上海复旦附中自主招生英语试题(3)1.A.increasinglyB.loweringmonD.solutionsE.individuallyF. callingG.dependent H.shortcomings I.consumption J.introduced K.sensesA United Nations panel on climate change says global warming is causing extreme weather all over the world and is__41__on governments to come up with new ideas to curb gas emissions. Since much of the air pollution comes from coal-fired power plants,scientists in Denmark are trying to lower their nation’s energy needs with new types of smart streetlights.Our__42__industrialized world needs huge amounts of electrical energy,but our power plants still rely mostly on technology__43__as early as the19th century—coal—powered plants, hydroelectric dams or somewhat never nuclear energy,all of which have their own__44__.But scientists say we can slow down global warming by__45__energy demands for street lights.These__46__features of the world’s urban areas require a lot of electricity.The U.S.Energy Information Administration estimates that in2012,lighting for buildings, streets and highways in the ed about274billion kilowatt hours.In a bid to make Copenhagen the world’s first carbon-neutral city by2025,scientists in the Danish capital are testing a variety of new street lighting technologies.Kim Brostrom is the chief technical officer at the Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab.“We have installed nine kilometers of streets,we have280masts placed here,we have50 different__47__,we have10different management systems,and we have a lot of different sensors and things out in the open area,”said Brostrom.Chief science officer Jakob Andersen says the lights can be managed__48__from a tablet computer or a smart phone.The main goal is to lower energy__49__when the light is not needed.So the lamp brightens up only when it__50__an approaching pedestrian,cyclist or vehicle.Some of them even have a backup wind generator or a solar cell.2.Diet Coke,diet Pepsi,diet pills,on-fat diet,vegetable diet…We are__51__by the word “diet”everywhere we look and listen.We have so easily been attracted by the promise and__52__ of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us.We are paying for products that__53__us psychologically and physically(身体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically.On one level,we are not allowing our brain to__54__that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight,but in controlling the__55__of fatty,high-calorie,unhealthy foods.Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead.All we have to do is to swallow or__56__ the word“diet”in food labels.On another level,diet products have greater psychological effects.Every time we have azero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our__57__that we don’t have to work to get results.Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain,and that life can be without resistance a(n)__58__.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us,but also in the physical harm that they cause.Diet foods can__59__harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having__60__ nutrients(营养成分).Diet foods and diet pills__61__zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products.Diet products may not be__62__,and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us,it is time to__63__think about buying them.Losing weight lies in the power of minds,not in the power of chemicals. __64__we realize this,we will be much better able to resist diet products,and__65__prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.51.

Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up,he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention,then another passed by,and another.Finally,the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said,“Sir,would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”Stopping his horse,the rider replied,“Sure!Jump aboard.”Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground,the horseman got down to help him.The horseman took him not just across the river,but to his destination just a few miles away.As they approached the tiny but cozy cottage,the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire,“Sir,I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride.Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride.I am curious why,on such a bitter night,you would wait and ask the last rider.What if I had refused and left you here?”The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied,“I reckon I know people pretty good.I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride.But when I looked into your eyes,your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply.“I’m so grateful for what you have said,”he told the old man.“May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”With that,Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.66.Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride?A.Because he was waiting for the last rider.B.Because his efforts failed to get their attention.C.Because he assumed they had no concern for him.D.Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body.67.What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man?A.The old man’s poor situation.B.The old man’s warm comments.C.His own affairs.D.Kindness and sympathy.68.What do you know about the old man?A.He judged people by looking into their eyes.B.He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away.C.He gave the last rider an opportunity to help.D.He recognized the president at first.69.Which can be the best title of this text?A.Look into your eyes.passion of a great man.C.The last rider to help.D.Return to the White House.4.International Book ClubHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new books through the post?Here at the International Book Club,we already have many members buying books from us by mail.

only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them.How did this great injustice occur?After1812white settlers began to move west across North America.At first,the settlers and the Indians lived in peace.However,the number of settlers increased greatly every year,and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival.To feed themselves,the settlers killed more and more wild animals.The Indians,who depended on these animals for food,had to struggle against starvation.The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society,but which were new for the Indians.Great numbers of Indians became sick and died.Between1843and1854the Indian population in one area of the country went down from100,000to30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers.In Washington,the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared.The old promises to the Indians were broken;the government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other poorer parts of the country.Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment.They began to attack white settlers,and the Indian war began.For30years,until the late1880s,different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man.They had a few famous successes,but the result of the struggle was never in doubt.There were too many white soldiers,and they were too powerful.Many Indians were killed;the survivors were moved from their homelands to different area of the country.It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.74.It can be inferred from the passage that______.A.in the U.S.there were many laws that provided the rights of American IndiansB.the law which was passed in1789by the ernment was not successfully carried outC.in the19th century no injustices were done against the Indians by the ernmentD.the majority of white settlers were openly opposed to the law passed in178975.According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?A.The Indians believed that killing too many wild animals had disturbed the balance of nature.B.The government began to have a better understanding of the Indians in the fifties of the 19th century.C.Between1843and1854about70,000Indians were killed in the battle.D.The whites carried serious diseases into where the Indians lived.76.It is implied in the passage that______.A.the Indians had many great successes in the Indians warsB.the Indians had no doubt that they would win the warsC.after the war the Indians stayed where they were beforeD.the Indians were too weak to win the struggle77.What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U.S. government?A.He believed that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B.He believed that the government can’t be criticized for its treatment to the Indians.C.He believed that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D.He believed that the government’s unfair treatment against the Indians was not on purpose.6.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题),although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science,technology,engineering,maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training,but also asserts that the study of the humanities(人文学科)and social sciences must remain central components of America’s educational system at all levels.Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society,become innovative(创新的)leaders,and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under these circumstances,it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most“practical”way out of the problem“Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some,though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as“soft”often,in fact,lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed,according to surveys,employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well,think critically,research creatively,and communicate easily.Moreover,students should be prepared not just for their first job,but for their4th and5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science,arts,and technology—to solve the problems of the future,and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78.The latest congressional report suggests that________________________________.79.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?80.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?81.What suggestions does the author give to college students?7.In order to study enzymes(酶),a small piece of potato is cut into very thin pieces.These thin pieces are placed in a little glass container and covered with water.Then a little of the proper chemical is added.Immediately,because of the enzyme present in the potato,the chemical starts joining with the oxygen in the air above the water.If the container is entirely closed,a partial vacuum(真空)is framed inside.If the container is now connected with a fine tube which is dipped in water,the water is sucked part way up the tube because of the vacuum.The scientists doing the experiment carefully notice how far up the tube is when water is sucked in a certain time.The higher it is sucked,the more of that particular enzyme and evenabout the way in which it operates.And all the time we are working with amounts far too small to see or weigh.1.What do the scientists want to find out in the experiment?a.Whether enzyme is present in the potato.b.What particular enzyme there is in the potato.c.How much enzyme there is in the potato.d.How enzyme works in the potato.A.a and bB.c

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(Ａ)A Conversation between Mr. Wordy and Mr. TerseT:Don’t you think we should express ourselves in English better and use words more economically?W: Yes. It is an unrealistic illusion to separate such principles from language ; they should be united as one.T:Well, you should practice what you think is right. Why didn’t you just leave out the word “unrealistic”? You can’t have a “realistic illusion”, can you? And you should have left out “as one”. You can’t be united “as two”. To unite means to become one. You’re always making that sort of mistake.W:That’s a groundless fabrication (捏造).T: There you go again. A fabrication is a statement with no foundation. If it’s not groundless, it’s not a fabrication.W:I really don’t see the important significance of all these criticisms of yours.T:Well, you certainly can’t see the “unimportant significance” of them. If a thing’s significant it’s important, and if it’s important it’s significant. What’s the point of saying “ important significance”? It’s about the same as “important importance”.W:If you could just stop interrupting me all the time I’d tell you about the meeting I’ve just been to.T: Please do.W: Well, the speaker just came to our country not long ago.T: Naturally.W: What do you mean naturally?T: If he just came it was not long ago.W: As I was just saying when I was so rudely interrupted: the speaker arrived here after a long journey of 5,000 miles.T:He couldn’t very well have made a “short journey of 5,000 miles”, could he? Unless he was a spaceman.W: The hall was packed full and the audience shouted slogans loudly.T:It couldn’t be “packed empty”, could it? And they couldn’t “shout quietly”.W: He said that the imperialists had been bullying his people arbitrarily (专横地).T:You wouldn’t expect them “to bully with reason and restraint”.W: But they have been openly exposed.T:They could hardly be “exposed secretly”.W: The people hate the imperialists very much.T:You can’t “hate anyone slightly”.W: And the people’s resistance movement has powerful strength.T:I never heard of “powerless strength”.W: And the imperialists will share the same fate as all reactionaries.T:They couldn’t “share a different fate”.W:I suppose they couldn’t. I’m beginning to understand your idea about being economical in the use of words. I shall try to master it well.T: Good. But first let me point out that you can’t master anything badly”.56.Mr. Wordy likes to use ________ while Mr. Terse ________.A. long words, likes to use short wordsB. too many words, hates thatC. big words, uses small wordsD. complex words, important expressions57. Mr. Terse ________ Mr Wordy by saying “There you go again”.A. hurtB. stoppedC. warnedD. advised58. Which of the following statements is NOT TURE?A. To a spaceman, 5,000 miles is a short distance.B. Mr. Terse believes one can speak English better if he speaks economically.C. It is meaningless to add “important” to “significance”.D. Mr. Terse interrupted Mr. Wordy purposefully.56---58 BCD(B)Becoming a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students. Here are some great scholarships and grant opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of becoming a teacher.Straightforward Teacher ProgramThis is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards becoming teachers. The foundation offers their scholarships every three months as opposed to each year. During each payment, four students receive a $2,000 scholarship.Prezell Robinson Scholarship ProgramWhile this scholarship is available only to students in the state of North Carolina, it is so incredibly helpful that many students choose to study in the state for the only purpose of receiving it. It is offered to college students who come from low-income families that are interested in pursuing a long term career in education at any level.New York State Scholarship ProgramOfficials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their community through their ability to teach. The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level.Also, because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York, the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation.Coca-Cola ScholarshipsYou may have many opportunities for grants and scholarships through The Coca Cola Foundation.

The current debate over Social Security provides one of the most compelling examples in modern history of the pitfalls of poll-driven political strategy.Yesterday two leading Democratic strategists publicly took their party to task for their"just say no" approach to the new President's program. "To say there is no problem simply puts Democrats out of the conversation for the great majority of the country that want political leaders to secure this very important retirement program," they warned, "V oters are looking for reform, change, and new ideas, but Democrats seem stuck in concrete."Stuck, indeed. To be more exact, they are holding their ground and refusing to surrender to a president who is once again manufacturing a "crisis" for a political purpose. And why should they do otherwise, when this strategy is clearly working?Let's start with the facts. According to the new President, Social Security can pay all promised benefits for the next 37 years without any changes at all. Even if nothing were done by 2043, the program would still pay a higher real benefit than what people receive today.And even looking into the future of the 75-year planning period, the shortfall is less than what we fixed in the '50s, '60s, and '80s. In other words, Social Security is financially stronger today than it has been throughout most of its history.So this attack on Social Security has nothing to do with the solvency (偿付能力) of the program. Nonetheless last week, a Quinnipiac University poll found that respondents, by a 49 to 42 percent margin, believed that Social Security would not be able to pay them a benefit when they retire. But this is a ridiculous idea, based completely on misinformation. It is even more far fetched（牵强的）than the notion, which also commanded a majority before the invasion of Iraq, that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the massacre of 9/11.In the case of Social Security, there is no dispute about the facts. There are just a few cheap verbal and accounting tricks that have been used to convince the public that Social Security faces serious problems. These are easily refuted.The same Quinnipiac poll showed that 59 percent of Americans disapprove of the way the president is handling Social Security, with only 28 percent approving. It makes no political sense to pretend that this attack on our nation's most successful and popular government program is actually an attempt to insure its solvency. Even in politics, there are times when honesty is the best policy.63. What can we know about the Democrats, according to the author?A. they want to help secure the retirement program.B. they refuse to admit that the Social Security program has been successful.C. they are making efforts to solve the crisis of the Social Security program.D. they organize polls in order to gain political interests.64. The author raised the example of Saddam Hussein in order to show that ________.A. the invasion of Iraq represented the wills of common people.B. no evidence had come up to prove the relationship between Saddam Hussein and themassacre of 9/11.C. sometimes the public without proper information will draw foolish conclusions.D. it was wrong for the government to rely on the public for important political decisions.65. According to the author, which of the following is correct?A. There is no point in worrying about the solvency of the Social Security program.B. The majority of the public will accept the Social Security program in the near future.C. Only the baby boomers should worry about the future days when they grow old.D.The Democrats attack the Social Security program in order to question its solvency.66. By saying "honesty is the best policy", the author seems to disapprove of _______.A. the Quinnipiac University who organized the poll.B. the present administration who initiated the Social Security program.C. the ill-informed public who worried about their future.D. those Democrats who wanted to gain political interests through this incident.63---66BCADSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.“My work is done.” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman. He included them in his suicide note. They mark an ignoble end to a noble life, the leave taking of a truly great man. The same words could now be said for the company he left behind. Actually, the Eastman Kodak Company is through. It has been mismanaged financially, technologically and competitively. _____67_____ One of America’s bedrock brands is about to disappear, the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died, and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed. Though the ends be needless and premature, they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before. Few companies have done so much good for so many people, or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world. _____68_____Kodak served mankind through entertainment, science, national defense and the stockpiling of family memories. Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility. It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne, and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks. _____69_____ When that sailor kissed the nurse, and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba, Kodak was the eyes of a nation. From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley, Kodak took us there. Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to generation from the Eastman Kodak Company. _____70_____ Yes, there were photographers, and for relatively large sums of money theywould take unnatural pictures in studios and formal settings. But most people couldn’t afford photographs, and so all they had to remember distant loved ones, or earlier times of their lives, was memory. Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people, grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like. Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection, to the permanence of a photograph. But it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events, the precious times that families cherish. The Kodak moment, was humanity’s moment.67---70 DFACPossible versionSample 1:Despite the advanced life we have, several problems still bother us. Land, noise, air and water pollution is threatening our health; population explosion causes resource exploitation, starvation and diseases; atomic bomb threatens human civilization; worsening relationships and values lead to isola tion and loneliness. The earth being the only home to us and future generations, it’s urgent to solve those problems. (60 words)IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.In the new century, human beings will be filled with hope and live a more advanced life. However, man will also have to face some problems that will rob human beings of their existence.First of all, pollution of all forms such as land pollution, noise pollution, air pollution and water pollution are worsening with each passing day. People complain all over the world it is becoming harder to breathe and water is turning undrinkable. Also forests are being felled at a very fast rate. The pollutions are getting so terrible that in some countries we can’t find clean rivers and white clouds in the sky!Additionally, the explosion of population in some parts of the world is showing its terrible results. Human beings will have over used the earth’s resources, and people will run a high risk of starvation and diseases resulting from overcrowding. In the end, man would be forced out of the earth if the present trend were not reversed.What’s more, in the pa st century we had many disastrous wars. But there is still potential that the atomic bomb will be used by some politicians in order to keep regional hegemony. If it should happen, the exp1osion could easily lead to the destruction of civilization.More seriously, the depersonalization of human relationships and the weakening of spiritual values are worsening due to the stress caused by the busy schedules and the extreme pursuit of money. This will further contribute to man’s isolation and loneliness.Apparently, with all these problems facing human beings, it seems to be overwhelmingly urgent to conquer them one by one because we have only one earth and it is our home. In the new century, we must try our best to heal the world and make it a better place for you, for me and for the children who will come to this world.(312 WORDS)Sample 2:Although our life will be promising in the future, it is still threatened by some problems, such as various pollutions, exploded population, potential wars, and the worsening of human relations, which may lead to bad living environment, starvation and diseases, regional inequality, loneliness and even the damage of human civilization. For our future generations, we must conquer them all. (59 words)第II卷（共40分）I.

But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion，a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family. Although they are not human beings(人类), their behavior sometimes is better than human beings, for they are always loyal to their owners. There are always many stories about brave and smart pets. We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets.

上海市复旦大学附属中学2018-2019学年高一上学期第一单元测试英语试卷注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解you are not alone. We’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.Liars also use deflection. For example, if you ask a liar the question “Did you steal Fatima’s bag?” they may answer with something like “Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?” In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their lie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies be ing woven; silence gives no feedback on whether or not you’ve bought the story. If you’re a good listener, you’ll already be avoiding interruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often.1.According to the passage, a person could be lying he or she ________.A. offers more information than necessaryB. appears to be shy or nervousC. the subject of the conversationD. speaks very fast and vaguely2.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.B. We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.C. Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.D. We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.3.The passage mainly talks about ________.A. who deceives usB. why people tell liesC. how to detect liesD. what to do with liarsA person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable.A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snowcapped mountain itself is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of (better quality) edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.4.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive5.According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ________.A. dye your hairB. wear makeup at a young ageC. follow the aging processD. give up fame and wealth6.The underlined part refers to the way of ________.A. dyeing one’s black hair whiteB. keeping in harmony with natureC. packaging oneself skillfullyD. packaging oneself to hide the traces of aging7.The passage implies that elderly people are attractive because ________.A. they are usually packaged like a finely-made bookB. they experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeC. they are unique in natural qualitiesD. they enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairyland二、完形填空________ they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes ________ until one of the men crashes ________ a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! ________he isn’t really dead. With ________ luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even ________ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they ________ tricks. There are two ________ to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to ________ cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they break windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depend on trick of this sort, it also requires a high ________ o f skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful ________. For example, when he is “________up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed A Norwegian stuntman, ________, skied over the________ of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.

He had dark hair, which was cut quite short, and a tiny moustache—so tiny in fact that Bruno wondered why he bothered with it at all or whether he had simply forgotten a piece when he was shaving.

She had blonde hair and very red lips, and while the Fury spoke to Mother she 50., making him go red with embarrassment.“And these are my children, Fury,” said Father as Gretel and Bruno stepped forward. “Gretel and Bruno.”“And which is which?” the Fury said, which made everyone laugh except for Bruno, who thought it was perfectly obvious which was which and hardly cause for joke.

Using such sophisticated new tools 40 the five-item Life Satisfaction Scale and the seven-point Delighted-terrible Scale (On a scale of one to seven, how do you feel about your life?), social psychologists have plumbed the heart of happiness. And their answer to the age-old 41 is that it all depends.Happiness, that is, 42 what makes you feel happy, which is why psychologists often call it “subjective well-being.” But from43 studies of various age and population groups in the United States and abroad, they have reached some 44 at the top of the charts is not, as many might expect, success, youth, good looks or any of those 45 assets.

She ran across the picturesque to the shores of Cayuga Lake, where she jumped into the water.So did many of her fellow seniors. But dozens of students decided to stay away, especially the relatively few newly arrived male students.Wells College, which since 1868 had educated only women, began accepting men this year in hopes of bolstering its dwindling enrollment. For many students and alumnae, it was a crushing decision. After the college announced last October that it would go coeducational, about half of the students protested and two filed a lawsuit, which they later dropped.The students —33 men and 383 women – campus late month Both sexes are now trying to navigate new social landscape. Mr. Phillips said “You can’t do guy stuff. Every time you want to sit and watch sports or a game, it turns into a movie.” The women were “some what nasty.” I could see the dirty looks in their eyes,” he said. “But I was not going to let that stop me from coming.”Wells was a place where women did not have to fuss over their appearance or47. worstA. mostB. bestC. least 48.

Besides jumping into the lake, the women dance around the maypole each May and kiss the feet of the statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, before exams.Ms. Alexander said, “People told us we wouldn’t notice a difference, but from the moment men arrived on campus not could notice a difference. Waking up early to put on makeup, and that’s odd,” she said.Henry Wells, a founder of Wells Fargo and a friend of Cornell’s benefactor, Ezra Cornell established this college, when women were not considered capable of higher learning. “Give her the opportunity,” he wrote.Henry Wells, a founder of Wells Fargo and a friend of Cornell’s benefactor, Ezra Cornell established this college, when were not considered capable of higher learning. “Give her the opportunity,” he wrote.The great-great-great-great granddaughter of Henry Wells, Stephanie Redmond, 18, of Washington State, said that earlier this year a Wells student had tracked her down and asked her to support the protest. But Ms. Redmond said the move the move to admit men had encouraged her to enroll at Wells this year as a freshman. She plans on a career in engineering, a male-dominated field, and said attending an all-women’s college might have put her at a disadvantage.49.The primary reason for the Wells College to accept men is that .A.its enrollment rate is declineB.the campus is lack of vigor and vitalityC.it will face the destiny of being closed downD.all-women’s college might put a woman at a disadvantage50. A typical behavior for seniors to do is that .A.they jog along the picturesque campusB.they switch sports programs to a movieC.they celebrate their year by jumping into a lakeD.they swim in Cayuga Lake accompanied by friends51.The change after turning into a coed college is that .A.dirty looks in women’s eyes have disappearedB.women get up early to make upC.women are waking up early to studyD.women dance with men around the maypole52.The attitude of the author is that .A.she hares a tradition of all-women schoolsB.she calls on women in support the protestC.she dislikes the change and hopes to file a lawsuitD.she objectively describes the new and uneasy coeducation53.Which of the following statements is Not true?A.The enrollment of male students caused controversy,B.The grandchildren of the college founder benefited most.C.The current president of the college was also its graduate.D.The founder hoped to give women opportunities of higher education.But what is teacher quality? How can one measure it reliably?An analysis is issued a sample of data a Texas school district. Experts argue convincingly that teacher effectiveness should be measured by students’ gains on standardized tests: Mr. Smith is presumably a better teacher than Ms. Brown if his students consistently improve their test scores more than hers do.Though this approach is appealing, there are tricky issues. For example, what if Ms. Brown teaches in a school where students score so high there is little room for improvement?The authors try to correct for this problem, as well as other sorts of measurement issues, to generate a measurement of teacher effectiveness. The paper is primarily concerned with how this measure is related to other observable teacher characteristics.The first finding is that is a large variation in teacher effectiveness: some teachers consistently have a larger impact on their students’ achievement than others.Second, easily observable characteristics like having a master’s degree or a passing score on the teacher certification exam are not correlated with teacher effectiveness.Then what does matter? The most important single influence is experience: first-year teachers are much less effective than others. The second year is significantly better, and by the fourth year, most teachers hit their stride.It is not entirely clear whether this experience effect is learning by doing (the more you teach, the more effective you become) or survival of the fittest (those who are not good at teaching tend to drop out early).From my reading of the paper, both effects appear important and there is no simple answer. The data do suggest, however, that teacher effectiveness is pretty clear by the end of the second year, so the information to make an informed decision is available at that time.The authors also investigate the contentious issue of racial matching of students and teachers. Here they find strong evidence that minority teachers tend to be more effective with minority students. Again, it is unclear whether this is because of a role model effect (students respond better of their own race) or an empathy effect (teachers empathize better with students of their own race) or something else entirely.The authors also look at teacher mobility. There is some evidence that teachers who quit teaching or switch schools tend to be below average in effectiveness. This is consistent with the survival-of-the-fittest model.54.The schoolmaster could decide wisely whether to further employ the teacher by the end of the .A. the first yearB. the second yearC. the third yearD. the fourth year55.The phrase “hit their stride” most probably means “”.A. reach their normal levelB. become confident1.A. increasinglyF.callingG.dependent senses B. lowering C. common D. solutions E. individually H. shortcomings I. consumption J. introduced K.C. walk with long stepsD. get bored56.The author of this passage holds the view that _ .A.teachers will perform better with time passingB.ineffective teachers should leave earlier rather than laterC.teacher’s effectiveness is apparent after a couple of yearsD.a master’s degree will improve teacher’s effectiveness57.Why do black teachers tend to be more effective with black students?A.Students feel secure, so they respond better.B.Teachers sympathize with students of their own race.C.There are entirely some other identified reasons.D.The reasons are far from clear and definite.58.Which of the following may serve as the best title?A.Tenure, Turnover and the Quality of TeachingB.Impact of Teacher Quality on Student LearningC.Different Sorts of Measurement IssuesD.Survival-of-the-fittest Model vs. Learning-by-doing Model上海复旦附中自主招生英语试题(2)ACBDCBACDA上海复旦附中自主招生英语试题(3)A United Nations panel on climate change says global warming is causing extreme weather all over the world and is 41 on governments to come up with new ideas to curb gas emissions. Since much of the air pollution comes from coal-fired power plants, scientists in Denmark are trying to lower their nation’s energy needs with new types of smart streetlights.Our 42 industrialized world needs huge amounts of electrical energy, but our power plants still rely mostly on technology 43 as early as the 19th century—coal—powered plants, hydroelectric dams or somewhat never nuclear energy, all of which have their own 44 .But scientists say we can slow down global warming by 45 energy demands for street lights.These 46 features of the world’s urban areas require a lot of electricity.The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2012, lighting for buildings, streets and highways in the U.S. used about 274 billion kilowatt hours.In a bid to make Copenhagen the world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025,scientists in the Danish capital are testing a variety of new street lighting technologies.Kim Brostrom is the chief technical officer at the Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab.“We have installed nine kilometers of streets, we have 280 masts placed here, we have 50 different 47 , we have 10 different management systems, and we have alot of different sensors and things out in the open area,” said Brostrom.Chief science officer Jakob Andersen says the lights can be managed 48 from a tablet computer or a smart phone.The main goal is to lower energy 49 when the light is not needed. So the lamp brightens up only when it 50 an approaching pedestrian, cyclist or vehicle. Some of them even have a backup wind generator or a solar cell.2.Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, on-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are 51 by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted bythe promise and 52 of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that 53 us psychologically and physically(身体上).Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to 54 that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the 55 of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale( 秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or 56__ the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our 57 that we do n’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance a(n) 58 .The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can 59 harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having 60 nutrients( 营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills 61 zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be 62 , and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to63 think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. 64 we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and 65 prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.51.

The old man’s beard was glazed by winter’s frost while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became numb and stiff from the frigid north wind.It was long before he heard the faint, steady rhythm of hooves (马蹄) along the frozen path. Anxiously watching several horsemen coming up, he let the first one pass by without any effort to get his attention, then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider drew near where the old man sat like a snow statue when old man caught his eyes and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”Stopping his horse, the rider replied, “Sure! Jump aboard.” Seeing the old man unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down to help him. The horseman took him not just across the river, but to his destination just a few miles away.As they approached the tiny but c ozy cottage, the horseman’s curiosity caused him to inquire, “Sir, I noticed you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had refused and left you here?”The old man looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, “I reckon I know people pretty good. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately found no concern for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”Those heart-warming comments touched the horseman deeply. “I’m so grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.”With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.66.Why didn’t the old man ask the previous riders for a ride?A.Because he was waiting for the last rider.B.Because his efforts failed to get their attention.C.Because he assumed they had no concern for him.D.Because he was too numb to lift his half-frozen body.67.What caused the last rider to stop and help the old man?A. The old man’s poor situation.B. The old man’s warm comments.C. His own affairs.D. Kindness and sympathy.68.What do you know about the old man?A. He judged people by looking into their eyes.B. He lived in a cozy cottage a few miles away.C. He gave the last rider an opportunity to help.D. He recognized the president at first.69.Which can be the best title of this text?A. Look into your eyes.B. Compassion of a great man.C. The last rider to help.D. Return to the White House.4.International Book ClubHave you ever thought of joining a book club and buying new books through the post?

One hundred years later, however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the government began to move groups of Indians from theiroriginal homelands to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian war began. For 30 years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different area of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.74.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.in the U.S. there were many laws that provided the rights of American IndiansB.the law which was passed in 1789 by the U.S. government was not successfully carried outC.in the 19th century no injustices were done against the Indians by the U.S. governmentD.the majority of white settlers were openly opposed to the law passed in 178975.According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?A.The Indians believed that killing too many wild animals had disturbed the balance of nature.B.The government began to have a better understanding of the Indians in the fifties of the 19th century.C.Between 1843 and 1854 about 70,000 Indians were killed in the battle.D.The whites carried serious diseases into where the Indians lived.76.It is implied in the passage that .A.the Indians had many great successes in the Indians warsB.the Indians had no doubt that they would win the warsC.after the war the Indians stayed where they were beforeD.the Indians were too weak to win the struggle77.What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U.S. government?A.He believed that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B.He believed that the government can’t be criticized for its treatment to the Indians.C.He believed that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D.He believed that the government’s unfair treatment against the Indians was not on purpose.6.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities(人文学科)and socialsciences must remain central components of America’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative(创新的)leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78.The latest congressional report suggests that.79.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?80.What kind of job applicants do employers look for?81.What suggestions does the author give to college students?7.In order to study enzymes(酶), a small piece of potato is cut into very thin pieces. These thin pieces are placed in a little glass container and covered with water. Then a little of the proper chemical is added. Immediately, because of the enzyme present in the potato, the chemical starts joining with the oxygen in the air above the water. If the container is entirely closed, a partial vacuum(真空)is framed inside. If the container is now connected with a fine tube which is dipped in water, the water is sucked part way up the tube because of the vacuum.The scientists doing the experiment carefully notice how far up the tube is when water is sucked in a certain time. The higher it is sucked, the more of that particular enzyme and even about the way in which it operates. And all the time we are working with amounts far too small to see or weigh.1.What do the scientists want to find out in the experiment?。

Reading ComprehensionSection A 15%Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep 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. The 53 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 individu ality. 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 seems 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.

A. familiar B. plain C. positive D. insultingSection B 20%Directions: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)Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and "what were seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure orjust getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't. That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.66. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ____________ .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have67. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.68. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.A. show students the inspiring lives of historic figuresB. make the world a better place for teachers and studentsC. provide teachers with some useful materials and informationD. help students know that ordinary people can change the world70. What’s the chief purpose of the magazine Ultimate Spiderman?A. To encourage kids to learn about facts of interesting real-life spiders.B. To activate kids to become everyday heroes in real life.C. To tell interesting tidbits about the creation and evolution of Spider-Man.D. To solve a challenging “Spider-Cycle” maze and uncover a mystery cl ue.71.

Teacher’s Guide includes students’ disc ussions, activities and reproducible.D. Ultimate Mysterious X encourages students to uncover the treasure of ideas.(C)While still catching up to men in some sphere of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men,” according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychologist at New York's Veteran’s Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress. “It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well. It's just that they have so much more to cope with,” says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's,” she observes, “It's just that they're dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner.”Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic of repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, patents of other family members, and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that occurs from these longer relationships can be quite devastating.”Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape to go to school, and get ahead and do better.” Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother: “It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses, Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.63. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?A. Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.B. Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.C. Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.D. Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.64. Dr. Yehuda's research suggests that women_____________________.A. need extra doses of chemicals to handle stress.B. have limited capacity for tolerating stress.C. are more capable of avoiding stress.D. are exposed to more stress.65. According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to beA. domestic and temporary.B. irregular and violent.C. durable and frequent.D. trivial and random.66.

since1868had educated only women,began accepting men this year in hopes of bolstering its dwindling enrollment.For many students and alumnae,it was a crushing decision.After the college announced last October that it would go coeducational,about half of the students protested and two filed a lawsuit,which they later dropped.The students—33men and383women–campus late month Both sexes are now trying

dirty looks in their eyes,”he said.“But I was not going to let that stop me from coming.”Wells was a place where women did not have to fuss over their appearance or fight to be taken seriously by their professors.They could enjoy the camaraderie of their campus sisters and their playful traditions.Besides jumping into the lake,the women dance around the maypole each May and kiss the feet of

measure it reliably?An analysis is issued a sample of data a Texas school district.Experts argue convincingly that teacher effectiveness should be measured by students’gains on standardized tests:Mr.Smith is presumably a better teacher than Ms.Brown if his students consistently improve their test scores more than hers do.Though this approach is appealing,there are tricky issues.For example,what if Ms.Brown teaches in a school where students score so high there is little room for improvement?The authors try to correct for this problem,as well as other sorts of measurement issues,to generate a measurement of teacher effectiveness.The paper is primarily concerned with how this measure is related to other observable teacher characteristics.The first finding is that is a large variation in teacher effectiveness:some teachers consistently have a larger impact on their students’achievement than others.Second,easily observable characteristics like having a master’s degree or a passing score on the teacher certification exam are not correlated with teacher effectiveness.Then what does matter?The most important single influence is experience: first-year teachers are much less effective than others.The second year is significantly better,and by the fourth year,most teachers hit their stride.It is not entirely clear whether this experience effect is learning by doing (the more you teach,the more effective you become)or survival of the fittest(those who are not good at teaching tend to drop out early).From my reading of the paper,both effects appear important and there is no simple answer.The data do suggest,however,that teacher effectiveness is pretty clear by the end of the second year,so the information to make an informed decision is available at that time.The authors also investigate the contentious issue of racial matching of students and teachers.Here they find strong evidence that minority teachers tend to be more effective with minority students.Again,it is unclear whether this is because of a role model effect(students respond better of their own race)or anempathy effect(teachers empathize better with students of their own race)or something else entirely.The authors also look at teacher mobility.There is some evidence that teachers who quit teaching or switch schools tend to be below average in effectiveness.This is consistent with the survival-of-the-fittest model.54.The schoolmaster could decide wisely whether to further employ the teacher by the end of the.A.the first yearB.the second yearC.the third yearD.the fourth

perform better with time passingB.ineffective teachers should leave earlier rather than laterC.teacher’s effectiveness is apparent after a couple of yearsD.a master’s degree will improve teacher’s effectiveness57.Why do black teachers tend to be more effective with black students?A.Students feel secure,so they respond better.B.Teachers sympathize with students of their own race.C.There are entirely some other identified reasons.D.The reasons are far from clear and definite.58.Which of the following may serve as the best title?A.Tenure,Turnover and the Quality of TeachingB.Impact of
