嘉定一中2018学年第一学期高三学业水平练习（一）英语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.Spare Time To Read,Reading is not just about learning a certain skill. Nor it is just about learning how to create prettier combination of words. Reading is the best form of communication ___21___ is in a higher rank than more conversation. Many successful people ___22___（share）the same kind of wisdom so far that if you want to become a kind of person you should try your best to spend time with this kind of people. If you want to become ___23___ with good manners, you should try to make friends with people who have good manners. If you want to become someone knowledgeable, you should try to stay in touch with ___24___（learn）people. If you want to become someone successful, you surely should communicate with those ___25___ are actually successful. But unfortunately, outstanding people are usually far away from us. If you yourself are not outstanding enough, it's almost impossible for you ____26___（reach）them. And this is what reading is for.A book is the picture of a great mind. Through reading you ___27___ communicate with those great minds. And this kind of communication is beyond time and space. Reading can bring you ___28___ ______ the cage of your daily life. It shows you new opportunities that you've never seen. For a lot of people, this may be the only method to change their lives. ___29___ ______ ______ busy you are, don't forget to spare some time to do it. If you don't find yourself time to read, you'll eventually find ___30___ without any time to live the life that you want to live.Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note thatA good night’s sleep is of great importance for the learning and memory process. It’s important because it stores the training exercises and the learning exercises into our more ___31___ memory while we’re sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. And then the next morning when you wake up your mind is better prepared to act on that information.But what about getting rest during the middle of the day? Short ___32___ of sleep may help our brains work better, or so says a recent study on napping. Taking a nap may also help this group of people fight off ___33___ memory loss. Many Americans do nap. But one-third of all adults in the United States are also chronically tired, notes the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It found that 50 million to 70 million Americans have chronic sleep ___34___. So, someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not experience the same ___35___ from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would. Also, many people may not want to admit that they take a nap. They may think that napping shows they are weak or lack energy. That only kids, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is not an ___36___ opinion.In fact, Americans sometimes do a very strange thing. Some brag about how few hours of sleep they need each night. Health experts ___37___ that adults get seven to eight hours of sleep each night. People who claim they only sleep five hours a night may think they are somehow stronger than the ___38___ human-superhuman, if you will.However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms and napping cafes are ___39___ in many U.S. cities, including Washington, D.C. While resting in the middle of the work day may seem like a ___40___ to Americans, napping is very much part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world.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.It’s amazing how little we have developed in many respects. We may speak without respect of the poor old Romans because they ___41___ the craziness of slaughter（杀戳）that went on in their playing fields. We may ___42___ them because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such ___43___ interest? Human beings remain as blood-thirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were ___44___ enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to ___45___ sports which should have been banned long ageIt really is ___46___ that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men strike violently and repeatedly each other to be badly injured in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and ___47___ into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is not true. People take part in violent sports because of the high ___48___ they bring. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been ___49___ of the extreme pleasure of witnessing long-lasting torture and violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are ___50___. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally. But at least we no longer ___51___ the sight that mad men were shut up in cages, which were ___52___ in the past. Prisons are no longer the forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to ___53___ wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to ___54___ the law. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to ___55___ mankind. We would recognize that violence is harmful to the mind or morals.41.A. hated B.enjoyed C.praised D.adopted42.A. brag B.beg C.struggle D.forgive43.A. universal B.local C.foreign D.overseas44.A. rude B.special C.honest D.strange45.A. fight B.protect C.protest D.defend46.A. incredible B.incomplete C.inactive D.impossible47.A. breaking B.tearing C.testing D.bursting48.A. prizes B.rewards C.favors D.efforts49.A. deleted B.left C.deprived D.crashed50.A. unstable B.unpaid C.uncivilized D.unsatisfactory51.A. tolerate B.punish C.settle D.discuss52.A. common B.popular C.fashionable D.obvious53.A. disappear B.contribute C.attribute D.distribute54.A. spoil B.change C.modify D.polish55.A. searching B.seeking C.improving D.emergingSection 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 just read.（A）Kids should be allowed to learn to judge their own work. A kid learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, kids learn to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a kid a change to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other kids if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the kid when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the kids learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.56.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ___.A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD.not really important skills57.According to the passage, the best way for kids to learn things is by _____.A.listening to skilled people’s adviceB.asking older people many questionsC.making mistakes and having them correctedD.doing what other people do58.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?A.Give kids correct answers.B. Allow kids to make mistakes.C.Point out kids’ mistakes to them.D.Let kids mark their own work.59.According to the writer, teachers in school should ___.A.point out kids’ mistakes whenever foundB.allow kids to learn from each otherC.give kids more book knowledgeD.always correct kids’ mistakes（B）HOW YOUR MONEY HELPSMembership activities made a contribution of over £ 3 million to the Museum last year. Your support plays a vital role, thank you. Join now!In 2015 Members responded to an appeal to acquire the Stoney Waterloo Album. Through their extraordinary generosity, and that of the American Friends of the British Museum, the Museum secured this historic album in the 200th anniversary year of the Battle of Waterloo.Visit Designed by Sir Robert Smirke and completed in 1857, the Grade 1 listed Bloomsbury building requires frequent and paintaking work to maintain it. For much of the past year regular work has been undertaken to the main portico(门廊) as part of ongoing, vital repairs to the stonemasonry(石雕).The British Museum is a museum of the citizen ---its collection is for the whole of the UK. Last yar 3 million visitors saw British Museum objects on display in museums and galleries across the UK. The Sikh fortress turban tour has been the most popular, reaching over 250,000 visitors and nine museums across the country.Visit citizen.britishmuseum. org to learn more.One of the most ambit ions buildings developments in the British Museum’s history--- the World Conservation and Exhibitions Centre—was completed with the support of our Members. The building in the northwest corner of the Museum site houses new state-of-the-art conservation and science laboratories, new storage facilities, a loans hub, and the Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery.Visit buildings. The Portable Antiquities Scheme(PAS), managed by the British Museum, recently announced the discovery of a significant Viking store of valuables in Oxfordshire. The PAS offers the only mechanism for recording such finds, which are made publicly available on its online database at .60.According to the passage, you can infer that _______.A.this is an introduction to the British MuseumB.this is a page from a science magazineC.this is a page from the homepage of the British MuseumD.this is an advertisement on a page of the British Museum61.If you want to know more about the museum of the citizen, you can visit _____.B.citizen. @D.buildings. 62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The Battle of Waterloo happened in the year 1915.B.Three million visitors saw British Museum objects on display in museum in 2015.C.The Grade Ⅰ listed Bloomsbury building can be visited in Oxfordshire.D.Membership activities push forward the development of the British Museum.（C）Living in the U.S.A today is to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf’s words there are social changes everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it does not exist naturally. A spear （矛）or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went wrong and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists（悲观主义者）worry that we will use our technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who say that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historicalmilestones, particularly the Industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the Industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was a revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The Industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that poses the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.63.A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it ____.A.is severed both as a cultural and a physical objectB.has different purposesC.is useful to both man and animalsD.is made use of by human beings64.The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl show that ____.A.technology can be used to destroy our earth if it is not controlled by manB.technology belongs to man, so we should be responsible for itC.technology is likely to be wrong because it is a human creationD.technology never goes wrong unless it is used by man65.According to the author, why the introduction of the computer is a revolution is that _____.A.the computer has made the human mind smarter than beforeB.the computer can finish the work that could only be done by people beforeC.the computer has greatly affected society potentiallyD.the computer has brought human beings an information technology66.By using the phrase“the human quality of technology”in Para.2, the author refers to the fact that technology____.A.has affected the human life greatlyB.can replace some ways of human beingsC.has various qualities which human beings do not haveD.has some characteristics which human beings haveSection CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceLego recently announced that they will start producing pieces from sustainable sugar cane. The toys, which will be indistinguishable from classic Legos, will also feature botanical elements like levels, bushes, and trees. ___67___ “We want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials,”said Tim Brooks, vice president, environmental responsibility at the Lego Group, in a statement.“This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all Lego bricks using sustainable materials.”___68___ It is a soft, durable and flexible plastic—technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic. Lego says that we needn’t worry about the quality of the new products, as they’ve tested the plant-based plastic to ensure that it meets the high standards for quality and safety that consumers except from the company. ___69___ Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements, because plant-based polyethylene has the same properties as conventional polyethylene.The move is part of Lego’s campaign to use sustainable materials in its core products and packaging by 2030, a move in which they have already invested $165 million. According to a research report, 4% of the world’s petroleum is used as a raw material to make plastic, and another 4% is used in the plastic-making process. ___70___ With this in mind, Lego has partnered with WWF to play their part, joining the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance（BFA），which supports the responsible development of plastics made from plant material.The LEGO Group’s decision to pursue sustainably sourced bio-based plastics represents an incredible opportunity to reduce dependence on limited resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage. 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.Why Starbucks In China Is So ExpensiveChina’s national television network CCTV recently launched another of its campaigns against yet another foreign brand that has become hugely popular in China: Starbucks. The report intended to spark something about the Starbucks Pricing Controversy and compared the price of a latte at Starbucks in China with those in other countries around the world, the Price of a 354ml Medium Cup Latte—27 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Beijing; 24.25 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in London, UK; 19.98yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Chicago, USA; 14.6 yuan RMB at a Starbucks in Bombay, India.The report basically was true: Starbucks in China is more expensive than pretty much anywhere else in the world. But it completely missed the point: Regarding the cost structure, as others have pointed out, they have a high cost model for producing coffee beverages and other products. Principally, they are often located in high rent areas, and are optimized（使…最优化）for service quality rather than cost-efficiency. Regarding how they are able to charge such high prices, it’s largely a product of branding and convenience.In china, Starbucks, and many other ca fé chains like them, don’t just sell caffeinated beverages, they provide a luxury service for middle and upper class consumers; they sell class consciousness, status. The fact that they are expensive is one of their biggest selling points. It is a well kno wn fact that Starbucks is expensive, and this isn’t a commercially inhibiting factor, it’s one of the chain’s best marketing strategies. Starbucks doesn’t just sell coffee in China, but sells status. It’s the same rule for just about every other company ma rketing its good and services towards China’s money classes: luxury items in China are far more expensive than in the West for no other reason than the fact that this country has a rather large, new rich consumer class which desires the status symbols to separate themselves from the masses.Ⅴ. TranslationDirections：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.所有成功人士都知道每一分钟都很重要。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life--- and less time talking about the weather?It may sound counterintuitive（违反直觉的）, but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, said Matthias Mehl, a psychologist at the University of Arizona who published a study on the ___31___.“We found this so interesting, because it could have gone the other way — it could have been ‘Don't worry, be happy’ — as long as you surf on the ___32___ level of life you're happy, and if you go into the essential depths you'll be unhappy,” Dr. Mehl said.But, he ___33___, deep conversation seemed to hold the ___34___ to happiness for two main reasons: both because human beings are driven to find and create ___35___ in their lives, and because we are social animals who want and need to ___36___ with other people.“By engaging in meaningful conversations, we manage to impose meaning on a(n) ___37___ pretty messy world,”Dr. Mehl said.“And interpersonally, as you find this meaning, you bond with your interactive partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and integration is a core ___38___ foundation of happiness.”Dr. Mehl’s study was small and doesn’t ___39___ a cause-and-effect relationship between the kind of conversations one has and one’s happiness.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D.

Economics students in Germany are more likely than those from other majors to recommend an overpriced plumber (水管工) when they are paid to do it. Economics majors tend to rate __42__ as “generally good,” “correct,” and “moral” more than their peers.Does studying economics change people? Maybe not. It could be self-selection: students who already believe in self-interest are __43__ to economics. But this doesn't exclude the possibility that studying economics pushes people further toward the selfish extreme. By spending time with like-minded people, economics students may become __44__ that selfishness is widespread and reasonable -- or at least that giving is rare and foolish.“As a business school professor, these effects worry me, as economics, __45__ every aspect of our lives, is taught widely in business schools, providing a __46__ for courses in management, finance, and accounting.” says Frank.If economics can __47__ pro-social behavior, which is central to the well-being of people or society, what should we do about it? A change in economics and business __48__ is suggested. Courses in behavioral economics, which considers the role of “social preferences” like __49__, fairness and cooperation, are required for students of economics major. In fact, economics courses not involving some behavioral economics are considered both an ___50___ education and a poor preparation to be a practising economist.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them in passage A, B, and C. 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）It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for“Six days shall you labor and do all your work”was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for string (线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,”I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!”I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling, “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breczc. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on.”I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of – what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good.

The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that _____.A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war（B）A team of U.S. and Ethiopian scientists has discovered the fossilized（变为化石的）remains of what they believe is humankind’s first walking ancestor, a hominid（原始人）that lived in the wooded grasslands of the Horn of Africa nearly 4 million years ago.The bones were discovered in February at a new site called Mile, in the northern African region of Ethiopia. They are considered to be 3.8-4 million years old. The fossil include a complete tibia（胫骨）from the lower part of the leg, parts of a high-bone, ribs, vertebrae（脊椎）, a collar-bone, pelvis（骨盆）and a complete shoulder-blade. There also is an ankle bone which, with the tibia, proves they walked upright.The bones are the latest in a growing collection of early human ones that help explain the development history of man.“Right now we can say this is the world’s oldest bipedal---an animal walking on two feet and what makes this important is because what makes us human is walking upright,”Latimer said.“This new discovery will give us a picture of how our 4-million-year-old ancestors walked upright. It opens the door on a poorly known period and it will help us understand the early periods of human evolution（演化）before Lucy.”Paleontologists（古生物学家）before discovered in Ethiopia the remains of Ardipithecus-ramidus, a traditional part with important ape characteristics dating as far back as 4.5 million years but there is some argument over whether it walked upright on two legs. Scientists know little about A. ramidus. A few skeletal bones suggest it was even smaller than Australopithecus afarensis, the 3.2 million-year-old species known by the nearly complete“Lucy”fossil.Scientists are yet to classify the new find, which they believe falls between A. ramidus and A. afarensis. The fossil would help join the two parts. “It is a once in a lifetime find ,” latimer said.60. The passage mainly tells readers that ______.A. a bone was discovered in EthiopiaB. there is a once in a lifetime find in EthiopiaC. remains discovered in Ethiopia may be the oldest walking hominidD. human evolution before Lucy is completely known61. Which of the following can prove whether humans can walk upright?A. The thigh-bone and ribs.B. The ankle bones and tibia.C. The tibia and vertebrae.D. The pelvis and shoulder-blade.62. Which of the following shows the right order according to the timeline?（C）There was a time, not that long ago, when women were considered smart if they played dumb to get a man, and women who went to college were more interested in getting a“Mrs. Degree”than a bachelor’s. Even today, it’s not unusual for a woman to get whispered and unrequested counsel from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market."There were so many misperceptions out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts," said economist Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen, Stevenson calculated national marriage data from 1950 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared."In other words, the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small," said Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts had the highest marriage rates in the 1950s, today college-educated women are more likely tomarry than those who don’t finish high school.Of course, expectations have changed dramatically in the last half century. "In the 1950s, a lot of women thought they needed to marry right away," Coontz said. "Real wages were rising so quickly that men in their 20s could afford to marry early. But they didn’t want a woman who was their equal. Men needed and wanted someone who knew less." In fact, she said, research published in 1946 documented that 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates. "These days, few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements," Coontz said.The new research has more good news for college grads. Stevenson said the data indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely to be married before age 40, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to describe their marriages as "happy". The marriages of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser, Stevenson said.63. Not long ago, it was believed that women went to college in order to ___.A. find a husbandB. get smart in the marriage marketC. learn to be a good wifeD. marry someone with a bachelor’s degree64. According to the first paragraph, what grandmother whispers to her granddaughter is usually______.A. taken as a warningB. regarded as out-of-dateC. given voluntarilyD. accepted unwillingly65. What did Betsey Stevenson find about well-educated women in the past?A. Their marriage rate was higher than at present.B. Their marriage rate was lower than at present.C. Their divorce rate was higher than at present.D. Their divorce rate was lower than at present.66. The effect of education on marriage has been found to be _____.A. favorableB. insignificantC. long-lastingD. extensiveSection CDirections：Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. EachFigure skating as we know it got its start in the mid-19th century. At that time, an American named Jackson Haines combined dancing and skating for the first time. Americans did not accept Haines’ technique, so he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he was an immediate success. Some 50 years later, Haines’ style finally caught on in the United States.___67___ Events for pairs and singles first appeared at the London 1908 Summer Games. Ice dancing joined the Olympics in 1976, when the Games were held in Innsbruck, Austria.In single skating, each skater performs a short routine of required steps. ___68___ The pairs event follows the same format, but with one male and one female together.___69___ But unlike pairs skating, ice dance does not include overhead lifts and jumps. An ice dancecompetition is made up of three parts: one set to music that has a required rhythm and tempo, and two parts set to whatever music the ice dancers choose.A panel of nine judges scores the quality of each figure skating performance, but only seven out of nine scores are used. To determine which judges’ scores will be used, there is a random draw before each event. Skaters are given a grade for each step, jump, spin, or any other element that is part of their routine. They also receive an “overall”score for each performance. ___70___第Ⅱ 卷Ⅱ.

He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started ou t as an extra one-day-a-week benefit forWhy have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happ ier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code hel ps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount56.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________.57.

Dress-C. “Dress-D. Many workers want to w60. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentionedA. saving worker’s moneyC. improving worker’s feelingD. making workers happier（B）I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t underst and. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.61. The story took place exactly ____________ .A. in the teache r’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab62. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____________ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone63. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____________ .A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam64. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____________ .A. honestyB. sense of dutyC. seriousnessD. all of the above65. The boy knew everything ____________ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the room（C）The earth is our home. We must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean is our duty.To pollute is to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many forms. We see it, smell it and drink it. Pollution can ruin our health, and even our life.Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made his fire, washed his clothes in water and threw his dirty things on the ground. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people and so many factories. All the waste things would soon be covered up. There was lots of clean air, land and water. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, man moved to another place. But now this is no longer true. Pollution caused by waste gas, waste water and other waste things has always been a headache for us. Man was and is now polluting the whole world.Talking about pollution, we once only meant air pollution. It is true that air pollution is still the most serious problem, but it is only one kind of pollution.By using pesticides, we have polluted the land and killed many kinds of animals. By putting dirty water into rivers and lakes, we have polluted our drinking water and killed fishes. The growth in the number of people is part of the problem. More people, more waste things.Is there any hope that we can reduce pollution? We are glad to say that the public has been warned of the danger of pollution.66. It is our duty to keep the land, air and water clean.67. If the place is polluted today, we can move to another place.68. Air pollution is the only form of pollution.69. The more people there are, the more waste things they make.70. The government is taking a lot of actions to deal with pollution.（D）The first step to stop drug abuse (滥用) is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are different. But there is one reason that seems to be common: people seem to take drugs to change their feeling. They want to feel better or happy, or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about the roseleaf when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just put them off. After a while, people may feel worse about themselves, and then may use more drugs.If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drug abuse. After all, what is a friend for?71. Why do some people abuse drugs?____________________________________________________72. What can drugs do with the abuser's problems?___________________________________________________73. How do the abusers feel when the effect of drugs disappears?__________________________________________________74. According to the passage, who do the abusers need most while in trouble?____________________________________________________75. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?___________________________________________________五：句子改错：每小题有一个错误（多词、缺词或错词），多余的词用斜线（\）划掉，在右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉；缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），在右边横线上写出该加的词；在错的词下划一横线，在右边横线上写出改正后的词。

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________. A．he feels very nervous B．he is trying to calm down C．he wants to draw attention to himself D．he wants to rel ease heat7．Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A website B．A magazine. C．A newspaper D ．A letter.CMany pet owners see their pets as family members. However ，when they have to go away on business or for some other rea sons, they feel guilty about it and wish they could do somethin g for their deeply loved pets.

2019-2020学年上海市上南中学高三英语月考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AGetting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.2. What is the text mainly about?A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?3. Who is the text intended for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BYou don't generally expect to put yourself in the public eye whenyou go on vacation. However when a British couple, Jessica and Edward, flew to Crete, they found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large sum of money in the street.At first, their Crete vacation hadn't been anything outside of the norm. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The couple were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.Without hesitation, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it-a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other choice, so the couple handed over the money to the local police.The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and informed the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman was so overcome with emotion that she wouldn't stop hugging and blessing them, although they insisted they were just doing the right thing.News of what the couple had done quickly made its way around the island. The locals wanted to show them their gratitude. This included receiving free taxi rides and even an offer to have their hotel room upgraded. The couple appreciated the kindness, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.They are probably hoping that they fly a little more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that these two lovebirds can handle.4. What is the first reaction of the couple after finding the money?A. They decided to do all with that money.B. They bought something in souvenir shops.C. They turned it over to the local police station.D. They tried to look for the owner by themselves.5. Which o£ the following can best describe the locals in Crete?A. Polite and hard-working.B. Kind and grateful.C. Sociable and honest.D. Rich and determined.6. Why do the couple hope to “fly a little more under the radar" in the last paragraph?A. They want to take fewer flights.B. They can't handle more radars.C. They hope to gain less attention.D. They don't have more money.7. What can we learn from the text?A. Good things come to kind people.B. The early bird catchesthe worm.C. Behind bad luck conies good luck.D. Money is too much for strangers.CYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China inBeijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency inBeijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned toChengduto open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with adash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C. Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job inBeijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family inChengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D.

Roger Noakes, who captained（担任队长）the boat, said this was the first time he’d taken out an all-female crew.The girls asked for an all-girls trip in August this year. The crew set sail along with three adults, Noakes and two Sea Cadet representatives. The original plan was for the girls to sail 24 hours a day in rotating shifts（轮流换班）along the coast and then return. Things turned out differently, however. “The first night was difficult because the wind was really hard. The waves were going up and down,” said Abby Fairchild,16. “Everybody got seasick.” Noakes gave the girls the choice of just sailing in the bay and not going into open water. “But they decided they were going.”The teenagers then sailed a long way overnight and slept in shifts. “We’ve learned everything from controlling the boat to putting up the sails while we have rough seas,” said 15-year-old Olivia Wilcox.The teenagers stopped on land in Massachusetts. They didn’t make it to their original destination（目的地）in Maine, where they were supposed to have a celebratory dinner, due to the weather and winds. They said they weren’t disappointed, however, as they’d learned a lot. “They learned about boating, and above all, they built confidence and character,” said Noakes.12. What was special about the Sea Cadet trip this year?A. It was the longest sailing trip ever.B. It was the first all-female-crew sailing trip.C. It was the most dangerous sailing trip ever.D. It was the first sailing trip for teenagers.13. What happened on the crew’s first day of the trip?A. They all felt sick on the boat.B. Some of them were hurt.C. Their boat was out of control.D. They went into open water by mistake.14. Which of the following best describes these young sailors?A. Strong-minded and having a strong sense of teamwork.B. Hard-working and having great leadership skills.C. Understanding and creative.D. Adventurous and skillful.15. According to Noakes, what was the sailors’ greatest benefit from the trip?A. They knew the sea better.B. They made many friends.C. They got excellent sailing skills.D. They developed good personalities.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。

I remember my struggles in class."I don't know the answer,"I would say,"I can’t do it!"“Perhaps you don't know the answer,”he wou ld say quietly."Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?"Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried,that was enough."Don't be so hard on yourself,"he'd say."Stop blaming yourself.Did you try your best?Well,then you're not a failure,"he often told me these words.Mr.Myrus died in 1978.I had never thought about his death.He was too young.I felt sorry.But when I think about him now,I don't feel so sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We can't all be “the best”,but we can,each of us,be our best,and I know that's true because Mr.Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr.Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn't particular about what be wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “dema ndi ng” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B.Serious.C.Critical.D.Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr.Myrus trad been his teacher for

math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr.Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket,a customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.There's no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those people are using “smart mac hi nes” which iden tify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”say s Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can also identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept conf idential by the machine itself.”Some people don't like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,andfeel like they are being accused of something.In addition,they don't work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesn't really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint（限制）we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person's iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What's the author's intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don't people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don't want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people's privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author's attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B.Bitter.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines.B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines' value in economy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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）A group of college students is hoping to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbitaround the moon.The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge. It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the Cislunar Explorers. The word Cislunar means "between the earth and the moon"．Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the Cislunar Explorer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell University. He once worked as NASA’s chief technologist. He has always wanted to use something other than rockets to push spacecraft beyond earth.“A lot of the mass we send into orbit these days is in the form of rockets—the only way we get anything into space.”he said, in a Cornell press release.“But what if we could use what’s already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft while they’re already in space…”The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark（火花），an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.The Cislunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to copy how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satelite is equipped with cameras. The cameras will take pictures of the sun, the earth and the moon and compare their positions and their sizes. Based on where the sun, moon and earth are at any given time, the Cislunar Explorers will do the mathernatics to find their position.The competition is being held in four parts. The Cornell team has been among the top three competitors during parts one and two. The winners of the third stage will be announced in about a month. The final three winners will be announced in early 2017. They will get to ride on NASA’s space launch system in early 2018.61. The essential part of the competition“the Cube Quest Challenge”is ____.A. to launch a satellite to take a watery flight to the moonB. to design, build and deliver a small and flight-qualified satelliteC. to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit around the moonD. to make the satellite perform advanced operations near and beyond the moon62. What does Mason Peck want to do at Cornell University according to the passage?A. To stop using rockets for the sake of safety.B. To use something already in space as power.C. To try using water in space to push spacecraft.D. To design a water-powered vehicle to push spacecraft.63. It can be inferred from the passage that ___.A. there is a lot of rubbish of rockets and satellites in the orbit these daysB. a water-powered satellite will soon be sent into the orbit around the moonC. the explosion of the combination of hydrogen and oxygen provides powerD. the team member of the Cislunar Explorers are the students of Mason Peck.64. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A Spacecraft Powered by Water.B. A Water-Powered Flight to the MoonC. A Competition for Water-Powered SatelliteD. A Design of Water-Powered Space Journey（B）You awake with a pounding heart and sweaty hands. Relax, you think to yourself—it was just a bad dream. But are nightmares truly benign? Psychologists aren’t so sure. Although some continue to believe nightmares reduce psychological tensions by letting the brain act out its fears, recent research suggests that nocturnal（夜间的）ordeals（折磨）are more likely to increase anxiety in waking life.In one study Australian researchers asked 624 high school students about their lives and nightmares during the past year and assessed their stress levels. It is well known that stressful experiences cause nightmares, but if nightmares serve to case that tension, troubled sleepers should have an easier time coping with emotional ordeals. The study, published in the journal Dreaming, did not bear out that hypothesis（假设）: not only did nightmares not stave off anxiety, but people who reported being distressed about their dreams were even more likely to suffer from generalanxiety than those who experienced an upsetting event such as the divorce of their parents.It is possible, however, that something is going wrong in the brains of individuals who experience a lot of anxiety, so that normal emotional processing during dreaming fails, says Tore Nielsen, director of the Dream and Nightmare Laboratory at Sacred Heart Hospital in Montreal.But Nielsen’s most recent results, published in the Journal of Sleep Research last June, actually confirm the Australian findings. To find out how REM sleep—during which most dreaming takes place—affects our emotions, the Canadian researchers showed horrible images（such as death scenes）to a group of healthy volunteers just before they went to bed. When the subjects viewed the same pictures in the morning, those who had been deprived of REM sleep were less emotionally affected than those deprived of other sleep phases. The same was true for those who experienced fewer negative emotions in their dreams. In other words, having nightmares did not make dreamers more relieved in waking life—just the opposite.What is not clear from these studies is whether nightmares play a causal role in anxiety. Most researchers agree that if the dreams give rise to constant anxiety and concern, it may be a good idea to talk to a mental health professional about it.65. What is the attitude of psychologists towards the positive nature of nightmares?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. SuspiciousD. Uninterested66. Who do we learn about the study of Australian researchers?A. The study indicates that those who suffered from the divorce of their parents are inclined tohave more nightmares.B. The study finds that troubled sleepers have an easier time coping with emotional sufferings.C. The study proves that stressful experiences lead to nightmares.D. The study discovers that nightmares may fuel anxiety rather than serving as an emotional release.67. What conclusion can be drawn from Nielsen’s most recent research?A. People who didn’t have REM sleep tend to be less emotionally affected when shown disturbingimages.B. Those who experienced fewer negative emotions in their dreams are likely to be affected whenshown disturbing image.C. Having nightmares makes dreamers reduce their tensions in waking life.D. Something is undoubtedly going wrong in the brains of people who experience a lot of anxiety.68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Ordeals of nightmare will definitely result in increasing anxiety in waking life.B. The studies confirm that nightmares inevitably give rise to anxiety.C. When a man is severely affected by nightmare, he’d better seek professional help.D. Australian and Canadian researchers have drawn totally different conclusions.（C）Nothing succeeds in business books like the study of success. The current business-book boom was launched in1982 by Tom Peters and Robert Waterman with In Search of Excellence. The trend has continued with a successionof experts and would-be experts who promise to distil the essence of excellence into three（or five or seven）simplerules.The Three Rules is a self=conscious contribution to this type of writing; it even includes a bibliography（文献目录）of“success studies”. Michael Raynor and Mumtaz Ahmed work for a consultancy, Deloitte, that is determinedto turn itself into more of a thought-leader and less a corporate repairman. They employ all the tricks of the successbooks. They insist that their conclusions are“measurable and actionable”—guides to behaviour rather than analysisfor its own sake. Success authors usually serve up vivid stories about how exceptional businesspeople stamped theirpersonalities on a company or rescued it from a life-threatening crisis. Messrs Raynor and Ahmed are happierchewing the numbers: they provide detailed appendices（附录）on“calculating the elements of advantage”and“detailed analysis”.The authors spent five years studying the behaviour of their 344“exceptional companies”，only to come up atfirst with nothing. Every hunch（直觉）led to a blind alley and every hypothesis to a dead end. It was only whenthey shifted their attention from how companies behave to how they think that they began to make sense of theirvoluminous（冗长的）material.Management is all about making difficult trade-offs in conditions that are always uncertain and often fast-changing. But exceptional companies approach these trade-offs with two simple rules in mind, sometimesconsciously, sometimes unconsciously. First: better before cheaper. Companies are more likely to succeed in thelong run if they compete on quality or performance than on price. Second: revenue before cost.Companies havemore to gain in the long run from driving up revenue（for example by charging higher prices or appealing to morecustomers）than by driving down costs.Most success studies suffer from faults. There is“the halo effect”，whereby good performance leadscommentators to attribute all manner of virtues to anything and everything the company does. These virtues thensuddenly become vices when the company fails. Messrs Raynor and Ahmed work hard to avoid these mistakes bystudying large bodies of data over several decades. But they end up embracing a different error: stating the obvious.Most businesspeople will not be surprised to learn that it is better to find a profitable niche（缝隙市场）and focuson boosting your revenues than to compete on price and cut your way to success. The difficult question is how tofind that profitable niche and protect it. There, The Three Rules is less useful.69. What does the author imply about books on success so far?A. They help businessmen one way or another.B. They are written by well-recognized experts.C. They more or less fall into the same stereotype.D. They are based on analyses of corporate leaders.70. How does the Three Rules differ from other success books according to the passage?A. It focuses on the behavior of exceptional businessmen.B. It bases its details analysis on large amounts of data.C. It offers practicable advice to businessmen.D. It draws conclusions from vivid examples.71. What does the passage say contributes to the success of exceptional companies?A. Focus on quality and revenue.B. Management and sales promotion.C. Lower production costs and competitive prices.D. Emphasis on after-sales service and maintenance.72. What is the author’s comment on The Three Rule s?A. It can help to locate profitable niches.B. It has little to offer to businesspeople.C. It is noted for its detailed data analysis.D. It fails to identify the keys to success.TranslationDirections：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.73. 她在信中阐述了她反对这项计划的原因。
