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.

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。
