True or False （判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”上海中考网版权所有谢绝转载上海中考网表示）（7分）Hondorf is a music teacher. She has always made some money by giving piano lessons. She had a student named Robby. He was 11 years old when his mother took him to his first piano lesson. Hondorf thinks that students should begin at an earlier age，which she explained to Robby. But Robby said that it had always been his mother’s wish to hear him play the piano，so she took him as a student. But from the beginning Hondorf thought he was a hopeless learner. He was not talented（有才能的）in playing the piano. But Hondorf had to say he tried hard.One day，Robby stopped coming back and told her that he wanted to play in public. He said his mother had been ill，so he had to practice at home. Hondorf hesitated because she thought he couldn’t play the piano well enough，but finally she agreed.The night for the public show came. The high school hall was full of parents and friends. When Robby began playing，Hondorf was surprised at what she heard. He played so well that everyone in the hall was moved. Hondorf ran up to him when he ended. “I’ve never heard you play like that，Robby！How could you do it？”“Well，Miss Hondorf…do you remember that I told you my mom was sick？Well，in fact，she was so sick that she died this morning. And well…she was born deaf（聋的），so tonight was the first time she ever heard me play.I wanted to make it special.”When Hondorf heard this，she felt that he was the teacher and she was the pupil. For it was he that taught her the meaning of love and believing in yourself.71. Robby began to give a piano lesson at the age of eleven.72. Hondorf told Robby that he shouldn’t begin to learn the piano so late.73. Hondorf thought Robby wasn’t a hope learner，but he tried his best to learn to play the piano.74. Robby had to practice playing the piano at home because of his mother’s illness.75. Hondorf was surprised when she heard Robby play the piano so well in the public show.76. Hondorf taught her student the meaning of love and believing in himself.77. From the passage we know that Robby’s mother could hear him play the piano that night. B．Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)（7分）When an animal helps another animal，it usually gets something valueable（有价值的）in return. For a long time，many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.However，a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail ) also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans an chimpanzees share an ancestor about 6million years ago.上海中考网版权所有谢绝转载上海中考网People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features without any other training，says Warneken，a scientist in Germany.Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the Afican country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one，and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before，they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s m ore，they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward.In a similar experiment，36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick，whether or not they were offered toys for their help.Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still，both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still，the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees，even if it costs them nothing to be generous.78. Many scientists thought that ________for a long time.A) another animal could do bravelyB）only people could act generouslyC）children could describe things clearlyD）chimpanzees could discover things carefully79. A new study in Germany suggests that ________.A) people also share information for good reasonB) children know something at the age of 18 monthsC）chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, tooD）humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago80. The underlined words “an ancestor” probably means“________”.A）a person in the family who lived a long time agoB）a child in the school who lived with grandparentsC）a chimpanzee on an island that lived for yearsD）an animal in the zoo that lived with others81. Warneken and his partners worked with ________.A) young chimpanzee that live on an islandB）18-month-old children who live in Germany上海中考网版权所有谢绝转载上海中考网C）kids who are living with adult chimpanzeesD）adult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain82.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A）The animals hadn’t met the person before the experimentsB) No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had doneC) Chimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a rewardD）Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one83. In a similar experiment，thirty-six children helped the person reach the stick ________.A) if they were offered toys for their workB) when they were asked to give them a handC) after they were ordered to act in a similar wayD）whether they were given toys for their help or not84. From the passage we know that ________.A）children is more generous than chimpanzees in some waysB) chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzeesC）both chimpanzees and children can find their way to help othersD）both chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experimentsC.

It is probably true that nowadays young Americans have more freedom t 92 they ever had. It is not really clear whether all of this freedom is a good thing with respect to dating relationships (关系). Dating has changed greatly in recent years.According to traditional dating ways in the United States, much of the responsibility for a date falls on the young man. The young man must first call the girl he w 93 to date early in a week. Most girls in traditional dating relationships expect to get a telephone call f 94 a young man by Wednesday. Most dates take place on weekends. Fridays and Saturdays nights arep 95 for dates. The young man must ask the girl out and suggest the things that they might do. Usually it is the young man who pays for all of the evening's activities.Some young people in the United States, e 96 college students, do not go out on traditional dates. Instead, they go out on group dates. This means that small groups of young people go out with each other. All of the people in the group are usually friends, but some in the group may not know before.As a result, every person pays for his or her expenses. This means that the girls must pay for their admission(入场) tickets for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for a _ 97 else that they spend on during the date.The group is very different from the traditional date. Young people in the Unite States today enjoy both kinds of these dating ways. Traditional dating ways give young people a chance to get to know one another better. Group dates give young people a chance to know many other young people and to have a more relaxed evening. Both kinds of dates have their a 98 .

But when the bell for the next class rings, you can’t believe how ____45____ time has passed.If you are familiar with this scene, you’ll know how tim e flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case.Scans (扫描仪) have shown that patterns of activity in the brain ____46____ according to how we focus on a task. When we feel ____47____, we concentrate (专心于) more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.The volunteers were told to first concentrate on ____48____ an image appeared for, then focus on the colour of the image, and thirdly, study both duration and colour. The results showed that the ____49____ was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays ____50____ attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its full energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying! 45．A．slowly B．quickly C．terribly D．foolishly46．A．change B．develop C．grow D．stop47．A．interested B．bored C．excited D．active48．A．how often B．how soon C．how long D．how fast49．A．time B．experiment C．clock D．brain50．A．much B．more C．some D．less2021年上海市徐汇区中考二模英语试卷十四、完形填空The bus was filled with excitement.

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)“Just relax,” I said,“and let the water support you!”Of course, such things are usually easier said than done.When I discovered that the university I work at has a swimming pool, I was quite pleased. Swimming is a great way to exercise. So I suggested to Ellen that we should go for a dip. She declined. At first, I thought it was because she thought it might be too cold to go swimming, but as the summer heat rolled in, she continued to resist my offers.Eventually, I asked her what was stopping her, and was surprised to hear, “I can't swim!”Most Australians learn to swim fairly early on, with school programs teaching it. With the population of Australia mostly gathered around the edge of the continent, going to the beach and swimming in the sea are incredibly popular things to do, so someone who can’t swim is fairly uncommon.Ellen’s confession drove me to make a foolish offer — that I would teach her to swim.If I’d foreseen the problems that were to come, I would probably have never set foot in the pool.Once we got past the initial hurdle of the water being “too cold”, “too scary” and having“a funny smell”, I persuaded Ellen to put her arms around my neck, and try to let her legs float out behind her, while I gently pulled her along.That night, I tried to sleep without moving my neck, as Ellen’s tight grasp had almost torn my head from my shoulders. She panicked after a small wave splashed some water up her nose, and nearly drowned the pair of us in the resulting waving of arms and legs.I think it was at that point I decided to buy her a large life ring, so that she could float along without holding me tight. And I hope, in that way, Ellen will be a little more confident in the water. Section B 65-68 DDCB65. Ellen refused to go swimming with her husband because ______.A. it was too cold at that timeB. there was no swimming pool aroundC. she couldn’t stand the summer heatD. she did not know how to swim66. Which of the following CANNOT be learned according to the passage?A. Swimming is a required course in many Australian schools.B. Most of the Australians learn to swim at a fairly early age.C. It is convenient for most Australians to go to the seaside.D. Swimming is the most popular activity among Australians.67. The underlined word “hurdle” in the passage probably means ________.A. frameB. excitementC. obstacleD. jump68. How did the author probably feel after teaching his wife to swim for the first time?A. Surprised and tired.B. Exhausted and regretful.C. Energetic and confident.D. Disappointed and angry.(B)The following articles are extracts from editorials.WORKING HOURSThe process of “downsizing”─ in other words, reducing workforces ─ has continued persistently over the last ten years. One of the major effects of this process has been the increase in number of hours worked. Often employees have to take over the work previously done by now redundant（被解雇的）colleagues. Working days of twelve hours or more are not unusual. You have to ask yourselves whether this is an efficient way to run a company, and if it is worth the damage itcauses to family life.TOWN CENTRES DIEArg uably one of America’s most destructive exports to the rest of the world has been the out-of-town shopping mall. Shopping centres, usually located on ring roads two or three kilometers from the centre of towns, have sprung up everywhere. As consumers have flocked to them, village shops have closed and town centres have become full of streets with boarded-up shop windows and “For Sale” signs.PROFESSIONALISM RULESThere are few sports where the amateur ideal survives and flourishes. Athletics is normally amateur but all the top athletes are, to all intent and purposes, professionals. Rugby Union(英式橄榄球联合会) has now officially gone professional and the Olympic Games, the supposed symbol of amateurism, has allowed professional sportsmen like tennis players to compete. Standards have certainly improved, but at what cost? Sport is now seen by many as an activity for a few highly skilled and well-paid individuals, rather than as a source of enjoyment for millions, whatever their ability.69-71 BCB69. According to the passages, reducing workforces may result in ______.A. the enhancement of work efficiencyB. the increase of employees’ workloadC. better chances of promotionD. the cutdown of employees’ income70. According to the passages, the Olympic Games should ______.A. include more highly skilled and well-paid individualsB. choose rugby when considering the addition of new sportsC. aim at providing more enjoyment for ordinary peopleD. improve their standards of candidates at any cost71. What is in common among these three articles?A. They all quote exact figures to illustrate their points.B. Each of them expresses a strong opinion about a current issue.C. Each of them reflects a different voice about the same problem.D. They all offer constructive suggestions to the authority.(C)One often hears that children should arrive at school “ready to learn.” For most children, the acquisition of reading and math skills starts in the first grade. In states where kindergarten is compulsory, it begins even earlier.Many parents, teachers, and politicians maintain that preschool is the best way to prepare children to learn. There is no real consensus(一致), however, about how this preparation should be achieved.For some, early childhood education relates to the development of the whole child. They think that preschool should encourage exploration and discovery. Group activities teach positive social behaviors such as sharing, kindness, and patience. Time spent alone encourages independence. Learning letters and counting is important only for children who show an interest in them. Advocates（提倡者）of this approach stress that each child is unique and should learn at his or her own pace.Other people refer to research showing that children are ready to absorb basic academicconcepts by age 3 or 4. They claim that early introduction to letters and numbers lays the foundation for later academic excellence. Since the 1980s, many people have stressed the value of preschool and point to the success of programs －such as Head Start －that target low-income children.Is there proof that an academic curriculum in preschool will lead to academic success? Studies have not been conclusive. In the short term, evidence suggests that middle-class children who attend preschool are ahead of their peers in maths and language skills, as well as in social skills, when they enter school. However, the same studies show that the gap narrows considerably by the time children reach age 8.Children living in poverty are a different matter. Those enrolled in programs such as Head Start seem to do better than impoverished(穷困的) children who do not attend a preschool. For instance, youngsters in one group enrolled in the program, tracked until the age of 21, earned higher scores on intelligence tests, were more likely to graduate from high school, and demonstrated more interest in higher education.The idea of public preschool raises many issues. Providing Head Start for all children would be a financial burden on communities that already struggle to fund current school programs. Also, where would a sufficient number of teachers trained in early childhood development be found? 72-75 DBCB72.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.In the wild, winter is a stressful season, and to escape the biting cold and shortage of food, many animals migrate. But there are some species that stay where they are, and these brave creatures do so by relying on various strategies, including adaptation through external change, such as growing thick coats, and adaptation through behavioral or physiological change, such as entering a state of hibernation(冬眠).Hibernation is a state of inactivity, in which an animal's heart rate, body temperature, and breathing rate are decreased in order to conserve energy through the cold months of winter. A similar state, known as estivation, occurs in some animals during the hot and dry period in summer.When food is scarce, an animal may use up more energy maintaining its body temperature and in searching for food than it would receive from consuming the food. Hibernating animals use 70 to 100 times less energy than when active, allowing them to survive until food is once again plentiful.Many animals sleep more often when food is scarce, but only a few truly hibernate. Hibernation differs from sleep in that a hibernating animal shows a drastic reduction in metabolism(新陈代谢), and then awakes relatively slowly. By contrast, a sleeping animal decreases its metabolism only slightly, and can wake up almost instantly if disturbed.Bears, which many people think of as the classic hibernating animals, are actually just deep sleepers. They do not significantly lower their metabolism and body temperature. True hibernation occurs only in small mammals and a few birds. Some species of insects show periods of inactivity during which growth and development cease and metabolism is greatly reduced. This state is generally referred to as diapause(滞育), although when correlated with the winter months, it would also fit the definition of hibernation.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS.）81.
