And in recent years, the city has moved6 its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks7 to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard.

2015年上海英语高考真题完形填空及参考答案精校版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.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s indivi duality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. beneficial53.

I reached in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had 1 their search. I found 2 and because of my shaking hands, I could 3 get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked 4 the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I 5 out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. 6 he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I 7 .I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was 8 , perhaps it was because, when you get very, one to another, it is very 9 not to smile. In that instant, it was 10 a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but 11 , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I 12 smiling at him, now aware of him as a(n) 13 and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new 14 too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the 15 of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. 16 without another word, he 17 my cell (牢房) and silently led me out.Out of the jail,quietly and by back routes,out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.“My life was 18 by a smile.” Yes, the smile—the unaffected, unplanned, 19 connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could 20 each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.1. A. lost B. given C. escaped D. reached2.

Every day, she would 1 five of the young Navajo students to go to the chalkboard and complete a simple math problem from 2 homework.They would stand there, silently, 3 to complete the task. Mary couldn’t figure it out. 4 she had studied in her educational curriculum helped, and she 5 hadn’t seen anything like it in her student-teaching days back in Phoenix.What am I doing wrong?

What’s this about? ” “I’ve sold your novels 5 one and a half million dollars.” I sat down in 6 . I had written fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been 7 by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been 8 , but not me. Each time, I just 9 writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do, but I refused to 10 up. Seeing this book 11 was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's a mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller 12 two weeks after publication! I got my first lesson in story 13 from my grandmother. She used to read my stories. She was the one who gave me a 14 of words. She sparked (激发) my 15 and she has been a 16 influence on me.

Many people were 9 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 10 I would risk everything for a dream.I made my 11 to start my own company and leave my secure position after 12 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a 13 that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a 15 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that 16 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was 17 .Having made that decision, I was immediately 18 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no 19 .

From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard P. Franklin existed in his own world, 1 himself from his classmates and me, his teacher. My attempts at 2 up a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I came to know that Willard was 3 a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to 4 his barrier of silence.Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the 5 Christmas collection of money for the less 6 people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who 7 not have a happy holiday season. By 8 our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these 9 people. We’ll start the collection tomorrow.”When I 10 the donation the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had 11 except Willard P. Franklin. The boy dug deep into his pockets as he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he 12 two quarters into the small container.“I don’t need any milk for lunch,” he said in a low voice. For a moment, just a moment, he 13 . Then he turned and walked back to his desk.That night, after school, I took our small contributions to the school principal. I couldn’t help sharing the 14 that had taken place.“I may be wrong, 15 I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.“Yes, I believe it sounds 16 ,” he nodded. “And I have a hunch(直觉) we might do well to have him 17 a bit of his world with us. I just 18 a list of the poor families in our school who most need help 19 the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.” I discovered Willard P.

He told his employer of his plans to 1 the house-building business to live a more 2 life with his wife and 3 his extended family. He would miss the paycheck(工资)each week, but he wanted to retire. They could 4 .The employer was 5 to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 6 over time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used bad workmanship and 7 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 8 a dedicated(献身的)career.When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to 9 the house. Then he handed the front-door 10 to the carpenter and said, “This is your house... my 11 to you.”The carpenter was shocked!What a 12 ! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.13 it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting 14 than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we 15 we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.But, you cannot 16 . You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or build a wall. Someone 17 said, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your 18 , and the choices you 19 today, help build the “house” you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build 20 !1.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”Based on their f indings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronaryartery bypass surgery.1. From the passage we know that_______.A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operationB. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxaneC. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwardsD. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane2. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _________.A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxaneB. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attackC. different ways turn out to be the same resultD. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass3. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _______.A. stop taking aspirin before the surgeryB. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgeryC. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgeryD. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation4. What does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mean?A. to become larger or better than normalB. to make something happen more slowly than normalC. to cause to be nervous or embarrassedD. to improve something in poor condition【参考答案】1—4、ADCB。
