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.(A)We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and the Alexand er Graham Bells-but what about the__26__________( famous) inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper ? Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter _27_________ she's devel oped a course on the topic. In addition to l earning "who"invented "what", however, McLean also likes her stud ents to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, When stud ents learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give _28______________ a try.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the id ea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was col d and stormy, but And erson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see _29___________ the snow covering the windshield, she found herself _30__________ why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the wind ow. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicl e that would control 31__________ arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a worl d without Katherine J. Bl odgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. _32_____________ you picture life without clear wind ows and eyeglasses?(B)There are a few things in life more irritating: you are mid conversation with a friend, and sudd enly she bursts out laughing,33_________(make) you think you’ve mad e a brilliant joke. But then she says, “Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you. I just saw something real ly fun on a micro blog.” Now the whol e worl d is beginning to lose patience with this phenomenon known as phubbing: snubbing others in a social setting __34___________checking your phone.In fact, phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing depend ence on mobile phones and the Internet which is replacing normal social interaction. According to a recent poll carried out by a Sunday newspaper in Britain, a third of Britons__35_______(survey) admitted to being phubbers and more than a quarter said they would answer their phones in the middle of a face to face conversation.36_____________pointing or picking your nose, phubbing is also widely considered rud e behavior in public places. Lately , a Stop Phubbing campaign group has started in Australia and at least five __37___________have sprung up in its wake __38___________anger and discontent at the lack of manners grow.The campaign’s creator , Alex Haigh,23, from Melbourne, said :“A group of friends and I __39__________(chat) the other day when someone raised ho annoying being ignored by peopl e on mobil es was.” He has created a website __40_________companies can d ownload posters to discourage phubbing and even placards for weddings.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.Recently the Department of Planning of New York _41________ a report which laid bare a full scal e of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the city's population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had 42______ to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born offspring of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form. a (n)_43_____ of the city's population.Who are these New Yorkers? Why d o they come here? Where are they from? OK, time to drop the "they". I'm one of the them. The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 44________ nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four' in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants got here we 45_______up our sleeves. “If you are not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine , “you’d better hit the road.”The mayor of New York once said, "Immigration has__46_________ the unique characterand drive the economic engine of New York City." He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes Now York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of "_47________" that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century' since 1970, the United States__48_______ about 12.5 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations. Since these immigrants are__49___________l and hard-working, they will help America to make a(n) _50_______ start in the next century.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the foll owing 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.Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, __51__, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often __52__ the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business -- __53__ that the customer remains a customer.__54__ to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every year. In constantly changing __55__, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the __56__ implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big __57__ in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to __58__ increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, D omino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and __59__ never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in __60__ profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer __61__ is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little a ttention paid to __62__ them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.__63__ customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price __64__, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it __65__ for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.51..A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all52. A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe53. A. Denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving54. A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing55..A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses56.

A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. Attracting63. A. Assumed B. Respected C. Established D. Unexpected64. A. agreeable B. flexible C. friendly D. sensitive65. A. unfair B. difficult C. essential D. convenientSection 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,D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke, but perhaps more importantly, men d on't go to the doctor."Men aren't seeing d octors as often as they should," says Dr. Gullotta, "This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike."Gullotta says a healthy man shoul d visit the d octor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed d oing anything abouthis smoker’s cough for a year.When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from ling cancer,”he says , “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it woul d have prolonged his life.”According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group."A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)" Gullotta says "They only come in when a friend drops d ead on the golf course and they think 'Geez, if it coul d happen to him, …'"Then there is the ostrich (鸵鸟) approach, "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill."Most men get their cars serviced more often than they service their bodies," Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men coul d be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men woul d inevitably (不可避免地) place stress on the public purse. Cartmill says. "But prevention is cheaper in the l ong run than having to treat the diseases. Besid es, the ultimate cost is far greater. It’s called premature d eath"66.Why d oes the author congratulate his mal e readers at the beginning of the passage?A. They are more likely to suffer diseases today.B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.C. They have lived long enough to red this article.D. They are sure to enjoy a l onger and happier life.67.Which of the foll owing best completes the sentence "Geez, if it could happen to him,…" in paragraph8?A. it coul d happen to me, too.B. I shoul d avoid playing golfC. I should consider myself lucky.D. it would be a big misfortune.68What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by "the ostrich approach" in paragraph 9?A .casual attitude towards one's health conditions.B. A new treatment for certain psychol ogical probl ems.C. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.D. Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear.69.What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expenses.B. They will save money in the long run.C. They may cause psychol ogical stress on men.D. They will enable men to live as long as women.(B)Doctors have been advising us for years to "use it or lose it": that is, to stay as intellectually active as possibl e into our waning years in order to avoid dementia. But the latest research shows that brain training comes at a price.In a study of 1,157 men and women age 65 or ol der, researchers led by Dr. Robert Wilson at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that people who remained intellectually stimulated —by playing cards or other games, reading or visiting museums —were diagnosed with dementia later than those who were not as cognitively active. But once dementia set in, the group who participated in mentally stimulating activities experienced a much more rapid cognitive decline. Over the 12-year study, for each additional point they gained on a measure of cognitive activity, the intellectually stimulated group experienced a 52% greater decline in cognitive impairment, after being diagnosed with dementia.“Brain activity is not stopping the und erlying neurobiol ogy of d ementia, but for a while, it seems to be effective in delaying the ad ditional appearance of symptoms," says Wilson. "But the benefit of delaying the initial symptoms comes at the cost of more rapid progression of dementia once it makes its appearance."While brain exercises can help the brain continue to function d espite the accumulating biological changes und erlying dementia and Alzheimer's, at some point, says Wilson, the scales tip — that activity can no longer compensate for the growing volume of deteriorating alterations in the brain. "At that point, the patient is pretty much at the mercy of the pathol ogy," he says. And that's why, once the symptoms of dementia become obvious, those who were able to push off their diagnosis are likely to be at a more advanced stage of disease.The findings, published Wednesday in Neurol ogy, should not discourage people from remaining cognitively active, says Dr. William Thies, chief medical officer of the Alzheimer's Association, and in fact raises interesting questions about how we as a society shoul d approach age-related brain changes. Surveys consistently show that most of us woul d prefer to remain as functionally intact as possibl e and experience a short period of physical or mental disability before d eath. Gradual cognitive decline, which is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, is challenging for patients, their caregivers and society, as the health costs of chronic care continue to climb. But the current study suggests that more people may be able to telescope their mental d ecline into a shorter and more concentrated time period. "I think the results suggested by this paper are something that peopl e would regard as positive," he says. "And this is the sort of study we really need if we are ever going to understand how to manage all aspects of d ementia as a society."70. The word “dementia” can be best replaced by _______________________________.A. mental diseaseB. brain damageC. cognitive declineD. Biological changes71. The sentence underlined suggests that when the brain exercises can no longer compensate for the worsening alterations in the brain, __________.A. the volume of the worsening alterations in brain determines the seriousness of the diseaseB. the patient no l onger needs to d o brain exercises and has to be taken care of by the d octorsC. the d octors can only treat the patient based on his pathol ogical conditionsD. the accumulating biol ogical changes underlying dementia can’t be ignored by the patient72. According to Dr. William Thies, the findings shoul d be viewed as__________.A. discouragingB. interestingC. challengingD. positive73. What can we infer from the passage?A. Brain training is very expensive for those who want to stay cognitively active.B. The costs of taking care of an Alzheimer’s patient continue to go up.C. Those who d o brain exercises will definitely suffer from d ementia at last.D. We need more studies to understand how to manage dementia as a society.(C)The modern Olympic Games, founded in 1896,began as contests between individuals, rather than among nations , with the hope of promoting world peace through sportsmanship . In the beginning ,the games were open only to amateurs. An amateur is a person whose involvement in an activity--from sports to science or the arts--is purely for pleasure . Amateurs , whatever their contributions to a field, expect to receive no form of compensation; professional ,in contrast ,perform their work in ord er to earn a living.From the perspective of many athletes, however , the Olympic playing filed has been far from level. Restricting the Olympic to amateurs has preclud ed (排除）the participation of many who could not afford to be unpaid. Countries have always d esired to send their best athletes , not their wealthiest ones, to the Olympic Games.A sl ender and imprecise line separates what we call “financial support” from “earning money.” Do athletes “earn money” if they are reimbursed（补偿）for travel expenses? What if they are paid for time l ost at work or if they accept free clothing from a manufacturer or if they teach sports for a living? The runner Eric Lid dell was the son of poor missionaries; in 1924 the British Olympic Committee financed his trip to the Olympics, where he won a gol d and a bronze medal. Coll ege scholarships and support from the United States Olympic Committee mad e it possibl e for American track stars Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and speed skater Dan Jansen to train and compete. When the Soviet Union and its allies joined the games in 1952, the definition of amateur became still muddier. Their athletes did not have tobalance jobs and training because as citizens in communist regimes, their government financial support was not considered payment for jobs.In 1971 the International Olympic Committee(IOC) removed the word amateur from the rules, making it easier for athletes to find the support necessary to train and compete. In 1986 the IOC allowed professional athletes into the games.There are those who regret the disappearance of amateurism from the Olympic Games. For them the games l ost something special when they became just another way for athletes to earn money. Others say that the designation of amateurism was always questionable; they argue that all competitors receive so much financial support as to make them paid professionals. Most agree, however, that the debate over what constitutes an“amateur”will continue for a l ong time.74. One might infer that _______________________.A. devel oping Olympic-level skills in athletes is costlyB. professional athletes are mostly interested in financial rewardsC. amateurs does not expect to earn money at the sport that is playedD. amateurs athletes have a better attitud e than professionals d o75. The statement“the playing field has been far from level”means that__________.A. the ground the athletes played on was in bad conditionB. the poorer players were given some advantagesC. the rules did not work the same way for everyoneD. amateurs were inferior to the professionals in many ways76. The financial support given to athletes by the Soviet government can best be compared to ________________.A. a gift received on a special occasion, such as a birthdayB. money received from a winning lottery ticketC. an all owance paid to a childD. Money from charity organization77. One can conclude that the Olympic Organizing Committee _________________.A. has hel d firm to its original vision of the Olympic gamesB. has struggled with the definition of amateur over the yearsC. regards itself as an organization for professional athl etes onlyD. did nothing but stop all owing communists to participateSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words."Severe fatigue(疲乏), very weak. I could hardly walk d own the bl ock," says Wendy Moro. Why, she wondered, then, Wendy and her d octor begin to suspect her plate. "A few times a week I was having fish, whether it was once or four times," says Wendy. "What kind of fish?Swordfish, tuna and sea bass, the highest mercury- content fish sold in the commercial market," says Dr. Jane Hightower.Mercury(汞) enters the ocean with commercial pollution. It works its way up the food chain, and apparently into some of the most popular fish on the market. Wendy's doctor, Dr. Jane Hightower, was so suspicious that she began testing her Bay Area patients. All consumed large amounts offish, and an overwhelming majority tested high for mercury in their systems."I was seeing hair loss, fatigue, muscle ache, headache, feeling just an ill feeling." Hightower said.The symptoms began to clear up when Hightower cut the amount of fish in their diets. "It was so obvious, but the problem was still unknown to the public," she said. "I even wanted to rent a tent and a tambourine."(A tambourine is a small one-sided drum with metal disks around its rim.) Her published findings drew national attention. But despite her study, there is still fierce debate over how much fish is safe to eat, and how much mercury consumers are actually eating. So we decid ed to do our own test.According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the safe l evel of mercury intake for a 120-pound woman like Wendy is a little over 38 micrograms per week. On average, a single serving of tuna purchased here in the Bay Area contained more mercury than the EPA recommends a woman of Wendy's size eat for an entire week. Sea bass had nearly twice that level, and swordfish nearly six times the EPA's safe mercury intake for a week, in a single serving.Whil e there is little scientific data on how the body reacts to high levels of mercury, it has been linked to symptoms ranging from muscle pain to hair loss, birth defects, and muscle fatigue And, as in our testing, the evidence is mounting that the larger the fish, the more the exposure.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The popular fish on the market obtain mercury through and .82. When Dr. Hightower "wanted to rent a tent and a tambourine", she meant to .83.

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)5 / 14April Fool’s Day and Easter Sunday rarely coincide. Since 1900, Easter has fallen on April Fools’ Day for only five times--1923,1934, 1945, 1956 and 2018. Obviously, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play Easter-themed pranks on your children. Here are some suggestions.A treasure hunt with a twistA fantastic Easter Sunday tradition is to do a treasure hunt where the Easter Bunny has left eggs around your house. Each egg has a small written clue or riddle (谜语)directing the children to where they can find the next one. But when April Fools' Day and Easter Sunday coincide, why not leave some carrots in their place, instead of hiding chocolate eggs ?On the third or fourth clue, you can make it appear as if the Faster Bunny has left a note apologizing for eating all the chocolate but saying they hope you enjoy this left-behind lunch.An Easter basket with a differencePrepare an Easter basket for the children, and either wrap it up or cover it up so that the contents can’t be seen. Have a card from the Easter Bunny next to it which they can open first, with a message that the Easter Bunny wants them to have an extra special Easter and so has prepared a special gift for them. But rather than chocolate or sweets, what you've put in the basket is incredibly dull stuff that kids will be completely unimpressed by---new toothpaste, some socks or a packet of batteries.A sticky situation“You' ll need to prepare this in advance. Buy some of the plastic eggs that contain toys. Unwrap them, open them and then carefully glue them shut and re-wrap them. You don't have to be too tidy---your children are going to be thinking about getting to the toy and are not going to be suspicious. Sit back and enjoy them trying and failing to open the eggs.The invisible Easter egg huntThis is an excellent plan if you have a garden. Tell the children there is an Faster egg hunt in the garden and lead them there.Close the back door. Let your children spend ages searching fruitlessly for Easter eggs that you haven't actually hidden. After you have enjoyed a rare ten minutes of peace and quiet indoors, while they get increasingly confused and frustrated, go into the garden claiming to have found a note from the Easter Bunny. The note reads "April Fool."76. The target readers of this passage are ________A. SchoolchildrenB. head teachers in schoolsC. children who have younger siblingsD. parents of young children77. Which of the pranks is most likely to require a large outdoor space?6 / 14A. A treasure hunt with a twistB. An Easter basket with a differenceC. A sticky situationD. The invisible Easter egg hunt78. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. A treasure hunt for carrots is an Easter traditionB. April Fools Day and Easter Sunday coincide every 11 yearsC. Children are usually disappointed at gifts like socks and batteriesD. All of the four recommended pranks require extensive preparations(B)Even now she calls my attention every day to mispronounced words. All teachers of the deaf know what this means, and only they can at all appreciate the peculiar difficulties with which I had to contend.I had to use the sense of touch in catching the vibrations (振动)of the throat, the movements of the mouth and the expression of the face; and often this sense was at fault. In such cases I was forced to repeat the words or sentences, sometimes for hours, until I felt the proper "ring" in my own voice. My work was practice, practice, practice. Discouragement and weariness cast me down frequently. But the next moment the thought that I should soon be at home and show my loved ones what I had accomplished renewed my courage and spurred(激励)me on, and I eagerly looked forward to their pleasure in my achievement.“ My little sister will understand me now, " was a thought stronger than all obstacles. I was filled with joy while I anticipated the delight of talking to my dear mother and reading her responses from her lips. It astonished me to find how much easier it is to talk than to spell with the fingers, and I discarded the manual alphabet as a medium of communication on my part. But my teacher and a few friends still use it in speaking to me, for it is more convenient than lip reading.Perhaps I had better explain our use of the manual alphabet, which seems to puzzle people who do not know us. One who reads or talks to me spells with his hand, using the single-hand manual alphabet usually employed by the deaf. The position of the hand is as easy to feel as it is to see. I do not feel each letter any more than you see each letter separately when you read. Constant practice makes the fingers very flexible, and some of my friends spell rapidly --about as fast as an expert writes on a typewriter. The mere spelling is, of course, no more a conscious act than it is in writing.When I had made speech my own, I could not wait to go home. At last, the happiest of happy moments arrived.79. According to the article, what kind of communication method did the author prefer?7 / 14A. TypingB. Lip readingC. Finger spellD. Talk80. To pronounce words correctly, the author had to do the following EXCEPT ________A. Overcome a sense of failure and tiredness for hoursB . repeatedly practice words with patienceC. draw the attention of her highly demanding teacherD. use the sense of touch in catching people's expression81. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Finger spelling is actually an unconscious actB. The blind feel each letter separately when readingC. It is easy for the deaf to use the manual alphabetD. It is dull to repeat the same words for hours82.

Books bought back are processed by the staff and sold to students.(D)Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits.Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道).Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for people with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk.10 / 14“Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said.The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP.87. Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day?A. They want to lower their risk of having a heart attackB. They hope to protect themselves against some cancersC. They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomachD. They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke88. What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis?A. That aspirin does more harm than good to the human bodyB. That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the bloodC. That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable.D. That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes.89. What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article?A. To have a thorough physical examinationB. To ask for others' opinions on the internet.C. To read the findings of new studies on aspirinD. To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition90. The article was probably written by ________A. the director of a hospitalB. a public health journalistC. the CEO of a medical companyD. a representative for an insurance company11 / 14Section 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.A. That turning point might be Bezos' greatest accomplishmentB. Amazon executives would tell you: the empty chair, the internal nickname of the figure that ruletheir lives.C. Bezos could have done it earlier but he took over twenty years to compete that targetD. Even the tiniest delay in loading a web-page isn’t insignificantE. Customers do enjoy quick delivery, quality products and great after-sales service.F. He set that target without getting pinned down by technical issues.Jeff Bezos Reveals His No. 1 Leadership SecretAmazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called "an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products in stock and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.____91____ The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore that sells other stuff to a retailer---and business services provider---that once sold mostly books. Amazon's stock is up 397 percent in the last five years.So, what's behind the success of the world’s largest online retailer? ____92____ Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer---the most important person in the room.Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about that customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. ____93____ Amazon data show that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.But great customer service doesn’t fully explain Amazon's extraordinary success. For Bezos,adata driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazon's kindle, for example, came into being because Bezos believed millions would want an e-book reader that could download any book within 60 seconds. ____94____ Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.12 / 14Efficiency ---- cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics---is also an important part of the Amazon culture. In fact, Bezos liks the two. In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.V.

They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social,4 / 10preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards shouldbe offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency（效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status（地位）is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows（肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality（守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners.they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59. The passage is mainly about _______.5 / 10A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards60. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meeting as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.61. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentationD. When dining with business partners.62. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)HAPPY to help or too selfish to share - some scientists wonder whether generosity（慷慨大方）lies in our upbringing or in our genes（基因）.In a social science experiment carried out in an Israelichildren’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,” Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown6 / 10child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfish-less and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,” said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality （道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of somethi ng, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one ticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment_______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends7 / 1064. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.65. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an AVPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.(D)Directions: Read the following passages. Filling each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note there are two more sentences than you need.A. But there’s no need for embarrassment（尴尬）B. If you want proof（证据）, turn on the sports channel.8 / 10C. However, when we grow older, we keep this system inside.D. This behavior can improve our performance on some certain tasks.E. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.F. Psychologists call this kind of behavior as private speech -- language that is spoken out loud but directed at the speaker himselfTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness（疯）.____67____ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness and madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, control our emotions and even create a narrative（叙事）of our experience.For example, take a trip to any kindergarten and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to her here talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her failure. __68__ We do a lot of it when we are young as a matter of fact.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others, ____69____Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children -- but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. __70__ You’re sure to see an athlete or two shouting or scolding themselves after poor performance.9 / 10Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.答案：I. Grammar21. from 22. that 23. has completed 24. cleaner 25. that/ which26. can 27. when 28. have removed 29.

Howe ver, I found that they were ____28____ too complicated or too time-consuming to help me learn a language before an international trip. Perhaps my experience of acquiring a language early in life and then trying to acquire ____29____ in a classroom(three years of French, which didn’t really stick)also contributed to my skepticism (怀疑).The language experts I spoke with say you shouldn’t allow the promises of a course or an app ____30____ (convince)you that learning a language is easy. Experts agree that there is no substitute for "on-the-ground" experience practicing a new language with native speakers.(B)Increasingly, various phrases have been taking over a good old-fashioned "t hank you" or "you’re welcome" in daily conversations in the United States. While ____31____ (dine)at a restaurant, when a waiter comes by to ask Americans ____32____ .they would like more water or bread, do you notice that they often say " I'm good,” rather than "no, thank you?” When someone thanks them for holding the door open, "n o problem "is almost the same response as "you're welcome”.Are Americans becoming ruder, ____33____ (abandon) traditional polite phrases, or are the words they use now just updated versions of the same emotion?According to Lisa Gache, co-founder of Beverly Hills Manners, the decline of these magic words in our everyday conversation has to do with the preference ___34____ all things casual in our society today. Casual conversation, casual dress and casual behavior are present in all areas of life.And apparently Americans agree with her. A survey ____35___ (conduct)by Rasmussen Reports revealed that 76 percent of those surveyed thought that Americans were becoming "ruder and ____36____ (civil).”But is using phrases like "no problem"or “you bet"or " enjoy” really rude? Does more casualphrasing erase the original emotion of gratitude? Doesn’t "no, thank you" sometimes sound a little too formal, perhaps even a little too harsh(刺耳的), ____37____ it begins with a “no”?Emily Post Senning, ____38____ great-grandmother set the standard on manners with the book Etiquette,thought that while the principles of respect and consideration are "universal and timeless, " actual manners change over time and between cultures, ____39____ do the words used to express gratitude and appreciation.It's probably not a bad idea ____40____ (remember)to say "please" and "thank you,” but don’t beat yourself up thinking you're a horrible person if you say "have a good one" instead of "have a nice day.”Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. NoteI surveyed more than 30.000 people around the world. These people came from different cultures and were working in various industries. I asked them about how they relate to others: Do they prefer giving or taking?I found that many of them were somewhere in the middle. They fell into a third group, who do something called"matching".If you are a" matcher," you try to keep a balance between giving and taking: "quid pro quo"--I’ll do something for you if you do something for me. That seems like a safe way to live your life. However, is it the most ____41____ approach on a daily basis?____42____ the worst performers among those I surveyed- -regardless of their ____43____ or nationalities ---were the givers. The engineers who were the least productive did more favors than they received in return. They were always so busy doing other people’s job that they ran out of time and energy to get their own work done. In medical schools, the lowest grades went to students who said they “loved helping others.” In other words, the doctors you ought to trust are those who did the training with no____44____ to help anybody However, it turns out that there is a____45____ here---thankfully. Although givers are often sacrificing themselves, they make contribution to their organization. There is a lot of evidence to support this. Research has looked at how often people give to their team or organization. The findings tells us that sharing knowledge and mentoring all boost he performance of the organization on every metric that can be ____46____:profits, customers____47____, employee retention(员工存留率) and so on. Even the operating expenses ____48____.Givers spend a lot of time trying to help other people and improve their teams, it ____49____seems they suffer along the way. Givens deserve more____ 50____. As to what it takes to build cultures where givers can get to succeed more often, it requires further research.when I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)____51____ in her department.

Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who ____57____ the job-search playing field.Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, ____58___ empathy(同感能力）Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---____59____ that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to____60____ pleasantries(寒暄）.Ill.

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)April Fool’s Day and Easter Sunday rarely coincide. Since 1900, Easter has fallen on April Fools’ Day for only five times--1923,1934, 1945, 1956 and 2018. Obviously, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play Easter-themed pranks on your children. Here are some suggestions.A treasure hunt with a twistA fantastic Easter Sunday tradition is to do a treasure hunt where the Easter Bunny has left eggs around your house. Each egg has a small written clue or riddle (谜语)directing the children to where they can find the next one. But when April Fools' Day and Easter Sunday coincide, why not leave some carrots in their place, instead of hiding chocolate eggs ?On the third or fourth clue, you can make it appear as if the Faster Bunny has left a note apologizing for eating all the chocolate but saying they hope you enjoy this left-behind lunch.An Easter basket with a differencePrepare an Easter basket for the children, and either wrap it up or cover it up so that the contents can’t be seen. Have a card from the Easter Bunny next to it which they can open first, with a message that the Easter Bunny wants them to have an extra special Easter and so has prepared a special gift for them. But rather than chocolate or sweets, what you've put in the basket is incredibly dull stuff that kids will be completely unimpressed by---new toothpaste, some socks or a packet of batteries.A sticky situation“You' ll need to prepare this in advance. Buy some of the plastic eggs that contain toys. Unwrap them, open them and then carefully glue them shut and re-wrap them. You don't have to be too tidy---your children are going to be thinking about getting to the toy and are not going to be suspicious. Sit back and enjoy them trying and failing to open the eggs.The invisible Easter egg huntThis is an excellent plan if you have a garden. Tell the children there is an Faster egg hunt in the garden and lead them there.Close the back door. Let your children spend ages searching fruitlessly for Easter eggs that you haven't actually hidden. After you have enjoyed a rare ten minutes of peace and quiet indoors, while they get increasingly confused and frustrated, go into the garden claiming to have found a note from the Easter Bunny. The note reads "April Fool."76. The target readers of this passage are ________A. SchoolchildrenB. head teachers in schoolsC. children who have younger siblingsD. parents of young children77. Which of the pranks is most likely to require a large outdoor space?A. A treasure hunt with a twistB. An Easter basket with a differenceC. A sticky situationD. The invisible Easter egg hunt78. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. A treasure hunt for carrots is an Easter traditionB. April Fools Day and Easter Sunday coincide every 11 yearsC. Children are usually disappointed at gifts like socks and batteriesD. All of the four recommended pranks require extensive preparations(B)Even now she calls my attention every day to mispronounced words. All teachers of the deaf know what this means, and only they can at all appreciate the peculiar difficulties with which I had to contend.I had to use the sense of touch in catching the vibrations (振动)of the throat, the movements of the mouth and the expression of the face; and often this sense was at fault. In such cases I was forced to repeat the words or sentences, sometimes for hours, until I felt the proper "ring" in my own voice. My work was practice, practice, practice. Discouragement and weariness cast me down frequently. But the next moment the thought that I should soon be at home and show my loved ones what I had accomplished renewed my courage and spurred(激励)me on, and I eagerly looked forward to their pleasure in my achievement.“ My little sister will understand me now, " was a thought stronger than all obstacles. I was filled with joy while I anticipated the delight of talking to my dear mother and reading her responses from her lips. It astonished me to find how much easier it is to talk than to spell with the fingers, and I discarded the manual alphabet as a medium of communication on my part. But my teacher and a few friends still use it in speaking to me, for it is more convenient than lip reading.Perhaps I had better explain our use of the manual alphabet, which seems to puzzle people who do not know us. One who reads or talks to me spells with his hand, using the single-hand manual alphabet usually employed by the deaf. The position of the hand is as easy to feel as it is to see. I do not feel each letter any more than you see each letter separately when you read. Constant practice makes the fingers very flexible, and some of my friends spell rapidly --about as fast as an expert writes on a typewriter. The mere spelling is, of course, no more a conscious act than it is in writing.When I had made speech my own, I could not wait to go home. At last, the happiest of happy moments arrived.79. According to the article, what kind of communication method did the author prefer?A. TypingB. Lip readingC. Finger spellD. Talk80. To pronounce words correctly, the author had to do the following EXCEPT ________A. Overcome a sense of failure and tiredness for hoursB . repeatedly practice words with patienceC. draw the attention of her highly demanding teacherD. use the sense of touch in catching people's expression81. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Finger spelling is actually an unconscious actB. The blind feel each letter separately when readingC. It is easy for the deaf to use the manual alphabetD. It is dull to repeat the same words for hours82. It can be inferred from the article that the author is ________A. conservativeB. negativeC. positiveD. humorous(C)Bookie’s, the campus bookstore, is located at the Campus Activity Center, main floor.Bookie’s is the only place in Kamloops to buy your course textbooks. There is a book-list in the bookstore listing the books required for each course. If you need help in finding your course textbooks, ask any of the staff in the bookstore.There are more than just textbooks at Bookie’s. They carry a wide variety of stationery, art supplies and gift items. You can also buy telephone cards, postage stamps and bus passes.

Cash refunds are not even for defective books returned outside the normal return dates.BUYBACKSWhat books do you buy back?We buy back all current edition textbooks. If we do not use them at UCC, we buy them back according to the value established in the North American marketplace2)How much do I get for my books?If Bookies is buying the book for use at UCC, you will receive 50% of the current new retail price.

Books bought in Bookie's can be returned within ten working daysD. Books bought back are processed by the staff and sold to students.(D)Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits.Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道).Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for pe ople with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk.“Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said.The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP.87. Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day?A. They want to lower their risk of having a heart attackB. They hope to protect themselves against some cancersC. They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomachD. They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke88. What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis?A. That aspirin does more harm than good to the human bodyB. That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the bloodC. That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable.D. That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes.89. What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article?A. To have a thorough physical examinationB. To ask for others' opinions on the internet.C. To read the findings of new studies on aspirinD. To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition90. The article was probably written by ________A. the director of a hospitalB. a public health journalistC. the CEO of a medical companyD. a representative for an insurance companySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentenceJeff Bezos Reveals His No. 1 Leadership SecretAmazon has reached what its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos called "an interesting milestone.” The retailing giant so highly associated with books and then music and video, now has tens of millions of products in stock and a majority are non-media goods, from drills to tennis balls to almost anything else that can be shipped.____91____ The 48-year-old has officially transformed Amazon, which he founded in 1994, from an online bookstore that sells other stuff to a retailer---and business services provider---that once sold mostly books. Amazon's stock is up 397 percent in the last five years.So, what's behind the success of the world’s largest online retailer? ____92____ Bezos regularly leaves one seat open at meetings and informs all attendees that they should consider that seat occupied by their customer---the most important person in the room.Always trying to find out what customers want, Bezos is even stricter about that customers don’t want. They hate delays, defects and out-of-stock products, so the company constantly looks to make them as rare as possible. ____93____ Amazon data show that a 0.1 second delay in page loading can translate into a one percent drop in customer activity.But great customer service doesn’t fully explain Amazon's extraordinary success. For Bezos,adata driven customer focus encourages him to take risks to innovate. Amazon's kindle, for example, came into being because Bezos believed millions would want an e-book reader that could download any book within 60 seconds. ____94____ Engineers were free to solve technical challenges as they saw fit, only needing to make it right for consumers.Efficiency ---- cheapness, in the eyes of Amazon’s critics---is also an important part of the Amazon culture. In fact, Bezos liks the two. In 2009, Bezos declared that Amazon had begun fighting against waste. The more he could get rid of needless costs, the easier it would be to deliver rock-bottom prices to customers.V.

2019-2020学年上海大学附属中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案

2019-2020学年上海大学附属中学高三英语第一次联考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AThe history ofpop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage（拼贴画）of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Campbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents.1. Why did people dislike abstract art?A. People found it hard to understand.B. Ordinary people couldn't afford it.C. People disliked enjoying it in galleries.D. It wasn't based on everyday life.2. What impression do pop art works leave on people?A. They are a rebellion against abstract art.B. They have many elements of abstract art.C. They are created so real.D. They are products of advertisers.3. The Independent Group was set up to ________.A. introduce a new art form to the worldB. develop modern advertising furtherC. create new comic book imagesD. make British culture better knownBThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.4. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.5. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.6. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.7. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.CI got my first bike when I was nine years old. Jimmy, the bike, was my first love. I rode it everywhere. The suburb, the back lanes, the fields and forests, the river paths and swampland were far more exciting than any adventure novel or television series.There’s nothing quite like the relationship between a child and his bicycle and the endless happiness two wheels and a pair of strong legs offer. No video or computer game can replace the liberation of being alone on a bicycle.As parents, to deny children the simple pleasure of riding a bike is a failure of our responsibilities to raise independent and stable young citizens. We should offer our children a healthy alternative to hours in front of an addictive screen. Studies have shown that cycling promotes not only muscle growth but brain growth. Guess which country has children with the best mental health outcomes and is regularly the top of listings of the happiest young people. No surprise it’s theNetherlands, the unquestioned leader among industrial countries in encouraging bicycle use.Our dependence on cars has degraded the public transport system, polluted our sky, led to the untimely death of thousands every year, and denied children safe access to their suburbs. A recent study found that 69% of children were accompanied to school. The same study found that a similar number of parents drove to work.In some regions ofJapan, when children start their first year of school, parents are expected to walk withthem for the first few weeks, introducing them to residents and shopkeepers along the chosen route, letting the community take care of these children. However, driving children to school isproscribed. Children can choose to ride a bike or walk to school after they are familiar with the community, and it’s the community’s role to keep them safe.Therefore, I strongly advise the government to provide better infrastructure (基础设施). Build separated cycle lanes, decrease speed limits, and design street scapes that favour people over cars. The results will be less pollution, quieter suburbs, a healthier population and, best of all, happy and independent children.8. What can we infer about the author from the text?A. He was addicted to computer games.B. He liked taking adventurous trips in nature.C. He had great fun exploring the outside by cycling.D.He got his first birthday present at the age of nine.9. Why does the author mention theNetherlandsin Paragraph 3?A. To introduce his good way of raising independent children.B. To illustrate the great influence riding has on mental health.C. To stress the importance of being physically and mentally healthy.D. To explain cycling does best in city development in theNetherlands.10.

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.Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report Ihad slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called mygrandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip (掷) a coin. Heads--the commander, and tails--the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass; I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on Gearge Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet. How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos, no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!46.What did the author's classmates think about his report?A. IncredibleB. FunnyC.BoringD. Puzzling47.Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a-coin.C. He forgot his teacher's instruction.D. He didn't know why the teacher gave such a task.48.The underlined word “burning” in Para. 3 probably means ________.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager49.In the end, the author turned things around ________.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterBMyth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.Truth: That's not true. “Your hair isn't like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends. This make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth:If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself but according to Carol Ann Rinzier, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism (新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.Myth: If you swallow gum, it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit--not several years, says Neitzeoberg. M D. editor of Kids Health organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--so you gum up the works on a regular basis. you might find yourself in a sticky situation.Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.Truth: Now that's bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won't stop the bleeding. you'll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two,” suggests Dr. Izenberg.50.The length of your hair is determined by ________.A. cutting oftenB. your geneC. the food you eatD. clearing up the dead split ends51.According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will ________.A. help you lose weight fast.B. help you lose weight slowlyC. cause you to become fatterD. make you burn food more quickly52.What does the phrase “best bet” mean?A. A large sum of moneyB. An impossible actionC. High expectationD. A wise solution53. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow it a few days later.D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.CThe Wind and the Leaves“Come, little leaves, "said the wind one day,“Come over the meadows with me and play.Put on your dress of red and gold;For summer is gone, and the days grow cold.”Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,Down they came fluttering, one and all,O’er the brown field then they danced and flewSinging the soft little songs they knew.Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went.Winter had called them, and they were content.Soon, fast asleep on their earthy beds,The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.--George Cooper54.What does the poet mean by “Signing the soft little songs they knew”?A. They echoed the call of the wind.B. They celebrated the arrival of fall.C. They were being blown about everywhere.D. They were making a rustling sound as they dropped from the trees in the wind.55.What kind of literary device (文学修辞) does the poet use?A. Metaphor 暗喻B. Alliteration 押头韵C. Personification 拟人D. Simile 明喻56.What’s the mood of the poem?A. JoyfulB. RealisticC. SorrowfulD. SadDGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.57.What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.58.The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples59.According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ________.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies60.What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest. 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.Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance, the purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family. ________61________ Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next allowance is to be given. ________62________ Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.Allowances give children a chance to experience three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. ________63________Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. ________64________ However, over time it adds up.Ⅲ.

Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.ADo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy4 / 13cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（自言自语）as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam（鼓起干劲）and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.56. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening57. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.5 / 13D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.58. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all dayBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches can also start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency（效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people react in meetings. For example,6 / 13people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status（地位）is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows（肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality（守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for other’s time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree.

They were told: “You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers.” Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfishness and genetics may play a role.8 / 13But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,” said Nancy Eisenberg, An Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one sticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than on e sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment________.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found the one third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends.64. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behaviorB. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.9 / 1365. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an AVPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. Those who receive college education.D. Those growing up in sharing environment.DA. So they just want Google to be giving more back to their revenue streams.B. YouTube is more than a website where videos are shared.C. News publishers could also stand to benefit.D. It’s a slightly different business model.E. However, music can be shared by subscribers by means of buying.F. But that could change at least in Europe.The music industry has long criticized YouTube and other video sites for failing to pay enough for the content it produces. __67__ Under a proposed EU directive（指令）, YouTube could be forced to pay more for musicians and record companies. We heard more from our business reporter Chris Johnston.10 / 13The directive is aimed at reforming copy right law quite broadly and YouTube obviously falls under that. The music industry is upset because they think that Google which owns YouTube is not paying its fare share for hosting music and not paying as much as the streaming platforms such as Spotify and YouTube. __68__ That will mean simply Google having to cough up more funding. How that’s actually going to work, we don’t know yet.And how far would what’s in this current directive go towards making the music industry and the musicians happy?They’ll be happy when YouTube starts paying them more basically. __69__ YouTube works by selling advertising and then they distribute that to all of their rights holders whereas the streaming platforms pay a small amount each time somebody plays one of their songs. Google’s argument is that they’ve expanded the industry by creating a revenue steam that didn’t exit before. They admit that things are not perfect buy they said they want to work with the industry.And it’s not just about music, is it? __70__ That’s right. Yes. So I mean Google also is implicated here because of aggregators such as Google News. What the European Commission is proposing is that platforms like Google News should have to pay for the rights to show news on platforms such as Google News or...How far away are we from that? Well, it could be months or even years because these have to be approved by the European parliament and then by each member state in the EU. So it could take months. It could take years.Ⅳ.

However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when hecontrolled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”8. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.10. What does Kim's research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.11. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.DScientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level ofanother group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.A cognitive (认知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratorysetting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.12. What is the passage mainly about?A. People's memory gradually fails as they age.B. People of different ages should play VR games.C. Virtual reality changes people's memory.D. Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.13. What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research?A. satisfied.B. enthusiastic.C. cautious.D. concerned.14. According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.A. the lack of financial support.B. the limited pool of participants.C. the unsatisfying test performance.D. the impractical application in real world.15. Where may the passage come from?A. A novel.B. A review.C. A magazine.D. A guidebook.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。

A. arrangement B. responsibility C. regulation D. importance( B )Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency（效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status（地位）is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows（肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality（守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table.It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59. The passage is mainly about _______.A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards60. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meeting as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.61. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentationD. When dining with business partners.62. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C.

In Switzerland.(C)HAPPY to help or too selfish to share - some scientists wonder whether generosity（慷慨大方）lies in our upbringing or in our genes（基因）.In a social science experiment carried out in an Israeli children’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,” Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfish-less and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,” said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality （道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one ticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment_______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends64. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.65. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an A VPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.(D)Directions: Read the following passages. Filling each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note there are two more sentences than you need.Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness（疯）.____67____ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness and madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, control our emotions and even create a narrative （叙事）of our experience.For example, take a trip to any kindergarten and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to her here talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her failure. __68__ We do a lot of it when we are young as a matter of fact.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others, ____69____Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children -- but we never entirely put away theout-loud version. __70__ You’re sure to see an athlete or two shouting or scolding themselves after poor performance.Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.答案：I. Grammar21. from 22. that 23. has completed 24. cleaner 25. that/ which26. can 27. when 28. have removed 29.

2019-2020学年上海师范大学附属中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析

2019-2020学年上海师范大学附属中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BMany 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 spicy food 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.4. 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 dangerous5. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition6. 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.7. 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 chiliesCA trip to thelibrary was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-my father and mother and brothers and sister--and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees--literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.8. What can we say about the author’s family?A. They enjoyed traveling abroad.B. They were library frequenters.C. They were very fond of walking.D. They led a perfectly quiet life.9. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.B. How she conducted science experiments.C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees.D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time.10. What opinion does the author hold on books?A. Book titles can sometimes be misleading.B. Science books are as interesting as novels.C. The first few paragraphs of a book are attractive.D. Books seem duller when read in libraries than at home.11. How would the author describe Little Women?A. It helped her to discover her true character.B. It made her forget about food and sleep.C. It inspired confidence in her.D. It kept her absorbed.DFollowing the Famous Silk RoadsThe Silk Roads were a networkof ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to theMediterranean. A key section of the Silk Roads is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor（走廊）, whichstretchesover a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history as the first successful multinational World Heritage application.The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXi’an, inShanxiProvince. Further west on the Silk Roads, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia. Although the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches theMediterranean.The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century. Assigned by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an toCentral Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between themajor powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk. They contributed many other items to the marketplace of goods. The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmen selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk, porcelain, ironware and tea, while horses, jewellery, spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.In addition to trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies along the network. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were brought to the West.All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave people access to new goods,knowledge and ideas. These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. The addition of the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.12. The key section of the Silk Roads is________.A. the MediterraneanB. Xi’an, inShanxiProvinceC.KazakhstanandKyrgyzstanD. the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor13. The underlined word “stretches” in Paragraph 1 is close in meaning to________.A. standsB. spreadsC. movesD. flies14. Zhang Qian travelled from Chang’an toCentral Asiato________.A. export silk, porcelain, ironware and teaB. purchase horses, jewellery, spices and grapesC. seek help from the most powerful western countriesD. build bridges between his country and other countries15. What was the role of the Silk Roads according to the passage?A. It helped to change the wild deserts to grasslands.B. It was recognized by the UNESCO asChina’s heritage.C. It speeded up the development of the countries involved.D. It started a trade competition between countries along the way.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。

They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light check kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours -- there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon Brazilians are social,4 / 10preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency（效率）is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status（地位）is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows（肘部）and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality（守时）is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. they also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.59. The passage is mainly about _______.5 / 10A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards60. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meeting as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.61. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentationD. When dining with business partners.62. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.(C)HAPPY to help or too selfish to share - some scientists wonder whether generosity（慷慨大方）lies in our upbringing or in our genes（基因）.In a social science experiment carried out in an Israeli children’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told: “ You can keep all of the stickers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers,” Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown6 / 10child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as AVPRIA. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfish-less and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play a larger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings. “If (parents) tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,” said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality （道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old, “If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.” Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave away one ticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.63. According to the article, the experiment_______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends7 / 1064. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s social behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.65. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.66. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an AVPRIA gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.(D)Directions: Read the following passages. Filling each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note there are two more sentences than you need.A. But there’s no need for embarrassment（尴尬）B. If you want proof（证据）, turn on the sports channel.8 / 10C. However, when we grow older, we keep this system inside.D. This behavior can improve our performance on some certain tasks.E. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.F. Psychologists call this kind of behavior as private speech -- language that is spoken out loud but directed at the speaker himselfTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech, you’ll know the social problems it can cause. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness（疯）.____67____ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness and madness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, control our emotions and even create a narrative（叙事）of our experience.For example, take a trip to any kindergarten and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to her here talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her failure. __68__ We do a lot of it when we are young as a matter of fact.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others, ____69____Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as “you” rather than “I”.We internalize the private speech we use as children -- but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. __70__ You’re sure to see an athlete or two shouting or scolding themselves after poor performance.9 / 10Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.答案：I. Grammar21. from 22. that 23. has completed 24. cleaner 25. that/ which26. can 27. when 28. have removed 29.
