AYuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐）. For starters, there isn't an actual buffet to fill your plate. I nstead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPa ds which they can use to order up to five small dishes every t en minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minut es, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔) allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are an d order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believes, “our eyes are bigger than our stomach”, so not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents people from ordering more food than they can actual ly eat.But Luan Guoyu's most effective way of fighting food waste, a nd the onethat has attracted media attention, is his €1 ($1.15) fine for fo od still left on the plate. “It’s called ‘ all-you-can-eat’” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to inc rease his income, but to act as a warning against wasting foo d.Luan Guoyu's system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany. Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging custom er, the same € 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2 013.With so many people living on the edge of their nations, an d food waste becoming a serious problem in developed count ries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start ca rrying out the “eat up or pay up” policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so it's a win for everyone.21. What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Realize.C. Judge.D. Compare.22. What will Luan Guoyu do when people can’t finish the food on their plates?A. He will charge them extra money.B. He will advise them to eat up the food.C. He will ask them to take the food away.D. He will warn them to order less food next time.23. What is the text mainly about?A. Various German restaurants.B. The seriousness of food waste.C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.D. Special ways to fight food waste.24. What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy ?A. Unfair.B. Funny.C. Reasonable.D. Doubtful.BI had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at St. A nne's College of Further Education. In celebration of this newbeginning, I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothin g.Like many young people my age, I was under the impression t hat the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be se en in public. But for my first day as a student I had made an ef fort to look what my mother called ‘respectable’.There were fifteen of us, sitting in the theatre hall, while the h ead of the drama department, Mr. Wilson, gave us a warm we lcoming speech. To my horror (恐惧), he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a dra ma course. I had no idea what I would say. The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing, I was painfully sh y.My worry grew as it came closer to my turn. One by one, the new students excitedly explained their reasons. Then it was th e turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment be cause I was too busy thinking about what I would say. ‘My na me’s Tracy and I'm from Blackburn’, she said, and then added no further information.Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力). I relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying solittle about yourself. It gave me confidence.After Mr. Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch , I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy. She looked very unfriendly. Taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. To my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright, sweet smile. That was twenty-seven years ago, and although we never did become famous stars, we're still best friends.25. Why did the author dress nicely for her first day at college ?A. She felt a need to dress properly.B. She wanted to fit in with the other students.C. She was under pressure from her mother.D. She wanted to look like a great star.26 . Why did the author feel nervous? .A. Because she had never spoken in publicB. Because it was her turn to start firstC. Because she didn't know what to talk aboutD. Because the other students were so excited27. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 5 refer to ?A. Tracy also seemed extremely worried.B. Tracy hadn' t said very much.C. The other students reacted politely to Tracy.D. All atten tion was on Tracy.CIn an effort to discourage people from using plastics, scientist s have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging pro ducts.The idea of using seaweed（海草） to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recen tly, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.The eatable water container is not the only product to add to o ur image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapa ty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to hi s menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic was te, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world,It is a product that may take up t0 500 years to break down, a nd recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with i t.Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to bu y. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be m ade at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipe s?28. Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?A. To make people's life more convenient.B. To show off th eir inventive talents.C. To change the way we picnic outside.D. To reduce the amount of plastic waste.29. What makes Art Jonsson's water bottles eco-friendly?A. They can be made at home.B. They are cheap to produce and buy.C. They will hold their shape when they are filled.D. They will break down themselves when empty.30. What do Ari and Narayana's inventions have in common?A. They are convenient to carry.B. They are safe to eat.C. They can be used for a short time.D. They are heavier than plastics.31. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular.B. Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near f uture.C. No recycling companies can break down plastic waste.D. It's unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home. DTwo men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a lon g journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other wa s a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farme r said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked. “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “you star.”“Let’s ma ke the rules first,” the businessman said. “That’s not fair.

第Ⅰ卷( 共85分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,共40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,共30分.)AMobile phones are in the hands of many kids and teenagers . However ,are they really necessary at school? Here are the pr os and cons(赞成和反对的理由).PROSThey can get in touch when necessary . The main benefit of h aving a phone is that your child can get in touch with you whe never they need to . This allows you to feel they are safe. They can ring the emergency services if necessary. If your chi ld is in immediate danger, they can use their phone to call not only you but the emergency services. This is of great benefit a nd could potentially save your child’s life.Mobile phones can be turned off or on to silent. As long as yo ur child remembers to do this their phone won’t cause a distra ction(分心) in class, but they will have a way to contact you if they nee d to. Giving them a standard rather than a smartphone will als o reduce the risk of distraction.CONSThe latest smartphones can almost double as a computer . It means they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they us ed to. Nowadays, children can not only text and make calls wi th their mobiles, they can also play games, surf the Internet a nd listen to music. All these features could disturb your child’s concentration if they play with them in class.It could interrupt lessons. Many children, even though they ar e asked to do so, forget to turn off their phones during lessons and their phones may make sounds. This not only annoys ot her pupils but also prevents them from learning.Besides the distraction problem, access to the Internet can al so be used to look up answers and mobile phones have some other functions---a calculator and the ability to save notes. The possibility of chi ldren having access to this information during exams could be too tempting(诱惑人的)for pupils not to take advantage of. 1. We can infer that many parents give their kids phones main ly to_____.A. enrich their school lifeB. make sure they are safeC. improve their performance at schoolD. help them communicate with friends2 To reduce the risk of distraction from phones, which sugges tion is given?A. Parents shouldn’t contact their children in class.B.There should be enough public phones in school.C.Teachers ask students to turn off their phones in class.D.Children use ordinary phones instead of smartphones.3. According to the last paragraph, for students, using mobile phones at school_____.A. has many advantagesB. helps them take notesC. makes cheating easierD. inspires their exploration spiritBFifty-two endangered sea turtles were brought back to good health and returned to the wild earlier this month. Teams of research ers drove the turtles all the way from Massachusetts to Florid a, where they were put back into the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.The turtles’ story began last fall, when a large number of them got stuck near Cape Cod in . These tough turtles had to be n ursed back to good health for about six months before they co uld swim in the sea again.Sea turtles generally live south of the Carolinas in the Atlantic Ocean. But during the summer months, they take a ride on th e Gulf Stream-----a strong ocean current of warm water that runs north along th e east coast. The Gulf Stream brings the turtles plenty of tasty food to eat.When summer turns to fall, sea turtles head south again as th e water turns colder. That’s because sea turtles are cold-blooded. That means they cannot produce their own body hea t. They need the seawater to provide them with heat.Some turtles don’t get to warmer waters fast enough. When th e waters of the northern Atlantic turn cold in the fall, many turtl es can’t stand the cold. They can not move and become unab le to find their way. The turtles can drift only where the wind a nd tides take them.Many of these turtles are washed up on the shore near Cape Cod. Last year , 242turtles were rescued there.Scientists are unsure why so many needed to be helped. The turtles spent the winter getting better at aquariums along the east coast.As the weather grew warmer, 52 turtles were ready to return t o their natural habitat. It was a great success for the turtles an d the people who nursed them back to health.“It’s an exciting day for all these organizations,” said Connie Merigo of the New England Aquarium.“This is what we work f or. These are endangered species. So every turtle that gets b ack out in the wild and has a potential to contribute to the pop ulation is really important.”4.How do the sea turtles come to the northern Atlantic?A. They are carried there by a strong ocean current.B.Some researchers attract them there to do a study .C.Some fishermen bring them there and set them free.D.They are washed up there by a stream of cold water.5.Sea turtles head south when ____.A. they are tiredB. the temperature dropsC. they have had enough foodD. there is no tasty food for them6.Why are some turtles in need of help?A.They are starving.B.They are freezing.C.They are hurt by other animals.D.They are suffering from a disease.7. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragra ph refer to?A. The turtles are shown to the public.B.The turtles are studied by scientists.C.Some turtles are returning to the wild.D.Some turtles will be kept in the aquariumCDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen be cause they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical scho ol. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a bette r surgeon(外科医生). I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组管理资源),or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that cre w members should listen and speak up for a good result, rega rdless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that , an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller ha d us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doct or was flying ; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of t he bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear(起落架) down. He was a better pilot--and my boss ---so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in d anger. I put aside my uneasiness and said,“We need to put th e landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I have used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot\surgeon encourage others to sp eak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opp osite, the doctor does not overreact, which might prevent fello w doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the ope rating room,I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes t hey are not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landi ng gear up”.8.What does the author say about doctors in general?A.They are unwilling to take advice.B.They like flying by the mselves.C.They pretend to be good pilots.D.They are quick learne rs of CRM.9.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CR M when____.A.his boss operated on a patientB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. he saved the plane by speaking up10. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means__ _____.A. following flying requirementsB. making a mistake that may cost livesC.overreacting to difference opinionsD.listening to what fell ow doctors say11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying SafeB.Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC.The Making of a Good pilotD. A Pilot--Turned DoctorDJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to att end a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he w as supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly k icking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wron g with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand . When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said ther e was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need, a nd he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said,“We ll, I could take you to the office for your interview. It is the leas t I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting t o be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease(油迹) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applic ants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on the ir faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitti ng on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked,“Do you really need to be interviewe d?”Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turn ed out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I mad e the right decision to have you as part of our workforce befor e you even stepped in this office. I just know you would be a tr ustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well--deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.12.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?He was bored with his job.

fit them？They're also really good cooks．Today，Joe，the one on the right，made me spaghetti （意大利面条） for lunch．"What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important．Where I saw

2016-2017学年高一英语下学期期中试题（含解析）（考试时间120分钟，分值150分）II. GrammarDirection: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For t he blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper f orm of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Merriam-Webster defines a princess as a “member of a royal family”,“t he wife of a prince” or “usually an attractive girl or woman who 21_________(treat) with special atten tion”.Nowhere in that traditional definition 22________ the words “s punk”,“drive” or “determination” appear. And yet the latest W alt Disney animation Moana seems determined to redefine 23 _________a princess is all about.In Moana, Disney’s latest movie provides a positive spin on th e princess spirit. The CG (Computer Graphics) -animated musical film follows 24________adventures of the he adstrong teenage daughter of a Pacific Island chief and her st ruggles to find her identity.25_________ the daughter of Chief Tui, Moana is expected to follow her village’s traditions and rules, including the one her f ather 26_________(emphasize) since she was an infant: “Don’t go beyond the reef.”Unfortunately for Moana – 27_________name just happens to be the word for “ocean” in many Polynesian languages – she i s drawn to the water, which she finds wondrous and exciting. When the food supply for the island suddenly becomes deplet ed, Moana sets forth on a journey inspired by *ancestral tales of once-mighty *demigod Maui who may help her save her island hom e.The story, 28_________(inspire) by the history and tradition s of the Pacific, is a breath of fresh ocean air for everyone exh austed by the too-familiar princess-on-a-mission Disney trope. From birth, Moana is a respected part o f her community, and her parents and grandmother are proud of who she is and the fact 29________ she will one day make a fantastic chief, just like her father and his father before him. There is no love interest for Moana – she doesn’t need one.More importantly, 30________ mothers and fathers tell their da ughters what it means to be a princess, the words “adventuro us,”“*tenacious” and “compassionate” can now be added to t he definition.(B)The “space race” took place between the United States and th e former Soviet Union. Both countries competed to see which would be the first 31__________ (land) a person on the Moon. Early space ventures were limited to satellites that orbited the planet Earth. The Soviets launched the world’s first satellite o n October 4, 1957; Sputnik I orbited Earth more than a thousa nd times 32_________ it plunged back into the planet’s atmos phere and burned up. The United States’ first satellite was Ex plorer 1, launched the following January.In 1959, both the United States and the Soviet Union succeed ed in achieving their goal of sending spacecraft called probes beyond Earth’s gravitational pull. The Soviet Luna 1, Launche d on January 2, passed the Moon and 33_________(continue) through space. Two months later, the United States launched Pioneer 4, which followed the same path as Luna.34________ _eventually entered orbit around the Sun.The first person in space was Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. He orbited Earth in Vostok 1 on April 12, 1961. 35__________(catch) up with Soviet Union in the race, the United States se nt Alan Shepard into space in Freedom 7 on May 5, 1961. Th e following February, John Glenn became the first American t o orbit Earth.Over the next seven years, both the Americans and the Sovie ts sent many astronauts into space. The most famous was U. S. astronaut Neil Armstrong. 36_________, on July 20, 1969, b ecause the first human to set foot on the Moon. The United St ates Apollo program lasted 37. __________ 1972; its missions carried out extensive research of the lunar surface and even b rought back samples of moon rocks.Also, in the history of space exploration men and women hav e been seen living on space stations, As for the U.S., 38_____ ___ (send) the first such station into space in Soviet Union in 1971 made it eager to have its own. Then, the first U.S. space station, skylab, 39.________(launch) in May 1973 and orbited for six years. Since the 1960s, both countries also have sent s pacecraft to explore almost all the planets in the solar system. Atmospheric probes, surface landings, and flybys (近天体探测飞行) have produced photographs if and information about the s urfaces, moons, and atmospheres of many planets. However, 40__________(not set) foot on any other planet before, astronauts as well as scientists are still devoted to space programs.III.

However, the prize wasn’t give n for his 2004 self-penned autobiography but “for having created new poetic exp ressions within the great American song tradition.”It is certainly a(n) 42________choice. According to Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, arts awards have almost always exclusively had an inherent bias toward so-called “high culture”, a category 43________ not to include pe ople who got their start singing in coffeehouses.With that said, the Swedish Academy has made a bold 44___ _____ to expand the definition of “literature”. It has, effect, ope ned the doors to popular culture, often 45_______ to as “low c ulture”.We live in a world where people who read comic books, watc h television shows, listen to podcasts and pop music, are ofte n also those who enjoy poetry and opera. And the Nobel, in 4 6 __________ Dylan’s work as literature, acknowledges that ar tists create works of popular culture with just as much care, c ontrol, courage and 47________ as Ernest Hemingway did sitti ng down at his typewriter.Dylan experts can battle over whether or not the singer indee d writes poetry- he was given the prize for his lyrics and music .If music and lyrics count as literature, as plays have done, co uld not other forms? Could we, someday, see a Nobel in litera ture go to US TV producers David Simon, Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, or even US singer Beyonce?As Los Angeles Times pop music 48________ Robert Hilburnsaid about Dylan’s work: “He’s great cultural figure because of his words and his ideas.”And for all the flash and bang of any performed art or filmed project, it’s the words that 49 _________, wrote Carolyn Kellog g of the Los Angeles Times.American TV series Breaking Bad (2008-2013) didn’t exist without US actor Bryan Cranston’s brilliant p erformance--but he couldn't have gotten there without the words on the pa ge.Dylan’s Nobel says that words don't have to be bound within 50. ________ to be literature. It’s possible the Swedish Acade my will back off its radical choice. But for now, literature is all around us. Read it, listen to it or watch it.(B)A. fertilizationB. restoredC. surfaceD. contained AB. gr owth AC. bearsAD. extinct BC. waste BD. float CD. determines ABC. c onsistsMost plants reproduce by forming seeds. Flowering plants us ually produce seeds that are 51. __________ in fruits. The scie ntific name for such a plan is angiosperm (被子植物). The fruit covering makes seeds more likely to be scattere d over a wide area by animals, wind, or water. A plant that gro ws in many area is less likely to become 52. ________ than on e that grows in only one area. The fruit of an angiosperm is no t necessarily something that people can eat. In this case, the word fruit simply refers to the mass of plant tissue that surrou nds the send. Some angiosperm fruits are actually poisonous. Angiosperms depend on male and female flower parts to prod uce their seeds and fruits. At the center of the flower is the pis til, a female part that 53________ of a long column with a roun d base called an ovary (子房). Inside the ovary are the tiny ovules (胚珠) that become seeds if they are fertilized. 54__________occ urs when pollen from a stamen, a male flower parts, joins the ovule inside the ovary. Pollen that reaches the tip of the pistil grows a long tube down into the ovary. Once pollen joins the ovule inside the ovary, a seed begins to form, the ovary beco mes fruits, and the other flower parts wither and die.The form of a fruit 55__________ the manner in which seeds a re scattered. For example, birds and other animals may eat s oft, fleshy fruits, such as berries. These animals deposit the s eeds in their 56_________, usually far from the parent plants. Some hard-shelled fruits that 57________- such as coconuts- are carried by water to faraway regions. Some other types of fruits rely on the wind to scatter their seeds. The milkweed 58. _________ f ruit in the form of dry seedpods that grow until they burst. Onc e the seedpods burst, hundreds of seeds, each attached to m any light, silken threads, are carried off by the wind.No matter how much angiosperm fruits and seeds may differ, each seed contains the same blueprint for 59. ________. Unde r the right conditions, the tiny embryo within the seed grows in to a new plant. The embryo is made up of a root, a shoot, and one or two seed-leaves called cotyledons (子叶), which provide food for the sprouting plant. As the seed sp outs, the root anchors the seeding in the earth, and the shoot grows up through the soil. As soon as the seeding penetrates the soil’s 60. _________, it begins to grow its first true leaves.IV.

Reading ComprehensionSection A.Directions: Read the following four passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given i n the passage you have just read.(A)As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many villag e communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the po wer-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in confl ict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output can not match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporte rs insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclea r and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting E U ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official repo rt on wind farms" impact on the countryside becomes even m ore extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report , and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidenc e that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surp rise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaini ng why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place t o produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics ofcoalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information shoul d be available so that people can reach their own conclusions , rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.76. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.A．energy policy catches much attention of the publicB．the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC．many village communities are satisfied with the s ubsidiesD．the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents77. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____. A．is more rapid than that of carbon-based power B．guarantees an increase in energy outputC．is expected to be much better than that of nuclearpowerD．agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation78. It can be inferred from the passage that____. A．an official report will settle the energy problemB．the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC．the two parties have agreed on a further negotiati onD．political beliefs concerning energy issue go again st facts79. Which of the following reflects the author’s opinion? A．Increase political impact on energy policy.B．Release a statement of supporters on wind farms .C．Let the nation judge the facts about wind power. D．Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusi ons.(B)HOLIDAY FUN AT THE FOWERHOUSE500 HARRIS STREET ULTIMO TELEPHONE (02)9270111 Join in the holiday fun at the powerhouse this month linked to our new exhibition, Evolution & Revolution: Chinese dress 17 00s to now.

Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different ba ckgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gen der, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.As a result, companies are looking for individuals who can ma nage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly, ma nagers are discovering that age differences among workers ar e a major cause of concern.This has been an important realization. The management diffi culties and challenges have led some experts to study interge nerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies t hat employ individuals from different generations.The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinio n about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. That is, it is not an accident that young em ployees will be different from older employees. In fact, if empl oyers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible t hat anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties i n the company.Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even last ing enmity if people are not careful. That individuals from diffe rent generations should come to view each other as if they we re from different sides of warring countries should not be surp rising.It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form al liances (联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations repr esent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to wor k.If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were rea dily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe th at prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, y ou were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be care ful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. Yo u would make angry people who seem to believe that problem s will always solve themselves. Such optimism in the face of d ifficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.84. What most possibly makes it difficult to organize or run a c ompany?A. Employees are in different generations.B. Employees are of different backgrounds.C. Employees work in different styles.D. Employees are in different races.85. Employers should pay attention to ______ if they want to a void anger between employees.A. the different understanding of problems in the workplaceB. the different views on value of work and working methodsC. the different generations of employees in the workplaceD. the different ways of expressing anger in the company86. The word “enmity” is closet in meaning to ______.A. hatredB. sorrowsC. ignoranceD. forgiveness87. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?A. Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each ot her.B. It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendl y way.C. The weakness of human nature causes the anger betweenemployees.D. The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.(D)Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). Durin g its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some det ails of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mentio n of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, t he government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working cla ss, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution.The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this pi cture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles ma y have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feedin g the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789.Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mentio n that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king’s troops. Dickens does include some accurate details, h owever, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. T he scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd deta il, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effor t as they watched the killing machine at work.Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced peopl e into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give rea ders some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted abou t a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 th ousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thou sand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were memb ers of the ministry or nobility.8 8 .What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 mos t probably mean?A. Discussed.B. Revealed.C. Provided.D. Twisted.8 9 .Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers.B. The nobles’ mistreating and killing people is the main cause of the revolution.C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in th e course of the Rule of Terror.D. Women were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed.9.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dickens was once among the revolutionaries sto rming the Bastille.B. There was an extreme disorder and horror durin g the revolution.C. Nobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilities.D. Classic literary works may serve as history textb ooks to a great degree.9 1 .Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Collapse of the French EmpireB.

For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film.C.

We should weigh the choices of opportunities, learning to g ive up for better ones and obtaining what we want besides pro fits.AB. For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment –in order to take it up.AC. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that –we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.。

They order clothes and they don‟t fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtua l (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, …The color is wrong‟ or …I got t he right size but it still does not fit.‟ We want to make it like you‟re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image(影像) into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong‟s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper‟s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important t o men.”5. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadv antage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. Clothes bought online may not fit.6. Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners‟ complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player7. Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting imagesB. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanningC. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanningD. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothes8. What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A. It is perfectly developed.B. It will have its market share(占有率).C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player.CMy parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families（大家庭）regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpa‟s” house or going over to “grandma‟s” for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when Day I came, the entire family would pile into the car at four o‟clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscapes （风景）changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.Every trip to see my grandparents can‟t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons‟ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world‟s largest hamburger.9. T he family don‟t visit the grandparents often because _________.A. they live far away from each otherB. they seldom have a vacationC. they are all busy with their workD. they have a bad attitude to them10. Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they ________.A. shared cooking skills with each otherB. found they were in a foreign worldC. were all full of great excitementD. seemed not to be familiar with each other11. What can we infer f rom the author‟s story？A. Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.B. Physical separation (实际的分离) hurts the heart deeply.C. Distance can‟t break the bond (纽带) of love.D. Family life is filled with love and understanding.DVacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, it’s good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well. “The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized(有活力的),” says Weaver. “If they haven’t had a break, then they‟re not coming back with new energy. They haven‟t had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and come back with renewed enthusiasm(热情).”Long working hours without a break, insecurity（不安）about one’s job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time.“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they‟re there,” says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees‟ productivity, creativity, and effectiveness.In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employee’s pocketbook. Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems. If they’re always at work, then they’re not with their family and friends. If they’re working while on vacation, for the time that they’re on the job, they’re not really present.An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up forair, you may see that you’re alone, or that your r elationships have gone on without you.12. The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.A. the vacationB. the universityC. the companyD. the home13. What‟s the main benefit of a vacation?A. The worker can step back and get more excitedB. The worker can come back with new energy.C. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.D. The manager can be more creative.14. When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more__________ .A. activeB. energeticC. skillfulD. absent-minded15. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Why the workers need new energy.B. How to deal with the daily pressure.C. How to spend the vacation effectively.D. Why the workers need a vacation.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。

Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks fo r their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is c elebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harve st. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed n ear what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and th anked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harv est. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachus etts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their s pecial feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years bef ore there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuade d Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed （宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.

They have been handed down thro ugh generations (代) among groups, social classes, etc. Customs can be described as ways of doing t hings. They are particularly (特别) strong in social practices on the occasions (场合) of births, marriages and deaths.In China, these days, some people in cities are learning from Western customs. For example, some brides dress in the long white dress that is usual bridal wear in many Western countri es.Every people (民族) has special customs for New Year. The Han people have many interesting Spring Festival customs. And now, quite a number of people living in the cities have followed the Western customs of sending New Year greeting cards for January 1st.

So she called him back and gave him a dollar. T he beggar took the money, put it into his pocket, and thanked her a great deal. “You have saved me from a terrible fate,” he said.
