and others on the boat.(B)You may read the questions first：Our booklet is bringing to you the world’s top sceneries:GrenadaKnown as the Island of Spice for its abundance of spicy plants and leaves,Grenada is one of the southernmost Windward Islands in the Caribbean Sea.Many of its spices have been destroyed by hurricanes in the last decade,though its spicy relics(遗迹) are still the inspirations of many master chefsworldwide. The central mountainous land’s cooler air and waterfalls producea near-constant cloud cover of freeze.Tucson, ArizonaA seeming paradise that claims to have 350 sunny days a year, Tucson boastsgeological beauty and hiking so fantastic that visitors can be tempted into afalse sense of security. Be warned: Get prepared for the heat as it isn’t unusualfor temperatures to rise higher than 110ºF (43ºC) in summer months, whenthe rocks can hold that heat well into the evening hours. Even your huntingdog will get sunburnedSouthern BelizeWith flash rainstorms that instantly fill the dirt roads and the wet that makes itone of the greenest places on Earth, this Maya wonderland is home to thelongest barrier reef(堡礁) in the Western globe, the unique uropygialis birdsand the deepest diving—the Blue Hole. Nonetheless it is the back roads of theToledo district, where rain forest meets the jungle, that truly inspire awe andjoy.Newfoundland, CanadaThis Canadian province, which sits at the eastern edge of North America,plays the home for 22 whale species and dozens of seabirds that play ingroups. While the capital city of St. John’s can be quite gentle, the actualisland of Newfoundland has more extreme and unpredictable weather moods.Don’t forget to bring your windbreakers and thick sweaters.GrimseyThis island across the Arctic Circle is the northernmost point of inhabitablespace in Iceland. It is a small, rocky island with little vegetation, only a fewhundred permanent residents, and cliffs teeming with arctic birds known aspuffins, which seem insensitive to the local extreme chill as they dive-bombfrom high on the rocks into the Arctic Ocean for food.Cuenca, SpainUniquely known as the walled city because of its “hanging houses” atop (oractually part of) walls carved out of a rocky hillside in the 15th century,Cuenca’s castle-like front sits above the Jucar River Valley, attracting visitorsworldwide. The houses, which bake in the high summer temperatures, arenow home to an abstract art museum reached by crossing a woodenpedestrian swinging bridge.70. The two places of interest that enjoy high temperatures are ______.A. Tucson and NewfoundlandB. Grenada and GrimseyC. Newfoudnland and CuencaD. Tucson and Cuenca71. The creature(s) mentioned in the booklet that is not afraid of cold weather is ______.A. uropygialis birdsB. whales and seabirdsC. puffin birds.D. hunting dog72.

The most impressive focus of attraction in Southern Belize is the Blue Hole.D. People’s safety in Tucson can’t be guaranteed by the local government.(C)Trade has a pretty bad name in some quarters. Trade robs poor people of a proper living, and keeps them trapped in poverty. There is a widely held popular view that trade is unfair.Though many claim that a freer trade would change the current indecent reputation of world market, the cure-all free trade is the dream of most textbook economists. In fact, "Free trade" has been usedsuccessfully by powerful countries to land their mass-produced goods on fresh overseas dumping grounds and squeeze out local household businesses and craftsmanship.At home the story is different. Large firms have little appetite for free trade and competition in their own backyard. They prefer to enjoy the advantages and protections for which they have carefully earned. Free thus fierce competition has little appeal for those who understand that they will make more profit if they can corner the market, whether at home or abroad.By contrast, making trade fairer is about addressing both outcomes and processes of trade. Fairness is not just moral request. It affects behaviour. Actually the concept of fairness increases steadily as societies achieve greater market uprightness: Businessmen from upright societies are willing to punish those who do not play fair, even if this is costly to themselves.Fairer trade rather than freer trade could partly mend mal-administering of resources in certain areas. Though thought of as evil economic policies in the west world, carefully planned special preferences and protectionism could be used intelligently to help to block the economic robbery of the rich class in African countries, and to improve the lives of the bottom billion.Fairness is also important in the control of trade. The current International trade negotiations have resulted in rules favouring the powerful. The rules are made in negotiations in which the countries in control call the shots, and do not always do so in good faith. Industrialized countries were often found to have obtained definite and far-reaching commitments from developing countries, in exchange for vague promises, such as to liberalise agriculture, which they have not kept. On the other hand, the essence of the fair trade lies in the promise that every party benefit from the business, rich or poor, powerful or weak.Making trade fairer is important to avoid a further public hate against trade. It is also important so as better to balance trade goals with other important national goals such as environmental and social protection. Finally, the so-called free trade system needs to be made fairer so that it does not block competition, and crush innovation and business spirit. It needs to offer a more level playing field to commercial newcomers and competitors in rich and poor countries alike.74. Free trade is a concept at rich countries’ service to ______.A. open up new markets abroadB. define trade in the economic textbooksC. dump pollutants in poor countriesD. learn the skills from local household businesses.75. The key mechanism of fair trade is ______.A. punishing the rich countries when they cheat the poor countriesB. making sure that rich countries provide more chances for poor countriesC. promoting special preferences and protectionism in poor areasD. guaranteeing the common interests of all the dealers76. The underlined word “mal-administering” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A. macro-managementB. overall collectionC. uneven distributionD. negative mining77. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Large firms earn huge profits from free trade on domestic markets.B. Honest dealers would sacrifice their own interest to discipline the dishonest.C. Special preferences and protectionism are occasionally adopted in western countries.D. A fairer trade helps to ease competition between the rich and the poor.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Few would argue that there has not been significant technological progress in the field of self-driving cars in recent years. Aside from the technology question, the legislative issue gives the world a worse headache. The content of the trouble centres on the question of who is to blame in a crash. The legal field tends to have the owners take responsibility for the messes their cold lifeless machine makes, for which case an explosion of lawsuits are well expected.Today, many of the car manufacturers and their suppliers are researching self-driving technology, but it is unclear why they would want to roll it out quickly. A consumer in America, for example, uses his or her car for approximately one hour per day. There is, therefore, a large amount of "free capacity" in the personal vehicle use market. Imagine a world where you can be driven to work, and where your car can then turn around and drive home so that your partner or anybody else can use it during the day. This shared use pattern could certainly stop the need to own a second car. Taken to its logical conclusion, it could even be the biggest reason to eliminate the need to own a car at all. The effects on car sales volumes could be destructive.The possible violation of privacy is also a big issue on the map. We all know that consumer data is big business. A self-driving car would easily log where you visited, the time of the day you went, and much more. Though your purchase preferences might escape secret peeping, the leakage of your whereabouts seems inevitable as it’s hard to do what you are always doing to your smartphone toward the sole tool of transportation. Power off the big steel fellow and you are stuck on the road. The now excitedly expecting public are sure to be annoyed soon.Much discussed, the poor application of the technology outweighs the previous factors. In car industry, new vehicle features take a long time to get to broad market mass. Features are typically launched first on high-end vehicles, and then trickle down once there is sufficient space in the market to generate the scale affordable for the volume vehicles. With a car model's life cycle being between five and seven years, it is hard to see self-driving technology being fitted as standards of the mass-market brands.We still have a long way off from a world of completely self-driving cars.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. The likelihood to take the car owners as the guilty party in traffic accidents will give rise to _________.79. What feature of the self-driving car would mainly affect car sales?80. How can we prevent our personal data from being monitored by the self-driving car?81. The most serious problem facing the self-driving car is ____________.II卷（共47分）I.

Mott Children’s Hospital, who led the study, one of the most__43__ mistakes was to buy a mattress cover to protect against dust mites(尘螨)for a child whose asthma instead was made even worse by plant pollen. Many of those parents then __44__ to do what would have helped a lot more: shut the windows to keep pollen out. Another was using a humidifier for a child who was allergic（过敏）to dust mites; a humidifier__45__ to be a place where dust mites like to __46__.

Foremost among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and__55__ the distinction between representation and expression.

Two __56__ theoretical positions have taken on this issue: one holds that art and its appreciation are a means to some recognized moral good, __57__ the other maintains that art is intrinsically(固有的) valuable and is an end in itself. Underlying this whole issue is the concept of taste, one of the basic concerns of aesthetics. In recent years there has also been an increasing preoccupation with art as the prime object of critical judgment.

However, with the fast development of mobile phones, it has lost its placein people’s everyday life. In order to save their loved red phone boxes, peoplehave thought up many ideas, for example, to turn them into toilets or art houses.In a village in Somerset, a place in South West England, villagers have founda novel way to save their red phone box. They turned it into a mini library to copewith the shortage of libraries in their area. The idea was given by a local villager,Janet Fisher, who lives opposite the phone box. Villagers rallied together to set upthe book box after their mobile library service was cancelled. Over 100 books anda variety of movies and music CDs are available at this tiny library. The books areof different kinds, ranging from cooking books to the classics and children’sbooks.People can put the books that they have read inside the phone box, and take away the books that they’d like to read. The books are always changing. There is a regular check on the books to keep the phone box collection fresh.Anyone is free to come to read books there. The phone box library is open every day around the clock and is lit at night. “It’s very pleasing that the red phone box has been saved. More importantly, it can continue providinga service for us,” said one of the villagers.65. The red phone box has been a symbol of ______.A. the European architectureB. the British cultureC. the development of technologyD. British people’s daily life66. The underlined word “novel” in paragraph 2 means ______.A. separateB. traditionalC. ridiculousD. new67. People in Somerset turned the red phone box into a mini library to ______.A. keep its original functionB. make up for the lack of library serviceC. provide a place to exchange ideasD. to enlarge the collection of the local library68. Which of the following statements is true about the red phone box?A. The library is open to the public only at night.B. The library was set up by a local villager living opposite a phone box.C. People can borrow books and other audio-visual products there.D. Regular check is made to keep the books in good order.A. 1 T-shirt and 1 souvenirB. 4 T-shirts and 1 souvenirC. 1 T-shirt and 4 souvenirsD. 4 T-shirts and 4 souvenirs70. A family team which does not complete any task at the activity stations but has completed the hunt at 11.30a.m. will ______.A. not be entitled to any prizeB. be awarded a mystery giftC. be awarded the consolation prizeD. not receive the T-shirts71. The main purpose of the hunt is to ______.A. get people to spend time with familyB. attract people to win cash and prizesC. encourage people to appreciate natureD. promote Wiedken & Kennedy Advertising( C )Contrary to many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily certain to achieve academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people.One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can encourage a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades, when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. If the academic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students may not get the encouragement they need, further depressing their desire to learn. They may fall far behind in their schoolwork and even develop behavior problems.IQ is just one element among many in the recipe for success—Children develop well or struggle in school for a host of reason apart from IQ. These include motivation（积极性）and persistence, social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends.Because highly gifted children solve the most varied thought problems faster and more thoroughly than those with more average talents do, they need additional intellectual stimulation while they wait for the rest of the kids to learn the basics. Two central approaches are used to satisfy the educational needs of such children: acceleration and enrichment. Acceleration means studying material that is part of the standard subjects for older students. Enrichment involves learning information that falls outside the usual subjects.A child might skip one or more grades as a way of accelerating in school. But being with older children for the entire school day—and perhaps for grade-based extracurricular activities such as sports—can make a child feel inferior in every realm outside of academics. One very bright fourth-grader who had skipped two grades remained far ahead of his classmates intellectually, but as his classmates reached puberty（青春期）, his social and other shortcomings became painfully apparent. While acceleration is not an option, or not a good one, enrichment can be. After all, school is not a race but an adventure in learning. As such, the goal is not finishing first but absorbing as much knowledge as possible in the time assigned. Thus, providing opportunities for a child to study topics outside the regular subjects can be at least as valuable as pushing him or her through the required materialfaster.72. What is the basic reason for the low academic achievement of highly intelligent children?A. Teachers’ failure to recognize their potential.B. Too much emphasis on being intelligent.C. Studying topics outside the regular subjects.D. Lack of encouragement from teachers.73. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to enrichment activities for talented children?A. Skipping one of more grades and studying together with older children.B. Learning the same material in the standard subjects for older students.C. Learning information that is not included in the regular subjects.D. Learning how to read with fluency even in their pre-school days.74. Which of the following statements do you think is true about the writer?A. He is in favor of enrichment rather than acceleration.B. He is in favor of acceleration rather than enrichment.C. He speaks highly of both enrichment and acceleration.D. He thinks neither enrichment nor acceleration is a good choice.75. In this article, the writer intends to ______.A. point out the weaknesses of acceleration for gifted childrenB. compare acceleration with enrichment for gifted childrenC. stress the importance of enrichment for gifted childrenD. discuss how to bring out gifted children’s potentialSection C76.Sibling conflict is as old as Cain and Abel, as legendary as Cinderella and her stepsisters and can be as deadly as the daughters of King Lear. Parents should know the battles are inevitable and must prepare their kids to defuse potentially ugly situations. And there will be times wh en parents must come to a child’s defense and say, “We are family, and we will not say anything that doesn’t build up one another. We will respect each other.” Use following tips for encouraging kindness in the home:77.Do not allow your children to insult one another. Words are extremely powerful, and snide comments can damage deeply. Experts say every negative comment needs at least five positive remarks to even out. Teach your children to be kind and to appreciate each other. Encourage your kids to see each other’s talents. Through recognizing these unique strengths, they will be able to work together well.78.Sibling rivalry usually originates from a child feeling that the other sibling is loved more, and in some cases when parents are being substantively unfair or show favoritism toward one child, this indeed may be the problem. In Genesis, we see the damage done by Jacob’s favoritism of Joseph. Remember that all children are created equal, but not all children are the same. Recognize and prais e each child’s individual skills, strengths and accomplishments without implying that one child is somehow better. Be sure each child receives adequate parental interest and quality time.79.Do not deny your child’s feelings, but help him learn to expr ess emotions in an appropriate way. If you see your child acting jealously, encourage him to identify the emotion by saying, “I understand that you feel bad because…” or “I know you hurt because…” Helping your children figure out the causes of their action s will help them learn how to deal with problems in the future.80.Most parents realize children imitate what they see, so look at the example you set. Do you compete with your siblings? Or do you consistently show kindness to your brothers and sisters? By checking your actions, you can be better prepared to show your children how to emerge the best of friends following the inevitability of a little sibling conflict.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity. Different explanations are offered for America’s weight problem—a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been urged to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. And many have. Yet now comes a study showing an increase in the number of injuries in “phys ed”class. Injuries increased one hundred fifty percent between nineteen ninety-seven and two thousand seven.The study involved injuries treated in hospital emergency departments. Only two percent were serious.The researchers did not try to identify the causes of the increase, but they have some theories.Lara McKenzie from Ohio State University was the lead researcher. She says one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. For example, a two thousand four study showed that the number of school nurses nationally failed to meet federal guidelines. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditiona l idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson. She is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education.Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson also points to one of the study’s findings — that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)81.How do many schools deal with the problem that more children are overweight?__________________________________________________________________________82.What’s the result of expanding the kinds of sports taught in school?__________________________________________________________________________83.P.E. teachers without special training are more likely to _____________________________.84.After reading the passage, please give at least two suggestions to an American school on how to reduceinjuries in "phys ed" classes.__________________________________________________________________________第II卷（共45分）I.

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.(B)The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter. In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century.In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United Statesand in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (资产)(such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw materials before export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance.This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations (种植园), rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable(可通航的) streams and each had a wharf(码头) accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway.When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from farms. Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War (1861-1865).69. The word ―they‖ in the 1st paragraph refers to ________.A. North American coloniesB. citiesC. centuriesD. town economies70. During colonial times, the Atlantic coastline cities prepared ________ for shipment toEurope.A. manufacturing equipmentB. capital goodsC. consumer goodsD. raw materials71. The growth of southern cities was influenced by the following aspects of the plantationsystem EXCEPT ________.A.the relationships between plantation residents and city residentsB. the access of plantation owners to shippingC. the location of the plantationsD. the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations72. In the 3rd paragraph, the phrase ―antagonistic to‖is closest in meaning to ________.A. opposed toB. in favor ofC. based onD. tied to73. What is the passage mainly about?A. Factors that slowed the growth of cities in Europe.B. Trade between North American and European cities.C. The evolution of cities in North America.D. The effects of the United Sates’ independence on urban growth in New England.Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.

I put a small set ofTinkertoys in front of each student, and said:” Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today -and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of themodel plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. Hisconstructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. Iwas delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mindat work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whosecreativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing thosestudents who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare,”not creative.”“ Doyou dream at night when you?re asleep?”“ Oh, sure.”“ So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“ Nobody. I do it.”“ Really-at night, when you?re asleep?”Sure.“ Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25.

It’s obvious that their deeds con tradict their words. Whether conscious or unconscious, these people will surely fail to see a good environment.Unfortunately, the phenomenon is not alone in our society. For example, when we require others to observe traffic rules, we ourselves rend to violate them, in which case we can hardly see a fast-flowing traffic and will frequently get trapped in the traffic.In my opinion, we should match deeds with words. Only in this way can we achieve our goals. （150个词）。

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.A driving goal for most websites is for that site to be easily found by people looking for the products or services. One of the ways people may find these sitesis via a search engine. With this in mind, companies obviously want their websites to ___51___ search engines as well.First of all, website content should be unique and timely. Only quality content ensures that customers will ___52___ your website and also recommend it to friends via links or through social channels. This act of sharing not only gives your site more chances of public ___53___ but it also helps to push up your search engine rankings, which extends huge psychological implication to other engine users as people tend to ___54___Now famous search engines such as Google use mobile friendliness as a ranking signal in their ranking algorithm(算法). Therefore, if your site is not ___55___for mobile devices, you are offering a less than ideal experience to some users and in result search engines will take the ___56___ into account.Another key ranking signal that Google and other search engines ___57___heavily is page speed and overall site performance. If your site is loaded with too many high-resolution images and videos or other elements, muchviewing time will be caused. These will makesluggish, slow loading that frustrate and often drive away visitors. It’s time to ___58___ thepage size as all the visitors appreciatefaster download. Some are even willing to___59___better visual experiences for high viewing speed. As user preference stands on top of any search engine’s list of priority, search engines will look very ___60___upon the speed improvements of the websites.In addition, for a hot website, appropriate update frequency is also vital. Although the content is current and up to date when it is first launched, it will soon lose its ___61___with the explosion of other various online resources. If the content on your websites has appeared on other sites before, your website is sooner or later to be deserted because of humans’nature of having a low ___62___threshold(门槛). In turn, your website’s search ___63___ will drop drastically.Finally, don’t look down on customer experience. Too often people ignore the benefits of creating a viewing experience that is enjoyable.When assessingyour website’s user friendliness, understand that ___64___ of use comes first, but do not discount the benefits of adding a bit of ___65___ into that experience as well.51.

A. humour B. satisfaction C. delight D. sympathySection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It seems to me that all writers, including those brilliant ones, need encouragement particularly in their early years. I always knew I could write, but that just meant I wrote a little better than my peers. I hope that I might one day write well enough to derive income from my efforts. Oddly enough, this never occurred to me until I met a special teacher in life.There was a kind teacher at Hyde Park High School in Chicago, who simply by concentrating her attention on me, made me believe that I might be able to master the knack of writing well enough to consider the craft as a profession. Miss Marguerite Byme taught English, which of course, involved writing skills. Whatever instruction she shared with me was exactly the same as all her other students enjoyed, but the only difference was she encouraged me to begin the process of submittingthings I was writing, in those days, chiefly poems.To my surprise the Chicago Tribune not only thought enough of several of my verses to publish them, but also paid me-inadvertently-the highest compliment a fledgling author can receive. The editor wrote a confidential letter to Miss Byme, asking her to see, if by any chance, one of her students-a certain Stephen Allen-might be guilty of copying. The editor’s suspicions had been aroused because, he was kind enough to say, he found it hard to believe that a seventeen-year –old could create material on such a professional level. When Miss Byme shared the letter with me, I was overjoyed! It was wonderfully heartening.Miss Byme made me realize that I should not hide my light. This made me collect my courage to enter a writing contest. The assignment was to write an essay titled “rediscovering America.” I was literally astonished when I received a letter saying thatI was the winner of the contest. The prize was a thousand dollars. My mother, at the time, was not even aware that I was interested in writing, or if she had somehow found out about it, she took little notice. When I arrived home that evening with the letter, she was indifferent and did not ask how the evening had gone.Without encouragement, even talented students will continue to perform below expectations. For example, at the same high school, there was a teacher whose Spanish language classes I attended but from whom I, unfortunately learned very little simply because of the woman’s cold sarcastically critical attitude. She seemed to know nothing about nurturing students. Soon, I withdrew from her classroom literacy instruction.Years later, I was able to repay my debt to Marguerite Byme by dedicating one of my books, Wry on the Rocks-A collection of Poems, to her. I have enjoyed a lifetime writing books and television scripts because of her urge.66. Miss Byme treated me differently from other students in that ______.A. she encouraged the author to try to earn money from writingB. she gave the author private instructions on writing skillsC. she advised the author to contribute his writing worksD. she taught the author the knack of writing as a profession67. The editor wrote a letter to Miss Byme because ______.A. he regretted overpaying the authorB. he had doubts about the author’s writing abilitiesC. he wanted to inform her of the author’s talentD. he wanted to befriend a future star writer68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The author had set the goal of writing professionally since childhood.B. The share of the editor’s letter made the author ashamed of his behavior.C. The author won the writing contest which made his mother proud of himD. The author quitted Spanish course because of the teacher’s negative attitude.69. The author is writing the passage mainly to tell readers that ______.A. writing skills should be cultivated since high school yearsB. it’s easy for a writer like him to make a living by writingC. parents should take kid’s interests and talents seriouslyD. development of skills and abilities require adequate encouragement(B)Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed opposed to ordinary zoos? Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals.? We are revealing for you:1. Right whales, Bay of Fundy, CanadaNorthern right whales are on the brink of extinction, but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer (May through October) to feed east of Grand Manan Island. They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin, which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.Planning: Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands, such as Brier Island, St. Andrews, Grand Manan Island, and Deer Island.2. Grizzly bears, AlaskaGrizzlies like salmon. In mid-July and again in mid-August, grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws. The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools, sometimes fighting for the best sites. Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, and Fish Creek, near Hyder, have viewing platforms.Planning: Most fishing sites are accessed by chartered light aircraft and a hike. Hyder is off the Stewart-Cassiar Highway.3. Monarch butterflies, Sierra Chincua, MexicoEach fall, millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyamel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range, in the state of Michoacán. They flock intimately on tree trunks, bushes, and on the ground, fully showing their gregarious nature and occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighboring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.Planning: Chincua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.4. Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, IndonesiaLanding on Komodo, you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, as park maps reported, “Here be dragons!”This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world’s largest living lizard—the Komodo dragon. Weighing79 to 91 kg, the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body. You can hike toa viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards, some of which are more than 10 ft (3 m) long.Planning: Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima (on eastern Sumbawa) or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).5. Wildebeest migration, Serengeti, TanzaniaUndoubtedly the world’s most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains. The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass. Along the way, lions and hyenas stalk them, and crocodiles lie in wait.Planning: The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July, and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.70. In which place can a variety of types of animals be viewed?A. Alaska.B. Sierra ChincuaC. Komodo IslandD. Serengeti71. The underlined word gregarious i s closest in meaning to ______.A. being able to climb.B. preferring group livingC. migrating in huge numbersD. moderate in temper72. Which of thefollowing statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.B. Viewing spots for grizzly bears can be reached through air and on foot.C. Komodo dragons are similar to dinosaurs in living period.D. Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.73. The target readers of the passage are probably ______.A. adventurous visitors longing for closer look at animalsB. mountain hikers who seek unique hiking trailsC. experienced hunters who are aimed at rare animalsD. average zoo visitors looking for animal contact at safe distance(C)Genetic testing offers people insight into the types of diseases they are mostlikely to develop — but a new study suggests most people do not alter their lifestyles based on this information. These tests — known as genome sequencing —analyze a person's DNA, telling patients about their known risk for diseases like cancer or diabetes. But being told you’re at a higher risk for lung cancer doesn’t seem to motivate anyone to quit smoking or alcohol, this study suggests. Because of this, the scholars argue that genetic testing should be banned as a tool for improving people's health.Today’s finding came from pulling data from 18 other studies that followed people after they received the results of genetic tests. Receiving information about genetic risks didn’t inspire people to eat differently, exercise more, or stop smoking, "Expectations have been high that giving people information about their genetic risk will empower them to change their behavior, but we have found no evidence that this is the case," study author Theresa Marteau, director of behavior and health research said in a press release.Genetic testing, which the National Institutes of Health says costs anywhere from $100 to $2,000, has become much more accessible as commercial testing companies such as 23andMe and Sure Genomics have sprung up. These companies are not allowed to share disease risk estimates with consumers thanks to the Food and Drug Administration. However, today’s study didn’t specify whether the genetic testing were purely from academic sequencing, or if any of these companies had had a role in supplying the data.Genetic testing doesn’t get people to change their behavior for the better, but it doesn't have any known negative effects either. Knowing the results of these tests didn't change people's depression or anxiety levels. And there's no indication that testing inspires people to pick up risky or dangerous health habits either, the study found.Actually a genetic predisposition to a certain disease is common among people. Some people are born weak in heart. Some are innately vulnerable in digestive system. But these most common risk factors usually don't raise a person's chances of getting the disease by a significant amount. It's possible that some of the patients in the study had substantially high disease risks based on their DNA profile, but those patients tend to be rather rare. "It’s still likely that communicating this type of information is very valuable to some people, but it’s just that there aren’t that many of those people," Zikmund-Fisher from the University of Michigan said. "The idea that providing genetic risk information is going to be transformative to everyone seems unlikely."74. Why did some experts suggest stopping genetic testing?A. Genome sequencing aren’t accurate in detecting certain disease risks.B. Genetic testing results fail to encouragepeople to remove bad habits.C. Genetic testing does neither good nor harm to people’s behaviorial improvement.D. Genetic testing results are offered by commercial testing companies.75. The underlined word predisposition to in the passage is closest in meaning to_____.A. testing onB. prediction aboutC. sensitivity toD. insight into76. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Theresa Marteau believes genetic testing helps to change people’s behaviors.B. Sure Genomics is forbidden to deliver illness risk expectations to patients.C. Genetic testing results are totally coming from academic sequencing.D. Genetic testing results in a way worsen the patients’ moods and emotions.77. It’s said that people’s unconcerned response to genetic testing doesn’t cause much harm because ______.A. getting rid of bad life habits doesn’t do much good to people’s healthB. almost all people have certain disease risks based on genetic testingC. providing genetic risk information interferes with the medical treatmentD. genetic testing shows few people are at a high risk of getting certain diseasesSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When California lawmakers voted this month to raise the legal age to buy cigarettes from 18 to 21, they joined Hawaii and other areas in seeking a way in age change to prevent vulnerable teenagers from getting hooked. And now other avenuesof unlawful teen cigarettes obtaining are also drying up: vending machines are vanishing, and online sales to minors are decreasing.The respected Institute of Medicine projected that if the legal age were raisedto 21, by the time today’s teenagers became adults smoking prevalence would be cutby 12%. The greatest impact, the IOM found, would likely be among teens 15 to 17.Given the current fruits the campaign against teen-smoking has yielded, campaigners still have more reasons to try to cut further years into youth smoking, though in vain for now. Adolescents are more prone to addiction than adults because parts of the brain most responsible for decision-making, impulse control and susceptibility to peer pressure are still developing. As for the health effects, the rise for smoking-related illness though in part with the number of cigarettes smoked per day, is mainly associated with the number of years a person smokes.The most persistent argument against raising the age is that at 18, people havethe right to marry, to vote and to serve in the military, which means the age is normally considered the threshold for maturity. Therefore, they are able to decide for their own whether to smoke. But society does set 21 as the age for another dangerous activity, drinking alcohol — a change that has prevented about 900 drunken driving deaths per year. Smoking is the public's business, too.In Finland, daily smoking dropped significantly among 14- to 16-year-olds after the legal age was raised from 16 to 18 and enforcement was bolstered. There's no comparable research in the United States, which is precisely the point. Given the tobacco industry's success in getting young people hooked, teenagers deserve to find out whether the U.S. has been missing a powerful tool to save their lives.Some people warn that parents and public health advocates shouldn’t get their hopes too high. Teenage behavior is unpredictable and resourceful; many teens use fake IDs to buy alcohol and it’s likely they would do the same for tobacco. But unless more states follow the suit of California and Hawaii, the ultimate value of the age raise can't be obvious, can it? So take action now.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78. Underage teenagers can get cigarettes illegally from ______.79. What primarily causes the increase of cigarette-related diseases?80. The reason given by people to keep the age of 18 as legal smoking age is that ______.81. According to the author, what would show clearly the benefits of raising smoking age?II卷（共47分）I.
