第I卷（选择题）一、完形填空The Music Industry — A New IndustryNot long ago, most professional musicians lived in a world far removed from business management, distribution and promotion. But today, social media, laptop production techniques and musical tastes have largely 1 the old relationship between musicians, their audiences and the marketplace.A leading U.S. conservatory（音乐学院）now teaches students how to 2 successful careers in this new world. Robert Sirota, president of New York’s famous Manhattan School of Music, takes a small break from his work to play one of his own 3 . It’s one moment of traditional musical expression in a conservatory that 4 that the music industry is in major change.“Everything we know about the 5 of music-making, and the industry of music —including recordings, published materials, concert places, the way people enjoy the performance and concerts —have changed rapidly in the last 20 years,” he says, “and it became clear to me and other people of like mind to 6 how to develop young artistic leaders who are truly 7 of making their way in this new world.”That’s why the Manh attan School of Music created the Center for Music Enterprise, where students can learn about new media, fundraising, 8 their own concert series, producing their own recordings, creating a package for the media and other necessary skills. Sirota, who completed his own conservatory education in the 1970s, 9 today’s Internet world with what used to be.“The 10 as we understood in the music world, was that there were a small numberof major international symphony orchestras, there were some excellent performers, and there was an 11 audience of concertgoers,” he says. “There were in addition, severalmulti-national record companies. But what has happened is the way people listen to music has changed.” Klorman knows that many young musicia ns are worried about the information needed to 12 a successful career today. However, he says the current climate rewards personal initiative and imagination as never before. And if we are creative about putting together new 13 , we can carve out a whole new market for ourselves.The 14 at the Center for Music Enterprise are among the most popular at the Manhattan School of Music. In fact, the supply is not 15 to the demand and the program is expanding. This success has in turn inspired other conservatories to teach business skills for tomorrow’s musical careers.1．A．sponsored B．replaced C．constructed D．competed 2．A．create B．undertake C．reflect D．arrange 3．A．compositions B．solutions C．projects D．channels 4．A．claims B．appeals C．declares D．recognizes 5．A．event B．item C．business D．affair 6．A．figure out B．carry on C．make up D．set about 7．A．aware B．capable C．ignorant D．independent 8．A．inventing B．transferring C．searching D．launching 9．A．associates B．differs C．contrasts D．varies 10．A．situation B．fight C．statement D．disaster 11．A．established B．constructed C．founded D．instructed 12．A．remain B．insist C．persevere D．sustain 13．A．customs B．traditions C．opportunities D．purposes 14．A．courses B．activities C．responsibilities D．contracts 15．A．suitable B．adequate C．exact D．crucial二、阅读理解American View On BusinessHenry Ford, a famous American inventor and carmaker, once said: American business is business. What he meant by this is that the American way of life is based on the values of thebusiness world.Few would argue with Ford’s statement. A brief look at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily.In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “the entertainment industry” or “show business.”The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the wealth that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Many jobs are produced because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the w ord business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business — referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor arguments are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. The laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high creates feelings of insecurity for many.16．According to the passage, the United States is a typical country ___________. A．which encourages free trade at home and abroadB．which normally works according to the federal budgetC．where all businesses are managed scientificallyD．where people’s chief concern is how to make m oney17．Why do immigrants choose to settle in the United States according to the passage?Because they think that ____________.A．they can start profitable businesses thereB．they can find more and better ways to make a livingC．they will make a fortune overnight thereD．they can be more competitive in business18．Why can Henry Ford’s statement be taken negatively according to the passage? A．Because working people are discouraged to fight for their fights. B．Because public services are not run by the federal government. C．Because there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists. D．Because there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor. 19．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．In the big business there are fewer arguments between labor and management. B．The negative effects of business news will increase employment opportunities. C．Keeping lower costs and higher profits could leave many unemployed.D．In the world of arts and entertainment ther e is always a rise in workers’ wages.A Brief History Of Waterstone’s20．According to the passage, who is the most likely to be the managing director of Waterstone’s in the near future?A．Mr. Waterstone B．John BanvilleC．James Daunt D．Simon Fox21．What does the word “intuition” mean in the passage?A．instinctive knowledge B．mental imageC．calm consideration D．indirect suggestion22．Which one of the following is not true according to the passage?A．At present the brand Waterstone’s belongs to HMV.B．During the economy declines, the book market was hit and sales were poor.C．Wa terstone’s has long been the largest bookstore chain in the U.K and Ireland.D．Mr. Waterstone made £41,000 when he transferred the chain to WH Smith.How Should School Education Be Reformed?The state of public school facilities in the United States is a matter of great concern to educators and administrators. While the mission of public schools has expanded beyond education to include social support and extra-curricular activities, the academic schedule has changed little in more than a century. A report on time and learning released today by the state education committee says saving school time for academic teaching and moving away from the time-limited tradition of education are crucial steps in the school reform process.The committee’s report, entitled Time Prisoner, described fixed clocks and calendars inAmerican education as a fundamental design problem that urgently needs to be changed. “Time should serve children instead of children serving time.” the report says. The two-year committee found that holding American students to world-class standards will require more time for classroom instruction. “We have been asking the impossible of our students that they learn as much as their foreign peers while spending half as much as in core academic subjects.” it states.The committee compared the relationship between time and learning in Japan, Germany and the United States and found that American students received less than half of the basic academic education received by Japanese and German students. On average, American students can earn a high school diploma if they spend only 41 percent of their school time on academics, says the report. American students spend an average of three hours a day on core academics such as English, math, science, and history, the committee found. Their report recommends offering a minimum of 5.5 hours of academics every school day.The nine-member committee also recommended extending the daily school hours beyond the traditional six hours. “If schools want to continue offering important activities outside the academic core, as well as serving as a center for family and community services, they should keep school doors open longer each day and each year.” says John Hodge Jones, education official of schools in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and chairman of the committee. The typical school year in American public schools is 180 days. Eleven states allow school years of 175 days or less, and only one state requires more than 180 days.“For over a decade, education reformers have been workin g excitedly to improve our schools,” says Milton Goldberg, executive director of the committee. “But... if reform is to truly take hold, the six-hour, 180-day school year should go into museums — an exhibit from our education past.”23．Compared with the academic courses more than a hundred years ago, the academic courses now ___________.A．include some extra-curricular activitiesB．remain much of what they used to beC．demand students’ more contribution of timeD．focus more on education of social support24．The researches by the committee mentioned in the passage are most concerned about__________.A．the fashion of education managementB．the elements of school educationC．the changes in education in the recent centuryD．the time devoted to academic learning25．As it is mentioned in the passage, schools in the U.S.A do the following except__________.A．provide important outside-academic activitiesB．have competition with schools of other countriesC．arrange six-hour teaching and learning every dayD．serve social units such as family and community26．Executive director of the committee Milton Goldberg would most probably disagree that ___________.A．the time of school day and school year should be reducedB．what the education reformers have done is not good enoughC．visiting museums can improve students’ academic learning abilityD．social support and extra-curricular activities should be cancelled第II卷（非选择题）三、语法填空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, use one word that best fits each blank.Should Video Games Be Art?Back in April this year, film critic Roger Ebert decided to handle the topic of the cultural importance of video games from the perspective of whether they could ever be regarded as art. Clearly, Ebert 27．(convince) that no game so far could even dream of being considered as coming close to a work of art.In today’s post, Ebert returns to the topic to put an end to the debate that has been going on ever since: though he stands by 28．he believes in — namely that, at least in theory and principle, video games will never be art —he can now admit that he shouldn’t have expressedhis opinion without knowing what he was talking about. And that is his biggest mistake, as far as he is concerned, 29．he expressed a judgment on a public forum（论坛）without having played a single video game — and all the while 30．(insist) that was the last thing on his wish list. He approached the matter strictly from a theoretical point of view and that’s not fair 31．the gaming industry — or the gamers who took offense, for that matter.“I was a fool for mentioning video games in the first place. I would never express an opinion on a movie I hadn’t seen. Yet I have declared that video games 32．never be Art. I still believe this, but I should never have said so. Some opinions are best kept to yourself. So far, 4,547 comments 33．(rain) down upon me for that blog entry. Perhaps 300 supported my position. The rest were united in opposition. What you see now posted are almost all of the comments 34．(send) in. They are mostly intelligent, well-written, and right about one thing in particular: I should not have written that entry without being more familiar with the actual experience of video games,” Ebert writes about the very post 35．started the debate.Most posters pointed to him that he was also doing so without as much as offering a clear definition of Art. “36．gamers experience video games as a form of art, does that not automatically make them so？” some said. Others, tired of rea ding what others had argued before them, were simply content to say “Ebert doesn’t get it.”四、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Using Plants To Generate ElectricityAs free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with green power. Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered 37．to charge their cell-phones, while sitting in their school’s outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an aha moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants,” said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “Why don’t you have a socket, if there are so many plants? After that, we thought, why don’t they have a charger? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the 38．to produceenergy, why not?”Their invention — a small 39．current they call E-Kaia — uses the energy plants produce during photosynthesis. A plant uses only a part of that energy — the rest goes into the soil, and that’s where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone. Mauricio Cifuentes of Duoc University said, “It’s the most amazing 40．I’ve ever seen in my life, plain and simple. At least from my personal point of view I began to 41．them. It was transformatio nal.”The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones. “Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no 42．, and the mobile phones, we weren’t able to fin d anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,” said Aravena. But plants are everywhere, and the bio-circuit taps into their excess power. “There is a complete energy cycle of the plant. We 43．to make use of the cycle, then we would not affect the plant’s growth. The bio-circuit makes an acquisition and that is 44．into energy to later make charges for low consumption,” said inventor Camila Rupcich.The E-Kaia doesn’t carry much charge but it’s powerful enough to 45．recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours. The student inventors have applied for patents on their 46．, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in the near future.五、六选四Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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.Kick Your Way To SuccessNo man in the world does not desire success. Actually every path to success starts with a great idea. There’s only one problem: good ideas are everywhere. When successful, what really matters is not having an idea, but having the courage to make it a reality. This usually means losing the sense of security of a normal job and the risk of getting a steady salary.Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be worthless unless you are willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and the action steps you will take to pursue those goals. 47．Share it with others, so they will hold you accountable for achievingyour plan. Make yourself responsible and master of your destiny.Without passion, even the greatest vision will become weaker. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you meet with inevitable obstacles. 48．It’s the force allowing you to devote every moment of your workday to bring you closer to the success you are eager to.Once you’ve made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to affect your progress, you should be confident in your vision and plan. 49．The old sayings of “no one is an island” and “there is a powerful man” may sound a bit old, but they don’t make them unreal. 50．Meeting regularly can be positive and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it very easy to find a coach, an instructor, or a planning group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.A．Make your passion a physical trait of your personality.B．Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office.C．However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you. D．In the process, adapt to your needs, but know that success will ultimately be yours. E．Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you’ll need contact with spiritual leaders. F．In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth.六、概要写作51．Directions: 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.To Be A Creative PersonWithout creative people, the world would be a terrible place. Can you imagine a life without art? The thought alone makes me tremble. Could you be the next William Shakespeare, Steven Spielberg, or J.K. Rowling?Creative types don’t always get along well with management because th ey would rather march to the beat of their own drum. Most people have a strong desire to fit in, something that you don’t understand. Following the rules makes you uncomfortable. While most people arerunning and hiding from problems, you purposely seek them because you love nothing more than a fresh new challenge.You wrote a blog many months ago and thought it was wonderful at the time you published it. But then you read it again later and wonder, “What on earth was I thinking?” You then identify approximately a thousand ways it could have been better and kick yourself for being so stupid. A brain lacking curiosity is not creative.Some writers go to a country house or beach to write novels for a reason. Some atmospheres are more helpful to creativity than others. Maybe you like to pack up your laptop and go to a coffee shop, downtown bench, or under a tree at the park. Whatever the case may be, you need to know where to go to develop your creativity.Inspiration doesn’t happen on its own. Whether it is the opening of an art gallery, a theatrical production, or live music at a downtown bar, you search for inspiration wherever you can find it. It’s nice to know you’re not alone in your desire to create. Whether a person who hates you thinks your art is bad, a family member thinks you deserve a real job, or a friend thinks your ideas will never work, and you will never give in to outside pressure.七、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.52．不要运动过度，不然有猝死的可能。

The passage is most likely to be taken from ________．A. a news reportB. a nature magazineC. a history bookD.a learning websiteCIn fairy tales, it's usually the princess that needs p rotecting. At Google in Silicon Valley, the princess is the one defending the castle. Parisa Tabriz is a 31-year-old with perhaps the most unique job title in engineering- “Go ogle Security Princess”. Her job is to hack into the most popul ar web browser on the planet, trying to find weaknesses in the system before the “black hats” do. To defeat Google's attack ers, must firstly think like them.'s role has evolved dramatically in the eight years since she fir st started working at Google. Back then, the young graduate f rom was one of 50 security engineers---today there are over 500.Cybercrime（网络犯罪）has come a long way in the past decade - from the Nigerian P rince Scam to credit card theft. Tabriz's biggest concern now is the people who fi nd bugs in Google's software, and sell the information to gove rnments or criminals. To fight against this, the company has s et up a Vulnerability Rewards Program, paying anywhere fro m $100 to $ 20, 000 for reported mistakes.It's a world away from Tabriz's computer-free childhood home in . The daughter of an Iranian-American doctor father, and Polish-American nurse mother, had little contact with computers unti l she started studying engineering at college. Gaze across a li ne-up of Google security staff today and you'll find women like Ta briz are few and far between（稀少的）--- though in the last few years she has hired more female tech geniuses. She admits th ere's an obvious gender disequilibrium in Silicon Valley. Funnily enough, during training sessions first asks new collea gues to hack into not a computer, but a vending machine. Tab riz's job is as much about technological know-how（专门知识）as understanding the psychology of attackers.8. What can we learn about from the passage?A. She was the first female engineer at Google.B.

To raise people's awareness of personal information safety .10. What does the underlined word “disequilibrium” in Paragra ph 4 refer to?A. Imbalance.B. Preference.C. Difference.D. Discrimination.11. Which of the following could be the best title of this passa ge?A. What leads to cybercrimeB. The “Security Princess” who guards GoogleC. Measures taken by Google to protect its usersD. How to become an excellent security engineerDI READ mostly fiction before I was introduced to CaMalcolm Gladwell's work.In his TED talk called "Choice, Happiness, an d Spaghetti Sauce "，he used the examples of Pepsi and spaghetti sauce to argue t hat giving people choices makes them happy. If I had only he ard his conclusion statement and missed the evidence that he employed，I would have been wondering how he could argue such an int eresting point. But he structured his argument like a detective story, with each puzzle piece contributing to the conclusion. Fascinated,I borrowed his book Outliers: The Story of Succes s from the library. Each chapter had its own story and argume nt,and all of the arguments were about factors that contribute d to an individual' s success in the world.The depth of his research was amazing. In the first chapter,he analyzed the reasons behind the crash of Korean Air Flight 8 01 in 1997，which killed more than 220 people. The disaster took place pa rtly because the co-pilot didn't point out the mistakes that the pilot was making. InSouth Korea，it' s disrespectful to disagree with higher ups even if they are doing something wrong.Perhaps most interesting of all，Gladwell explained why Asians are so good at math. He said Asians get an advantage when they learn how to count becau se their language has fewer syllables (音节) and makes numbers easier to remember.But Gladwell is mostly interested in answering my favorite que stion，"Why?” And that’s exactly why I love his works. After reading Outliers: The Story of Success and other books like it，I found myself questioning my commonly-accepted beliefs much more often. After all，why should we take anything for granted?12. Why does the author write this article?A.To promote some of Gladwell’s books.B.To introduce Gladwell and his books.C. To show how Gladwell did research for his books.D. To explain why he enjoys Gladwell’s books.13. How did the author feel about Gladwell’s TED talk?A.Surprising but persuasive.B. Refreshing but puzzling.C. Interesting but doubtful.D. Funny but conclus ive.14. What can we know from the passage?A.Eating spaghetti sauce can make you happy.B. Carelessness caused the Korean air crash in 1997.C.Fewer syllables give Asians an advantage in learning math.D.The Story of Success is about Gladwell’s personal success.15. What really makes the author fall in love with Gladwell’s works?A. His strong arguments. C. His amazing research.B. His detective-like stories. D. His questioning spirit.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共1 0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。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce littler, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts. The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don’t dispute（质疑）these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.56. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.57. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.58. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.59. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD.

2017-2018学年交大附中高三第一学期第一次测试卷一、语法One day a two-year-old boy had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grasp on the bottle and it fell, ____1____(spill) its contents all over the kitchen floor——a sea of milk!Seeing at this, his mother instead of shouting at him or punishing him, said, “Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage___2________(do). You know, Robert, __3______ a mess like this is made, it has to be cleaned up and everything restored to its proper order. So ,how would you like to do that? We___4_______ use a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? ”He chose the towel and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.His mother then said, “Robert, what we had there was a _5______(fail) experiment in_6____ to effectively carry a milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out to the backyard and fill the bottle with water an d see if you can discover a way to carry it __7___ dropping it.” The little boy learned that if the bottle was grasped at the top near the lip with both hands, it could be carried without being dropped.At that moment the little boy came to understand he d idn’t need to be afraid _8____(make) mistakes. Instead, he learnt that mistakes were just opportunities for learning ___9______ new.Today, the boy is an outstanding scientist ___10_____ has made several important medical breakthroughs.二、选词When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be_____wasteful to tear them all down and _____ them with greener versions. A(n)_____ amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the_____carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest_____, the greatest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and_____our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing building," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.With some_____, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that _____over time and let in more outside air.Fortunately, there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from_____ ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades can save more than just the earth, they can help_____property owners from rising power costs.Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they’ll say, “Success.”The dream of individual opportunity has been home in America since Europeans discovered a “new world” in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a__1___society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782) he wrote. “We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的) and unrestrained, because each person works for himself … We have no princes, for whom we labor，starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world.” The promise of a land where “the rewards of a man’s _2____follow with equal steps the progress of his labor” drew poor immigrants from Europe and___3__ national expansion into the western territories.Our national mythology is full of__4___ of the American success story. There’s Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from__5___origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became American’s best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. The__6___of success haunts us: we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to “make a fortune in real estate with no money down,” and “dressing for success.” The myth of success has even__7___our personal relationships: today it’s as important to be “successful” in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business.But dreams easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to “make it” also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success__8___ implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in __9___symbols: we try to live in the “right” neighborhoods, wear the “right” clothes, eat the “right” foods. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe___10__in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens.三、完型Playing organized sports is such a common experience in the United States that many children and teenagers take them for granted. This is especially true 41 children from families and communities that have the resources needed to organize and 42 sports programs and make sure that there is easy 43 to participation opportunities. Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often 44 the resources needed to pay for participation 45 , equipment, and transportation to practices and games as their communities do not have resources to build and 46 sports fields and facilities.Organized youth sports first appeared during the early 20th century in the United States and other wealthy nations. They were originally developed 47 some educators and developmental experts 48 that the behavior and character of children were 49 influenced by their social surroundings and everyday experiences. This 50 many people to believe that if you could organize the experiences of children in 51 ways, you could influence the kinds of adults that those children would become.This belief that the social 52 influenced a person’s overall development was very 53 to people interested in progress and reform in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. It caused them to think about 54 they might control the experiences of children to 55 responsible and productive adults. They believed strongly that democracy depended on responsibility and that a growing capitalist economy depended on the productivity of workers.41. A) among B) within C) on D) towards42.

A) encouraging B) disappointing C) upsetting D) surprising54. A) what B) how C) whatever D) however55. A) multiply B) manufacture C) produce D) provide四、阅读(A)There Student thieves look out. Students can easily get many research papers off the Internet.A new Web site could help teachers catch copiers.Some students research and write their term papers. Others, however, just copy them off the Internet and turn them in as their work.Two graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley have written a program to catch the students who copy. It compares a student’s paper with every other term paper on the Web.A hundred million Web pages on the Internet are searched. The top 20 search engines are used for the search. This service can be found at www. plagiarism. com. They also have a local data base of term papers.Teachers who sign up can send their students’ papers to the Web site. Within 24 hours the y know if the student did the work.Every sentence that was a word-for-word match with another sentence either found on the Internet or within our database is coded.A U.C. Berkeley professor told his class he would use the program. Still some students copied papers. All 300 papers went through the program. In 45 papers or 15 percent of students had cut and pasted large amounts of material from different World Wide Web sites.Students that say they didn’t copy can defend themselves. They can show the ins tructors where they got their material. Students at universities try hard to get good grades. Some students welcome the Internet research watchdog because they say it is fair to all. They think copying is wrong.56. One reason why plagiarism has increased is that ______.A. student cheat more todayB. their reasoning and survival skills improvedC. students couldn’t find information to copy before the Internet was developedD. it is so easy to cut and paste papers or parts of papers from the Internet57. Using the program developed at University of California at Berkeley, the papers are checked by using ______.A. printing and looking carefully at hundreds of papers on the InternetB. a search of many Web pages and a comparison of words usedC. asking the student where they got the information in the paperD. comparing all the papers which are turned in by the students58. If teachers want to find out if their students wrote their own papers, ______.A. they ask other teachers to read their students’ papersB. they ask their students to list their sources of informationC. they can sign up for the Internet serviceD. they search the Internet and compare papersBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: " I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.59. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.60. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success61. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?A. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One's success in competition needs great efforts.C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.62. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.C篇About 40 years ago the famo us British band The Beatles sang that“money can’t buy me love”. Today British economists are saying that it perhaps can’t buy you happiness either. This is showed by the happy planet index published recently by the New Economics Foundation (NEF ) in London.The index is about how well countries are using their resources. It shows how well they provide people with better health and longer and happier lives and at what cost to their environment.It would seem to be a common sense that people in richer countries live happier lives while those in developing countries are having a harder time of it. But the results are surprising , even shocking. The numbers show that some of the so-called developed countries are performing very badly. The United States, for example , comes at an unbelievable number 150th. On the other hand, some little-known developing countries are doing a much better job. A tiny is land in the Pacific, Vanuatu comes in first. There are 178 countries and areas in the index. China ranks 31.Countries are graded on the basis of information supplied in response to the following questions. How do people feel about their live? How long does an average person live ? How intensively does a country need to use its natural resources -- such as oil, land and water--to maintain standards. This is what the index calls the “ecological footprint”.The NEF found that the people of island nations enjoy the highest HPI rankings. Their populations live happier and longer lives, and use fewer resources.The results also seem to show that it is possible to live longer, happier lives with a much smaller environmental impact . The index points out that people in the US and Germany enjoy similar lives.“However, Germany ‘s ecological footprint is only about half “ that of the US. This means that Germany is around twice as efficient as the US at producing happy lives,” says Nic Marks, head of NEF’s center for well-being.So happy planet Index(HPI) tells us a brand- new concept of understanding “being happy”. HPI figures out different countries or individuals’ HPI through their Ecological Footprint” and Life satisfaction Level “ or ” Life Expectancy”. Clearly, people’s HPI is related to their consumption of the resources on the earth.You can find out your own HPI by visiting http://www. happy planet /survey.htm.63. The story is mainly about ____________________.A. in which countries people feel the happiest.B.why money can’t you happiness.C.what index can influence people’s happiness.D.the happy planet index published recently64.According to the passage, the index has something to do with_________________.A.wealth, education, resources and heath.B. lives, heath, resources and environmentC.pressure, accommodation, resources and heathD. education, money, environment and resources65. Countries that have low HPI rankings___________________________.A. are only developing countries.B. have far fewer happy peopleC. have a greater impact on environmentD. do not enjoy plenty of resource66. The comparison between Germany and the US shows that______________________.A. some of the so-called developed countries are performing very badly.B. it is possible to live happier and longer lives with fewer resources.C. not all the people in developed countries enjoy happy lives.D. history and culture play an important role in people”s lives.六选四Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A. He worried about possible German intervention in Latin America.B. Hitler resulted in Roosevel t’s final decision.C. They knew this would mean disaster.D. He decided it was best to attack Germany while its forces were divided.E. The allied forces launched their first attack in north Africa.F. He would use most of his forces to fight Germany.Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December nineteen forty-one had brought America into the war. And it had severely damaged American military power. But Roosevelt decided not to strike back at Japan immediately. 67 . There were several reasons for Roosevelt’s decision.First, Germany already controlled much of Europe, as well as much of the Atlantic Ocean. Roosevelt considered this a direct threat. 68 . Second, Germany was an advanced industrial nation. It had many scientists and engineers. Its factories were modern. Roosevelt was concerned that Germany might be able to develop deadly new weapons, such as an atomic bomb, if it was not stopped quickly. Third, Britain historically was one of America’s closest allies. And the British people were united and fighting for their lives against Germany. This was not true in Asia. Japan’s most important opponent was China. But China’sfighting forces were weak and divided, and could not offer strong opposition to the Japanese. Hitler’s decision to break his treaty with Josef Stalin and attack the Soviet Union made Roosevelt’s final choice. The American leader recognized that the Germans would have to fight on two fronts: in the west against Britain and in the east against Russia.69 . So Washington sent most of its troops and supplies to Britain to join the fight against Germany.American military leaders hoped to attack Germany quickly by launching an attack across the English Channel. Stalin also supported this plan. Soviet forces were suffering terrible losses from the Nazi attack and wanted the British and Americans to fight the Germans on the west.However, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and other leaders opposed launching an invasion across the English Channel too quickly. They worried that such an invasion might fail, while the Germans were still so strong. 70 . For this reason, British and American forces decided instead to attack the Italian and German occupation troops in north Africa.概要写作：It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering things” like arithmetic or historical facts, bur also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (嗅到，闻到)something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learn to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but but in some physical objects and puters ,for example,contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”--ready for instant use.An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning about 100,000 words of English. However, this is a but fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.翻译1.我从未想到我校篮球队会在比赛中败北。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce littler, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts. The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for th e planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground todayThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don’t dispute（质疑）these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.56. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B.

He makes it clear that the protagonist must have a problem, and this problem must divide the protagonist: he doesn’t know what he is going to do to solve the problem. There is no point, then, in having a short story about a man who says he is hungry and then just goes to the shops to buy food. Nothing exciting happens. But if the man is hungry and he has a child who is hungry, then he has a problem; who does he give the food to?There should also be an antagonist, that is, somebody who works against the protagonist. The antagonist should ideally have the same problem as the protagonist but will have a totally different way of looking at it. This presents the possibility of having battles in the short story.Furthermore, the antagonist and the protagonist must know each other. But be cause they are viewing the same problem from different angles, they will probably drive each other crazy.Finally, the short story has to acknowledge a change in the protagonist. We must then, as a reader, see how the character will continue their life differently as a result of the events of the story. There is no point in going back to the beginning; the short story is a waste of time if nothing actually happens that is significant.It is very hard to create a character whom a reader cares about and a plot that a reader is interested in with just a few hundred words. But it is possible: Edgar Allen Poe, Anton Chekhov, and JG Ballard -- amongst many others -- have proved repeatedly that short stores can be little pieces of perfection. The best don’t just see the protagonist change; they see the reader change, too.63. What should an antagonist and a protagonist have in common?A. in the same family.B. a problemC. ideally, nothingD. a purpose64. Why are JG Ballard and Anton Chekhov mentioned in the last paragraph?A. They are successful writers of short stores.B. They agree with David Vann’s ideas.C. They were protagonists in a famous short story.D. They are novelists who tried and failed to write short stores.65. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of a short story?A. an antagonist and a protagonistB. a conflict of ideasC. a believable plotD. a change in the protagonist66. what aspect of short story does the writer believe is the most important in making it successful?A. An excellent plotB. A protagonist who alters in the course of the storyC. A likeable protagonist B. Something that changes the readerSection CDirections: Read the following passage.

According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school._____________68_____________. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.“More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,” says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. _______69________. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. ________70________.

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.Sadness and depression?Sadness is normal human emotion that everyone experiences at some time. A number of events can leave people feeling sad or unhappy, such as the loss or absence of a loved one, divorce, loss of job or income, financial trouble, issues at home, or social anxiety.Failing an exam, not getting a job, or other disappointing events can also trigger sadness.However, a person who is sad can usually find some relief from crying, venting, or talking out frustrations. This is because sadness is more likely to be linked to a specific trigger.Sadness usually passes with time. If it does not pass, or if the person become unable to function normally, this could be a sign of depression. If symptoms worsen or last longer than 2 weeks, the person should talk to their doctor.Depression is a mental disorder that affects every part of a person’s feelings and perception. It affects behaviors and attitudes and can affect people of any gender or age.In 2015, around 16.1 million people aged 18 years or above in the U. S. had experienced at least one major depressive episode in the last year. This represented 6.7 percent of all American adults. Symptoms include feelings of discouragement, sadness, hopelessness, a lack of motivation, and a loss of interest in activities that are normally enjoyable. In severe cases, the person may think abo ut or attempt suicide.The person may no longer feel like spending time with family or friends. They may stop pursuing their hobbies and feel unable to go to work or school.Daily habits may change unexpectedly and without reason. A person with depression may find it difficult to continue doing the things they normally enjoy.If these feelings of doubt last more than 2 weeks, a health-care professional may diagnose the person with major depressive disorder (MDD).Unlike sadness, depression can leave a person struggling to express their feelings. If the person tries to release the stress, the overpowering feelings and negative thoughts can prevent them from building themselves up again.Ⅴ.
