Furthermore,they are environmentally friendly,since you don’t have to buy(25)______wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯).You can simply refill your mechanical pencil!There is only one slight negative I must remark on,(26) ______is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils“lead pencil”in casual conversation,the term“lead pencil”is confusing.Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead.It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay,which(27)______not give you lead poisoning.This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom:“John,stop that!You’re going to get lead poisoning!”I think all the third-graders(and teachers)in the world would feel much(28)______(safe)if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one,but(29)____________the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter,I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more.Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger;perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full,hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me(30)______(use)tomorrow.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.threatenedB.designedC.preferencesD.typicallyE.experimentalF.theoreticalG.abandoned H.instruments I.constantly J.extensive K.persuasiveScience Isn’t Always Perfect—But We Should Still Trust ItFrom environment pollution to climate change,we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims.Are genetically modified crops safe to eat?Is climate change an emergency?In recent years,many of these issues have become politically polarized,with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political31.When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist,was asked by one member why we should trust the science,she replied,“because it’s science!”For several decades,there has been a(n)32and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are33by the findings of modern science.In response,scientists have tended to stress the success of science.After all,scientists have been right about most things,from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong,but for many people it’s not34.After all,just because scientists more than400years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science?—is that scientists use“the scientific method.”If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around the house,you’ll probably find that answer in it.But this answer is wrong. But what is35declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设),then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do.Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods,and these methods have changed with time.Science36changes:new methods get invented,old ones get37,and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things.And that’s a good thing,because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work.False theories can produce true results,so even if an experiment works,it doesn’t prove that the theory it was38to test is true.There also might be many different theories that could produce that same39 result.On the contrary,if the experiment fails,it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong;it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the40.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Travelling,at least travelling any considerable distance,means dealing with airports.I’ve seen my share of airports. They come in several41.The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main wa i t i n g ar e a wa s sm a l l e r th a n ma n y sc h o o l cl a s s r o o m s,se c u r i t y an d ti c k e t ch e c k i n g we r e b o t h 42by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in.It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two43on our flight.At the other extreme are the44,modern airports in the world’s major X,in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you.Some,such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport,SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco,like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai,have45terminals connected by different buses or underground trains.Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals,which can be a little46.Heathrow airport in London,England,47that bigger is not always better.Heathrow consists of terminals used by various48and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants.At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the49that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time.Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just30minutes to find and50your gate,some of which are a25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no51for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flightsare arriving and departing and where they plan to put them.If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another,what I want is a quiet place,not an area52bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel,for me,is interesting but when I have to fly,getting there is53not half the fun.Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n)54part of the process.Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be55,not really enjoyed.41. A.types B.cities C.areas D.sizes42. A.identified B.handled C.promoted D.processed43. A.guards B.astronauts C.pilots D.passengers44. A.tremendous B.crowded C.international D.fashionable45.

A.simplified B.endured C.declared D.paralleledSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Sometimes when she felt bored,she would pick up one of the numerous biographies(传记)about herself and begin to note on it.“I never did that”or“simply not true”she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages.Since journalists,biographers and more recently even“bloggers”had been writing about her since the day she was born,there was plenty of material to edit.Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the tely,however,she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness.Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset,should they ever catch her out.After all she was the decisive one,always on top of her game.A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table.A full day of openings and presentations,of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood,she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea.The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read,she simply went to visit Mr.Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream,served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache.So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls.Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother,who was a stickler for good manners.It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days,what with all the concern about childhood fatness,but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey.As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her,she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short,predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B.The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C.The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D.Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57.Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A.She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.B.She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C.She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.D.Today’s children aren’t allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58.A“Spartan menu”(paragraph4)would most likely___________________.A.have mainly low fat,healthy foodsB.be suitable for a romantic dinnerC.include a range of sweets,but no jellyD.include foods which are easy to transport59.What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A.The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B.The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C.Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D.The main character will update her blog on the internet.(B)Canals have to be built on a level,otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless.This was the great problem facing the early canal builders,and they overcame it in different ways.The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level even though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers,such as Thomas Telford,developed a new technique known as‘cut and fill’in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying.This allowed them to fill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took from the higher ground.By this method,very direct routes could be taken,which cut down the time of a journey very considerably.A good example of this type of canal is Telford’s Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal,which he began in1826to provide a direct route from the Midlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal,of course,whichever method was used,and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered to new levels.If you look at the diagram on the right,you can see a barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin,or pound,from the upper level of the canal.When a barge had to be lowered,water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level of the canal.60.Brindley’s canals were less efficient,most likely because_______________.A.he was not a good canal engineerB.the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC.his canals were built to keep the water drains outD.they had too many roundabout routes61.According to this passage,why was the‘cut and fill’technique designed?A.The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B.It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C.New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D.The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62.Locks are needed in canals to_______________.A.help boats to travel in both directionsB.keep water levels changing all the timeC.allow large ships to travel in canalsD.transfer boats across differing water levels(C)In the ancient world,the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic.That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine,Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today—that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary.He travelled across Greece teaching medicine,encouraging the view that disease had physical,not supernatural,explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath,a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life,swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm.One of Hippocrates’theories was of the‘four humours’,a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body—blood,phlegm,and black and yellow bile(a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only150years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body’s internal balance.But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile,they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using careful observation and logical thought.Aristotle,political theorist,philosopher and teacher,also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view.He was the first to classify organisms,and although his method may seem simple now,he divided them into two basic categories,as either plant or animal—he was the first to do so.Aristotle valued experimentation and discovered that evaporation,the process of becoming a vapour,turned salt water into fresh water.He was also a believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements—fire,earth,water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours,related to the four liquids in the body,were each in line with an organ,a season and with different moods.The four were based on the Greeks’idea of four base elements(air,water,fire,earth).Although discredited now,the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the18th century.They were: -Blood from the liver:associated with Spring;with courage and hope-Phlegm from brain and lungs:Winter;calm and unemotional-Yellow bile from gall bladder(胆囊):Summer;anger and bad temper-Black bile from spleen(脾脏):Autumn;with blue and dark mood63.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B.The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C.Hippocrates thought disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D.Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64.The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that____________.A.the blood was polluted by virusesB.the human body was not evenly balancedC.the patient was in a bad humourD.too much blood was bad for people65.How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A.He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B.He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C.He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D.He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66.Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A.He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B.He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C.He insisted that almost all diseases had supernatural explanations.D.He recognized the importance of the observation and noting of symptoms.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.Singapore’s Information Technology StrategySingapore’s information technology strategy rests on two major legs.The first leg is world-class basic facilities.Being a city-state,it is relatively easy to connect every home,office and hotel room.Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere,either wired or wireless.We will make it a readily available utility like water,electricity,gas and telephone.We are well on our way there.We now require,by regulation,every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT(information technology).Like reading,writing and arithmetic,computers are best learnt when we are young.Today’s children can click the mouse faster than we can blink.In many countries,children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology.But,without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT.Like the piano and violin,one can still learn the computer as an adult.But rarely does one acquire the same facility.The strategy in Singapore is thereforeto teach information technology to every child regardless of his family background.The Education Ministry now has a multi-billion dollar programme to provide one computer for every2schoolchildren in Singapore from first grade onwards. Every teacher will have a notebook.Most Singaporeans now understand the importance of IT,if not for themselves,at least for their children and grandchildren.Over40%of households in Singapore now own PCs.Over one-third of households in Singapore already enjoy access to Internet.What we want is for every Singaporean to be computer literate so that he can function effectively in any bank,factory or restaurant,just as one would expect an employee to be able to read,write and count.An employer in Singapore in the future should not have to worry that his employee does not know how to use a computer or the Internet.第II卷（共40分）V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.如天公作美，周末我们就去郊游。

After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and theconversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Community service is an important part of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called“One on One”helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Green will act as mentor to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy t his community service and you are sure to gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your résumé, too —showing that you ’ ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’ d like to sign up, or if you have an y questions, stop by professor Green’s office this week.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What is the main purpose of this talk?12.What is the function of the program mentioned in the passage?13.What does professor Green do according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Increasingly, over the past ten years, people — especially young people — have becomeaware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matters. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been enriched by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount —but not the quality —of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of animals like chickens: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Why have people become more interested in natural foods?15.Which of the following statements is TRUE of natural foods?16.What can be inferred about chickens on battery farms according to the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartmen ts, which one do you like best?W: I don’t know, Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.W: The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You should always put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by visitors.W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors! But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place w as the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner? M: No. Was there one?W: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.W: Yes. I think that apartment is best for your needs. There’ s good parking, and there’s a semi-private area for your desk. That takes care of the daily activities.M: OK. Let’s take that one.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.Why did Brad and Shirley give up the apartment on the 68th Street?18.According to the man, what is wrong with the west window of the 72nd Street apartment?19.Which considerations are crucial in Brad and Shirley’s choice of an apartment?20.Which apartment do the speakers decide to rent?百度盘获取听力音频。

As a junior high school student, I was interested in science. I particularly enjoyed the experiments we did in chemistry class. I was so fascinated by them that I decided to do a little research of my own.I got the idea from a news article I had read. The article said that flaxseed oil was being investigated as analternative fuel. So one afternoon I decided to find out what would happen if I used it to burn a candle.After collecting the necessary materials, I began my experiment. I filled a test tube with flaxseed oil, put asmall piece of cotton in it, and put the candle in a bowlthat I filled with the oil. Then I lit the candle and waited.To my surprise, the candle actually burned. The flame was small, but it kept burning steadily for quite a long time. I was really amazed. I had never seen anything like it before.Since then, I have done a few other experiments of my own. Some were successful and some weren't. But I have learned alot from them and I am still very interested in doing more.1. The author enjoyed __________.A. writingB. readingC. experimentsD. sports2.

黄浦区2021学年度第一学期高三年级期终调研测试英语试卷II.Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections：After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Do Animals Dream?You can't see your sleeping pefs bran waves, but its behavior can tell you when Fido or Fluffy might be dreaming. If you watch clock you'll see that as your cat falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep. ____ 21 __ (call) slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change __ 22 __ her eyes move under her closed lids. Fluffy has entered the REM (Rapid Eye Movement), or dreaming, stage of sleep. Although she moves and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs ___ 23 __ (block), so she can't run about.Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, French scientist who was studying steep in cats _____ 24 ___ (interrupt) theirSleep paralysis, the state of being unable to act or function properly. ________ 25 _________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn't see and bent their backs at invisible enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams!What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed _____ 26 __ (practise) important cat skills: stalking, pouncing, and fighting.In ___ 27 _ study, Mat Wilson, a neuroscientist, recorded rats' brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫).One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills __ 28 __ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish ____ 29 __ not. (They're not sure about birds.)How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when __ 30 __ (lie) down.Section BDirections：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Why Doubt Is Essential To ScienceThe confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them repliedthat it is a(n) ___ 31 __ way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties. Forexample, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their _________ 32 __ b eliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?" 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say "it depends” .But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, science, when properly _____ 33 __ , questions accepted facts and leads to both new knowledge and new questions——not certainty. Doubt does not __ 34 __ trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?As a historian of science, I would argue that it's the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often ______ 35 __ as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge a possible explanation. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new ____ 36 ___ emerges from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are hypotheses that contain the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it stimulates us towards a better understanding, certainties, as ______ 37 ___ as they may seem, in fact block the scientific process.Scientists understand this, but in the ____ 38 __ force between the public and science, there are two significant traps. One is a form of blind ___ 39 __ that is, a belief in the capacity of science to solve all problems. And the otheris a form of relativism borne out of a lack of ____ 40 __ in the very existence of truth.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.This era of u Industry 4.0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can __ 41 __ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) ___ 42 __ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. _____ 43 ___ robots focused on single, fixed, high-speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4.0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently, which ______ 44 __ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.For large-scale manufacturers, Industry 4.0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and ______ 45 __ remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be ___ 46 __ studied using wh at is known as “ big data " analysis. This will help____ 47 ___ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plant, for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically _____ 48 __ it.For __ 49 ___ m anufacturing business, Industry 4.0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform ____ 50 __ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for ____ 51 __ .While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today9s industrial artificial intelligence operates at a ___ 52 __ level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.What's coming next is known as “deep learning v. Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to ____ 53 __ what is the best action to take. The ____ 54 __ is that the machine leamsfrom the data so it can improve its decision making. A perfect example of deep learning was _____ 55 __ by Google's AlphaGo software, which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go players.41. A. compare with B. adapt to C. pick out D. hold on42.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub, it is not really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to socialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of British society. After all, the word 'pub' is actually short for 'public house'.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of Nottingham called 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem J, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which King Richard the First came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thafs how it used to be, but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financial measure, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the members of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as ' binge drinking',and it causes long-term health problems for individuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UKgovernment is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the world.B.British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of life.C.Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bans.D.Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban.57.Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm?A.To stimulate customers to spend more on drinks.B.To help British pubs survive economic downturns.C.To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubs.D.To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain.58.The term “binge drinking,,in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describe ________ .A.drinking too much and too quicklyB. social problems related to British pubsC. a new long term drinking approachD. problems caused by drinking too much59.What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A.Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.B.Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinking.C.The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubs.D.Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones.The Coming SeriesExpress Yourself!-The Art of CartooningTime: Thursday, January 6,18:30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Books and filmsC. Entertainment and interactionD. Heroes and achievements(C)Ellen Weiss can hardly see. David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's crudest blows? Not really. Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26. They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. " Residents are usually young and healthy, ”says Dr. Stephen Brunton. "They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through.v Role-playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent walking. Then the erasatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore, undressing for X rays, filling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.At long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay. The staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them. Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking/' But by the end of a few hours, most says, ‘I'm exhausted,J "observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was doing up my collar.v And, to his surprise, "I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would costand how hard it was to go and pick it up." Weiss also learnt： "I realized how little I talk to patients. I might askthem about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed, eat OK, take your medicine?' ” Jeffrey Ortiz thought he wasin for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from “chest pains.” Instead he spent a sleepless night: u People were coming in to to labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor was bleeping, which was noisy and scary. ”Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy. Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. " By concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients9well-being,” observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63.According to the passage, the role-playing programme is designed _____ .A.as an innovative part in the local communityB.as part of the play the residents have to watchC.to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD.to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64.What does the phrase “the ersatz invalids" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Local patients who usually start out activated and joking.B.Students who make up their faces to look aged.C.Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.D.Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65.The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they _____ .A.fill in a Medicare tableB.are using the washroom on their ownC.are issued bedpans and told to try themD.meet with someone they know well66.What can be concluded according to the passage?A.Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.B.Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.C.Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients, health only by focusing on symptoms.D.Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgement.Section CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentencecan be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Social Integration一Welcoming the NewcomersSocial integration is the process through which minority groups interact, come together or are incoiporated within a community. Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society, and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community. How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic, social, political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society. ______ 67 __ This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races, and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social, cultural, economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighbourhoods, work places, schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. ____ 68 ___ E specially among the younger children, being in the same classas their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports, community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance. From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in school, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause. Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration. In fact, sport can strengthen social networks and promote non- violence and respect. In these ways, meaningful relationships among those of different ages, racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.__ 69 __ Still, countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped. Instead, it should be better managed so that migration is safe, legal and beneficial for everyone. _______ 70 __ Indeed the government and local communities play a key role in integrating these newcomers and empowering them to contribute to their new communities, while maintain their identities.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in nomore than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Seniority in Promotion Is Not Wise Business PracticeIt's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past, promotingan employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees9 past performance and seniority. In some case, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amountof time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out. However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are more likely to Generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sough by many companiesin order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs, companies have more to gain by selecting outside employeessince they are more willing to try new techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need towait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put, no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder. As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in theentire industry. As a result, they will begin to show more effort to bring the level of their work up to what they imagine is a much higher standard.第II卷V .

2019-2020学年上海市黄浦区教育学院附属中山学校高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.1. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Powerful to show one's feelings.B. Affecting each other.C. Attractive to the others.D. Being gentle to people around.2. When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.A. send wrong messagesB. hide true feelingsC. avoid misunderstandingD. win others, acceptance3. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?A. You will appear very attractive.B. It will help to soften his position.C. You will seem unacceptably proud.D. It willbe a good way to build trust.BIn Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.4. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _________.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. They don’t want to lose their retirement benefits.B. They are not adaptable people.C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. They get used to the teamwork.6. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twiceB. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workersC. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexibleD. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system7. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.CAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”8. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.9. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C. She played it with a baby.D. She was unconcerned about it.10. What's paragraph 5 mainly about?A. What Sandy did for her mother.B. People's reaction toSandy's post.C. The rising needs for baby dolls.D. HowSandybecame a celebrity.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News for Alzheimer's PatientsB. How to Remove Alzheimer's DiseaseC. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover MemoryDMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicyfood six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition14. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chilies第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Here are four simple, healthy and, dare we say, fun ways to help you slim down and stay healthy.Have your cake …for breakfastAside from being depressing, the way to __41__ weight loss isn’t by feeling deprived.Scientists say that people who started off the day with a __42__ felt fuller and more satisfied, and that led to their sticking with the program as the day went on. Being hungry is no way to start your day, so __43__ up with protein and a mouthful of something sweet. And most of all, enjoy! Sleep your way to weight lossDr. Andrew Calvin, one expert of Mayo Clinic study, is quoted as saying, “If individuals are seeking to maintain a healthy weight or to lose weight, they should seek to get enough sleep on a __44__ basis.”If you find it tricky to wind down at night, turn off the __45__ and engage in relaxing activities, like taking a bath or listening to __46__ music.Journal to drop poundsThe best __47__ for a dieter?

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and comprehend __51__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __52__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never __53__ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself –words. Taken individually, words have little__54__ until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, __55__, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously read one word at a time, often regressing to __56__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common __57__ habit in reading. Another bad habit which __58__ the speed of reading is vocalization – sounding each word either __59__ or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly __60__ rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to “__61__” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically __62__. At first comprehension is __63__ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill __64__ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.

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)Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago. She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Jane’s naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Anne’s family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory（象牙）, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 1995 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2007 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 1971 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still the re. You can visit Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died.66. What is the theme of Persuasion?A. Never regret what you’ve chosen.B. True love lasts forever.C. Be matched for marriage.D. Love waits for no man.67. Which of the following CANNOT describe Jane’s writing style?A. Her application of symbolism.B. Her delicate observations.C. Her focus on manners and morals.D. Her use of irony.68. Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 1995.D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.69. The article mainly talks about _______.A. Jane Austen’s unique writing styleB. the original residence of Jane AustenC. Jane Austen’s last novel: PersuasionD. the popularity of Jane Austen’s novels( B)70. The phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _____.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid71. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.A.be unable to get money from any LEAB.get money if taking a first degree courseC.get money from LEA when finishing his courseD.have to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A.None.B. £155.C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customer(C)Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. Anewspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor (谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _____.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death o r damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions,slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can’t be excused?Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts suggest drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most roads accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years because of __________.第II卷I.

Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.4. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.B. Making friends with local people.C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.D. Knowing local people and the country.5. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?A. People's special lifestyles.B. People's shopping habits.C. People's environmental awareness.D. People's packaging methods.6. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.B. Grocery stores are good social places.C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.7. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)A. B.C. D.CEven plant can run a fever，especially when they're under attack by insects or disease．But unlike human，plants can have their temperature taken from 3，000 feet away straight up．A decade ago，adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites，physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress．The goal was to let farmers precisely（精确的）target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field，which always includes plants that don't have pest problems．Evenbetter，Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye．Fixed on a plane flown at 3，000 feet at night，an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops．The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers"．Farmers could then spot﹣spray，using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would．The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984，after only three years．Farmers resisted thenewtechnology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find．But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements（改进）in infrared scanning，Paley hopes to get back into operation．Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works．"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，" says George Oerther of Texas A& M，who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture，thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade．But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago．8. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are ．A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. exposed to extreme sun raysD. inpoor physical condition9. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely，we can use infrared scanning to ．A draw a color1﹣coded mapB evaluate the damage to the cropsC. locate the problem areaD. measure the size of the affected area10. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production11. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．A. full support from agricultural expertsB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceD. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on cropsDPlanned missions to the moon need to hurry up to avoid hitting one of the busiest periods for extreme space weather, according to scientists conducting the most in-depth ever research on solar storm timing.Scientists at theUniversityofReadingstudied 150 years of space weather data to look into patterns in thetiming of the most extreme events,which can be extremely dangerous to astronauts and satellites. This new research on space weather timing allows predictions to be made for extreme space weather. Therefore, it could be used to plan the timing of activities, which could be affected by extreme space weather, for example, major space missions.The researchers found for the first time that extreme space weather events are more likely to occur early in or late solar cycles-such as the one just starting. The findings may have influences on the NASA-led Artemis mission. It plans to make humans return to the moon in 2024, but can be put off to the late 2020s.Professor Mathew Owens, a space physicist at theUniversityofReading, said, “Until now, the most extreme space weather events were thought to berandomin their timing. Though there is no set pattern of the events, this research suggests they are more predictable.”In the new study, the scientists used a new method applying statistical modelling to storm timing for the first time. Previous research generally focused on how big extreme space weather events can be, based on observations of previous events. Predicting their timing is far more difficult because extreme events are rare, so there is ly little historic data to identify patterns. The findings suggest that any major planned space missions , which is beyond the next five years, will have to consider the higher probability of extreme space weather late in the present solar cycle between 2026 and 2030.12. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?A. It has lasted just 150 years.B. It doesn't refer to space weather data.C. It shows space weather has no effect on astronauts.D. It makes it possible to predict extreme space weather.13. Why might the NASA-led Artemis mission be put off?A. To research solar cycles.B. To avoid effects of space weather.C. To meet the needs of the astronauts.D. To make humans return to Earth in 2024.14. What does the underlined word “random“ in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Irregular.B. Easy.C. Limited.D. Changeless.15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The study is useful for future space missions.B. The planned space missions should be put off.C. Extreme space weather will happen before 2026.D. Previous observations make no difference to the study.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年上海市黄浦学校高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAmid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a two - week supply of water and food.PotatoesShelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark placeYukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to spoil faster.Tea※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" dateDried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a year or more if they' re not subjected to damp or humidity. However, the tea does tend to lose flavor over time.Peanuts● Shelf life：1 to 2 monthsPeanuts in their shell, especially when kept cool and dry, are perfectly happy in the cupboard for as long as two months.Canned fruits and vegetables● Shelf life：1 to 2 years past "sell - by” dateCanningis an extremely efficient means of preserving food. Generally speaking, if canned foods aren't subjected to extreme heat, their contents should stay good for two years or more. Be aware, however, of dented cans or those with swollen tops, which may indicate the presence of bacteria inside.1. Which can go bad faster if stored with onions?A. Potatoes.B. Tea.C. Peanuts.D. Canned fruits and vegetables.2. What is special about tea?A. The flavor of tea can always remain the same.B. Tea leaves are better to be preserved in an open jar.C. Tea leaves should be kept away from the state of being wet.D. The maximum length of time that tea can be stored is 6 months.3. What may shorten the "sell - by” date of canned foods ?A. Shapes of cans.B. Categories of foods.C. Decline of the temperature.D. Exposure to high temperature.BAs summer approaches, many kids and teenagers may find that they have more time in hand. One great way to make use of the extra time is to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that takingthe risk and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in upstate New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill (灌输) a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on life. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe(敬畏) of the geological influences that shaped the canyon.Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine.When I visited Maine last fall, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and the tall trees and coasts that exist, and I really hope to enjoy the beauty of nature there this summer.4. We can learn from the first paragraph about the author?A. He is an adventurous person by natureB. He likes challenging himself by travellingC. He enjoys travelling with other adventurersD He needs others’ help when going on an adventure5. Which of the following can make people’s adventure more enjoyable according to the author？A. Going to different countries.B. Going to unfamiliar places.C. Travelling withtheir family or friends.D. Travelling to distant places by themselves.6. What will the author do this summer？A. Explore Niagara Falls.B. Hike in the Grand Canyons.C. Camp out in upstate New York.D. Hike and camp out in Maine.7. Who is probably the author?A. A high school student.B. A college student.C. A friendly guide.D. A warm-hearted teacher.CA city inSouth Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about30 kmnorthwest of the capital,Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, and I hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.8. What do the underlined words “smartphone zombies” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Drivers driving after drunk.B. Pedestrians buried in their phones.C. Passengers crazy about phones.D. Policemen in charge of traffic.9. What do we know about the warning system?A. It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.B. It has been spread nationwide.C. It gives a warning to the smartphones.D. It is being tried out in many places.10. What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?A. Negative.B. Unconcerned.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.11. What is the best title for the text?A.South KoreaWarns Smartphone Zombies of TrafficB. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent AccidentsC. Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic AccidentsD.South KoreaUses a New Traffic SystemDDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!12. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.13. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.14. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.15. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.A. show her guilt for her daughterB. prove that riding is a tough taskC. persuade her daughter to give upD. indicate she was proud of Emalee3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A. Never say die.B. Do nothing by halves.C. Children are what the mothers are.D. Every mother's child is handsome.BCraig Blackburn, a father and car fan, built a Batmobile for his son’s hope for using the vehicle to brighten the lives of sick children. And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the carmade its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.4. What is Craig Blackburn’s initial purpose of making the Batmobile?A. To realize his son’s dream.B. To donate it to sick children.C. To pay his respects to the film Dark Knight.D. To show off at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.5. How did Blackburn feel about the car-making at first?A. Hopeful.B. Confused.C. Impossible.D. Unsure.6. How did Blackburn’s friend help him?A. By making an outer shell for him.B. By offering him financial support.C. By sharing the knowledge of building cars.D. By telling him the background of the car factory.7. What is the car lovers’ expectation of the Batmobile?A. It will be driven soon on the roads.B. It can be displayed around the world.C. It can change the lives of sick children.D. It will appear in the next film about Batman.CJapan has announced emergency Covid measures in Tokyo and three other areas in order to control rising infections (传染病), just three months before the country is set to host the Olympics. The government said the state of emergency — set to last for about two weeks— would be “short and powerful”. Under the measures, bars will be required to close and big sporting events will be held without audience. The government has insisted that the Olympics will go ahead in July.Prime minister Yoshihide Suga announced the measures on Friday, saying they would begin on Sunday and remain in place until 11 May. In addition to to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo will be affected. It has marked the third state of emergency in japan since the pandemic began. “I sincerely apologize for causing trouble for many people again,” he said. “It is feared that infection in major cities will spread across the whole country if we take no measures.”Under the rules, major facilities like department stores will close, as well as restaurants, bars, and KTV rooms serving alcohol. Restaurants that do not serve alcohol are being told to close early, and companies are being asked to make arrangements for people to work remotely. Schools will remain open. Besides, the emergency measurescoincide withthe country’s “Golden Week” holiday, which runs from late April to the first week of May and is the busiest travel period of the year. Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike urged residents to start taking precautions immediately. In an effort to discourage people from going out at night. She said neon signs (霓虹灯) would be turned off.The coronavirus toll in Japan has been much lower than that in many other countries, with about 558,000cases and fewer than 10,000 deaths, according to figures collected by Johns Hopkins University. But there are concerns over the latest rise in infections, with reports of hospital bed shortages in some areas.Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto said at a news conference on Friday that organizers were not considering canceling the event. “I hope the coronavirus situation improves with the prevention measures the government, Tokyo, and other regional governments have put into place,” she said. “We, as Tokyo 2020, continue to wish for the swift return to normal and will continue to work closely to make sure a safe and secure Olympics can happen.”8.

Which words can best describe the government’s action?A. generous and brilliant.B. costly but useless.C. positive and considerate.D. accidental but efficient.11. What does the underlined phrase “coincide with” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. meet withB. deal withC. make upD. set upDFor 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the averagetemperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The information of industrial revolution.B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C. The reasons of climate change.D. The result of extreme weather events.13. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We have made great achievements.B. Some measures are still required to take.C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.14. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Long Live Planet Earth!B.Environment Changes Rapidly!C. What Serious Global Warming!D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B.C.

Though this procedure (程序) has only been successfully performed on animals so far, doctors are still hopingto perform this procedure on humans. However, in my opinion, brain transplants should not be performed at all, especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.Despite many benefits technology brings. I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adults our mind developed into who we are, so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. No one should steal our identity from us, even if we are seriously injured, and change it to a completely new one. Also for the people who have died with healthy brains, that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are “healthy” or “normal” brains. An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as younger person’s brain. Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it? This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence, sex, or physical problems that a person might have had before death. Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept “alive” after death and how it can be kept “alive” without damage.Overall. my feelings about this operation are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and challenges that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful.4. Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all?A. The cost of the operation is extremely high.B. Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants.C. A good many problems and side effects may arise.D. This procedure has only been successful on animals5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. People shouldn’t give their healthy brains to others.B. Having a brain transplant means losing one’s identity.C. Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones.D. Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others.6. What is the writers’ attitude towards brain transplants an humans?A. indifferentB. favorableC. disapprovingD. objective7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To encourage brain donation.B. To stress the importance of brain operation.C. Toargue against brain transplants on humans.D. To introduce the technology of brain transplants.CA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently theGettyMuseumissued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feelintimidatedand think that there’s a baselevel of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.8. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artworks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.9. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.10. In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.11. We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.DWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4：30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems.

I'm sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) ________ (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) ________ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I've long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ________ (hide) in an empty moon-cake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ________ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don't have to buy (25) ________ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead（铅芯）. You can simply refill your mechanical pencil. There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) ________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) ________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John, stop that! You're going to get lead poisoning!" I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) ________ (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29) ________ ________ the moon-cake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the moon-cake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that three would always be a new pencil for me (30) ________ (use) tomorrow.4Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Science Isn't Always Perfect -- But We Should Still Trust It From environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims. Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political __31__. When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, "because it's science!"For several decades, there has been a(n) __32__ and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are __33__ by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn't wrong, but for many people it's not __34__. After all, just because scientists more than 400 years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn't prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question -- Why trust science? -- is that scientists use "the scientific method." If you've got a high school science textbook lying around the house, you'll probably find that answer in it. But this answer is wrong. But what is __35__ declared to be the scientific method -- develop a hypothesis（假设）, then design an experiment to test it -- isn't what scientists actually do. Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science __36__ changes: new methods get invented, old ones get __37__, and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things. And that's a good thing, because the so-called scientific method doesn't work. False theories can produce true5results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn't prove the theory that was __38__ to test it is true. There also might be many different theories that could produce that same __39__ result. On the contrary, if the experiment fails, it doesn't prove the theory is wrong: it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the __40__.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Travelling, at least travelling any considerable distance, means dealing with airports. I've seen my share of airports. They come in several __41__. The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both __42__ by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada's Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two __43__ on our flight.At the other extreme are the __44__, modern airports in the world's major cities. LAX, in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you. Some, such as Beijing's Capital International Airport, SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco, like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, have __45__ terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals, which can be a little __46__.Heathrow airport in London, England, __47__ that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various __48__ and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the __49__ that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won't announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and __50__ your gate, some of which are a 15-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no __51__ for this because the airport6authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I'm waiting for another, what I want is a quiet place, not an area __52__ bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel, for me, is interesting but when I have to fly, getting there is __53__ not half the fun. Airplanes are very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n) __54__ part of the process. Most airport do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be __55__, not really enjoyed.41. A. types B. cities C. areas D. sizes42. A. identified B. handled C. promoted D. processed43. A. guards B. astronauts C. pilots D. passengers44. A. tremendous B. crowded C. international D. fashionable45.

A. effective B. optional C. necessary D. suitable55. A. simplified B. endured C. declared D. paralleledSection BDirections: Read the following two passage. 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)7Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies（传记）about herself and begin to note in. "I never did that" or "simply not true" she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even "bloggers" had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit. Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors. Lately, however, she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness. Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset, should they ever catch her out. After all she was the decisive one, always on top of her game. A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table. A full day of openings and presentations, of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood, she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph considered she needed to read, she simply went to visit Mr. Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream, served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache. So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls. Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watched eye of her grandmother, who was a stickler for good manners. It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days, what with all the concern about childhood fatness, but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey. As the timetable for Line-burst line flashed in front of her, she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short, predictable speech at the opening of the now bridge.56. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B. The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C. The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D. Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57. Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A. She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.8B. She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C. She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter wasD. Today's children aren't allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58. A "Sparten menu" (paragraph 4) would most likely ________________________.a. have mainly low fat, healthy foods B. be suitable for a romantic dinnerC. include a range of sweets, but no jellyD. include foods which are easy to transport59. What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A. The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B. The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C. Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D. The main character will update her blog on the internet.(B)Canals have to be built on a level, otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless. This was the great problem facing the early canal builders, and they overcame it in different ways. The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers, such as Thomas Telford, developed a new technique known as 'cut and fill' in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying. This allowed them to fill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took from the higher ground. By this method, very direct routes could be taken, which cut down the time of a journey very considerably. A good example of this type of canal is Telford's Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal, which he began in 1826 to provide a direct route from the Midlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal, of course, whichever method was used, and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered to new levels. If you look at the diagram on the right, you can see a barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin, or pound, from the upper level of the canal. When a barge had to be lowered, water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level of the canal.960. Brindley's canals were less efficient, most likely because ________.A. he was not a good canal engineerB. the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC. his canals were built to keep the water drains outD. they had too many roundabout routes61. According to this passage, why was the 'cut and fill' technique designed?A. The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B. It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C. New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D. The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62. Locks are needed in canals to ________________.A. help boats to travel in both directionsB. keep water levels changing all the timeC. allow large ships to travel in canalsD. transfer boats across differing water levels(C)In the ancient world, the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic. That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today -- that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary. He travelled across Greece teaching medicine, encouraging the view that disease had physical, not super-natural, explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath, a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life, swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm. One of Hippocrates' theories was of the 'four humours', a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body -- blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile (a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to10digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only 150 years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body's internal balance. But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile, they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using carefully observation and logical thought.Aristotle, political theorist, philosopher and teacher, also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view. He was the first to classify organisms, and although his method may seem simple now, he divided them into two basic categories, as either plant or animal -- he was the first to do so. Aristotle valued experimentation are discovered that evaporation, the process of becoming a vapour, turned salt water into fresh water. He was also believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements -- fire, earth, water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours, related to the four liquids in the body, were each in line with organ, a season and with different moods. The four were based on the Greeks' idea of four base elements ( water, fire, earth). Although discredited now, the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the century. They were:- Blood from the liver; associated with Spring; with courage and hope- Phlegm from brain and lungs; Winter; calm and unemotional- Yellow bile from gall bladder（胆囊）: Summer; anger and bad temper- Black bile from spleen（脾脏）: Autumn; with blue and dark mood63. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B. The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C. Hippocrates thought disease was caused by imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D. Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64. The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that ________A. the blood was polluted by virusesB. the human body was not evenly balanced11C. the patient was in a bad humourD. too much blood was bad for people65. How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A. He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B. He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C. He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D. He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66. Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A. He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B. He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C. He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D. He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Adolescents Worldwide Not Sufficiently Physically Active New WHO-led study says majority of adolescents worldwide are not sufficiently physically12active, putting their current and future health at risk. ________67________ "Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to promote and keep up girls' participation in physical activity," says study author Dr Regina Gut-hold, WHO.The health benefits of a physically active lifestyle during adolescence include improved heart and lungs fitness, bone health and positive effects on weight. There is also growing evidence that physical activity has a positive impact on cognitive development and socializing.________68________.To achieve these benefits, the WHO recommends for adolescents to do moderate or vigorous physical activity for an hour or more each day. The authors estimated 80 percent of teems do not meet this recommendation by analysing data collected through school-based surveys on physical activity levels.________69________ Urgent scaling up is needed of known effective policies and programmes to increase physical activity in adolescents. Multisectoral action is needed to offer opportunities for young people to be active, involving education, urban planning, road safety and others. The highest levels of society, including national, city and local leaders, should promote the importance of physical activity for the health and well-being of all people, including adolescents.________70________ Strong political will and action can address the fact that four in every five adolescents do not experience the enjoyment and social, physical, and mental health benefits of regular physical activity. Policy makers and stakeholders should be encouraged to act now for the health of this and future young generations.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Singapore's Information Technology StrategySingapore's information technology strategy rests on two major legs. The first leg is world-class basic facilities. Being a city-state, it is relatively easy to connect every home, office and hotel room. Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere, either wired or wireless. We will make it a readily available utility like water, electricity, gas and telephone. We are well on our way there.13We now require, by regulation, every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT (information technology). Like reading, writing and arithmetic, computers are best learnt when we are young. Today's children can click the mouse faster than we can blink. In many countries, children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology. But, without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT. Like the piano and violin, one can still learn the computer as an adult. But rarely does one acquire the same facility. The strategy in Singapore is therefore to teach information technology to every child regardless of his family background. The Education Ministry now has a multi-billion dollar programme to provide one computer for every 2 schoolchildren in Singapore from first grade onwards. Every teacher will have a notebook.Most Singaporeans now understand the importance of IT, if not for themselves, at least for their children and grandchildren. Over 40% of households in Singapore now own PCs. Over one-third of households in Singapore already enjoy access to Internet. What we want is for every Singaporean to be computer literate so that he can function effectively in any bank, factory or restaurant, just as one would expect an employee to be able to read, write and count. An employer in Singapore in the future should not have to worry that his employee does not now how to use a computer or the Internet.第II卷V.

If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, 21_________ (call) slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change 22_________ her eyes move under her closed lids. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs 23_________ (block) , so she can't run about.Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, a French scientist who was studying sleep in cats, 24_________ (interrupt) their sleep paralysis，the state of being unable to act or function properly. 25_________ _________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn't see and bent their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams!What were they dreaming about? Mostly,the dreaming cats seemed 26_________ (practise) important cat skills:following, pouncing, and fighting.In 27_________ study, Matt Wilson recorded rats’ brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫)．One day, he left the brainwave recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills 28_________ were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals，scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish 29_________ not. (They’re not sure about birds.) How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when 30_________ (lie) down.Section BA. cultivateB. reassuringC. opposingD. objectiveE. confidenceF. evidenceG. perceived H. functioning I. estimate J. existing K. scientismWhy doubt is essential to scienceThe confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them replied that it is a(n) 31 way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties. For example, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their 32 beliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?,” 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say “it depends.”But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, the paradox is that science, when properly 33 , questions accepted facts and yields both new knowledge and new questions—not certainty. Doubt does not 34trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?As a historian of science, I would argue that it’s the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often 35as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge a hypothesis. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new 36emerges from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are hypotheses that encompass the state of knowledge at a givenmoment. In the long run, many of are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it impels us towards a better understanding; certainties, as 37_ as they may seem, in fact undermine the scientific process.Scientists understand this, but in the 38 force between the public and science, there are two significant pitfalls. The first is a form of blind 39 — that is, a belief in the capacity of science to solve all problems. And the other is a form of relativism borne out of a lack of 40 in the very existence of truth.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.This era of "Industry 4.0" is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers,high-speed communication and artificial intelligence.This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can 41_________ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.In the manufacturing industry,where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division,this will mean a(n) 42_________ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. 43_________ robots focused on single,fixed, high-speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4.0 machines are flexible,cooperative and can operate more independently, which 44_________ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.For large-scale manufacturers,Industry 4.0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and 45_________ remotely.Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be 46_________ studied using what is known as "big data"analysis.This will help 47_________ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plant,for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically 48_________ it.For 49_________ manufacturing businesses,Industry 4.0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots.It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform 50_________ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes.This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for 51_________. While these machines are getting smarter,they are still not as smart as us.Today's industrial artificial intelligence operates at a 52_________ level,which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines,but designed by humans.What's coming next is known as“deep learning'".Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to 53_________ what is the best action to take.The 54_________ is that the machine learns from the data so it can improve its decision making.A perfect example of deep learning was 55_________ by Google's AlphaGosoftware,which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go players.pare with B.adapt to C.pick out D.hold on42.A.extensive B.accidental C.convenient D.dramatic43.A.Traditional B.Removable C.Fashionable D.Potential44.A.temporarily B.thoroughly C.eventually D.initially45.A.arranged B.evaluated C.monitored posed46.A.gradually B.collectively C.similarly D.approximately47.A.identify B.reserve C.exploit D.indicate48.A.dominating B.imposing C eliminating D.scheduling49.A.high-speed B.mass-produced C.small-to-medium D.multi-cultural50.A.multiple B.feasible C.profitable D.independent51.A.promotions B.improvements C.highlights D.resolutions52.A.separate B.peculiar C.narrow D.mysteriouse up with B.account for C.give way to D.make decisions about54.A.difference mission C.phenomenon D.expectation55.A.introduced B.described C.prepared D.demonstratedSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)For thousands of years,the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub.In fact,until a place has a church and a pub,it is not really considered a community worthy of a name.Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town,since it is where the people gather to socialize and exchange news.They are institutions at the heart of British society.After all,the word 'pub' is actually short for 'public house'.As a result, British pubs arc often old and well preserved.Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit.One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of called 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem,which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England.It was the same year in which King Richard the First came into power,who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria,but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens.Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society.On a cold night,the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire.There is alwayshonest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.That's how it used to be,but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change.Economic downturns, governmental financial measures, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that,in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs,which may also have affected the numbers of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11pm.Previously,with 11pm as closing time,customers would have to drink quite quickly,meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as'bingedrinking',and it causes long-term health problems for individuals and problems with violent crime for communities.The UK government is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the world.B.British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of life.C.Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bans.D.Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban.57.Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11pm?A.To stimulate customers to spend more on drinks.B.To help British pubs survive economic downturns.C.To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubs.D.To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain.58.The term“binge drinking'"in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describeA.drinking too much and too quicklyB.social problems related to British pubsC.a new long-term drinking approachD.problems caused by drinking too much59.What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A.Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.B.Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinking.C.The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubs.D Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones.(B)The Coming SeriesExpress Yourself!-The Art of CartooningTime:Thursday,January 6,18:30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Not really.Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice,age 30,and Schmitt a medical student,26.They have been assigned roles,ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients.It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors:lack of sympathy.“Residents are usually young and healthy."says Dr.Stephen Brunton."They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through."Role-playing programs give them a crash course.At Hunterdon, students’ faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on:gloves cripple fingers,and peas inside shoes prevent walking.Then the ersatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks:purchasing medication at the drugstore,undressing for X rays, filling out a Medicare form and,most awkward,using the bathroom themselves. At Long Beach,new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay.The staff treats them as they would any other patient,even sending them a bill.The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them.Some are even subjected to an indignity:spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking.“But by the end of a few hours,most say, “I'm exhausted."observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was doing up mycollar."And,to his surprise,“I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would cost and how hard it was to go and pick it up."Weiss also learnt:“I realized how little I talk to patients.I might ask them about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed,eat O.K, take your medicine?""Jeffroy Ortiz thought he was in for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit,suffering from“chest pains."Instead he spent a sleepless night:"People were coming in to do labs,the man in the next bed was groaning,and the heart monitor was bleeping,which was noisy and scary."Any patient could have told him so,but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy.Doctors have long defended taking a cool,dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout.But critics disagree.“By concentrating on symptoms and lab data,we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients' well-being,"observes Dr.Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63.According to the passage,the role-playing programme is designed _____ .A.as an innovative part in the local communityB.as part of the play the residents have to watchC.to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD.to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64.What does the phrase "the ersatz invalids"in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Local patients who usually start out activated and joking.B.Students who make up their faces to look aged.C.Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.D.Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65.The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when theyA.fill in a Medicare tableB.are using the washroom on their ownC.are issued bedpans and told to try themD.meet with someone they know well66.What can be concluded according to the passage?A.Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.B.Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.C.Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients 'health only by focusing on symptoms.D.Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgment.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be usedonly once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Social integration is no doubt a continuous changing process.B. Formal education is one common platform that brings together diversified groups.C.Integration also takes place in various arts programmes which are supported by local community.D.Concerted efforts are made to ensure there are equal opportunities for migrants regardless of their backgrounds.E.Societies are better off if they promote social integration through common practices that reduce tension,discrimination and poverty.F Social integration should be guided in reasonable steps and stimulated by local governments.Social Integration-Welcoming the NewcomersSocial integration is the process through which minority groups interact,come together or are incorporated within a community.Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society,and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community.How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic,social,political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society.67_________ This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life.There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races,and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social,cultural,economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighborhoods, work places,schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. 68_________Especially among the younger children,being in the same class as their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports,community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance.From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in schools, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause.Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration.In fact,sport can strengthen social networks and promote non-violence and respect. In these ways,meaningful relationships among those of different ages,racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.69_________ Still,countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped Instead,it should be better managed so that migration is safe,legal and beneficial for everyone.70_________ Indeed,the government and local communities play a key role in integrating these newcomers and empowering them to contribute to their new communities,while maintaining their identities.IV.Summary Writing。

When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them repliedthat it is a(n) ___ 31 __ way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties. Forexample, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their _________ 32 __ b eliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?" 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say "it depends” .But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, science, when properly _____ 33 __ , questions accepted facts and leads to both new knowledge and new questions——not certainty. Doubt does not __ 34 __ trust, nor does it help public understanding.

Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new ____ 36 ___ emerges from either experimentation or observation.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub, it is not really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to socialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of British society. After all, the word 'pub' is actually short for 'public house'.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of Nottingham called 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem J, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which King Richard the First came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thafs how it used to be, but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financial measure, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the members of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as ' binge drinking',and it causes long-term health problems for individuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UKgovernment is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the world.B.British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of life.C.Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bans.D.Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban.57.Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm?A.To stimulate customers to spend more on drinks.B.To help British pubs survive economic downturns.C.To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubs.D.To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain.58.The term “binge drinking,,in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describe ________ .A.drinking too much and too quicklyB. social problems related to British pubsC. a new long term drinking approachD. problems caused by drinking too much59.What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A.Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.B.Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinking.C.The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubs.D.Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones.The Coming SeriesExpress Yourself!-The Art of CartooningTime: Thursday, January 6,18:30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Books and filmsC. Entertainment and interactionD. Heroes and achievements(C)Ellen Weiss can hardly see. David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's crudest blows? Not really. Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26. They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. " Residents are usually young and healthy, ”says Dr. Stephen Brunton. "They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through.v Role-playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent walking. Then the erasatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore, undressing for X rays, filling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.At long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay. The staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them. Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking/' But by the end of a few hours, most says, ‘I'm exhausted,J "observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was doing up my collar.v And, to his surprise, "I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would costand how hard it was to go and pick it up." Weiss also learnt： "I realized how little I talk to patients. I might askthem about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed, eat OK, take your medicine?' ” Jeffrey Ortiz thought he wasin for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from “chest pains.” Instead he spent a sleepless night: u People were coming in to to labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor was bleeping, which was noisy and scary. ”Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy. Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. " By concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients9well-being,” observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63.According to the passage, the role-playing programme is designed _____ .A.as an innovative part in the local communityB.as part of the play the residents have to watchC.to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD.to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64.What does the phrase “the ersatz invalids" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Local patients who usually start out activated and joking.B.Students who make up their faces to look aged.C.Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.D.Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65.The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they _____ .A.fill in a Medicare tableB.are using the washroom on their ownC.are issued bedpans and told to try themD.meet with someone they know well66.What can be concluded according to the passage?A.Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.B.Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.C.Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients, health only by focusing on symptoms.D.Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgement.Section CDirections：Read the following passage.

Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society, and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community. How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic, social, political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society. ______ 67 __ This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races, and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social, cultural, economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighbourhoods, work places, schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. ____ 68 ___ E specially among the younger children, being in the same classas their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports, community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance. From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in school, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause. Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration. In fact, sport can strengthen social networks and promote non- violence and respect. In these ways, meaningful relationships among those of different ages, racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.__ 69 __ Still, countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped. Instead, it should be better managed so that migration is safe, legal and beneficial for everyone. _______ 70 __ Indeed the government and local communities play a key role in integrating these newcomers and empowering them to contribute to their new communities, while maintain their identities.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions：Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.Seniority in Promotion Is Not Wise Business PracticeIt's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past, promotingan employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees9 past performance and seniority. In some case, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amountof time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out. However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are more likely to Generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sough by many companiesin order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs, companies have more to gain by selecting outside employeessince they are more willing to try new techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need towait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put, no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder. As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in theentire industry. As a result, they will begin to show more effort to bring the level of their work up to what they imagine is a much higher standard.第II卷V .
