The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?" "Yes, Sir." the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?" "No, no, Sir." the farmer said in a hurry. "When did you see the dead man?" "About seven last evening." "Did you see who killed the man?" "No, Sir." The officer brought out a knife and asked, "Have you seen it yet?" "No, sir." The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and sent him into prison.That evening the officer went on trying. Pointing to the knife, he asked again, "Have you seen it yet?"

He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck.

The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．9．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．10．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?A．Books on popular science． B. Literary books．C．The year book of a university． D.

It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power”was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker ‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.12. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine13. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine14. James Watt was born in _____.A. a worker’s familyB. a farmer’s familyC. a teacher’s familyD. a doctor’s15.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.This invention, commonly used in offices and households throughout the world, came about as a result of a series of accidents. In 1968 Spencer Silver, who was working for a company called 3M at the time, was trying to produce super-strong adhesive, a substance making things sticky together, to be used in the building of planes. This, however, wasn’t successful and instead he succeeded in creating an extremely weak adhesive that was 31 to pressure. This new adhesive had two advantages: it could be removed from surfaces quite easily and it could be reused. In spite of these two 32 features, nobody could see any practical use for it. In the end, the invention was 33 .A few years later, Art Fry, a product development engineer working for 3M, decided to use this adhesive for 34 use. He stuck strips of paper in a book as page marker and a whole new concept was born. However, the idea still w asn’t without35 . The challenge was to make the glue stay on the sticky note itself, rather than peeling off and staying on the surface it was 36 to. Two more 3M employees were brought in and set the task of producing a coat ing for the adhesive so that it wouldn’t come off and they 37 just that. Unfortunately, 3M bosses still believed that this invention wasn’t going to be 38 successful and people would continue to use crap paper(小纸条) for their notes rather than sticky notes. This is why sticky notes were only tested within the company, where they became extremely popular. It wasn’t until many years later that 3M bosses finally decided to give out a vast amount of free 39 to other companies to see if anyone would be interested in buying them. To their surprise, 90 per cent of the companies approached went on to order more sticky notes. This went beyond anybody’s 40 . Nowadays, sticky notes come in a variety of shapes and colours and are sold in more than 100 countries.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.About five years ago, when the first generation of wearable fitness trackers became popular,they were announced as the dawn of a revolution. Health experts and busniesspeople alike said that giving people access to real-time calorie (卡路里)- burning and step-count data would inspire them to lose weight, eat better and -most important- ____41____ more. But even as the U.S. market for ___42____ devices hits $7 billion this year, there’s evidence that their promise isn’t quite paying off.The U.S. has an exercise problem, with 28% of Americans ages 50 and over considered wholly ___43____. That means 31 million adults move no more than is necessary to perform the most basic functions of daily life. Wearables, experts ___44___, were going to change that.But limited academic research has been done to figure out whether wearables ____45____ people’s behavior in the long term. The little research that does exist isn’t ____46____. For a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers wanted to see whether activity trackers would help overweight people lose more weight over two years than if they just did a weight-loss intervention(干预) alone. They didn’t. “We found that just giving people a device doesn’t mean it’s going to ____47____ something you think it’s going to lead to,” says John Jakicic, the author of the study, from the University of Pittsburgh. “These activity trackers don’t engage people in strategies that make a ___48___ in terms of long-term change”Another new study highlighted a different challenge: user ____49___. By the end of a yearlong study of 800 people, just 10% of participants were still wearing the trackers, according to, Eric Finkelstein, a professor at the Duke- NUS Medical School in Singap ore. “We didn’t find that Fitbits really have much of an effect,” he says. This may well be because people expect trackers to do something they’re not designed to do-- ____50____, force them to change their behavior. “There’s ____51____ among people about their function, a measurement too l and an intervention,” Finkelstein says. A scale counts pounds, ____52____, but won’t teach you how to eat less. “When people put these devices on, they might interact with the app(应用程序) for the first few weeks, maybe the first few months, but there comes a point where that starts to fall off,” says Finkelstein.To be ____53___, some of the costlier add higher-tech wearables have features baked into them that encourage users to move more, says Shelten Yuen, Fitbit’s vice president of research. Among them: shaking sensors, movement reminders and social- media combination, all designed to ____54____ users to make better health choices every day. But more research will be needed to determine whether or not these ____55____ -- or others like them--measurably improve people’s health and fitness levels.41. A. learn B. purchase C. exercise D. perform42. A. wearable B. electronic C. hi-tech D. built-in43. A. misunderstood B. inactive C. discourage D. unchangeable44. A. announced B. determined C. hoped D. noticed45. A. limit B. understand C. interpret D. change46. A. encouraging B. interesting C. pioneering D. challenging47. A. benefit from B. result in C. add to D. look for48. A. design B. movement C. profit D. difference49. A. reduction B. participation C. creation D. expectation50. A. namely B. therefore C. however D. shortly51. A. argument B. popularity C. confusion D. interaction52. A. by the way B. in other words C. of course D. for example53. A. fair B. cute C. accessible D. technical54. A. persuade B. motivate C. follow D. teach55. A. concepts B. sensors C. scales D. featuresSection BDirections: Read the following three passages.

There are many arguments in favour of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following:homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom;students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework os not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it ope ns. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child’s education, but they cann’t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work.Again, this will depend enormously on the context but , very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, evenWhen work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything theyhave seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.62. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?A. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.B. Developing the ability of the independent learning.C. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.D. Meeting the requirements of students and parents.63. Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children’s success in class, some are justinferior to others because_______.A. their tutors are not always available to support themB. they are born without the ability to deal with conceptsC. their family circumstances limit their learning abilityD. some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress64.“Keep the teacher at bay”(paragragh3) means the way homework is done____.A. imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachersB. blocks teachers from knowing more about their studentsC. displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachersD. shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Homework is hardly functioning as is naturally expected.B. Parents need to stand away from their children’s homewo rk.C. Students prefer doing homework elsewhere instead of at home.D. The quality of homework is usually teachers’first concern.66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？A. Are you ready for homework yet?B. Is there a way out for homework?C. Home and Work: it’s hard to combine.D. Homework or No homework: it is your choice.Section CDirections: Read the following passages. 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 youZoos have existed since ancient times and were features of the great courts of Egypt and China. The display of unusual animals form foreign countries was, for a long time, a show of wealth and power. Today, zoos focus on the preservation of animals species and the education of the public. __67___Some animals are distinctly unsuited for life in a zoo, however noble the aims of the organization. Keeping elephant in captivity (囚禁) has long caused argument among animals rights activists. Elephant in the wild wander constantly, covering a wide territory on a daily basis. In captivity, they have no choice but to stand still for long periods of time. ___68____. Yet elephants are a threatened species in their native environments and are heavily caught for ivory(象牙)，leather and meat illegally. To protect the species form the wild due to injury or abandonment.___69___. The chances are, if a zoo has nothing but cement floors and metal enclosures, the animals will not do as well. Many famous zoos now construct enclosures allowing animals freedom of movement and native vegetation. Some zoos have even begun housing species of animals together that normally interact in the wild, such as certain types of monkeys.Zoos are not a perfect solution for preservation.____70___. They are undeniably helpful in repopulating declining animal species and encouraging a preservationist outlook, but they are unquestionably primary in their treatment of some animals. Hopefully, animal activists and zoo advocates will continue to work together, finding ways to create the best environment for captive animals in breeding and repopulation efforts.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.The advantages of social networkingWhy do most people sign up to social networking sites? The main reason is to stay in touch with other people. These sites also help people to find their childhood friends that they have lost touch with. Renewing these long-lost friendships is just a click away. It is very exciting to be able to catch up with friends and keep up with their news on am almost daily basis thanks to frequent updates.Keep up-to-date,however,doesn’t have to be restricted to friends and acquaintances(相识的人）.What many people tend to forget is that they can also use networking sites for professional reasons. It is actually a great way of finding out about upcoming job opportunities. Friends might know about job vacancies that may not be advertised elsewhere or they can even recommend their friends for certain jobs. Even people already employed can promote their business online. This is particularly important for artists, actors and musicians who can create pages devoted to their band or theatre company, and inform fans about their gigs(现场演唱会）or latest exhibitions. In addition, the sites can be used to allow the public to give instant feedback on the artists’ work and to interact with their favourite artist.Another great advantage of social networking sites is how easy it is to organise an event with your friends. Thanks to different settings people can organise their friends by different criteria(标准）. These criteria could be how close friends they are, common interests and hobbies or where they live. This means if a certain event takes place, for example, an open-air concert or a football match, all they have to do is invite the right group of friends to attend. Some networking sites offer a range of quizzes and games, so friends living on opposite sides of the globe can invite each other to participate and compete in a variety of games without leaving their homes.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 保持身体健康是硬道理。

Nor it is just about learning how to create prettier combination of words. Reading is the best form of communication ___21___ is in a higher rank than more conversation. Many successful people ___22___（share）the same kind of wisdom so far that if you want to become a kind of person you should try your best to spend time with this kind of people.

If you don't find yourself time to read, you'll eventually find ___30___ without any time to live the life that you want to live.Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note thatA good night’s sleep is of great importance for the learning and memory process. It’s important because it stores the training exercises and the learning exercises into our more ___31___ memory while we’re sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when you wake up your mind is better prepared to act on that information.But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short ___32___ of sleep may help our brains work better, or so says a recent study on napping. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off ___33___ memory loss. Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically tired, notes the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep ___34___. So, someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not experience the same ___35___ from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would. Also, many people may not want to admit that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or lack energy. That only kids, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is not an ___36___ opinion.In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night. Health experts ___37___ that adults get seven to eight hours of sleep each night. People who claim they only sleep five hours a night may think they are somehow stronger than the ___38___ human-superhuman, if you will.However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes are ___39___ in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. While resting in the middle of the work day may seem like a ___40___ to Americans, napping is very much part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s amazing how little we have developed in many respects. We may speak without respect of the poor old Romans because they ___41___ the craziness of slaughter（杀戳）that went on in their playing fields. We may ___42___ them because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such ___43___ interest? Human beings remain as blood-thirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were ___44___ enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to ___45___ sports which should have been banned long ageIt really is ___46___ that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men strike violently and repeatedly each other to be badly injured in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and ___47___ into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is not true. People take part in violent sports because of the high ___48___ they bring. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been ___49___ of the extreme pleasure of witnessing long-lasting torture and violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are ___50___. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally. But at least we no longer ___51___ the sight that mad men were shut up in cages, which were ___52___ in the past. Prisons are no longer the forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to ___53___ wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to ___54___ the law. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to ___55___ mankind. We would recognize that violence is harmful to the mind or morals.41.A. hated B.enjoyed C.praised D.adopted42.A. brag B.beg C.struggle D.forgive43.A. universal B.local C.foreign D.overseas44.A. rude B.special C.honest D.strange45.A. fight B.protect C.protest D.defend46.A. incredible B.incomplete C.inactive D.impossible47.A. breaking B.tearing C.testing D.bursting48.A. prizes B.rewards C.favors D.efforts49.A. deleted B.left C.deprived D.crashed50.A. unstable B.unpaid C.uncivilized D.unsatisfactory51.A. tolerate B.punish C.settle D.discuss52.A. common B.popular C.fashionable D.obvious53.A. disappear B.contribute C.attribute D.distribute54.A. spoil B.change C.modify D.polish55.A. searching B.seeking C.improving D.emergingSection 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）Kids should be allowed to learn to judge their own work. A kid learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, kids learn to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a kid a change to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other kids if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the kid when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the kids learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.56.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ___.A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD.not really important skills57.According to the passage, the best way for kids to learn things is by _____.A.listening to skilled people’s adviceB.asking older people many questionsC.making mistakes and having them correctedD.doing what other people do58.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?A.Give kids correct answers.B. Allow kids to make mistakes.C.Point out kids’ mistakes to them.D.Let kids mark their own work.59.According to the writer, teachers in school should ___.A.point out kids’ mistakes whenever foundB.allow kids to learn from each otherC.give kids more book knowledgeD.always correct kids’ mistakes（B）HOW YOUR MONEY HELPSMembership activities made a contribution of over £ 3 million to the Museum last year. Your support plays a vital role, thank you. Join now!In 2015 Members responded to an appeal to acquire the Stoney Waterloo Album. Through their extraordinary generosity, and that of the American Friends of the British Museum, the Museum secured this historic album in the 200th anniversary year of the Battle of Waterloo.Visit Designed by Sir Robert Smirke and completed in 1857, the Grade 1 listed Bloomsbury building requires frequent and paintaking work to maintain it. For much of the past year regular work has been undertaken to the main portico(门廊) as part of ongoing, vital repairs to the stonemasonry(石雕).The British Museum is a museum of the citizen ---its collection is for the whole of the UK. Last yar 3 million visitors saw British Museum objects on display in museums and galleries across the UK. The Sikh fortress turban tour has been the most popular, reaching over 250,000 visitors and nine museums across the country.Visit citizen.britishmuseum. org to learn more.One of the most ambit ions buildings developments in the British Museum’s history--- the World Conservation and Exhibitions Centre—was completed with the support of our Members.

Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear （矛）or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went wrong and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists（悲观主义者）worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who say that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historicalmilestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was a revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.63.A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it ____.A.is severed both as a cultural and a physical objectB.has different purposesC.is useful to both man and animalsD.is made use of by human beings64.The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl show that ____.A.technology can be used to destroy our earth if it is not controlled by manB.technology belongs to man, so we should be responsible for itC.technology is likely to be wrong because it is a human creationD.technology never goes wrong unless it is used by man65.According to the author, why the introduction of the computer is a revolution is that _____.A.the computer has made the human mind smarter than beforeB.the computer can finish the work that could only be done by people beforeC.the computer has greatly affected society potentiallyD.the computer has brought human beings an information technology66.By using the phrase“the human quality of technology”in Para.2, the author refers to the fact that technology____.A.has affected the human life greatlyB.can replace some ways of human beingsC.has various qualities which human beings do not haveD.has some characteristics which human beings haveSection CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceLego recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable sugar cane. The toys, which will be indistinguishable from classic Legos, will also feature botanical elements like levels, bushes, and trees. ___67___ “We want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials,”said Tim Brooks, vice president, environmental responsibility at the Lego Group, in a statement.“This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all Lego bricks using sustainable materials.”___68___ It is a soft, durable and flexible plastic—technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic. Lego says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers except from the company. ___69___ Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements, because plant-based polyethylene has the same properties as conventional polyethylene.The move is part of Lego’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its core products and packaging by 2030, a move in which they have already invested $165 million. According to a research report, 4% of the world’s petroleum is used as a raw material to make plastic, and another 4% is used in the plastic-making process. ___70___ With this in mind, Lego has partnered with WWF to play their part, joining the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance（BFA），which supports the responsible development of plastics made from plant material.The LEGO Group’s decision to pursue sustainably sourced bio-based plastics represents an incredible opportunity to reduce dependence on limited resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Why Starbucks In China Is So ExpensiveChina’s national television network CCTV recently launched another of its campaigns against yet another foreign brand that has become hugely popular in China: Starbucks. The report intended to spark something about the Starbucks Pricing Controversy and compared the price of a latte at Starbucks in China with those in other countries around the world, the Price of a 354ml Medium Cup Latte—27 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Beijing; 24.25 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in London, UK; 19.98yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Chicago, USA; 14.6 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Bombay, India.The report basically was true: Starbucks in China is more expensive than pretty much anywhere else in the world. But it completely missed the point: Regarding the cost structure, as others have pointed out, they have a high cost model for producing coffee beverages and other products. Principally, they are often located in high rent areas, and are optimized（使…最优化）for service quality rather than cost-efficiency. Regarding how they are able to charge such high prices, it’s largely a product of branding and convenience.In china, Starbucks, and many other ca fé chains like them, don’t just sell caffeinated beverages, they provide a luxury service for middle and upper class consumers; they sell class consciousness, status. The fact that they are expensive is one of their biggest selling points. It is a well kno wn fact that Starbucks is expensive, and this isn’t a commercially inhibiting factor, it’s one of the chain’s best marketing strategies. Starbucks doesn’t just sell coffee in China, but sells status. It’s the same rule for just about every other company ma rketing its good and services towards China’s money classes: luxury items in China are far more expensive than in the West for no other reason than the fact that this country has a rather large, new rich consumer class which desires the status symbols to separate themselves from the masses.Ⅴ.

It can also be a sign of financial problems to come. New research has uncovered a st rong connection between the earning of adults and whether th ey grew up surrounded by books as children.Three economists at the of —Giorgio Brunello, Guglielmo Weber and Christoph Weiss—studied 6, 000 men born in nine European countries and conc luded that children with access to books could expect to earn more money than those who grew up with few or no books.They studied the period from 1920 to 1956, when school refo rms saw the minimum school leaving age raised across Europ e. They looked at whether, at the age of 10, a child lived in a house with fewer than 10 books, a shelf of books, a bookca se with up to 100 books, two bookcases, or more than two b ookcases.Over the period studied, the research, published in The Eco nomic Journal, found that an additional year of education incr eased a man’s average lifetime earnings by 9%. Men brought up in houses with less than a shelf of books earned only 5% more as a result of the extra year’s education, compared with 21% more for those who had access to a lot of books. And th ose who had access to books were more likely to move to the better-earning opportunities in cities than those without books. The men’s first job was also much more likely to be a white-collar job.The economists offer a number of theories for the results. “Pe rhaps books matter because they encourage children to read more and reading can have positive effects on school perform ance, ” they said.The number of books in children’s homes can effectively predi ct their cognitive(认知的) test scores. This may indicate a home that encourages co gnitive skills, which are important for economic success in life .12. Why did author mention Cicero’s words in the first paragra ph?A. To make an argument. _______B. To introduce the topic.C. To express his own views.D. To arouse readers’ interest.13. What can we learn about the people studied by the resear chers?A. They were tracked by researchers since age 10.B. They all left school because of school reforms.C. They came from several different countries.D. They are now white-collar professionals.14. How does the author show the results of the research?A. By listing numbers.B. By providing examples.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.15. What is the main conclusion to the research?A. Homes without books are vulnerable(脆弱的) to financial problems.B. Families that can afford books raise successful children.C. Boys who love reading books earn more than girls.D. Children who live with books earn more as adults.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018-2019学年第一学期高三英语第一次月考试题
2018-2019学年第一学期高三英语第一次月考试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AIt was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not s een rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brot hers when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously w alking with a great effort. Minutes after he disappeared into th e woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Mome nts later, however, he was once again walking toward the woo ds. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously t o the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I went out of the house and followed hi m on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; b eing very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branch es and thorns (荆棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But B illy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get a way. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suf fering from heavy loss of water, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit t he ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops... and m ore drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.1.Why did the author follow her son?A. Because she was curiousB. Because her son was doing a good deed.C. Because there might be dangerD. Because she intended to help.2．Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?A. Rain was in great need.B. Billy carried water with his small handsC. There were few trees in the woods.D. Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and ove r again.3.What Billy did mainly showed that he was ________.A. beautifulB. caringC. childlikeD. braveBAs summer comes near, many children are really happy to for get about school for a few months. However, studies have fou nd that children typically forget between one and three month s’ worth of school learning during the summer months. Spellin g and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this i s that most children read at least occasionally outside of the cl assroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video g ame guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get e xercised in the school setting.The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm chil dren have time off to help work in the fields in the high growin g season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids a ctually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic decline that occurs during the long summer vacation. Most citi es still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good lev el of preparation, experts recommend trips to museums, sum mer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally active and interested throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations w hile still keeping stu dents’ skills sharp(敏锐的). For example, in Japan students attend class for seven we eks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This con tinues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend class six d ays per week, but finish at 1:30 PM each day, so that school d oes not dominate their life the way that it does in America. Educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become accustomed to new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they “shut down” for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summ er vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previ ous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whe ther to continue the present vacations or to seek changes. 4. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most during the summ er months because children _____.A. take the summer vacation too seriouslyB. have to help work in the fieldsC. don’t like spelling and mathD. do little work of math or spelling5. What is one of the advantages of Japan and Italy’s educati onal systems?A. They offer vacations without affecting students’ skills.B. The students have more free time of their own to play.C. They provide students with shorter vacations every year.D. The students attend classes for longer time every week.6. What does the underlined phrase “shut down” in the last pa ragraph probably mean?A..Get sickB. Stop learningC. Go on vacation.D. Concentrate on their studies.7. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to Spend Summer Vacations.B. No More Summer Va cations.C. New Educational Systems NeededD. Summer Vacations: Change or NotCCharlton Heston was born in 1923 in Evanston, Illinois. Charlt on Heston discovered his interest in acting while performing in plays at his high school. He later spent two years studying th eater at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. But he l eft college to join the Army Air Forces during World War Two.

For the blanks with a given word，fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word；for the other blanks，use one word that best fits each blank.14．（10分）People are being lured（引诱）onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service，（1）realizing that they're paying for it by giving up plenty of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send（2）（target）messages．Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea （3）they're paying for Facebook，because people don't really know what their personal details are worth．The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you could keep everything private．That was the great thing about Facebook ﹣﹣you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules （4）many things ﹣﹣your city，your photo，your friends' names ﹣﹣were set，by default（默认），to be shared with everyone on the Internet．According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a "（5）（satisfying）experience．"Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，（6）involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they are connecting with their friends online？So far the privacy issue （7）（land）Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Commission to set regulations for social﹣networking sites．I suspect that whatever Facebook has done （8）（invade）our privacy is onlythe beginning，which is why I'm considering （9）（cancel）my account．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that （30）informationis in the hands of people I don't trust．That is too high a price to pay．Section BDirections：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）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.16．（15分）Marmoset monkeys exist on a branch of the evolutionary three that is distinct from the one that led to humans．But they constantly astonish researchers with （1）behavior that seems pretty highly evolved．Their social organization and （2）practices could have been the model for the phrase "It takes a village．" A dominant male and female breed，and their babies are carefully looked after by extended family members who then aren't free to breed themselves．A new study further （3）the marmoset's reputation for admirable communityvalues．Researchers report that these caregivers share their food more generously with little ones（4）than when they're surrounded by the watchful eyes of other community members．In complex societies where individuals band together for （5）protection，researchers have come up with a few widely accepted explanations for selfless behavior．But specific acts，like sharing a delicious cricket（蟋蟀）with a begging baby marmoset，seem to need more（6）explanation．One possibility is that an individual practices （7）as a means of enhancing his status among peers．By （8）that he is so well gifted with material goods that he can give some away，this do﹣gooder enhances his power within the group．That，in turn，may （9）prospective mates．The other explanation for charitable behavior （10）that kindnesses extended to others are simply the fees of group membership，which offers some future promise of a chance to mate．Failure to share would result in exclusion from the group and a loss of （11）partners．Scientists call this the "pay to stay"model．Importantly，for both of these models to work，acts of kindness must have a（n）（12）．That suggests you would see more sharing in group settings；away from judging eyes，a caregiver might be more likely to keep food for himself or herself．And yet，in 2，581 tests conducted with 31adult and 14baby marmosets，the （13）appeared to be true．Anthropologists（人类学家）from the University of Zurich carefully documented how often ，in groups and in conditions that found caregiver and baby separated from the crowd，an adult would share his or her cricket．When alone with a baby begging for a taste，adult marmosets shared their cricket 85% of the time．When in a group，caregivers offered up their cricket 67% of the time．"Our results show that helping in common marmosets is not driven by reputation management or（14）avoidance，" the study author reported．"Rather，it is driven by a deep﹣down motivation to help that is more（15）expressed when individuals are alone with young．"（1）A．animal B．careful C．social D．individual （2）A．evolving B．communicating C．organizing D．parenting （3）A．shines B．damages C．affects D．protects（4）A．at play B．in private C．on schedule D．by accident （5）A．adequate B．effective C．continual D．mutual（6）A．creative B．complex C．specific D．official（7）A．generosity B．wisdom C．independence D．governance （8）A．promising B．demonstrating C．pretending D．explaining （9）A．count on B．go after C．appeal to D．benefit from （10）A．assumes B．confirms C．enhances D．concludes （11）A．regular B．dominant C．potential D．previous （12）A．atmosphere B．audience C．feedback D．judge（13）A．statistics B．expectations C．argument D．opposite （14）A．responsibility B．punishment C．arrangement D．difficulty（15）A．strongly B．casually C．delicately D．fearlessly Section B （22分）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.17．（8分）One day a little boy，annoyed by his father's decision for him to become a grocer，decides that he will never grow up．Grocery is a dull job and staying a child is his protest against it．This strange little boy﹣man，never separated from a tin drum he is always banging，is our hero of the table．It covers three crucial decades of 20th century history．Little Oscar Matzerath will experience love，war and imprisonment in a story that paints an unforgettable picture of Central Europe between 1923 and 1954．This is an overview of the story of The Tin Drum，the most famous work by the German Nobel﹣winning author Günter Grass，who passed away on April 13 at the age of 87．The Tin Drum also established Grass as one of the leading authors of Germany．It also set a high bar of comparison for all of his following works．Just as his best﹣known fiction is both the story of an individual and of an age，so it is that Grass' life cannot be understood without referring to the history of Germany．He was called "Germany's conscience"，because he reminded Germans of a past during the Second World War （1933﹣1945）that many would have rather forgotten．This sometimes made him unpopular．Many Germans did not agree in 1989 when he said that East Germany and West Germany should remain separate，as a united country would be too strong and threaten the world's peace．And Grass was called a hypocrite when he revealed in his memoirPeeling the Onion （2006）that he had been a teenage member of the Waffen﹣SS，the Nazi （纳粹）Party's fighting force．The man who had blamed the actions of others had a less﹣than﹣perfect record himself．Grass was a man of the pen and the page and also a man with a gift for speaking to the public．His writing was noisy and annoying，but one had to listen to it，a little like the sound of the drum banged by his most famous literary creation．（1）In The Tin Drum，the hero．A．decides he will never grow up to escape from the warB．doesn't want to become a grocer as his father expectsC．refuses to be separated from the tin drum he is playingD．has an unforgettable experience involving love and hatred（2）What does the underlined word "hypocrite" mean？A．Someone who has justice on his side and pursues perfection．B．Someone who enjoys blaming others for their own mistakes．C．Someone who is unwilling to believe there is good in people．D．Someone who pretends to be more virtuous than one really is．（3）It can be inferred from the article that．A．Oscar Matzerath's stories were modeled on Grass's own childhood lifeB．critics applauded Grass's argument for continued separation of GermanyC．Grass's life and works can be best understood from a historical perspectiveD．no other writer in Germany could be Grass's equal in perfect personal record（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the article？A．To analyze what has made The Tin Drum so popular in Germany．B．To introduce the readers to Günter Grass and his most famous work．C．To present the history of Germany through the pen and page of Grass．D．To give some background information about Grass's early life as a writer．18．（6分）Bees in a colony work with each other to gather food，and they try to find the most nectar （花蜜）in the least amount of time possible．A small number of bees work as searchers，but when a good flower patch （花丛）is found，how do they tell other bees where to find it？Bees communicate flower location using special dances inside the hive，where bees live．One bee dances while the other bees watch．The dancing bee smells like the flower patch，and also gives the watching bees a taste of the nectar she has gathered．Smell and tastehelps other bees find the correct flower patch．Bees use two different kinds of dances to communicate information：the waggle （摇摆）dance and the circle dance．Waggle danceThe waggle dance tells the watching bees two things about a flower patch's location：the distance and the direction away from the hive．A．DistanceThe dancing bee waggles back and forth as she moves forward in a straight line，then circles around to repeat the dance．The length of the middle line，called the waggle run，shows roughly how far it is to the flower patch．B．DirectionBees know which way is up and which way is down inside their hive，and they use this to show direction．How？Bees dance with the waggle run at a specific angle away from straight up．Outside the hive，bees look at the position of the sun，and fly at the same angle away from the sun．Circle danceThe circle dance tells the watching bees only one thing about the flower patch's location：that it is somewhere close to the hive．In this dance，the bee walks in a circle，turns around，then walks the same circle in the opposite direction．Sometimes，the bee includes a little waggle as she's turning around．The duration of this waggle is thought to indicate the quality of the flower patch．（1）Why does the searcher give the watching bees a taste of the nectar？A．To inform them of the distance of the flower．B．To celebrate her success of finding the nectar．C．To motivate them to collect the nectar．D．To ensure the bees find the right patch．（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE about the dances？A．The searcher's waggle means little during the circle dance．B．The waggle dance indicates the direction of the flower patch．C．The waggle dance shows precisely how far the flower patch is．D．The quality of the flower patch is not shown in the circle dance．（3）If the searcher dances inside the hive in this way（see the right picture），which of the following is the WRONG flying direction for the other bees？A．B．C．D．19．（8分）Earth's geologic ages﹣﹣﹣time periods defined by evidence in rock layers﹣﹣﹣﹣typically last more than three million years．We're barely 11，500 years into the current age ，the Holocene．But a new paper argues that we've already entered a new one﹣the Anthropocene，or "new man"，age．The name isn't brand﹣new．Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen，a co﹣author of the paper，coined it in 2002 to reflect the changes since the industrial revolution．The paper，however ，is part of new push to formalize the Anthropocene age．Recent human impacts have been so great that they'll result in an obvious boundary （界限）in Earth's rock layer，the author's say．"We are so skilled at using energy and exploiting the environment that we are now a defining force in the geological process on the surface of the Earth，" said co﹣author Jan Zala，a geologist with the University of Leicester in the UK．Even so，it could take years or even decades for the International Union of Geological Science to formalize the new age．If the concept of the Anthropocene age is to be formalized ，scientists will first have to identify and define a boundary line ，or marker，that's set in stone．"The key thing is thinking about how﹣thousands of years in the future﹣﹣﹣geologist might come back and actually recognize in the deposit in the UK．" It's not as straightforward as you might think．The market has to be very precise，and it has to be recognized in many different parts of the world，" said Haywood，who wasn't involved in the new study．One candidate for the market is the distinctive radioactive signature left by atom bomb tests，which began in 1945．"The fallout （沉降）is basically across the world，" Haywood said．In a similar way，scientists used traces of the element iridium （铱）left by shooting star strikes to help define the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods﹣﹣﹣the time of the great dinosaur extinctions．The push for a formal declaration of the Anthropocene age is about more than just scientific curiosity．The move the scientists write in the last issue of the journal Environmental Science & Technology，"might be used as encouragement to slow carbon emissions and biodiversity（生物多样性）loss" or " as evidence on protection measures" Just as Haywood said，by underlining how much we're changing the environment，the formalization would be "a very powerful statement"．（1）Which of the following is TRUE about the new paper？A．It denies the existence of the Holocene age．B．It documents the recent human impacts on earth．C．It pushes for the formalization of the Anthropocene age．D．It serves as a warning against the current mineral exploitation．（2）Haywood's words in paragraph 4indicate that．A．the key to formalizing the new age is to find a deposit record set in stoneB．the marker has to appear in various places globally to be considered validC．finding a marker is a straightforward way to define the beginning of an ageD．future geologists may find it hard to recognize the markers we choose today（3）What can you infer from the passage？A．The element iridium may work as a marker for the Anthropocene age．B．The Nobel Prize winner Crutzen invented the name Holocene in 2002．C．The formalization of the new age may send a message for eco﹣protection．D Human activities have resulted from the change of boundaries in rock layers．（4）What is the best title for the passage？A．Humans Are Destroying the Earth，Geologists WarnB．Too Early to Set Things in Stone，Authorities SayC．More Evidence Is Needed，Universities RequireD．A New Earth Age May Begin，Scientists ArgueSection C （8分）Directions：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.20．（8分）A．She is perfectly made for doing what she does，it seems．B．Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us．C What she did was really beyond our imagination．D．It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent．E．And most of us would prefer it to remain that way．F．Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills．Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things，while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch their exploits on TV？Robin Styles ponders（考虑）this question．Generally，we love to watch someone's bravery and drama﹣﹣a single person against the wilds of nature，testing their endurance beyond belief．And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk﹣free life，where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour．（1）However，there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance，if you should wish to do so，by attempting something unpleasant，uncomfortable or just plain dangerous．American Lynne Cox swims in sub﹣zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit﹣﹣for fun! According to Lynne，there is always something driving her on．At age 9，when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day，a violent storm blew up，but she refused to get out of the pool．Something make her carryon．Then she realized that，as the water got colder and rougher，she was actually getting faster and warmer，and she was really enjoying it．At age 14，she broke her first endurance record．Years later，experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat，likea seal．（2）．The famous British explorer，Sir Ranulph Fiennes，has led many major expeditions （远征）in the extreme cold，including walking right round the Arctic Circle．He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat，and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert．（3）Sir Fiennes has said，"If I am getting sick，I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it．"（4）There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer．Unsurprisingly，risk﹣takers tend to be single﹣minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer．They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it．The excitement becomes addictive，and they want more and more of it．Ordinary life seems boring in comparison．IV. Summary Writing21．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．Take care of your spine （脊柱）The spine stands at the center of your health，providing your body with structure and support．It also contains your spinal cord，a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain．Since your spine is so central to your health，it's important to look after it．Maintaining good posture （姿势）is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy．Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight，except for its natural curves．Posture comes into play even when you're asleep．Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions．Staying still for too long﹣even if your posture is good﹣can be hard on your back．Especially if you work at a desk most of the day，it's important to get up and stretch periodically．Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine．Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement．Strength exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine．However，don't overdo the exercise，as repeated motions can stain the muscles around your spine．Finally，your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves．In particular，B vitamins and omega﹣3 fatty acids help keep nerves healthy，so you may want to consider taking a supplement．Another important factor is vitamin D，which is essential for strong bones．Vitamin D can come from some foods，but it's also absorbed from sunlight，so it may help to do some of those back exercises outside．Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those used to preserve your health in other ways．So protect our back，and the rest of body will benefit．V.

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 accordingto the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Kids should be allowed to learn to judge their own work.A kid learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time:if corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the difference betweenthe language he uses and the language those around him use.Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to makehis language like other people’s.In the same way,kids learn to do all the other things:they learn to do without beingtaught to walk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bicycle,compare their own performances with those of more skilledpeople,and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a kid a change to find out his mistakesand correct them for himself.We do it all for him.We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistakeunless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to.Let him work out,with the help of other kidsif he wants it,what this word says,what the answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doingthis or not.If it is a matter of right answer,as it may be in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work?Our job should be to help thekid when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.Let the kids learn what all educated personsmust learn,how to measure their own understanding,and how to know what they know or do not know.56.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are___.A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD.not really important skills57.According to the passage,the best way for kids to learn things is by_____.A.listening to skilled people’s adviceB.asking older people many questionsC.making mistakes and having them correctedD.doing what other people do58.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?A.Give kids correct answers.B.Allow kids to make mistakes.C.Point out kids’mistakes to them.D.Let kids mark their own work.59.According to the writer,teachers in school should___.A.point out kids’mistakes whenever foundB.allow kids to learn from each otherC.give kids more book knowledgeD.always correct kids’mistakes（B）60.According to the passage,you can infer that_______.A.this is an introduction to the British MuseumB.this is a page from a science magazineC.this is a page from the homepage of the British MuseumD.this is an advertisement on a page of the British Museum61.If you want to know more about the museum of the citizen,you can visit_____.B.citizen. @62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The Battle of Waterloo happened in the year1915.B.Three million visitors saw British Museum objects on display in museum in2015.C.The GradeⅠlisted Bloomsbury building can be visited in Oxfordshire.D.Membership activities push forward the development of the British Museum.（C）Living in the U.S.A today is to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf’s words there are social changes everywhere. Technology,the application of knowledge for practical ends,is a major source of social change.Y et we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation;it does not exist naturally.A spear （矛）or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object.Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot toproduce machine parts,neither is much more than a solid mass of matter.For a bird looking for an object on whichto rest,a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well.The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology;they provide cases in whichwell-planned systems suddenly went wrong and there was no ready hand to set them right.Since technology is ahuman creation,we are responsible for what is done with it.Pessimists（悲观主义者）worry that we will use ourtechnology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces.But they have been saying this for decades,andso far we have managed to survive and even flourish.Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain.Clearly,the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution.Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do.There arethose who say that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones,particularly the Industrial Revolution.Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution,we find that it was not the machines.The primary reason why it was a revolutionary is that it led to great socialchange.It gave rise to mass production and,through mass production,to a society in which wealth was not confinedto the few.In somewhat similar fashion computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life,particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication.The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods.The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods.It is thecapacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and thatposes the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.63.A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it____.A.is severed both as a cultural and a physical objectB.has different purposesC.is useful to both man and animalsD.is made use of by human beings64.The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl show that____.A.technology can be used to destroy our earth if it is not controlled by manB.technology belongs to man,so we should be responsible for itC.technology is likely to be wrong because it is a human creationD.technology never goes wrong unless it is used by man65.According to the author,why the introduction of the computer is a revolution is that_____.A.the computer has made the human mind smarter than beforeB.the computer can finish the work that could only be done by people beforeC.the computer has greatly affected society potentiallyD.the computer has brought human beings an information technology66.By using the phrase“the human quality of technology”in Para.2,the author refers to the fact that technology____.A.has affected the human life greatlyB.can replace some ways of human beingsC.has various qualities which human beings do not haveD.has some characteristics which human beings haveSection CDirections：Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentencecan be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.With the latest learning toys,construction toys and more,your little ones can enjoy endless hours ofimaginative play.B.LEGO products have always been about providing high quality play experiences giving every child thechance to shape their own world through creative play.C.Lego’s current bricks are made from oil-based plastics.D.Since plastic is so common and so non-eco-friendly,finding ways to replace it is extremely important.E.The new line of production has reportedly already started with pieces being produced from polyethylene（聚乙烯）.F.The overall design of the space is a modern and mature interpretation of a youthful brand.Lego recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable sugar cane.The toys,which will be indistinguishable from classic Legos,will also feature botanical elements like levels,bushes,and trees.___67___“We want to make a positive impact on the world around us,and are working hard to make great play productsfor children using sustainable materials,”said Tim Brooks,vice president,environmental responsibility at the LegoGroup,in a statement.“This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all Lego bricks using sustainable materials.”___68___It is a soft,durable and flexible plastic—technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic.Lego says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products,as they’ve tested the plant-basedplastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers except from the company.___69___Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements,because plant-based polyethylene has the same properties as conventional polyethylene.The move is part of Lego’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its core products and packaging by2030,a move in which they have already invested$165million.According to a research report,4%of the world’s petroleumis used as a raw material to make plastic,and another4%is used in the plastic-making process.___70___With thisin mind,Lego has partnered with WWF to play their part,joining the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance（BFA），whichsupports the responsible development of plastics made from plant material.The LEGO Group’s decision to pursue sustainably sourced bio-based plastics represents an incredible opportunity to reduce dependence on limited resources,and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow themto connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.Ⅳ.Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no moree your own words as far as possible.Why Starbucks In China Is So ExpensiveChina’s national television network CCTV recently launched another of its campaigns against yet another foreign brand that has become hugely popular in China:Starbucks.The report intended to spark something aboutthe Starbucks Pricing Controversy and compared the price of a latte at Starbucks in China with those in othercountries around the world,the Price of a354ml Medium Cup Latte—27yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Beijing;24.25yuan RMB at a Starbucks in London,UK;19.98yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Chicago,USA;14.6yuan RMB at aStarbucks in Bombay,India.The report basically was true:Starbucks in China is more expensive than pretty much anywhere else in the world.But it completely missed the point:Regarding the cost structure,as others have pointed out,they have a highcost model for producing coffee beverages and other products.Principally,they are often located in high rent areas,and are optimized（使…最优化）for service quality rather than cost-efficiency.Regarding how they are able tocharge such high prices,it’s largely a product of branding and convenience.In china,Starbucks,and many other caféchains like them,don’t just sell caffeinated beverages,they provide a luxury service for middle and upper class consumers;they sell class consciousness,status.The fact that they areexpensive is one of their biggest selling points.It is a well known fact that Starbucks is expensive,and this isn’t acommercially inhibiting factor,it’s one of the chain’s best marketing strategies.Starbucks doesn’t just sell coffee inChina,but sells status.It’s the same rule for just about every other company marketing its good and services towardsChina’s money classes:luxury items in China are far more expensive than in the West for no other reason than thefact that this country has a rather large,new rich consumer class which desires the status symbols to separatethemselves from the masses.Ⅴ.TranslationDirections：Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.所有成功人士都知道每一分钟都很重要。
