Deaf children were discouraged and even punished for (39) ________ and forced to learn finger-spelling and lip-reading.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When first entered, V anak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has inviting(诱人的), homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack, The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers specially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.A common sight is that of old Persian men seated in the corner talking freely and loudly about current topics, watching the latest news on the small screen, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under ＄10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well,The food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight of the grill (烤肉架). The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs which are different styles of grilled meat.One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere is warm and the food is delicious. It is a place that could not be overlooked.56.

At least, that's what the Museum of Failure wants us to believe.Displaying around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas from Coca-Cola Black, a coffee-inspired drink, to Bic pens made especially for women, the newly opened museum in Helsingborg Sweden, celebrates modern history's worst designs.But as well as exhibiting long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is to help us learn from our mistakes. Samuel, a psychologist, who set up the museum after feeling tired of success stories, says understanding bad design can be more valuable than copying good design.“The majority of all new projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success.” according to the museum's website “I hope that visitors take home two messages: that failure is inseparable from success, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure.”said Dr. West.The purpose of the museum is to show that a new idea requires failure." Dr. West said as he introduced some of the exhibits in a video. “If you are afraid of failure, then you can't have any change.” His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failures, rather than ignoring them and pretending they never happened.Inspired by a Leo Tolstoy quote---“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” West has created a slogan for his museum: “All successful changes are alike; all failed changes fail in their own interesting and special way.”The museum's items, many of which were acquired on eBay, strengthen West's belief that Poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, for example, is a frozen beef lasagna (意式千层面) made by Colgate. (Yes, the company that makes toothpaste). Dr. West described this as a classic case of “brand extension failure.”A collection of nine objects from the museum is on tour, stopping in Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam. The travelling collection of failures will then visit Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo in 2018 and 2019.60.What's the main idea of this article?A. Understanding bad deigns is better than coping good deigns.B. People should learn from their failures, rather than ignoring them.C. The Museum of Failure displays some of the Worst designs in modem history.D. Although history is written by the visitors, we should not ignore the losers.61.The underlined word inseparables in the fourth paragraph most probably means________.A. unable to be seenB. unable to be squeezedC. unable to be separatedD. unable to be supported62. The museum's various items acquired on eBay prove Dr. West's view that________.A. failure is connected with successB. all failed changes fail in their own wayC. learning is the only way to turn failure into successD. if people are afraid of failure, they can't come up with good ideas63 We can learn from the passage that________.A. It is Helsingborg Sweden that the Museum of Failure is located in.B. Some of the items exhibited in the museum are modern history's worst designs.C. One of the items, Coca-Cola Black, is an example of “brand extension failure”.D. Some items from the museum were displayed in cities such as Miami, Berlin and Amsterdam.【答案】60-63BCBASection 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 sentence than you need.Clay is found almost everywhere in the world. It is formed by the action of wind and water on rocks over thousands of years The rocks change in both chemical and physical ways. Chemically, elements like potassium and aluminum are added and taken away. (64) ____C____ After a long time, some of the rock changes to clay.Clay is important because it is used around the world to make containers of all kinds. Potters (陶工) add water to soften the clay, (65) ____E____. Then it is fired in an extremely hot stove. The result is a container with a hard surface that will last for many years.In many countries, clay was formed from volcanoes. This kind of clay usually contains many minerals. So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter than those used for non-volcanic clay, The fires may be as hot as one thousand four hundred degrees Celsius.(66) ____B____. This means that the highest temperature should not be reached too fast. You can add materials to clay to gain desired results. For example, you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming in the finished product. But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans. Instead, you should use sand from rivers or from other areas of land that are not near the sea.You can usually find good clay in low areas of islands or land, especially if volcanoes helped form the land. Clay often exists in fields covered with some water. The clay will be found about one meter below the ground. (67) ____D____You can recognize clay because it is very shiny when it is wet. You can also perform a test. Take some of the material and add enough water to it to make it seem like you are making bread. Then press it in your hand until it is about the size of an egg. It is probably clay if it holds together instead of falling apart when you stop pressing.【答案】64-67CEBDIV.

The police use it to be sure whether the person is guilty of a certain wrongdoing（坏事） or not, teachers employ it to find out if a child really has or hasn’t done his or her homework and parents apply it to findout if their teenagers really did go to a group study meeting as they said they would. In the past, it seemed like reading body language to judge guilt may not have been in effect, at least in some cultures. Tribal groups of centuries used to figure out if a native committed a crime (犯罪) using pain tests, such as dipping a hand in boiling water, walking on burning coals, and others.For example, a native whose hand came out burnt after a dip in boiling water is considered guilty at the time. Luckily, no such judging process exists any more and we have the chance to explain ourselves by appearing in court and giving our statements. However, it may not be easy either, because it requires knowledge of reading body language.How can you tell if the other person is lying through his teeth? There are several ways to tell. One is when the other person is unable to look at you in the eyes as he tells a lie. Thus, if you ask your partner if he has been cheating on you, you will know that something is wrong if he says he hasn’t but looks elsewhere while he says so.56. Why did the writer mention the police, teachers and parents?A. To show all the people who read body language can know if a person is lying.B. To show they are doing different kinds of jobs.C. To show police are much cleverer than teachers and parents.D. To show all of them can read body language.57. How did tribal groups find out if a native committed a crime several hundred years ago?A. By being decided by their leaders.B. By using pain tests.C. By appearing in court.D. Through his teeth.58. The passage mainly tells us ________________________________.A. we can catch a liar （说谎者） by body languageB. the importance of body languageC. how we should use body languageD. the history of body language being usedBCynthia Kadohata wrote Kira-Kira and never thought it would be so popular among students. It is a book about a young Japanese-American girl, Katie Takeshima, and the difficulties that her family have to face when they are forced to move to Georgia. This book tells the story of one family’s journey to a new place, their experience of racism, and the ability of people to move forward through hard time.In the book, Kate and Lynn Takeshima are sisters. The story begins in Lowa, where their parents’small family-owned store runs out of business. Soon after, the Takeshimas begin to face financial difficulties and they have to go in search of a new living. The family moves to Georgia where they work at a hatchery（孵化厂）with their uncle. On the way to their new home in Georgia they experience racism. They have difficulty in “fitting in” when a hotel manager tells them to go to “the back”where the “Indians” have to stay.Life gets even harder for the Takeshimas when they begin to work at the hatchery. Katie’s parents are over-worked there. They have to stay in a cramped apartment with little space. And as if that isn’t enough, Katie has too much schoolwork to do. During Katie’s struggle, Lynn becomes sick and Katie feels unsafe, because she has always looked up to Lynn. There are hard times that Katie and her family have to experience. This story is a beautiful-example of resilience (适应力) and friendship. It also opens the reader’s eyes to some of the struggles that Asian Americans are facing.59. Why does the family have to move to Georgis?A. They are not used to the life in Lowa.B. They don’t have enough money to live in Lowa.C. People look down on them in Lowa.D. They want to open a hatchery in Georgia.60. From the second paragraph, we can infer that Indians ___________.A. run the hotelB. are not friendlyC. have a hard lifeD. like staying in the back61. The underlined word “cramped”in the third paragraph probably means ____________.A. comfortableB. crowdedC. quietD. bright62. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Katie’s parents died in the hatchery.B. Lynn really looked up to Katie.C. Katie’s uncle owned the hatchery.D. Katie went on schooling in Georgia.Section C(8分)Directions：Choose from the sentence A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._63__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __64__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__65_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__66__Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.第二卷（共23分）V. Translations (13分:3+3+3+4)1. 长时间盯着陌生人看被认为是不礼貌的。

Group members, aged from 50 to 85 years old, have been in China for three days and helped raised 120,000 pounds in Britain. About 8 tourist groups are scheduled for this year.One of the travelers, who suffered from lung cancer, said he enjoyed walking on the Great wall as he had never been to China before. He told Xinhua News Agency that the best way to fight against disease is to participate in activities like this and to help other patients. And he said four years ago, he almost gave up hope after undergoing three operations, but his confidence was restored with the help from some cancer foundations and his situation later improved.11. For what purpose did the travelers walk along the Great Wall?12. How far did the travelers walk along the Great Wall?13. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Today’s parents are selective about almost everything the y can provide for their kids. How to choose food wisely is one of their top concerns. A recent food study has taught parents how to do it. First, choose organic food as often as you can, especially for these types that typically contain the highest levels of pesticide substance: peaches and apples, pears, for example.Besides, fish is some of the healthiest food you can eat, but choose carefully because some types contain poisonous chemicals. When preparing fish, remove skin, and bake, or grill fish so that the fat drips away. Avoid bluefish, and swordfish as they are hard to digest for kids.And one important thing is to limit your consumption of canned foods because the can typically contain harmful material, which may pollute food. And although popc orns are the kids’favourite, parents should remember to avoid microwave popcorn. You can choose ready-to-eat popcorn or pop your own popcorn on the stove as the insides of microwave popcorn bags are often coated with poisonous chemicals which may damage yo ur kids’ health.Questions:14. What is one of the greatest concerns for today’s parents?15. Why aren’t bluefish and swordfish suggested for kids?16. Why is canned food bad for kids?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following passage.W: Good morning.M: Hello. This is Tom. Could I speak to Professor Smith, please?W: I’m afraid he isn’t in. He’s gone to the library.M: Could I leave him a message?W: Sure.M: We are going to…W: Oh, wait a second. I’ll get a pen. OK, go ahead.

2019-2020学年上海市南汇中学高三英语期中考试试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFor some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look aftera dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.A. illegal trade of dogsB. less dog farmingC. high prices of dogsD. online sale of dogs2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fit in withB. Go in forC. Make up for.D. End up with3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.BTen years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.4. What’s the purpose of the author’s research?A. To discover what luck means to people.B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.5. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?A. There was too much information to be read in detail.B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.D. The words were too small to be noticed.6. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?A. Their ability to spot opportunities.B. Their ability to become relaxed.C. Their ability to communicate.D. Their ability to make friends.7. What’s the key message of the last paragraph?A. What lucky people are looking for.B. How lucky people generate good luck.C. What lucky people can do with opportunities.D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.CAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”8. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.9. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C. She played it with a baby.D. She was unconcerned about it.10. What's paragraph 5 mainly about?A. What Sandy did for her mother.B. People's reaction toSandy's post.C. The rising needs for baby dolls.D. HowSandybecame a celebrity.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News for Alzheimer's PatientsB. How to Remove Alzheimer's DiseaseC. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover MemoryDGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to sharea photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.12. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unique.B. Similar.C. Relevant.D. Fundamental.13. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A. To draw others' attention.B. To satisfy others' curiosity.C. To remove negative feelings.D. To develop good relationships.14. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A. Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C. Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D. Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.15. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A. Reflecting on past bad manners.B. Showing a great many expensive goods.C. Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D. Recording unforgettable moments with friends.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。

He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Italian shirt.“My mother made me a deal,” Carson remembers.“ She said, ‘I'll give you all the money I make next week. You'll be in charge of the family finances—buying food and other necessities and paying the bills. Whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.’”“I Thought, this is going to be great,” Carson says.“ I bought tings we needed most and then began going through the bills. Of course I ran completely out of money long before everything was paid.”“The I realized my mother, with her third-grade education, was a financial genius—just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small sum of money. I'd been a fool. I wanted her to buy me a 75shirtwhensheonlytookhome 100 a week, cleaning other people's floors and washing their toilets. I took a hard look at my behavior and wondered how I could be so selfish.”“I started studying again. My grades went back up to A's. S ome of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern. But I refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal.”The experience had a lasting effect. “ I not only saw and felt the difference my mother madein my life, but I am living out that difference as a man.”53. By saying “My mother made me a deal”, Ben Carson meant that his mother .A. refused to buy him the shirtB. made an agreement with himC. asked him to deal with the problemD. showed him how to save money54. Ben Carson started studying hard again and rose back to the top because .A. he had got his shirt anywayB. he got his mother as his teacherC. he wanted to be a financial geniusD. he had a better goal to run after55. Ben Carson's story tells us that .A. a boy should not learn from his peersB. he didn't understand his mother as a boyC. what his mother taught him has changed his lifeD. people with little education may become a genius【答案】53-55 B D C(B)For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find an internship （实习）.In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far behind.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higherearnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education. In Germany, students as young as 13and 14are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on thefour-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country's most vulnerable （易受影响的）kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teach them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they're still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to-19-year-olds are above 20percent for the third summer in a row."The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they will become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job, "said Michael, a researcher in the US.56.According to Robert Schwartz, high school students should.A. directly carry on higher educationB. get contact with the working worldC. focus on their performance in examsD. not miss out on the summer job experience57. What can be inferred from the text?A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the momentB. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a jobC. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employmentD.

The police use it to be sure whether the person is guilty of a certain wrongdoing（坏事）or not, teachers employ it to find out if a child really has or hasn’t done his or her homework and parents apply it to find out if their teenagers really did go to a group study meeting as they said they would.In the past, it seemed like reading body language to judge guilt may not have been in effect, at least in some cultures. Tribal groups of centuries used to figure out if a native committed a crime (犯罪) using pain tests, such as dipping a hand in boiling water, walking on burning coals, and others.For example, a native whose hand came out burnt after a dip in boiling water is considered guilty at the time. Luckily, no such judging process exists any more and we have the chance to explain ourselves by appearing in court and giving our statements. However, it may not be easy either, because it requires knowledge of reading body language.How can you tell if the other person is lying through his teeth? There are several ways to tell. One is when the other person is unable to look at you in the eyes as he tells a lie. Thus, if you ask your partner if he has been cheating on you, you will know that something is wrong if he says he hasn’t but looks elsewhere while he says so.56. Why did the writer mention the police, teachers and parents?A. To show all the people who read body language can know if a person is lying.B. To show they are doing different kinds of jobs.C. To show police are much cleverer than teachers and parents.D. To show all of them can read body language.57. How did tribal groups find out if a native committed a crime several hundred years ago?A. By being decided by their leaders.B. By using pain tests.C. By appearing in court.D. Through his teeth.58. The passage mainly tells us ________________________________.A. we can catch a liar （说谎者）by body languageB. the importance of body languageC. how we should use body languageD. the history of body language being usedBCynthia Kadohata wrote Kira-Kira and never thought it would be so popular among students. It is a book about a young Japanese-American girl, Katie Takeshima, and the difficulties that her family have to face when they are forced to move to Georgia. This book tells the story of one family’s journey to a new place, their experience of racism, and the ability of people to move forward through hard time.In the book, Kate and Lynn Takeshima are sisters. The story begins in Lowa, where their parents’ small family-owned store runs out of business. Soon after, the Takeshimas begin to face financial difficulties and they have to go in search of a new living. The family moves to Georgia where they work at a hatchery（孵化厂）with their uncle. On the way to their new home in Georgia they experience racism. They have difficulty in “fitting in” when a hotel manager tells them to go to “the back” where the “Indians” have to stay.Life gets even harder for the Takeshimas when they begin to work at the hatchery. Katie’s parents are over-worked there. They have to stay in a cramped apartment with little space. And as if that isn’t enough, Katie has too much schoolwork to do. During Katie’s struggle, Lynn becomes sick and Katie feels unsafe, because she has always looked up to Lynn. There are hard times that Katie and her family have to experience. This story is a beautiful-example of resilience (适应力) and friendship. It also opens the reader’s eyes to some of the struggles that Asian Americans are facing.59. Why does the family have to move to Georgis?A. They are not used to the life in Lowa.B. They don’t have enough money to live in Lowa.C. People look down on them in Lowa.D. They want to open a hatchery in Georgia.60. From the second paragraph, we can infer that Indians ___________.A. run the hotelB. are not friendlyC. have a hard lifeD. like staying in the back61. The underlined word “cramped” in the third paragraph probably means ____________.A. comfortableB. crowdedC. quietD. bright62. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Katie’s parents died in the hatchery.B. Lynn really looked up to Katie.C. Katie’s uncle owned the hatchery.D. Katie went on schooling in Georgia.Section C(8分)Directions：Choose from the sentence A-F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._63__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __64__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__65_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__66__Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.A. Having interesting things to think about also helps.B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves.C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes.D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.第二卷（共23分）V. Translations (13分:3+3+3+4)1. 长时间盯着陌生人看被认为是不礼貌的。

Currently, patients in need of a new organ (22)________ ________wait for an organ donor who is a perfect match for them so that their body won‟t reject the transplanted organ, and it‟s not uncommon for people to die while (23)________(wait). However, with 3D printing, the organ would be made with the patient‟s own cel ls, so there‟s no chance that it would be rejected. These organ transplants are still a decade away, (24)________ ________ experts in the field, and simpler pieces of anatomy will be ready first, starting with skin, muscle, and bone.In the most basic form of 3D printing, a digital blueprint is first made and sent to a printer. Then the printer exudes(渗出) plastic drop-by-drop, layer-by-layer to create the (25)________(desire) shape. However, this basic 3D printing is done using high temperatures, (26)________ would kill live cells. Thus the printers used for bioprinting have been reinvented not to require extreme heat. In this special kind of 3D printing, the printer deposits biodegradable, plastic-like materials to form the structure of an organ and water-based gels that contain cells. Those cells anchor onto the structure, and then the organ (27)________(transplant) into a body. The body provides it with nutrients and oxygen (28)________ the organ tissue generates its own system of blood cells.Although doctors and researchers already have the ability to engineer living tissue and organs, it has alwaysbeen done manually, which is a laborious process. The advantage of 3D printing is (29)________ it‟s much faster, more precise, and more easily reproducible. One ear, for example, takes only 4-6 hours to print at present.Still, there is a lot of work (30)________(do) in the area of transplanting the printed cells.Section BDirections: 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.Oxford English Dictionary Asks T eenagers to Explain Modern Slang Oxford English Dictionary has launched an appeal to teenagers, hoping they can help it get to handle slippery teenage slang such as “hench” and “dank”.Quoting its aim to “record all distinctive words that ___31___ the language, old and new, formal and informal”, the OED said that slang terms were “always challenging” for dictionary editors to track. Y oung people‟s language today is “particularly ___32___ to describe”, because terms change rapidly and communication methods such as WhatsApp and Snapchat have made it more difficult to ___33___ the changing vocabulary.In its youth slang appeal, the dictionary is asking children and teenagers to send in examples of current slang words, either on Twitter at #youthslangappeal or via its website. Adults are also invited to___34___, if they have examples of young people using “words that are ___35___unfamiliar to you—or familiar words in very unfamiliar ways”.OED senior editor Fiona McPherson said: “Lexicographers(词典编撰者) are used to ___36___ and recording language change. Y et, there‟s something particularly innovative about the way that young people adapt ___37___vocabulary to make new words, and in doing so create what seems like a secret lexicon (词汇) to those not in the know.”The OED has been tracking a new sense of the word “bare” for a number of years, it said, citing a 2009 ___38___ from Twitter: “Friday is going to be the BUSIEST day of my life I think :) Bare things poppin‟ off.” It will publish anentry for the slang term at the end of the year, with a draft version identifying it as chiefly British slang, meaning “many or much; a lot of”. The OED says this usage “appears to have originated in Caribbean English, and ___39___ from the sense …nothing but, too much of‟”.Other words it will be considering include “dank”, meaning “cool or great”, and “hench”, meaning “fit and muscular”. Words used by younger people “often have a bigger story to tell about ___40___of English used by particular ethnic(种族的) or cultural groups, and their influence on the language as a whole”, said the dictionary, which will be offering UK state schools free access to the OED online for this academic year in conjunction with its appeal.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The universal use of technology has resulted in a constant current of information interrupting the “flow” of our life. This __41__ pattern was initially marketed as “call-waiting” for our phones. But now our eyes, ears, and fingers are glued to our technology 24/7. We are __42__ by emails, texts, or the news feeds on our Facebook pages. My friend Ron refers to this technology as “weapons of mass distraction.”But how is this mass distraction __43__ our degree of presence and ability to attend to the everyday demandsof life? According to a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation report, children from eight to eighteen spend an average of seven hours and thirty-eight minutes a day using entertainment media. In addition, a study published in the August 2010 issue of Pediatrics found that exposure to __44__ media was associated with attention problems in a sample of 210 college students.The __45__ is just part of the larger picture. Dealing with a crowd of daily text messages and emails makes it difficult for us to be by ourselves when all that activity stops. Although a sense of __46__ is natural at times, our addiction to the nonstop interaction afforded by technology deepens that feeling when access to the technology is unexpectedly __47__. Just think how you feel when you lack cell phone or web access. Is it possible that our ob-session with continually checking our emails and text messages has contributed to our __48__ to genuinely relate with others and find enjoyment without constant stimulation?Aside from the impact of technology on our __49__ and our ability to be at ease in the absence of our technology, let‟s examine how interacting with our devices __50__ the development of our fundamental communication and social skills. Many researchers observe that everyday conversation between human beings is becoming increasingly__51__.Many of today‟s children are growing up with a built-in dependence on devices, making it difficult for them to feel __52__ in everyday social situations. Often they find it __53__ to make eye contact or deal with even the simplest face-to-face interactions without the aid of technology as an intermediary(媒介).Over time these children forget how to relate with each other because they have become habituated to using technology to __54__ direct contact with others and life itself. __55__, some neuroscientists believe that use of the internet actually rewires our brains.41.

On the other handSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What first attracted Isabella Springmühl to the word of fashion was her struggle to find clothes that fit her as a person with Down’s syndrome(唐氏综合症). “It was difficult for me to get clothes,” she says.“We have a different body constitution; we are shorter, wider, or very thin. My mother always had to fix the clothes shebought for me.” For that reason she decided to become a fashion designer and to design clothes that f it people with Down‟s syndrome.However, when she first applied to fashion school she was rejected by two universities in her home country of Guatemala. While this might cause some people to give up, for her it was the catalyst(刺激因素) that gave her the energy to follow her dream despite the difficulties. Searching for other possibilities, she decided to attend a sewing academy for women.At the academy she was asked to sew outfits for “worry dolls,” which are traditional Guatemalan dolls that are put under c hildren‟s pillows to take away their worries while they sleep. She preferred to sew clothes for life-sized dolls, however, and she began designing jackets with traditional Guatemalan textiles for them. Following that she switched to designing clothes for people, drawing on the rich variety of texture and color present in traditional textiles for inspiration.Isabella‟s process of making clothes starts with her picking out antique textiles from Antigua, the ancient capital of Guatemala. From there, the material is taken to her place where she works with her team to create unique clothes. Her goal is to export her brand, Down 2 Xjabelle, all over the world so people can see that men and women with Down‟s syndrome can accomplish what they set out to do. Through her work as a designer she also wants to be completely self-sufficient and live on her own.At 20 years old, she is well on her way to achieving her goals. Last year, she was the first person with Down‟s syndrome to have his or her clothing line featured in the London Fashion Week. She was also featured on the BBC‟s list of 100 inspirational women. This year she‟s been invited to events in Miami, Chicago, and possibly Paris.56. Isabella decided to become a fashion designer because ________.A. she was seriously illB. her mother was a designerC. h er family wasn't richD. she couldn‟t find suitable clothes57. According to the passage, “worry dolls” are ________.A. dolls that can make you carefreeB. fairies who are in charge of dollsC. h uman-sized dolls with jacketsD. traditional dolls for young girls58. Which of the following best describes Isabella?A. Caring and determined.B. Ambitious and proud.C. Well-educated and energetic.D. Creative and outgoing.59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Other Side of the Fashion IndustryB. Worries of a Distinguished DesignerC. A Road Less TravelledD. Out with the Old, in with the New(B)By Jackie Wattles @jackiewattlesSeptember 13, 2018: 2:45 PM ETWall Street’s response to Apple’s annual product release on Wednesday was, as one analyst described it, a yawn.The company released a handful of new devices and modest updates, including three new versions of the iPhone X and an Apple Watch with new features. All of that was expected.Apple (AAPL) shares dropped slightly Wednesday, down 1.2%. But it bounced back: The stock was up more than 2% Thursday afternoon.It‟s a sign that investors were willing to forgive the dull performance on Wednesday in light of Apple‟s strong financial outlook, analysts and investors told CNN.Ross Gerber, Gerber KawasakiActivist investor Ross Gerber, the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki told CNN‟s Julia Chatterley on Thursday that Apple was “basically giving me the same phone again.”He also made fun of the company's live-stream(网络直播), during which Apple displayed a new Apple Watch feature that will alert the police if the wearer falls down.“They‟re so out of touch with the consumer,” Gerber said. “Who are you marketing to here? That 70-year-old crowd doesn‟t stream anything,” he said, referring to CEO Tim Cook.But a boring presentation on Wednesday wasn‟t enough to sour Gerber on Apple‟s stock.Daniel Morgan, Synovus T rust CompanyDaniel Morgan, a vice president and senior manager at Synovus Trust Company, said in a phone interview that he wasn‟t fascinated with the latest Apple event, either.But as an investor, he‟s keen on Apple‟s plan to increase the average sales price of its phones with the iPhone XS. That can keep shareholders happy while customers wait for Apple‟s next big thing—whenever that may be.60. Apple‟s stock performance on Wednesday showed that _____.A. Apple has lost many investorsB. Apple‟s economic prospect is reliableC. Apple releases new products regularlyD. Apple‟s product release was unexpected61. What did Ross Berber imply when mentioning the new Apple Watch‟s alerting function?A. Old people seldom used Apple products.B. The new function would be totally meaningless.C. The new function would add burden to the police force.D. Apple used a wrong medium to target the intended users.62. What does the passage mainly intend to tell us?A. Customers are satisfied with Apple‟s new updates.B. The stock of Apple has experienced ups and downs.C. Investors still trust Apple despite its dull new release.D. Apple‟s iPhone sales are promoted by the new release.(C)A faked video of Donald Trump shows how AI will make propaganda(宣传) cheap and easy.“DEAR people of Belgium. This is a huge deal…” It sounds like Donald Trump—a bit, anyway. It is definitely a picture of Donald Trump. But the person in the video, produced by sp.a, a left-wing Belgian political party, is not quite the American president. It is a computer-made reproduction, into whose mouth has been put a not-entirely serious lecture about Belgium‟s carbon emissions.Faked images are not new. But doing it well is hard, requiring specialists who are scarce and expensive. However, technology is making things cheaper and easier. The video by sp.a is a “deep fake” — which draws on “deep learning”, an artificial-intelligence technique used in everything from recognizing faces to playing Go, a complex board game. To produce a deep fake, all you need is a piece of free software, some pictures of the person whose face you wish to transpose(调换), an existing piece of film to paste it into and a script for your digital creation to read. The computer takes care of the rest.For now, the results are often amateurish(业余的). The video of Mr. Trump is awkwardly indistinct. But that will change. Pictures and video will become like text: easier to fake outright or to shade in subtle ways that overstate or understate what is really happening. The video, sp.a says, was not intended to deceive. The game is given away near the end, when Mr. Trump says: “We all know climate change is fake —just like this video!” But not everyone will be so thorough and careful.This prospect would be worrying at any time. It is particularly unwelcome now. The internet has alreadyoffered a cheap and effective way to spread written untruths. Faked videos will be similarly easy to spread, but will be more powerful indeed because people have not yet learned to mistrust film and sound-tracks.What to do? Ideally, people will adapt and the world will be quick to apply the lessons from “fake news”. But that will be hard. Technologies such as encryption (加密) and digital signing can help trace a film or picture back to a trusted source. Fact-checking will devote more time to videos and pictures as digital fakery becomes widespread; but such services can only ever be reactive, making the truth hardly known after a lie that is already halfway across the world.Before the era of mass media, mass literacy and cheap communication, knowledge of the world was foggy. It was a struggle to sort fact from made story. Cheap, high-quality propaganda risks making the truth harder to find. Technology could make the global village feel more like a fearful, distrusting place.63. The example of the video of Donald Trump is adopted to show _____.A. faked images are here to comeB. the US president is not a serious personC. technology has made it harder to tell right from wrongD. artificial intelligence is making cheating more effortless64. What does the underlined word “deceive”in paragraph 4 mean?A. Advocate.B. ExposeC. Mislead.D. Motivate.65. Which of the following is true according to the passage？A. The influence of fake videos will be more destructive than words.B. Fortunately, fake pictures and videos are not hard to tell.C. Technology may prevent an unreliable source of information from being detected.D. People will soon learn lessons from misunderstanding fake news.66. What is the author‟s attitude towards the future of fake videos?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Indifferent.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Restaurant in Spain Charges the Rich and Feeds the PoorThere is a new restaurant in Madrid which charges customers during the day, and uses that money to feed the homeless at night. The restaurant is called Robin Hood, like the English hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor. 67During the day, Robin Hood is a cafe which serves coffee and Spanish croquetas for breakfast and has a lunch menu. Then at night it opens as a fancy restaurant, serving dinner for free to homeless people. This is not like a typical soup kitchen meal. 68 In total, they feed 100 homeless men and women each night. Sinceopening in November, Robin Hood has become very popular.The restaurant/cafe is run by an organization called Mensajeros de la Paz (in English, “messengers of peace”), which was founded 54 years ago by Father ÁngelGarcía Rodríguez. They have many other projects as well, including a church that offers free coffee and tea, free wifi, places to sleep, and free lunch and breakfast.69 Currently,the unemployment rate is20%, and the youth unemployment rate is the highest in Europe.Talking about the restaurant, Father Rodríguez said, “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who‟s spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it‟s through bread or through work. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths and proper cutlery and waiters? People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else.”70One night diner who was interviewed by the Guardian News said, “This restaurant is life and happiness to me. It‟s the best thing there is; the best thing in the world.”IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Benefits of Being BilingualAt one time being bilingual was thought to slow down brain development, although it is now known to have many benefits. Aside from professional and social benefits, studies show that the process of learning a second language actually strengthens some areas of the brain.To start off with, a study done at the University of British Columbia shows that babies exposed to two languages before birth don‟t confuse the languages. Moreover, it showed that the effort it takes to keep the languages separate improves perception.The benefits aren‟t only for people who grow up bilingual, however. Anyone who learns a second language during their lifetime will have certain advantages. For one, Swedish scientists found that the brain grows during language learning, particularly the area where memories are created.Not only does the brain grow, but language learners also improve in many areas. They are good at multitasking while paying detailed attention to each task. Additionally they strengthen their math skills, listening skills, ability to focus, problem-solving skills, reading and vocabulary in their native language, and their memory increases. In the area of math, a study done at the University of Washington shows that bilinguals solve new math problems half a second faster than monolinguals.Language learning also has huge benefits for old age. Brian Gold of the University of Kentucky did a study comparing the ability of bilingual seniors and monolingual seniors to do an attention-switching task. Usually this skill fades with age. However the bilingual seniors performed better than the monolinguals, and their brains worked less hard and more efficiently.Neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) think that having more brainpower at an older age helps protect us from Alzheimer‟s.Current medication for Alzheimer‟s only delays it for 6-12 months, while learning a new language delays it for 4-5 years. Again, this is not only for people who learn a second language from birth. Even if you don‟t learn another language until after middle age it helps. Language learning keeps your brain active and “fit” .V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 他期望父母能参加他的毕业典礼。

Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work — The Underwater Museum of Cannes.―The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.‖The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that the world’s oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the area’s sea grass. Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.―The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,‖ Taylor told Dezeen. ―If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.4. Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?A. To popularize the features of the locals.B. To remind people to protect themselves.C. To reflect people’s protection of the ocean.D. To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.5. What’s paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the project was started.B. How the sea grass was restored.C. What recovery effort the project made.D. Why the surroundings were improved.6. What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A. The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B. The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C. Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D. People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Underwater Museum, a long way to go.B. The Underwater Museum, a big difference to the sea.C. The Underwater Museum, an appeal to conserve ecosystems.D. The Underwater Museum, a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.CAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart’ s desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak (连续成功) now, but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain, and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days, they say. Do not spend too much, live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one’ s money.People often think like this — one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow’ s plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living forthat future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren’ t they? I say travel but don’ t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future. Life is for the living, so live it sensibly.8. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can’t buy everything.9. What does the underlined phrase “refrain from” mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to10. Which of the following opinions would the author agree?A. To enjoy yourself in the right time.B. To wait to travel until we have enough money.C. To go backpacking in our 50s.D. To live for the future.11. What should we do with the earnings according to the author?A. We should save all for rainy days.B. We should fulfill our dreams.C. We should entertain ourselves.D. We should live the present wisely.DBrown cows may not actually make chocolate milk, but pink silkworms（蚕）do produce pink silk, a team of scientists has discovered. To see if they could produce pre-dyed silk-silk that comes color1 ed, straight from the source-the team fed ordinary silkworms mulberry（桑树）leaves that had been sprayed（喷洒）with fabric（织物）dyes（染色剂）. Out of seven tested dyes, only one worked, producing a thread that reminded me of pink-dyed hair.And yes, the worms themselves take on some color1 before they produce silk. Their color1 ful diets did notaffect their growth, the team, which included engineers and biologists from the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory in India, reports in the journalACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. (The researchers didn't look too deeply into how the dyes affected the silkworms' health. After all, silkworms die when people harvest their silk.)The team made dyeing silk this way because color1 ing fabric normally uses large amounts of fresh water. The water gets polluted with dangerous chemicals in the process, requiring costly treatment before factories can send it back into waterways. Dyeing silk directly by feeding silkworms would avoid those water-washing steps. Scientists are just starting to study this idea. However, it remains to be seen if it's commercially successful. In this experiment, the Indian team tested seven dyes, which are cheap and popular in the industry.The scientists found different dyes moved through silkworms' bodies differently. Some never made it into the worms' silk at all. Others color1 ed the worms and their silk but the color1 disappears before the silk is turned into fabric. Only one dye, named "direct acid fast red", showed up in the final, washed silk threads. By the time it made it there, it was a pleasant, light pink.12. The text is most probably a(n) ________.A. science reportB. tourist guideC. animal experimentD. fashion advertisement13. Silkworms can produce pink silk because ________.A. they are born pinkB. they are dyed pinkC. they grow in pink waterD. they are fed dyed food14. Where is the experiment carried out?A. In America.B. In India.C. In Israel.D. In China.15. How many dyes have been proved successful in the experiment?A. One.B. Three.C. Five.D. Seven.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。

These organ transplants are still a decade away, (24)________ ________ experts in the field, and simpler pieces of anatomy will be ready first, starting with skin, muscle, and bone.In the most basic form of 3D printing, a digital blueprint is first made and sent to a printer. Then the printer exudes(渗出) plastic drop-by-drop, layer-by-layer to create the (25)________(desire) shape. However, this basic 3D printing is done using high temperatures, (26)________ would kill live cells. Thus the printers used for bioprinting have been reinvented not to require extreme heat. In this special kind of 3D printing, the printer deposits biodegradable, plastic-like materials to form the structure of an organ and water-based gels that contain cells. Those cells anchor onto the structure, and then the organ (27)________(transplant) into a body. The body provides it with nutrients and oxygen (28)________ the organ tissue generates its own system of blood cells.Although doctors and researchers already have the ability to engineer living tissue and organs, it has always been done manually, which is a laborious process. The advantage of 3D printing is (29)________ it’s much faster, more precise, and more easily reproducible. One ear, for example, takes only 4-6 hours to print at present.Still, there is a lot of work (30)________(do) in the area of transplanting the printed cells.Section BDirections: 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.Oxford English Dictionary Asks Teenagers to Explain Modern Slang Oxford English Dictionary has launched an appeal to teenagers, hoping they can help it get to handle slippery teenage slang such as “hench” and “dank”.Quoting its aim to “record all distinctive words that ___31___ the language, old and new, formal and informal”, the OED said that slang terms were “always challenging” for dictionary editors to track. Young people’s language today is “particularly ___32___ to describe”, because terms change rapidly and communication methods such as WhatsApp and Snapchat have made it more difficult to ___33___ the changing vocabulary.In its youth slang appeal, the dictionary is asking children and teenagers to send in examples of current slang words, either on Twitter at #youthslangappeal or via its website. Adults are also invited to___34___, if they have examples of young people using “words that are ___35___unfamiliar to you— or familiar words in very unfamiliar ways”.O ED senior editor Fiona McPherson said: “Lexicographers(词典编撰者) are used to ___36___ and recording language change. Yet, there’s something particularly innovative about the way that young people adapt ___37___vocabulary to make new words, and in doing so create what seems like a secret lexicon (词汇) to those not in the know.”The OED has been tracking a new sense of the word “bare” for a number of years, it said, citing a 2009 ___38___ fr om Twitter: “Friday is going to be the BUSIEST day of my life I think :) Bare things poppin’ off.” It will publish an entry for the slang term at the end of the year, with a draft version identifying it as chiefly British slang, meaning “many or much; a lot of”. The OED says this usage “appears to have originated in Caribbean English, and ___39___ from the sense ‘nothing but, too much of’”.Other words it will be considering include “dank”, meaning “cool or great”, and “hench”, meaning “fit and muscular”.Words used by younger people “often have a bigger story to tell about ___40___of English used by particular ethnic(种族的) or cultural groups, and their influence on the language as a whole”, said the dictionary, which will be offering UK state schools free access to the OED online for this academic year in conjunction with its appeal.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The universal use of technology has resulted in a constant current of information interrupting the “flow” of our life. This __41__ pattern was initially marketed as “call-waiting” for our phones. But now our eyes, e ars, and fingers are glued to our technology 24/7. We are __42__ by emails, texts, or the news feeds on our Facebook pages. My friend Ron refers to this technology as “weapons of mass distraction.”But how is this mass distraction __43__ our degree of presence and ability to attend to the everyday demands of life? According to a 2010 Kaiser Family Foundation report, children from eight to eighteen spend an average of seven hours and thirty-eight minutes a day using entertainment media. In addition, a study published in the August 2010 issue of Pediatrics found that exposure to __44__ media was associated with attention problems in a sample of 210 college students.The __45__ is just part of the larger picture. Dealing with a crowd of daily text messages and emails makes it difficult for us to be by ourselves when all that activity stops. Although a sense of __46__ is natural at times, our addiction to the nonstop interaction afforded by technology deepens that feeling when access to the technology is unexpectedly __47__. Just think how you feel when you lack cell phone or web access.Is it possible that our obsession with continually checking our emails and text messages has contributed to our __48__ to genuinely relate with others and find enjoyment without constant stimulation?Aside from the impact of technology on our __49__ and our ability to be at ease in the absence of our technology, let’s examine how interacting with our devices __50__ the development of our fundamental communication and social skills. Many researchers observe that everyday conversation between human beings is becoming increasingly__51__.Many of today’s children are growing up with a built-in dependence on devices, making it difficult for them to feel __52__ in everyday social situations. Often they find it __53__ to make eye contact or deal with even the simplest face-to-face interac-tions without the aid of technology as an intermediary(媒介).Over time these children forget how to relate with each other because they have become habituated to using technology to __54__ direct contact with others and life itself. __55__, some neuroscientists believe that use of the internet actually rewires our brains.41.

On the other handSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What first attracted Isabella Springmühl to the word of fashion was her struggle to find clothes that fit her as a person with Down’s syndrome(唐氏综合症). “It was difficult for me to get clothes,” she says.“We have a differ ent body constitution; we are shorter, wider, or very thin. My mother always had to fix the clothes she bought for me.” For that reason she decided to become a fashion designer an d to design clothes that fit people with Down’s syndrome.However, when she first applied to fashion school she was rejected by two universities in her home country of Guatemala. While this might cause some people to give up, for her it was the catalyst(刺激因素) that gave her the energy to follow her dream despite the difficulties. Searching for other possibilities, she decided to attend a sewing academy for women.At the academy she was asked to sew outfits for “worry dolls,” which are traditional Guatemalan dolls that are put under children’s pillows to take away their worries while they sleep. She preferred to sew clothes for life-sized dolls, however, and she began designing jackets with traditional Guatemalan textiles for them. Following that she switched to designing clothes for people, drawing on the rich variety of texture and color present in traditional textiles forinspiration.Isabella’s process of making clothes starts with her picking out antique textiles from Antigua, the ancient capital of Guatemala. From there, the material is taken to her place where she works with her team to create unique clothes. Her goal is to export her brand, Down 2 Xjabelle, all over the world so people can see that men and women with Down’s syndrome can accomplish what they set out to do. Through her work as a designer she also wants to be completely self-sufficient and live on her own.At 20 years old, she is well on her way to achieving her goals. Last year, she was the first person with Down’s syndrome to have his or her clothing line featured in the London Fashion Week. She was also featured on the BBC’s list of 100 inspirational women. This year she’s been invited to events in Miami, Chicago, and possibly Paris.56. Isabella decided to become a fashion designer because ________.A. she was seriously illB. her mother was a designerC. her family wasn't richD. she couldn’t find suitable clothes57. According to the passage, “worry dolls” are ________.A. dolls that can make you carefreeB. fairies who are in charge of dollsC. human-sized dolls with jacketsD. traditional dolls for young girls58. Which of the following best describes Isabella?A. Caring and determined.B. Ambitious and proud.C. Well-educated and energetic.D. Creative and outgoing.59. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Other Side of the Fashion IndustryB. Worries of a Distinguished DesignerC. A Road Less TravelledD. Out with the Old, in with the New(B)By Jackie Wattles @jackiewattlesSeptember 13, 2018: 2:45 PM ETWall Street’s response to Apple’s annual product rel ease on Wednesday was, as one analyst described it, a yawn.The company released a handful of new devices and modest updates, including three new versions of the iPhone X and an Apple Watch with new features. All of that was expected.Apple (AAPL) shares dropped slightly Wednesday, down 1.2%. But it bounced back: The stock was up more than 2% Thursday afternoon.It’s a sign that investors were willing to forgive the dull performan ce on Wednesday in light of Apple’s strong financial outlook, analysts and in vestors told CNN.Ross Gerber, Gerber KawasakiActivist investor Ross Gerber, the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki told CNN’s Julia Chatterley on Thursday that Apple was “basically giving me the same phone again.”He also made fun of the company's live-stream (网络直播), during which Apple displayed a new Apple Watch feature that will alert the police if the wearer falls down.“They’re so out of touch with the consumer,” Gerber said. “Who are you marketing to here? That 70-year-old crowd doesn’t stream anything,” he said, referring to CEO Tim Cook.But a boring presentation on Wednesday wasn’t enough to sour Gerber on Apple’s stock.Daniel Morgan, Synovus Trust CompanyDaniel Morgan, a vice president and senior manager at Synovus Trust Company, said in a phone interview that he wasn’t fascinated with the latest Apple event, either.But as an investor, he’s keen on Apple’s plan to increase the average sales price of its phones with the iPhone XS. That can keep shareholders happy whilecustomers wait for Apple’s next big thing—whenever that may be.60. Apple’s stock performance on Wednesday showed that _____.A. Apple has lost many investorsB. Apple’s economic prospect is reliableC. Apple releases new products regularlyD. Apple’s product release was unexpected61. What did Ross Berber imply when mentioning the new Apple Watch’s alerting function?A. Old people seldom used Apple products.B. The new function would be totally meaningless.C. The new function would add burden to the police force.D. Apple used a wrong medium to target the intended users.62. What does the passage mainly intend to tell us?A. Customers are satisfied with Apple’s new updates.B. The stock of Apple has experienced ups and downs.C. Investors still trust Apple despite its dull new release.D. Apple’s iPhone sales are promoted by the new release.(C)A faked video of Donald Trump shows how AI will make propaganda(宣传) cheap and easy.“DEAR people of Belgium. This is a huge deal…” It sounds like Donald Trump—a bit, anyway. It is definitely a picture of Donald Trump. But the person in the video, produced by sp.a, a left-wing Belgian political party, is not quite the American president. It is a computer-made reproduction, into whose mouth has been put a not-entirely serious lecture about Belgium’s carbon emissions.Faked images are not new. But doing it well is hard, requiring specialists who are scarce and expensive. However, technology is making things cheaper and easier. The video by sp.a is a “deep fake” —which draws on “deep learning”, anartificial-intelligence technique used in everything from recognizing faces to playing Go, a complex board game. To produce a deep fake, all you need is a piece of free software, some pictures of the person whose face you wish to transpose(调换), an existing piece of film to paste it into and a script for your digital creation to read. The computer takes care of the rest.For now, the results are often amateurish(业余的). The video of Mr. Trump is awkwardly indistinct. But that will change. Pictures and video will become like text: easier to fake outright or to shade in subtle ways that overstate or understate what is really happening. The video, sp.a says, was not intended to deceive. The game is given away near the end, when Mr. Trump says: “We all know climate change is fake —just like this video!” But not everyone will be so thorough and careful.This prospect would be worrying at any time. It is particularly unwelcome now. The internet has already offered a cheap and effective way to spread written untruths. Faked videos will be similarly easy to spread, but will be more powerful indeed because people have not yet learned to mistrust film and sound-tracks.What to do? Ideally, people will adapt and the world will be quick to apply the lessons from “fake news”. But that will be hard. Technologies such as encryption (加密) and digital signing can help trace a film or picture back to a trusted source. Fact-checking will devote more time to videos and pictures as digital fakery becomes widespread; but such services can only ever be reactive, making the truth hardly known after a lie that is already halfway across the world.Before the era of mass media, mass literacy and cheap communication, knowledge of the world was foggy. It was a struggle to sort fact from made story. Cheap, high-quality propaganda risks making the truth harder to find. Technology could make the global village feel more like a fearful, distrusting place.63. The example of the video of Donald Trump is adopted to show _____.A. faked images are here to comeB. the US president is not a serious personC. technology has made it harder to tell right from wrongD. artificial intelligence is making cheating more effortless64. What does the underlined word “deceive” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Advocate.B. ExposeC. Mislead.D. Motivate.65. Which of the following is true according to the passage？A. The influence of fake videos will be more destructive than words.B. Fortunately, fake pictures and videos are not hard to tell.C. Technology may prevent an unreliable source of information from being detected.D. People will soon learn lessons from misunderstanding fake news.66. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of fake videos?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Indifferent.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Restaurant in Spain Charges the Rich and Feeds the PoorThere is a new restaurant in Madrid which charges customers during the day, and uses that money to feed the homeless at night. The restaurant is called Robin Hood, like the English hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor. 67 During the day, Robin Hood is a cafe which serves coffee and Spanish croquetas for breakfast and has a lunch menu. Then at night it opens as a fancy restaurant, serving dinner for free to homeless people. This is not like a typical soup kitchen meal. 68 In total, they feed 100 homeless men and women each night. Since opening in November, Robin Hood has become very popular.The restaurant/cafe is run by an organization called Mensajeros de la Paz (in English, “messengers of peace”), which was founded 54 years ago by Father ÁngelGarcía Rodríguez. They have many other projects as well, includinga church that offers free coffee and tea, free wifi, places to sleep, and free lunch and breakfast.69 Currently, the unemployment rate is 20%, and the youth unemployment rate is the highest in Europe.Talking about the restaurant, Father Rodríguez said, “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who’s spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it’s through bread or through work. So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths and proper cutlery and waiters? People with nothing can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else.” 70One night diner who was interviewed by the Guardian News said, “This restaurant is life and happiness to me. It’s the best thing there is; the best thingin the world.”IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Benefits of Being BilingualAt one time being bilingual was thought to slow down brain development, although it is now known to have many benefits. Aside from professional and social benefits, studies show that the process of learning a second language actually strengthens some areas of the brain.To start off with, a study done at the University of British Columbia shows that babies exposed to two languages before birth don’t confuse the languages. Moreover, it showed that the effort it takes to keep the languages separate improves perception.The benefits aren’t only for people who grow up bilingual, however. Anyone who learns a second language during their lifetime will have certain advantages. For one, Swedish scientists found that the brain grows during language learning, particularly the area where memories are created.Not only does the brain grow, but language learners also improve in many areas. They are good at multitasking while paying detailed attention to each task. Additionally they strengthen their math skills, listening skills, ability to focus, problem-solving skills, reading and vocabulary in their native language, and their memory increases. In the area of math, a study done at the University of Washington shows that bilinguals solve new math problems half a second faster than monolinguals.Language learning also has huge benefits for old age. Brian Gold of the University of Kentucky did a study comparing the ability of bilingual seniors and monolingual seniors to do an attention-switching task. Usually this skill fades with age. However the bilingual seniors performed better than the monolinguals, and their brains worked less hard and more efficiently.Neuroscientists(神经系统科学家) think that having more brainpower at an older age helps protect us from Alzheimer’s.Current medi cation for Alzheimer’s only delays it for 6-12 months, while learning a new language delays it for 4-5 years. Again, this is not only for people who learn a second language from birth. Even if you don’t learn another language until after middle age it helps. Languagelearning keeps your brain active and “fit” .V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 他期望父母能参加他的毕业典礼。

All of the team’s members were forced to leave their home countries. Now they’ve come together to compete under the Olympic flag instead.Making it to the Olympics is something eighteen-year-old swimmer Yusra has always dreamed of. But just last year, she was swimming for her life. She and her sister were forced to leave their home in Syria because of the war there. They were trying to get to Greece in a rubber dinghy (橡皮艇) with eighteen other refugees, when their boat broke down and began filling with water. Most of the people on board couldn’t swim, so she and her si ster jumped in to help push it to shore.Three hours later, they made it to safety, and eventually to Germany as refugees. Refugees are people who have left their home country because their lives are threatened by war, bad treatment or violence---often because of their race, gender or beliefs. Around the world, more than 60 million people are in this situation. And some of them, like Yusra, are elite athletes who have trained all their lives to compete at the highest level, only to have that chance taken away.Now, a team of ten, including swimmers, runners, and judokas from Syria, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Congohave been given the chance to compete at the Games under the Olympic flag. They’ve also been given their own coaches, officials, uniforms and a che f, all paid for by the IOC. And in the past few months they’ve been training hard. The IOC says it wants the team to inspire and give hope to other refugees, and draw attention to the issues millions of other around the world are facing. And these guys say they are up to the task whether they win gold or not.“These refugee athletes will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies t hat they have faced, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skills and strength of the human spirit,” the statement continues.66. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. She trained all her life.B. She swam for the glory of life.C. She swam to escape being drowned.D. She swam to escape from other refugees.67.

Their work, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, created the largest data resource on natural genetic variation (变体) for any species of insect.Analyzing the data, the scientists found that the Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes (冈比亚疟蚊) were extremely genetically diverse (多样化的) compared with most other animal species. This high genetic diversity enables rapid evolution, they said, and helps to explain how mosquitoes develop insecticide resistance so quickly.The data also showed the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance appeared to be due to many previously unknown genetic variants (变体) within certain genes. The scientists said these genetic variants for insecticide resistance were not only emerging independently in different parts of Africa, but were also being spread across the continent by mosquito migration.Michael Chew, an expert at Britain's wellcome Trust global health charity which helped fund the research, said the finds underlined the importance of pushing scientific research ahead to control malaria.Global efforts to control malaria through effective vaccine, insecticides and the best drug combinations require urgent, united action by scientists, drug companies, governments and the WHO.73. Which of the following is scientists' headache?A. The number of mosquitoes in Africa is growing rapidly.B. some genetic variants of mosquitoes are still unknown.C. The existing insecticides aren't as effective as they used to be.D. Millions of African people have resistance to medicines for malaria.74. Malaria cases can be cut by ________.A. threatening drug companiesB. spraying insecticidesC. limiting blood donationD. transmitting data75. What CANNOT be concluded from the passage?A. Children are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.B. Many previously unknown variants are found in the study.C. The mosquito migration contributes to the spread of variants.D. Anopheles mosquitoes have great genetic diversity.76. Which is FALSE about the genetic study of mosquitoes?A. It created the largest data on natural genetic variation for any insect species.B. It found the possible causes for the rapid evolution of insecticide resistance.C. It discovered where the genetic variants emerged and how they were spread.D. It highlighted the public efforts and appealed to limit the use of insecticides.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

And sometimes it wa s life’s little blessings: “I’m grateful for good hair after I shower.” Xu started making such lists when she was in college. Now, the 28-year-old YouTuber recommends the practice to her nearly 750, 000 subscribers. (订阅者)It wasn't a hard sell. “I think just over the last few years there's been more of a trend to focus on gratitude,” says psychologist Laurie Santos, who teaches a popular course on the science of happiness at Yale.You can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download apps that remind you to take down your blessings. “Those types of products can remind us to take time to be grateful,” Santos says.And noting your gratitude seems to pay off. ______78______. Studies have found that giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. In another study, high school students who were asked to keep gratitude journals also reported healthier eating. There's also some evidence it could lower your risk of heart disease and reduce symptoms of depression for some people._____79______. “It's one of the practices that really win out (终获成功) from the field of positive psychology,” she says, “because it takes very little time, and the benefits are so powerful.”Making gratitude lists is just one way of enjoying those benefits. The best way of expressing gratitude may be different for each person. You could choose to keep your gratitude private or share it with others.However, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, there's also evidence that it isn't for everyone. And it isn't a cure-all. It can't make injustice (不公平), loss or pain disappear. _____80______. “The research shows that focusing on the positive can improve our mood more than we expect,” according to Santos.第II卷I.

But when I got to the bottom, I felt happy and relieved．I thanked my dad for forcing me to go on the ride, and I was pleased I had faced my fears．So, was the "Sky Screamer" scary? Well, maybe just a little bit．65．What made the writer finally decide to ride the "Sky Screamer'?A．Her father's encouraging words．B．Her interest in the ride．C．Her desire to face her fear．D．Her father's nagging．66．What did the writer do during the ride?A．She kept looking down．B．She kept hold of the handlebar．C．She was too frightened to scream．D．She squeezed her father's hand tightly．67．Which of the following is TRUE?A．The writer volunteered to take the ride because she wanted to face her fears．B．The writer's father forced her to ride with him in order to help her with her fears．C．The ride was less scary on the way down．D．The ride offered the writer a chance to face and conquer her fears．68．What is the passage mainly about?A．A trip to Marineland．B．Facing a fear．C．A ride to the top of the "Sky Screamer"．D．A joyful ride on the "Sky Screamer"．（B）I was waiting for a phone call from my agent．He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled．I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later．So I waited and waited, but there was still no call．Three hours passing by, I became more and more and impatient．I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and he didn't care about me．I was overcome with that thought．I started to shout at the phone, "Let me wait, will you? Who doyou think you are?"At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on．Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket．I stood watching her, speechless．What on earth．．．?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room - if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!"Then she turned to me．She kissed me and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control．" With that, she left the room．After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed．I was laughing．How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things．Twenty minutes later my agent did call．I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly．69．Why did the author shout at the telephone?A．He was mad at the telephone．B．He was angry with his agent．C．He was anxious about his wife．D．He was impatient with the secretary．70．What did the author's wife do after she heard his shouting?A．She said nothing．B．She shouted at him．C．She called the agent．D．She threw the phone away．71．What does the underlined word "antics" refer to?A．Smart words．B．Unusual actions．C．Surprising Looks．D．Anxious feelings（C）There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable．At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified．Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems．Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast．Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down．They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth．These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world's population．As societyreaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease．People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world．They believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world．Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization．This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry．If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored．To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another．72．According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______．A．our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industryB．the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continue C．the world population is ever increasingD．more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life73．Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth .A．is essential to the well-being of society as a wholeB．can provide the solution to many of our social problems todayC．can protect our environment from being polluted by industryD．can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization74．The passage is mainly about ______．A．the contradiction between economists and the business communityB．the present debate on economic growthC．the advantages and disadvantages of economic growthD．the importance of the debate on economic growth75．We may infer from the passage that _______．A．the author describes the case as it isB．the author is for economic growthC．the author is against continued economic growthD．the author is very much worried about the problems caused by continued（D）The Earth has a force that pulls things toward itself．We call this force gravity．This is something we live with all the time, and hardly ever think about it．But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must be overcome if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all．Take the throwing of a ball as an example．The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go．What is the secret? Its speed．If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down．The speed at which it would have to be thrown to do this is known as escape speed．Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed, required to escape completely from the Earth's gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour．Once escape speed has been reached by a spaceship, no further power is needed．A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will "coast" the rest of the way because the Earth's gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance in space to slow it down．This "coasting" is known as "free fall"．That does not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the help of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill．Free fall is an important feature of space travel：it would be impossible to carry enough oil to supply powered flight all the time．（76—79题请做在答题纸上，答题卡上76—79空白不作答）76．How fast will a rocket escape completely from the Earth's gravity?77．As there is always the Earth's gravitational pull, people ．78．When a bicycle "coasts" downhill, it ．79．Why is it unnecessary to supply power for the flight in space all the time?Section CDirections：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．（80—84题请按试卷题号顺序，填涂在答题卡相应题号上）Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. Here are some hints for reading effectively.80． Don't choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read ．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly ．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often ．It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary ．It has no fan at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help ．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading ．So it's better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page ． 81． If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible ．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text ． This ability is quite necessary in reading ．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your "success", and your interest in reading is well stimulated ．If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then ．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its "troublesome image"．82To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues ．Try to scribble some lines - a very short journal, to express your ideas ．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive ．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors ．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．83．Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English ．Don't merely take English as a "test"．Take it as an "entertainment" instead and you will enjoy it through learning ．Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like ．Try to read them as loudly and unpassionedly as you can. During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also yourpronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved ．84The last but not the least, keep on reading ．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.第Ⅱ卷（45分）Ⅰ．Translation （Directions: Translate the follow sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．他所说的话深深地留在了我的记忆中。
