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.(1)During the 1990s, I had spent five months in a bleak African country, Niger. There were many things I found difficult about that place the beggars were my biggest most constant gripes. They would continually thrust their hands into my face, shouting," Cadeau! Cadeau!"(gift in French)After I had finished my nursing stint there, a friend and I headed for neighbouring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic with much enthusiasm. "It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better," the locals assuredus.Arriving by taxi in our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. With my daypack wedged between my legs, I reached for my larger piece of luggage. Out of the darkness, a motorcycle with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorcycle swept close by and disappeared into the night. The bag had my passport, money traveller's checks, camera in it. I was in deep trouble and the nearest Australian consulate(领事馆) was in Ethiopia. How was I ever going to get a new passport anytime soon?In the weeks that followed, I guarded the rest of my valuables and regarded the locals withsuspicion. All I wanted was to leave that terrible place.Then walking through the Burkina's streets one day, an old woman approached me and thrust her hand in my face. "Dear lady Cadeau! Cadeau!" she cried. I had enough. I told her firmly in French," I have no 'cadeau'. I have no money. A thief stole all my money and now I can't get out of your country. I can't give you anything." The beggar woman listened attentively and pondered my words. Then her face crumpled into a toothless grin as she reached into the folds of her dress. "Then I will give you a cadeau," she announced. Kindly, she placed an old dark brown coin in my palm. I looked at it in shock. It was a minuscule amount of money but for this woman the coin represented a meal. At that moment, I felt the shame of affluence and the humility of charity. She had given me a gift disproportionate to anything that I had ever donated.In the midst of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I saw then, theunexpected beauty of the people and appreciated profoundly the quiet dignity of the poor.56. The underlined word minuscule in the passage is closest in meaning to .A. unbelievableB. tinyC. unclearD. ordinary57. Which of the following Statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer complained most about beggars in Niger.B. The writer was an Australian citizen.C. Two motorists grabbed the writer's valuables out of a sudden.D The writer still treated the locals fairly after the loss of the bag.58.

The main aim of the RGS Carnival is toA. select the best RGS activityB. showcase the pupils' musical talentC. test hearts of participants with haunted housesD. raise funds for the school's CIPF(3)The amazon is the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world-about 10 percent of all known species on earth dwell there. But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'big picture' of the vast rain forest.The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in theAmazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to come up with the figures.The vast size and difficult terrain (地形) of the Amazon basin has historically restricted studies of tree communities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack ofinformation has hindered science and conservation efforts, according to experts.The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance, frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees. Extrapolations based on the data, collected over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining U.S. States.While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number ofthe types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber. "This isvery valuable information for further research and policy making," said research co-author Dr. Hans ter Steege, from the Netherlands.The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to amathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said," Species too rare to find account for much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for conservation that the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race."62. The underlined word hinder is closest in meaning toA. generatedB. blockedC. sponsoredD. improved63. According to the passage, what made the collection of species information so difficult?A. The lack of experienced professionals in the field.B. The dangers of certain types of species.C. The big area and complicated geographic situation.D. The unfavourable government law in the field.64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The amazon rain forest covers 10 percent of the world's dry land.B. The conservation of amazon has been done well.C. About 8000 types of trees belong to over 220 species.D. About 6000 Amazonnian tree types have died out.65. The species conservation was made difficult byA. the negative climate of the amazon landB. the possibility of dying of rare speciesC. the lack of conservation fundD. the human beings' lack of concernVI．Translation(]0％)Directions：Translate the following sentences into English，using the word or phrase given in thebrackets．1．很难相信他在这么艰苦的环境中活了下来。

"It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better," the locals assured us.Arriving by taxi in our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. With my daypack wedged between my legs, I reached for my larger piece of luggage. Out of the darkness, a motorcycle with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorcycle swept close by and disappeared into the night. The bag had my passport, money traveller's checks, camera in it. I was in deep troubleand the nearest Australian consulate(领事馆) was in Ethiopia. How was I ever going to get a new passport anytime soon?In the weeks that followed, I guarded the rest of my valuables and regarded the locals withsuspicion. All I wanted was to leave that terrible place.Then walking through the Burkina's streets one day, an old woman approached me and thrust her hand in my face. "Dear lady Cadeau!Cadeau!" she cried. I had enough. I told her firmly in French," I have no 'cadeau'. I have no money. A thief stole all my money and now I can't get out of your country. I can't give you anything." The beggar woman listened attentively and pondered my words. Then her face crumpled into a toothless grin as she reached into the folds of her dress. "Then Iwill give you a cadeau," she announced. Kindly, she placed an old dark brown coin in my palm. I looked at it in shock. It was a minuscule amount of money but for this woman the coin represented a meal. At that moment, I felt the shame of affluence and the humility of charity. She had given me a gift disproportionate to anything that I had ever donated.In the midst of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I saw then, theunexpected beauty of the people and appreciated profoundly the quiet dignity of the poor.56.

But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'bigpicture' of the vast rain forest.The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in theAmazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to come up with the figures.The vast size and difficult terrain (地形) of the Amazon basin has historically restricted studies of tree communities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack ofinformation has hindered science and conservation efforts, according to experts.The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance, frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees. Extrapolations based on the data,collected over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining . States.While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number ofthe types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber. "This isvery valuable information for further research and policy making," said research co-author Dr. Hans ter Steege, from the Netherlands.The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to amathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union forConservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said," Species too rare to find account for much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for conservation that the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race."62.

The manufactures say that it will remain the permethrin for about 70 washings.Mosquito coil（圈，卷）also keep mosquitoes away.However,the smoke from them pollutes and can damage the lungs,so they should be used with care.When you're inside,simply plugging in some fans will keep mosquitoes away as they are weak fliers.Everyone wants to avoid mosquito bites,so try several methods to see what works for you.56.which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Mosquitoes usually don't like dark colors.B.Mosquitoes don't like people with type O blood.C.It's not easy to remove some chemical treated off clothing.D.It's not easy to use mosquito coils to drive mosquitoes off.57.What does the phrase ward off in Para 5 most probably mean?A.prevent fromB.take inC.break awayD.turn out58.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to get rid of mosquitoes.B.Keep mosquitoes away.C.Be aware of mosquitoes.D.Pay attention to mosquitoes.59.What does this article imply about mosquitoes?A.Electric fans can be used to blow mosquitoes away.B.People had better use the methods together to avoid mosquitoes.C.Mosquitoes would like to bite people at dawn or dusk.D.Different people should choose different ways to avoid mosquitoes.Section C (4%)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.English is closely related to German,but it uses many words from French.B.English is a multi-culture,which has different background and people.C.This is partly because English includes words from so many languages.D.Over fifty countries have English as their official language and use it for higher education.E.Some English speakers use words only to fill pauses when they talk.F.People usually use some special words to avoid embarrassing occasions.Let's learn about EnglishIf you're reading this,you've probably already spent many hours studying English.But here are facts you may not know about the language:English is one of the most common languages in the world.Some experts estimate that English has about 339 million native speakers._60_.This does not include the United States,which has no official language.English is also the official language of the sky.That means all pilots use it on international flights._61_This is because a French-speaking ruler conquered England in the 11th century.English also includes words from many other languages.This is because people in British colonies spoke many languages.Words from many of those languages were added to English.Other words are added even today.As a result,English has one of the largest vocabularies of any language.You've probably noticed that English spelling can be hard to predict.For example,the long "e"sound can be spelled eight different ways.And the letters—"ough"—can be pronounced nine ways!_62_Spelling of English words often reflected their origins.The most common letter used in English is "e".But more words begin with "s" than any other in the alphabet.Most English words thyme with at least one other word.But month,orange,silver and purple don't thyme with anything._63_Some common examples are like,just and basically.These words are called 'crutch words',and it's best to avoid them.People who use too many crutch words sound like they aren't sure what they're trying to say.However much you know about English,there's always more to learn about this strange and interesting language.Ⅳ.Translation (15%) (3+3+4+5)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.64.现在看来,学生必须下定决心学好英语口语了。

上海市宝山区高一下学期期末考试英语试题Ⅱ.Grammar and VocabularySection A (10%)Directions: After reading the passages below,fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.In France,there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur,who was a doctor of science.The thing (17) occupied his mind was the disease rabies."I must find the rabies germs that hide inside people and make them so sick (18) they die,"he thought. "Once I find that invisible enemy,I'll think of a way to kill it.I just know I (19) do it."Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said,"You'll never do it.No one can find (20) invisible enemy!"Pasteur didn't care (21) people thought,he believed in (22) .He kept right on working.Meanwhile,in German,a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble.He wasn't a bad boy,he was just thoughtless,as children sometimes are.He was playing with a dog.But this dog was sick with rabies,(23) made the dog mad.When Joey got tired of playing with the dog,he started to go home.Unfortunately,the dog escaped from behind the fence and bit Joey.The invisible enemy—the rabies germs—were passed on from the dog to Joey.Soon the little boy was very sick.Everyone knew that if someone was bitten by a sick,mad dog,that person would become infected with rabies and die.His parents could only wait.But then there was news.Joey's mother saw it and shouted for joy."A doctor of science (24) (find) a way to save people like Joey!"she said."He says sick people like Joey have been infected by an invisible enemy,and he's found a way to kill it!"The man,of course,was Louis Pasteur.He had done what he had set out to do.Joey's parents quickly prepared Joey (25) the long journey to Paris."Dr.Pasteur,"said the mother upon their arrival at Pasteur's residence,"we've come a long way.Our little boy (26) (bite) by a mad dog,and he's very sick.Can you help us?""Perhaps,"said Pasteur."I've invented a vaccine（疫苗）.It is strong enough to kill the invisible enemy.Joey was finally saved and later became a gatekeeper at the Pasteur Institute.Section B (10%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.threatB.certainC.developingD.necessarilyE.checkedF.potentialG.speciallyH.connectionI.preserveJ.exerciseK.healthyYou've probably heard of the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking,poor diet,lack of_27_ and so on.But did you know that the health of your gums（牙龈）may also affect your chance of_28_heart disease?More than 120 studies have investigated the_29_link between gum disease and heart disease.Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease and other diseases that affect blood vessels.This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't_30_cause heart disease.Doctors and scientists have proposed a number of possible reasons for this connection.One common factor is inflammation（发炎）,which occurs when the body senses a_31_and sends white blood cells to attack it.This leads to painful swelling（肿胀）,which is the main symptom of gum disease.White inflammation hasn't been shown to cause heart disease,it often accompanies it.And as it turns out,the same types of bacteria often lead to inflammation in both diseases.It's also possible that the_32_has less to do with biology than with an individual's habits.Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that prevent heart disease.So what does this mean for your health?Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn't_33_,don't take it for granted that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart.Certainly,brushing and cleaning are not replacement for exercise and a_34_diet.But keeping your mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still good goals to go after.They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your bright smile complete.This research does mean that if you have gum disease,you should get your heart_35_this is especially true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reason,such as smoking.Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected?The body is a complex and mysterious thing,so do all you can to_36_it.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A (14%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage,there are four words marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The secret to Dwanyne Johnson's success is simple—he gives people what they want.TROUBLED YOUTHWhen he was young,Johnson's family_37_with money,which led him down a bad path.While they lived in Hawaii,Johnson stole form tourists and high-end stores.When this_38_police involvement,he decided to make a_39_.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift. All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’ fox terrier, little dog for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array of perfume. He beckoned a shop assistant, instructing her to take out a lot of perfume test paper and wave each kind under the dog’s nose. Nestled in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly pointless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly become frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the assistant waved one piece of test paper under its nose.“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the assistant. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.“My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “How did you know?” she asked, dabbing some perfume behind each ear.“Intuition(直觉), I guess.” Said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie under the circumstances. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been a little dog named Fritz.65.Which of the following words best describes the young man?A.Kind-hearted.B.Curious.C.Creative.D.Mean.66.According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by _________.A.the young manB.the shop assistantC.the man’s intuitionD.the dog Fritz67.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the story?A.The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.B.The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.C.The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.D.The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.(B)Which tablet(平板) computer should YOU be buying: T here’s a style to suit everyone .Best for young childrenLeapPad Explorer 2, £68Aimed at children betweenthree and nine (though a nine-year-old might find it a little simple), itcomes in pink or blue and with fivebuilt-in education games (you can buy more).

The introduction of the Internet results in a new kind of newspaper. That is called digital newspaper. Unlike the traditional newspapers issued by using print on the paper, digital newspapers publish on the Internet. This kind of newspaper is not only the digital edition of papernewspapers. It contains more technical devices.Because the Internet creates a special condition, there are four key changes of digital newspapers compared with traditional newspapers. First of all, digital newspapers are not updated day by day. If any news happens, there will be correlative reports on the newspaper websites immediately. The instant update is the most important development of contemporary newspapers caused by the Internet. In addition, it can also include hyperlinks(超链接). It is another advantage of digital newspapers. Readers can access another concerned website through these hyperlinks. It is more convenient for readers to obtain detailed information. Some online newspaper websites have a BBS (Bulletin Board System), databases and other distinctive services. Thus different from traditional newspapers, digital newspapers can exchange information with readers. McAdams(1995) claimed that unlike traditional newspapers, the readers could expect some feedbacks of online newspapers. Another change is electronic newspapers can extend the scope(范围) traditional newspapers could cover. A case in point is there is a website which contains almost 200 newspapers from 55 countries. Anyone, who wants to see some newspapers are not published in his area, can just read them online. Ultimately, there have been some digital newspapers with Multi-media such as visible or audible reports in it. Anyhow, the changes of newspapers are obvious and available. Newspapers are and will be developed to more potential because of the introduction of the Internet.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)72. What leads to the birth of digital newspapers?73. The most important advantage of the digital newspaper is _____________________________.74. The underlined word “ultimately” in the passage probably means _______________________.75. What are the four key changes of digital newspapers?IV.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.”So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax and insurance. “It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra.”The hours she’s chosen to work meant that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship.Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either. “I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful.”The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. “Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself——and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags.”Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. “They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret. “I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more. I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it.”56. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because _______A. she wanted to earn more money to support her familyB. she had suffered a lot of mental pressureC. she needed the right time to look after her childrenD. she felt tired of taking care of patients57. Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because _______.A. they never clean their officesB. they look down upon cleanersC. they never do their work carefullyD. they always make a mess in their offices58. When at work, Margaret feels _______.A. light-hearted because of her fellow workersB. happy because the building is fully litC. tired because of the heavy workloadD. bored because time passed slowly59.

Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at whichenergy is gained or lost from the earth.64. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.A．result in a warming climateB．cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC．lead to a longer fire seasonD．protect the forests and the environment there65. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT _________.A．large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphereB．the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increaseC．snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into spaceD．ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun66. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A．analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB．indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC．suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD．suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming67. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may __________. A．warm the climate as the supposition goesB．allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC．destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD．help to gain more energy rather than release more energySection CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.Dining in China: Culture ShockBefore coming to China, I thought of Chinese food as General Tso’s chicken, egg rolls, and fortune cookies.68 In my first few weeks here, the group I was working with went out to dozens of group dinners. We were introduced to the Chinese way of dining out, and there was quite a bit of culture shock involved.For one, the community style of dining was new to me. In America, I was used to sharing an appetizer with someone sometimes and then everyone ordering their own main course. In China, many dishes are ordered and placed on a lazy Susan. The table is spun around and you grab what you like. And we’re not just talking a starter, a main, and dessert here; a Chinese dinner is a marathon of food. 69 of course, there are always some staple foods around---rice, dumplings, or noodles. Soup comes last in a Chinese dinner instead of first, and dessert usually consists of a massive fruit plate.Using chopsticks was also new to me and took quite some time to get used to. It was always embarrassing at first when I couldn’t grab something tasty from the moving table and had to wait until the next time around. After years of practice, I can now confidently snatch a peanut as it’s flying by me on a lazy Susan---practice really doesmake perfect! In the first few months, I was laughed at so many times by Chinese people while they watched me struggle with chopsticks. That probably explains why one of my favorite things to do while dining out in many Western restaurants in town is watching young, trendy Chinese people struggle with their forks and knives.I had eaten chow mein before, as well as egg fried rice and Kung Pao chicken, but there were plenty of Chinese dishes that gave me culture shock in my first few months here. 70 While Americans basically only eat chicken breasts, wings, and thighs, Chinese will also dig into the liver, heart and especially the feet. There’s an old Chinese belief that eating an animal organ will benefit your corresponding organ---eating a heart is good for your heart, and eating a brain will make you smart. You can figure out the rest yourself.Despite all of this food-related culture shock, I can honestly say that one of the best things about living here is the food and dining out. Chinese cuisine is so complex and varied that you could spend an entire lifetime here and not taste it all. 71 To be honest, now when I go home to visit I actually end up missing Chinese food more. Sometimes, culture shock is a good thing!第Ⅱ卷I. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 方便的话，请帮我从邮局取包裹。

In the past days, only people with a great deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries while to common people,travelling is like a dream which will hardly come true.However, due to the fast development of economy and society, an increasing middle classappears in many parts of the world. More people travel today than in the past; that is to say,people now have more money and time for a trip. Various kinds of plane fares and discounts ondifferent transports for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before.Some people even drive with their families or friends themselves. One person doesn't travel forthe same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different fromtheir own. They also like to meet new people, taste new food and experience new customs, etc.Many changes have taken place in a country and in people's lives on account of tourism.For example, a large number of places in China have developed a theme of RED or GREEN tourto attract travellers and spread the local resources and products out around the world. In orderto realize these wishes, people build new hotels and restaurants and train native men andwomen as guides to show visitors interesting places and persuade them into buying souvenirs.There're new nightclubs and other amusements.Sooner or later, international tourism will clearly be a big business in the current world.Questions:1.

I didn't understand the poem and knew nothing about its background when I read it at the age of 6, it still inspired my love for new Chinese poetry.Gu's lines might have been my (early) enlightenment (启蒙) of humanistic spirit. A few years later, I understood the aims of those 1970s poets: to challenge that harsh era and pursue happiness that deserves. Meanwhile, the rational (理性的) power lying in these poems taught me to think independently.Hai Zi, Luo Yihe and Xi Chuan are my favorite poets writing styles have affected me profoundly.Through their works, I have experienced a combination of pure words, poetic hearts and devotional beliefs (虔诚的信仰) for nature.On the eve of 2021, I wrote a poem named Bye Bye, 2020, I wrote, "I went by 2020/ Like a hedgehog (刺猬)/ Carrying thorns (荆棘) in my bland life/ Covered by dust from the dull world/ On this day I whisked (掸掸) my body/ Tomorrow's sunlight kissed me on my forehead/ A thorn was a scar/ A thorn melted into a white brier (荆棘)."Just like my poem, my 2020 was full of agony (痛苦) and sorrow. During the four-month lockdown, I developed a severe eating disorder. I continuously ate too much, like a savage (野蛮的) monster. Vomiting became a daily routine, which drove me to thoughts of suicide (自杀). But afterwards, the poem written by Shi Zhi (the pen name of Guo Lusheng) came to mind, which said that he would "use the sweet snow to write down: Believe in future". He always (concern) himself with the future of China and Chinese teenagers. He have felt much more desperate than I did, but he still looks for hope and happiness. In contrast, how selfish my sorrow was! I (convince) that I should value my life and fight on. At the moment I finished my poem, I felt refreshed, and my thoughts of suicide disappeared, which was like a miracle. It was the power of poetry lit up the fire of hope in me.Poetry is a lifelong passion. With the great efforts made by poetry lovers across the country, I believe there will be a poetry renaissance (复兴) in the future, which can give peace to the unrest (动荡) in the world.【知识点】作定语、whose、个人经历(Personal experiences)、客观真理、客观存在、科学事实、一般事实、even though、单数主语，不可数名词，单个动词不定式，动名词短语，以及句子做主语、引导词的运用、记叙文、might、even if、限定性定语从句、where、三者或三者以上进行比较of、in表示范围、非限定性定语从句、everyone、was/were+过去分词(1)【答案】known(2)【答案】Even though；Even if(3)【答案】earliest(4)【答案】everyone(5)【答案】whose(6)【答案】where(7)【答案】concerns(8)【答案】might(9)【答案】was convinced(10)【答案】that15.Every second when it comes to monitoring earthquakes in real time. An AI earthquakemonitoring system developed by the University of Science and Technology of China and China Earthquake Administration is shortening the time it will take to seismic (地震的) activity. The related paper has been published in the journal Nature Communications on March 4."This is the first AI earthquake monitoring system in China and the world," Zhu Huiyu, a researcher at the University of Science and Technology of China, told China News. "It can detect and releaseearthquake information automatically in time."After an earthquake, many countries are able to immediately publish the time, magnitude (震级), location and of the earthquake, but they don't include the focal mechanism parameters (震源机制参数) which can be used to predict the possible of strong aftershocks (余震). "It takes three to ten minutes for many countries to publish earthquake focal mechanism parameters, but by this time, the earthquake has fully occurred, and the damage has been done," said Zhu."This system can estimate the earthquake focal mechanism parameters within one second at its best performance and release the earthquake information before the earthquake reaches some areas."This technical is attributed to (归因于) a novel deep learning method, namely theFocal Mechanism Network (FMNet). The FMNet is trained with millions of synthetic (人造的) earthquake samples and has learned the global waveform from theoretical (理论的) data. Based on this huge amount of data, it can process and analyze real-time earthquake data, according to Nature Communications. As of now, the main method to work out earthquake parameters in many countries requires a human operator on duty 24 hours a day, according to China Daily. Compared to manual computing methods, this new system can operate , which also saves time.The AI earthquake monitoring system has been put into a test run in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, Science and Technology Daily reported. Although the real-time warning has only increased by one second during its testing, it counts for a lot. "If we are able to receive the warning information three seconds earlier after an earthquake occurs, we'll be able to reduce casualties (伤亡人数) by 14 percent. With 10 seconds earlier, casualties can be reduced by 39 percent,"Zhu noted. "Every second is crucial for the safety of people's lives and ."【知识点】accurately、说明文、characteristic (n.)、distribution、real、depth、count (v.)、最近的发明，医疗发展，科技的发展等(Recent inventions,medical advances,technological advances,etc.)、it作形式主语，不定式后置、breakthrough、property、independently (1)【答案】I(2)【答案】C(3)【答案】F(4)【答案】A(5)【答案】H(6)【答案】D(7)【答案】G(8)【答案】J(9)【答案】B(10)【答案】K16.（2021·上海闵行区·模拟）Many things happen when people are ageing. Apart from the greyinghair and wrinkled skin, there is a(n) change which comes with older age. When humans reach their later years, they favour more long-term and their social circle is reduced.Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same in another species.Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps' depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated (分类) the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other;and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed the other.When the scientists looked at the of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of gradually become less, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers . According to an idea in psychology known as socio-emotional selectivity theory, older humans prefer more relationships because they are aware that time is running out. However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees the human sense of mortality (死亡), suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, he said.【知识点】科普知识（Popular science)、puzzled (a.)、behavior=behaviour、decrease (n.)、feature (n.)、emotional、interaction、friend、interest (n.)、establish、positive、lack (v.)、形容词的辨析、relationship、pattern、说明文(1)A．physical B．intellectual C．emotional D．functional【答案】C(2)A．habits B．friends C．tasks D．ideas【答案】B(3)A．problem B．obstacle C．struggle D．behaviour【答案】D(4)A．established B．respective C．experienced D．thoughtful【答案】A(5)A．skills B．reputations C．interactions D．positions【答案】C(6)A．intelligence B．relationships C．popularity D．performances 【答案】B(7)A．easy-going B．warm -hearted C．self-relying D．one-sided【答案】D(8)A．respect for B．courage to C．interest in D．loyalty to【答案】C(9)A．patterns B．importance C．meanings D．development 【答案】A(10)A．instinct B．disadvantage C．feature D．belief【答案】C(11)A．responsibility B．aggression C．reliability D．advancement 【答案】B(12)A．delighted B．amused C．relived D．puzzled【答案】D(13)A．unknown B．positive C．insecure D．senseless【答案】B(14)A．lack B．obtain C．imitate D．abandon【答案】A(15)A．absence from B．isolation from C．decrease in D．distinction in【答案】C17.（2021·上海闵行区·期末）"We are going to have to get rid of Bay this year," Meg's dad said. "Thathorse can't work another winter."It was October, and snow was falling lightly over their part of Montana. Meg knew the ranch (牧场) needed strong, steady horses to bring the sheep back from pasture. Still, she could hardly take in the enormity of her father's words."I know Bay's old," Meg told her dad, "but he is my horse. Won't you let me keep him? I'd feed him.He won't be a problem.""We use horses for labor," her dad said, "We don't keep them as pets."Meg understood. She thought about Casey, a dog she had once loved. He became lost when he chased a wandering sheep and never came home. Meg had been sad for weeks. She knew that on a ranch (农场), animals come and go. You couldn't grow attached to them. Bay was different, though. The horse had a personality all his own.She went to the stable and stroked the old brown horse's head. As Bay nuzzled her hand, Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.The snow was falling faster, and dark gray clouds were settling over the peaks. Meg had an idea. She saddled Bay, put her foot in the stirrup, and swung up (翻上马). "Let's go !" she cried, and nudged him with heels.They galloped (飞奔) over the meadow (牧场), onto a steep and narrow trail, and up a wooded slope."We'll round up the sheep now, before the snow gets too thick," Meg said. "We will show Dad how well you work."The sheep stood in a high pasture, bleating at the storm clouds. Meg heard a lone bleat from above.She looked for the lost sheep but couldn't see it. "It must be stuck in the bush above the rock wall," she thought.She got off her horse and began to climb up the steep wall. She was almost at the top when the heel of her foot slipped into a crack. She lost her balance and fell onto a rock. She tried to stand, but her foot hurt too much.Then Bay got into position under the rock. He was telling Meg to crawl onto his back!Painfully, Meg got her feet into the stirrups. Slowly and carefully, Bay carried her down the snow trail.On the way down, they met Dad riding his gray horse.

But have you ever wondered whether factors unrelated to your work performance, such as personal appearance, influence your chances for advancement?We have—and to find answers to this question, sought the opinions and advice of a number of workplace experts, as well as women themselves in various industries. Do looks affect getting hired, getting promoted, and making more money? And if so, what can you do about it?Now let's see what's behind the Scenes.Research gives us a few clues into how a woman's appearance may influence her advancement ability. A study conducted by NYU sociologist Dalton Conley and NYU graduate student Rebecca Glauber found that women's weight gain results in a decrease in both their income level and job prestige. By contrast, men experience no such negative effects.A more recent study designed and executed by researchers at Harvard University, Boston University,and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that women wearing more makeup were judged to be more competent than those wearing less makeup or no makeup. Makeup was found to increase people's perceptions of a woman's likability and trustworthiness as well.Despite these research implications, many are reluctant to admit that a woman's personal appearance influences decisions around hiring and promotion, according to Steve Stroum, president of Venmark International. Stroum explains a key reason for this is that personal appearance falls into the subliminal (下意识的) judgment part of the brain. He compares the situation to the automotive industry placing bright red convertibles (敞篷车) in their showrooms, only to sell white cars. "In the same sense, a woman's personal appearance is a hidden persuader," says Stroum. "Nobody will admit that something as trivial will impact their decision-making process…but it does."Marc L. Resnick, Ph.D., professor of human factors at Bentley University College of Business, reinforces this position. "My research finds that when making decisions, people are influenced by avariety of factors that are explicitly conscious and unconscious," says Resnick. "So even for a hiring manager that knows of this tendency and forces him/ herself to suppress it, it is still an influence."【知识点】猜测词义、最近的发明，医疗发展，科技的发展等(Recent inventions,medical advances,technological advances,etc.)、主旨大意、细节理解、说明文(1) According to the studies, what kind of women could get more advancement?A．Women with more weight.B．Women wearing makeup.C．Women having convertibles.D．Women with talents.【答案】B(2) Why do many people deny that a woman's personal appearance influences her career?A．Because it is irrelevant to her career.B．Because it is too superficial.C．Because it is the subconscious part in the brain.D．Because it can arouse women's jealous emotion.【答案】C(3) What does explicitly in the passage mean?A．clearly B．indirectlyC．extensively D．ambiguously (含糊不清的)【答案】A(4) What is the main topic of the passage?A．Whether people's personal appearance influences their job career.B．Whether people's consciousness influences making a decision.C．Whether colors influences automotive industry.D．Whether people's talent influence their promotion.【答案】A20.（2021·上海闵行区·期末）Perfectionism (完美主义) is a trait that is associated with people whohold themselves up to harsh standards. . This trait often shows up in individuals who are highly sensitive, people-pleasing and control-seeking. This mentality drives us toward made-up rules that we hope will give us control and make us feel "good enough". , keeping us trapped in the chase for the next hit of approval. Then, as soon as it’s achieved, the mind says, "Okay, how will you get more though?"For example, you lose a few pounds and your brain gets excited, then a few minutes later it has you wondering how you will keep losing weight. Or you get a promotion at work and your brain says, "Okay, what next?" It’s never enough. We never truly land. .If you've ever spent time with someone who focused on achieving perfection, they may have made you feel like you weren't good enough or competitive enough. Or maybe you just couldn't connect. That's because flaws (缺点) and mistakes are universal parts of the human experience. .【知识点】哲理与感悟（Philosophy and comprehension）、推理判断、说明文(1) ( )。
