That’s because I have always known about the flaw (缺陷) of my pot. I planted flower seeds on one side of the path. Every day when I walk back from the stream, the broken pot waters them.

As they looked at the salary list, one of them said, “Why do we keep this old man on year after year?

By early autumn, the leaves began to fall off the trees, and the spring was covered with leaves. A few days later, the water was much darker.

Most of the time they will make up (言归于好) and become 49 again. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very 50 . We miss them very much, but we can 51 them and write to them.

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 outif 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. DuringKatie’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。

Each passage is followed byquestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las Vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning. “I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.Gerner manages school facilities for Clark County, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143,000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （原型）; they plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.Green schools are appearing all over, but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness(广阔), such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. “One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation,” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. ”You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. “I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. “Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work.”But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. “You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,” he says.59. How did the architects react to Gerner’s design requirements?A .They lost balance in excitement.B .They showed strong disbelief.C .They expressed little interest.D .They burst into cheers.60. Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?A .Assessment — Prototype — Design — Construction.B .Assessment — Design — Prototype — Construction.C .Design — Assessment — Prototype — Construction.D .Design — Prototype — Assessment — Construction.61 What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?A .The large size.B .Limited facilities.C .The desert climate.D .Poor natural resources.62. What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?A .They are questionable.B .They are out of date.C .They are advanced.D .They are practical.(B)Spring is in the air, as is romance.

As a perfect place for propose, Las Vegas will provide you with all the following EXCEPT.A. a honeymoon suiteB. a package weddingC. a bundle of flowersD. various ways to entertain( C )Do you look happy? angry? Have you ever wondered how you know what another person’s mood is just by looking at his or her face? Studies have shown that one instantaneously (瞬间地) and subconsciously makes a determination of another person’s mood just by glancing at the position and appearance of both the eyebrows and mouth. But what if only the position of the eyebrows was varied , and not the mouth? Would you still be able to determine his or her mood or personality just by seeing the eyebrows?Observe the four faces shown below. Notice how each face has exactly the same shape. the same smile, and the same eyes. The only difference between each of the faces is the position of the eyebrows.Low, flat eyebrows that hang over the eyes indicate tiredness, while an eyebrow that is highest in the middle denotes sadness. Downward slanting eyebrows show anger, while highly arched eyebrows show happiness.Frequently, malposition of the eyebrows, such as eyebrow sagging(下垂) and upper eyelid fullness, can be overlooked when considering facial aging and expression. Furthermore, the heavy eyebrow skin pushed the eyelid down causing a tired appearance.To avoid eyebrow sagging, many people raise their eyebrows to remove the brow and eyelid skin from their visual space. These people eventually develop wrinkles in the forehead due to the constant movement of the muscles that raise the eyebrow. In addition, there are those who are sensitive to light and frequently’ squint(斜视) and squeeze’ their eyes. This effectively pulls the eyebrows down and leads to wrinkles between the eyebrows and at the corners of the eyes.Botox is an effective measure for fine lines of the forehead and lines between the eyebrows. Botox works by freezing the muscle movement for several months. For the purpose of creating a more pleasant appearance, the best corrective measure is brow-lift surgery.66. What can this passage be?A. An advertisementB. A magazine articleC. A business reportD. A scientific report67. A person’s eyebrows that hang over the eyes low and flat can cause a(n) _________appearance.A. sadB. tiredC. happyD. angry68. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the fact that varied eye position can tell a person’s mood.B. To arouse people’s interest in the best way of removing wrinkles in the forehead and between the eyebrows.C. To explain what leads to wrinkles in the forehead and near the eyebrow.D. To enable people to know how to avoid developing fine lines on their faces.69. If the passage continues, what would the writer most likely discuss in the next paragraph?A. Facial agingB. Eye operationC. Brow life surgeryD. Face-lifts.( D )The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.’The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world—or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred (="not" clear) image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’You mention the remotest, most evocative (引起记忆的) place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’—meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.’When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless.You want to move on again. By traveling like this, y ou suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.70. Anthropologists label nowadays’ men ‘Legless’ because _________.A. people forget how to use his legs.B. people prefer cars, buses and trains.C. lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.D. there are a lot of transportation devices.71.Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’?A. People won’t use their eyes.B. In traveling at high speeds, eyes become useless.C. People can’t see anything on his way of travel.D. People want to sleep during travelling.72. Travelling at high speed means _________.A. people’s focus on the futureB. a pleasureC. satisfying drivers’ great thrillD. a necessity of life73.What's the best title of the passage?A. More haste, less speedB. Modern means of transportation make the world a small placeC. Eyes open and mind broadenD. The only way to travel is on foot.( 以下各题请务必做在答卷纸上)Ⅰ.

上海市复旦大学附属中学2018-2019学年高一上学期第一单元测试英语试卷注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解you are not alone. We’ve all had that feeling. But did you know that there are several things you can look for to see if you are being lied to?Sometimes you can tell if a person is lying by observing what they do with their body. When people are lying they tend not to move their arms, hands or legs very far from their body. They don’t want to take up very much space because they don t want to be noticed. Sometimes a person who is lying will not look you in the eyes. Other times people who lie try to look at you in a strong way because they want to convince you they are telling the trugh.Liars also use deflection. For example, if you ask a liar the question “Did you steal Fatima’s bag?” they may answer with something like “Fatima is my friend. Why would I do that?” In this situation the person is telling the truth, but they are also not answering the question. They are trying to deflect your attention. Liars may also give too many details. They may try to over-explain things. They do this because they want to convince you of what they are saying.Often when a person is lying, they do not want to continue talking about their lie. If you think someone is lying, quickly change the subject. If the person is lying, they will spear more comfortable because they are not talking about their lie any longer. A little later, change the subject back to what you were talking about before. If the person seems uncomfortable again, they may be lying.It’s very hard for a liar to avoid filling silence created by you. He or she wants you to believe the lies be ing woven; silence gives no feedback on whether or not you’ve bought the story. If you’re a good listener, you’ll already be avoiding interruptions, which in itself is a great technique to let the story unfold.Just because a person is showing these behaviors, it does not mean they are lying. They might be shy or nervous. But, if you think someone is lying, you might want to use some of these techniques. Hopefully, you won’t need to very often.1.According to the passage, a person could be lying he or she ________.A. offers more information than necessaryB. appears to be shy or nervousC. the subject of the conversationD. speaks very fast and vaguely2.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. Liars always try to avoid direct eye contact when they tell lies.B. We can make people lie by changing the subject in a conversation.C. Liars are often expansive in hand and arm movements while talking.D. We make liars uncomfortable by giving no feedback in a conversation.3.The passage mainly talks about ________.A. who deceives usB. why people tell liesC. how to detect liesD. what to do with liarsA person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable.A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment, so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self-satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snowcapped mountain itself is itself a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of (better quality) edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it.As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.4.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive5.According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ________.A. dye your hairB. wear makeup at a young ageC. follow the aging processD. give up fame and wealth6.The underlined part refers to the way of ________.A. dyeing one’s black hair whiteB. keeping in harmony with natureC. packaging oneself skillfullyD. packaging oneself to hide the traces of aging7.The passage implies that elderly people are attractive because ________.A. they are usually packaged like a finely-made bookB. they experience a lot and have rich knowledge of lifeC. they are unique in natural qualitiesD. they enjoy reading thick books of beautiful nature and fairyland二、完形填空________ they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes ________ until one of the men crashes ________ a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! ________he isn’t really dead. With ________ luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even ________ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they ________ tricks. There are two ________ to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to ________ cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they break windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depend on trick of this sort, it also requires a high ________ o f skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful ________. For example, when he is “________up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed A Norwegian stuntman, ________, skied over the________ of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.

He had dark hair, which was cut quite short, and a tiny moustache—so tiny in fact that Bruno wondered why he bothered with it at all or whether he had simply forgotten a piece when he was shaving.

She had blonde hair and very red lips, and while the Fury spoke to Mother she 50., making him go red with embarrassment.“And these are my children, Fury,” said Father as Gretel and Bruno stepped forward. “Gretel and Bruno.”“And which is which?” the Fury said, which made everyone laugh except for Bruno, who thought it was perfectly obvious which was which and hardly cause for joke.

crowd this season,you should consider adding a slogan(标语)T-shirt to your_____22_____.From headlines and hashtags(贴文标签)to popular quotes,many words have leapt from_____23_____onto our clothing.In April,New York magazine came up with a creative idea–turning headlines from its fashion section into slogan T-shirts.But slogan T-shirts certainly aren't_____24_____creations.Although they're believed to have been the idea of small1960s London fashion store Mr.Freedom,British designer Katherine Hamnett first introduced them to the wider world in the1980s.''The slogan T-shirt was something to give you a(n)_____25_____...in one,you could be read from200yards(about183meters)away,''she recently told the BBC.However,people have been using_____26_____ways to send political messages far before slogan T-shirts came along.''In the19th century before women had the vote,they would use umbrellas that represented their_____27_____candidate,''Steven Fielding,professor of political history at the University of Nottingham,told Elle magazine.Indeed,fashion has always been about self-expression.And slogan items have become a way to_____28_____messages without the need to scream and shout.''Sometimes we talk about serious stuff,and sometimes fun things,''Swedish designer Annika Berger told the Guardian.British designer Viet Tran shared his story of making fun T-shirts with Elle.Graduating from college,he couldn't afford a cool T-shirt,so he and his friends just made their own,_____29_____slogans such as,''He's your man.''Tran told the magazine.''It was an inside joke that_____30_____us as a group.''British fashion expert Natalie Kingham also agreed that slogan items provide a(n)______31______platform.So,if you want to share your thoughts with the world,a slogan T-shirt is certainly a good way to start.III.Reading Comprehension(43’)Section A(15’)Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D.Fill in

say it again:It takes time,about10,000hours of practice,to make perfect.This is no small___32___of your life energy,however,it___33___to spend time thinking about the kinds of opportunities you want to prepare yourself for.If you’re an advocate,what do you want to say to those senators? 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. Pick it up by the tail and drop it into a container.Then another...And so on...Then put the lid on,and watch all these mouse people,clawing at the glass,jabbering away...”4Put up a fight and believe.(Let your second self have a turn on the chance floor.)If you want to influence a senator’s vote,or win an Olympic gold medal,you cannot allow doubts and fears to drag you down.Let something else guide you.True,you do have a self that wants to flee from a challenge.Yet you____44____have a self that wants to meet that same challenge head-on.As Martha Beck,Ph.D.writes in Steering by Starlight,“Scholars...who study human happiness hold that we are most joyful when we’re intensely____45____on something that is almost too tough to do...”Get to know that second self.Befriend it as

C.presence D.circumstanceSection B(24’)Directions:Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)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

Published by InterCity,a business section of the British Railway Board.Customers should check in at the Railair waiting-room at Reading Station at least15minutes before departure of the coach.Please purchase a ticket before boarding the coach.51.On December25th,2014,the earliest service from Heathrow Terminal1to Reading is available at__________.A.7:15B.7:00C.6:50D.6:3552.If you are to reach Terminal2of the Heathrow Airport before10:00a.m.,you need to get to Reading Station not later than__________.A.8:20a.m.B.8:45a.m.C.9:00a.m.D.9:15a.m.53.What services are the timetables for?A.InterCity ticket offices at Heathrow airport and Reading station.B.Coaches between Heathrow airport terminals and Reading station:C.Shuttle buses between the four terminals of Heathrow Airport.D.Trains of Railair Link between Heathrow Airport and Reading.(C)Have you ever noticed how the recital(叙说)of an adventure always finds ready audience?The man with a story of some stirring adventure always takes the floor Men will stop the most important discussion to listen. 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。

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak aword of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.51．He did not have what he really wanted, because _______.A．he only made some gesturesB．he did not order at allC．he could not make himself understoodD．the waiter was unwilling to serve52．The waiter _______.A．knew what he orderedB．finally understood what he saidC．took the order through his gesturesD．served the same thing the man at the next table was having53．After dinner, he _______.A．walked back to the hotel right awayB．had a walking tour about the cityC．went to the moviesD．did some shopping on Broadway54．That night he could not sleep because _______.A．he did not know what to do the next dayB．he was not tired at allC．he kept hearing the fire and police sirensD．he was thinking about the great city（B）Dear Doctor,My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?Please help.55．What do you think shows her husband was supportive?A．He took up all the work she used to do.B．He made all the decisions for her.C．He gave her encouragement.D．All of the above.56．As her income increased _______.A．she found a gap emerged between her and her husbandB．she bought more clothes and a new houseC．she did many things she had dreamed forD．she felt very proud of herself57．The dilemma of the working woman is a choice between _______.A．husband and childrenB．children and workC．career and moneyD．job and marriage（C）If we are observant(善于观察的), we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we haveseen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (统计) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why are black flowers so rare?As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. While red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting（反射）the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.58．It is a chance in a million” means______.A．something commonB．something luckyC．something extremely rareD．something impossible59．Sunlight is formed by _____.A．many different kinds of colored lightB．three different kinds of colored light—red, orange and yellowC．seven different kinds of colored lightD．four thousand kinds of colored light60．Black flowers are so rare because ______.A．they are so weak that it’s difficult for them to grow upB．there are actually no black flowers in the worldC．the petals of black flowers are very delicate（易碎的）D．they can take in the light of all wave length which make the flowers dry up because of high temperature.61．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Red, orange and yellow flowers can absorb the light of all wave lengths.B．People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black.C．Most of the flowers are resistant（有抵抗力的）to high temperature owing to their bright colors.D．The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight.62．幸运的是，今天的天气很适合野营。
