第I卷（共100分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45分）AA new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, fussy or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or fussy.Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science. “I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said ,“ I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet(电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children. ”But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes o r no answer. The Bells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially othersin the future.1．How does the app judge what babies want?A．By collecting data. B．By recording all the sounds.C．By analyzing the sound of their cries. D．By asking parents about specific messages.2．What was the app designed for in the beginning?A．All new parents. B．Deaf parents.C．Ariana Anderson. D．Crying babies.3．What i s Ball’s opinion about the app?A．Parents should use the app wisely.B．The app can create an accurate result.C．Parents and babies are addicted to the app.D．The app makes babies lose love and caring.4．What is the text mainly about?A．Parents should not rely too much on their smartphones.B．A new app helps parents figure out why their babies are crying.C．Parents can deal with babies’ hunger with the help of a new app.D．A new app called ChatterBaby can prevent babies from crying.BMany people spend more than four hours per day on We Chat, and it is redefining the word “friend.” Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life?Robin Dunbar, a professor at Oxford University, found that only 15, of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has, could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends. We Chat may show a similar pattern.Those with whom you attended a course together, applied for the same part-time job, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends. In chat records, the only message may be a system notice, “You have accepted somebody’s friend request”. Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on “Moments”, you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends. Also, you maybe disturbed by mass messages (群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends, links from Pinduoduo (a Chinese e-commerce platform that allows users to buy items at lower prices if they purchase in groups) and cookie-cutter (一模一样的) blessings in holidays.You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networkingis valuable to one’s success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found thatyou have unfriended them already. Then, you keep increasing your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested. Butthe fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing numberof your friends in social media.If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships canbe tough to you, and sometimes even will make you anxious. According to Robin Dunbar,150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.5．What can we learn from Robin Dunbar's finding in Paragraph 2?A．A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.B．Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.C．Among our social media friends, only a few people matter.D．Only 15 people of a person’s Facebook friends can be close friends.6．What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends?A．You have deep communication with them.B．You benefit a lot from their mass messages.C．You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.D．You become friends with them in important occasions.7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Removing unfamiliar friends in WeChat.B．Strengthening ties with your We Chat friends.C．Keeping increasing your friends in social media.D．Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．We will be anxious if we make friends online.B．We should avoid making any friends in social media.C．We should make as many friends as possible in social media.D．We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.CLast week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the nextcouple of years.9．Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B．5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C．5G helps people communicate better with each other.D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.10．The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________A．making a speech to B．trying to solveC．managing to decrease D．responding to11．The last paragraph indicates thatA．it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B．5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC．customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD．it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in BritainDZebra crossings (斑马线) — the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface — are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden’s Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way to get drivers to pay more attention — a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city’s residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion oflogs of wood on the streets in Taizhou， China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India.Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city’s most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let’s look forward to it.12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.B．Common zebra crossings don’t function well.C．Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.D．About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings. 13．Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2?A．Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.B．Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.C．Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules.D．Because the drivers don’t want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.A．the theory of the 3D zebra crossingsB．the popularity of the 3D zebra crossingsC．the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossingsD．the positive effect of the 3D zebra crossings15．What is the author’s attitude towards the 3D zebra cross ings?A．Cautious. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Disapproving.其次节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

上海市进才中学2023-2024学年高二下学期3月月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Over the past decade or so, biologists have shown that we are filled with microbiomes (微生物组), inside and out. This microbiome, 1 (compose) of bacteria, fungi and viruses, profoundly influences our health and fitness and sometimes is even linked to our emotional state.The oral microbiome gets far less attention, but we 2 (know) of it for a long time. In 1891, US dentist Willoughby D．Miller first proposed that bacteria could leave the mouth, travel to other parts of the body and cause disease. We only began to get supporting evidence in 1989, when researchers noticed that people who had experienced a heart attack were rated as having oral health that was about twice as poor as 3 of a control group. Even when age, social class and smoking habits 4 (account) possible factors, the results remained almost the same. A solid link seemed to be there.More recently, thanks to DNA sequencing technology, by cataloguing the microbes in our mouths, we are now finding that the types of bacteria people have 5 (live) there seem to be associated with a growing number of conditions like cancer. Perhaps the most striking example is Alzheimer’s disease. It can be found that people with gum (牙龈) disease are 6 increased risk of developing this condition, which slowly robs people of their memories, personalities and cognitive function. However, until recently, it was unclear 7 poor oral health was a contributing cause of Alzheimer’s or a consequence of it.Then, in 2019, scientists discovered some species of bacteria known 8 (cause) gum disease — including one called Porphyromonas gingivalis — which are inside the brains of people who died of Alzheimer’s disease. If the mouth bacteria were getting into the brain, that lent weight to the idea that they could be a cause of Alzheimer’s.Researchers are still trying to grasp how this could happen. 9 the mechanism is, they note that there may be a way you can protect yourself in advance. Dental scientists at theUniversity of Melbourne, Australia, is developing a vaccine against gum disease 10 you can reduce the risks of gum diseases significantly.二、选词填空Directions: 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.Luxury brands used to speak in monologues. However, nowadays, influencers are becoming the ambassadors of those luxurious brands.In the age of social media, the buyers are having a voice in products, in particular, the influencers. These individuals have won large followings by 11 and attacking occasionally a variety of products. Their fame stems from the clever use of Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok. Their posts seem trivial. Their business isn’t.For consumers, influencers are at once a walking advert and a trusted friend. For the brands, they are a(n) 12 . And for regulators, they are the subject of ever closer review. On March 29th, news reports 13 that China’s authorities were planning new restrictions concerning livestreaming platforms. The limitations 14 how much money internet users can spend tipping their favorite influencers, how much those influencers can earn from fans and what they are allowed to post.There hardly exists any 15 of the size of the influencer industry. One in 2020 from the National Bureau of Statistics in China, where influencers gained prominence earlier than in the West, assessed its contribution to the economy at $210bn, equivalent to 1.4% of GDP. As with many things digital, the pandemic seems to have given it a(n) 16 as more people were glued to their smartphones more of the time. The influencer ecosystem is challenging the 17 principle of luxury-brand management. Apart from being one-directional, campaigns have tendedto be 18 , unchanging and expensive. The same smile from the same photograph of the same Hollywood star would induce passers-by to purchase an item for many years. Such star-led campaigns can be unappealing to teenagers and 20-somethings 19 authenticity over timeless glamour. And influencers, with their girl-or boy-next-door charm, offer this for a small portion of the fee of a big-name star. The best ones are able to repackage a brand’s message in a way that is 20 with their voice, their followers’ tastes and their platform of choice. So to be a top-ten brand, you have to know how to play the digital game. If you don’t, you are not going to be top ten for very long.三、完形填空A cancer diagnosis will force King Charles III out of the public eye for the foreseeable future. For a highly 21 royal family that has cultivated its public image through countless appearances a year — ribbon-cuttings, ship launchings, gala benefits and so on — the marginalization of Charles may finally force the royals to rethink how they 22 themselves in a social-media age.The king’s illness is the latest 23 to the British royal family, which has seen its ranks thinning by death, scandal (Prince Andrew) and self-exile (流放) (Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan). Regardless of what is predicted, it appears that the king’s cancer presses the royal family into 24 territory.The answer to it, royal watchers argue, may be 25 . During the coronavirus pandemic, Elizabeth conducted meeting s via Zoo m calls,becoming 26 enough with it that she made jokes with the digitally distorted faces on her computer screen.Social media can also be employed to enhance the 27 exposure of family members. The royal family’s Instagram account 28 more than 13 million followers. But for young people, who spend whole day following their favorite celebrities online, a royal turning up to dedicate a new primary school may not 29 as much as it did to their previous generations.Prince Harry, the king’s younger son, fell out bitterly with his family after his 30 from royal duties and relocation to California in 2020. Undoubtedly, the greatest burden falls onthe mere remaining 41-year-old heir (继承人), William, who has been recognized as a qualified successor for 31 a role on issues from climate change to homelessness. Meanwhile, he has jealously guarded his family’s 32 , demanding his office release no photographs of three young children visiting their mother in the hospital. That approach stood 33 his father, who approve the disclosure of an unusual amount of detail about his recent cancer diagnosis. The scrutiny (审查) of William will 34 increase, experts said, as he occupies a more central place in the Windsor family hierarchy.Queen Elizabeth viewed assuming kingly duties as so 35 that she steeled herself, two days before her death at 96, to meet with the outgoing prime minister in Scotland, masking her own condition. Charles, though, has departed from long family practice “in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer.”21．A．apparent B．controversial C．visible D．generous 22．A．project B．market C．illustrate D．propose 23．A．witness B．blow C．solution D．disloyalty 24．A．uncharted B．unnoticed C．indefensible D．inexcusable 25．A．human-initiated B．strategy-focused C．technology-drivenD．goal-oriented26．A．frustrated B．preoccupied C．content D．comfortable 27．A．in-depth B．in-person C．in-between D．in-built 28．A．claims B．calculates C．confirms D．clarifies 29．A．matter B．contribute C．relate D．bring 30．A．dismissal B．survival C．withdrawal D．renewal 31．A．carving out B．applying for C．identifying with D．reflecting on 32．A．connection B．priority C．presence D．privacy 33．A．in parallel to B．as opposed to C．on behalf of D．in honor of 34．A．scarcely B．effortlessly C．approximately D．inevitably 35．A．grave B．distinct C．exceptional D．progressive四、阅读理解First, I must get settled into school. My classes begin today at the PRIVET! Russian Academy of Language Studies, where I will be attending class five days a week, four hours a day.I know I am such a shameless student. I laid my clothes out last night, just like I did before my first day of first grade, with my patent leather shoes and my new lunch box.The last thing I want is to end up in a Level One class, which would be so humiliating for me. Given that I already took a whole entire semester of Russian at my Night School for Divorced Ladies in New York, and that I spent the summer memorizing flash cards. The thing is, I don’t even know how many levels this school has, but the me re mention of “level” sparks a resolve within me to aim for Level Two—at least.It’s such a hard test! I can’t get through even a tenth of it!In the end, it’s OK, though.So it’s hammering down rain today, but I show up early, wander about the school and smugly walk past all those Level One students (who must be cookies, really) and enter my first class. Here I am with my peers. But it becomes swiftly evident that these are not my peers and that I have no business being here. I feel like I’m swimming, but barely. Like I’m taking in water with every breath. The teacher, a skinny guy (Why are the teachers so skinny here? I don’t trust skinny Russians.), is going way too fast, is skipping over whole chapters of the textbook, saying, “You already know this, you already know that…” and keeping up a rapid-fire conversation with my apparently fluent classmates. My stomach is gripped in horror and I’m gasping for air and praying he won’t call on me. Just as soon as the break comes, I run out of that classroom on wobbling legs and I scurry all the way over to the administrative office almost in tears, where I beg in very clear English if they could please move me down to a Level One class. And so they do. And now I am here.36．What do we know about the writer from the first two paragraphs?A．She is a newly-admitted student majoring in language teaching.B．She has no knowledge of this foreign language and is put to shame.C．She is full of anticipation and readiness for new educational pursuit.D．She attends the same school to build upon prior academic achievements.37．What does the underlined word smugly in paragraph 5 mean?A．arrogantly B．furiously C．secretly D．nobly38．Why does the writer withdraw from Level Two class in the end?A．The teacher singles her out for her inability to converse smoothly in foreign language.B．The age and culture divide leads to an overwhelming sense of alienation with classmates.C．The unexpected discomfort in her stomach prompts a pause in regular learning activities.D．The unthinkable difficulty in catching up with the teaching rhythm destroys confidence. 39．What might be the best title of the passage?A．Well Begun, Half Done.B．An Idle Youth, A Needy Age.C．More Haste, Less Speed.D．No Pain, No Gain.I guess I was a little bored. For the past hour, I’d been on the phone with Daniele, the head of my office in Italy, reviewing our latest purchases of Italian gold, Murano glass and Italian-made shoes and handbags.“Daniele,” I said, “What is the hottest jewelry in Italy right now?” His reply? Woven gold bracelets studded with gems. He texted me some photos and I knew immediately that this was jewelry that Raffinato just had to have.RAFFINATO IS ONE OF AMERICA’S LARGEST RETAILERS OF ITALIAN-MADEJEWELRYPresenting the Italiano Fantasia Bracelets, two designs that are prime examples of Italy’sfinest artisanship.

Although the Georgian structure was praised for its handsome Greek Revival style by Nikolaus Pevsner, an architectural master, it was built for horses, not cars. Repairs will close the bridge for several months, causing bigger jams and more pollution in a city where air quality is already a cause of concern.Bath is an extreme example of a tradeoff faced by much of the country. Britain has the oldest housing stock in Europe, with one in five homes more than 100 years old. Period features are valued and often protected by law. Yet as efforts to cut carbon emissions intensify, they are contradicting attempts to preserve heritage. It is a “delicate balance” says Wera Hobhouse, Bath’s Member of Parliament (议员) “What is the public benefit of dealing with the climate emergency, versus protecting a heritage asset?”Two years ago, Bath was among the first British cities to declare a “climate emergency” when it also promised to go carbon-neutral by 2030. Yet Bath also wants—and is legally required to preserve its heritage. With Roman remains and Georgian streets that spread across the Avon Valley in shades of honey and butter, the city is designated a world heritage site by UNESCO. About 60% of it is further protected by the government as a conservation area, more than 5,000 of Bath’s buildings—nearly 10% of the total—are listed as being of special architectural or historical interest, making it a criminal offence to alter them without permission.Many of the features that make Bath’s Georgian buildings so delicate also make them leaky. Buildings of traditional construction make up 30% of Bath’s housing stock but take up 40% of domestic carbon emissions, according to the Centre for Sustainable Energy, a charity. British homes are rated for energy efficiency on a scale from A to G; most traditional buildings in the city are an F or G.Transport is another area where climate and heritage clash. Bath’s 17th-century streets lack room for bike lanes. Joanna Wright was recently relieved of her role as Bath’s climate chief after proposing that North Road, which leads to the university, should be closed to traffic. In two years she was unable to install any on-street electric-vehicle charging points, partly because of the “nightmare” of getting permission to dig up old pavements.All this means going carbon neutral by 2030 looks hard, but the city is at least beginning to make compromises. In March it launched the first “clean-air zone” outside London, charging drivers to enter central Bath. A trial has made 160 electric motoreycles available to hire. And local opinion seems to be shifting in favour of sustainability. “The discussion has moved dramatically towards considering the climate emergency,” says Ms. Hobhouse.43．What problem does Bath face?A．It is getting more and more crowded due to the maintenance work underway.B．Its housing stock with a long history are being altered without authorization.C．Its historical significance makes it hard to be reformed into an eco-friendly city.D．Its promise to go carbon-neutral by 2030 is greeted with doubt from its citizens. 44．The percentage mentioned in the underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) is intended to _________.A．highlight the long history of Bath’s building complexB．show the low energy efficiency of the historic buildingsC．illustrate the delicate features that Bath’s buildings shareD．challenge the validity and credibility of the A-G scale45．Why was Joanna Wright removed from her position?A．She proposed the North Road not be accessible to the public.B．She failed to solve the conflict between transport and heritage.C．She stood right in the way of the heritage preservation efforts.D．She struggled to get authorized to dig up those old pavements.46．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Wera Hobhouse keeps a balance between public benefit and heritage protection.B．Traditional buildings in Bath are not available to visitors not having permits.C．Bath has been setting the pace for the construction of a carbon-neutral city.D．Local people in Bath used to favor heritage conservation over sustainability.Immersive Art Draws People InWith bold, swirling brushstrokes (绘画技巧) and vivid colors, Vincent van Gogh’s stirring Starry Night brings to life a turbulent (汹涌的) sky. It’s one of the most recognizable paintings in the world. And gazing at the scenic canvas can make museum visitors feel starstruck.But seeing this masterpiece on a gallery wall isn’t the only way art fans can experience its impact 47 . They find themselves surrounded by shimmering colors that dance before their eyes and ripple (涟漪) at their feet. These exhibitions digitally project moving images onto walls, floors, and sometimes onto viewers themselves. They are examples of immersive art.48 . While it can be hard to characterize, it’s generally a multisensory, an interactive event that engages viewers and lets them feel like part of the artwork. One thing is certain — these exhibitions have been wildly popular — selling out tickets in cities worldwide.Van Gogh gained fame only after his death. In fact, the 19th-century painter sold just one painting during his lifetime. But now he is immersive art’s biggest superstar. His work has been showcased in various exhibitions featuring immense images. 49 . One show, Van Gogh Alive, has appeared in 65 countries since 2011. It even features a signature scent for visitors to sniff. Shows of other artists — including Monet, Renoir, and Chagall — have lit up venues, too.The popularity of immersive art has been powered party by social media. As visitors post selfies featuring van Gogh’s art or videos of friends stepping into a fantastical fridge, these experiences draw bigger and bigger crowds. 50 . That’s because many curators and creators share a common goal — to help more people get into art!A．Immersive art doesn’t simply mean sitting in a glass case or fitting in a frame.B．The art work is animated and accompanied by music, voices, and background sound.C．In fact, some exhibits give people a chance to be enveloped by van Gogh’s celebrated painting. D．Meanwhile, traditional museums are following the trend and applying immersive technologies E．Critics once described his work as a multidimensional mystery house leading to secret passages.F．More important is the ability to bridge the gap between traditional art spaces and modern audiences.五、书面表达51．Directions: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.Preventing ResistanceThe development of drug-resistant pathogens (病原体) can be prevented in at least three ways. First, sufficiently high concentrations of the drug can be maintained in a patient’s body for a long enough time to kill all sensitive cells and hold others long enough for the body’s defenses to defeat them. Discontinuing a drug before all of the pathogens have been neutralized promotes the development of resistance. For this reason, it is important that patients finish their entire antimicrobial prescription (抗菌药物) and resist the temptation to “save some for another day.”A second way to prevent resistance is to use antimicrobial agents in combination so that pathogens resistant to one drug will be killed by the second, and vice versa. Additionally, one drug sometimes enhances the effect of a second drug in a process called synergism. Enhanced effect can also result from combining an antimicrobial drug and a chemical.A third way to reduce the development of resistance is to limit the use of antimicrobials to necessary cases. Unfortunately, many antimicrobial agents are used indiscriminately, in both developed countries and in lessdeveloped regions where many are available without a physician’s prescription. In the United States, an estimated 50 percent of prescriptions for antibacterial agents to treat sore throats and 30 percent of prescriptions for ear infections, are inappropriate because the diseases are viral in nature. Likewise, because antibacterial drugs have no effect on cold and flu viruses, 100 percent of antibacterial prescriptions for treating diseases are unnecessary. As discussed previously, the use of antimicrobial agents encourages the reproduction of resistant bacteria by limiting the growth of sensitive cells; therefore, inappropriate use of such drugs increases the likelihood that resistance of bacteria will multiply.In order to maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial treatments, responsible practices must be implemented._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________六、翻译52．你要认识到：如果感觉困难，放平心态，那是因为它真的很难。

AHere are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community dur ing the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts, dances and operas nearby.San FranciscoSan Franci sco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry-point for the Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to getthe full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.Port LouisFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.1．Which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.B．San Francisco’s Chinatown.C．Port Louis’ Chinatown.D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.2．What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A．It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B．It is the major entrance for the Chinese.C．It is well-known for its gold business.D．You can enjoy fireworks there.3．If you want to enjoy the dragon dances, you can go to ________.A．Rue Royale in Port Louis B．Sunday Market in BangkokC．Grant Avenue in San Francisco D．the Chinese community in LondonBIf you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit —right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt’s biodegrading (生物降解) term is similar to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for a longer time, w e can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by itslifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.It’s not a cheap habi t either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping (乱倒垃圾) you will face a ￡20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court will give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules. 4．What does the underlined word “discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Long-lasting.5．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Tin cans. B．Glass bottles.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.6．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Fly-tipping will only cost people some money.B．It’s not so hard to make sure people obey the rules.C．A large number of people were found guilty of illegally littering.D．Every year UK taxpayers spend huge amounts of money to keep the streets from dirt. 7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call for people not to litter illegally.B．To stress the importance of good behavior.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.CPhysical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now canhelp teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.High sch ool isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s study and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.Not doing sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.8．According to paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?A．Making teens attach importance to exercise later.B．Removing the stress faced by teens at school.C．Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.D．Helping teens learn to make good plans.9．What does the underlined word “hindered” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Measured. B．Prevented.C．Shown. D．Caused.10．According to the PCFSN, doing sports ________.A．means making students choose between sports and studiesB．helps students make good use of all their timeC．means students adjust to their studies betterD．helps students do better in their studies11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why high school students should receive physical education.B．Why some schools consider physical education important.C．How schools can help students love doing sports.D．How high school students can live a better life.DIf ther e is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives,like genetic (基因的) engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically fr om Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the p rinted page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.12．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.13．From the passage,we can infer ________.A．newspapers will win the competition among different mediaB．newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC．television will take the place of newspapersD．the writer believes some media will die out14．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “________”.A．depend on B．compete withC．fight with D．kill off15．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspapersD．The Future of Newspapers第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Reading Comprehension （第41-55题，每题1分；第56-70题，每题2分；共45分）Section A (15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Miriam Glassman, a top image consultant, is standing in front of her client, Lucy. 'Can you give me an idea of what you are looking for?' she asks. 'Something cool,' says nine-year-old Lucy. Glassman gets some jackets and marches off to the changing room with Lucy. This is a growing trend and the ___41___ for it are obvious: we encourage our youth to be successful and success, as everyone knows, is partly down to having the right ___42___. But when nine-year-olds hi re image consultants, you have to wonder: could things have gone too far?Some of those caring most about image are ___43___. They know that everything — clothes, posture, voice—influences what people think of you and ___44___ , has to be carefully managed. In the 1960 US presidential debate, those listening on the radio believed that Nixon won, while those watching on TV believed Kennedy was the ___45___. The difference was that Kennedy was wearing make-up but Nixon wasn't, and the viewers were ___46___ by his appearance.Celebrities seek help from wardrobe, hair stylists, make-up artists and more just to manage their profile, and these professionals don't come ___47___. Mari a Moriati, stylist to some of Hollywood's A-listers, is said to be paid $10,000-20,000 a time to choose the clothes for a celebrity on a press tour. She will pack each outfit including detailed ___48___('roll up the sleeves twice and undo the top button of the shirt').It's not just them that need an image boost. The cities, too, try to give themselves the marketing ___49___ of a style makeover. They know that most of the tourists don't have the time to think in detail about where they want to go on holiday and instead ___50___ a few simple preconceptions of what a place is like. Those preconceptions are easy to ___51___ on people with an advertising campaign or a catchy slogan.So, perhaps we should step back from our ___52___ in image and focus on what is important. Ignore the gossip and the websites telling us to manage our online profile and instead depend on ___53___ rather than image to reachdecisions. All these suggestions sound sensible, but are they . ___54___? How much research will we really do before deciding which celebrity we like or where to go on our next holiday?And going back to our image consultant, surely Glassman must have reservations about taking on such young clients? Apparently not. 'I get so many calls from teens,' she says. 'School is a(n) ___55___ place and image is important. Lucy is just taking control of hers.'41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was in seat 10F next to the emergency exit. A few minutes after take-off there was a loud explosion. Everybody gasped（倒抽气）and there were a few screams. Then, surprisingly, it went very quiet–everyone was assessing the situation.It soon became obvious we weren't going back to LaGuardia Airport and that we were heading for the water. I started thinking this was it. Then I heard the announcement, 'This is the captain, brace for impact,' and everything suddenly got clear. I had to stop thinking about death, and instead, about what I should do once the pilot landed in the water. 'You sat in this seat,' I thought, ‘you’ve got to get this door open.'At about 300 feet (91.5 meters), I started reading the instructions. There were six steps, and I had just read them two or three times when we hit the water. It felt like the worst car crash you could imagine. Fortunately, I'd just read the instructions and managed to get the door open. The wing was sinking lower and lower. I walked out onto it and walked as far along as I could to make room for other people. It was freezing, and nobody had a jacket. Some people were underwater to their waists.It felt like half an hour before we saw the first ferry, though it could have been only five or ten minutes. I wasfourth onto the ferry, and I started helping people onto the boat. To our relief, everyone had survived the crash.I got through the whole incident by taking it one step at a time: get the door open, throw the door out, figure out if you're sinking. I just kept on doing that until I reached solid ground. Only then did I go into the men's room and cry for a few minutes.56. After hearing a loud explosion, what did passengers, including the writer, do?A. They put on life jackets as instructed.B. They tried to figure what had happened.C. They couldn't help shouting for help on end.D. They asked the pilot to fly to LaGuardia Airport.57. What did the writer think helped him open the emergency exit successfully?A. He sat by the emergency exit.B. He had an experienced neighbor.C. He was once taught how to open it.D. He read and understood the instructions.58. Which of the following words best describes the writer?A. Humorous.B. Aggressive.C. Organized.D. Expressive.59. Which of the following statements is true of the air crash?A. No one got killed in it.B. It happened at the end of the trip.C. The pilot managed to land the plane safely.D. A ferry came to the rescue the moment it happened.(B)City VarietiesThe Headrow. Leeds.

S. spacecraft have successfully landed there, and all of them took microbes to the planet's surface(though the bugs probably did not survive for long). Yet the world's space agencies continue to maintain strict spacecraft sterilization（消毒）procedures in the hope of minimizing the spread of Earth life beyond our planet. For decades this idea —known as planetary protection—is widespread. Now, some scientists say, these procedures are preventing the search for life beyond Earth by raising costs and preventing innovativemissions-without meaningful benefits.Of all missions to Mars to date, only the Vikings, the first trip to the Red Planet, were intended to test for life. Spacecraft that went later did not have that ability. But a future mission will, and the protectionist thinking goes, a spacecraft might not be able to distinguish between a life form native to Mars and one with origins on Earth. In July 2013 astrobiologists Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen argued against this in Nature Geoscience."If Earth life can thrive on Mars, they almost certainly already do," the authors write. "If they cannot, the transfer of Earth life to Mars should be of no concern, as it would simply not survive."With clear evidence of a water y history and some signs of water present, Mars could be where we find life in our solar system. And with the development of Curiosity's precise landing system, we can finally reach the mysterious parts of the planet. But it's these areas that require a craft sterilization process.In the 1970s Vikings 1 and 2 revealed what seemed like a dead planet, so planetary-protection requirements were relaxed. Now, with more knowledge of Mars' environment, missions set to visit areas with evidence of flowing water below the surface have to meet the strict-and more costly- Vikings standards.Finally, there's the philosophical problem of what responsibility, if any, we have to other planets and any life we leave there. The truth is we're never going to be able to fully protect Mars if we intend to explore it. And spreading is simply what life does."If we want to survive for a long time, we have to expand beyond Earth," Schulze-Makuch says. "There's no other way."63. Strict spacecraft sterilization procedures are meant to ______.A. decrease the costs of space explorationB. help the search for life forms beyond EarthC. contribute to innovative missions in the universeD. prevent Earth life being transferred to other planets64. Planetary-protection requirements were relaxed in the 1970s because ______.A. there was no preclse landing systemB. Mars was considered to be a lifeless planetC. the mysterious parts of Mars remained unknownD. flowing water was found below the surface of Mars65. Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Alberto Fairen are most likely to agree that ______A. Mars is now on the edge of being destroyedB. human beings are too ambitious to expand beyond EarthC. there is no need to worry about bringing Earth life to MarsD. we need to be responsible for keeping Mars what it is like now66 Schulze-Makuch takes a(n)______attitude towards planetary protection.A. optimisticB. relaxedC. debatableD. negativeSection C(8分）Directions: 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.Google is my doctorWhen illustrator Scott Adams lost his voice, his doctors were confused. ___67___ It turned out that Scott was suffering from spasmodic dysphonia-a neurological disorder affecting the musoles to voice. With the help of Google Alerts and advice from his doctors, Scott got in touch with an expert in the US and had special surgery on his throat to cure his problem. He is now a from believer of using the Internet for self-diagnosis.Adams is one of an increasing number of people who have started using the Internet to get health advice. The advantages are numerous, starting of course with the obvious convenience of getting a diagnosis from the comfort of your own home. ___68___ But the Internet can provide a vast number of specialized experts, and Googling can help you tap in to that.Diagnosing min or medical problems from information on the Internet can also have an impact on society's medical costs. You can compare insect bites with Internet pictures, ask what type they are and whether they are dangerous without wasting your busy doctor's precious time.However, it must be sand that diagnosis is tricky, and comparing your rash（疹子）with an online photo may lead you down the wrong path. ___69___ Doctors also take into account your medical history, state of mind, etc. So nocomputerized symptoms checklist can equal a complete professional assessment.In conclusion, the Internet is a good starting point in diagnosing your health problems, but you should always consult your doctor before acting on anything you find there. ___70___.IV.

Use your own words as fa r as possible.Will people reduce car use in 20 years?Nowadays, the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one's wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars, we couldn't help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people's daily lives. Nevertheless, the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.Above all, the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment, if such a tendency is not brought under control in time, the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day, thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect, 'which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition, more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource-conserving and environment-friendly society, people ought to reduce the use of cars.In fact, diversified measures are 5eıng taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency continues, the effect will be shown in the near future. For example, to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society, Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days.A number of private cars are prohibited on no-driving-days.Last, the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners' way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses, subways, trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile, advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.V.

Other image-generation tools have been criticized because they tend to show white men when asked for images of entrepreneurs or doctors.Google wanted Gemini to avoid this trap;instead,it fell into another one,depicting George Washington as black.Now attention has moved on to the chatbot’s text responses,which turned out to be just as surprising.Gemini declined to write a job ad for a fossil fuel lobby group(游说团体),because fossil fuels are bad and lobby groups prioritize“the interests of corporations over public well-being”.Asked if Hamas is a terrorist organization,it replied that the conflict in Gaza is“complex”;asked if Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had done more harm than Hitler, it said it was“difficult to say”.You do not have to be a critic to perceive its progressive bias.Inadequate testing may be partly to blame Google lags behind OpenAI,maker of the better-known ChatGPT.As it races to catch up,Google may have taken short cuts.Other chatbots have also had controversial launches Releasing chatbots and letting users uncover their faults,which can be swiftly addressed,lets firms move faster,if they are prepared to endure the potential risks and bad publicity,observes Ethan Mollick,a professor at Wharton Business School.But Gemini has clearly been deliberately adjusted to produce these responses.This raises questions about Google’s culture.Is the firm so financially secure,with vast profits from Internet advertising,that it feels free to try its hand at social engineering?Do some employees think it has not just an opportunity,but a responsibility,to use its reach and power to promote a particular agenda?All eyes are now on Google’s boss.Sundar Pichai.He says Gemini is being fixed. But does Google need fixing too?8．What was the problem of Google Gemini in the first paragraph?A．Having a racial prejudice.B．Responding to wrong texts.C．Criticizing political figures.D．Going against historical facts.9．What is Paragraph2mainly about?A．Gemini’s bias in text responses.B．Gemini’s refusal to make progress.C．Gemini’s failure to give definite answers.D．Gemini’s avoidance of political conflicts.10．What does Ethan Mollick think of Gemini’s early launch?A．Creative.B．Promising.C．Illegal.D．Controversial.11．What can we infer about Google from the last paragraph:A．Its security is doubted.B．It lacks financial support.C．It needs further improvement.D．Its employees are irresponsible.As awareness of climate change grows,so does the desire to do something about it.One way to gain a quantifiable (可量化的)understanding of the impacts of our actions,for good and bad,is through what is known as a carbon footprint.While the concept is gaining traction,it is not always fully understood.According to Mike Berners-Lee,a professor at Lancaster University in the UK and author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything,a carbon footprint is“the sum total of all the greenhouse gas emissions that had to take place in order for a product to be produced or for an activity to take place.”What steps a person can take to reduce their personal footprint depends on the kind of lifestyle they presently live, and the same actions are not equally effective for everyone.Berners-Lee notes that,“for some people,flying may be10 percent of their footprint,for some people it’s zero,and for some it’s such a huge number that it should be the only thing they should be thinking about.”It isn’t easy to calculate a carbon footprint.The earliest such calculator is thought to have appeared in2004as part of the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP,which makes observers criticize the pressure to reduce personal carbon footprints as an indication that climate change is not the fault of an oil giant,but that of individuals.“I would say personal carbon footprint calculators are a useful tool to assess the impact of your immediate actions.”Berners-Lee says.“But what’s much more important than your personal carbon footprint is your climate shadow,which aims to paint a picture of the full sum of one’s choices and the impact they have on the planet.For example,how you vote,where you work,how you invest your money,and how much you talk about climate change.”12．What does the underlined word“traction”in paragraph1probably mean?A．Control.B．Insight.C．Attention.D．Power.13．How does Berners-Lee explain his opinion according to paragraph3?A．By presenting a fact.B．By giving suggestions.C．By clarifying a concept.D．By making a comparison.14．What is the observers’attitude to the“Beyond Petroleum”campaign of oil giant BP?A．Unclear.B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.D．Disapproving.15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Tools are more important than choices.B．Climate shadow covers a broad range of actions.C．Calculating carbon footprint is the most effective.D．Only individuals are responsible for climate change.For decades,doctors have warned patients that too much salt can be bad for the heart.Heart attack has long been considered a grown-up problem.16Eating too much salty food when you're young can lead to health problems later.Salt is made up of two elements:sodium and chlorine伟内禾口氯）.Dietary guidelines recommend that adults and kids aged9-13shouldn't consume more than about a teaspoon of sodium daily.17This worries doctors because too much sodium results in the body producing more blood.To pump the extra blood,the heart has to work harder.This causes a rise in blood pressure一-a measurement of how stressed the heart is.High blood pressure often leads to heart disease.A kid with high blood pressure is more likely to become a grown-up with high blood pressure.18British researchers recently found that kids who eat less salt also drink fewer sugary soft drinks. Drinking fewer fizzy（碳酸）drinks makes kids less likely to gain weight,become obese and develop high blood pressure.19A recent study found that a growing number of kids in the US are suffering from kidney stones（肾结石）.This painful condition usually affects people aged over40.Now,kids as young as five are getting it.Cutting down on salt can be hard,but you can retrain yourself to prefer less salty food.The best way to reduce the amount of sodium you eat is to make changes gradually.20Switch to fresh foods instead of canned and bottled versions.And go easy on the condiments（调味品）.You might also want to start reading nutrition labels.You may be surprised to learn that there are1,150mg of sodium in a double cheeseburger,and over2,000mg in many frozen meals.A．Salt isn't the only cause of diseases.B．The average American eats twice this amount.C．Salt can affect more than just your heart and weight.D．Reducing salt might also help stop childhood obesity.E．But new research suggests that salt is starting to affect children.F．Start by adding half as much salt to your dinner as you normally do.G．Cutting down on salt now can lower a person's risk of heart disease.二、完形填空History has not yet21what we will definitively call the post millennial cohort(2000年后出生的人)that now22more than60million people in the U.S.These kids and23with no concept of life24 the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the ghost of terrorism.They’ve also been25the Plurals for their historic diversity,as well as the Founders,at least by MTV.Whatever we26naming them,marketer and academies are turning their attention to this group,which has billions in27and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up“totally and utterly connected”says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’Google-inspired expectations that everything be28.They worry about their inability to29 even five seconds of boredom.And they worry about the demands that come with30several identities online, from Facebook to Twitter to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people,who are still31their identities,to present this crystallized,idealized identity online,”says the University of Washington’s Katie Davis.Historian Neil Howe sees32with the Silent Generation,the spoilt risk-avoiding“nice”generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World-War II,although some marked differences are found.Today’s youths are also coming of age among geopolitical trouble and fears about the economy,he says,33schools emphasize an intense far-reaching sensitivity to other kids.He suspects this34will be known for being well behaved and perhaps boring the culture by playing it safe.“There are typical examples that occur repeatedly,”Howe says, "even if they go by different35.”21．A．remarked B．convinced C．revealed D．guaranteed22．A．numbers B．houses C．accommodates D．contains23．A．peers B．fellows C．folks D．adolescents24．A．over B．without C．besides D．beyond25．A．diagnosed B．dismissed C．labeled D．coined26．A．end up B．consider about C．appeal for D．approve of27．A．distribution force B．global view C．purchasing power D．unique outlooks 28．A．vivid B．instructive C．profitable D．instant29．A．feed up with B．put up with C．make up for D．break up with30．A．mixing B．revising C．illustrating D．maintaining 31．A．supervising B．promoting C．representing D．forming32．A．parallels B．contrasts C．comparisons D．reservations33．A．because B．as C．while D．unless34．A．generation B．emphasis C．intensity D．cultivation35．A．routes B．schemes C．names D．definitions三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.After coming to China,I experienced authentic Chinese food.In Beijing,the chef in a Sichuan restaurant offered us the36(please)of experiencing wonderful and different food besides friendship.In Xinjiang,their traditional foods are those37(cook)over an open fire.The kinds of food local people consume tell us a lot about themselves;therefore,we can say culture and cuisine go hand in hand,which are both worth38(experience).阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.For first-degree burns,first,place burns under cool running water,especially within the first ten minutes.Second, dry the burnt area39(gentle)with a clean cloth.Meanwhile,remove any clothes using scissors if necessary, unless you see the fabric40(stick)to the burnt skin.Then cover the burnt area with a loose clean cloth.Don’t apply oil41the injured areas,as it will keep the heat in the42(wound)and may cause infection.阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast.They flew to Vancouver and then took the train.One of the first stops was in Edmonton,43center of Canada’s huge oil and gas44(drill)industry.After another day on the train,eventually they were back in the city of Winnipeg.
