She applied and was invited to join in. But, 【小题1】she was placed in the control group rather than the treatment one that would try out the new 【小题2】a virtual reality (VR) program for acrophobia (the medical term for a fear of heights).The ones in the treatment group--44 in all---were given five or six 30-minute sessions (时间段）of the VR treatment over the 【小题3】 of two weeks.The results, which are being published by The Lancet Psychiatry, were significant. About 70% of the VR group no longer had a fear of heights, while, 【小题4】 , all of the people in the control group, who received no treatment, still did.Fay has now had the same therapy herself. “Once the trial was finished, they offered it to me and I am so pleased that I said yes,” she says. “Heights don’t 【小题5】me now.”The VR simulator（模拟器）made people feel like being in a safe situation where they can learn to 【小题6】 their fear. The user wears a VR headset and is asked to work their wayup a 10-storey building and complete some tasks, such as looking down over a high rock and throwing balls off it.Lead researcher Prof Daniel Freeman said: “We wanted tasks that would be fun and 【小题7】and most importantly make the person look down to face their fear. It had to be somethingthat would teach them to feel 【小题8】 with h eights.”The therapy is also delivered by virtual coaches who 【小题9】 and guide the users alongthe way. Prof Freeman said some patients might prefer this to face-to-face therapy with a(n) 【小题10】.三、完形填空Many people around the world have seen Danny B oyle’s movie Trainspotting based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name and starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us can really claim to ______ what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered the coolest hobby in town and the word “train-spotter”, in Britain has become similar in meaning to "geek" or "nerd (蠢货或书呆子),but is this _____ really deserved?First of all, let’s ______ train-spotting. There are said to be some 100,000 train-spotters in the UK. What do they do? Well, exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the serial numbers of the trains that leave and arrive and write them down. The ______ is to have seen every train in the country.Being keen on railways and trains is not a _____ hobby and dates back to 1804 whenRichard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive, which pulled a load of ten tons of iron, 70 men and five wagons along a nine-mile stretch of track in two hours. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any ______ than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, it’s a wonderfully ______ pastime—all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. The modem train-spotter may also carry binoculars(望远镜)and a video camera, but for the purists these are _____.It’s interesting to note that despite the stigma(污名）of train-spotting, there have been famous railway _____ in history, such as the poet WH Auden, the comedian Michael Palin and, of course, Alfred Hitchcock, who was a fan of trains and featured them regularly in his films, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a(n) _____ British hobby.One glance at the US train sites should be enough to _____ you that transatlantic train-spotters are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail fans ‘trainfans' and talk of‘trainfanning’.. Don’t let this _____you—these people are train-spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website .So call them ‘nerds' or ‘geeks’, but they are here to stay and this is _____ not a hobby that is violent or dangerous in any way, nor does it cause any kind of damage to the environment. What do you think is healthier—sitting in front of a TV screen and ______ those who do something that doesn’t interest you? Or going out and finding and following your______whatever that happens to be? I know what I think.（1）A.discoverB.knowC.wonderD.consider（2）A.occupationB.reputationC.ignoranceD.practice（3）A.faceB.findC.discussD.define（4）A.aimB.answerC.adviceD.approach（5）A.specialB.modemC.life-longD.personal（6）A.strangerB.more interestingC.more commonD.freer（7）A.relaxingB.weirdC.inexpensiveD.unpopular（8）A.relievingB.pricelessC.sufficientD.unnecessary（9）A.enthusiastsB.engineersC.developersD.passengers（10）A.originallyB.peculiarlyC.inevitablyD.progressively（11）A.warnB.promiseC.convinceD.disappoint（12）A.hurtB.seizeC.opposeD.fool（13）A.formerlyB.similarlyC.astonishinglyD.certainly（14）A.criticizingB.envyingC.trainingD.imitating（15）A.suggestionB.stepC.passionD.model四、阅读选择The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying-first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is sentient(有感觉能力的，有知觉的), or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s Alexa, his kid started talking to coasters. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize everyday products.We personify things because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to give free will and consciousness to various devices.In turn, feeling attached to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made up by lying abut their number of friend on social networks- unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car’s personality, people were less likely to say they are intended to replace it soon. Andanthropomorphizing objects is associated with a tendency to accumulate.So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them-especially in competitive situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles(格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted(倾斜的) like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots(吉祥物) to bring brands to life. An analysis of 1151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be common.Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was anthropomorphized in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”), consumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into consumers’ hearts.（1）The word “anthropomorphize” (in paragraph 1) most probably means ________.A.think highly of somethingB.find a better way to rate somethingC.see something as humanse something as often as possible（2）The writer mentions an analysis of car sales in Germany in order to ________.A.show that friendliness is better received than aggressivenessB.highlight that a symbol looking like a smile appeals more to peopleC.explain why so many companies use mascots to promote their brandsD.illustrate that people will judge something according to its appearance（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Consumers should know more about a product before it is on the market.B.Products with a mascot are more likely to win consumers’ hearts.C.Increases in a product’s price may be accepted with a good advertisement.D.The personification of a product may not always work.University Shotokan Karate ClubLearn Karate﹣self﹣defense and fitnessThe university karate club was founded in 1962． All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome． The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt．TUESAY AND THURSDAY6: 00﹣8: 00 p．mWEAVER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last five years, attacks on innocent people have increased． Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves , and by learning a form of self﹣defense, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect． Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self﹣confidence．Far too many people think martial art（武术） are about violence． Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self﹣discipline, self﹣control and non﹣violence, we learn basic etiquette courtesy and tolerance． Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times．Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self﹣defense, health and self﹣development． Karate exercise the entire body． Techniques are practices on both sides of the body, therefore muscles imbalances do not occur and the strength , co﹣ordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved． Regular training in Karate improves the body's physical endurance and flexibility． It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves．Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight． Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work． Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt．（1）The passage is mainly intended to________．A.ell readers the benefits of KarateB.attract readers to join the clubC.encourage people to get their black belt．D.correct people's misunderstand of Karate．．（2）What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club？________A.More men than women have been its membersB.It tests members to see what level they are at．C.Members don't need to pay for the lessons．D.It offers 4 hours of lessons every week．．（3）According to the passage， which of the following statements about Karate is true？________A.It cultivates people's respect for themselves as well as for others．B.It involves people's arm muscles more than body muscle．C.It makes people healthy physically instead of mentallyD.It focuses as much on self﹣defense as on attack．In the classic novel The Day of the Triffids, giant plants terrorise humanity. Triffids can walk and are equipped with poisonous stingers, but their real power lies in their ability to communicate and so plot against us.It sounds far-fetched, but since John Wyndham’s book was published in 1951, one aspect of this fiction has proved to be science fact: plants do talk to one another. It has long been known that insects such as pollinators (传粉者）and pests can distinguish between plants by the chemicals they release. What’s new is the idea that plants use their emissions to talk among themselves. “Plants release chemicals into the atmosphere—these can be viewed as a language in the sense that a plant releasing the chemicals can be viewed as ‘speaking’ and the plant receiving them as ‘listening’ and then responding,” says chemical ecologist James Blande at the University of Eastern Finland.Now we are discovering that air pollution can disrupt these communications. In one study,Blande and his colleagues put individual bumblebees into a box containing paper flowers resembling those of black mustard (芥末). When the scientists injected the scent of real black mustard flowers that grew in either a clean or polluted atmosphere the bumblebees’ reactions were unequivocal: they were immediately attracted to the unpolluted scent, while that from polluted air left them flying around aimlessly.It’s not just the clarity of plant language that gets disrupted, the “loudness” is affected, too. To find out how much things have changed since pre-industrial times, Jose Fuentes at the University of Virginia and his colleagues made a computer model that included historic air pollution levels. It revealed that scents(气味)produced by flowers that could once be picked up kilometres away now travel as little as 200 metres.Even between clean and dirty environments today, a similar reduction in signal can be seen. Take lima beans. When one plant is attacked by spider mites, it emits chemical signals that make others nearby produce more sugary nectar. This, in turn, attracts predatory mites, which eat the attackers. If the atmosphere is clean, Blande found, the beans easily communicate with neighbo urs growing 70 centimetres away. But in polluted conditions, their warning cries can’t be heard more than 20 centimetres away.（1）The writer mentions the novel The Day of the Triffids in order to_________.A.show how far-fetched the novel isB.introduce the topic of the passageC.warn readers of a possible dangerD.illustrate a new discovery of plants（2）The word “unequivocal”（in paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to_________.A.familiarB.unpredictableC.differentD.inter-related（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A.The scent of plants can’t travel in a shorter distance in polluted airB.Classic novels are usually based on some proved scientific facts.C.It was in pre-industrial times that pollution came into existence.D.Warning cries made by insects are getting softer and softer.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A.Chemical signals vary with the age of plants.B.Pollinators and insects either damage or benefit plants.C.Pollution has an impact on the communication between plants.D.Plants communicate with each other by means of what they emit.五、六选四请阅读下面文字及图片，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章．So Close， Yet So FarWhere am I？ What am I doing？ If you're one of my 500 friends online， you'll always be the first to know． My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance， so I'm constantly posting updates on social media﹣whether I'm having a coffee， on my way to school，watching TV…even when I'm in the shower． I have a never﹣ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online．I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates． Yet the truth of the matter is：I feel lonely． A few days ago， I went out for a dinner get﹣together with some friends． My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call． Some spent the dinner bent over their phones， texting friends online but ignoring the one who sat right in front of them． And the extraordinary thing is no one thought this was rude； it's just how life is nowadays．【写作内容】1．用约30个单词概述上述文字所描述的现象；2．分析造成该现象的原因（两至三点）；3．请你给Mark提两到三条建议．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．六、概要写作Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Is Alan Sugar a Role Model?In this paper I would like to discuss the question 4Is Alan Sugar a role model for people going into business?9 There are certainly reasons to answer 'yes’ or ‘no’ to this qu estion. Alan Sugar has definitely been a successful businessman and celebrity. He left school at 16 with no qualifications and started his own business selling electrical goods out of the back of a van. He now has an estimated fortune of £830 million and is the 84th richest man in the UK. His Amstrad CPC 464 was one of the first home computers and by the end of the 1980sAmstrad had a stock market value of £1.25 billion. In the nineties and later he started buying and selling companies such as Sinclair, Betacom, Viglen and eventually sold Amstrad itself, at a profit. He was also Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He has now become a TV celebrity with his own TV series The Apprentice', which is a reality TV show where a group of young business peopl e try to win an important position in Alan Sugar’s company. On the other hand, Alan Sugar has, for a long time, not been very popular with many people. He has a reputation for being a rude and insensitive man. He has treated the contestants on‘The Apprentice’ badly. In fact Alan Sugar is best known for saying ‘You’re fired!’ to someone in every episode. Many business people have also said that. ‘The Apprentice’ actually shows you how not to run a business, rather than how to run one. Even his business skills have been questioned. Amstrad was very unsuccessful in the nineties and many people blame Sugar personally for that failure.In conclusion, Alan Sugar is certainly not an ideal role model. However, in my opinion Alan Sugar is a role model because he started with nothing and finished a millionaire. Such a story surely has lessons for all of us.七、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.（1）这次的台风与上海擦肩而过。

C．unseasonable D．consistency E.shiftsF.upsetG.contradictoryH.airI.tornJ.looselyK.stretchedThe party may actually be the last stronghold of the dress code,a tradition that is increasingly falling out of____11____everywhere,from the workplace to the school.As the power of choice____12____away from the institution and toward the individual,the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress,when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity,seems increasingly____13____.So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?On the one hand,it does help reduce guests’confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event.And it can help give a party a festive____14____.There’s something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme.Also,if there are photos involved,a certain____15____ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.On the other hand,if the dress code is too unspecific,it only adds to the generalwhat-to-wear confusion,with“dress to impress”being a case in point.Sometimes it involves dresses that seem____16____to an individual’s sense of style.Either way,you will feel____17____between pleasing your host and pleasing yourself.When I asked the designer Ulla Johnson about the issue,she admitted that she demanded a dress code at her wedding:everyone in white.But she also said she wasn’t____18____at all when some guests asked to be an exception to the rule.“At this point,I would say dress codes can be____19____interpreted,”she said.“Putting on something you don’t love because it obeys a code should be off the table.”In other words,a party dress code is not the same as a school uniform.It can be_____20_____to fit each individual.Honey Dijon,the D．J.and musician,likewise believes that open interpretations of dress codes are generally expected,though she has her own solution to the dress code issue.“Choose something that is related to the theme,such as a shoe or a bag,”she said.“That way,the host is satisfied and you still feel confident.”三、完形填空According to a Gallup World Poll,1.1billion people want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable jobs.An additional630million people would like to move abroad permanently.The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity,but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible.People who hold fast to this universal____21____ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be____22____to any particular place.This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n)____23____economy.It leads to opportunity and profits,but it also has high____24____costs.According to a long research into the emotions and experiences of immigrants(移民)and migrants,many people who leave home in search of better prospects can’t avoid feeling____25____although few speak openly of the substantial pain of leaving home.Such tolerance of emotional suffering became common among mobile Americans in the 20th century,and represented a(n)____26____from the past.In the19th century,Americans of all groups,pioneers,soldiers and the millions of immigrants who streamed into the nation, loudly complained that moving was emotionally____27____.Medical journals explored the condition,often referring to it by its clinical name:nostalgia(思乡).Today,discussions of nostalgia are rare,for the emotion is typically regarded by individuals as an embarrassing block to progress and prosperity.The____28____makes mobility appear misleadingly easy.Technology also tricks us into thinking that mobility is____29____.The comforting vision of____30____offered by technology makes moving seem less consequential,since “one is always just a mouse click or a phone call away”.But such a claim was____31____optimistic,for homesickness continued to hurt many who migrated.The____32____that phone calls and the Internet provide means that those away from home can know exactly what they are missing the exact moment and how it is happening.It gives the impression that one can be in two places at once but it also highlights the____33____of that assumption.The persistence of homesickness points to the limitations of the universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society.The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the independent,mobile individual and takes it for granted that men and women are easily separated from family,fromhome and from the past.But this view isn’t____34____our emotions,for our attachment to home,although often____35____,is strong and enduring.21．A．subject B．wealth C．vision D．exchange 22．A．transferred B．tied C．reduced D．bridged 23．A．globalized B．intense C．exporting D．degrading

with biker leathers and black leather boots.Honestly,his look scared me,so I quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter.It was1988,and I was a“mature”journalism student,heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance.Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter.He usually brought in guest speakers who represented“deviance”.Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer,a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict.And when I was curious that day to see who this session’s speaker was,“Mr.punk rocker”walked in.He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student,who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect.Therefore,he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping,cleaning and laundry.He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day.He described it as a“win-win”for both of them,but I suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.And then he said:“I just figure it’s normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way I look.But isn’t that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?”Wow.Just wow.“It’s hair and clothing,”he said.“I don’t plan to look this way forever,but for now I like it,and do you think it makes me deviant?”Every so often,I think about that young man.He’d be about fifty now and couldn’t realize how he influenced me.Because of his visit that day,my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted,as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive.They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers. And I am also happy that I do my selective of Sociology-Study of Deviance well. 36．The underlined word deviance in the passage is closest in meaning to________.

C．Because the price will be listed on the label.D．Because the expiration date is sometimes missing.As Christmas approached,the price of turkey went wild.It didn’t rocket,as some might suggest.Nor did it crash.It just started waving.We live in the age of the variable prices.In the eyes of sellers,the right price—the one that will draw the most profit from consumers’wallets—has become the focus of huge experiments.These sorts of price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.It may come as a surprise that,in buying a pie,you might be participating in a carefully designed social-science experiment.But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put,the convenience to know the price of anything,anytime,anywhere,has given us, the consumers,so much power that sellers—in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand,or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen.They are trying to “comparison shopping”us.They have enough means to do so:the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies,and what one tech economist calls“the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history of economics.”In result,not coincidentally,normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,”two for the price of one,or simply“everyday low prices”are giving way to far more crazy strategies.“In the Internet era,I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,”says Robert Dolan,a professor at Harvard.The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside.The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be.The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search.For shoppers,that means price—not the one offered to you right now,but the one offered to you 20minutes from now,or the one offered to me,or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing.“There used to be one price for something,”Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty. 43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．When holidays come,prices are usually increased.B．The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.C．The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.D．To buy a pie,customers have to become an expert in economy.44．Sellers stare back through the screen in order to________.A．reflect on the effect of the InternetB．analyze customers’online buying history for price strategyC．double check the existence of the purchaseD．find out online where the lowest prices are45．In Internet age,what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?A．The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.B．The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.C．The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.D．The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.46．What is the passage mainly about?A．The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.B．Measures sellers take to maximize profits.C．The analysis of pricing mechanism.D．The battle between buyers and sellers in Internet age.五、六选四Recently,there’s been a lot of talk in U.S.about the“data problem.”It ought to give the “datadriven”school reformers pause to reconsider.Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.____47____Margo,a famous commenter,states that at least tests are more“reliable”than professional judgment.How can she tell?We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the“truth”can only be captured in one of four answers—a,b,c,or d.____48____But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker?Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments,which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a,b,c and d.The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams.No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.All“reliability”tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place.But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street’s numbers,we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise,validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments.How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well,but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence,test score,and not the direct evidence,listening to their children read.Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on“real evidence”.My own8-year-old son also used to“fail”a3rd grade reading test even though I “knew”he could read fluently.____49____We need schools that“train”our judgment,which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon.____50____It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty.Only in this way,can we,to some extent,rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.A．Even the technical meaning of“good tests”is open to question.B．It’s when I became a test doubter.C．Different groups of people fit different test patterns.D．On all achievement tests,we’re promised beforehand a population that fits a normal curve (曲线).E．This includes judging which expertise to“trust”and defending such choices.F．Time spent on standardized tests is,in many cases,equal to that on study.六、概要写作51．Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.The music in youAny party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it.Yet when asked on site,she might reply:“Music?I don’t know anything about that.”Maybe you’ve heard a variation on this theme:“I don’t have a musical bone in my body.”Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year,when it’s someone’s birthday and the cake comes out.Privately,it’s a different story.We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel.But when we think about musical expertise,we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance,people we’d pay to hear.As for the rest of us,our bumbling private efforts,rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music,seem only to demonstrate that we don’t enjoy essential musical capacity.But the more psychologists investigate musicality,the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts,in quite a surprising sense.A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share.We aren’t talking about instinctive,inborn universals here.Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience;maybe not years spent over an instrument,but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.In fact,for all its remarkable power,music is in good company.Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule.We don’t know how we come to like certain food more than others.We don’t know why we fall in love.Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes.The fact that we respond to musicso naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．在烟雾的掩护下，她从边门溜走了。

2023年高考上海英语卷完形填空完形填空题目：Passage 1:In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a common problem for many people. It can affect our physical and mental health, as well as our relationships. However, there are ways to manage stress and maintain a healthy lifestyle.One effective way to reduce stress is through regular exercise. Exercise releases endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones. These hormones help to improve our mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. Additionally, exercise can help us sleep better, which is important for managing stress.Another way to manage stress is by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation. These techniques help to calm the mind and relax the body. Taking a few minutes each day to focus on our breath and clear our minds can make a big difference in reducing stress levels.In addition to exercise and relaxation techniques, it is important to maintain a balanced diet. Eating nutritious foods can provide our bodies with the necessary nutrients to function properly and cope with stress. Avoiding excessive caffeine and sugar can also help to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.Lastly, it is important to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that bring us joy and relaxation. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or simply taking a walk in nature, engaging in activities that we enjoy can help to reduce stress and improve our overall well-being.The passage mainly discusses ways to ________. A. manage stress B. improve physical health C. maintain relationships D. sleep betterPassage 2:Technology has greatly impacted our lives in many ways. It has made communication faster and more convenient, provided us with access to vast amounts of information, and transformed various industries. However, it is important to recognize the potential negative effects of excessive technology use.One of the negative effects of technology is its impact on social interactions. With the rise of social media and online communication, face-to-face interactions have decreased. Many people now prefer to communicate through screens rather than in person, which can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness.Another negative effect of technology is its impact on physical health. Excessive use of electronic devices can lead to sedentary behavior and a lack of physical activity. This can contribute to various health problems, such as obesity andmusculoskeletal issues.Furthermore, technology can also have a negative impact on mental health. Constant exposure to screens and the constant need for instant gratification can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and even addiction. It is important to find a balance and set limits on technology use to protect our mental well-being.While technology has its benefits, it is crucial to be mindful of its potential negative effects. Finding a healthy balance between technology use and other aspects of life is essential for maintaining overall well-being.The passage mainly discusses the ________ of excessive technology use. A. positive effects B. convenience C. negative effects D. transformation of industries。

For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect. Governments don't have to__【4】__healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans.

We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult ____ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural ____, of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really____issues.Dunbar ____ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—____, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ____ of the higher primates（灵长类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or____ from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ____ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the____ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to ____ the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be ____ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more ____ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one ____ contact.【1】A．claim B．description C．gossip D．language【2】A．occasionally B．habitually C．independently D．originally【3】A．social B．political C．historical D．cultural【4】A．admirers B．masters C．users D．wasters 【5】A．vital B．sensitive C．ideal D．difficult 【6】A．confirms B．rejects C．outlines D．broadens 【7】A．for instance B．in addition C．on the contrary D．as a result 【8】A．motivation B．appearance C．emotion D．behaviour 【9】A．attack B．contact C．inspection D．assistance 【10】A．recalls B．denies C．concludes D．confesses 【11】A．prospect B．responsibility C．leadership D．protection 【12】A．measure B．show C．maintain D．ease 【13】A．saved B．extended C．consumed D．gained 【14】A．common B．efficient C．scientific D．Thoughtful 【15】A．indirect B．daily C．physical D．secret三、阅读理解1.Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either. 【1】A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A．getting closer to its youngB．driving away the adult predatorC．leaving its young in another nestD．pretending to be injured【2】By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A．chimps are ready to attack othersB．chimps are sometimes dishonestC．chimps are jealous of the winnersD．chimps can be selfish too【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Do animals lie?B．Does Mother Nature fool animals?C．How do animals learn to lie?D．How does honesty help animals survive?2.Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you seethe shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workoutitself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A．Pick a new cue.B．Form a new habit.C．Choose a new reward.D．Design a new resolution.【2】According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A．changing the routine B．trying it for a weekC．adjusting your goal D．writing it down【3】What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A．To test out different kinds of cues.B．To do something as a habit even without rewards.C．To work out the best New Year's resolution.D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.【4】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A．The Harry Potter poster.B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C．An English newspaper.D．Watching TV for half an hour.3.If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising theirarms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of adark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think illof them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping,people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."【1】The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A．building B．exchanging C．controlling D．transplanting【2】We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.A．our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB．we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC．participants will live more passionately after the experimentD．The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes【3】In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______.A．they fought strongly against racismB．they scored lower on the test for racismC．they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD．they were more biased against those unlike them【4】It can be concluded from the passage that______.A．technology helps people realize their dreamsB．our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC．virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD．our points of view about others need changing constantly四、其他1.More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want tobe actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation. So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency （透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasison opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives liketo hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)【1】Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.【2】Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.【3】With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.【4】According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making profits.2.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】我习惯睡前听点轻音乐。

They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 【1】What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?【2】What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?【3】The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.【4】In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.4.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

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）A great deal can be learned from the actual traces of ancient human movement: the footprints of early hominids（原始人类）.The best-known specimens（标本）are the remarkable tracks discovered at Laetoli,Tanzania,by Mary Leaky.These were left by small hominids around3.6to3.75million years ago.Examination of the shape of the prints revealed to Mary Leakey that the feet had a raised arch,a rounded heel（脚跟），a pronounced ball,and a big toe that pointed forward.These features,together with the weight-bearing pressure patterns, resembled the prints of upright-walking modem humans.The pressures imposed along the foot,together with the length of step,which averaged87centimeters, indicated that the hominids had been walking slowly.In short,all the detectable features implied that the feet that left the footprints were very little different from those of contemporary humans.A detailed study has been made of the prints using photogrammetry,a technique for obtaining measurements through photographs,which created a drawing showing all the curves and shapes of the prints.The result emphasized that there were at least seven points of similarity with modem prints,such as the depth of the heel impression, and the deep imprint of the big toe.Footprints thus provide us not merely with rare impressions of the soft tissue of early hominids,but also with evidence of upright walking that in many ways is clearer than can be obtained from the analysis of bones.The study of fossil footprints is not restricted to examples from such remote periods.Hundreds of prints are known,for example,in French caves dating from the end of the last Ice Age,approximately10,000years ago.Research by Leon Pales has provided information about this period.56.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The career of Mary Leakey.B.The analysis of footprint specimens.C.Accurate dating of hominid remains.D.Behavioral patterns of early humans.57.The figure of87centimeters mentioned in paragraph2refers to the size of the _________.A.hominids feetB.hominids bodiesC.steps taken by the hominidsD.objects carried by the hominids58.Why does the author mention the"heel impression"in paragraph3?A.To indicate the weight of early hominids.B.To emphasize the size of the hominids foot.C.To hint at a possible injury the hominid had suffered.D.To give an example of similarity to modem human footprints.59.What can be inferred about the footprints found in French caves mentioned in the last paragraph?A.They show more details than the Laetoli prints.B.They are not as informative as the Laetoli prints.C.They are of more recent the Laetoli prints.D.They are more difficult to study than the Laetoli prints（B）The elements other than hydrogen and helium（氮气）exist in such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe somewhat more than25percent helium by weight and somewhat less than25percent hydrogen.Astronomers have measured the amount of helium throughout our galaxy（星系）and in other galaxies as well.Helium has been found in old stars,in relatively young ones,and in the distant objects known as quasars.Helium nuclei have also been found in cosmic rays that fall on the earth（cosmic"rays”are not really a form of radiation;they consist of rapidly moving particles（颗粒）of numerous different kinds）.It doesn't seem to make very much difference where the helium is found.Itsamount never seems to vary much.In some places,there may be slightly more of it;in others,slightly less,but the proportion of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.Helium is created in stars.In fact,nuclear reactions that turn hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy that stars produce.However,the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated,and it turns out to be no more than a few percent.The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to be significantly greater.Consequently,if the universe is somewhat more than25percent helium now,then it must have been about25percent helium at a time near the beginning.However,when the universe was less than one minute old,no helium could have existed.Calculations indicate that before this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly.It was only after the one-minute point that helium could exist.By this time,the universe had cooled sufficiently.But the nuclear reactions that led to the formation of helium went on for only a relatively short time.By the time the universe was a few minutes old,helium production had effectively ceased.60.According to the passage,helium is_________.A.difficult to detectB.the oldest element in the universeC.a common element in quasarsD.the second element in the universe in amount61.Why does the author mention"cosmic rays"in paragraph2?A.To explain how the universe began.B.As part of a list of things containing helium.C.As an example of an unsolved astronomical puzzle.D.To explain the abundance of hydrogen in the universe.62.Most of the helium in the universe was formed_________.A.in invisible spaceB.in a very short timeC.before most of the hydrogenD.during the first minute of the universe's existence（C）Every year millions of breeding monarch butterflies in the U.S.and southern Canada search for milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs.Concern over shrinking habitat（居住地）has urged conservationists to create monarch-friendly spaces along roadsides,which are more than enough within the butterflies range and usually publicly owned.But traffic noise stresses monarch caterpillars out,a new study finds. They eventually do become desensitized to it—but that might cause trouble to them later on,too.Noise pollution is known to affect the lives of birds,whales and other creatures. But until recently,scientists had never tested whether it leads to a stress response in insects.When Andy Davis,a conservation physiologist at the University of Georgia, noticed online videos of roadside monarch caterpillars apparently trembling as cars came by,he wondered how the constant noise might affect them.Davis built a custom caterpillar heart monitor,fitting a small sensor into a microscope to precisely measure monarch caterpillars'heart rates as they listened to recordings of traffic sounds in the laboratory.The hearts of caterpillars exposed to highway noise for two hours beat17 percent faster than those of caterpillars in a silent room.But the heart rates of the noise-exposed group returned to baseline levels after hearing the traffic sounds nonstop for their entire12-day development period,Davis and his colleagues reported in May in Biology Letters.This desensitization could be problematic when the caterpillars become adults,Davis says.A rapid stress response is vital for monarch butterflies on their two-month journey to spend winters in Mexico,as they narrowly escape predators（捕食者）and fight wind currents.Whether a noisy developmental period reduces monarchs'survival rates remains unknown,notes Ryan Norris,an ecologist at the University of Guelph in Ontario,who was not involved in the study.But in any case,he believes roadside habitat almost certainly drive up the butterflies'death rates as a result of crashes with cars."There is so much potential road habitat for monarchs and other insects一it would be such a nice thing to capitalize on,”Norris says."But you just can't get around the traffic.”Davis adds:"I think roads and monarchs just don't mix.”63.By"They eventually do become desensitized to it",the writer means thatA.monarch caterpillars react less strongly to noiseB.monarch caterpillars are stressed out by road noiseC.conservationists are worried about butterflies habitatD.conservationists no longer create monarch-friendly spaces64.What inspired Andy Davis to explore the effect of noise on monarch caterpillars?A.There had been little research on monarch caterpillars.B.Videos showed cars crashed into monarch caterpillars.C.There was no such record of monarch caterpillars'heart rates.D.He found that monarch caterpillars shook with cars moving by.65.According to Andy Davis,how will exposure to noise influence monarch butterflies?A.They are likely to need more time to develop.B.They are likely to lose their way on their journey.C.They are more likely to be killed in their migration.D.They are more likely to die before they become adults.66.What is Ryan Norris most likely to agree with?A.Monarchs5survival rates are decreasing each year.B.It is not recommended that roadside habitat be built for insects.C.More capital is needed to study monarchs?developmental period.D.Butterflies’rising death rates have nothing to do with moving cars.Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The early success of the kiosks suggests that,at least when ordering fast food, customers prize speed over high-touch customer service.B.Business owners insist that robots will take over work that is dirty,dangerous,or just dull,enabling humans to focus on other tasks.C.The better hope for workers might be that automation helps the food-service industry continue to develop.D.But over time,customers relied less frequently on the greeters.E.The cost of machines has fallen significantly in recent years,dropping40percentsince2005.F.This has typically been the story of automation:Technology eliminates old jobs,but it also creates new ones.Iron CooksRobots have arrived in American restaurants and hotels for the same reasons they first arrived on factory floors._________67_________Labor,meanwhile,is getting expensive,as some cities and states pass laws raising the minimum wage.“We think we've hit the point where labor-wage rates are now making automation of those tasks make a lot more sense,"Bob Wright,the chief operations officer of the fast-food chain Wendy's,said in a conference call with investors last February,referring to jobs that feature"repetitive production tasks."Wendy's and McDonald's are in the process of installing self-service kiosks（售货亭）in locations across the country,allowing customers to order without ever talking to an employee._________68_________The international chain CaliBurger,for example, will soon install Flippy,a robot that can make150burgers an hour.John Miller,the CEO of Cali Group,which owns the chain,says employees don't like working in the kitchen.Once the robots are sweating there,human employees will be free to interact with customers in more-targeted ways,bringing them extra napkins and asking them how they're enjoying their burgers.How many employees,though,do you need working in the cafe?69Will companies like CaliBurger see sufficient value in employing human greeters and soup-and-sandwich deliverers to keep those positions around long-term?The experience of Eatsa may be instructive.The start-up restaurant,based in San Francisco,allows customers to order its quinoa bowls and salads on their smartphone or an in-store tablet and then pick up their order from a white wall of cubbies（小房间）一an Automat for the app age.Initially,two greeters were stationed alongside the cubbies to welcome and direct customers._________70_________So the company now employs a single greeter in its restaurants.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage and how it is e your own words as far aspossible.Advertising ObjectivesWhen developing a successful advertising campaign,marketers must first set an advertising objective.The objective is the purpose for the advertising campaign. There are four main advertising objectives—to inform,to persuade,to compare,or to remind.Companies use informative advertising to give information about a new type of product.In this case,the purpose is to increase demand for the new product.DVD players are a good example.The first sellers of these products had to tell consumers about the quality and convenience of the new product.Big sales soon followed.However,informative advertising doesn't work so well when there are many companies with the same kind of product.This is because consumers already know the normal features of the product.Instead,they need to see how one company's version is better than all the others.This kind of advertising is called persuasive advertising.For instance,when DVD players became common,Sony began trying to persuade customers that its brand has the best quality for their money to keep sales high.Comparative advertising also tries to persuade.Thus it is really a kind of persuasive advertising.In this,a company compares its brand with one or more other parative advertising been used for products from soft drinks to car rentals and credit cards.An is Avis,a car rental company,which compared itself with its bigger rival Hertz by claiming,“We're number two,so we try harder?"A different kind of advertising is reminder advertising,which is important for products later in their life.Unlike the other types,its objective is to help to keep strong relationships with customers and to keep them thinking about the product.This is why expensive Coca-Cola television ads mainly build and maintain the Coca-Cola brand relationship,rather than trying to inform or persuade people to buy the drink straight away.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.显而易见，照片上的形象与我眼前的这个人一点不像。

(1)Several years ago, well-known writer and editor Norman Cousins became very ill. His body ached and he felt constantly tired. It was difficult for him to even 45 around. His doctor told him that he would lose the ability to move and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival.46 the diagnosis(诊断), Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read a book, which discussed the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative 47 . The book made Cousins think about the possible 48 of positive attitudes and emotions. He thought, “Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the 49 to live have positive treatment value?”He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a way to treat some of the symptoms of his disease. In addition to his traditional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations that would 50 positive emotions. “Laugh therapy” became part of his treatment. He 51 time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would draw out 52 emotions. Within eight days of starting his “laugh therapy” program his pain began to 53 and he was able to sleep more easily. He was able to return to work in a few months’time and 54 reached complete recovery after a few years.45．A．run B．pass C．move D．travel 46．A．Besides B．Despite C．Without D．Beyond 47．A．attitudes B．beliefs C．goals D．positions48．A．shortcoming B．harm C．benefit D．interest 49．A．emotion B．pain C．fear D．will 50．A．bring about B．set about C．put up D．make up 51．A．afforded B．appointed C．offered D．arranged 52．A．positive B．approving C．strong D．mixed 53．A．escape B．decrease C．shrink D．end 54．A．generally B．especially C．actually D．presently（2）“When a customer enters my store, forget me . He is King. ”said John Wanamaker, who in 1876 turned an abandoned railway station in Philadelphia into one of me world’s first department stores This revolutionary concept 55 the face of retailing（零售业）and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.But convincing as that slogan was, 56 the shopper was cheated out of the crown 57 manufacturing efficiency increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on advertisements to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or a 58 number of publications. Now media choice, has 59 too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sources—especially with a few clicks of acomputer mouse 60 the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.As our survey shows, 61 has great implications for companies, because it is changingthe way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven”or “consumer- centred ”. Now their 62 will be tested as never before. Taking advantage of shoppers’63 will no longer be possible: people will know—and soon tell others ,even those without the internet—that prices in the next town are cheaper or that certain goods are inferior.The internet is working wonders in 64 standards.

That is one reason why astronauts on solo（单独旳）space flight were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth, 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine（潜水艇）voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better thanothers. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behaviour under stress.45．A．tired B．asleep C．conscious D．busy46．A．So far B．After all C．However D．Therefore 47．A．long B．fast C．dangerous D．direct48．A．fuel B．entertainment C．adjustment D．health49．A．shut up B．held up C．brought up D．picked up 50．A．pleasing B．annoying C．common D．valuable 51．A．noisy B．alone C．personal D．sociable 52．A．emphasis B．conflict C．power D．pressure 53．A．handle B．create C．affect D．investigate 54．A．becoming B．choosing C．ordering D．promoting（4）One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total.55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whoie-such as child-centred learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum（课程）of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55．A．Due to B．In addition to C．Instead of D．In spite of 56．A．errors B．situations C．systems D．methods57．A．vocabulary B．culture C．grammar D．literature 58．A．wide B．similar C．separate D．unique 59．A．kept out B．turned down C．help back D．left behind 60．A．surprisingly B．individually C．equally D．regular 61．A．extra B．traditional C．basic D．regular 62．A．Although B．Because C．Until D．Unless 63．A．restored B．absorbed C．prohibited D．withdrawn 64．A．wasting B．focusing C．exploiting D．sharing（5）People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports can have __50 effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been __51 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad __52 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main _53 of too much aggression ill children's sports. They believe children _54 _ aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up tothem. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that__55 is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and shout __56 _ at other players or cheer when their child behaves __57__. As well, children arc even taught that hurting other players is _ 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured _59 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.As a society, we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches _61 should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better__62 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to _63 , themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that _64 is not as important as winning.50. A. restrictive B. negative C. active D. instructive51.

Creativity isn’t always __52__ with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time __53__ think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections This technique involves taking __54__ ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words __55__ with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the __56__ to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original __57__; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.No limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t__58__. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new __59__. If your goal is to learn to ski, __60__, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now __61__ this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a __62__ point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the __63__ in their books. They ask questions: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goalinvolves other people, put yourself in their __64__. The best fishermen think like fish!50.

The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, ___51___ revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. ___52___ several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, LloydWebber ___53___ some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in ___54___ to your evolving purpose, or to include ___55___ ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. ___56___, it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to ___57___. topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows ___58___. Always make time to become your own ___59___and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you ___60___ new ideas.Revising involves ___61___ the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose ___62___ throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the ___63___ that is, facts, opinions, inferences --- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many ___64___ details that may confuse readers?50. A. technique B. style C. process D. career51. A. in particular B. as a result C. for example D. in other words52.
