Combing the beach for shells, sea glass, or colorful rocks is a leisure activity enjoyed by many. Some even use metal detectors to find buried treasure or other objects. Only the lucky few have ___31___ a message in a bottle that was dropped off by the tide. The tradition of putting a letter to an unknown recipient into a bottle and throwing it into the ocean has an interesting past.

Tonya was on a family outing when she noticed the antique glass bottle in the sand and thought it would make a nice ___33___. While she was cleaning the sandy gin bottle, a rolled up paper tied with a ___34___ fell out. The damp page was a message written in German and dated June 12, 1886. According to official documents from the German sailing vessels, Paula, a crew member tossed the bottle overboard a(n) ___35___ 950 km off the coast of Western Australia. Further research authenticated（验证）the letter, which had been sent afloat 132 years ago and is the oldest message in a bottle ever ___36___.

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.
A star athlete stopped by my office and she was eaten up by self-criticism after committing a few errors during a weekend m atch. “I’m at peak __41__ and I practise hard. How is this happening?” This student, like many I teach, believes she should be
able to __42__ the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard w ork.
I study and write about resilience（复原力）, and I’m noticing a(n) __43__ increase in students like this athlete. When they win, they feel powerful and smart. When they fall short of what they imagine they should ___44___, however, they are crushed by self-blame.
We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from ___45___. But there is something else at play among the most advantaged in particular: a ___46___ promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists have sourced this p henomenon to a misapplication of “mind-set” research, which has found that praising children for ___47___ will increase academic performance. Developed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, mind-set education has spread across classrooms worldwide. But a 2018 analysis found that while praising hard work over ability may benefit economically disadvantaged students, it does not ___48____ help everyone.
One possible explanation comes from Nina Kumar, who argued in a research paper last year that for teens in wealthy, pressure-cooker communitie s, “It is not a ___49___ of motivation and perseverance that is the big problem. ___50____, it is unhealthy perfectionism and difficulty with backing off when they should, when the fierce drive for achievements is over the top.” This can ___51___ physical and emotional stress. In a 2007 study, psychologists Gregory Miller determined that adolescent girls who refused to give up the ___52___ goals showed elevated levels of CRP, a protein that serves as a marker of systemic inflammation（炎症）linked to diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions.
The cruel reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. This knowledge comes early to underrepresented minorities whose experience of discrimination（歧视）and inequality teaches them to ___53___ what is, for now, largely beyond their control to change. Yet for others, the belief that success is always within their grasp is a setup. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their w ay, we should all question a culture that has taught them that how they perform for others is more important than what ___54___ inspires them and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. We should be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of disappointing us when we least ___55___ it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.

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)
David Miles, an Australian inventor has been accused of cheating desperate farmers by charging up to $50,000 Australian dollars for delivering rain on demand without so much as explaining the technology behind his business.
On the official Miles Research website, Miles explains that in the 1990’s he realized that it was possible to influence weather patterns by creating a bridge between ‘the present’ and a ‘near-future event’ in the physical space-time continuum. He found that by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, messy weather system approaching from the future could be eased.
While somewhat fascinating, Miles’ explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers. He makes references to famous but debatable concepts like “the butterfly effect”. “We were advised against patenting because it’s basically exposing how it works. There are a lot of big companies that invest in hunting out patents,” Miles said. “I understand the doubts, the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics. If we did that, we’ll lose it, it will be taken up as a national security interest and it’ll then be weaponized.”
Miles’ claims raised sus picions for obvious reasons, including a since-deleted section of his company website, which claimed that his technology used “electromagnetic scalar waves”, which scientists say don’t even exist.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success based – if it doesn’t rain, they don’t get paid.
“Consumers signed the agreement that if by the end of June they receive 100mm, they pay $50,000, if they only receive 50mm, they would only pay $25,000. Anything under half, we don’t want to be paid,” Miles said of a handful of Wimmera farmers who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.
Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that he was quite happy with the results.
56. David Miles claims to be capable of ________.
A. influencing the weather system
B. predicting the future events
C. reducing the atmospheric temperature
D. easing the gravitational energy
57. ACCC issued warning against doing business with Miles because ________.
A. he charged too much for the services provided
B. there was no solid science to back up his technology
C. his practice was a threat to national security interest
D. he didn’t officially patent his technology with ACCC
58. According to Miles, how much will he be paid if the farmers receive 15mm of
rain?
A. $50,000.
B. $25,000.
C. $12,500.
D. $0.
59. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Miles needed safer facilities for his business.
B. Miles brought about good crops as expected.
C. Miles wasn’t discouraged by the critics.
D. Miles was arrested by the local police.

(C)
How and why, roughly 2 million years ago, early human ancestors evolved large brains and began fashioning relatively advanced stone tools, is one of the great mysteries of evolution. Some researchers argue these changes were brought about by the invention of cooking. They point out that our bite weakened around the same time as our larger brains evolved, and that it takes less energy to absorb nutrients from cooked food. As a result, once they had mastered the art, early chefs could invest less in their digestive systems and thus invest the resulting energy savings in building larger brains capable of complex thought. There is, however, a problem with the cooking theory. Most archaeologist s (考古学家) believe the evidence of controlled fire stretches back no more than 790,000 years.
Roger Summons of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a solution. Together with his team, he analyzed 1.7 million-year-old sandstones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous for the large number of human fossils（化石）that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sandstones themselves have previously yielded some of the world’s earliest complex hand axes -- large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are associated with Homo erectus（直立人）. Creating an axe by repeatedly knocking thin pieces off a raw stone in order to create two sharp cutting edges requires a significant amount of planning. Their appearance is therefore thought to mark an important moment in intellectual evolution. Trapped inside the Olduvai sandstones, the researchers found distinctive but unusual biological molecules（分子）that are often interpreted as biomarkers for heat-tolerant bacteria. Some of these live in water between 85°C and 95°C. The molecules’ presence su ggests that an ancient river within the Gorge was once fed by one or more hot springs.
Dr. Summons and his colleagues say the hot springs would have provided a convenient “pre-fire” means of cooking food. In New Zealand, the Maori have traditionally cooked food in hot springs, either by lowering it into the boiling water or by digging a hole in the hot earth. Similar methods exist in Japan and Iceland, so it is plausible, if difficult to prove, that early humans might have used hot springs to cook meat and roots. Richard Wrangham, who devised the cooking theory, is fascinated by the idea. Nonetheless, fire would have offered a distinct advantage to humans, once they had mastered the art of controlling it since, unlike a hot spring, it is a transportable resource.
63. All of the following statements can support the cooking theory EXCEPT ________.
A. cooking enabled early humans to invest less in digestive system
B. cooking enabled early humans to devote more energy to building big brains
C. our brain became larger around the same time our digestive system weakened
D. the controlled fire wasn’t mastered until about 790,000 years ago
64. The presence of biological molecules was important because ________.
A. they suggested a possible means of cooking without fire
B. they cast light on how early Homo erectus lived
C. they provided a convenient way of studying stone tools
D. they made studies of pre-historic cultures possible
65. The underlined word “plausible” probably means ________.
A. noticeable
B. applicable
C. reasonable
D. affordable
66. What may be the conclusion of the study by Dr. Summons and his colleague?
A. Early humans were capable of making complex stone tools.
B. Hot springs help explain how human brains got so big.
C. Homo erectus were adaptable to tough and complex territories.
D. Human brains are highly advanced as shown by their size.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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
Of all human activities, few are so readily credited with enhancing the power of the mind as going for a good walk. However, those who assume that strolling along at a gentle pace is the symbol of superior intellect should think again, scientists have said. __________67_________
Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable understanding of older people’s mental capability, as it is increasingly recognized that pace is associated with not only muscular strength but also the central nervous system. __________68_________The relationship was so obvious, however, that the US scientists now say walking tests could be used to provide an early indication of dementia（痴呆）.
Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study revealed an average difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and the fastest walkers at
the age of 45. Thi s reflected both the participants’ natural walking speed and the pace they achieved when asked to walk as fast as they could. __________69_________ Actually, slower walkers were shown to have “speeded aging” on a 19-measure scale devised by researchers, and their lungs, teeth and immune systems tended to be in worse shape than the people who walked faster.
The 904 New Zealand men and women who were tested at 45 were tracked from the age of three, each undergoing multiple tests over the years. The long-term data collection enabled researchers to establish that kids with lower IQ scores, lower linguistic ability and weaker emotional control tended to have slower walking speeds by middle age.__________70__________.
The research team said genetic factors may explain the link between walking speed, brain capacity and physical health or that better brain health might promote physical activity, leading to better walking speed. Some of the differences in health and intellect may be the result of lifestyle choices individuals have made.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: 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 Psychology of Spending
Dr. Thomas Gilovich, psychology professor at Cornell University, has studied the psychology of spending for over 20 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 fi rst, 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.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Local educational authorities have stopped the use of electronic headbands at a primary school in Jinhua, Zhejiang province. The school used the headbands fixed with devices to detect brain activity to ensure students concentrated during classes. The headbands, according to the manufacturers, are able to measure brain states such as depth of focus, relaxation and deep thinking. According to the product instructions, teachers and parents can be informed if students are focused on their studies through different colors shown on the headbands.
The products have been sold in 15 countries including the United States, Spain, Mexico and Brazil. So far, thousands of headbands, each priced 3,499 yuan at its Taobao online shop, have been sold in China.
However, the headbands had aroused heated discussions among parents and education professionals. Some parents welcomed the idea, for they thought the headband would help train and monitor their children’s good studying habits and thus help wearers improve their study scores. Hans, a professor of childhood development said that a person’s intellectual capability is determined by the activity of the whole brain. The headband, which only detects part of the brain, is far from enough. Besides, he raised doubts about the accuracy of the data collected and worried that the devices might pose extra annoyances and burdens to students.
Questions:
11. Why was the use of electronic headbands banned? (D)
12. What is the feature of the headband, according to the manufacturer? (C)
13. What is the main concern of professor Hans? (B)
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
There are thought to be as many as three million sunken ships littering the seabed. David Mearns has taken on the job of tracking them down. Mearns developed his passion for the sea at an early age. When he went to university, he chose to study marine biology. His studies gave him a good understanding of the technology used to scan the underwater landscape, and he went on to work with the US navy, hunting for crashed aeroplanes.
The first shipwreck Mearns investigated was for a criminal case. A cargo ship
went down in 1977, killing six of its crew. Mearns found the wreck of the ship in 1990, and helped the police punish the dishonest businessman responsible for planting the bomb that sank it. That early taste of success inspired a lifelong hunger for wreck-hunting. He's gone on to find no fewer than 23 other ships thought lost at the bottom of the sea.
Many of his most important finds dated back to the Second World War. In 2001, he discovered HMS Hood, a British battleship, that was sunk by a German destroyer in 1941. That was a sad and serious moment. When it sank, all but three of the 1,418 people aboard were lost.
Exciting though it may be, Mearns takes his job seriously. He makes sure the lives lost in a shipwreck are remembered respectfully. That’s why his team always put a tablet on the wreck to leave a marker that those people haven't been forgotten. Questions:
14. What did Mearns major in at the university? (B)
15. How did Mearns help the police bring the businessman to justice? (C)
16. Which of the following is TRUE about Mearns and his career? (A)
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Hey, David! Are you good at complaining?
M: Of course not. I’m British. I never complain, even when I get terrible service. It’s just too embarrassing.
W: Well, you might be in a minority as it seems we British are complaining more than we used to. Do you know the oldest recorded complaint is on a stone tablet in the British Museum?
M: Really? What was the compliant about? Was it about the incorrect number of goats that were delivered after being bought at a market?
W: Well, good guess. But it was about the quality of silver that was supplied.
M: H ow come you know so much about complaint?
W: I recently listened to a BBC radio program about consumer affairs. Based on the survey by an organization called Institute of Customer service, public services, transport and telecoms are the areas that have most problems in terms of keeping the customers satisfied.
M: I think I know why. Public services usually don’t have enough money or enough staff, while telecommunication systems such as Internet connection are very complicated and sometimes go wrong.
W: Yes, and bad weather affects transport. Surprisingly, travel and entertainment appear to be performing well.
M: I wonder how people are making their complaints. Are modern methods taking over from the traditional letter or phone call?
W: Again based on the survey, the more traditional methods are still dominant with over 58% of complaints made by phone or by letter, though a small part of people do turn to social media.
M: I don’t think turning to social media is a good idea. It will only worsen the problem.
W: Most people seek media attention only when their complaint is not dealt with.
They use it as an escalation point.
M: That makes sense. Putting complaint on social media might force a company to deal with the complaint sooner.
W: Well, David. After all the talk about complaint, will you consider making a complaint if you have to in the future?
M: I seriously doubt it.
Questions:
17. What was the oldest complaint about? (B)
18. How did the woman know so much about complaint-related information? (A)
19. Which is true according to the survey by Institute of Customer service? (C)
20. What can be inferred about David’s attitude towards complaining? (D)

71. After studying the link between spending and happiness for years, Dr. Gilovich has found that experiences rather than possessions paid for will more likely bring long-lasting happiness. Firstly, activities can unite individuals, thus creating a feeling of closeness. Secondly, what we do rather than what we own shows our identity. Lastly, experiences whether good or bad, provide lasting fond memories. (59) 72．How much do you estimate the famous artist’s original painting costs?
73. The holiday intended to relax myself turned out to be a disaster.
74. How brave the unarmed young man was to stop (prevent) the criminal from
running away from the scene at the risk of his own life!
75. In today’s society where temptations and distractions are everywhere，
self-discipline is one of the most important qualities, if not the most important, for/as it contr ibutes effectively to/ promotes/enhances a man’s progress and development.
状元考前提醒 拿到试卷：熟悉试卷 刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页， 有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易 题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。 答题策略 答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。 2. 先小后大。先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又 复杂的大题。3. 先局部后整体。把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一 步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。 立足中下题目，力争高水平 考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。 确保运算正确，立足一次性成功 在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次 性成功。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。试题 做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规 范。 要学会“挤”分 考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。 检查后的涂改方式要讲究 发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。考试期间遇到这些事，莫慌乱！

【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV.
