" the boy askedHe ran up the steps． In a little while he came back． carrying his little disabled brother． He sat him down on the bottom step． and pointed to the car．"Buddy just like I told you upstairs． His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent． And some day I'm going to give y ou one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about．"Paul got out and lifted the boy into the front seat of his car． The older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride． That Christmas Eve． Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said． "It is more blessed to give than to receive．"（1）The boy wishes that________．A he could own a shiny new car one dayB his brother would give him a car as a presentC he could buy a car for his disabled brotherD Paul would give him the car．（2）Why did the boy ask Paul to drive him home？________A To show his neighbors he could ride home in a big car．B To get home early and tell his brother his exciting experience．C To show his brother the possibility of getting acar from him as a present． D To fully enjoy the comfort and convenience of owning a car．（3）Why did the boy wish that he could be that brother？________A Because he hopes to be a rich man and live a luxurious life．B Because he wants his brother to sec the outside world with his own eyes．C Because he wishes to have a healthy brother like Paul．D Because he expects his brother to be envied by others．．（4）From the last sentence， we can infer （推断） that Paul________．A felt happy to offer the rideB regretted accepting the carC would buy his brother some presentsD would love Jesus more．5.How to get your tax refundAt the store（1）Whom is the above information intended for？________A EU residents who want to get their tax refunded．B Non﹣EU residents who are going to travel in EU．C EU residents who have Global Blue Tax FreeForms． D Non﹣EU residents who are leaving EU after purchases．．（2）To get your tax refund， you need to________ after having your luggage checked in if you've put your purchased goods in your check﹣in luggage．A show your purchased goods to the check﹣in clerkB cash in your stamped Form at the check﹣in counterC take back your luggage to the Customs to get a stampD go to the Customs to fill in a form without the luggage．（3）What can be learned from the passage？________A It's a must to attach the receipts to the form to get your tax refundB It's unnecessary to show your passport to the Customs for a stamp．C You can get your refund in cash after posting your form if in a hurry．D You can get your refund by credit card at once at the appropriate counter．6. "Don't tell anyone"． We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us． But it can be hard to keep a secret．We′re often tempted to "________", even if we regret it later． According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well "become a burden"． This is because people often have an "obsessive（无法摆脱的）and anxious urge to share it with someone"．An earlier study, led by Anita E． Kelly, a scientist at the University of NotreDame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress． People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail．But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend． Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them． A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other． "Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, " according to Shah．He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out． But this doesn't mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people． A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside． To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret．Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you'd better put yourself in their position Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn't give the information away． Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone's secret you should come clean about it． Let the person know that their secret isn't so secret anymore．（1）The underlined phrase "spill the bean" is closest in meaning to________．A let out a secretB tell the truthC eat our wordsD take gossip．（2）A person who is entrusted with a secret________．A is often obsessed with a certain threatB often would rather not have been told about itC usually has a strong desire to keep it until deathD may suffer from physical or psychological problems．（3）What's the best title for the passage？________A Walls have ears．B Still tongues make wise heads．C A word spoken is past recalling．D Every wall has a crack．Directions： Read the following passage and fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.7."Any apples today？" Effie asked cheerfully at my window． I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo． On credit， of course． Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then．（1）________All pretense （借口） of payment was dropped when our funds， food and funds decreased to alarming lows． Effie came often， always bringing some gift： a jar of peaches or some firewood． There were other generosities．（2）________Effie was not a rich woman． Her income， derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop． had never exceeded ﹩200 a month， which she supplemented by selling her apples． But she always managed to help someone poorer．Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time． She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year． "Here， darling，" I said， "is what l owe you．"（3）________"Give it back as I gave it to you﹣﹣a little at a time．" I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt．The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie， for she died a few weeks later． By now， the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times． But a curious thing began to happen．Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble， I was moved to help him． I can't afford to do this always， but in the ten years since Effie's death， I have indirectly repaid my debt to her．（4）________ At that time， it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled． So the account can never be marked closed． for Effie's love will go on in hearts that have never known her．Verb filling（5′）8. （.We really regret________ （say） that you are wrong．9. （.Mr． Smith did all he could________ （improve） his family's living standard．10. （.Mr． Wang made up his mind to devote all he could to________ （improve） his oral English before going abroad．11. （.________ （expose） to the English broadcast can do a lot of good to your English study．12. （.By the time you arrive in London， we________ （stay） in Europe for two weeks．13. （.He________ （seat） himself at the desk， writing a letter．14. （.We found it no good________ （make） fun of others．15. （.This kind of doors________ （lock） easily．16. （.Travelling around China can be________ （tire） but fun as well．17. （.Unfortunately， the element Madam Curie devoted all her life to________ （cause） her death．Phrases （10′）18.（1）The thick forest is________ birds， animals and plants．（2）Because of the dense fog this morning， the flight didn't take off________．（3）She was grateful________．（4）To be heard in a large square， you have to shout________ your voice（5）He________ report his work to his boss at least once every month．（6）Nowadays， experts________ the learning and popularizing of Shanghai dialect．（7）Information network extends________．（8）In the rush hours of big cites， public transportation is always________ people．（9）I have been to lots of places in China， such as Beijing， Xi' an， and Guilin，________．（10）More and more beautiful scenery gradually________ when we were on the bus．Translation（13'=3+3+3+4）19. 不在房间的时候别让灯开者．（when）________20. 20世纪80年代出现了不断增长的失业现象．（witness）________21. 那个勇敢的年轻人冒着生命的危险去救溺水的孩子．（risk）________22. 他父亲不同意他整天浪费时间坐在电脑屏幕后面．（approve）________2018-2019学年上海市某校高一（下）期末英语试卷答案1. is regarded,was born,when,with,What,Having read,could,that2.

He also wrote many new plays, designing the dances himself. The many dances he created form part of the great treasure that he left to PekingOpera.

Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants 'life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(not lived by people). People also live outside oases( 绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on thedesert plants and do not need much water. The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, pat them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.59. According to the passage, deserts are mostly made up ofA. clayB. rockC. stonesD. sand60.

However, none of them come even close to Holi, India 's most colorful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the full moon, this year 's festival happens to be on March 19th.As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe —Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to beimmune（免疫的） to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with her inside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika is burned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to clean the air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil. So what 'sso great about this day? While there are some fun parades（游行） and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing（泼洒） people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody is fair game, no matter how old or how young.At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and awell-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.64. Why does the king dislike his son Prahlada?A. Because Prahladadoesn 't love him.B. Because Prahlada is rude to Holika.C. Because Prahlada loves Lord Vishnu.D.

At 13 ，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgement and I begged my parents to let me go.We have never been rich ，but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald D ahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational. After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a worl d of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when every one else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. The re's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration wh en you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytel lers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of th e world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil a mong those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest character s ever.1. Who does "I" refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl.2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.3. What kind of book is Gone Girl?A.A folk tale.B.A biography.C.A love story.D.A horror story.BI suffered from mental illness and depression when I was you nger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life i n a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depressi on. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on.At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness . I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough stre ngth to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped withmy situation.What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to g o out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventuall y the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depre ssion. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my s tudies, and get through university.My advice to anyone who might be going through something li ke I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it c hanges, and you never know what might come your way. If so meone had said to me during those dark moments that I woul d have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have e ver believed it.Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s al ways someone, or something, out there to help you.4. How did the author deal with his depression at first?A. He turned to his old friends for help.B. He talked about it with his parents.C. He put up with it by himself.D. He r ead many articles about it.5. How did street dancing benefit the author?A. It helped him find a good job.B. It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.C. It let him find many true friends.D. It cheer ed him up and made him feel positive.6. What does the author suggest people do when they feel do wn?A. Always be confident in themselves.B. Find someone or something to rescue them.C. Wait for help to come patiently.D. Accept every thing that life sends their way,7. How might the author feel about his future?A. Hopeful.B. Fearful.C. Satisfied.D. Uncertain.CRecently, American President Trump announced his budget. One of the budgets would cut all money to the Institute of Mus eum and Library services and libraries across the United Stat es. However, as far as I'm concerned, we need to save our lib raries.Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They encourage literacy (识字）with summer programs. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. Witho ut them, where will kids with no Internet at home do their hom ework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We ne ed them so that kids can grow up with a place, other than sch ool , where learning and exploration is encouraged.For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the I nternet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also se rve as a place to pick up a book and learn something new. W hat’s more，they can also borrow a book and get away from it all. Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an age of alternative (选择性的）facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, w e need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educat e ourselves on the facts and hold the government responsible for them. We need them to have strong public participation. If you agree with me，you shouldn’t be silent on this issue. You can write or call dire ctly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also writ e to both your state Senators (参议员）and your district representative. If you do not know who they a re, you can find out here. Let them know this is a beneficial is sue because all people use public libraries in their daily life. 8.The author thinks that Trump’s decision about his budget is ___________.A. difficultB. practicalC. personalD. wrong9.Unlike kids, adults use libraries to ________.A. surf the InternetB. borrow some booksC. do social activitiesD. explore the world10. Which statement about libraries does the author agree wit h?A. Libraries play a more important role nowadays.B. Information can be stored in libraries forever.C. Government needs libraries more than before.D. Science should be learned in our libraries.11. What is the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph ?A. To call on us to disagree with the government’s decision.B. To call on us to fight with the American president.C. To encourage us to talk about the issue.D. To persuade us to agree with his viewpoints.DDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Someti mes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind. Ins tead, you might want to try sitting back, relaxing and letting yo ur mind wander. Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in ne ed of a new idea, try daydreaming.Researchers from the university of California, Santa Barbara, found an association between daydreaming and creative prob lem-solving. Their study includes having participants first do an “u nusual-use task”. They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four thi ngs before doing the “unusual-use task” again: complete a difficult task; complete an easy ta sk; take a 12-minute break; or skip the 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again. Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the res earchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped u nlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creat ive ways? The answer is something known as “unconscious t hought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a pr oblem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thin king about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control, it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you al ways have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.12. The “unusual-use task” in Paragraph 2 means that participants ______.A. complete an easy taskB. complete a very difficult taskC. take a 12-minute breakD. think of various ways to use an object13. Why did the participants who completed the easy task per form best?A. They were not actively working to solve the easy task.B. They daydreamed and it helped them be more creative.C. They were daydreaming while performing the difficult task.D. They skipped the 12-minute break to complete the task again.14. What does the underlined phrase “unconscious thought” i n Paragraph 5 mean?A. Your brain wander in a subtle way within your control.B. Your brain knows clearly what you’re thinking and doing.C. Your brain is thinking about a problem outside of your awar eness.D. Your brain refuses to receive any information from the outs ide world.15. The passage mainly wants to tell us that ______.A. brainstorming is important to creative ideasB. daydreaming is a way to improve creativityC. problem-solving skills are important in our livesD. the more we exercise brains, the more ideas we’ll get第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Start saying it now,even if you’re speaking to an empty room.Once you’ve put in the time___34___,discerning what kind of opportunity you’re seeking,keep your eyes open,because opportunity has an unexpected way of___35___.2Realize that you’ll never be totally___36___(In other words,you may fail.)Even if you’re a professional figure skater who has put in10,000hours of ice time,it will still feel___37___ to take the ice for your Olympic program-you may hit a rough patch and fall flat.Most of the world will see your stumble as a reason for you to give up.However,the best skaters take a___38___and keep going with a smile.I’s tough to smile right after you’ve made a mistake,but think of it this way:Is there anything a(n)___39___loves better than a good comeback?Asauthor Mark Batterson writes,“Our best days often start out as our worst days.And our greatest opportunities are often___40___as our biggest problems.”3Anthropomorphize the critical voices and then put a lid on them.“You can’t do it”and“You’re ridiculous to even____41____.”...The critical voices of your teachers and the not-so-____42____friends are all in your head when you’re trying to seize an opportunity.Instead of letting their negativity take control,try to____43____one of the voices and imagine it as a mouse.

D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dear Cutie-Pie,Recently,I was searching for an answer on Google.Half way through entering the question.Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world.At the top of the list was“How to keep him interested.”Surprised a lot,1scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual,when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich,and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.And I got angry.Little One,it is not,has never been,and never will be your job to“keep him interested.”Little One,your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss-that you are worthy of interest.If you can trust your worth in this way,you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world:you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.Little One,I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested,because he knows you are interesting.I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you.I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you.I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart.I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart.I don’t care about the color of his skin.I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.Little One,if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common,we will have the most important thing in common:You.Because in the end,Little One,the only thing you should have to do to“keep him interested”is to be you.Your eternally interested guy47.What annoyed the writer when he was surfing on the Internet?A.“How to keep him interested”is most frequently searched,B.Girls are rejected constantly even if they try to please boys.C.The upsetting list of know-how to please boys provided for girls.D.People think girls should give priority to pleasing their boys.48.According to the writer,to attract a boy,the girl just needs to__________.A.add to her own sexual attractionB.have full confidence in her own worthC.invest time in caring for her loved oneD.find a boy to interest her for her lifetime49.What is of fundamental importance that the boy is expected to have in common with the writer?A.He will be responsible for the girl.B.He will like the girl for what she is.C.He will hold the girl in high respect.D.He will earn enough to support his family.50.The writer of the letter is__________of the addressee Cutie-pie.A.the

Women will forget to rock the cradle.Boys and girls will neglect any sport or game.Try it sometime and see how it grips all kinds and all ages.And the reason is that none of us ever really grows up.We are always boys and girls,a little older in years,but with the same nature—alert to the new,questioning,investigating,growing,living;stirred by martial music;thrilled by the sight of the fire-houses dashing madly down the street;lured by tales of subtle intrigue(阴谋)and splendid daring.It would be sad if men and women ever lost this capacity to be attracted by tales of heroism.The man whose heart leaps for joy at the sight of a heroic deed is the man who will act the hero when his turn comes.No,the love of adventure will never be lost.It is a fundamental part of human nature,just as sentiment(感情)is.So we reasoned that a magazine edited for this universal hunger of human nature for adventure ought to have a wide appreciation and appeal,and we decided to publish such a magazine and call it ADVENTURE.It is published as a magazine wherein thousands of men and women can find adventure without being obliged to read through large amounts of stuff they care little about for the sake of getting a little they care a lot about, which is frankly made for the hours when the reader cannot work,or does not wish to,or is too weary to work and made for the reader’s recreation rather than his or her creative hours.If you care for stirring stories(and who does not?)—if you wish to get away for a brief time from the hard grind of the daily mill so that you can come back to it again with renewed passion and courage to walk through the knotty problems and nagging limitations,get a copy of Adventure.You can get away for such a trip every month for15cents or you can get a season ticket entitling you to twelve trips for$1.50.No other kind of story in the magazine;just Adventure Stories.Fact-stories as well as fictionstories.If you don’t like that kind,don’t buy;but if you do like that kind,Adventure is sure to delight you.54.Which of the following statement is TURE about man’s sense of adventure?A.People are increasingly attracted by adventures as they grow.B.The sense of adventure is rooted in a childhood curiosity.C.Adventure stories are more attractive when told with sentiment.D.Only children with curiosity grow into adults fond of adventures.55.What’s the meaning of“grip”in the first paragraph?A.to draw a clear line betweenB.to capture the attention ofC.to affect the way people thinkD.to give equal treatment to56.In what way does the writer think the magazine ADVENTURE can affect its readers?A.It reminds its work-burdened life driven readers of good old days.B.It helps them regain their adventurous selves lost in tough life.C.It offers a refreshing escape from long weary working hours.D.It encourages them to face the toughness of life and work.57.What is NOT TRUE about the purchase of Adventure?A.One can buy one copy for15cents.B.Adventure is available one issue a month,C.It contains fictional and true stories.D.Season ticket holders can enjoy free tours.58.What is the main purpose of this article?A.To instruct publishers in how to produce a popular magazine.B.To explore the psychological cause and impact of adventure.C.To attract potential readers by giving the editorial philosophy.D.To recommend to working people a refreshing way of recreation.Section C(4’)Directions:（Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.）Many of today’s young people have a difficult time seeing any moral element in their actions.There are a number of reasons why that’s true,but none more influential than an approach that fails to teach children the traditional moral values that bind our country together as a society and a culture.That failed approach,called “decision-making”introduced25years ago,tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong. It replaced“character education”,which encouraged them to practice habits of courage,justice and self-control._____59_____.Decision-making curriculums pose moral dilemmas(两难)to students,leaving them with the impression that all questions of right and wrong are in dispute._____60_____.The assumption behind this method is that students will arrive at good moral conclusions if only they are given the chance.But the actual result is moral confusion.A recent national study revealed that a majority of boys considered rape to be acceptable under certain conditions. Astoundingly,many of the girls agreed.This kind of moral illiteracy is further encouraged by values-education programs that are little more than courses in self-esteem.______61______.But it is just as reasonable to make an opposite assumption:namely,that a child who has uncritical self-regard will conclude that he or she can’t do anything bad.Such naive self-acceptance results in large part from the non-directive,non-judgmental,as-long-as-you-feel-comfortable-with-your-choices mindset that has dominated public education for the last two and one-half decades.Many of today’s drug education,sex education and values-education courses are based on the same1960s philosophy that helped fuel the explosion in teen drug use and sexual activity in the first place.It is time to throw the trend of“decision making”and“non-judgmentalism”to the ash heap of failed policies and return to a proved method.Character education provides a much more realistic approach to moral formation. ______62______.A.A common approach of these programs is to provide a list of principles,pillars,values or virtues,around which themed activities are planned.B.These programs are based on the questionable assumption that a child who feels good about himself or herself won’t want to do anything wrong.C.A person who exhibits personal qualities a society considers desirable is considered to have good character--and developing such qualities is often seen as a purpose of education.D.In the1940s,when character education prevailed,teachers worried about students chewing gum;today they worry about robbery and rape.E.Youngsters are encouraged to question values and virtues they’ve never acquired in the first place or upon which they have only a weak hold.F.It is built on an understanding that we learn morality not by debating it but by practicing it.IV.Grammar in passage(10)Directions:（After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,useone word that best fits each blank.）For many of us,it’s easy to tell if it’s a computer that is calling you on your phone.Its voice makes it obvious ______63______it has the chance to finish telling you that you can get a free loan or that you are invited for a customer survey.It’s also easy to hang up-it’s just a computer,after all.______64______Google Duplex,an artificial intelligence(AI)voice assistant,has shown that computers are able to“conduct a natural conversation with a human over the phone and complete simple real-world tasks,”reported tech site Wired.On May8during its annual developer conference Google IO,the company showed Duplex making phone calls and having full conversations,______65______it made an appointment with a hair dresser,before making a reservation at a restaurant.As CNET noted,not only has Google changed the typical______66______(computerize)voice,but the company has taken“extra steps to disguise the system to sound______67______(much)like a human”.Duplex comes with imperfections-“umms”and“uhhs”-and uses typical human phrasing such as“Oh,gotcha.”As a result,“the receptionists on the other end of the call have no idea they are conversing back and forth______68______AI,”commented CNET.Some see Duplex as quite_____69_____breakthrough-it will be able to help humans cut down on boring tasks.But for the rest,it“straddles(跨越)a fine line between being convenient and deceptive,”as Wired wrote. People have a hard enough time knowing whether news is real or fake,or what photos are______70______(trust). And now,we may not be able to trust our own ears.Google also mentioned that soon,Duplex will be able to imitate the owner’s voice.While this is a great step forward in AI,it also raises many concerns.For example,students______71______use Duplex to call their school to pretend they’re sick by using their mother’s or father’s voice.Since people are shocked by the fact that a machine can imitate a human so well,Google has promised that in the future the voice will tell the listener that it’s not a real person.According to Alexander Rudnicky,a researcher of human-computer speech interaction at Carnegie Mellon University,technology like this is________72________that people are only going to become more aware of."We just assimilate(吸收this interaction into our culture,"he told Wired.V.Translation(3+4+4+5=16’)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.73.就像苦口的良药，中肯的建议往往不受最需要它的人欢迎。

After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not e. Finally, I gathered some courage.I thought, “If I miss this opportunity, surely the school will never invite me again to any of their progra ms.”I reached the school in time. Before my turn came, my whole body was trembling. When my turn came and I started speaking, my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry. I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly.

That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness, public speaking.After my speech, I met with the principal and explained what happened to me. He told me that this happens to everyone. Even great speaker faced the same things when they started. He suggested that I e again next time.Around one month later, I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation. This time I was fee ling fortable. My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers, because I was able to get my idea across to them. They encouraged and praised my efforts.After delivering this presentation successfully, I became more confident. I said to myself, “If I can speak in front of such a learned audience, like the principal who educate s others, I can now speak in front of others too.”I started delivering lectures on various topics like Self-Motivation, Personality Development, Personal Excellence, Spoken English and Presentation Skills.
