Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for38an hour,and even experts have trouble going more than four hours.So set39goals for yourself.If you really focus,you'll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.By focusing on40sessions of deep work,you can get more done in less time and feel more satisfied.2.2024届崇明区高三英语一模Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.B.anticipatingC.digitallyD.facilitatingE.geometryF.giant advantageI.potentially J.reopened K.soughtG.initiated H.painstakinglyHow Digital Modeling Plays a Key Role in Restoring the Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) It’s been more than four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame,the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors every year.Since then,people from around the world have united to support an effort,31by French President,that’s intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year.Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral have32to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oak wood(橡木)and stone that have stood the test of centuries.But the builders,architects and engineers do have the33of some21st century technologies,including modern building information modeling(BIM)software that enables them t o w o r k w i t h a(n) 34detailed3D digital model of the cathedral and surrounding site,backed by powerful cloud computing technology.“It allows you to really understand a lot of how a building fits together,how it’s constructed,”says Andrew Anagnost,CEO of design software35Autodesk.It has contributed technical consulting,software and financial assistance to the project since shortly after the fire.A digital model,which took more than a year to create,includes more than12,000objects.It was a complex process.Onsite workers captured the point-by-point3D36of the cathedral with laser(激光)and photo equipment.Then,others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects,down to individual building stones.That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire—important for37any stability issues—and plan out the process of reconstruction.“It’s like Mission:Impossible when they plan,”says Nicolas Mangon,VP of architecture, engineering and construction industry strategy at Autodesk.“Every little piece is done38, and with the3D model you can simulate(模拟)everything.”Even when the cathedral is39,the model may still serve important roles.Mangon says the company is currently in discussions about using it to manage aspects of the complex going forward,40using sensors that could show the exact location of any future fires.3.2024届虹口区高三英语一模Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.arrivesB.observableC.boundlessD.containedE.distancingF.expansionG.liesH.parallelI.perceivingJ.threadsK.volumeWhat Comes After Space?Looking at a clear night sky,you witness the vastness of space,which holds everything humans know to exist.To find out what31beyond,a good place to start is to determine where the universe ends.However,the problem is that scientists are uncertain about where space ends or whether it ends at all.The32universeThe furthest humans can see out into space,using all the technology currently available to us,is46billion light-years(a light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year,and is equivalent to about9.5million million kilometres).The33of space that humans can see is called the visible universe.Beyond this,it remains a mystery whether it’s an expanse of more galaxies and stars or possibly the edge of the universe.Some think that the universe is34, meaning space goes on forever in every direction.In this case,there is nothing after space, because space is everything.Moving further awayExperts have captured images of the entire Earth from space,and some astronauts have personally witnessed its beauty from orbit.Perhaps35the limits of the universe would alsobe possible too,if only humans knew where to go to look for it.Another challenge is the universe’s rapid36.As galaxies move further away,their light takes longer to reach us.Eventually,some galaxies may be so distant that their light never37. This might imply that any edge—and whatever is on the other side—is increasingly38 itself from us.Regardless of these uncertainties,scientists still spend a lot of time thinking about what comes after space.Many universes?It’s possible that there isn’t just one universe,and that our universe is just one small part of a “multiverse”.Perhaps our universe is39within its own distinct region of space,separated from others by vast expanses of nothingness.Or maybe40universes exist,pressed tightly against each other.Getting an idea of the universe’s true shape may help astronomers find out whether it has an edge.What comes after that could be an even great mystery.参考答案：31-40GBKCI FAEDH4.2024届黄浦区高三英语一模Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can

skywell,or“tian jin”,as it is commonly called,is a typical feature of atraditional home in southern and eastern China.Skywells were designed toreduce temperature in buildings well before air-conditioning existed.Whenwind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through theopening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the incomingwind travels down the walls to the lower stories and creates__31__byreplacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and harvest rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it__32__out sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.Meanwhile,hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell.Architects are now looking towards the__33__behindskywells while designing new buildings to save energy.Oneexample is the National Heavy Vehicle EngineeringTechnology Research Centre in the eastern Chinese city ofJinan.The18-storey glass-walled tower block has a giant inner skywell in the middle,which__34__from the fifth to the top floor.The elevators,toilets and meeting rooms are all situated around this channel,which helps improve the lighting and ventilation and__35__the overall energy consumption.Ancient“green wisdom”such as skywells continue to inspire today’s climate adaptive design and innovations in methods that depend on design and technology to__36__a building without the use of power.However,there are some__37__for bringing skywells into modern designs.The mechanisms of courtyards facilitating natural lighting,ventilation and rain collection are well known,but applying these methods needs to be__38__.Because traditional skywells had different shapes, sizes and features,which were__39__dependent on their natural surroundings,adding skywells into modern buildings requires designers to be__40__to their project’s context and situation, making it difficult to apply them as a universal solution.参考答案：31-35ABGKH36-40DCJEI5.2024届金山区高三英语一模Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given

the Vatican Museums.He has seen the splendor of the Sistine Chapel and admired the textures of ancient Egypt.“Yes,I’m a key keeper.But the doors I open are the ones to the history of art,and it’s here that exists the biggest and most beautiful history in the world,”says Crea.The Vatican Museums have(31)______collections since the15th century,including tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times.The most(32)______ one of them,according to Crea,is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.He recalls being(33)______ with emotion the first time he accompanied the former head key keeper to open the chapel more than20years ago.Since then,he’s witnessed people of all faiths(34)______at the chapel’s loveliness,something the church believes is increasingly vital during these unsettled times.“In the difficult current context the world is experiencing,in which sadness and(35)______ seem to have the upper hand,art is more necessary than ever,because beauty is always a source of joy,”Pope Francis said last year.There is also(36)______scientific evidence to support this view.A2019WHO analysis revealed that artistic and cultural activities(37)______physical and psychological health.In fall 2022,physicians at Brussels’hospitals partnered with the city to launch a six-month(38)______ study examining the benefits of“museum prescriptions as supplemental treatment for stress, burnout,and anxiety”.It’s the first investigation of its kind in Europe and is expected to have(39) ______effects across the continent.And in the wake of the pandemic(疫情),which forced the Vatican Museums to close three times between2020and2021,there’s a growing movement for wider and easier access to the arts for people’s well-being.“The Vatican Museums must open their doors to people from all over the world,as a(n)(40)______of dialogue between cultures and religions,”Pope Francis wrote in his2015publication.“Everyone can find something beautiful and moving here,”says Crea,who always welcomes travelers from around the world to accompany him during his morning routine on select dates.“The Vatican Museums will give you an understanding of art and history regardless of your faith.”参考答案：31~40AKBED CHIGF6.2024届静安区高三英语一模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

glacier in Alaska in hopes of developing better predictions on how quickly global sea levels will rise.Tim Bartholomaus,a professor in the Department of Geography and Geological Sciences, spent several weeks on Turner Glacier in Alaska's southeastern31near Disenchantment Bay.The glacier is unique because,unlike other glaciers,it rises greatly every five to eight years.A surging glacier is defined,32,as one that starts flowing at least10times faster than normal.But the how and why of that glacial movement is poorly understood,although recent research suggests that global climate change increases the33of glacial surging.During Turner's surges,the mass of ice and rock will increase its speed from roughly3feet a day to65feet per day.All of that is important because glaciers falling into the ocean are a major contributor to sea level rise,and current climate change models don't34account for these movements.For example,Greenland's glaciers are one of the leading contributors to global sea-level rise.Since the early2000s,Greenland35from not having any effect on world sea levels,to increasing sea level by about1millimeter per year.Half of that yearly increase is due to warmer average temperatures,which leads to more ice melting.The other half,however,is because glaciers in Greenland are,as a whole,moving faster and running into the ocean more frequently.Glacial movement has something to do with water running underneath the glacier.Glaciers are full of holes,and water runs through those holes.When the water pressure is high underneath a glacier,it starts to move,partly because it's lifting the mass of ice and rock off the ground and partly because it's36the underside of the glacier.But how exactly does that water move through the glacier,and how does the movement37 the glacier’s speed?Those are the questions the scientists hope to answer.Bartholomaus,some graduate students and researchers from Boise State University,38 onto the ice in August.They set up a base camp at the toe of the glacier and spent their days flying in on helicopters.They placed roughly30instruments,burying them deeply into the glacier and 39them on rock outcroppings(露岩)alongside the glacier.This summer the team will return to get the instruments and replace batteries.Those instruments will40on and around the glacier until the glacier surge stops,providing researchers with before and after data.参考答案：31-35FGDKC36-40AEHJB7.2024届闵行区高三英语一模Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used

an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun.After all, an alien(外星人)examining it through a telescope would note that two-thirds of its surface is 31not of land but of oceans of water.Marine biologists think the oceans might host more than2,000,000species of marine animals,of which they have so far32perhaps a tenth.A new33hopes to change this.Smoothly launched in London on April27th,Ocean Census(海洋普查)aims to discover100,000new species of marine animal over the coming decade.The attempt is happening now for two reasons.One is that,the longer scientists34,the fewer there will be to document.Climate change is heating the oceans,as well as making them more acidic as carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water.The second one is technological.Marine biologists discover about2,000new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day.Ocean Census is35it can go faster.“Cyber taxonomy (网络分类学)”,for instance,involves feeding animal DNA information into computers,which can quickly decide whether it meets the36for a new species.Exactly what the new effort might turn up,of course,is impossible to forecast.But history suggests it will be fruitful.Half a century ago scientists detected hot openings on the sea bed that were home to organisms living happily in conditions that,until then,had been thought37to life.These days,such openings are one credible38for the origin of all life on Earth.More practical benefits can’t be ignored.Many drugs,for example,come originally from biological39.An ocean full of unrecorded life will almost certainly prove a rich seam(矿层)from which to40more.To help make use of its data,Ocean Census plans to make it attainable to scientists and the public without charge,who will be able to search it for anything valuable or unexpected.参考答案：31-40GCIEF BKDJA8.2024届青浦区高三英语一模Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than

More and more Americans are turning back with longing towhat feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters even decades-old video games.Is it a mistake to get too obsessed with the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can indicate loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contribute to anxiety, depression , insomnia etc.But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self — discovery and memories are a psychological immune response that is triggered when you want to take a break from negativity. Interestingly, those happy memories can be particularly beneficial both to kids in their teens and to society's elders. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally," says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. "That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn't have to earn our love." Nostalgia can transform even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let's not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, "after all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then：The white town drowsing in the sunshine of a summer's morning."So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, your first car, a long - gone family pct. As Dr. Sedikidessays，"Nostalgia is ly central to human experience. "But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well："You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. "34.

We all have a soft spot for nostalgia.B. Nostalgia is actually good for you.C. Don't be carried away by nostalgia.D. There are many times when we like to recall.CI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.InChina, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries aboutChina's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, forChina, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.8. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.9. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.10. We can infer form the passage that ________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem ofChina's research environment.C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A Look for a new way of learning B. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environmentDWhen I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.12. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.13. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.14. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.15. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021宝山一模Don't abandon the written WordWay back in 2012, Kyle Wiens. CEO of IFIX wrote in a blog post for Harvard Business Review that he wouldn't hire anyone who used poor grammar. In fact, he____31____ all applicants to take a grammar test before moving forward.According to Wiens, he’s"found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something ____32____ unrelated to writing ―like stocking shelves or labeling parts. What's more, he believes that grammar skills indicate several other valuable ____33___, including learning ability, professional credibility (信用) and attention to detail. Another CEO named Brad Hoover noted that good grammar is a predictor of professional success.Honestly ask yourself whether you'd hire someone with a poorly written resume. Will this person be able to deliver on your business plan? How ____34____ will they be able to communicate your goals and expectations? How likely is it that they will be able to successfully ____35____ with others and build your brand? In short, if you want to succeed ― as a boss or an employee ― good grammar is ____36____.“Great leaders can understand how to use it well in context,” wrote Kevin Daum in an article. As a leader, you must be able to manage, organize, ____37____ and support your team. Strong communication skill both written and verbal, allow you to accomplish that. If you sent an employee poorly written instructions, how probable is it that you'll both be ____38____ in the outcome-and each other?Writing, specifically by hand has numerous ____39____ for your health and well-being. Researchers have also found that handwriting, in particular the forming of letters, is the key to not only ____40____ your memory but also forming new ideas and learning. In fact, if you want to slow down mental aging, writing by hand is your best bet because it forces you to use more of your motor skills.Key: 31—35HDAIC 36—40JGEBF2021黄浦一模Science Isn’t Always Perfect— But We Should Still Trust It From environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims. Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political 31 . When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, “because it’s science!”For several decades, there has been a(n) 32 and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are 33 by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not 34 . After all, just because scientists more than 400 years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science? —is that scientists use “the scientific method.” If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around the house, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But this answer is wrong. But what is 35 declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设), then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do. Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science 36 changes: new methods get invented, old ones get 37 , and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things. Andthat’s a good thing, because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work. False theories can produce true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was 38 to test is true. There also might be many different theories that could produce that same 39 result. On the contrary, if the experiment fails, it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong; it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the 40 .Key: 31. C 32. J 33. A 34.

Held in London at the All England Club, it is the oldest tennis tournament in the world.Over its long history, the tournament has developed traditions which help to 31 it among sports events. During the tournament, players must follow a dress code and compete wearing all-white clothing. This allows the competitors to stand out 32 among those dressed in the tennis club’s official colors of dark green and purple.Wimbledon’s most 33 tradition, however, is that all matches are played on outdoor grass courts. In fact, Wimbledon is the only major tennis tournament still played on grass. Several of the courts at the All England Club are only used for two weeks a year, during the championships. For Wimbledon players, it’s the honor of a lifetime to play the game they love on the tennis world’s center stage. In addition to the 34 and recognition for the winners is the annually increasing prize money the champions take home. Wimbledon consists of five main events with several 35 events and invitation events. Men and women, or gentlemen and ladies as they’re called at Wimbledon, compete in singles and doubles matches. There is also mixed doubles,where one man and one woman make up a team. Events are mostly single 36 tournaments. Only the gentlemen’s, senior gentlemen’s and ladies’ invitation doubles are round-robin (循环赛) tournaments.During the 14 days of 37 competition, nearly 500,000 people will attend the event, including members of the royal family. On occasion this has included the Prince of Wales and Her majesty the Queen. One of Wimbledon’s past traditions required players to bow toward the tournament’s honored guests. Some players still 38 observe the tradition even though the players are no longer required to do so.As the players compete, the tennis fans also participate in another tournament tradition by consuming the 39 strawberries and cream.With the tennis world’s 40 now set on Wimbledon, don’t miss the opportunity to catch this much-loved sporting event.Key: 31.

Because it’s all-purpose. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the conditions, “Not too bad” will get you through. On an average day it __31__ a confusing modesty. In good times it implies a decent pessimism (悲观), a kind of __32__ to express oneself. And when things are rough, really rough and annoying, it becomes a heroic __33__, as if everything goes well. Best of all, it gently prevents further inquiry with all three syllables (音节) equally __34__, because it is -- basically -- meaningless.Americans are small-talk artists. They have to be. This is a wild country. The weakest agreement __35__ one person to the next. So the“Have a nice day”, the “Hot enough for you”, and the “How about those guys” serve a vital purpose. Without these little commonly-used phrases and the __36__ social contract that they represent, to calm people, the streets would be a free-for-all exhibition of disaster.But that’s the negative view. Some of my happiest interactions with other human beings have been glancing moments of small talks. It’s an extraordinary thing. A person stands before you, a complete stranger, and the best everyday small talk can have his or her soul __37__ in front of your eyes.I was out walking the other day when a UPS truck pulled to the side of the road. As the driver leaped from his cab to make a __38__, I heard relaxing music coming out of the truck’s speakers -- a kind of familiar and weightless blues music, and it’s my favorite tune. “China Cat Sunflower?” I said to the UPS guy as he rushed back to his truck. He __39__ showed a huge smile, “You got it, babe!”The exchange of feelings, the perfect understanding, the simplest small talk that emerged instantly between us, and, most of all, the __40__ “babe” -- I was high as a kite for the next 10 minutes after such a pure small talk.Key: 31 - 35 CEIAG 36 - 40: DBKHF2021闵行一模I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing 31 greatly. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a final result, they cannot work in 32 no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing while it is still in progress is most possibly the single greatest33 to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to 34 first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you pass your 35 bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the 36 is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15－20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words 37 . As the words begin to go smoothly, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be 38 on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank screen, start filling it with words no matter how badthey are. Halfway through your 39 time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to a(n) 40 product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.Key: 31. B32. E33. G34. D35. A36. I 37. K38. H39. F40.

NASA scientists published their findings in the latest issue of Nature Astronomy.“Data from this location reveal water in __38__ of 100 to 412 parts per million — roughly __39__ to a 12-ounce bottle of water — trapped in a cubic meter of soil spread across the lunar surface,” NASA said in a release about the discovery.“Without a thick atmosphere, water on the sunlit lunar surface should just be lost to space,” said Casey Honniball, the lead author of a study about the discovery. “Yet somehow we’re seeing it. Something is producing the water, and something must be trapping it there.”There are several possible explanations for the water’s presence, including the possibility that it was delivered to the surface by stony microobjects __40__ the moon. Small balls of glass from that process could trap water, according to the researchers’ paper.Key: 31-40 D J I A E B G K C H2021长宁一模I’ve always been an optimist and I suppose that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved learning new things and solving problems in seventh grade. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time, I was 31 . It was an old Teletype machine. But it changed my life. When my friend and I started Microsoft, we had a 32 of “a computer on every desk and in every home,” which probably sounded too optimistic, but we believed personal computers would change the world. And they have.After 30 years, I’m still as 33 by computers as I was back in seventh grade. I believe computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our 34 and inventiveness to help us solve problems. Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world’s knowledge. They’re helping us build 35 around the things we care about and stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.Like my friend Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day that I love to do. He calls it “tap-dancing to work.” My job at Microsoft is as 36 as ever, but what makes me “tap-dance to work” is when we show people something new, like a computer that can 37 your handwriting or your speech, and they say, “I didn’t know you could do that with a PC!”I believe that my own fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife and I havebeen 38 to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible. I’m still optimistic, and I believe that progress on even the world’s toughest problems is possible. We’re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, and new 39 paid to the health problems in the world.I’m excited by the 40 I see for medicine, for education and of course for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we’re going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.Key: 31--35 GCBAD 36--40 IJFKE2021金山一模How Big is the Ecological Footprint of Your Food?There is no doubt that eating less meat is good for our planet.

Don't abandon the written WordWay back in 2012, Kyle Wiens. CEO of IFIX wrote in a blog post for Harvard Business Review that he wouldn't hire anyone who used poor grammar. In fact, he 31 all applicants to take a grammar test before moving forward.According to Wiens, he’s"found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something 32 unrelated to writing ― like stocking shelves or labeling parts. What's more, he believes that grammar skills indicate several other valuable 33 , including learning ability, professional credibility (信用) and attention to detail. Another CEO named Brad Hoover noted that good grammar is a predictor of professional success.Honestly ask yourself whether you'd hire someone with a poorly written resume. Will this person be able to deliver on your business plan? How 34 will they be able to communicate your goals and expectations? How likely is it that they will be able to successfully 35 with others and build your brand? In short, if you want to succeed ― as a boss or an employee ― good grammar is 36 .“Great leaders can understand how to use it well in context,” wrote Kevin Daum in an article. As a leader, you must be able to manage, organize, 37 and support your team. Strong communication skill both written and verbal, allow you to accomplish that. If you sent an employee poorly written instructions, how probable is it that you'll both be 38 in the outcome-and each other?Writing, specifically by hand has numerous 39 for your health and well-being. Researchers have also found that handwriting, in particular the forming of letters, is the key to not only 40 your memory but also forming new ideas and learning. In fact, if you want to slow down mental aging, writing by hand is your best bet because it forces you to use more of your motor skills.答案：31—35HDAIC 36—40JGEBFA Tennis Tournament (锦标赛) with TraditionToday, July 2nd kicks off tennis’s major event: The Championships, Wimbledon, more commonly known as just Wimbledon. Held in London at the All England Club, it is the oldest tennis tournament in the world.Over its long history, the tournament has developed traditions which help to 31 it among sports events. During the tournament, players must follow a dress code and compete wearing all-white clothing. This allows the competitors to stand out 32 among those dressed in the tennis club’s official colors of dark green and purple.Wimbledon’s most33 tradition, however, is that all matches are played on outdoor grass courts. In fact, Wimbledon is the only major tennis tournament still played on grass. Several of the courts at the All England Club are only used for two weeks a year, during the championships. For Wimbledon players, it’s the honor of a lifetime to play the game they love on the tennis world’s center stage. In addition to the34 and recognition for the winners is the annually increasing prize money the champions take home. Wimbledon consists of five main events with several 35 events and invitation events. Men and women, or gentlemen and ladies as they’re called at Wimbledon, compete in singles and doubles matches. There is also mixed doubles, where one man and one woman make up a team. Events are mostly single 36 tournaments. Only the gentlemen’s, senior gentlemen’s and ladies’ invitation doubles are round-robin (循环赛) tournaments.During the 14 days of 37 competition, nearly 500,000 people will attend the event, including members of the royal family. On occasion this has included the Prince of Wales and Her majesty the Queen. One of Wimbledon’s past traditions required players to bow toward the tournament’s honored guests. Some players still 38 observe the tradition even though the players are no longer required to do so.As the players compete, the tennis fans also participate in another tournament tradition by consuming the 39 strawberries and cream.With the tennis world’s 40 now set on Wimbledon, don’t miss the opportunity to catch this much-loved sporting event.答案：31.

GCambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2020Quarantine has been named Word of the Year 2020 by Cambridge Dictionary, a website where editors use datafrom the website, blogs, and social media to identify and prioritize new additions. On the New Words Blog, 31new additions are posted weekly for readers to cast their votes on whether they feel these words should be added. Surprisingly, “Quarantine” has defeated “lockdown” and “pandemic” to be 32 Word of the Year 2020 after data showed it to be one of the most highly searched for on the Cambridge Dictionary.The Cambridge Dictionary editors have also tracked how people were using the word quarantine and discovered a new meaning 33 : a general period of time in which people are not allowed to leave their homes or travel freely, so that they do not catch or spread a disease.Research shows the word is being used 34 to lockdown, particularly in the United States, to refer to a situation in which people stay home to avoid catching the disease.This new 35 of quarantine has now been added to the Cambridge Dictionary, and marks a shift from the existing meanings, which relate to 36 a person or animal suspected of being infectious.Neither corona virus nor COVID-19 appeared among the words that Cambridge Dictionary users searched for most this year. We believe this indicates that people have been 37 confident about what the virus is. Instead, users have been searching for words related to the social and economic impacts of the pandemic, as 38 not just by quarantine but by the two runners-up on the shortlist for Word of the Year: lockdown and pandemic itself. This interest in quarantine and other related 39 was reflected not only in our search statistics, but also in visits to this blog.Cambridge Dictionary is the top dictionary website for English learning. The dictionary not only shows how words are used in real-world 40 but also gives out their definitions.答案：31-40 BGIAD CHEJKThe Correct Answer to the QuestionThe usual answer to the greeting “How are you?” is generally “Not too bad.” Why? Because it’s all-purpose. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the conditions, “Not too bad” will get y ou through. On an average day it 31 a confusing modesty. In good times it implies a decent pessimism ( 悲观), a kind of 32 to express oneself. And when things are rough, really rough and annoying, it becomes a heroic 33 , as if everything goes well. Best of all, it gently prevents further inquiry with all three syllables (音节) equally 34 , because it is -- basically -- meaningless.Americans are small-talk artists. They have to be. This is a wild country. The weakest agreement 35 one person to the next. So the “Have a nice day”, the “Hot enough for you”, and the “How about those guys” serve a vital purpose. Without these little commonly-used phrases and the 36 social contract that they represent, to calm people, the streets would be a free-for-all exhibition of disaster.But that’s the negative view. Some of my happiest interactions with other human beings have been glancing moments of small talks. It’s an extraordinary thing. A person stands before you, a complete stranger, and the best everyday small talk can have his or her soul 37 in front of your eyes.I was out walking the other day when a UPS truck pulled to the side of the road. As the driver leaped from his cab to make a 38 , I heard relaxing music coming out of the truck’s speakers -- a kind of familiar and weightless blues music, and it’s my favorite tune. “China Cat Sunflower?”I said to the UPS guy as he rushed back to his truck. He39 showed a huge smile, “You got it, babe!”The exchange of feelings, the perfect understanding, the simplest small talk that emerged instantly between us, and, most of all, the 40 “babe” -- I was high as a kite for the next 10 minutes after such a pure small talk.答案：31 - 35 CEIAG 36 - 40: DBKHF5.黄浦区Science Isn’t Always Perfect— But We Should Still Trust ItFrom environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims. Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political 31 . When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, “because it’s science!”For several decades, there has been a(n) 32 and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are 33 by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not 34 . After all, just because scientists more than 400 years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science? —is that scientists use “the scientific method.” If you’ve got a hi gh school science textbook lying around the house, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But this answer is wrong. But what is 35 declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis( 假设), then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientis ts actually do. Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science 36 changes: new methods get invented, oldones get 37 , and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things. And that’s a good thing, because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work. False theories can produce true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was 38 to test is true. There also might be many different theories that could produce that same 39 result. On the contrary, if the experiment fails, it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong; it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the 40 .答案：31. C 32. J 33. A 34.

Floor-to- ceiling glass may provide breathtaking views, but it cuts down on opportunities for art 32 . To solve the problem, a number of developers are thinking of designing apartment towers 33 with art exhibiting in mind. The development company RFR, for example, has 34 the idea of designing loft ( 顶 楼 ) units in the style of a downtown gallery.“I would love to be recognized as a developer who creates spaces that are really planned for an art collector,” said Aby Rosen, a co-founder of RFR and an art collector himself. “I’m a big 35 of art which connects you with history and the desire for culture.”On a recent tour of the loft units at 100 East 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, Mr. Rosen pointed to the uninterrupted concrete walls and floors. “It’s the kind that you may see when you go to a Gagosian Gallery or Paul Kasmin Gallery,” he said.The ceilings are embedded (镶嵌) with slots(槽) that allow soft lighting to be installed for particular works.And to protect precious pieces, the exterior glass is specially treated to prevent the36to sunlight.“These spaces enjoy many 37 high-rise benefits, while at the same time avoid 38 side effects of a downtown loft —the creaking floors and traffic noise,” Mr. Rosen said.To hammer the point, one of the model units was 39 as a gallery rather than a home, with works from various collections.

The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing 31 greatly. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a final result, they cannot work in 32 no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing while it is still in progress is most possibly the single greatest33 to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to 34 first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you pass your 35 bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the 36 is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15－20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words 37 . As the words begin to go smoothly, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be 38 on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank screen, start filling it with words no matter how bad they are. Halfway through your39 time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to a(n) 40 product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.答案：31. B 32. E 33. G 34. D 35. A 36. I 37. K 38. H 39. F 40.

In 2010, each person there threw away about 48 kilograms of food per year, (31)with 41 kilograms in 2016, a slight improvement.A food industry expert says the problem in the Netherlands is that everyday food is so cheap that people (32)have no idea. But don’t forget that a family throws away 50 Euros worth of food every month, that is, 600 Euros a year, and that adds up to a lot of money, doesn’t it? He offers a number of tips on how to deal with (33)food waste. For example, take your shopping list to the supermarket so you can cut down unnecessary food (34) . As far as cooking is concerned, do as much as you can eat. “So if you’re measuring for four people, don’t take it for granted, but use a measuring cup to measure it (35) ,” she said. “We waste a lot of rice and cooked pasta. Turn the refrigerator to 4 degrees instead of 6 or 7 degrees. So you can keep the food longer. If you have a lot left over after dinner, you can (36) it and just put it in the microwave one day a week. It’s easy and it saves money.”In recent years, the Netherlands has taken many measures to deal with food waste.

NASA has confirmed the presence of water on the moon’s sunlit surface, a breakthrough that suggests the chemical 31 that is vital to life on Earth could be distributed across more parts of the lunar surface than the ice that has 32 been found in dark and cold areas.“We don’t know yet if we can use it as a resource,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said, but he added that learning more about the water is 33 to U.S. plans to explore the moon.The discovery comes from the space agency’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA — a(n) 34 Boeing 747 that can take its large telescope high into Earth’s atmosphere, at altitudes up to 45,000 feet. Those heights allow researchers to peer at objects in space with 35 any visual disturbance from water vapor. To detect the molecules, SOFIA used a special camera that can distinguish between water’s specific wavelength of 6.1 microns and that of its close chemical relative hydroxyl, or OH.The data confirm what experts have 36 , that water might exist on the moon’s sunny surface. But in recent years, researchers had been able to document only water ice at the moon’s poles and other darker and colder areas.Experts will now try to figure out exactly how the water came to form and why it 37 . NASA scientists published their findings in the latest issue of Nature Astronomy.“Data from this location reveal water in 38 of 100 to 412 parts per million — roughly 39 to a 12-ounce bottle of water —trapped in a cubic meter of soil spread across the lunar surface,” NASA said in a release about the discovery.“Without a thick atmosphere, water on the sunlit lunar surface should just be lost to space,” said Casey Honniball, the lead author of a st udy about the discovery. “Yet somehow we’re seeing it. Something is producing the water, and something must be trapping it there.”There are several possible explanations for the water’s presence, including the possibility that it was delivered to the surface by stony microobjects 40 the moon. Small balls of glass from that process could trap water, according to the researchers’ paper.答案：31-40 D J I A E B G K C HThis corona-virus affects everyone, but not equally. Because of covid-19, the number of extremely poor people would rise by 70,000,000 to 100,000,000 this year, the World Bank predicted. Using a broader measure, including those who lack basic 31 or clean water and children who go hungry, the poor would rise by 240,000,000 this year, said the UN. That could 32 almost a decade of progress. Vaccination ( 疫苗注射) will to some extent help economies recover, but33 vaccination will take years and the very poor cannot wait that long.The IMF and World Bank have 34 lending, but only 31% more of the bank’s money has reached poor countries, says the Centre for Global Development. Governments in poor countries need to spend their money wisely. Even when money is 35 for good purposes, it is too often wasted or stolen.The best way to help the poor is to give them money in a direct manner. With a little 36 cash in their pockets, the poor can feed their children and send them back to school, which will help them make a living in the future. One country that has done well getting cash into poor pockets is Brazil, despite President Jair Bolsonaro’s habit of understating the effects of covid-19. Various measures of poverty there have actually fallen. A(n) 37 for governments should be basic health care, which the corona-virus has interrupted so badly that vaccination rates for children have been set back about 20 years. The crisis requires politicians to make hard choices quickly, and they can follow the example of China.Mistakes are unavoidable, given how much remains unknown about the disease, but some are38 . India’s sudden lockdown forced millions of migrant workers to head back to their villages on foot or crowded trains, spreading the virus far and wide. Politicians 39 remotely from their comfortable home offices should think harder about how their decisions might affect those whom covid-19 is plunging back into extreme poverty. It is shameful when their 40 to covid-19 adds to the suffering of the least fortunate.答案：31---40 DCGAI KFBEJChina has for years been protecting and restoring natural ecology and the environment, and has established a target responsibility system to improve ecological and environmental quality, developed innovative systems of (31) , inspection and accountability( 责任), and greatly raised the level of biodiversity conservation.

And the Saihanba Afforestation Community and the “1,000 Villages in Demonstration and 10,000 Villages in Renovation” project in Zhejiang Province have won the UN “Champions of the Earth” award.Further, China has announced its carbon emissions will peak before 2030 and it will reach carbon neutrality (中和，中性) by 2060 and thus boost the global fight against climate change and help (38) biodiversity.To (39) ecological and environmental protection, China has shifted from quantitative （量的，定量的）economic growth to high-quality, green development. China understands the organic yet complex relationship between humans and nature, between the environment and people’s livelihoods, and between conservation and development.And it has been making efforts to better understand the development model of (40) civilization that is different from that of industrial civilization, in order to build a green society, which will ensure harmonious coexistence of humans and nature as well as sustainable development.答案：31-35 K F J A G 36 -40 H D I B C。

2021上海高三英语一模分类汇编完型填空专题2021宝山一模A study from Switzerland’s Université de Genève(UNIGE) looked to answer the question of which came first: a decrease in physical activity or cognitive (认知的) decline?“Interrelationships have been ____ 41____ between these two factors, particularly in terms of memory but also regarding the growth and survival of new neurons (神经元).” said Boris Cheval, a researcher at UNIGE’S Swiss Centre for Affective Sciences (CISA) in a press release. “But we have never yet ____42____ tested which comes first: Does physical activity prevent a decline in cognitive skills or ____43____ ? That’s what we wanted to ____44____ .”Earlier studies have considered that physical activity ____45____ cognitive decline. But according to Cheval, recent studies may ____46____ that past research has “only told half the story… since those recent studies demonstrate that our brain is ____47____ when it comes to engaging in physical activity.”Researchers at UNIGE tested the two possible ____48____ by using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a socioeconomic database covering more than 25 countries across the continent.Over the course of 12 years, 105, 206 adults ____49____ in age from 50 to go were tested every two years on their cognitive abilities and their physical activity.Researchers ____50____ cognitive abilities with a verbal fluency test that saw participants name as many animals as they could in 60 seconds. They also tested cognitive abilities with a ____51____ test where they memorized 10 words before reciting them. Physical activity was measured using a scale from 1 to 4. A 1 indicated participants “never” ____52____ physical activity while a 4 meant they were physically ____53____ “more than once a week”.The study found that the ____54____ of what past studies concluded was true ―cognitive abilities mostly influence physical activity, not the other way around.“This study backs up our theory that the brain has to make a real effort to get out of a sitting lifestyle and that by ____55____ cognitive capabilities, physical activity will follow,” Cheval said.41.

I’ve seen my share of airports. They come in several 41 . The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both42 by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two 43 on our flight.At the other extreme are the 44 , modern airports in the world’s major cities. LAX, inLos Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you. Some, such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport, SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco, like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, have 45 terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals, which can be a little 46 .Heathrow airport in London, England, 47 that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various 48 and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the 49 that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and 50 your gate, some of which are a 25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no 51 for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another, what I want is a quiet place, not an area 52 bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel, for me, is interesting but when I have to fly, getting there is 53 not half the fun. Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n) 54part of the process. Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be 55 , not really enjoyed.41. A. types B. cities C. areas D. sizes42.

In fact, for decades, there has been a general 41 trend in the number of accidents per departure.Complex systems are more likely to suffer from failures, but commercial aviation (航空) seems to be a(n) 42 . Since the 1960s, U.S. commercial aviation has become significantly more complex, and yet, flying has become safer. What lies behind this remarkable trend is a handful of smart approaches to 43 . Here are two of them.1. Teach people to speak up—and to listenA common error during airplane accidents used to be the 44 of first officers to question the captain’s poor decisions. When the captain was flying the airplane, he was hard to challenge, and his mistakes went 45 .All this began to change in the late 1970s with a training program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). The program revolutionized the 46 not just of the cockpit (机舱) but also of the whole industry. It reframed safety as a 47 issue and put all crew members on more equal footing. It was no longer 48 to question the decisions of a superior; it was required. And CRM taught crew members the language of disagreement.The lesson isn’t simply that people lower down in the 49 should speak up and higher-ups should listen. What CRM has shown is that people can be taught to speak up and to listen. The ability to express and embrace 50 isn’t hardwired in our personality or cultural background; it’s a skill we can learn.2. Learn from small failures and close callsIn 1976, the US Federal Aviation Administration created an industry-wide system to collect safety reports. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) collects thousands of reports each month. Beyond receiving immunity (豁免权) for a mistake, it’s a point of 51 for pilots to submit ASRS reports. They know the reports make air travel safer. The reports are stored in a searchable database that anyone can 52 , and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) highlights safety trends in its monthly newsletter, Callback.Here, too, there is a 53 lesson. Small mistakes and near misses can be a rich source of data about what might 54 in our system. Mistakes shouldn’t be 55 . By openly sharing stories of failures and near failures, we can treat errors as an opportunity to learn.41. A. similar B. steady C. long-term D. downward42.

Alaska (43) _______ the list of climate-tempted travel destinations. The northern and otherwise-serene Alaskan village of Kaktovik(44) _________ a major boom in tourism last year, as over 2,000 people appeared on its lightly(45)_______ gravel（砂砾）and snowy streets. Until earlier in the decade, local news reports say, the village had fewer than 50 annual visitors. The main (46) _______ now are polar bears, which are being forced into towns by a warming planet and the shrinking Arctic sea ice. All the heating is making it far easier for wildlife (47) _______ and effortless bear selfies. Most visitors are reportedly from China, Europe, or the USA, often arriving on fuel-consuming chartered planes.Around the mid 1990s, researchers began (48) _______ more female bears denning（筑巢）on land instead of in the ice. And seasons of tourism match up with changing bear behavior. It peaks in autumn (which is also far warmer and breezier than the forthcoming winter - and climate change is making things more pleasant in general) when sea ice is far from the shore, and bears can become (49) _______ on the land until the sea freezes again in winter.A report in the Climate Science Special Report: Fourth National Climate Assessment found, “Alaska has warmed more than twice as rapidly as the rest of the United States.” This year, alarming temperatures were reported from Alaska.

With (51)_______ like the recent one that glaciers could be melting at 100 times faster than (52)_______thought, the number of tourists on ice seems to be going up consistently. Alaska’s tour companies have reported an extraordinary increase --- and the number of polar cruises reportedly went up 33 percent in the last decade. Some glaciers have been marked by the rate of melt for tourists to watch and imagine the (53) _______ from where they stand, much like visitors to the Berlin wall picture the past.

However, the benefits might have been 41 . Some researchers are reassessing this long-established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 42 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 43 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 44 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 45 relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one 46severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was 47 by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not 48 abuse, thought they could change theirpartners in this way. These women and men said they would 49 a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of 50 .Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who 51the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partners’ 52 ,” she said. “ 53 in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious 54 in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door by herself? After all, being 55 is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail in the life time. ”41.

Such skills are hard to quantify, and they don’t create clear __49__ to high-paying first jobs. But they have __50__ in a wide variety of careers in the long run.According to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, computer science and engineering majors between the ages of 23 and 25 earned 37% higher than the average starting salary of those majoring in history or social sciences. __51__, the average salary of those majoring in computer science or engineering by age 40 was $111,870, and social science and history majors earned $131,154, an average that is __52__ in part, by high-paying jobs in management, business and law.Why did that happen? According to a 2018 survey, the three __53__ of college graduates that employers considered most important were written communication, problem-solving and the ability to work in a team. In the liberal arts tradition, these skills are built through the __54__ between instructors and students, and through close reading and analysis of a broad range of subjects and texts.I’m not suggesting that students should avoid majoring in STEM fields, bu t I do think we should be careful of the urge to make college curricula ever more __55__ and career-focused. A four-year college degree should prepare students for the next 40 years of working life, and for a future that none of us can imagine.41. A. perspectives B. processes C. performances D. prospects42.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For centuries, people have had a strong sense that it is absolutely beneficial to read fairy tales to children. However, the benefits might have been 41 . Some researchers are reassessing this long-established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 42 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 43 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 44 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 45 relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one 46severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was 47 by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not 48 abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would 49 a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of 50 .Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who 51the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partners’52 ,” she said. “53 in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious 54 in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break thedoor by herself? After all, being 55 is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail in the life time. ”41.

1.宝山区SOS message on the sand saves missing sailorsMicronesia is an area of the western Pacific Ocean with more than 600 islands, (21) covers a huge area of ocean north of the large island of New Guinea.Recently, three Micronesian sailors set out to sail 42 km from one Micronesian island to another. Unfortunately, they got (22) (lose), and then they ran out of fuel. After a long time drifting without power in the ocean, they landed on the tiny island of Pikelot, more than 100 km from their destination.Pikelot is just 450 meters long and 280 meters wide. The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water. The little island (23) (cover) in trees and has sandy beaches.Three days after the three sailors set out on their voyage, they did not arrive at their destination, so ships and aircraft in the area began looking for the (24) (miss) men. But it was almost impossible to decide where (25) (look) because there are so many small islands and the ocean is so large. One of the ships was the Australian navy ship HMAS Canberra, which (26) (sail) from Australia to Hawaii and had a helicopter on board.During this time, the three sailors decided to write (27) message on the beach on their tiny island. They wrote a huge SOS in the sand. SOS is an international signal that people use (28) they need help. Luckily, people on an American aircraft saw the SOS message in the sand and contacted the Canberra. A helicopter (29) the ship landed on the beach and gave the men food and water. Soon after, a Micronesian boat arrived and rescued the three sailors. They are very lucky to be alive, and it was the SOS message in the sand (30) saved them.答案：21. which 22. lost 23. is covered 24. missing 25. to look 26. was sailing 27. a28. when 29.from 30. ThatGeography Makes a Silent ReturnIn many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true. Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, people didn’t really know (22)existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23) (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t alw ays been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hundred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25) (tell) people about our exciting world.Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditiona l geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) (important).While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Toda y, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30) number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing.Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.答案：21. labelling / labeling 22. what 23. defined 24. that / which 25. have told / have beentelling 26. to find 27. where / wherever 28. less important 29. i s used 30. theChildren moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as itis playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, 21 almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They kind of 22 (worry) about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also upset about “sharenting” – when parents post pictures of them on social media without 23 (permit) – and show the concern 24 their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds , shows that 25 most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an 26 （estimate）75% of 10- to 12-year-olds will have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted to “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If Igot 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.”Some children described feeling 27 (confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “28 (compare) yourself with them, you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.”Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect 29 from the risks that social media will present.”“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children 30 (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibil ities.” Longfield s aid.答案：21.when 22. worry 23. being permitted 24.that 25.although/ though/ while 26. estimated27. less confident paring 29. himself 30.are preparedThe Rise of Robot-ChefsCREATOR is a new hamburger joint in San Francisco. It now claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6 -- in other words, (21) (provide) the quality associated with expensive restaurants at a fast-food price. What matters behind this claim is that its chef is a robot.Crea tor’s burger robot is a trolley-sized unit that has a footprint of two square metres. Customers send it their orders via a tablet. They are able to cook everything from (22) well-done the burger will be to the type of cheese and toppings they want.The process sounds rather simple now. But, in fact, the machine took eight years to perfect after it (23) (create). As far back as 2012, a mere two years into the project, it was described as “95% reliable”, but that is not enough for a busy kitchen. Chopping tomatoes was a particularly tough challenge, but even details like the very tool (24)packs the burger into a bag without squeezing it were tricky for the machine to master. Only now, with a machine to make reliably 120 burgers an hour, (25) Alex Vardakostas, the engineer behind the project, and his co-founders, a mixture of technologists and caterers, feel confident enough to open their first restaurant.Creator is not alone. Other robot chefs have already been working, (26) (prepare) entire meals, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of the world. (27) that, this new wave of automation could signal a dramatic shift in the way the fast food industry employs people. That does not necessarily mean (28) (employ) fewer staff. Rathe r, more of them will be in roles where they can directly help customers. “Creator’s goal is not to be the most automated and (29) (human-centered) restaurant, but actually not,” said Vardakostas.It is too early to say whether this first wave of robot chefs will develop well in such a demanding environment as the kitchen. (30) it does, it’s certain to mark a change in our relationship with cookery. Cooking could be something people choose to do simply for the sheer pleasure of it.答案：21. to provide 22. how 23. had been created 24. that 25. do 26. preparing 27.

IfConsider the Mechanical PencilIf you used to collect small objects, I’m sure(if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I’ve long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) (hide) in an empty mooncake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don’t have to buy (25) wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil! There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils “lead pencil” in casual conversation, the term “lead pencil” is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: “John, stop that! You’re going to get lead poisoning!” I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29) the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30) (use) tomorrow.答案：21. went 22. how/when 23. had hidden 24. sharpening/to be sharpened25. another/a 26. which 27. can 28. safer 29. now that/in that 30. to useTasting a Biker’s LifeFor most of my life I knew nothing about motorcycles. I believed that motorcycleriders were tough and leather-wearing loners. They seemed (21) (look) fortrouble all the time, using the roar of a motorcycle engine to frighten others off.Then, on a warm May evening outside my house, my cousin came and showed mehis new motorcycle. Never had a real motorcycle (22) (present) in front ofme by a close family member. “It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” he asked. But I didn’t really understand what I was looking at.It wasn’t until August (23) I was able to actually ride on the motorcycle with him. I prepared (24) oversized leather jacket for myself. (25) (fill) with nervous energy, I held on tightly to my cousin. Soon the bike carried us onto the top of the hill, (26) we stopped to watch the sun set over the city below. I realized that was the most relaxing moment for me in months.Since then, my prejudices about motorcycle bikers (27) (start) to shift. On the back of a motorcycle, (28) (place) all your trust in someone to get you safely home is a way to remind you of the love they have for you. Later, whenever my cousin was gone on a Saturday ride, I would try on his leathers and look in the mirror, wondering if I was (29) a biker myself.Maybe the most important lesson, though, is that you really can’t judge a man by his appearance, (30)much leather he wears. Motorcycle bikers are not scary, or mean, or unapproachable. They’re adults who remember the freedom of riding their first bicycle, and are continuously seeking to recreate the experience.答案：21. to be looking 22. been presented 23. that 24. an 25.

Considering tree leaves can literally be picked up from the street this time of year, it's understandable that some people went after Waitrose, accusing the supermarket of trying to make money by selling (22) that is actually free."A bag of actual leaves? I'll sell you a bin bag of leaves for 10p," one customer wrote."This has got to be from the drunk Monday morning meeting category of ideas," someone else commented.Apparently, the bizarre bouquets appeared on Waitrose supermarket shelves as a way to welcome autumn, and (23) (feature) a sticker urging customers to "bring the outdoors inside". "Brighten up your home with freshly picked f lowers (24) pleasant scents ( 香味) refresh the season," the official product description read. "We source the best blooms from expert growers, and handle them gently (25)they can look beautiful for longer."(26)the generally negative feedback on its autumn-themed product, the British supermarket proudly announced that the idea (27) (inspire) at the beginning of autumn by a demand from shoppers."(28) we intend to offer, we base our decision on the demands from customers. Our customers love using these leaves to mix in with their seasonal flowers to brighten their homes," a Waitrose spokesperson told The Sun.Interestingly, there were those who seemed to somewhat justify the price tag of this bag of leaves. They said that those were obviously "high quality leaves". Their claim (29) be true. But even a bottle of wine can be bought at the same price or less. It seems crazy to charge 6 pounds for a bag of leaves.This isn't the first time that English shops and supermarkets (30) (make) news headlines for selling free things at high prices. There used to be a shop in London, which sold painted logs for $14 apiece.答案：21 causing 22 something 23 featured 24 whose 25 so that 26 Despite 27 was inspired/had beeninspired 28 Whatever 29 may/can//could/might 30 have madeThere are many ways of defining success.

According to the Kepler space telescope, about half the stars similar in temperature (23) our Sun could have a rocky planet capable of supporting liquid water on its surface.Our galaxy holds at least an (24) (estimate) 300 million of these potentially habitable worlds, based on even the most conservative interpretation of the results in a new study to be published in The Astronomical Journal.This research helps us understand the potential for these planets (25) (support) life. This is an essential part of astrobiology, the study of life’s origins and future in our universe.The study is authored by NASA scientists (26) worked on the Kepler mission alongside collaborators from around the world. NASA retired the space telescope in 2018 after it ran out of fuel. Nine years of the telescope’s observations revealed that there are billions of planets in our galaxy -- more planets than stars.(27)this result is far from a final value, it’s extremely exciting that we calculated that these worlds are this common with such high confidence.That’s a wide range of different stars, each with (28) own particular properties impacting whether the rocky planets in its orbit are capable of supporting liquid water. These complexities are partly why it is so difficult to calculate how many potentially habitable planets are out there, especially when even our (29) (powerful) telescopes can just barely detect these small planets.

These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, (22) (deliver) a wealth of reading materials directly to the youngsters who have limited access to book s. “A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Rim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who (23)(inspire) to start Charm, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand (24) we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”For many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, and in some cities public transport is being regarded as means of getting books to communities that need (25) most. The vehicle was rebuilt not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to improve people’s life.Comic books were left on trains, buses and underground systems in the cities around the UK (26)(early) this month to mark 80 years of Marvel Comics.●Carriages on the two subway trains in Beijing were turned into audio book libraries, where passengers were able todownload books.

Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn’t great news, (21) the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood — and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate ( 无脊椎的) species (22) (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23) they’re eating.The research team stresses the fact (24) this is only a brief view of the real problem. “A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish’. Here we didn’t look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25) the actual species was listed —so we’ve made a huge unde restimate of the actual catch of endangered species.”There are some ways to untie the mess we’re creating in the world’s oceans, including (26) (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested (27) as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28) the menu. “We need to improve the labelling of seafood (29) the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice,” UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30) (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there’s the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood.

This weekly joyful event is called the “Tam-tam”— a name (21) (refer) to an African drum — and has become an institution among Montreal’s bohemians (放荡不羁的文化人).The Plateau is one of Canada’s most racially varied districts where French and English are both spoken, unlike the rest of French-speaking Montreal. Many artists, musicians, and writers inhabit this area due to the cheap rent of apartments and studios.
