AFailing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!The boardi ng school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people from all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doin g something, they are actually stopping themselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,”said Bruce.1. What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?A. To get the students involved in social activities.B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.C. To make the students study even harder.D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.2. During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________?A. taking risksB. l earning from others’ experiencesC. trying something newD. trying to entertain themselves3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.B. Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.C. The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.D. The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studie s do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans car e about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart tec hnology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.4. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused byB. be beneficial toC. make a difference toD. receive support from5. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. bdD.cd6. We can learn from the passage that___________.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.7.The passage mainly tells us___________.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out.D. robot pets are coming.CLee’s mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the age of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th National Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pian ist with Four Fingers” was released in June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”8. Which of the following can best describe Sun?A. stubborn and devotedB. impatient and strictC. enthusiastic and hardworkingD. honest and responsible9. What was probably in Lee’s mind when on the floor?A. Learning piano was too difficult for her.B. Life was unfair to her.C. She would try her best to learn piano.D. Her mother didn’t love her any more.10. When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?A. 1985B. 1992C. 2008D. 200711. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A 4-finger pianistB. Love between mother and daughterC. Learning pianoD. An abnormal girlDEvery year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a servic e they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.● Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy —or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.● Secure Your WiFiIt’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.● Use passwordsWhat you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.● Check the shopping securityTake care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.Don’t store information on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.12. This passage is mainly about ___________.A. ways of avoiding identity theftB. tips of freeing computers from virusesC. measures to ensure network securityD. steps to keep track of passwords13. To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.A. clear out everything in the systemB. make a random selection of networkC. get rid of potential spywareD. refresh the infected system14. According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be caused by ___________.A. the applications of antivirus programsB. the practice of using public WiFiC. the difficult access to passwordsD. the separate credit card for online shopping15. Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?A. Adopting a unique password for every website.B. Shopping online at reliable websites.C. Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols.D. Monitoring credit card by storing information online.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。

The speech should be for 20 minutes, is that right?W: Yes, but 20 minutes in total, including 5 minutes for questions. So you’ll only talk for 15 minutes.M: I won’t be able to say much in that time at all.W: That’s why you have to plan what you’re going to say carefully and make sure you only include the most important information. For instance, you won’t have time to give examples. But you could give some images that show examples, without spending time talking about them.M: That’s a good idea. And the audience can look at them while I talk. Thanks a lot for your help.(Text 8)M: Excuse me, Lily. Could you help me? You know we’ve got an essay to write about eating customs across the world?W: Yeah. We have to borrow some books, don’t we?M: Yes, but I missed the library training. Could you tell me something about the library?W: Sure, no problem. Let me tell you about the different parts of the library first. Here, you can see the main door in the north that leads into the hall. In the middle of the building, there is a big open PC zone. The stairs are on the left as you go in, and on the other side of the building there’s the library café. It’s a good place to study with friends.M: I really prefer to study alone.W: Oh, if you like studying in a quiet place, it’s better to go upstairs, to the silent zone. It’s just on the second floor.M: OK, thanks.(Text 9)M: Excuse me, do you mind if I sit here?W: Of course not, go ahead.M: Thanks. I’m on my way to Washington, and you?W: To San Francisco.M: Really? I think San Francisco is probably the most exciting place in the US.W: So do I. No other city has as many good restaurants or as much good music.M: Is San Francisco your hometown?W: No, I’m from a very small town in Pennsylvania. I don’t want to live there any longer. I don’t like small town life very much.M: En, neither do I really. But small towns have their advantages, like less traffic and so on.W: And friendly people. You know I’m beginning to feel homesick. By the way, where are you from?M: China.W: China? But you speak English just like a native speaker. I didn’t have any idea.(Text 10)M: Hi, Polly, this is James. I was just ringing to check that you’re still OK to come camping with me at the weekend and tell you what I’ve planned. My parents thought it was probably better not to go too far away because the weather hasn’t been very good this week and if it rains all the time we might want to come home! They suggested we go to the campsite just outside Guilsfield. That’s a village not far away. We can catch a bus to the village, and then we’ll walk from the bus stop to the campsite. It’s on a farm. I stayed there once, about five years ago, with my parents and we had a car then of course, but we’ll be OK. I’ve talked to my parents about what we need to take. Well, you’ve got a tent which doesn’t weigh too much, so can you bring that? There’s no need to bring food because we can eat at the farmhouse, but we need something for boiling water for drinks. I can bring something to cook on. And I’ll bring coffee and milk. We must get the tent up before dark on Friday, which is about eight. So we must meet at the bus stop at a quarter to four to catch the four o’clock bus. We’ll be there by five, then. I’m so excited! Call me back soon, bye.。

To save time at security, we encourage you to visit and apply for TSA pre-check.◆ 3. Notice for flights departing the European Union, Norway and SwitzerlandEU Regulation 261/2004 requires airlines to provide the following notice: If you are not allowed to board or if your flight is cancelled or delayed for at least two hours, ask at the check-in counter or boarding gate for the form, stating your rights, particularly about compensation and assistance.21．Travelers have to pay additional fees when they want to .A．change their reservation B．change travel dateC．receive their refund D．change to a dearer route22．What do we know from Notice 2?A．Security check possibly takes time in the USA.B．Security checkpoints are not available.C．Security check wastes a long time.D．Pre-check can easily be done online.23．Compensation can be asked for when .A．passengers refuse to board the planeB．passengers‟ trip is cancelled in advanceC．passengers‟ flight is delayed at least two hoursD．passengers miss their flight due to traffic jamBA taxi driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation.

Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver‟s seat, he mentioned that the neatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”“You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my position in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, helping people and feeling like I have done a full day‟s work and done it well. I thought about my personal strengths and ... wham! I became a taxi driver. One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to go above the customer‟s expectations!

In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it‟s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is brin ging AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it‟s really difficult to do.”As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly b egin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”28．What was the result of the match?A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1.

D．AI will make our future out of control.DHumans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures（核心体温）in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity（湿度）.In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia（低体温）, which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.32．Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?A．Because their bodies are unusually efficient.B．Because they experience different climates.C．Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.D．Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.33．What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?A．The dangerous effects of hypothermia.B．The change of body temperature.C．The survival of the Swedish woman.D．The regulating systems of natural temperature.34．People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature .A．higher than 34.4°C B．lower than 29.4°CC．between 40.6-41.7°C D．between 34.4-37°C35．What is the best title for the passage?A．Surviving in an ice trap B．Getting to know hypothermiaC．Adapting to climate extremes D．Changing core body temperature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。

She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.She says, "I know him since I was little. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You can not imagine how good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 18 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.”I called him and introduced myself. He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning, but as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. "What happened in Vietnam? " I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.He said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, "The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place." There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there. There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without husbands. Most of those who made it back have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery, but for me, that was and is TAL#NBSP pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing.The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love. In war, every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don't kill first you are going to get killed.(1) Why did the author's mother say "Those things are only memories"?A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret.B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.C. Because though her cousin was a good runner, he lost his leg during the war.D. Because time passed quickly and she can't remember much of the past days.(2) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war.B. It takes mental strength to survive the war.C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers,D. The author's uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.(3) Why did the author's uncle find the praises "TAL#NBSP pure nonsense"?A. Because praises came too late.B. Because no praise could make up for his loss.C. Because he didn't kill anyone during the war.D. Because too many praises seemed worthless.(4) What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Those who decide to fight should take part in the war by themselves.B. The veterans could stand any hardship in their life after the war.C. Those who made the war should be severely blamed.D. Firing first is the best policy on the battlefield.6、【来源】 2016年上海奉贤区高三二模第70~73题8分BLearn To Speak French With Rocket French!Who Wants to Learn to Speak French Fluently in the Shortest Possible Time?

How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands（腺体）and so the chemistry of her blood. Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must master, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.(1) Which of the following statements is not true?A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.B. It is totally impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D. There are no connection between mother's nervous systems and her unborn child's.(2) A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that.A. she is emotionally shockedB. she has a good knowledge of inheritanceC. she takes part in all kind of activitiesD. she sticks to studying(3) According to the passage, a child may inherit.A. everything from his motherB. a knowledge of mathematicsC. a rather general ability that we call intelligenceD. her mother's musical ability(4) Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Role of InheritanceB. An Unborn ChildC. Function of instinctsD. Inherited Talents五、Reading Comprehension: Section C8、【来源】 2016年上海奉贤区高三二模第76~80题8分Whether it is "women and children first" or "every man for himself" in a shipwreck may depend on how long it takes the ship to sink, researchers said recently.When the Lusitania was torpedoed（用鱼雷袭击）by a German ship in 1915, it sank in 18 minutes and the majority of the survivors were young men and women who responded immediately to their powerful survival instincts.But when the Titanic struck an iceberg in 1912, it took three hours to go down, allowing time for more civilized behavior to take control-and the majority of the survivors were women, children and people with young children.Economist Benno Torgler of the Queensland University of Technology in Australia and his colleagues studied the two sinkings in order to explore the economic theory that people generally behave in a "rational" and selfish manner. The two tragedies provided a "natural experiment" for testing the idea, because the passengers on the two ships were quite similar in terms of gender and wealth.The major difference was how long it took the ships to sink. They suggested that when people have little time to react, instincts may rule. When more time is available, social influences play a bigger role. But psychologists noted that many factors other than following social norms（社会规范）could come into play in a disaster, including an evolutionary urge to save the species, attachments that are formed between individuals during the event and the leadership of authority figures.The extent of altruism（利他主义）and how it occurs "is a very controversial issue," said Anthony R.Mawson, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He thinks the dominant response was attachment behavior.Psychologist Daniel Kruger of the University of Michigan, US thinks that the answer lies less in social norms and more in our evolutionary heritage. Human beings have a deep instinct to preserve our kind, he said, and that means "people are more likely to save those who have higher reproductive value, namely the young and women in child-bearing years".Kruger also stressed the importance of leadership during a disaster, noting that the Titanic's captain appeared to have greater control than the Lusitania's.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)(1) According to Benno Torgler, what led to the different results between the two shipwrecks?(2) Besides social norms and leadership, what other factors play a part in disaster behavior?(3) According to Daniel Kruger, Why do the young and women of child-bearing age take the priority to survive?(4) What does the passage mainly tell us?六、Translation9、【来源】 2016年上海奉贤区高三二模第81~86题22分翻译(1) 这家超市的特色是24小时服务。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask Siri if she‟s a woman. Go ahead: try it.

But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women? ____42____, we think of them as ladies too.In Old Norse(古挪威语), Siri translates to “a beautiful woman who leads you to victory”. We assignfemale pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold female turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionallysilly answers to our requests.If we prize gender diversity(多样性) in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound so____43____? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science. “Research indicatesthere‟s likely to be greater acceptance of female____44____,” says Karl MacDorman, a professor at IndianaUniversity who special izes in human computer interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips ofmale and female voices to people of both genders, then asked them to identify which they____45____. The researchers also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper,they reported that both women and men said female voices came across as warmer. ____46____, women evenshowed a subconscious preference for responding to females; men remained subconsciously neutral.Why the____47____?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements.For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choosetheone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)This is the opening of a short story in a town in the United States by Alison Randall …When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors. there was a crowd gathered, looking at thenew device on the wall with amazement like a crowd of wide-mouthed frogs. I had to get closer. and thatwas where being a girl that‟s skinnier than a wire fence came in handy. Fortunately, Frank, my twin ofeleven years, was just the same.“Come on.” I said, grabbing his hand, and we slid through the cracks between people until we spilledout in front.Finally I got a good look. It was fixed to the plaster(石灰板) next to the postmaster's window, theplace of honour usually reserved for the Wanted posters. Beady-eyed Zedekiah Smith, the bank robber,still hung there, but even he had been pushed aside for something more important.A telephone. The first one in town.“How‟s it work?” Noah Crawford called out. Noah‟s the best fix-it man around, and I could tell hewas dying to get his fingers on those shiny buttons.“Don‟t rightly know,” answer the postmaster, and he pulled hard at his beard as if it might tell him. “I do know the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles. It‟s sort of like the telegraph,only you hear words instead of dots and dashes.”“Ah,” the crowd whispered, and I felt my own mouth move along.I gazed at the shiny wood box and something happened inside me. Something--I can only guess--that might be like falling in love. The thought of talking into that box--of making my voice sail through wires in the sky--it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out.“Frank,” I whispered to my twin. “I have to use that telephone.”Five minutes later, Frank dragged me to Main Street, toward borne. “Liza--” he began, but I cuthim off. We two thought so much alike, I had Frank‟s questions answered before he even asked.56. People crowded in the post office because________.A. a new poster grabbed their attentionB. the postmaster was delivering a speechC. they were curious about the telephoneD. there was a wanted bank robber captured57. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Many people stared at the new device in open-mouthed amazement.B. The slight-figured twins managed to push to the front of the crowd.C. Even the best fix-it may in the town got no idea about the new device:D. The postmaster didn‟t know anything about how the telephone worked.58. By “…it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out.”, we get a clear picture of the girl‟s______.A. eagerness to use the telephoneB. fascination for the wood boxC. puzzlement over the strange soundD. determination to fly in the sky59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The twins‟ frustrating experiences in the town.B. A special assembly called in the local post office.C. People‟s reaction to the arrival of tile first telephone.D. A great celebration of the start of telephone service.(B)LUSH Welcome to the LUSH life!FRESH HANDMADE COSMETICS Our values are at the core of everything we do.

Cosmetics are among the essentials of our lives in modern society.C. Homegrown vegetables and fruit are natural and reliable sources of cosmetics.D. Social responsibilities of a company can go hand in hand with profit making.(C)Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it, “We're taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you're a failure," says the psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you‟ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you‟re no longer enti rely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you‟ve stopped making progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you're operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,”says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was publishedin 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through …imitation strategies‟ --an approach they compared to …trying on different clothes.‟ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.63.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence canExoplanets(外行星): The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and naturalphilosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solarsystem. The existence of extrasolar planets, orexoplanets,has long been discussed. 67Althoughnot the first exoplanet discovery. a planet near a sun-likestar was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kickedoff an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake.68 However, in 2015 NASA‟s Kepler space telescope f ound its first Earth-sized planet in a“habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn‟t be toohot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored.Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Larne ground-based telescopes,earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets areso far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, whenan exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star‟s brightness. Measuring thisd rop is the transit(凌日) method of discovery. NASA‟s Kepler space telescope has discovered manyexoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. 70 Measuring these slightchanges is the radial velocity(径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productivemethods for finding and confirming exoplanets.These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hopingfor more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knowswhat else we may find!IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use yourown words as far as possible.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fightingto stay calm, I told my 4-year-ofd daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke(中风), that shewas unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer tome. Ameba looked at me, eyes bright, and said, “Maybe Grandma will be okay.” “Maybe she will,” Isaid, keeping back the tears. But I knew better. I was tying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, fromour Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother, and father sitting by my mother‟s side in the hospitalroom. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn‟t time toleave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believedthat she‟d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope forrecovery. The damage was simply too extensive.A couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up! And thenshe persevered through along and tough process of restoration to health. during which she had to learn towalk, read, and write allover again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn‟t shocked was Amelia. Thedoctors couldn‟t explain it. Amelia didn‟t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathing.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it‟s because over the years, life‟sdisappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭). How many times have you heard someonesay: “Hope for the best, expect the worst”? That‟s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________V.

It’s obvious that their deeds con tradict their words. Whether conscious or unconscious, these people will surely fail to see a good environment.Unfortunately, the phenomenon is not alone in our society. For example, when we require others to observe traffic rules, we ourselves rend to violate them, in which case we can hardly see a fast-flowing traffic and will frequently get trapped in the traffic.In my opinion, we should match deeds with words. Only in this way can we achieve our goals. （150个词）。
