In a science magazine..BWhether in the home or the workplace,social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way,said Cynthia Breazeal,chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework,social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example,these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot,arranged to ship later this year,is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot,ask it questions and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions;it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store,which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans,the more it learns.But Oshbot,like other social robots,is not intended to replace workers,but to work alongside other employ ees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us,but with us,”said Breazeal.56.How are social robots different from household robots?A.They can control their emotions.B.They are more like humans.C.They do the normal housework.D.They respond to users more slowly.57.What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?municate with you and perform operations.B.Answer your questions and make requests.C.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D.Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.58.What can Oshbot work as?A.A language teacher.B.A tour guide.C.A shop assistant.D.A private nurse.59.We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will .A.train employeesB.be our workmatesC.improve technologiesD.take the place of workers60.What does the passage mainly present?A.A new design idea of household robots.B.Marketing strategies for social robots.rmation on household robots.D.An introduction to social robots.CA Language Programme for TeenagersWelcome to Teenagers Abroad!

At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,”he wrote in his letter back,“and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn’t having it made;it’s getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It’s the journey,not the arrival,that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request:“Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:“Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end.”Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.66.Wh at was the author’s grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)_________________________________________________________________67.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________68.What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________69.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________70.Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?Give reasons in your own words.(no more than 20 words)_________________________________________________________________六:书面表达(满分20分)假设你是新华中学的学生李华,你校英语协会正在招募志愿者,来接待来访的外国中学生。

Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is 37 into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.The United Kingdom is that 38 of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 39 of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 40 of Ireland is self-governing. The 41 name of the United Kingdom is 42 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.43 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest 44 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 45 “England” and “English” when they 46 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 47 . The Scots in particular are very 48 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 49 as English, and have a culture and even a 50 of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 51 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 52 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 53 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 54 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦).

In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded the most discipline (纪律) from their students.I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very clearly a sign on her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory : in this room the first five letters of the word was stressed not the last seven.” In other words, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and told us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit the students.56. Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?A. A patient teacher.B. An honest teacher.C. A strict teacher.D. An easy – going teacher.57. The teacher put up the sign on her classroom door .A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratoryB. to advise the students to follow the disciplinesC. to warn the students not to be carelessD. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom58. What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.B. It does good to the students in the long run.C. It’s too much for youn g children.D. It does more harm than good to the students.59. What’s the Chinese for the underlined word “oratory”?A. 演讲B. 讲稿C. 访谈D. 采访BIn the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away from the home. Since the man earned the money, they paid the bills. The money was used for food, -clothes, the house, and other family needs, the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes, and did other housework. Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples continues to have a traditional relationship of the kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cared for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with the kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man takes care of them some of the time, all of the time or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children, or she may vant to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and responsibilities of their families.60. Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage ?A. Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B. The woman made most of decisions.C. The woman stayed at home to care the children.D. The man paid the bills.61.

I wish you enough, too, Dad.” They kissed and she left.He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude ( 打扰) on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”“Yes, I have,” I replied. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is, the next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼),” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone.”He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, and then he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain(使……持续)them,” he continued and th en turning toward me he shared the following:“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”Then he walked away.I WISH YOU ENOUGH! 64.The father was at the airport to ________.A.welcome his daughter home.

But his positive (积极的) attitude toward life has given hope to many people.Born in 1911 to a poor family in a small town in Illinois, his father was a failed salesman who drank too much. It was in these difficult times, though, that Reagan developed the powerful optimism (乐观) that would serve him so well. He always believed better times laying ahead, and this was reflected in his high school yearbook entry. "Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music," he wrote.As a teenager, Reagan spent summers working as a lifeguard at a local beach, saving 77 lives in seven years. He graduated from college in 1932 with a degree in economics and sociology. But America was still in the middle of the Great Depression (经济大萧条), and jobs were hard to find. Reagan finally found work as a radio sports announcer and this road led him to Hollywood in 1937. During the 20 year film career, he never became a leading star. As in his lifeguard days, Reagan loved to play the hero and only took the role of a bad guy once in more than 50 films.A talented speaker who was always able to connect with his audience, Reagan became involved in (参与) politics in the 1950s. This popular touch led to him being elected the governor of California in 1967.All the while Reagan was in California, he had his eye on the White House. In 1980, aged 69, he became the oldest man ever elected president.He held office from 1981 to 1989, the first president to serve two complete terms after World War Ⅱ. When he left, aged 77, he held the highest popularity rate of any retiring (离职的) president in US history.He remained positive even when he discovered he had an illness that would destroy him. "I will leave with the greatest love for this country of ours and eternal (永恒的) optimism for its future," he wrote.68. Reagan can be best described as a man with______.A. firmnessB. humourC. optimismD. talent69. Which is the correct order of events described in the passage?a. Reagan fought a losing battle against Alzheimer’s disease.b. Reagan became an actor.c. Reagan worked as a lifeguard.d. Reagan graduated from college.e. Reagan was elected the governor of California.A. a,c,d,e,bB. e,c,d,b,aC. b,a,c,d,eD. c,d,b,e,a70. When the author of Reagan’s biography says "The world was a vast opportunity for him," hereally means that _______.A. Reagan achieved much in his whole lifeB. Reagan could have done much betterC. Reagan did much for America and the worldD. Reagan was a very lucky man第二卷非选择题(共三节满分35 分)第一节:单词拼写(共10 小题,每小题1分,满分10分)根据下列句子所给首字母在横线上写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach of their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly check their social media apps for the latest updates.Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’re unlocked their phone and how many times they’re checked their social media apps,as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notification(通知). Such feature automatically(自动地)silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.5. Who are the target users of Dashboard?A. People who know little about smart phones.B. People who have trouble dealing with stress.C. People who are slow at researching of things online.D. People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smart phones.6. What can Dashboard do?A. Lock the phone at a certain time.B. Limit some apps to certain users.C. Limit the time certain apps can be used.D. Silence app notifications at night.7. The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.A. disappointedB. carefulC. preparedD. creative8. What does the author think of Dashboard?A. It’s not very useful.B. It’s perfectly designed.C. It should include more functions.D. It may be helpful to some people.CThe loud continuous noise of the cars or the sound of a plane can force its way into the deepest forest, yet it’s not only humans that are bothered by the noise.Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has come across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization(发声), like humans. Birds use sound to communicate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.Krause mentions a study of nightingales to clarify what he means. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise pollution standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists state that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, exposing the young to their enemies. One study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals(哺乳动物)too are affected. A recent study showed that nursing caribou responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads(蟾蜍)and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony(同步;同步方式)so that no predator (their enemies) can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toad’s song, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.According to Krause, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it won’t help our lives either.”9. How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?A. They receive less food.B. They can’t sleep at night.C. They are often displaced.D. They can’t hear their mothers.10. What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?A. They might be caught by their predators easilyB. They would stop communicating.C. They would soon regain their rhythm.D. They might be unable to hunt in groups.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife.B. The causes of noise pollution.C. Animals’ reaction to noises.D. The ways animals communicate with each other.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.12. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The indirect value of school work.13. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably____.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. a good way to earn extra moneyC. useful for his future workD. a good way to find out his weak points14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. History.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. Mathematics.15. The whole passage focuses on____.A. developing one’s abilities useful in school workB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one’s strong and weak pointsD. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in七选五(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。
高二上学期英语第一次月考英语试卷一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)1. 阅读理解In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression inother animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that myweakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people holddoors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I havediscovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, butsometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I seedaily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possibleto avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only whenwe stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show t he kindnessthat’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I beganto feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatientand angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning or even shouting at me. At that momentI decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I puton the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other driver s,”I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyoneunderstood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get aroundme because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient andangry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave evenwhen we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it wouldbe better if we don’t pretend we feel strong wh en we feel weak or pretend that weare brave when we are scared.(1)The author feels sad sometimes because .A . he has a soft heartB . some people fail to see the kindness in othersC . some people pretend to be kindD . he relies much on others(2)What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A . They waited with patience.B . They speeded up to pass.C . They tried their best to help.D . They put on their flashlights too.(3)Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A . A Wheelchair Experience.B . A Driving ExperienceC . Weakness and StrengthD . Weakness and Kindness.2. 阅读理解I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water,just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, thenfinance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal —that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding.(1)What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A . I was waiting for good fortune.B . I was trying to find an admirable job.C . I was being aimless about a suitable job.D . I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.(2)The author decided to write a novel .A . to finish the writing courseB . to realize her own dreamC . to satisfy readers’ wishD . to earn more money(3)How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A . Disturbed.B . Ashamed.C . Confident.D . Uncertain.(4)What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A . It pays to stick to one’s goal.B . Hard work can lead to success.C . She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D . There is no end in sight when starting to do something.3. 阅读理解Doctors inhospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arriveswith a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance isa medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are commoncauses of accidental poisoning.In cases likethis, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever causedthe poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stopsthe effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim.That way, doctors can examine it.Millions ofpeople know a way to save a person who is choking onsomething trapped in the throat.The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts, which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standingperson. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball.Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other handon top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts untilthe object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat,place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Crossexperts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominalthrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method coulddelay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should beused only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn moreabout first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red CrescentSociety for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.(1)According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?A . A harmful medicineB . A cleaning liquidC . Poisonous insectsD . Dangerous pesticide(2)The underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 2 can be re placed by “ “.A . coming outB . taking upC . going awayD . getting down(3)Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?A . Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue effortsB . Because it is hard to performC . Because it is no need to do soD . Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim(4)What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A . To promote medical researchB . To share some knowledge about first aidC . To show how to perform abdominal thrustsD . To help people deal with accidental poisoning4. 阅读理解GET YOUR DEGREE AT HOME!Have you ever wondered whata Degree might be worth to you in your job or career ?

Now artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for the most glamorous ones. Hollywood has been at a standstill for half the year, until studios agreed on November 8th to offer (21)__________ (strike) stars protection from robotic rivals.Stars may worry that AI is stealing their work and giving less talented performers the skills to snatch their audience. In fact, the famous stars complaining (22)__________ (loud) about the new technology are the ones who benefit the most. (23)__________ __________ reducing star power, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever, by allowing them to be in all markets, in all formats, at all times. Put your hands together - or insert your earplugs if you prefer - for the rise of the omnistar.This is not the first time that technology (24)__________ (change) the rules of the fame game. People began to talk of stars in the 18th century, after the spread of reading made it possible to be truly famous within your lifetime. Film and radio initially seemed like a threat to stars, who worried that their live performances (25)__________ be devalued. In fact, those technologies ushered in (开创) the era of the superstar, a term that caught on in the 1920s.(26)__________ similar panic greeted the invention of television and led to the last big Hollywood strike in 1960. But again, the new tech made the famous even more so, bringing them into every living room.As AI-generated content floods into the entertainment business, it will give the megastars the ability to be truly ubiquitous for their fans. AI-powered dubbing is already allowing actors and podcasters to speak to foreign audiences instantly and in their own voice. It will soon be standard for video to be edited (27)__________ __________ their lips match the new language, too.

The risk is boredom. AI is brilliant at remixing old material, but not as adept at generating novel and the pulse-racing stuff (29)__________ is, for now, a human speciality. Yet the entertainment market is strongly self-correcting. Audiences have the power to turn “a hot property” into a has-been in an instant. And even as Al-powered entertainment grows, consumers still seem to relish human drama. In the AI age, audiences will face heavy exposure to a handful of omnistars, from Taylor Swift to Darth Vader.

This is called “self-enhancement 31 ”, and it gives rise to all sorts of distortions in perception. Famously, back in the 1980s, researchers suggested that up to 80 percent of motorists considered themselves to have above-average driving skills. If you’re a regular driver, you have to know that this cannot be true - even if you persist in believing it about yourself.People also tend to 32 themselves more highly on positive moral traits: the odds are, for example, that they see themselves as industrious, honest, and warm. This is particularly pronounced among young and middle-aged adults, who often rank themselves as excelling beyond the norm on muitiple 33 . One reason for this tendency is that it acts as protection against the mental pain that comes from negative comparisons with others.Being told that you’re wonderful, even perfect, plays into your need to enact self-enhancement. You might do it to yourself, such as self-talk to boost one’s esteem through positive affirmations. However, it is a(n) 34 solution to life’s problems. You’re bound to be confronted with a painful adjustment to the truth sooner or later. For instance, researchers publishing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology demonstrated that when college students harbored a(n) 35 view of their academic capabilities, it augmented their mood—indeed, they experienced heightened levels of happiness. But the perception of 36 did not translate into more satisfactory academic performance. In fact, that in part led to lower self-esteem.All of this can explain why so many young people today wind up seeing the world as hostile (敌对的): “If I’m wonderful, other people must be creating many problems.”Consequently, you can see how some would feel 37 and wronged when confronted with a reality about their performance in school or at work that doesn’t 38 their self-enhancement propaganda (宣传).So we face a dilemma in life: we aspire to enhance our own well-being and to elevate the emotional state of others, but people’s tendency to do so through self-enhancement may possibly yield 39 ultimate costs. Here are some pearls of wisdom to consider: 40 your imperfections, not as failings but as interesting puzzles to solve.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.What Does It Really Mean To Learn?During my sophomore year, I read “Middlemarch” and didn’t understand why Dorothea, a young and intelligent woman, despite warnings, married an annoying old man and, after 40 years of unfulfilled dreams and compromises, got divorced, finally realizing her grave mistake. Neither did my classmates, which frustrated our professor. “You’ll understand when you’re forty.” he said. At that age, we had never experienced the consequences of a hasty marriage, a career misstep, or the loss of a loved one.41 , it’s one of the tragedies of humanities education that so much of it occurs between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. We don’t teach people to drive at twelve, when they’re carless; why should we make themread novels about life’s 42 when they have none? Yet there’s a theory behind: it’s that knowledge acquired too early gets stored. Patterns of thinking established now will be 43 later; ideas encountered first in art will prime us for the rest of life. This sounds vague until you reflect on the fact that knowledge almost never arrives at the moment of its 44 . You take a class in law school today only to argue a complicated case years later; you learnC.P.R. years before saving a drowning man; you read online about how to prevent a(n) 45 bear, because you never know.Leslie Valiant, a renowned computer scientist, calls our ability to learn over the long term “educability” and he embraces it as the key to our success. When we think about what makes our minds special, we tend to focus on 46 . But if we want to grasp reality in all its complexity, then “cleverness is not enough.” We need to build flexible theories about the world — theories that will serve us in 47 circumstances—and we do that by collecting different types of knowledge, often gradually and unexpectedly and then 48 them together. Through this process, we acquire systems of beliefs that are 49 than the ones we can create through direct personal experience.An educable mind, he writes, can learn from books, lectures, conversations, and experiences—from anything. Educability is similar to “ 50 smarts” which means having a practical ability to handle life’s challenges, and is closely related to having common sense in real-world contexts. When people strike us as particularly “well-educated”, this might mean that they’ve had lots of school, but it could also mean that they’re 51 educable, with the ability to “ 52 of whatever educational opportunities arise.”Valiant thinks at a time when accelerating technological change means there’s always more to learn, we might seek to create a more educable society in general. As for me, I would seek to learn about a wider range of disciplines, and simply try more things. Down in the basement, “Middlemarch” is there, along with many other books that I read casually then but have come to 53 with the passage of time. Reading widely about things that don’t seem immediately useful, in the hope that what you learn now may prove meaningful later—that’s pretty much the definition of a 54 education. Who knew that one of its best 55 would turn out to be a computer scientist?41. A. Scientifically B. Naturally C. Surprisingly D. Arguably42. A. happiness B. challenges C. regrets D. knowledge43.

A. creators B. winners C. defenders D. writersSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Human beings around the world delight in hot and spicy foods. Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Ethiopian—the dishes that can take the roof off your mouth are numerous and flavourful. As you have these intense tastes, however, you may wonder, why do some dishes compete for the title of spicy champion, while others feature barely the hint of a burn?This is a question that has interested food historians for some time. Indeed, it’s a curious truth that places with warm climates do seem to have a heavier preponderance (优势) of hot and spicy dishes, which may have something to do with the fact that some spices have antimicrobial features, studies have found.In one survey of cookbooks from around the world, researchers note: “As mean annual temperatures increased, the proportion of recipes containing spices, number of spices per recipe, total number of spices used, and use of the most effective antibacterial spices all increased.” In hot places where before refrigeration food would have gone off very quickly, spices might have helped things keep a bit longer.It’s also been suggested that because spicy food makes most people sweat, it might help us to cool off in hot parts of the world. One study of people who drank hot water after exercise showed that they did cool down slightly more than those who drank cold water, but only in situations with low humidity. Thailand in August, that ain’t.But spice is hardly limited to the hot parts. While chilli peppers are originally from the Americas, this particular kind of heat grew widespread in the 15th and 16th centuries. Other spices not spicy in the same way as peppers, perhaps, but still strongly flavoured—had been circulating in Europe for centuries. Heavily spiced dishes were the darlings of many cuisines we currently don’t think of for their zing (活力): numerous recipes in one 18th-century British cookery book include strong spices, for instance. What happened?Well, one possibility is that it became a bit uncivilized to like quite so many flavours in one’s food, as Maanvi Singh has written over at The Salt. What we now consider classic European cuisine has a tendency to focus on pairing like flavours with like, rather than bringing in a crowd of strong, contrasting ones. That may be because, as spice prices dropped dramatically in Europe in the 1600s and it became easier for just anyone to season their food with them, tastemakers fell out of love with them. They began to emphasize dishes where the focus was the purest essence of the basic ingredients combined with flavours that served to bring that out. In a word, it may have been snobbery, Singh writes, that erased the joy of spice from many European tastes.56. Which of the following cuisines does NOT value hot and spicy flavour?A. Food in Europe before the 1600s.B. Dishes from places with warm climates.C. Food in the Americas.D. Dishes in today’s Britain.57. Which of the following is true about the relationship between temperature and spice?A. The higher the temperature is, the more spices are used.B. The lower the temperature is, the more chilli peppers are consumed.C. The higher the temperature is, the more expensive it is to get spices.D. The lower the temperature is, the more strongly flavoured the food is.58. In Paragraph 4, what does the sentence “Thailand in August, that ain’t” mean?A. People in Thailand don’t enjoy spicy food.B. Summer in Thailand doesn’t boast hot weather.C. Thai people don’t enjoy cold drinks in summer.D. Drinking hot water doesn’t help cool Thai people down.59. According to Maanvi Singh, today’s Europeans prefer pure tastes rather than strong, contrasting flavours, most probably because ________.A. the spice prices have grown too high for ordinary peopleB. people have been too used to food seasoned with spicesC. spice no longer represents a special right or advantageD. strongly flavoured spices no longer circulate in Europe(B)Memory expert Professor Jemima Gryaznov answers your most common questions about memory.1.____________________We remember the things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections. Childhood memories are often very emotional: we experience things for the first time so we have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Retelling events also helps to fix them in our memories and interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again!2. Do some people really have a photographic memory?It is well known that some people have an extraordinary memory. Daniel Tammet, for example, can remember the first 22,500 digits of pi and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. However, neither Daniel nor Stephen has a photographic memory. They are good at remembering particular things for a limited time. A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later. No one has yet proved that they have a photographic memory in a scientific test.3. Is computer memory better than human memory?That depends on what you mean by “better”! Information in a computer is stored in separate pieces. Human memory is stored in a different way. Each piece of information is connected to many other pieces. That’s why a particular smell can bring back memories of a holiday or a person. The problem with human memory is that it is messy and not very accurate. The problem with computer memory is that it can’t make connections between pieces of information — it isn’t creative.4. I’m 24. Is my memory getting worse?Not yet, but it will do soon. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point we can remember up to 200 pieces of information a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40 weare losing 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.5. Is it possible to remember early childhood?Scientists used to believe that it was impossible to remember very early childhood, but recent research shows that babies are much cleverer than we previously thought. Some people really can remember being a baby. Others, however, remember nothing before the age of five or even ten!60. Which of the following questions best fits the blank in the passage?A. What can we do to improve our memory as we grow older?B. Can childhood memories help us remember what has happened recently?C. How do we establish emotional connections with our childhood experiences?D. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week?61. What can we learn about photographic memory?A. Only some of us can benefit from it.B. There is no reliable evidence that it exists.C. We cannot acquire it without specialized training.D. It enables us to remember details in a limited time.62. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. In most cases information is separately stored in human memory.B. Human’s ability to memorize things declines as the brain gets smaller.C. Computer memory is better than human memory from many perspectives.D. Whether we can remember our early-childhood needs more scientific research.(C)Dr. Donald Sadoway at MIT started his own battery company with the hope of changing the world’s energy future. It’s a dramatic endorsement (认可) for a technology most people think about only when their smartphone goes dark. But Sadoway isn’t alone in boasting about energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future.Scientists and engineers have long believed in the promise of batteries to change the world. Advanced batteries are moving out of specialized markets and creeping into the mainstream, signaling a tipping point for forward-looking technologies such as electric cars and rooftop solar propels.The ubiquitous (无所不在的) battery has already come a long way, of course. For better or worse, batteries make possible our mobile-first lifestyles, our screen culture, our increasingly globalized world. Still, as impressive as all this is, it may be trivial compared with what comes next. Having already enabled a communications revolution, the battery is now poised to transform just about everything else.The wireless age is expanding to include not just our phones, tablets, and laptops, but also our cars, homes, and even whole communities. In emerging economies, rural communities are bypassing the wires and wooden poles that spread power. Instead, some in Africa and Asia are seeing their first lightbulbs illuminated by the power of sunlight stored in batteries.Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year. By the end of the decade, it’s expected to be worth over 50 billion dollars and generate 160 gigawatt-hours,enough to attract the attention of major companies that might not otherwise be interested in a decidedly pedestrian technology. Even utility companies, which have long viewed batteries and alternative forms of energy as a threat, are learning to embrace the technologies as enabling rather than disrupting.Today’s battery breakthroughs come as the world looks to expand modern energy access to the billion or so people without it, while also cutting back on fuels that warm the planet. Those simultaneous challenges appear less overwhelming with increasingly better answers to a centuries-old question: how to make power portable.To be sure, the battery still has a long way to go before the nightly recharge completely replaces the weekly trip to the gas station. A battery-powered world comes with its own risks, too. What happens to the centralized electric grid, which took decades and billions of dollars to build as: more and more people become “prosumers”, who produce and consume their own energy on site?No one knows which—if any—battery technology will ultimately dominate, but one thing remains clear. The future of energy is in how we store it.63. What does Dr. Sadoway think of energy storage?A. It involves the application of sophisticated technology.B. It is the direction energy development should follow.C. It will prove to be a profitable business.D. It is a technology benefiting everyone.64. What is most likely to happen when advanced batteries become widely used?A. Mobile-first lifestyles will become popular.B. The globalization process will be accelerated.C. Communications will take more diverse forms.D. The world will undergo revolutionary changes.65. In some rural communities of emerging economies, people have begun to ________.A. find digital devices simply indispensableB. communicate primarily by mobile phoneC. light their homes with stored solar energyD. distribute power with wires and wooden poles66. What does the author imply about the centralized electric grid?A. It might become a thing of the past.B. It might turn out to be a “prosumer”C. It will be easier to operate and maintain.D. It will have to be completely transformed.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Both the gorgeous (非常美丽的) and non-gorgeous improved by being with other people.B. Sometimes the subjects in the pictures were shown as part of a three-person group.C. It turns out that people don’t even need to be in an actual group to look more attractive.D. It’s no secret that our definition of beauty is defined by a very clear set of physical norms.E. A big nose in the company of a small nose does not look bigger still; rather, both noses move closer to the average.F. While being average-looking might seem like a bad thing, the research suggests that’s not necessarily the case for attractiveness.According to a new study just published in Psychological Science, any one person seen in a group just seems better looking than when viewed alone. The reason: human eyes average things out, and when it comes to faces, average is usually good.67 Facial analysis studies show the symmetry (对称) is almost always regarded as prettier that asymmetry and the most beautiful faces are the ones on which eyes are no more or less than a certain distance apart, and the forehead, chin, cheeks and other features take up no more than a certain share of the whole. It’s the reason that models may be gorgeous but can prove awfully difficult to tell apart.“Perhaps,” says psychological scientist Drew Walker of the University of California, San Diego, in a statement that accompanied the release of the study, “beautiful people are all alike, but every unattractive person is unattractive in their own ways.”To test how that plays out in a group setting, Walker and his UCSD collaborator, psychological scientist Edward Vul, recruited 130 undergraduate students and showed them pictures of 100 different men and women. 68 Other times they were cut out to show just one face at a time. Still other times, the faces were taken out of context and arranged on a simple grid (风格) of either four, nine or 16 faces.Consistently, the researchers found, the sole shots were regarded as less attractive than the faces viewed in a group—whether in a real setting or on the grid. This was true regardless of the gender of the subjects and regardless of whether they would broadly be described as following most definitions of attractiveness or unattractiveness. 69 The explanation for the phenomenon, they believe, is the averaging effect and how it works. 70 “Individuals with complementary features—one person with narrow eyes and one person with wide eyes—would enjoy a greater boost in attractiveness when seen together, as compared to groups composed of individuals who have similar features,” Walker and Vul write.Ⅳ. Summary Writing71. 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.Curiosity Is an Increasingly Rare VirtueMost of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints (打火石) for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. But the journalist Ian Leslie, in his newly-published book Curious:The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on It, insists that curiosity is a much-overlooked human virtue, crucial to our success, and we are losing it.Leslie presents considerable evidence for the claim that the society as a whole is growing less curious. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, the rise of the Internet, among other social and technological changes, has led to a declining consumption of news from outside the reader’s borders. Indeed, Google, for which Leslie expresses admiration, is also his frequent whipping boy (替罪羊): we seek only the information we want. But not everything is to be blamed on。

AOnce upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority.”Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”Yellow chuckled(咯咯地笑). “The sun is yellow, as well as the moon and the stars. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.”Red could bear it no longer. “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life’s blood! I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blo od. I am the color of passion and love.”Purple stood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty(皇室) and power. I am the sign of authority (权力) and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”Finally Indigo(靛蓝) spoke with determination, “Think of me and I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection. You need me for balance and contrast(对比), for prayer and inner peace.”The colors went on boasting(吹嘘), each showing off his or her own advantages. Suddenly there came a flash of bright lightening. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down. The colors were scared to death.In the midst of the quarrelling, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another an d come to me.”Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.From then on, when it rains, colors will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color. Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.21.Why did the colors quarrel?A. Because they often fought for some reasons.B.

You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from a head or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45°angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap(摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you’re tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.25. What should you consider first while sailing?A.

Best of Nature E-cardD“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day!” with a smile, I know she sincerely ca res about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!”This version(版本) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in thesame tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.32. How does the author understand Maxie’s word?A. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.B. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security(安全).33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rudeB. The salesgirl is boredC. The salesgirl cares about meD. The salesgirl says the words as a routine(惯例).34. By saying “Have a nice day.” a stranger may _____.A. express respect to youB. give his blessing to youC. try to be friendly to youD. share his pleasure with you35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a nice day--- a meaningless expressionB. Have a nice day--- a Heart-warming GreetingC. Have a nice day--- a Social CustomD.
