Filmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks that they buy in cinemas, according to the Food Standard Agency.

Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made __41__, the nutrition inspector said.

Tim Smith, chief executive of the agency, told The Times that cinemas should help to deal with the country's overweight __42__.

―There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free, but that is not the case. It is a __43__ to us,‖he said. ―Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale.‖He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek __44__ to put calorie counts on all their menus.

A trial scheme(试行方案)with 21 food companies took place last summer, and __45__ are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realized the number of calories in a product.

A consultation(征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr Smith is already planning the second drive for American-style calorie counts and is __46__ to win support from cinemas and other entertainment places, from football grounds to concert halls.

Government __47__ suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight. If trends are not __48__, this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two thirds of children by 2050, putting them at __49__ risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

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.

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another __50__, subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble(绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his __51__; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to __52__ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In __53__ these and other research findings, two themes are __54__: we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think __55__ assistance.

In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. __56__, in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the

airport. The application was ready to be __57__, but had apparently been ―lost‖. The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very __58__ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to __59__ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.

The degree of __60__ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) __61__ T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.

Whether a person receives help depends in part on the ―worth‖of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone __62__ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for __63__ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be __64__ rather than drunk.

(A)

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.

White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

65. When Phil White returned from his trip, he _____.

A. broke the world record

B. collected money for Oxfam

C. destroyed several bikes

D. traveled about 1,300 hours

66. What does the word ―epic‖ in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

67. During his journey around the world, Phil White _____.

B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold

C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia

D. had a team of people who travelled with him

(C)

Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.

Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same ―fight-or-flight‖ reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (―fight‖), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (―flight‖). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called ―tend and befriend.‖That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (―tend‖), and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (―befriend‖).

Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that ―animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.‖ While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.

In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.

The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on

her children and their needs.

The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.

72. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to _____.

A. turn to friends for help

B. solve a conflict calmly

C. find an escape from reality

D. seek comfort from children

73. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?

A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.

B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.

C. Both animals and people have high level of oxytocin.

D. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.

74. What can be learned from the passage?

A. Male hormones help build up the body‘s resistance to stress.

B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.

C. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.

D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.

75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. How men and women get over stress

B. How men and women suffer from stress

C. How researchers overcome stress problems

D. How researchers handle stress-related disorders

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.

76.

Learning to read early has become one of those indicators—in parents' minds at least—that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.

77.

Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.

78.

Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the ―whole language‖ method and the ―phonic‖method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a ―p‖and another a ―b‖. Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.

79.

You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start ―ear training‖ their child by playing rhyme games. This develops the child‘s ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.

80.

Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child‘s learning disabilities.

Section D

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人)is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.

This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent to 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.

Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents‘daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

81. ―This pattern of age segregation‖refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves from __________________________________________________________________.

82. Besides changes in the workplace, ________________________________________are the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.

83. When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?

84. How do adolescent peer groups differ from childhood peer groups?

附上海市教育考试院试卷评析

题材多样注重能力题目灵活——2012年上海高考英语卷特点2012年高考英语卷的特点主要表现如下:

1. 语篇题材、体裁多样,语言地道,有利于全面真实地测试考生的语言能力

2012年高考英语卷所用素材均取材于英美人真实的生活场景,所用语言地道真实,使考试所用语言和以英语为母语的人们的日常生活、工作的语言相一致,从而能更真实地测试出考生语言能力。在试题的选材上力求内容新颖,信息量大,主题涉及广,以求全面考核考生的语言能力。考卷中语篇的主题包含了教育、心理、健康、语言学习、人与自然等诸多领域;体裁包括故事、广告、报道、研究报告等等不同的文体,使擅长于阅读不同题材或体裁的考生均有展现自己能力的机会。

2. 难点分布合理,体现考核的公平性

今年的高考英语试卷除注意难题和容易题的比例,以及各语篇之间的坡度外,还特别注意难点的分布。除语法继续坚持对“基础、常见、实用”的语言知识的考核原则外,其它大题都有一、二个较难的题目。把难题分散到各大题,让能力发展不均衡的考生,不因为某一方面的缺陷而大量失分;同时也为在听、说、读、写方面有不同特长的考生提供了展示自己能力的地方,有助于实现考核的公平性原则。

3. 注重语言运用能力的考核,有利于素质教育

2012年高考英语卷十分注重语言运用能力的考核。如阅读的第二篇文章介绍的是如何使用悉尼公交的一种乘车证的广告材料。每个到悉尼的旅游者都能拿到这样的广告材料,但要能购买、使用这种乘车证,首先要看懂广告。今年的试卷选用这类材料是希望考生能把平时

学到知识运用到现实生活中去,做到如课程标准所要求的那样,能用英语做事。

今年完形填空所要选择单词的词义并不生僻,但考生必须在读懂全文或段落主要内容的基础上才能选出正确答案。这样的试题旨在引导考生重视理解语篇的主要意思和在语篇中综合运用词汇的能力,逐渐改变考生只关注孤立的词义,而忽视文章对词义影响的学习方法。

此外,今年的词汇题也强调在理解文章基础上,综合运用词汇知识的能力。

4. 写作题目灵活,给予考生充分的发挥余地

2012年的作文要求考生根据两幅图片写一篇日记。图片上画的是一个小女孩的两堂不同的绘画课,题目的要求是描述这两幅画,并谈谈自己的感想。考生既可以从兴趣对学习重要性的角度去描写这两堂绘画课,也可以从培养创造性这一视角阐述自己的感想。题目虽提出了文章的一个大框架,但并没规定一定要怎么写,这给考生留下很大的想象空间,为考生展示自己写作的能力提供了用武之地。

总而言之,2012年英语卷在考察语言知识的基础上,适应语言测试的潮流,也注重考核语言的运用和交际能力;通过丰富的考核内容,为不同水平的考生提供了发挥的平台,全卷视野开阔,有一定的深度和广度。试卷的难度总体与近年持平,保持中等偏易。

W: I guess he just has too much ails on his mind with that new job.

Q: What can we learn about Tom?

10. M: I didn‘t have any trouble in f inding accommodation in Britain.

W: According to my experience, it sounds too good to be true.

Q: what does the woman mean?

Passage 1:

Well, I own a small data processing company, in which I employ about eight to ten workers. And the point I want to make has to do with trust. I know it‘s poss ible to force people to be 100% efficient. But I think when you do that, you lose confidence and trust. I let my employees use our equipment and make personal phone calls. They are more than welcome to decide what is right and wrong. Because I think you can‘t run a company by just giving orders to robots and watching them like big brother, right? I think you have to trust people and give them a little freedom. And also, as far as phone calls and all that go, I want my people to call home and check on their children and know their children are safe and sound. As a result, I have devoted employees who are willing to go that extra mile and I can honestly say they show up to work smiling. So I get more satisfaction and rewards by trusting my employees than by suspecting them of doing something wrong.

Questions:

11. Which of the following does the speaker allow his employees to do?

12. What result does the speaker expect to see under his management?

13. What does the speaker consider important in running a small company?

Passage 2

Questions14-16 are based on the following passage:

The roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which followed the American revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to Canada. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within 50 years, the population of upper Canada had reached 100 thousand, mainly people from the United States. In the east, the Atlantic provinces had been settled by English speakers as early as the 15th century, but even today, these areas contain less than ten per cent of the population, so that they have only a limited role in the development of Canadian English. In Quebec, the majority of people use French as a mother tone. Here English and French exist together but uneasily. Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America, and is often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly, there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.

Questions:

14. Why did many Americans leave for Canada after the revolution?

15. What can we learn about people in the Atlantic provinces?

16. What conclusion can be drawn about Canadian English from this passage?

Section C
