In 1791 the French nation, in the midst of a revolution, wished to break with the past, especially with those 41 of it which they considered illogical and useless. One of those was the 42 system of weights and measures in use. Not only was the system clearly complicated, but it also varied widely from place to place. So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system.
In 43 the new system, the French began by setting up a unit of distance equal to one forty millionth part of the earth’s circumference (周长).But 44 later measurements showed that the unit designed was not exactly that part, but they 45 to use it. (Today the unit is
defined simply as the distance between two marks on a metal bar kept in suburb of Paris). The unit is the meter and the system of measurements 46 on this unit is the metric (米制的) system, the system today used by scientists all over the world.
The metric system is built in 47 of ten, Greek prefixes showing multiples and Latin prefixes showing fractions. The Greeks had no word for a number larger than ten thousand and the Romans had none for a number larger than one thousand, but the system was 48 by using less specific words; for 49 mega meter (one million meters) comes from a Greek word that means simply “large”.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify with a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 50 of that parent. The things parents do and say—and the 51 they do and say to them—therefore s trongly influence a child’s 52 . However, parents must at all times 53 like the type of person they want their child to become.
A parent’s actions 54 affect the self-image that a child forms
55 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their parents will likely learn to see themselves in a 56 way. Children who observe chiefly 57 qualities in their parents will have difficulty seeing positive qualities in themselves. Children may 58 their
self-image, however, as they become increasingly 59 by peer group standards.
Isolated events, even dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a 60 effect on a child’s behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established 61 and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parent’s or a
parent’s early 62 . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a 63 of rejection or punishment. In the same way, all children are not influenced at all by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. As in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 64 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.
50. A. informative B. characteristic C. comprehensive D. individual
51. A. gesture B. expression C. way D. extent
52. A. behavior B. words C. mood D. reactions
53. A. behave B. belong C. become D. follow
54. A. regardless B. nevertheless C. also
D. anyhow
55. A. despite B. besides C. including D. through
56. A. peculiar B. positive C. particular
D. similar
57. A. negative B. cheerful C. various D. complex
58. A. reconstruct B. regulate C. survive D. continue
59. A. dominated B. influenced C. controlled D. occupied
60. A. temporary B. progressive C. short-term D. permanent
61. A. performances B. attitudes C. arguments
D. achievements
62. A. death B. rewards C. suggestion D. teaching
63. A. sign B. symbol C. signal D. model
64. A. result B. effect C. scale D. cause
Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after th at, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my husband with a good steady job—these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
65. Why did the writer let the children in?
A. She showed great pity on them.
B. She had old papers to sell.
C. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast.
D. She wanted them to see how rich she was.
66. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because ________.
A. she saw that the lady’s room was comfortable
B. she saw the cups matched the saucers
C. the writer’s slipcovers were very new
D. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry
67. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ____________.
A. how much money you have had
B. how you feel about your life
C. how you have helped others
D. what job your husband is doing
68. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a
while to ___________.
A. show her husband that someone had come
B. remind her that she had helped two children
C. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood
D. remind her how life should be
(B)

(C)
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns award leadership to one or both of
the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment（招聘）.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce dependable evidence that there is any cate gory of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, practically any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to decrease tension and conflict among them.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discipline group members who restrict attainment(达到) of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
72. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The problems faced by leaders.
B. How leadership differs in small and large groups.
C. How social groups determine who will lead them.
D. The role of leaders in social groups.
73. Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. A person who is an effective leader of a group may not be an effective one in another group.
B. Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
C. A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D. Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
74. In mentioning “natural leaders” in the second paragraph, the author
is making the point that ______.
A. few people qualify as “natural leaders”
B. there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist
C. “natural leaders” are easily accepted by the members of a group
D. “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics
75. The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on ______.
A. ensuring harmonious relationships
B. sharing responsibility with group members
C. identifying new leaders
D. achieving a goal
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Corn Dollies.
B. Celebrations in churches.
C. A big meal called a harvest supper.
D. Thanksgiving ceremonies and celebrations in England.
E. History of Harvest Festival.
F. When is Harvest Festival?
76.
In England, we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times. We celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as “Harvest Festival”, usually during the month of September. Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them. This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate.
77.
Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This moon is the full moon which falls in the month of September, at or around the time of the Autumnal Equinox, about Sept. 23. Unlike the USA and Canada, the UK does not have a national holiday for Harvest Festival.
78.
Harvest Festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the Harvest season on 1st August and was called Lammas, meaning “loaf Mass”. Farmers made loaves of bread from the new wheat crop and gave them to their local church. They were then used as the Communion bread during a special mass thanking God for the harvest. The custom ended when Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church, and nowadays we have harvest festivals at the end of the season.
79.
The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in churches as we know it today began in 1843, when the Reverend Robert Hawker invited parishioners to a special thanksgiving service for the harvest at his church at Morwenstow in Cornwall. Victorian hymns such as “We plough the field s and scatter”, “Come ye thankful people, come” and “All things bright and beautiful” helped popularise his idea of harvest festival and spread the annual custom of decorating churches with home-grown produce for the Harvest Festival service.
80.
The making of corn dollies goes back many thousands of years. It was a Pagan custom and evolved from the beliefs of the corn growing people who believed in the Corn Spirit. Corn dollies were made at Harvest time from the last sheaf of corn cut. The Corn Spirit was supposed to live or be reborn in the plaited straw ornament or corn doll and was kept until the following spring to ensure a good harvest. The corn dolly often had a place of honour at the harvest banquet table.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.
Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of the bladder (膀胱) and the oral cavity(口腔). Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males.
Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply. The majority of physicians and researchers consider these relationships proved to their satisfaction and say, “Give up smoking. If you don’t smoke, don’t start”. Some capable physicians and research workers—though their small number is reducing even further—are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They consider the increase in respiratory(呼吸的) diseases and various forms of cancer may possibly be explained by other factors in the complex human environment—atmospheric pollution, increased nervous stress, chemical substances in processed food, or chemical pesticides（杀虫剂）that are now being used by farmers in vast quantities to destroy insects and small animals. Smokers who develop cancer or lung diseases, they say, may also, by coincidence, live in industrial areas, or eat more canned food. Gradually, however, research is isolating all other possible factors and proving them to be statistically irrelevant. While all tobacco smoking affects life expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, nicotine consumption is not decreasing by the latter forms, and current research indicates relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat. Filters and low tar(焦油) tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only slightly reduce, not eliminate, the risks.
81. Male smokers can be more affected by smoking than female ones because _______________.
82.The author’s attitude towards smoking is
__________________________________________.
83. Does all the tobacco smoking affect life expectancy and health in the same level, and why?
84. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

2011年全国普通高等学校招生统一考试 上海英语试卷 第I卷(105分) I. Listening Comprehension II. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note How would you like to wear the same underwear (内衣裤) for weeks? Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as 41 as it sounds. Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide 42 resistance to dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials. The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the “lotus effect”. The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost 43 clean. By observing nature, scientists are 44 the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered. Because of this, some remarkable new products have been 45 . Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water. A special 46 on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain.
