Ms Whitman is so convinced her strategy is working thatshe's10HPE futher, spinning off both its business services division and its software business into separate companies last year.Her assumption that bigger doesn't always mean better seems11.

He started out collecting insects as a hobby, but eventually his longing for adventure led him to explore the world.Luckily for Wallace, Victorian Britain was discovering an interest in weird and wonderful insets, so the demand from museums and private collections for these bests was growing. Wallace was able to make a living doing what he loved: collecting beetles and other insects.But his first trip of exploring the world ended in disaster. Wallace proceeded to the Amazon in South America. Its giant forests promised a wealth of new species, sure to put him on the scientific map. The trip took 6 weeks and involved every mode of transport in existence at the time. After four years Wallace had to watch in despair as his samples went up in flames—including live animals he was bringing home that were trying to jump free of the flames. But he did not let it stop him.In 1854, Wallace set off on another adventure, this time to the Malay Archipelago. Wallace found himself humbled by the new and exciting things he saw. He later recalled: "As I lie listening to these interesting sounds, I think how many besides myself have longed to see with their own eyes the many wonderful and beautiful things which I am daily encountering."In 1858, Wallace wrote what became as the "Temate essay": a piece of writing that was to change our understanding of life forever. In his essay, Wallace argued that a species would only turn into another species if it was struggling for existence. Henry W. Bates was one of many scientists delighted by the idea of evolution by natural selection. In a letter to Wallace, he wrote: "The idea is like truth itself, so simple and obvious that those who read and understand it will be stuck by its simplicity, and yet it is perfectly original."(1) finally caused Wallace to explore the world.A. His strong affection for natureB. His life-long devotion to beastsC. His deep love for adventureD. Increasing demand for insects(2) Which of the following is True about Wallace's first strip?A. It took him six weeks to explore the Amazon with all kinds of transportation.B. He made a scientific study of a fairly limited number of insects.C.

His passion cooled after the disaster.(3) Wallace felt on the Malay Archipelago.A. fearlessB. luckyC. challengedD. risky(4) Wallace's idea on evolution of natural selection.A. made no sense at that timeB. built up a new concept of lifeC. was too simple to be trueD. revealed the origin of nature5、【来源】 2017年上海黄浦区高三二模（B篇）第60~62题6分Virtual realityProbably the most exciting tech development of recent times, virtual reality（VR） has arrived, with sufficient options available to the consumer who's searching for anextra amount of high-tech fun.

Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri, a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision, Wright learned how to use a screen reader to read the site through the touch of keyboard and sound of a robotic voice. Still, when a friend sends her in a photo, Wright often has no clue what the image shows.Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what's in an image."I can have a basic picture in my mind of what's going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own, " said Wright, who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested. "Of course, it's different, but it's something more than I had."An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally, according to the World Health Organization, and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring outwhat's in a photo because the description isn't clear or doesn't exist.Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings, adding alternative text for images, launching keyboard shortcuts, and more. Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts.With 1.5 billion users, Facebook isn't the only social media company that wants to improve its website for the visually impaired. Along with Facebook and other major tech firms, Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called "Teaching Accessibility."Jeff Wieland, Facebook's head of accessibility engineering, said the group wants to educate more engineers, especially early on in college, about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others. "We really don't want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies, " Wieland said. "We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in mind."(1) What tool helps the visually disabled to read Facebook?A. A screen readerB. A special keyboardC. A helpful robotD. HTML headings(2) What can be inferred from the passage about the new tool created by Facebook?A. It adds a lot of shortcuts on the keyboard.B. It helps users to employ their senses other than sight.C. It meets no competitors with its advanced technology.D. It inspires more engines to explore artificial intelligence.(3) The underlined phrase in the last paragraph "are compatible with" most probablymeans.A. are unaffordable toB. bring harm toC. keep company ofD. well suit(4) Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Screen reader: tool to access social mediaB. Ongoing effort: strength to improve websitesC. Artificial intelligence: power to help the blindD. Teaching accessibility: initiative to educate engineer五、信息匹配7、【来源】 2017年上海黄浦区高三二模第67~70题8分Your Own Best FriendTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech ahead of time. You'll have felt the social restriction against communicating with yourself in words. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.1Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a narrative of our experience.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to herfrustrations.2We do a lot of it when we are young—perhaps one reason for our shyness about continuing with it as adults.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior ofother.3Psychological 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: "you" rather than "I".We internalize the private speech we use as children—but we never entirely put away the out-loud version.4You're sure to see an athlete or two getting themselves ready for a sharp phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.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.A. But there's no need for embarrassment.B. If you want proof, turn on the sports channel.C. As we grow older, we don't abandon this system—we internalize it.D. This so-called inner speech can improve our performance on various tasks.E. Conducting a dialogue with ourselves might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.F. Psychologists refer to this as private speech—language that is spoken out loud but directed at the self.六、阅读简答8、【来源】 2017年上海黄浦区高三二模第71题5分Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Moustache（胡子）for Cash"Movember", as the annual event is known, sees men in countries including the UK, US and Australia grow out their facial hair while collecting sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues, with the money going to cancer charities.The month of no shaving began unofficially in 2003, when a pair of men from Australia persuaded their family to join them in growing a moustache in order to encourage men to get themselves checked for cancer, which is seen as distasteful by some males. A year later, the group decided to set up the Movember Foundation, asking friends and colleagues to offer donations of money to support their efforts, and raised a massive A$54, 000 which was shared between a number of health projects. With thanks most likely a social media, Movember soon went global and the foundation now operates worldwide, having raised over￡440 million since 2004. The effects of the fundraising are wide-reaching, which had made a significant discovery in the treatment of cancer.The issue of some men being too self-willed to visit their doctor for a checkup, or perhaps being raised in a culture of "touch it out"，has led some males to neglect their health, which may mean it could be too late if something potentially deadly did develop. However, Movember is helping to break down the shame of male to appeal to men in a way that other campaigns just don't—with a sort of blokey jokiness.七、翻译9、【来源】 2017年上海黄浦区高三二模第72~75题8分Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.(1) 永远不要对你孩子的缺点熟视无睹。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力略第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35 分）第一节（共10 个小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分25 分）AIt is halfway through October. The sun arrives early and I stare out my window, feeling shamefor invading ( 侵犯） the privacy of the homeless woman who has settled across the street. I am not sure when she first appeared, maybe a month ago. Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine.She wears the same dirty, badly torn dress every day. I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position. She fails in the first two or three tries, but determination always wins out. She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes, appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possession--all packed into five plastic bags. With tears in my eyes, I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling. Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears.When I first noticed this woman, I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars, but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me. The expression on her face was one of shame, causing me to feel guilt for invading her privacy. The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke,and left them in the spot when she was not there. Feeling like a spy, I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving cat that had not eaten for days.I too often find myself complaining about life, but when I look out my window and see the old woman, I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am. There are many poor people in my town. I have become familiar with many of their faces, and then suddenly they disappear. I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is. I fear that day.21.What is the main idea of paragraph 2 ? A.Life is tough for the homeless woman.B.Poverty causes the woman’ s poor health.C.The woman doesn’ t care about her appearance.D.Possessions mean much to the woman.22. Why did the woman refuse the author’ s 20 dollars?A. The money didn’ t help much.B. She didn’ t like the author.C. Accepting money was guilty.D. She felt he dignity was hurt.23.What lesson does the author learn from the homeless woman?plaints can sometimes make life worse.B.He should appreciate his present life more.C.More is to be done to make life meaningful.D.We should all apologize for ignoring the poor.24.Which of the following words best describe the author of the text?A. OptimisticB. SympatheticC. DeterminedD. Easy-goingBA laptop, a hair straightener, Christmas lights, an e -reader, a kettle, two bags, a pair of jeans, aremote-control helicopter, a spoon, and a dining -room chair. All broken.It sounds like a pile of things that you’ s stuck in boxes and take to the dustbin. In fact, itof things mended in a single afternoon by British volunteers determined to get people to stopthrowing things away. This is the Reading Repair Cafe, part of an international network aimedat dealing with a world of rubbish.The helicopter belongs to William, who cheerfully describes himself as “ mechanically imcompetent” . He has owned it for 8 years, but 3 years ago it stopped working and it has beensitting unused in his cupboard ever since.He sits down at the table of Colin Haycock, an IT professional who volunteers at the repair cafe,which has been running for about four years and is a place where people can bring all manner ofhousehold items to be fixed for free. In less than five minutes, Haycock has fixed the helicopterand it works well.William looks ashamed;Haycock looks pleased. “ I wish they were all that simple,” he says. Today, the repairs will stop 24 kg of waste from going to landfill (垃圾填埋场）and save 284kgof CO2. Some items can’ t be fixed on the spot but very little needs to be thrown away.Gabrille Stanley, who used to run a clothing business, says she was drawn to volunteering at therepair cafe to fight the“ throwaway culture” she sees. About 300,000 tons of clothing was sent to landfill in UK in 2016 and a report from WRAP puts the average lifespan (寿命）for a piece ofclothing in the UK at 3.3 years.25.What is the author’ s purpose in writing paragraph 1?A.To present the main idea.B.To support the author’ s opinion.C.To raise reader’ s interest.D.To establish an argument.26. Why doesn ’ t William repair the helicopter himself?A. He is both lazy and busy.B. He is ashamed of repair work.C. He doesn’ t treasure the helicopter.D. He lakes the necessary skills.27.Which of the following argument will Cabrille Stanley probably agree with?A.People should send old clothing to landfill.B.People should hold on to their clothes longer.C.Clothing factories are to blame for the waste.D.Running a clothing business is no easy task.CThe descriptions are scary. Some people felt fine in the morning and then were dead by night. Patients coughed up blood. Their faces turned blue. That was what happened in 1918. A deadly flu killed ten of millions of people around the world. It is 100 years later. Scientists are thinking about how to keep us safe from another super -flu.Dr. Anthony Fauci says we need one vaccine（疫苗）that can protect against most or all types of the flu. Scientists want a shot that people could get every 5 or 10 years to get rid of normal flu shots. Maybe someday we will need just one shot. It could last our whole lives. It will not be easy. Scientists have been learning about flu for 100 years. Still, the flu often beats our best plans tostop it. That is because it is always changing.The immune system ( 免疫系统） protects the body. It keeps us healthy by fighting things that might harm the body. To get around our immune system, the flu changes itself every year. Scientists have a new plan, though. They are learning how the flu tricks the immune system. Theyare finding which part of the flu stays the same each year. The 1918 flu outbreak shows why this isso important. Back then, there was no flu vaccine. There was no way to stop it. By winter 1919.the flu had infected one -third of the world’ s population, killing more than 50 million people in ashort time.In 2009, scientists made a great discovery. They learned something new. Sometimes, peopleimmune system make a small number of special antibodies. Antibodies are proteins （蛋白质） inthe blood.These proteins stop us from getting sick. These special antibodies can stop the flu.Scientists are trying different tricks to get people’ s bodies to make more of those antibodies. They still need to learn more, though. In the meantime, Fauci says it is silly to think about what the nextflu might bring.“ We just need to be prepared,” he said.28. The flu tricks the immune system by__________________.A. changing itself every yearB. remaining totally unchangedC.producing special antibodiesD. harming proteins in the body.29.What can we learn from the text?A.The flu causes more deaths than it did 100 years ago.B.A flu vaccine shot with long -term effects is easy to make.C.The super flu will take about 5 or 10 years to get rid of.D.People don ’ t have to be too concerned about the flu.30.What is the main idea of the text?A.The deadly flu killed ten of millions of people in such a short time.B.Scientist are trying to figure out the best protecting against the flu.C.The immune system plays a vital part in keeping us from being sick.D. People around the world are scared of the sudden outbreak of the flu.第二节（共 5 小题 ;每小题 2 分，满分10 分）Why I Got Rid of My Cell PhoneIn 2017 I decided to take a break from my cell phone.

文科英语难度系数0.62，合肥市平均分92.27，我校均分116.67，高市平均分23.39。

在考查语言知识的基础上，也注重考核语言的运用和交际能力。

试题材料贴近生活、贴近时代、体现丰富的文化内涵并注重跨文化意识和英语核心素养的培养。

具体分析如下：听力部分：1.考点分析：考查考生对口头语言材料的理解以及从中获取信息的能力。

本卷听力部分涉及到的交际情境有天气情况、个人活动安排、假期旅程、法语学习、学校生活、假期安排等考生日常生活和学习中所熟悉的话题。

设问灵活，问题数量增加。

以what开头设问的试题一共有11 道，与2016 年新课标全国卷Ⅰ基本一致。

同时有where，how，why 等提问方式为辅的形式，设问方式多样化。

2.学生答题情况分析：最高分宏志班满分30分，最低分16.5，均分23.77。

全省班最高分30分，最低分13.5，均分17.32分。

3二模与一模对比：语速较一模快，难度比一模偏大4.失分原因：学生听力训练较少，语速较一模快，学生跟不上节奏，部分班级听力设备有问题，噪音较大，学生基础知识不扎实，有的词汇无法快速反应其中文意思。

5.备考建议：1.夯实基础，熟悉重音、语调等相关语音知识，加强辨音能力；2.选择信息量丰富，选项干扰较强的听力材料进行练习；3.通过积累同义表达，反复听练习材料等方式培养语言灵活转换的能力；4.坚持听力训练，限时限量常抓不懈。

七选五分析：1.考点分析：本篇文章用实例阐述了同情心是为善的关键，话题贴近生活，符合学生的认知特点。

文章结构严谨，层次分明，37题，38题难度较大，其余3题难度适中。

但因为Empathy很多同学不认识，很多考生对文章的基本结构和主旨要义的理解不透彻，影响了答题的准确率。

但短文整体还是能够较全面地考查考生利用上下文语境中的有效信息进行判断和推理，并完成阅读理解任务的能力。

by Paul TherouxChoosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world：It's impossible to settle on just one．But The Old Patagonian Express，which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston，USA to southern Argentina，is right up there at the top of my list．Theroux has a wicked sense of humor．He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels．Walden by Henry David ThoreauIf he were alive today，Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book．But I regard it as a travel﹣writing masterpiece．"I went into the woods，"he writes，"because I wished to live deliberately，to front only the essential facts of life，and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die，discover that I had not lived．"That's the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records．The Dharma Bums by Jack KerouacLike so many people，I fell in love with Kerouac's novels in my late teens and early 20s．On the Road gets all the press，but I always love The Dharma Bums．Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains，Berkeley，and backpacking in the Sierras．It's hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire．Confucius Lives Next Door by T．R．ReidThis is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan，only the cross﹣cultural differences are much greater．Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post，enabling him to uncover truths about the country．Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools，including Yodobashi No.6Elementary School，where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff．21．Which book enables readers to experience great cross﹣cultural differences？A．The Old Patagonian Express．B．Confucius Lives Next Door．C．On the Road．D．Walden．22．What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums？A．A strong desire to follow．B．A love for novels．C．A wish to learn cooking．D．An excitement to write poems．23．Which writer based his book on a train journey from home to abroad？A．T．R．Reid．B．Henry David Thoreau．C．Paul Theroux．D．Jack Kerouac．24．What features most modern travel books according to the author？A．Experience．B．Observation．C．Culture．D．Discovery．25．Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia and raised on a tobacco farm．She married her first cousin，David Day and later settled near Baltimore in Turner Station where Day worked at a steel mill．After giving birth to her fifth child，she was diagnosed with cervical cancer．She was treated at Johns Hopkins，the only hospital within twenty miles that treated black patients and had been established as a charity hospital．In an attempt to grow everlasting cells，Dr．George Gey took samples of all women who came to Hopkins with cervical cancer．After taking a biopsy （活检） of Henrietta's cervical cancer，researcher Dr．George Gey discovered that unlike any cells they had seen before，Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce，but thrive outside the body﹣﹣a breakthrough that would change modern medicine．Actually，her cells doubled in size every 24 hours and Dr．Gey shared these cells for free with any researcher interested．Later，Dr．Stanley Gartler found that Henrietta's cells were even capable of jumping out of the petri dish（培养皿） and taking other cell types．As a result，these cells，named HeLa（for Henrietta Lacks） were essential in the research into cancer，AIDS，the effects of radiation and poisonous substances，gene mapping，and countless other scientific pursuits．And they've been used in tens of thousands of research studies．Ms．Lacks died not too long after her diagnosis in 1951．She unknowingly held the key to unlocking medical advancements in her tumor cells．Now，decades afterHenrietta's death，her cells are still alive．For many years，her family knew nothing about the impact her cells had on medical science﹣she provided a crucial sample of cells that has furthered the knowledge of medical science and disease prevention． Now nearly 60years after her death，in May 2011，Morgan State University in Baltimore awarded her an honorary degree．25．What is the passage mainly about？A．A woman's contribution to medical progress．B．The contribution of Johns Hopkins．C．The original research of cancer．D．The death of a black patient．26．Which word can describe the cells of Henrietta Lacks？A．Radioactive．B．Poisonous．C．Active．D．Interesting．27．What does the underlined word"thrive"mean probably？A．Die．B．Grow．C．Break．D．Change．28．The book Outliers makes a list of the seventy﹣five richest people in history． Do you know what's interesting about that list？Of the 75 names，an astonishing 14are Americans born within nine years of each other in the mid 19th century．Think about that for a moment．Historians start with Cleopatra and the Pharaohs and comb through every year in human history ever since，looking in every corner of the world for evidence of extraordinary wealth，and almost 20percent of the names they end up with come from a single generation in a single country．Here's the list：What's going on here？The answer is obvious，if you think about it．In the 1860's and 1870's，the American economy went through perhaps the greatest transformation in its history．This was when the railways were built，and when Wall Street emerged．It was when industrial manufacturing started properly．It was when all the rules by which the traditional economy functioned were broken and remade．What that list says is that it really matters how old you were when that transformation happened． If you were born in the late 1840's，you missed it．You were too young to take advantage of that moment．If you were born in the 1820's，you were too old：your mindset was shaped by the pre﹣Civil War pattern．But there is a particular，narrow nine﹣year window that was just perfect for seeing the potential that the future held．All of the 14 men and women on that list had vision and talent．But they also were given an extraordinary opportunity．28．What does the author think of the fact that 14 of the 75 richest people were born in USA？A．Surprising．B．Exciting．C．Unfair．D．Proud．29．What does the author think leads to the great wealth of the richest people in the USA？A．Their strong hardwork．B．Their talented mindset．C．The industrial tradition．D．The economic transformation．30．What does the author think is the most important to the 14 richest Americans in the last paragraph？A．Talent．B．Vision．C．Opportunity．D．Potential．31．What is right about the 14 American﹣born richest people on the list？A．They were chosen throughout USA．B．They were born from 1831 to 1840．C．They were shaped by the Civil war．D．They were interesting and wealthy．32．About 100 years ago the horse﹣manure（马粪） crisis drove most observers to despair.19th﹣century cities depended on horses for daily functioning．In New York in 1900，100，000 horses were used in all transport，and in delivering the goods needed by the growing population．The problem was that all these horses produced huge amounts of manure．A horse on average produces 15﹣35 pounds of manure per day．Consequently，the streets of 19th﹣century cities were covered by horse manure．This，in turn，attracted huge numbers of flies，and the dried manure was blown everywhere．Every day 2.5 million pounds of horse manure were produced and had to be swept up and disposed of．In 1898 the first international urban﹣planning conference was held in New York．It was abandoned after three days，instead of the scheduled ten，because nobody could see any solution to the growing crisis by urban horses and their output． The problem did seem tough．The larger and richer that cities became，the more horses they needed．The more horses，the more manure．In 1894，a writer estimated that in 50 years every street in London would be buried under nine feet of manure．Moreover，all these horses had to be stabled，which used up ever﹣larger areas of increasingly valuable land．And as the number of horses grew，ever﹣more land had to be devoted to producing hay to feed them （rather than producing food for people），and this had to be brought into cities and distributed﹣by horse﹣drawn vehicles．It seemed that urban civilization was doomed．Of course，urban civilization was not buried in manure．Because millions of horses were replaced by motor vehicles!This was possible because of cleverness of inventors and entrepreneurs such as Gottlieb Daimler and Henry Ford，and a system that gave them the freedom to put their ideas into practice．Even more important，however，was the existence of the price mechanism．When the price of horse﹣drawn transport rose steadily with the increasing cost of feeding and housing horses，strong incentives（动机） were created for people to find alternatives．32．How would you feel if you were walking on the New York street of 1900？A．Sick．B．Light﹣hearted．C．Excited．D．Satisfied．33．What was the problem that New York faced one hundred years ago？A．Heavy traffic．B．Narrow streets．C．Little valuable land．D．Horse manure．34．What was the probable target of the first international urban﹣planning conference in 1898？A．To feed more horses．B．To find a solution to horse manure．C．To reduce public buses．D．To produce motor vehicles．35．What was the most important factor in solving the urban civilization problem of New York？A．Entrepreneurs'freedom．B．People's incentives．C．Price mechanism．D．Government's appeal．第二节（满分10 分）36．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Snowblind﹣﹣it's a frightening word．Thankfully，it's a condition that is totally preventable．Snow blindness is a painful，temporary loss of vision due to overexposure to the sun's UV rays．Essentially，snow blindness is caused by a sunburned eye．（36）Though it is commonly called snow blindness，the condition can （and often does） occur in the absence of snow．The terms"snowblind"and"snow blindness"have become popular because snow is highly reflective of ultraviolet radiation．（37） Also，skiing，mountain climbing and snowboarding usually take place at relatively high altitudes，where the sun's UV rays are stronger．Combined，these factors can double your risk of gettingsunburned eyes，compared with being outdoors at lower altitudes in the summertime．（38）Television journalist Anderson Cooper experienced snow﹣free snow blindness first﹣hand a few years ago when he spent a couple hours on a boat in Portugal without sunglasses and ended up"blind for 36hours，"according to his report of the incident．Not only can you become snowblind without snow﹣﹣it can happen without sunlight，too!（39）For example，sun lamps can cause temporary"snow"blindness if proper eye protection is not used．（40）To relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness，stay indoors and wear sunglasses．Keep your eyes well﹣moistened with artificial tears．For additional relief，use over﹣the﹣counter pain relievers．Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction．You also may find that placing a cool，dampened washcloth over your closed eyelids is comforting．A．You don't need snow to become snowblind．B．It will likely affect those traveling in snowy conditions．C．To prevent snow blindness on the slopes，wear sunglasses．D．Sometimes it occurs from man﹣made sources of ultraviolet radiationE..In fact，snow can reflect over 80percent of the UV rays that fall upon it．F．Snow blindness is scary，but usually it's temporary，and there are ways to relieve the discomfort．G．But water and white sand also are highly reflective of the sun's UV rays，thus increasing the risk．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）41．第一节：完形填空There was a businessman who was deep in debt and could see no way out．He sat on the park bench，head in hands，（41） if anything could save his company from

he had half a million dollars behind him．Suddenly，he realized that it wasn't the money，real or （59），that had turned his life around．It was his （60） self﹣confidence that gave him the power to achieve

picking my favorite place in the world：It's impossible to settle on just one．But The Old Patagonian Express，which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston，USA to southern Argentina，is right up there at the top of my list．Theroux has a wicked sense of humor．He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels．Walden by Henry David ThoreauIf he were alive today，Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book．But I regard it as a travel﹣writing masterpiece．"I went into the woods，"he writes，"because I wished to live deliberately，to front only the essential facts of life，and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die，discover that I had not lived．"That's the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records．The Dharma Bums by Jack KerouacLike so many people，I fell in love with Kerouac's novels in my late teens and early 20s．On the Road gets all the press，but I always love The Dharma Bums．Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains，Berkeley，and backpackingin the Sierras．It's hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire．Confucius Lives Next Door by T．R．ReidThis is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan，only the cross﹣cultural differences are much greater．Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post，enabling him to uncover truths about the country．Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools，including Yodobashi No.6Elementary School，where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff．21．Which book enables readers to experience great cross﹣cultural differences？BA．The Old Patagonian Express．B．Confucius Lives Next Door．C．On the Road．D．Walden．22．What will people feel after reading Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums？ A A．A strong desire to follow．B．A love for novels．C．A wish to learn cooking．D．An excitement to write poems．23．Which writer based his book on a train journey from home to abroad？ C A．T．R．Reid．B．Henry David Thoreau．C．Paul Theroux．D．Jack Kerouac．24．What features most modern travel books according to the author？ D

cross﹣cultural differences are much greater．由此可知，该书可以让读者体验跨国文化，结合选项，故选B22．A 细节题．根据文章内容It's hard to read this book without wanting to leave forthe mountains to brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire．读者读完这本书就很难不想象着要前往书中描述的场景去感受一番，结合选项，故选A23．C 细节题．根据文章内容But The Old Patagonian Express，which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston，USA to southern Argentina，is right up there at the top of my list．由此可知，Paul Theroux写的书 The Old Patagonian Express 是以他从美国到阿根廷去的火车旅行为基调的，结合选项，故选C24．D 推理题．根据文章内容主要简述了作者最喜欢的基本旅行书籍，几本书籍都有差不多的特点，就是具有对未知的探索性，结合选项，故选D25．Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Virginia and raised on a tobacco farm．She married her first cousin，David Day and later settled near Baltimore in Turner Station where Day worked at a steel mill．After giving birth to her fifth child，she was diagnosed with cervical cancer．She was treated at Johns Hopkins，the only hospital within twenty miles that treated black patients and had been established as a charity hospital．In an attempt to grow everlasting cells，Dr．George Gey took samples of all women who came to Hopkins with cervical cancer．After taking a biopsy （活检） of Henrietta's cervical cancer，researcher Dr．George Gey discovered that unlike any cells they had seen before，Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce，but thrive outside the body﹣﹣a breakthrough that would change modern medicine．Actually，her cells doubled in size every 24 hours and Dr．Gey shared these cells for free with any researcher interested．Later，Dr．Stanley Gartler found that Henrietta's cells were even capable of jumping out of the petri dish（培养皿） and taking other cell types．As a result，these cells，named HeLa（for Henrietta Lacks） were essential in the research into cancer，AIDS，the effects of radiation and poisonous substances，gene mapping，and countless other scientific pursuits．And they've been used in tens of thousands of research studies．Ms．Lacks died not too long after her diagnosis in 1951．She unknowingly held the key to unlocking medical advancements in her tumor cells．Now，decades afterHenrietta's death，her cells are still alive．For many years，her family knew nothing about the impact her cells had on medical science﹣she provided a crucial sample of cells that has furthered the knowledge of medical science and disease prevention． Now nearly 60years after her death，in May 2011，Morgan State University in Baltimore awarded her an honorary degree．25．What is the passage mainly about？ AA．A woman's contribution to medical progress．B．The contribution of Johns Hopkins．C．The original research of cancer．D．The death of a black patient．26．Which word can describe the cells of Henrietta Lacks？ C A．Radioactive．B．Poisonous．C．Active．D．Interesting．27．What does the underlined word"thrive"mean probably？ B A．Die．B．Grow．C．Break．D．Change．【考点】O1：人物故事类．【分析】本文主要讲的是一位名叫Henrietta Lacks 的女士因其独特的肿瘤细胞对于医药科学领域的贡献在去世60周年以后的2011年被摩根州立大学授予荣誉学位的故事．【解答】25﹣27．ACB25题答案：A 考查文章大意，本文主要讲的是一位名叫Henrietta Lacks 的女士因其独特的肿瘤细胞对于医药科学领域的贡献在去世60周年以后的2011年被摩根州立大学授予荣誉学位的故事，故本题答案为A选项．26题答案：C

But psychologists say this addictive form of vitriolic（刻薄）back and forth should be avoided-or simply checked by online media outlets-because it actually damages society and mental health.A perfect storm of factors come together to cause the rudeness and aggression seen in the comments' sections of Web pages, said Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. First, commenters are often nearly nameless, and thus, unaccountable for their rudeness. Second, they are at a distance from the target of their anger-be it the article they're commenting on or another comment on that article-and people tend to go against distant abstractions more easily than living, breathing talkers. Third, it's easier to be nasty in writing than in speech, hence the now somewhat out-of-date practice of leaving angry notes（back when people used paper）, Markman said.And finally, Edward Wasserman, Knight Professor in Journalism Ethics at Washington and Lee University, noted another cause of the vitriol: bad examples set by the media. "Unfortunately, mainstream media have made a fortune teaching people the wrong ways to talk to each other. People understandably conclude anger is the political vernacular（行话）, that this is how public ideas are talked about," Wasserman wrote in an article on his university's website. "It isn't. "In Markman's opinion, media outlets should cut down on the anger and hatred that have become the model in reader exchanges. "It's valuable to allow all sides of an argument to be heard. To a greater degree,someone who is making a reasonable point but with an angry tone is hurting the nature of the argument, because they are promoting people to respond in a similar way," he said.For their part, people should seek out actual human beings to communicate with, Markman said-and we should make a point of including a few people in our social circles who think differently from us. "You'll develop a healthy respect for people whose opinions differ from your own; the back-and-forth negotiation that goes on in having a conversation with someone you don't agree with is a skill and it's not easy to master it, " Markman said.(1) Why do psychologists encourage people to stop attacking each other online?A. The social problems are too complex to figure out.B. The online media outlets will review the comments.C. The action does harm to society and individuals.D. The Internet users are easily attached to hot topics.(2) What can we learn from the analysis by Markman?A. People are cautious to make vitriolic remarks online.B. The targets online are more likely to be commented on.C. Understanding the literal meaning is easier than oral language.D. An argument with an angry tone can promote its power.(3) What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A. To show different ways of expressing opinions.B. To reveal the severe problems of the public media.C. To raise the awareness of proper communication.D. To urge people to carry out actual offline communications.19、【来源】 2017年江苏镇江高三二模第51~54题8分2018年江苏苏州高三二模第51~54题8分2017年江苏常州高三二模第51~54题8分2017年江苏无锡高三二模第51~54题8分Scientists should be allowed to change a person's DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable（遗传）diseases, according to a new reportfrom the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. However, making changes to these genes in order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded.Changing the so-called germline（种系）is illegal in the United States. It has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as well, at least while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies.However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolutionary technique known as CRISPR-Cas 9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic （新陈代谢的） disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations（突变）-without changing the germline.Last year, Chinese scientists launched a trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a treatment for lung cancer. While the trial's outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage.CRISPR-Cas9 makes gene editing more straightforward, more precise and far more widespread. As such, the National Academies' report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming "a realistic possibility that deserves serious consideration. "The 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists who produced the report completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect.Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with "reasonable alternatives, " the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said. In addition, they added, scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits of changing that gene.Finally, scientists should conduct long﹣term follow-up studies to know how gene editing affects the next generations. Public debate and discussion about the technology should continue, the panel added.(1) In what circumstances can scientists change a person's DNAA. Making a person look much younger.B. Protecting future generations from some heritable diseases.C. Using the most advanced gene-editing technologies.D. Changing the germline for a better function.(2) What is the advantage of CRISPR-Cas9?A. It can treat diseases more precisely without changing the germline.B. It can successfully cure people of most deadly diseases.C. It can change genes in adult human cells.D. It can stop genetic mutations.(3) What possible conclusion can be drawn according to the passage?A. Future generations will live longer and become more intelligent.B. Chinese scientists created CRISPR-Cas9 and put it into use.C. The gene editing is strictly forbidden for moral dilemmas.D. The gene editing research is still at the primary stage.(4) What does this report mainly talk about?A. A new gene﹣editing technology and concerns about it.B. A germline﹣editing technology and approval for it.C. Clinical trials of gene editing and social values of them.D. Some germline clinical trials and scientific effects of them.20、【来源】 2017年江苏镇江高三二模第55~60题12分2017年江苏常州高三二模第55~60题12分2018年江苏苏州高三二模第55~60题12分2017年江苏无锡高三二模第55~60题12分When Peter Fortune was ten years old grown-up people sometimes used to tell him he was a "difficult" child. He never understood what they meant. He didn't feel difficult at all. He didn't throw milk bottles at the garden wall, or tip tomato ketchup over his head and pretend it was blood, or slash at his granny's ankle with his sword, though he occasionally thought of these things. Apart from all vegetables except potatoes, and fish, eggs and cheese, there was nothing he would not eat. He wasn't noisier or dirtier or more stupid than anyone he knew. His name was easy to say and spell. His face, which was pale and freckled, was easy enough to remember. He went to school every day like all other children and never made that much fuss about it. He was only as offensive to his sister as she was to him. Policemen never came knocking at the front door wanting to arrest him. Doctors in white coats never offered to take him away to the madhouse. As far as Peter was concerned, he was really quite easy. What was difficult about him?It was not until he had been a grown-up himself for many years that Peter finally understood. They thought he was difficult because he was so silent. That seemed to bother people. The other problem was he liked being by himself. ① Not all the time, of course. Not even every day. But most days he liked to go off somewhere for an hour to his bedroom, or the park. He liked to be alone and think his thoughts.Now, grown-ups like to think they know what's going on inside a ten-year-old's head. And it's impossible to know what someone is thinking if they keep quiet about it. People would see Peter lying on his back on a summer's afternoon, chewing a piece of grass and staring at the sky. "Peter, Peter! What are you thinking about" they would call to him. And Peter would sit up with a start. "Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. " Grown-ups knew that something was going on inside that head, but they couldn't hear it or see it or feel it. They couldn't tell Peter to stop it, because they did not know what it was he was doing in there. ②He could have been setting his school on fire or feeding his sister to an alligator and escaping in a hot air balloon, but all they saw was a boy staring at the blue sky without blinking, a boy who did not hear you when you called his name.As for being on his own, grown-ups didn't much like that either. They don't even like other grown ﹣ups being on their own. When you join in, people can see what you're up to. You're up to what they're up to. ③ Peter had different ideas. In fact, he thought, if people spent less time joining in and making others join in, and spent a little time each day alone remembering who they were or who they might be, then the world would be a happier place and wars might never happen…The trouble with being a daydreamer who doesn't say much is that the teachers at school, especially the ones who don't know you very well, are likely to think you are rather stupid. ④ Or, if not stupid, then dull. No one can see the amazing things that are going on in your head. A teacher who saw Peter staring out the window or at a blank sheet of paper on his desk might think that he was bored, or stuck for an answer. But the truth was quite different.(1) It can be learned from the first paragraph that.A. Peter liked playing practical jokesB. Peter wasn't particular about food at allC. boys generally did some crazy thingsD. Peter knew why he was called "difficult"(2) Which of the following would Peter be most likely to do?A. To walk around a lake for quite a while.B. To break the neighbor's fence for fun.C. To tie a dirty dustbin to a dog's tail.D. To sleep in the tent with his friends.(3) Where can the sentence "You have to join in, or you'll spoil it for everyone else. " most probably be put?A. ①B. ②C. ③D. ④(4) What is the main reason that Peter was considered "difficult" by grown-ups?A. He was far from communicative.B. He turned a deaf ear to others.C. He did not do well in his studies.D. He preferred to live on his own.(5) What might the author continue to write about in the following part?A. Effective measures to help Peter out.B. How the unique ideas Peter had amazed others.C. Difficulties keeping Peter from learning well.D. Further prejudice against Peter among grown-ups.(6) What can serve as the best title of this passage?A. The DaydreamerB. The TroublemakerC. The Hard NutD.

They followed dozens of bus drivers for two weeks, looking to see when they flashed fake versus sincere smiles at their passengers. The results showed that on days when the drivers tried to put on an act and pretend to be in a good mood, their actual moods got worse. This was especially true for women. And another research suggests that people who really want to be happy actually obtain less happiness from positive experiences, apparently because their expectations are too high. Again and again, trying to gain happiness despite no preference seems to have the opposite result.The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers Oliver John and James Gross, who found that negative feelings like sadness or anger only intensify when we try to suppress （压制）them. That's because we feel bad about ourselves when our outward appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside. What's more, when we suppress emotions like sadness, we deny them the important function they serve. If we don't recognize sadness we might not take the necessary steps to improve the situation. Expressing our sadness can also get comfort and compassion from those who care about us, strengthening our bonds.Recently, scientists have also been paying special attention to the benefits of mindfulness. When you respond mindfully to an emotional trigger（诱因）, you pause rather than reacting, and then you can escape getting troubled by thoughtfulness. Rather than scold yourself, you simply notice what you're feeling without judging that response as right or wrong. Studies suggest that a mindful response to a negative event reduces the amount of sadness we experience, is associated with less depression and anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits, such as lowering our heart rates.Unavoidably, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being.That was the key insight from a study published in 2014 by a team of researchers from Yale University. Their survey of more than 37,000 people found that, after experiencing a greater variety and abundance of emotions consistently linked to lower depression, people took less medication, visited doctors less frequently, spent fewer days in hospitals, practiced better dietary and exercise habits, and smoked less.In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are like so many other parts of the holidays, they're nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences.五、书面表达（25分）22、【来源】 2017年江苏镇江高三二模第71题25分2018年江苏苏州高三二模第71题25分2017年江苏无锡高三二模第71题25分2017年江苏常州高三二模第71题25分请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
