Many newspapers have an advice page.So does the school newspaper of Xinhan Middle School.Angela Wang is the editor responsible for the page.Students like to write to her for advice.

Dear Angela,

I am having an issue with my Chemistry teacher.She is super nice to my classmates but behaves completely differently towards me. She blames me for things I didn’t do.What should I do?

Mike Dear Mike,

In a situation like this,you’d better speak to the teacher directly.This way,you can understand why she has a different attitude towards you.Our personal bias(偏见)might influence our thoughts about other people.Make sure the way you feel the teacher treats you isn’t influenced by any bias.

Angela

Dear Angela,

My parents and I have been fighting a lot recently.I’m16,but they still treat me like a kid.My mom calls me20times if I don’t get home before7p.m.I tried talking to them about this,but they never change.What can I do?

Jim Dear Jim,

Being angry and standing against your parents will not solve the problem.Try communicating with them from their point of view.Make a list of things you wish to do and another list of your parents’possible concerns about them.Let your parents know you have learned to be responsible for yourself.

Angela

Dear Angela,

I’m16and I want to leave school this year.My parent say it is too early and that I should be trying to get into high school.I want to work at McDonald’s.Then I can start earning money to buy things.

Jane Dear Jane,

Your parents are right.It would be better if you can complete as much of your education as possible.Real independence won’t come from earning150yuan a week.It will come from the qualifications(资历,学历)and experience that you would gain by staying at school for a couple more years.

D.Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)

Many of the world’s successful people were once failures.Here are the stories of a few of them.

Michael Jordan(born1963)is one of the greatest basketball players of all time.However,he himself admits that it

hasn’t been easy.In a famous advertisement for Nike,he says,“I have missed more than9,000shots in my career.I

have lost almost300games.On26occasions I have been entrusted(委托)to take the game winning shot,and I

missed.I have failed over and over again in my life.And that is why I succeed.”

Albert Einstein(1879-1955)won the Nobel Prize in physics in1921.However,he wasn’t always

considered a“genius”.He didn’t speak until he was four,and couldn’t read until he was seven.His teachers and parents

thought he was slow,and he was expelled(开除)from school.He later famously said,“Success is failure in progress”

Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)was one of America’s greatest leaders,taking the country through the Civil

War(美国南北战争).However,his life was never easy.He started numerous business that failed,he went

bankrup(t破产)twice and was defeated in26campaigns(竞选)for public office.He later said,“My great concern is

not whether you have failed,but whether you are content with your failure.”

J.K.Rowling(born1965)is the author of the hugely successful Harry Potter books,and one of the richest

women in the world.But before publishing the books,she was penniless,depressed and trying to raise a child on her

own.In a speech at Harvard in2008,she said,“I had failed so greatly.After a short-lived marriage,I was jobless,a

lone parent,and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain,without being homeless.The fears that my parents had had for me,and that I had had for myself,had both come to pass,and by every usual standard,I was the biggest failure I knew.”

So you see,just keep going!

2017 学年第二学期奉贤区调研测试高三语文试卷(2018.4) (完卷时间150 分钟,满分150 分) 一、积累运用(10 分) 1.按要求填空。(5 分) (1),铁马秋风大散关。(陆游《书愤》) (2)成语“任重道远”出自《·泰伯》:“,任重而道远”。 (3)古人诗词中常借用虚拟之景表达情感,如秦观《踏莎行》中的“雾失楼台,月迷津渡”。柳永的《雨霖铃》中与之手法相似的诗句是“,”。 2.学习中遇到困难止步不前时,下列名言用以自勉不恰当的一项是()。(2 分) A.锲而不舍,金石可镂。——荀子《劝学》 B.不登高山,不知天之高也。——荀子《劝学》 C.譬如为山,未成一篑,止,吾止也。——《论语·子罕》 D.善学者假人之长,以补其短。——《吕氏春秋·孟夏纪》 3. 填入下面语段空白处的语句,最恰当的一项是()。(3 分) 我们在以理性为武器批判一切之前,是否先应对理性本身进行批判?我们在用武器批判一切之前,是否先对武器本身进行批判?我们在使用工具之前是否应先研究工具?理性是什么?它的内容和界限是什么?这种,就是哲学思考的根本问题。 A.对理性的思想,对理性的批判 B.对理性的批判,对思想的批判 C.对理性的思想,对思想的思想 D.对理性的批判,对批判的思想 二、阅读(70 分) (一)阅读下文,完成第4-9 题。(17 分) ①一般印象中,人类学家有点像是独行者,他在一个遥远的地方,去经历着不同文化给自己的磨难。所以,李亦园先生说了这么一段话:“人类学的研究工作有一大特色,那就是要到研究的地方去做深入的调查探索,无论是蛮荒异域还是穷乡僻壤都要住过一年半载,并美其名叫‘参与观察’。”因而,人类学家的生涯,与孤独寂寞分不开。人类学家要备尝田野的孤独寂寞,是因为田野工作引起的文化冲击或文化震撼“经常使你终身难忘,刻骨铭心”。人类学家不仅要承受孤独寂寞和文化震撼,还会时不时陷入一种难以自拔的困境。马林诺夫斯基在田野中写下的《严格意义上的日记》,有这么一段话对自己的“迷糊状”做了生动的自白:4月7日(1918年)。我的生日。我还是带着照相机工作,到夜幕降临,我简直已筋疲力尽。傍晚我与拉斐尔聊天,谈到特洛布里安德岛人的起源和图腾制度。……我困惑,我陷入到了那里的生活方式之中。所有一切都被阴影笼罩,我的思想不再有自己的特征了。 要经历冷酷的田野生活,他的日记给人以“羌笛何须怨杨 ②像马林诺夫斯基这样的人类学家,大凡都 ... 柳,春风不度玉门关”之感。从一个角度看,他们成为人类学家,与他们遭受的磨难有直接的关系。马林诺夫斯基之所以是马林诺夫斯基,是因为他离开了家园,离开了波兰和英国,到蛮荒的特里布恩德岛;费孝通之所以是费孝通,是因为他离开了家乡,离开了自己的学院,偕同妻子双双去了大瑶山……为什么这些人类学家非要这样实践他们的人生?要把他们的青春耗费在遥远的穷乡僻壤?马林诺夫斯基在自己的日记里,忠实地表达了作为一个平常人的困惑,他面对过的压抑、无聊、无所适从,也是其他人类学家面对过的。然而,从事实地研究的人类学家坚信,田野生涯里的种种忧郁,不是没有价值的,相反,它们正是特殊的人类学理解能力的发挥。 ③做一个人类学家,要培养一种“离我远去”的能力,到一个自己不习惯的地方,体会人的生活面貌。

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.

Time to End Loneliness US author Henry Rollins once wrote: "Loneliness adds beauty to lift. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better."Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems togo out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that(21) . (inspire) byloneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme. In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Insteadit's a "giant evil" that's become a serious problem in the country. On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as thecountry's very first "Minister for Loneliness".
