2020年上海市瑞大学校高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThree Things to Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBBrain cells work to actively forget memories during a specific period of sleep. When we sleep our brains clear out the memories we’ve made while we’re awake, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of the study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different periods of sleep.They found that during the rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep period — or active sleep when we are thought to dream — special nerve cells appear to actively contribute to forgetting. What are known as melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons (神经元) sit in the hypothalamus (下丘脑): a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns: activating the MCH neurons increasing time spentin this period, while preventingthemreducing changes into this period.The scientists looked at MCH cells in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, compared with 35 percent when the mice were awake. Study co-author Thomas Kilduff, director of the Center for Neuroscience at SRI International, told Newsweek the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were prevented. “This result suggests that activation of the MCH neurons may affect memory — that is, MCH neurons may facilitate forgetting,” Kilduff explained.When asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, “We hope the work could deepen our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the neural basis of learning and memory is a huge area of neuroscience research because of its effects on our everyday lives, as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Prior to this work, no one suspected that MCH neurons had anything to do with forgetting,” said Kilduff.4. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Forgetting is a passive process.B. The forgetting process is known to us.C. Some memories are forgotten while we are awake.D. Certain memories are removed while we are asleep.5. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. REM sleep patterns.B. Past researches.C. MCH neurons.D. A range of functions.6. Why did Kilduff’s team conduct the research?A. To publish the study in the journal Science.B. To know more about Alzheimer’s disease.C. To contribute to human’s forgetting.D. To explore our everyday lives.7. What can we know about MCH?A. MCH cells takes control of REM sleep patterns .B. MCH neurons may disturb memory consolidation.C. MCH neurons have nothing to do with forgetting.D. MCH cells help mice performing better on learning.CLife in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.8. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?A. Paul Resnick.B. Robert Kraut.C. Thomas Putnam.D. Amitay Etzioni.9. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .A. the opinion expressed in Bowling AloneB. the survey made by the University of MichiganC. the conclusion in a report written in 1998D. the study conducted by Stanford University10. From the passage we learn that .A. watching TV used to take time away from staying onlineB. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effectC. 36％ofweb users spend more than five hours a week onlineD. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions11. The passage mainly discusses .A. how we can make a better use of the InternetB. how declines in social connectedness appearC. whether the Internet causes an isolating effectD. what a different life the Internet brings to usDIdentifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolor1 s is criticalto restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the teamfound a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color1 .Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color1 , one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”12. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. determine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color1 folium belongs to13. The underlined phrase “poring over”in the second paragraph means ________.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully14. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.15. The article is mainly about _________.A. how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was made第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年上海各区高三英语一模汇编—概要写作（含答案）（精校版）One【虹口区】The Zeigarnik EffectHave you ever found yourself thinking about a partially finished project for school or work when you were trying to focus on other things? Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive(侵入的) thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leaves important tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well-being.The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.【答案】The Zeiguvnik Effect is that you always remember unfinished matter, which can be well used. The effect helps you overcome procrastination and have a good start. The effect is effective for students to improve recall and remember things better. It also encourage people to finish work and improve psychological well-being. It can influence us positively in all aspect.【解析】要点中需要包括：1.The Zeigarnik Effect的定义2.三个好处容易出现的问题：主旨句不清晰；语言不够精炼。

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the samemessage were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifullydesigned – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanationon the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the ca rd’s and said:“Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shoppingit was awebsite like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –household name before it’d even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read,“What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly youwanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytimehad become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was muchcheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but itwas registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find someinteresting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. Agovernment official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news storiessuddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court diedin a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposingor criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong.Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information andlooking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleepat his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stotrouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a company opening.B. The website address of a new company.C. The words “Anytime:Starting tomorrow”．D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”．29. Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D. So people would find the new company interesting.30. What did Chris’ s research suggest aboutAnytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.31. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the company would do.D. Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.DConnecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that oncerequired a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on yourscreen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violatingcertain new r ules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it to call. But that’s just the beginning.“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office managerfrom White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terribleone-word message —“K.”“At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few where. You’re not that busy.”There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to expresstheir distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friendshave their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings thathave their own unique set of routine.But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguousclues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easilyunderstand.“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness ofly fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up athe body language,” Ivory said, “People immediatefeeling in seconds.“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”32. What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?A. He is a businessman with a bad temper.B. He complains about social manners.- word messages.C. He can’t bear oneD. He dislike a busy business life.33. According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?A. John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.B. Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.C. Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.D. Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.34. Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?A. Emoji cannot sum up feelings.B. People use their own slang and customs.C. There are large quantities of written rules.D. People gets wrong messages without clear clues.35. What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?A. To obey their own digital communication rules.B. To be aware of rules during digital communication.C. To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.D. To keep pace with digital communication development.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。

崇明 Giving Thanks
This is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays
The old saying goes “It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,” but the same is true of gratitude.

When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots （同胞）on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. However, they immediately saw things which didn't exist in Europe, often items used and made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word "boss”, for example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century. It comes from the Dutch word "baas'" which means master. The word "cookie" also comes from the Dutch "koekje”.

But that first moon landing might not have been such a(n) __31__ moment if it weren’t for NASA’s clever PR (Public Relations) team.Richard Jurek is a marketing __32__ and co-author of the book marketing the Moon: The Selling of the Apollo Lunar Program. He says NASA’s move to real-time, open communication made the 1969 Apollo 11 landing “the first positive viral event that __33__ the world’s attention.”Before NASA was established in 1958, rockets were the military’s territory; that secretiveness carried over into the space agency’s early days. At first, NASA followed a “fire in the tail” rule, only ___34___ a rocket’s launch when it was successfully in the air. But as the agency evolved, it started announcing more details about the Apollo program. It ___35___its astronauts, talked openly about mission goals and challenges, and shared launch times so people could watch. “If it had been run like it was under the military,” Jurek says, “we would not have had that sense of drama, that sense of involvement, that sense of wonder, that ___36___.” Instead, all the PR and press promotion in the years ahead of Apollo 11 brought the human spaceflight program into people’s living rooms and imaginations.As the drama neared its peak, NASA’s PR officials pushed for live TV broadcasts of the first humans to walk on the moon. Not everyone thought it was a good idea. The technology for live lunar broadcasts, and cameras small enough to keep the cargo ___37___, didn’t exist at the point. Some engineers worried that developing that equipment would ___38___ from efforts to achieve the landing itself. But NASA’s communications team argued that telling the story was as vital as the ___39___ itself. Live TV would bring the American people -- and international viewers -- along for the ride.Come landing day, which ___40___ fell on a Sunday, more than half a billion people worldwide crowded around TVs and radios for the historic moment. “We were able to come together and do something that was exciting and interesting and brought the world together,” says David Meerman Scott, marketing strategist and co-author of Marketing the Moon. “I don’t know that we’ve done anything like that since.”Ⅱ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient creatures likely evolved the stress response to better escape from hunters. But today its causes include traffic, deadlines and first dates. According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top ___41___ are work, money, the economy and health.Although everyone faces stress, people react to it ___42___. “There’s the situation, how we ___43___ the situation, and then our skills at handling the situation,” says psychologist William Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. ____44____ experiences help us assess appropriate responses, so most people improve with age. “A high school student or a college student might not have those ___45___ skills and might let a situation get out of hand,” he adds.Most ___46___have normal stress responses, regulated to give the right burst of hormones（激素）and bodily changes for a particular stressor. But others always over-or under-react, which may be a warning sign for physical or mental ___47___. To study this, scientists often monitor cortisol（皮质醇）or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.____48___, the intensity of these responses seems to be set from a young age. Studies have shown that people who experienced childhood hardships -- including physical punishment and a(n) ___49___ home -- are more likely to have quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo exposed 354 participants to moderate stress. People who self-reported early-life ___50___ actually had lower heart rates and cortisol levels than other participants. While the study tasks were not important, the individuals’ under-reactions suggest their stress response may also have trouble ___51___ when it really matters.

House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. it bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It’s covered in mass（苔藓）, which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of inseets. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they’re there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I’m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When I’m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. We’ll be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business. Living side by side. Even as I writethis -- the large windows open to a lovely, soft evening -- a white feather comes floating down by my side. Probably from one of the resident pigeons.As I don’t have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me fell connected to the outdoors. Such an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures -- that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, I know that it can count on me and I will protect it with all my strength.56.

Then, I tried to learn phonetics and practice one syllable after another again and again. I started with a single word, then a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph and finally the whole passage. After 3-month practice, I was able to read an article fluently without making any mistakes in pronunciation. I felt happy. Next, I practiced my listening. By listening to a passage four times, I required myself to take it down without spelling errors or any information blank. Last but not least, I installed an app called Shanbei Oral English on my phone to practice both my listening and speaking. It’s like having conversations with a robot. I had to understand what it said to me and answer its questions accordingly. After practicing for almost 8 months, I had my first talking session with an American teacher in our school. I was proud of myself.What I have learnt from this experience is something as a saying goes: no pain no gain. Though the process of learning could be dull and tiring, it’s worth all the efforts after I achieved my goal. Even if I didn’t, it’s still a valuable part of my life.阅卷作文8+8+4=20The wonderful year of 2017 is drawing to an end. I remember that I set an annual goal to keep fit at the beginning of 2017, since staying healthy is crucial to ensuring my study, thus better prepare myself for Gaokao.To achieve my goal of keeping fit, here are some efforts I’ve taken throughout the year. On the very first day of 2017, I downloaded a fitness app called Keep. Following the fitness instructions the app offered, I exercised every other night before I go to bed. Also, I did some research into the daily nutrition I need in order to stay healthy both physically and mentally, after which I devised a moderate dieting plan. Apart from the above, I’ve invited family members and friends to join me so that we can encourage each other and exchange fitness experience.So far, the record shown on my fitness app shows that I’ve done well this year, reaching a record high of 200 training times in total. Although at times I felt like giving up because of too much study pressure and limited time, I’m glad I have stuck to my plan. It seems to me that anything is possible if I throw in all of my energy and passion, and most of all, perseverance. Some rules apply to study. So I hope I will keep such passion and strength to do my best in the coming 2018. （237 words）点评：1．文本结构段落清晰，符合作文题目要求。

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.A．Regrettably， that point has not yet come．B．Elephant numbers started falling．C．The existence of even a small legal market increases the opportunities for illegal trade．D．They point out that they have devoted huge resources to the elephant．E．In the long run technology can help make trade coexist with conservation．F．One animal， as so often in the past， will attract much of the attention： the African elephant．The Ban on Trading Ivory（象牙） is Unfair but NecessaryAs in some countries elephant population have recovered， there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be． Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make． But it is not strong enough． The ban must stay．Understandably， countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this is unfair．（1）________And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local people who are in competition with wildlife for resources， and sometimes in conflict with it﹣elephants can be destructive． People and governments， so the argument goes， need to have an economic stake（利害关系）in the elephants’ survival． The ivory trade would give them one．To understand why these reasonable﹣sounding proposals should be rejected， consider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised， when Botswana， Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japan．（2）________A survey conducted in 2014﹣15 estimated that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18 countries since 2007．（3）________ In better﹣resourced national parks， drones are used to make it easier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters． DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from， and thus whether they are legal． As prices of the technologies fall and countries get richer， both technologies are likely to spread．The objection to trade in products of endangered species is not moral． When the world is confident that it will boost elephant numbers rather than wipe them out， the ivory trade should be encouraged．（4）________ And until it does， the best hope for the elephant﹣and even more endangered species， such as rhinos（犀牛）﹣lies not in easing the ban on trading their products， but in enforcing it better．【答案】D,B,E,A【考点】说明文七选五【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了象牙贸易禁令是不公平但。

Or perhaps you wondered what would happen next in your favorite TV show or film series. If you have, you’ve experienced the Zeigarnik effect. You tend to remember unfinished tasks better than finished tasks. Knowledge of the Zeigarnik effect can be put into use in everyday life.The effect is especially well suited for helping overcome procrastination or delaying an action to a later time. We often put off big tasks that seem overwhelming. However, the Zeigarnik effect suggests that the key to overcoming procrastination is to just get started. The first step could be something small and seemingly insignificant. In fact, it’s probably best if it’s something fairly easy.The Zeigarnik effect can be useful for students who are studying for an exam. The effect tells us that breaking up study periods can actually improve recall. So instead of cramming for an exam all in one sitting, breaks should be scheduled in which the student focuses on something else. This will cause intrusive(侵入的) thoughts, enabling students to rehearse and consolidate the information that must be remembered, leading to better recall when they take the exam.The Zeigarnik effect also points to reasons why people may experience mental health problems. If an individual leavesimportant tasks incomplete, the intrusive thoughts that result can lead to stress, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and emotional distress. Conversely, completing a task can give an individual a sense of accomplishment and lead to a feeling of closure that can improve psychological well-being.The Zeigarnik effect can actually be used to positively impact your work productivity.【答案】The Zeiguvnik Effect is that you always remember unfinished matter, which can be well used. The effect helps you overcome procrastination and have a good start. The effect is effective for students to improve recall and remember things better. It also encourage people to finish work and improve psychological well-being. It can influence us positively in all aspect.【解析】要点中需要包括：1.The Zeigarnik Effect的定义2.三个好处容易出现的问题：主旨句不清晰；语言不够精炼。

2020届上海高三英语一模汇编--概要写作

2020届长宁金山区高三英语一模试卷Cryptocurrency(加密货币)Making payments online is very easy these days if you have a credit card or a bank card that uses a payment network. Sending money online to a friend,you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal,or make a bank transfer. However,there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money,and transfers can have sizeable fees.In2008,a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use cryptograph(密码学)to create a secure electronic cash system,known as a cryptocurrency.Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization.Each transaction could happen very quickly.The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely.Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today,there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies.Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin.They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual“wallets”or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.However,clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash.The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet.The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies.Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual ter,the websites disappear along with the victims’money.In response to this problem,companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.宝山区2019学年第一学期期末People choose to become entrepreneurs(创业者)for a wide variety of reasons.One important reason is,of course, financial reward.If you own your own business and it becomes successful,you can reap huge financial rewards.And as an entrepreneur,dependent on how much your boss decides to give you;it’s limited only by the success of your business.And speaking of bosses,not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur.Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects,rather than having others tell them what to do.They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true.For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need.It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy,however,nor is it always fun.Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours,especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground.That’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic(伦理).Employees can work40hours a week and then stop,but for an entrepreneur,there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion;they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it.Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others.That’s important for finding investors,getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter.This is important from the very beginning,when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business.But even after that initial step,creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.崇明区2020届第一次英语高考模拟考试试卷Giving ThanksThis is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we’re thankful for in life.Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special.But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a muscle we should strengthen year-round to make us healthier,happier humans and leaders.Emmons,through his research,found that grateful people reported feeling healthier,both mentally and physically. Specifically,those who were grateful were25percent happier than those who weren’t.In the workplace,well-being is a crucial topic when it comes to preventing employee burn-out and promoting engagement.Beyond the research that shows that employees who are shown that they are appreciated are more productive by50percent,caring for your employees’well-being is simply the right thing to do.Providing programs that support managing life’s everyday challenges,offering fitness classes or implementing flexible work schedules are just a few things that,when paired with gratitude,can lead to more productive,engaged and happier working professionals.Working in an ever-evolving,fast-paced industry,I am surrounded by ambitious people who are always striving for more and better.Gratitude challenges you to reflect in the moment instead of always thinking about the future.It starts by paying attention to what’s going on in your life,and that true self-awareness is a key ingredient to being successful in your career.Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships,both at work and in your personal life.People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.The old saying goes“It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,”but the same is true of gratitude.That’s a gift worth celebrating 365days a year.虹口区2019学年度第一学期期终学生学习能力诊断测试The Zeigarnik EffectHave you ever found yourself thinking about a partially finished project for school or work when you were trying to focus on other

nervous,invariably they respond with the same answers:“I don’t like being watched”,“I don’t like the eyes on me”or“I don’t like being in the spotlight”.To understand why,we need to go way back to prehistoric times,when humans regarded eyes watching us as an existential threat.Those eyes were likely predators(肉食动物)and people were terrified of being eaten alive.The bad news is that our brains have transferred the ancient fear of being watched into public speaking.In other words,public-speaking anxiety is in our DNA.Fortunately,there is a solution:human generosity.The key to disarming our panic button is to turn the focus away from ourselves and toward helping the audience.Studies have shown that an increase in generosity indeed leads to a decrease in amygdala(扁桃腺)activity,which is responsible for our panic feeling in the brain.When we are kind to others,we overcome the sense of being under attack and start to feel less nervous.Admittedly,this is hard to do.But it’s absolutely possible to become a generous speaker.To begin with,when you start preparing for a presentation,the mistake you often make is starting with the topic.Instead,you should start with the audience.Identify the audience’s needs,and craft a message that speaks directly to those needs.Also,you are the most nervous right before you speak.This is the moment when your brain is telling you,“Everyone is judging me.”But it is exactly the moment when you should refocus your brain.Over time,your brain will begin to get it,and you will become less nervous.黄浦区2019学年度第一学期高三年级期终调研测试Online“friends”―a threat to developmentThe impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much-debated topic since the dramatic rise of social networks.Advances in mobile technology and social networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before.It is therefore not surprising that so many psychologists,sociologists,and others are eager to give their thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society.There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying.We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night,excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.Professor Larry D. Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become ineffective,aggressive,and display anti-social behavior in their offline lives.But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy.This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends’points of view. Without it,we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone.This is something confirmed by a study where200university students were asked to go without social media for24hours.Many admitted an addiction to their online social network;most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends.And yet being alone is a time when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are.It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming,so it is clear that we can’t neglect those negative impacts of social networks.青浦区2019学年第一学期高三英语期终学业质量调研试卷Social media and teens’anxietyFrom cyber-bullying to cruel comments,social media can be a land mine for kids.Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for many teens.With kids’digital well-being a concern,researchers are exploring potential links between social media and the rise in teen suicide rates,tech addiction,and loss of real-life social skills.Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety?It’s a question that worried parents.Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids,but it’s difficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support.How kids use social media matters,too.Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms,which often co-occur with anxiety.How can parents keep social media a positive for kids?1.Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t invite you to can really be upsetting.If your kid is tired of digital drama,suggest they take a break from social media for a while.In fact,if they post a status update that they’re takinga break,their friends might be very accepting because they’ve had similar feelings.2.People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect—not the homework struggles,or the fight they had with their dad.Remind kids that social media leaves the messy stuff out—and that everyone has ups and downs.3.In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking at Wechat,it’s doubly important for them to feel as though they’re cultivating their inner lives.Prompt them to balance social media with soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies,exercise,reading,and helping others.Otherwise,what are they going to show off about on social media?浦东新区2019学年度第一学期期末教学质量检测How Supermarkets Are Changing BritainThe British love their supermarkets.And there are more and more of them every year.But is this a good thing?Not necessarily.For a start,many small shops can’t compete on price with superstores such as Tesco.And they don’t have as many products either.As a result,36%of the UK’s small shops shut down between1990and1996while the number of supermarkets increased from457to1,102.Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub.There are now over55,000supermarkets in the UK,but less than55,000pubs.A decade ago there were more than61,000.These days,pubs are closing at the rate of39a week!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare.The UK has high standards in this field,but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad.And in many cases,this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK.But once they’ve got the meat,supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there.Dishonest?Not exactly,but it isn’t entirely true either!Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too.Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive,so they get food producers to do it for them.This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies.In turn,this increases the amount of petrol used,which leads to more pollution.Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging,which isn’t good for the environment either.So,what can be done to help the“little guys”?Not much really.Supermarkets have a lot of power.Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets.And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions.For example, just before the year2000,one supermarket gave the government£12million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later,plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.松江区2019学年度第一学期期末质量监控试卷It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A.Nonetheless,quite apart from well-documented lexical(词汇的)differences–pavement/sidewalk,lift/elevator,etc.–there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms.That’s why some people say that Great Britain and the United States are nations separated by a common language.There are practical reasons for this.When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America,the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots(同胞)on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.However,they immediately saw things which didn’t exist in Europe,often items used and made by Native Americans,such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo.They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants.The word“boss”, for example,was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century.It comes from the Dutch word“baas”, which means master.The word“cookie”also comes from the Dutch“koekje”.There are many words,phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms(美式英语用语) in Britain when they are nothing of the sort.Very often,they represent not an American import,but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain.The verbs“guess”meaning think and“loan”meaning lend and the adjective“mad”meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms,yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago.In the case of“loan”,it was used as long ago as1,200years!In fact,English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last500years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found.2019学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷The Decline of BiodiversityBiodiversity is the range of living things in an area.During the last100years,scientists have seen a great decline in biodiversity.Some studies show that one in eight plant species is threatened with extinction.It is estimated that140,000 species of plants are lost each year.Most of the extinctions in the last thousand years are due to humans.The main cause is the chopping down of tropical rain forests.Most of this destruction is done to create pasture(牧场)for beef cattle.Many rainforests in Central and South America have been burnt down to make way for cattle farming,which supplies beef to the rest of the world.It is estimated that for each pound of beef produced,200square feet of rainforest are destroyed.The forests are also cut down to make wheat for bread as well as fruit for human consumption.The introduction of exotic(外来的)species is another threat.The latest research from the University of Southampton has revealed the impact of exotic species upon native wildlife,which could potentially lead to the extinctions of local species.When exotic species are introduced to a place,they try to establish a self-sustaining population.While the local species,which haven’t had a chance to evolve,often lack defenses and thus cannot compete against the exotic species.The disappearance of certain food animals can be disastrous not only to larger animals but also to the entire ecosystem. It is these small creatures which convert much of the energy in an ecosystem from unusable(i.e.microscopic plants, decaying matter,etc.)into usable forms,namely their bodies.Their absence makes most energy and nutrients trapped in forms unusable to other species.This makes the environment less suitable for healthy living,and less capable of producing resources that humans need.杨浦区2019学年度第一学期高三模拟质量调研The Psychology of SpendingDr.Thomas Gilovich,psychology professor at Cornell University,has studied the psychology of spending for over20 years.According to Dr.Gilovich,“We buy things to make us happy,and we succeed,but only for a while.New things are exciting to us at first,but then we adapt to them.”In other words,once the freshness of our newest purchase wears off,we begin looking for something else to buy to make us happy.Dr.Gilovich found that our satisfaction with possessions fades over time.Yet our happiness over things we've experienced increases.For that reason,he has concluded that we are spending our money on the wrong things.A study out of San Francisco State University agrees.The research showed that those people who spent money on experiences instead of possessions were happier.They also thought their money was better invested.To begin with,activities like a trip,adventure,hobby,etc.tend to bring the participants together and unite them over a shared interest.According to Gilovich,“We consume experiences directly with other people.”As a result,these experiences typically create a positive link and good feelings toward the other person or people.Besides,your experience shows others who you are and what you are.For example,you might be someone who loves taking cooking classes.More than likely,you'll become known by friends and family as a great cook.They won't know you as someone who owns the latest kitchen equipment.Lastly,planned experiences are frequently something we look forward to.Then when the moment arrives,if we enjoy the time involved in the activity,we're left with fond memories.These memories will often last a lifetime.Even our worst trips, on many occasions,are later remembered with laughter.11。

Itearned her a large fortune．B. It made her rise to fame overnight．C. It didn’t enjoy much success．D. It laid a solid foundation for her career．．（2）How did de Mille feel about the great success of the musical Oklahoma!？________A. Relieved．B. Ashamed．C. Confused．D. Proud．．（3）Picasso and Frank Lloyd Wright were mentioned in the passage to suggest that Martha Graham________．A. was outstanding in visual arts and architectureB. enjoyed the same popularity as themC. had been influenced greatly by themD. was the most influential artist in her field．（4）Which of the following statements best represents Graham’s words in this passage？________A. Comparing with others prevents you from maintaining uniqueness．B. You should always keep yourself open to the urges that motivate you．C. Your action reveals the inner landscape， which is the soul of music．D. Choosing to be positive is going to determine how you live your life．（1）Compared to traditional houses， container houses are________．A. easier to maintainB. less expensive to buildC. more comfortable to live inD. more fashionable in style．（2）What can be learned about Amsterdam’s Keetwonen complex？________A. It is the first container city in the world．B. It’s equipped with modern facilities．C. It features a luxury and unique style．D. It includes living space and car parks．．（3）Which of the following is the best title for the poster________A. Recycled material for Ideal HomeB. Shipping Container Home ChallengesC. Home in a Steel BoxD. Housing Options and Solutions．On August 29th, as Hurricane Dorian tracked towards America’s east coast, Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, an electric﹣car maker, announced that some of his customers in the storm’s path would find that their cars had suddenly developed the ability to drive farther on a single battery charge． Like many modernvehicles, Mr．Musk’s products are best thought of as internet﹣connected computers on wheels． The cheaper models in Tesla’s line﹣up have parts of their batteries disabled by the car’s software in order to limit their range． At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporary access to the full power of their batteries．Mr．Musk’s computerized cars are just one example of a much broa der trend． As computers and connectivity become cheaper, it makes sense to bake them into more and more things that are not, inthemselves, computers, creating an “internet of things”．Such a world will bring many benefits． Consumers will get convenience, and products that can do things non﹣computerized versions cannot． Businesses will get efficiency, as information about the physical world that used to be uncertain becomes concrete and analyzable．In the long term, though, the most obvious effects will be in how the world works． Ever more companies will become tech companies; the internet will become everywhere． As a result, a series of unresolved arguments will spill over from the virtual world into the real one．Start with ownership． As Mr Musk showed, the internet gives firms the ability to stay connected to their products even after they have been sold, transforming them into something closer to services than goods． That has already made the traditional ideas of ownership unclear．When Microsoft closed its ebook store in July, for instance, its customers lost the ability to read titles they had bought （the firm offered refunds）． That shifts the balance of power from the customer to the seller．Virtual business models will ________ in the physical world． Tech firms are generally happy to move fast andbreak things． But you cannot release the beta version （测试版） of a fridge． Apple, a smartphonemaker, provides updates for its phones for only five years or so after their release; users of Android smartphones are lucky to get two． But goods such as washing machines or industrial machinery can have lifespans of a decade or more． Firms will need to work out how to support complicated computerised devices long after their original programmers have moved on．Data will be another flashpoint．For much of the internet the business model is to offer “free” services that are paid for with valuable user data, collected with consent （同意） that is half﹣informed at best． In the virtual world, arguments about what should be tracked, and who owns the resulting data, can seem airy and theoretical． In the real one, they will feel more urgent．Predicting the consequences of any technology is hard ﹣ especially one as universal as computing． The emergence of the consumer internet, 25 years ago, was met with starry﹣eyed optimism． These days the internet’s faults dominate the headlines． But the people have the advantage of having lived through the first internet revolution ﹣ which should give them some idea of what to expect．（1）From the passage we can tell that Tesla can________．A. drive faster than usual in extreme weatherB. adjust the range of its battery powerC. charge the battery at the tap of a keyboardD. operate when the battery is fully drained．（2）Which of the following is NOT an example of the “unresolved arguments” mentioned in the passage？________A. Early adopters of certain apps find that they ceased to work after the firm lost interest．B. The insurance company uses dat a from fitness trackers to adjust customers’ premiums（保费）．C. Computerized machinery can’t predict its breakdowns or schedule preventive maintenance．D. A high﹣tech fridge company restricts its customers from repairing their fridges themselves．．（3）The underlined word ________ probably means________ in this context．A. boomB. conflictC. vanishD. expand．（4）This passage is mainly about________．A. how the world will change as computers spread into everyday objectsB. the adoption of electric vehicles and the possible problems to expectC. what should be done to prevent the breakdown of computerized devicesD. different views on the current application of Internet Technology．Section 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.A． Creativity is associated with many factors．B． Rather， they should work to expand， grow， and exercise it．C． Without creativity， we are indistinguishable from the masses．D． However， creativity can be acquired at any age．E．It’s hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from．F． Everyone has the capacity to be creative．Essential Creativity In a recent survey in America， 62% of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace than they had anticipated it would be when they were in school．（1）________ It is of course possible to scan people’s brains and see which par ts are firing when an idea is created，but rather more romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be identified． Creativity is what comesto you when you least expect it． You cannot demand creativity from your mind， nor can you demand that you are creative in a particular way．One misconception about creativity is that it is reserved for a few special people． This is not true．（2）________ Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply isn’t true： creativity extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature．Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones who make the greatest changes in the world． Consequently， it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity．（3）________ Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense． They need to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful．It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing creativity when this is the most important time in history for it． It used to be that people worked hard， went to university， and got a job． That wasit． But now， everyone works hard， goes to university ﹣and there aren’t the jobs out there that guarantee a safe future．（4）________ We can use it to set ourselves apart， and channel it to face the challenges of the future．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 Decline of BiodiversityBiodiversity is the range of living things in an area． During the last 100 years， scientists have seen a great declinein biodiversity． Some studies show that one in eight plant species is threatened with extinction． It is estimated that 140，000 species of plants are lost each year．Most of the extinctions in the last thousand years are due to humans． The main cause is the chopping down of tropical rain forests． Most of this destruction is done to create pasture （牧场） for beef cattle． Many rainforests in Central and South America have been burnt down to make way for cattle farming， which supplies beef to therest of the world． It is estimated that for each pound of beef produced， 200 square feet of rainforest are destroyed． The forests are also cut down to make wheat for bread as well as fruit for human consumption．The introduction of exotic （外来的） species is another threat． The latest research from the University of Southampton has revealed the impact of exotic species upon native wildlife， which could potentially lead to the extinctions of local species． When exotic species are introduced to a place， they try to establish a self﹣sustaining population． While the local species，which haven’t had a chance to evolve， often lack defenses and thus cannot compete against the exotic species．The disappearance of certain food animals can be disastrous not only to larger animals but also to the entire ecosystem． It is these small creatures which convert much of the energy in an ecosystem from unusable（i．e． microscopic plants， decaying matter， etc．） into usable forms， namely their bodies． Their absence makes most energy and nutrients trapped in forms unusable to other species． This makes the environment less suitable for healthy living， and less capable of producing resources that humans need．V. TranslationDirections： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets.我家门⼝的街道成天车⽔马龙．（crowd）________中国⼥排成功卫冕世界冠军，给全国⼈民以极⼤的⿎舞．（succeed）________本次“城市公共交通周”的活动旨在提⾼公众节能环保的意识．（aim）________我实在想不通为什么⼤伙⼉都觉得他这个⼈⾼不可攀，我印象中他挺和蔼可亲的．（strike）________VI.
