AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.21.

The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries.That is why 4 years ago —June, 2012 —the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children’s lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1,000 live birthsby the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26,000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2017. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products.“This high-level forum inspired a global movement —Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed,”wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains.”25.

Child Survival Call To Action was founded to______.A. improve the living conditions for poor childrenB. decrease under-five death rates in some countriesC. raise some money to save children’s livesD. save children in the poorest countries27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All diseases can be prevented or treated.B. Governments and partners joined the initial effort.C. Nutrition holds the key to lower the death rates.D. Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.28. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action?A. Time-consuming.B. Wasteful.C. Positive.D. Cold.CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you”that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important.30. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that______.A. one’s personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with one’s career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality31. The intended readers for the passage are probably______.A. receptionistsB. studentsC. office clerksD. police officersDFor many. Daylight Saving Time (DST: 夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,”said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,”he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.32. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular?33. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.34. The underlined word “acclimate”in Paragraph 4 can be replacedby______.A. adoptB. accelerateC. adaptD. acknowledge35. The passage is probably taken from______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statement第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Note that there is one word more than you need.When we meet someone for the first time, we usually get a vague sense of what kind of person they are by the way they shake hands, talk, or walk. In the age of social networking, however, first impressions are sometimes made even before we (31) meet someone in person – that is, by looking at their profile photo.According to a recent study, these social images say a lot about our personality. In the study, presented in a paper at the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media, a group of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in the US used software to (32) the profile pictures of 66,000 users of US social platform Twitter and 3,200 of their tweets. At the same time, about 434 participants were asked to complete a survey about their personality type.The researchers wanted to find out if there was a (33) between personality traits – like openness, extroversion, and neuroticism – and a person’s profile picture. According to the results, open people are more (34) to pose in an unusual way and use objects such as glasses or a guitar in their profile photo because they enjoy new and exciting experiences. Meanwhile, neurotic people often hold back their (35) emotions. They try to avoid showing their face；instead, they use an image of something like a pet, a car or a building. That’s because neurotic people are strongly (36) by the “strong social norm against a very sad or angry appearance in profile pictures,” Daniel Preoiuc-Pietro from the University of Pennsylvania wrote in the research paper.Apart from the objects in profile pictures, the colors used in them also give us some (37)about the photo’s owner. For example, extraverts were found to have themost colorful profile images, as they want to (38) their personality and show themselves off, the researchers wrote.Although social media photos “usually represent an extension of one’s self, they also allow a user to shape his or her own personality and (39) view,” according to the researchers.So, when choosing a profile photo, maybe we should ask ourselves first what kind of image we’d like to convey. After all, first impressions always (40) .【答案】31-35 EBAGK 36-40 CDFHI2.Section B 10%Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

US entertainment website Hit Fixexplains that their way of communicating makes the creatures 38 as well. They largely speak in nonsense words with the occasional recognizable terms like "potato". But it seems everyone can understand them through their exaggerated(夸张的)movements and expressions.More importantly, their childlike mannerism is a(n)39 of humor that wins hearts."Clumsy, foolish Minions are recognized as the ultimate B personalities, " wrote Peter Debruge ofUS entertainment magazine Variety.They desire nothing more than to serve their most despicable master, And this evilcharacteristic arouses 40 among humans. “Perhaps we love Minions because they remind us of ourselves, "Huffington Post associate Web editor Sara Boboltz wrote, “or an evil version ofOurselves.”【答案】31-35 CEHKF 36-40 GDJBI3Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box.

But a society with no other scale except the legal one is not quite worthy of man. A society which is based on the letter of the law and never reaches any higher is taking very 31 advantage of the high level of human possibilities. And it will be simply impossible to stand through the 32 of this threatening century with only the support of a legalistic structure.In today's Western society, the inequality has been revealed of freedom for good deeds and freedom for evil deeds. A statesman who wants to achieve something important and highly 33_________ for his country has to move cautiously and even timidly. There are thousands of hasty and irresponsible critics around him parliament and the press keep interfering with him. As he moves ahead, he has to prove that every single step of his is well-founded and absolutely perfect. Actually an outstanding and particularly gifted person who has unusual and unexpected 34_________in mind hardly gets a chance to assert(声称) himself—from the very beginning, dozens of traps will be set out for him.Man is imperfect, who is never free of 35_________, vanity (虚荣心) and dozens of other defects. We are now experiencing the consequences of mistakes which had not been noticed at the beginning of the journey. On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have 36 _________ our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain (抑制) our 37_________. We have placed too much hope in political and social reforms, only to find out that we were being 38_________ of our most precious possession: our spiritual life.Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature. It goods and them cheerfully get the most out of them. It has to be thefulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that ones life journey may become an experience of 40_________ growth, so that one may leave life a better human being than one started it.【答案】ABEHG IGFKD5Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

The non-profit institution was launched by a slew of 34 academia (学术机构) in the country and funded by high-profile business 35 , including Tencent Holdings Ltd Chairman Pony Ma and Wanda Group Chairman Wang Jianlin, according to information on the school’s website.Headed by Shi Yigong, a biologist and former vice president of the prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing, Westlake will be 36 to the study of natural science and engineering, with world-class environment and state-of-the-art research facility. Construction for the university started in April and is expected to becompleted by 2021. Total investment for the project is 37 to be 3.68 billion yuan ($585 million), according to media reports.The opening of Westlake University also comes as Chinese business leaders are throwing their support behind the country’s education 38 . Several other Chinese business leaders, including Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma Yun and Lenovo Group founder Liu Chuanzhi, have also 39 started a non-profit institution -Hupan University in Zhejiang. The university was inaugurated in March 2015.

That is, generally, younger people tend to (41)________ older people on the front end of a technological shift.It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn’t seem to be a clear (42)________ divide. The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so (43)________ across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is (44)________ engaged.Actually, this isn’t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctantto adopt new technologies, driverless cars (45)________ real value to these age groups, especially to those with (46)________ mobility or difficulty driving on their own.This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related (47)________ than older ones.When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more (48)________ based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education: 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.Where a person lives (49)________, too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become (50)________. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.【答案】41. AD 42. C 43. B 44. ABC 45. A 46. BC 47. AB 48. BD 49. AC 50.

AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.21. The passage is mainly written to______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees22. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.23. Some schools offer free online application to______,A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application information24. It can be known from the passage that______,A. application fee might be canceled conditionallyB. many countries attend College Application WeekC. applying for early admission is the best policyD. admission departments determine your futureBEvery year, some 6.9 million children under the age of five die from diseases like malaria, pneumonia and HIV. The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries. That is why 4 years ago —June, 2012 —the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children’s lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1,000 live births by the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26,000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2017. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products.“This high-level forum inspired a global movement —Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed,”wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains.”25. The underlined word “those”in Paragraph 1 refers to______.A. 6. 9 million under-five childrenB. affordable tools to end child deathC. deaths in the developing countriesD. death rates of children under five26. Child Survival Call To Action was founded to______.A. improve the living conditions for poor childrenB. decrease under-five death rates in some countriesC. raise some money to save children’s livesD. save children in the poorest countries27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All diseases can be prevented or treated.B. Governments and partners joined the initial effort.C. Nutrition holds the key to lower the death rates.D. Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.28. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action?A. Time-consuming.B. Wasteful.C. Positive.D. Cold.CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but throughemotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you”that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important.30. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that______.A. one’s personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with one’s career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality31. The intended readers for the passage are probably______.A. receptionistsB. studentsC. office clerksD. police officersDFor many. Daylight Saving Time (DST: 夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,”said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,”he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.32. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular?33. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.34. The underlined word “acclimate”in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.A. adoptB. accelerateC. adaptD. acknowledge35. The passage is probably taken from______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statement第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017届上海英语高考11选10专项练习The Vernadsky scientific base – a handful of grey huts ________1_________ by penguins in Antarctica – was once home to some of the world’s most important _________2________ science. It was here, in 1985, that British scientists did some of the key work to _________3________ the hole in the ozone layer. But today, it’s home to something altogether different: the closest thing Antarctica has to a rock star, a 44-year-old long-haired Ukrainian geophysicist called Bogdan Gavrylyuk.“Here it’s a special place for writing songs,” he says, standing in his laboratory, where musical instruments are propped up among the scientific equipment. “We’re like prisoners, ________4_________ up for 10 months in the cold. Alone! But it creates a special mood.“I write all kinds of songs: about pirates and gangsters; about _________5________ hard at work; about the salty, sweet taste of kisses; about hope and love. I can’t write about those things back in Ukraine – there’s too much noise.” When you visit Antarctica, music isn’t the first thing that comes to ________6_________. One of the most striking things about it is its very lack of sound.There are no revving cars, or people __________7_______ into mobile phones. There aren’t even trees for the wind to rustle. You only hear sounds in snatches – when you stumble into the middle of a penguin colony, or the ice cracks and sends part of a glacier _________8________ into the ocean. That silence may seem ________9_________: Antarctica is the world’s last __________10_______, a continent of over 5.4 million sq miles (14 million sq km), almost all of it under ice. But nothing can prepare you for the strangeness of it.Chinese netizens are known for coming up with creative terms for people and things making the news... and they spread like _______1____. From "skinny blue mushrooms" to "melon-eating masses", we now take a look at what has ______2_____their imaginations this year.National swimmer Fu Yuanhui not only won a bronze medal at the Rio Olympic Games, but also _______3____a win with viewers in China in a now-iconic TV interview. When told she had _____4_____for the final, Fu pulled a comically exaggerated face and declared: "I have used all my prehistoric powers to swim!"'Prehistoric powers', or "honghuangzhili", was adopted as a term for a(n) _____5______force, while Fu became an internet darling.One man's ________6_______ in love turned out to be a goldmine for netizens, when a man from Guangxi province uploaded a video of himself talking about his ______7_____while his girlfriend was away. Unbearable, I want to cry," he moaned -but thanks to his heavy accent, it ended up _____8______more like "skinny blue mushroom". "Lanshouxianggu" was swiftly shared more widely and took off as a meme(文化传播), mostly as a way to mock the southern Guangxi accent.A term whose closest equivalent is possibly "popcorn gallery", its _____9______expression is "the melon-eating masses who don't know what's really going on".Its _____10______is unclear, but netizens often use this - sometimes derogatorily(贬低) - to describe a passive group of bystanders at a major incident or event.counterfeit(仿造；伪造) goods sales. Alibaba was taken off the list four years ago, but US ______2_______ say the firm's online platform Taobao is used to sell "high levels" of fake goods.The company has rejected the allegations, ________3_____ it polices its market place better than in the past. The firm also suggested the "current political climate" in the US might be why they are back on the list.US President-elect Donald Trump had, during his campaign, repeatedly criticized Chinese firms for stealing intellectual _______4______. Alibaba Group President Michael Evans said he was "disappointed" by the decision , ______5_______ whether it was "based on actual facts or was influenced by the current political climate." The Chinese online retailer and its market place Taobao have long been ________6_____ of being a platform for counterfeit goods.Taobao said earlier this year it had _______7______ controls on its sale of luxury goods, requiring sellers to show _______8______ of authenticity. In May though, Alibaba was suspended from the International Anti Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) watchdog over piracy（盗版行为）_______9______. More than 250 members, including Gucci America and Michael Kors, had threatened they would leave the IACC in _______10______ at Alibaba's membership. Alibaba -by far China's biggest online retailer -floated on the New York Stock Exchange in September 2014 and broke records by raising $25bn.The sleek, speedy cheetah is rapidly heading towards ________1_______ according to a new study into declining numbers. The report ________2_______that there are just 7,100 of the world's fastest mammals now left in the wild. Cheetahs are in trouble because they range far beyond protected areas and are coming increasingly into ________3_______with humans.The authors are calling for an urgent re-categorisation of the species from vulnerable to endangered. According to the study, more than half the world's ________4_______cheetahs live in one population that ranges across six countries in southern Africa. Cheetahs in Asia have been essentially wiped out. A group estimated to number fewer than 50 individuals clings on in Iran.Because the cheetah is one of the widest-ranging carnivores(食肉动物), it roams across lands far outside protected areas. Some 77% of their habitat falls outside these parks and _______5________. As a result, the animal struggles because these lands are increasingly being _______6________by farmers and the cheetah's prey is declining because of bushmeat hunting.In Zimbabwe, the cheetah population has fallen from around 1,200 to just 170 animals in 16 years, with the main cause being major ________7_______in land tenure（土地权）. Researchers involved with the study say that the _______8________facing the fabled predator(猎食者) have gone _______9________for far too long. "Given the secretive nature of this elusive(难以捉摸的) cat, it has been difficult to gather hard information on the species, leading to its plight(窘境;苦境) being ________10_______," said Dr Sarah Durant, from the Zoological Society of London, UK, and the report's lead author.If you've ever struggled to walk across the deck of a boat as it rolls in a choppy sea, or tried to stand up against breaking waves at the beach, you'll have felt the might(力量) of the ocean. It feels like there's a lot of power there too, so getting energy from the waves of the sea sounds as if it's got real ________1______. For World Service listener Michael McFarlane, it's a question that's been on his mind for years."I live in Jamaica and we are never very far from the sea… Electricity generation here is mainly based on fossil fuels," he says.So why isn't the ocean ________2_______ Michael's home yet? In order to ________3_______ this question for the World Service programme Crowdscience, first, there was a language problem to unpick. Deborah Greaves, Professor in Ocean Engineering and Director of the COAST Laboratory at the UK's Plymouth University explains: "We've tended to use "marine ________4_______ energy" to describe wave and tidal energy…it's energy which can be extracted from the ________5_______ of the oceans in the marine environment."Large tidal power generators already exist in ________6_______ locations around the world - the La Rance River estuary plant in Brittany, France, opened in 1966, and the world's current largest tidal power station is at Sihwa Lake in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, ________7_______ 313.5 billion South Korean Won (£212 million GBP or $263 million USD). Expense is one of the factors that currently ________8_______ the worldwide number of tidal power plants. Environmental ________9_______ are another, as some places with particularly strong tides are also sensitive ecosystems, such as estuaries(河口).And there's one more detail that's particularly relevant for listener Michael: As anyone who's been lucky enough to spend time on a beach in Jamaica knows, the tides there don't go in and out that much. It can be by as little as centimetres, _______10________ with metres at a time in other locations around the world.then as many houses were built using wood. The equipment and ________1______ were outdated, consisting mainly of horse-drawn fire engines. The firemen of the Singapore Fire Brigade were also _______2_______as they were made up of volunteers, policemen, soldiers and convicts.Things changed for the better with the _______3_______of Superintendent Montague William Pett, a professional firefighter from England. He championed the building of the Central Fire Station, _______4_______the horse-drawn fire engines with motorised engines and improved the _______5_______of the fire service.Completed in 1909, the Central Fire Station was Singapore’s first proper and modernised fire station. It was a three-storey building with a(n) _______6_______lookout tower. Did you know that the lookout tower was Singapore’s tallest tower until the 1930s? The tower was used to spot fires in the vicinity. Besides _______7_______the firemen and their families, the station also had an engine house, a repair shop, a carpenter shop, a paint room and a training yard.During World War II, the building’s _______8_______red and white facade was painted green, to camouflage it from being ________9______by Japanese aircraft. The building, unfortunately, received numerous direct hits from Japanese bombs. Nevertheless, the station remain functional. Now that’s one tough cookie.During the Battle of Singapore, the firemen, including those from the Auxiliary Fire Service, played a significant role in _______10_______to the numerous small fires caused by Japanese bombs.A total of 1,114 people involved in 1,881 cases of school violence and bullying have been arrested from January to November, and experts _______1_______ for a law on school bullying amid the country's increasing efforts to protect juveniles. Middle school students ________2______ for a higher percentage among underage suspects of school bullying.Separately, recent cases show male students are the _______3_______ suspects in school bullying, but bullying cases involving female students in middle school are rising, according to Shi. About 99 percent of 915 underage suspects being prosecuted in South China's Guangdong Province are men."At present, the primary task of tackling school bullying is to adopt a ________4______ law, as the current law on the ________5______ of juveniles does not fully cover the current situation of bullying on campus, Xia Xueluan, a professor of sociology at Peking University, told the Global Times.A total of 7,300 procurators in China have been ________6______ as deputy principals in middle and primary schools to help improve the legal _______7_______ of school bullying, Zhang Zhijie, the director of the SPP's minor procuratorate department, said at the briefing. Twenty-four procurators have also been appointed as lecturers on the prevention of and _______8_______ against school violence since June, Zhang added. More than 16,000 lectures have been held across China for more than 7.7 million students. The SPP said they will also arrange related TV programs.Recent juvenile crimes mainly involve physical harm, troublemaking, robbery and public _______9_______, said Shi. Juveniles under 14 who cannot be held criminally liable but are involved in bullying and violence on campus can be sent by the government to _______10_______, Shi said. According to a document released by the State Council in May, school bullying is defined as behavior that causes physical and mental harm to students through body contact, language and online.When you hear from Tim Wu that the Internet is dark, you know it's really dark. Wu, a professor in the Law School of Columbia University, is a(n) ______1_______ of the Internet in my eyes. An expert on media and technology, Wu was the person who _______2______ the term "net neutrality" in a 2003 academic paper. Through his career, he has defended this founding principle of the Internet that allows all participants ________3_____ opportunities in receiving and distributing information, no matter who the participants are and what the information is.Wu offered the depressing _______4______ about the Internet last week at a panel discussion with New York Times reporter Amanda Hess held by the think tank New America _______5______ his new book The Attention Merchants: The Epic Scramble to Get Inside Our Heads.The book is about how the media _______6______ from selling the attention of the general public to advertisers. It talks about the history dating back to Benjamin Day, the founder of New York Sun newspaper and the first "attention merchant" who realized in the 19th century that he _______7______ lower prices for newspapers to attract more readers, and then made money from the advertisers who needed the attention of the public.And it talks about the present. That is, of course, about the Internet which has been sucking up more and more attention from the public with much stronger _______8______ than any traditional media.Indeed, Wu said the _______9______ for the book is from his own experience of lingering on the Internet for hours when he just wanted to spend a few minutes checking e-mails. The vices of the Internet became a focus during the Q&A. That was when Wu declared the Internet has passed its innocent childhood, failed many ______10_______ expectations, and is now very dark.。

2017年高三英语一模汇编——选词填空In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on developing stronger science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum(课程) and programs, as these discipline are widely ___31____ as the means to help innovation and support national economies.This trend reflects a shift in how school discipline are being looked at; schools are ____32____ on subject that have traditionally been isolated from each other -----science, mathematics, and art --- in favor of deeper, interdisciplinary learning. K-12 education leaders are pioneering new methods for combing the arts with STEMS activities, ____33____ the ways in which subjects naturally connect in the real world. While this new movement is being discussed almost clearly and directly in an education context, its roots are planted across nearly every industry. In many ways, technology is the connective tissue. Similarly, engineering new transportation technologies requires artful design. The growing ___34____ of the important unions between different skills is paving that way for STEAM in schools.Some doubts of this movement have dismissed_____35_____ as a mere fashion driven by artists who are concerned their profession is losing critical support in an increasingly technology-focused society. However, the Hilburn Academy argues that STEAM is not just a contemporary program of learning, but an important life philosophy----____36_____ for higher education and career success. Schools should provide students plentiful opportunities ____37_____the complexities and complicated layers that indicate concrete knowledge. Early examples of STEAM learning include teaching students how mathematical concepts such as geometry(几何学) are rooted in artworks.While the rise of STEAM learning is relatively new, there are already figures that prove the integration of these seemingly ____38_____ disciplines is supporting student performance at school. A study conducted by the University of Florida _____39_____ that students who are engaged in music class do better in math. For example, female high school students enrolled in music appreciation class scored 42points higher on the math section of their SATs. Formal experience with the arts is proven to cultivate innovative thinking, adaptability and other problem- solving skills that are necessary for mastering STEM abilities. in other words, _____40______ is a pioneer for students to understand, use, and apply technologies in new ways.Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental HealthMilitary service is obviously rough on a service member’s mental health. According to some 31____, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four months of returning home after leaving the army.The military is spending more money than ever to 32____mental health issues within the ranks, and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33____ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy, medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app isn’t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35 ____record of a service member’s mental health.Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate results on the36 ____conditions of service members who have returned home. “Therapists and physicians often have to rely on patient 37____ when trying to gather information about symptoms over the previous weeks or months,” Bosmajian said. “Research has shown that information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of an experience is when it’s recorded at the time and place it happens.”The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的）stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39____ that can be observed by physicians and therapists.The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40____ on the Android Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.Donald Trump 31 his place as the United States’ 45th president after crossing the 270 electoral vote threshold (门槛) on November 9. The 70-year-old Republican will take over from Barack Obama, a two-term president to occupy the White House.The rise of Trump, a celebrity businessman with no previous experience in the 32 or elected office, surprised nearly everyone in politics. Trump’s victory over Clinton will end eight years of Democratic 33 of the White House. He will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply 34 by his campaign against Clinton. Given the numerous Republicans who never backed him, Trump will have to face divisions within his own party, too.As he claimed victory, Trump 35 Americans to “come together as one united people.” “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans,” he said in his victory speech. Striking a gentle tone, Trump continued that he would reach out to a few of those who had chosen not to support him for 36 and help so that “we can work together and unify our great country.”As president, Trump’s government agenda remains unclear. The president-elect has promised to bring changes to the United States. He said he would build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop immigrants from coming into the country 37 , 38immigration from countries with ties to terrorist groups, and bargain with foreign governments such as those of Russia and China. Trump has also promised to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and 39 incomes for all Americans.Trump is a wild card, many voters said, but the definitely has a chance to be a successful president as long as recognizes the responsibilities he 40 and follows through on his promises.Why Aren’t Women Happier?Why aren’t women happier these days?That’s the question raised by a thought-provoking study, The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness, __31__ last month. The research showed that over the past 35 years women’s happiness has declined, both __32__ to the past and relative to men even though the lives of women in the US have improved in recent decades by most __33__ measures.The research, by University of Pennsylvania economists Stevenson and Wolfers, and made __34__ by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found the decline in happiness to be widespread among women across a variety of demographic (人口统计的) groups. The researchers, for instance, measured similar declines in happiness among women who were single parents and married parents, “__35__ doubt on the hypothesis (假设) that trends in marriage and divorce, single parenthood or work/family __36__ are at the root of the happiness declines among women,” they wrote.One theory for the decline in happiness is that expectations for workplace and general advancement were raised too high by the women’s movement and women might feel __37__ for not “having it all,” as a Los Angeles Times columnist recently put it.The researchers acknowledge that’s a __38__:“If the women’s movement raised women’s expectations faster than society was able to meet them,” the paper says, “they would be more likely to experience __39__ in their lives.” But they add things could change for the better: “As women’s expectations move into adjustment with their experiences, this decline in happiness may reverse.”Readers, why do you think women are unhappier than in the past? Do you think that if expectations for “having it all” were __40__ to “move into adjustment with experiences,” women might be happier?First Aid: Difference between Death and LifeFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain ___31___ signs including pulse, temperature, and breathing. First aid must be ___32___ as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.First-aid ___33___ depend upon a victim’s needs and the provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. For example, ___34___ moving a person with a neck injury can lead to permanent health problems.Despite the variety of injuries possible, several ___35___ of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, ___36___ the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and ___37___ conditions such as heart trouble. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether ___38___ conditions exist. One method for ___39___ a victim’s condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for:A – Airway: is it open and clear?B – Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen and feel for breathing.C – Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding ___40___? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.This invention, commonly used in offices and households throughout the world, came about as a result of a series of accidents. In 1968 Spencer Silver, who was working for a company called 3M at the time, was trying to produce super-strong adhesive, a substance making things sticky together, to be used in the building of planes. This, however, wasn’t successful and instead he succeeded in creating an extremely weak adhesive that was31to pressure. This new adhesive had two advantages: it could be removed from surfaces quite easily and it could be reused. In spite of these two32features, nobody could see any practical use for it. In theend, the invention was33.A few years later, Art Fry, a product development engineer working for 3M, decided to use this adhesive for34use. He stuck strips of paper in a book as page marker and a whole new concept was born. However, the idea still wasn’t without35. The challenge was to make the glue stay on the sticky note itself, rather than peeling off and staying on the surface it was36to. Two more 3M employees were brought in and set the task of producing a coating for the adhesive so that it wouldn’t come off and they37just that.Unfortunately, 3M bosses still believed that this invention wasn’t going to be 38 successful and people would continue to use crap paper(小纸条) for their notes rather than sticky notes. This is why sticky notes were only tested within the company, where they became extremely popular. It wasn’t until many years later that 3M bosses finally decided to give out a vast amount of free 39 to other companies to see if anyone would be interested in buying them. To their surprise, 90 per cent of the companies approached went on to order more sticky notes. This went beyond anybody’s 40 . Nowadays, sticky notes come in a variety of shapes and colours and are sold in more than 100 countries.NINE people died and 43 were injured in two rear-end crashes on Shanghai’s S32 Expressway that occurred during heavy fog yesterday morning.Two were 31 dead at the scene in one of the accidents, and five were found dead in the other. Two more people died in hospital, police said.Police first received a report at 5:54 am that 32 vehicles had crashed on the S32, near a ramp of S2. The S32 links Shanghai with Zhejinag Province’s Jiaxing and Huzhou.Two people were killed after getting out of their vehicle to see what was causing congestion ahead. They were hit by an out of control tanker, police said.When police arrived at that scene, they found a further five people had been killed when a construction vehicle was crushed by two large vehicles from both front and back. The crash was about three kilometers away from the accident that killed the two people on the expressway. The injured were sent to local hospitals.Some drivers reported that the road was very 33 and braking had led to vehicles losing control.“The fog was very heavy,” an unidentified driver told Shanghai Television Station. “When I saw the accident ahead, I wanted to slow down and 34 . But once I hit the brake, the vehicle went out of control.”Zhoupu Hospital treated 12 people. “One of the 35 died on the road to the hospital,” Ding Fuhao, a doctor with the hospital, told the television station. “Three were36 injured.”The city’s meteorological authority 37 an orange alert on heavy fog at 6:06 am, meaning 38 would be lower than 200 meters in some areas.The dense fog hit coastal areas in particular, including Chongming Island, Pudong New Area, Baoshan and Fengxian districts. The alert was 39 at 9:44am. This was Shanghai’s first orange alert of heavy fog since the arrival of autumn.Several expressways in the city were closed or subject to speed limits yesterday morning.Pudong International Airport was also affected by the bad weather. The airport’s traffic was about 60 percent less than normal in the morning but picked up the 40 after the orange alert was canceled, the city’s television station said.In late February, a mainland tourist caused a disturbance on a Hong Kong subway. Thereason? Eating in public.In Hong Kong it is 31.__________ to eat on the subway, and when the tourist was scolded by a Hong Kong local, the situation escalated（升级）into a verbal slinging match.In New York City, eating on the subway is also controversial. No law bans the practice, buta Democratic state senator(参议员) introduced one last week. The 32.__________ law would ban eating on the subway system and 33.__________ first time violators $250 (1,579 yuan), according to the New York Times. Proponents of the bill argue that eating on the subway attracts rats. Others say the broader target should be litterbugs, rather than those who carefully sip their coffee and eat their bread on the way to work. They also argue that "street food" is an important part of New York's culture and history. Banning its 34.__________ in public areas such as the subway would have negative effects.Street food, and eating in public places is a deep-rooted cultural practice in cities as diverse as New York, Beijing and Paris. While 35__________, it has been traditionally thought of as the behavior of the lower classes. Eating in public was (and in some places, still is) associated with 36__________, poorer people. In the 19th century, eating in public was seen as a threat to morality and public health. Putnam's (a popular magazine at the time) stated: "Eating in public may cause a certain 37.__________ofmanner and disinterest in little ladies and gentlemen. It was something people in the Victorian era did not want to 38.__________. A recent New York Times article drew a link between this moral 39.__________ about street food and concern over the growing populations of Irish, German, Italian and Jewish 40.__________ who ran food carts in the 1800s.Whether you love eating street food, or have to eat your breakfast on the run, it's best to be considerate when enjoying a bite in public.There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. Thus we can ____31____ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. We can get ____32____ to the content of those materials easily. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was ____33____ to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can ____34____ the reader’s understanding. Such communication between unequals must be possible. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the ____35____ in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. The writer must be “____36____” to the reader in understanding. Besides, his book must ____37____ something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to ____38____ the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is ____39____, success of communication is achieved.Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading - entertainment. It is the least ____40____ and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.Imagine an urban neighborhood where most of the cars are self-driving. What would it be like to be a pedestrian?Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the run of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard-Ball looks at the __31__ of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are “autonomous” or self-driving. It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to __32__ travel behavior,” Millard-Ball says. He uses game theory to __33__ the interactions between pedestrians and self-driving vehicles, with a focus on yielding at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are by design risk-averse, Millard-Ball's model suggests that pedestrians will be able to act with impunity, and he thinks autonomous vehicles may facilitate a shift towards pedestrian-oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard-Ball also finds that the __34__ of autonomous vehicles may be hampered by their strategic disadvantage that slows them down in urban traffic.“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,” Millard-Ball writes. Crossing the street, even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the odds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street __35__, instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off against the probability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in running them down --usually. But there is the chance a driver may be __36__, or drunk.Self-driving cars are __37__ to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians to cross. They could provide the most __38__ transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, andtransportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard-Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self-driving cars -- avoiding __39__ of traffic and traffic accidents -- may be outweighed by the drawbacks of an always play-it-safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with __40__ five-year-old children,” Millard-Ball writes.Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian-oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt（伦勃朗）Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters .However,there are_____31wheth er some paintings attributed to Rembrandt were actually painted by him .One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style ,and indeed the representation ofthe woman ’s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt .But there areproblems with the painting that____32____it could not be a work by Rembrandt.First,there is something inconsistent about the way the woman in the___33__is dressed.She iswearing a whi te linen cap of a kind that only servants would wear--yet the coat she is wearing has a__34__fur collar that no servant could afford.Rembrandt,who was known for his attentionto the details of his subjects'clothing,would not have been__35_of such an inconsistency.Second,Rembrandt was a master of painting light and_______36___,but in this painting these elements do n ot fit together.The face appears to be illuminated（照亮）by light____37_____onto it from below.But below the face is the dark fur collar,which would absorb light ra ther than reflect it.So the face should appear partially in shadow,which is not how it appears.Rembrandt wouldnever have made such an error.Finally,examination of the back of the painting_____38__that it was painted on a panel madeof several pieces of wood___39___together.Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels(面板)s no painting known to be by Rembrandt was painted in this way.For these reasons,the painting was___40_from the official catalog of Rembrandt’s paintings in the1930s.The rise in stories describing events that never happened, often involving fake people in fake places, has led to Facebook and Google’s (31) ____ to deal with them. But are we really so easy to fool? According to several studies, the answer is yes: even the most obvious fake news starts to become believable if it’s (32)_____ enough times.In the months running up to the US election there was a surge(大浪) in fake news. Accordingto an analysis by Craig Silverman, a journalist, during this time the top 20 fake stories in circulation (33)_____ the top 20 stories from 19 mainstream publishers.Paul Horner, a creative publisher of fake news, has said he believes Donald Trump was elected because of him. “My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time… His followers don’t fact-check anything – they’ll post everything, believe anything,” he told the Washington Post.Silverman previously (34)_____ rumours circulating online in 2014 and found that shares and socialinteractions around fake news articles dwarfed(使...相形见绌) those of the articles that exposed them. According to Silverman, fake news stories are engineered to appeal to people’s hopes and fears, and aren’t (35)_____ by reality, which gives them the edge in creating shareable content.You might think you’re immune to falling for these lies, but a wealth of research disagrees. Back in the 1940s, researchers found that “the more a rumour is told, the more (36)_____ it sounds”. They suggested this means that a rumour born out of mild suspicion can, by gaining currency, shift public thinking and opinion.This false impression of truth was (37)_____ practically in 1977 when researchers in the US quizzed college students on the actuality of statements that they were told may be true or false. The researchers found that simply repeating the statements at a later date was enough to increase the (38)______ of the students believing them.Last year, Lisa Fazio at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and her team found that students become more likely to believe a statement that they know must be false if it is repeated.“Our research suggests that false news can and likely does affect people’s (39)_____. Even if people are conscious that a headline is false, reading it multiple times will make it seem more trustworthy,” Fazio says.Reassuringly, the team found that a person’s knowledge still has a large influence over their beliefs, but it’s still a worrying (40)______ given that falsehoods appear repeatedly in our newsfeeds every day.Good news for giant panda lovers: the cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the edge of extinction.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) __31__ the species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept. 4 at Hawaii with their __32__ growing by 17percent in the decade leading up to 2014.Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the __33__ force behind the animal's re-prosperity. The number of panda __34__ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the panda’s habitat has given them back their space with food available to them.Apart from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal's numbers have shrunk severely -dropping from around 1 million to a(n) __35__ 65,000 -- 72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s - due to commercial poaching (偷猎). Rigorous protection has since been __36__ to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.Despite the improved __37__，wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which would __38__ the species recent gains.Good progress has been made but there is still work to do. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is devoted to __39__ species from around the world and their statuses in relation to their risk of extinction. The list currently has eight categories, including extinct, extinct in the wild, __40__ endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, least concern and data deficient. These categories are based on criteria relating to population trends, size and structure, and geographic range.。

2017年上海市高考英语试卷AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today's college application fees averaging around $80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you're qualified for it.Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won't have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.1.

The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries.That is why 4 years ago—June, 2012—the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children's Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children's lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1, 000 live births by the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26, 000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2017. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products."This high-level forum inspired a global movement—Committing to Child Survival:A Promise Renewed," wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. "Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains."5.

Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.8. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action？A. Time-consuming.B. Wasteful.C. Positive.D. Cold.CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based onthem. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you're like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the "you" that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.9. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important.10. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that ______.A. one's personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with oneˈs career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality11. The intended readers for the passage are probably ______.A. receptionistsB. studentsC. office clerksD. police officersDFor many, Daylight Saving Time (DST：夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. "Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe," said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "It's not just an extra hour of sleep; it's more of a fast-forward into winter."With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. "Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It's much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out," he said. "Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan."In addition, Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. "Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits."However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin(退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy, Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.12. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular?13. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.14. The underlined word "acclimate" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by _______.A. adoptB. accelerateC. adaptD. acknowledge15. The passage is probably taken from _______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statementSome Ways to Avoid Getting Sick Nobody enjoys being sick but even the best of us can fall sick. Changes in the environment, such as the quality of the air we breathe, can lead to development of certain illnesses like allergies or cancer, when the body's own immune system works against it. (1)1. Eat Healthily. First of all, stick to a healthy diet. Even if you eat less, it is of great help not to skip meals. Bread with butter/jam, an egg or milk at breakfast, or fruits or fruit juice would be good for breakfast. (2) Dinner ideally should consist of soup and vegetables or non-vegetarian fare. Reward yourself with some cookies, even chocolates during the day or at tea-time.2. (3) Exercising is vital. You don't have to be a fitness freak. Performing some household chores or shopping or even climbing stairs instead of taking the lift helpsto bum off calories. Exercises at the beginning of the day will help more and tone up the body. The heavy-eaters have to exercise more, and vigorously.3. Say no to cigarette smoking. It's been medically proved-cigarette smoking does cause cancer, but sadly people get addicted. (4) If people around you can suffer from secondary smoking, how much are you hurting yourself? Cigar-smoking is recommended for those who love to light up.4. Cheers for the good news! We all like the cup that cheers. Poets have written poems to alcohol, songsters are great fans and everyone raises a toast now andthen. (5) If you love to drink, consult your physician and work out what and how much suits you best.A. Doing exercise is a must.B. Have a scheduled daily routine.C. The next time you want to reach out for that cigarette packet, think again.D. We can try, however, to maintain good health by picking up a few healthy habits.E. Lunch can be light, perhaps vegetable/cheese-chicken and steaks are available for the non-pork eaters.F. But too much of alcohol or wine is sure to burn up something inside you, which won't be calories but a certain organ of the body.G. A peaceful walk can also help you to relax as you are bathed in the sunshine—oxygen and vitamin D—while you bum up calories in a favorite manner.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C.

Organic foods are usually more expensive, makes people unwilling to spend the extra money. Besides, they do have certain advantages. To begin with, farmers doesn't use harmful chemicals on organically grown foods. As matter of fact, this is one of the reasons that organic foods are more expensive. Without such chemicals, they need more care to stay health. Organically grown foods also had more nutrition than regular ones because the soil is careful done in a higher standard. According to study, organically grown foods provide with 21.1 percent more irons and 27 percent more vitamin C than regular ones on the average.43. 共享单车（ bike-sharing）在中国发展迅猛，为出行带来了便利，有效缓解了交通压力。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.” But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, 41___ a huge amount of dull work. Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, 42___ feedback, modification, and increasingimprovement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be 43___ or boring.Why?The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “follow,” the felling of being completely 44___ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,”or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the 45___ of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most commonwhen a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) 46___ skill level, and where the individual is able to 47___ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most 48___ entered into flow states ha d an “autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also 49___ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest”have a great advantage over others in developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who a ren’t 51___ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be 52___ by environmental factors. 53___, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn mundane practiceinto a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some 54___, to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal 55___, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.A. inquires B. requires C. acquires D. gains42.A. preventable B. maintainable C. sustainable D. critical43.A. frustrating B. encouraging C. concerning D. instructing44.A. improved B. indicated C. involved D. inspired45.A. concept B. receipt C. reception D. condition46.A. alternative B. appropriate C. approximate D. sufficient47.A. make B. adopt C. adapt D. adjust48.A. fully B. really C. readily D. accidentally49.A. generous B. persistent C. courageous D. resistant50.A. addict B. advance C. advantage D. admire51.A. necessarily B. obviously C. gradually D. occasionally52.A. forbidden B. functioned C. fastened D. facilitated53.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new toour society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers.The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple:keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Although writing a means of expression, not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.Lastly, sometimes it takes a film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers, whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us or the things we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.56.Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by .A.keeping in mind that every word should mean something.B.providing a description of as many details as possible.C.paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity.D.choosing the perfect word to go with his/her thought.57.According to the passage, films help writers develop in many aspects except .A.getting an improved expressivenessB.focusing on keeping the story moving.plicating their thinking and life .D.bringing in inspiration foe new works.58.The word “prompt” (paragraph 4 ) probably means.A.a reason to write.B.a topic to start from.C.an excuse to put off working .D.an element to attract relationship.59.Which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughts in this passage?A.Book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry.B.Directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers.C.Writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things.D.Filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves.(B)American AirlinesDate of Issue: 233 JAN10Ping Luo:Thank you for choosing American Airlines/American Eagle, amember of the one world TM Alliance.

Geriatric wards are bedlam and bonkers. A toothless woman screaming when left alone, a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling. A woman effing and blinding----the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change. A woman who lives the same moment in repeat, dressed up for going home in a bright red, over the dressing grown, asking for the key to her house, saying over and over: “Am I going home today?”And though my mum, by the time she was released, knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees. It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror. Just as we live in a so ciety that hasn’t caught up with technology, the kind of moral choices it gives people, we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population. We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat ourageing population. Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling.There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees. The old are often displaced from their homes, moved out against their will; decisions are often made for them that they have no say over. Often, they are treated as fools or halfwits, crowded together in one place,given clothes that don’t belong to them, treated as a fallen tribe, incapable of any individuality. Nobody imagined my mother was a secretary of the Scottish peace movement, a primary teacher, a lifelong socialist, a witty woman. Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said: “going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God sa ve from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?”63.The treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to .A.prove they have a lot in common.B.show the terrible status of the old.C.display their similarities and differences.D.indicate that old people have to leave their home.64.We can be inferred from the passage?A.refugees lead a better life than old male patients.B.old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality.C.the author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist in the meanwhile.D.the treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances.65.The author’s mom felt that life in the hospital .A. made her much older.B. created her a mature woman.C. enable her to look back at life.D. let her full of gratitude to children.66.The passage mainly discussed .A.the life of refugees and old people.B.social responsibility to old women.C.improper treatment of old people.D.preparing for ageing parents.Section CDirections: 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.What would happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian?People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to make animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 67 And the more who make the switch, the more those perks would manifest on a global scale.Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight.First, they examined climate change. Food productionaccounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry. 68 In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars – but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.69 Of the world’s app roximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland(牧场) to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change.The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. 70 That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock – not for humans.Summary Writing：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.Learning by Rote in the Digital AgeRote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’.The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about 6 seconds? But now there arevoices for a need to return to rote learning.In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and lawyering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject.While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun.Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress.Once you’ve acqui red the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important.V.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hour’s a week on the Internet experienced more ___41_ and loneliness than those who __42__ on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net ___43___ appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely __44__ to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove __45__ healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time __46__ for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless “__47__” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that __48__ to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology; it’s about how it’s used,” says psychologist Chirstine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s __49__. “ It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you __50__ applications and services for technology.”Recently, British universtiy researchers said that a computer programme can help Asian students to deal with ___41_ English accents which are difficult to understand. This is good news for students who get ___42___ by different English accents.Computer scientists at Nottingham University said that some Asian students in Britian find it difficult to understand the range of different English accents.

But more variations can be difficult to understand.Difficulties can be eperiencec in the process of differentiating sounds at the end of spoken English words, like rope versus robe, and at the start, like tin versus thin. This can make __45____ speech difficult to follow, as misunderstanding a single word can potentially change the whole ___46___ of a sentence. It would be useful to have something that would make it easier for foreign students to understand different English accents.The researchers’ Spoken English Discrimination (SED) training programme can train Chinese speakers in how to ___47___ differences in speech sounds in difficult conditions, such as accented speech or in situations in which there are a number of sounds in the background, a university release reported.“Our findings have shown that SED training programme really does have a significant __48____ on enabling Asian students to differentiate between sounds,”reseacher, Nicola Pitchford said. “There is a __49____ potential for SED. There has already been interest in theprogramme, from government organizations, through to a major Chinese mobile phone company who os interested in developing it into an educational phone ___50___.”twentieth anniversary of Earth Day.

Many in-home jobs that used to be done ______ by women-ranging from family shopping to preparing meals to doing ______ work-still need to be done by someone. Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ______ that hs changed the target market for many products. Or a working woman may face a crushing “poverty of time” and look for help elsewhere, creating opportunities for producers of frozen meals, child-care ceters, dry cleaners, financial services, and the like.Although there is still a big wage ______ between men and women, the income working women ______ gives them new independence and buying power. For example, women now ______ aobut half of all cars. Not long ago, many car dealers ______ women shoopers by ignoring them or suggesting that they come back with their husbands. Now car companies have realized that women are ______ customers. It’s interesting that some leading Japanese car dealers were the first to ______ pay attention to women customers. In Japan, fewer women have jobs or buy cars –the Japanese society is still very much male-oriented. Perhaps it was the ______ contrast with Japanese society that prompted American firms to pay more attention to womenbuyers.Reading is one of the important skills in English learning. Its purpose is to enlarge their vocabulary and familiarize themselves with background __41____ about English and to cultivate students’ careful observation and their logic thinking. What is more, it is to __42____ students’comprehension. I have tried to train my students in the following ways: skimming and scanning, author’s viewpoint, __43____ of the passage, structure of paragraphs, students’anticipation, punctuation and summarizing.

The students ask them to have these in mind: for which the passage was __46____, what type of passage it is, what the purpose and attitude of the __47____ is and what the style of the article is.After having skimmed the passage, the students can study the passage in more detail, reading more slowly and ___48___ and looking for specific information that the questions are concerned with. This is called scanning.

Especially pay attention to the first __50____ and the last sentence of the paragraph.It can be risky to generalize about the literature of any culture or group.

All Asian-American groups carried __48___ customs and practices with them, and sometimes these were looked on with ___47___ by their new countrymen.

2017、2018年春考&秋考语填、词汇、完型专项（一）2017年春II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: 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.“Zootopia” Broke Disney RecordsLast weekend, the latest Disney movie, “Zootopia,” broke records. The movie had the largest opening weekend for a Disney animation（动画片）. People across the United States bought more then $75 million worth of tickets.“Zootopia” is a city of animals. The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal (21) team up to find a missing otter（水獭）.He is among several animals that have suddenly disappeared from the city.“Zootopia” (22) (praise) for its sharp humor and strong message since its release. The film explores racism and other issues in its description of relations (23) two kinds of animals in the city.Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia.” They told reporters that it started out as a spy movie (24) (set) in several different contexts. But they changed the story (25) they found the animal world especially interesting. They said to (26) something like this. “What’s this world like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, Bush said, they went to the experts. Not only (27) the writers speak with people who study couture and group behavior, but also they talked with animal experts like zookeepers.The creators have noted that the variety of animals was not easy (28) (produce) in drawings. In the movie, 64 species live in multiple neighborhoods (29) (represent) different animals’ living environments. Disney says “Zootopia” is its (30) (complex) animation yet. The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.Section BDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 31 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet, they appeared to 32 that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”, there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to 33 . The problem was that people seemed to doso in the same way.“Users are becoming slightly more 34 of what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”But 35 no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this---and in 20 per cent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account, had have a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to 36 on.Although the services is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!, said that it was “the first step to 37 passwords”. He said it was a(n) 38 that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “wasspord” or, tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 13tt3r5.“We are, for the most part, predictably 39 when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups,” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 40 , and so do password crackers.III.

Or have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger even though you’re in a(n) 41 situation? If you don’t believe in it, you’ll put it down to 42 and on overactive imagination. But some people believe it is 43 that there is a sixth sense beyond smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight. Now, scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists, but also to find out how you can 44 it to your advantage.Dean Radin, a researcher in California, has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit（招募）4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are any 45 instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict outcomes. The results so far are 46 . In a card test, where you have to 47 which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture, the top scorers hit the right card 48% of the time—the 48 of this happening are 2,669 to 1.49 , Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that are designed to stimulate a specific responses. In the experiment, participants sit alone in a room in front of a computer, with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin resistance and blood flow, which are measures of emotional arousal. Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining 50 before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists, the question is, does it actually 51 ? Radin says it does. “the future of our civilisation depends on 52 that are being made now,whether it’s about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products. We don’t have answers to these important questions, yet what we decide on will 53 our lives for decades or longer. Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the 54 ,” he says. “If it turns out that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time, as I believe the data shows, then 55 this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.41.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The idea that “you get what you earn” is widely accepted as what is “fair” in most Western societies. __41__, this attitude appears very early in childhood: Children as young as three believe that hard work deserves more reward. But is this belief __42__?German psychologist Marie Schafer and her team decided to put this to the test, studying the __43__ of children, four to eleven years old, in three different cultures: Germany, Namibia and Kenya. The scientists asked the children to go fishing. In this case, the “fish” were metal balls, which the children tried to “catch” with magnetized fishing rods (磁性钓鱼竿). The idea was to test how much the children valued merit (值得嘉奖的成果). So each child was given a number of sweets equal to the total number of fish in the catch, and was told to __44__ the sweets any way he or she wanted. If they valued merit, children should divide up the sweets according to shares of the catch. This is, if they caught the same number of fish, they would choose to reward each one __45__, but if one did a better job of fishing, rewards would also be disproportionate.__46__ matters. That’s the main finding from the study published in the journal Psychological Science. The German children divided up the rewards exactly in proportion to __47__, even when this meant a very unbalanced distribution of rewards. __48__, children from Namibia and Kenya, the two rural African societies, barely took merit into consideration at all. These findings suggest that the basic concept of merit and distributive justice is far from universal in our species, and that __49__ is culturally defined.But __50__? The scientists offer some thoughts on this. It could be that in large-scale societies like Germany, merit is __51__ for regulating interactions between people who don’t know each other and may not interact again. In small-scale societies, however, most exchanges take place between people who are __52__ with one another. It may be more important in such societies to build long-term relationships based on equity (公道)---rather than to insist on equity in a single __53__. In societies like the one where the group of children from Namibia came from, sharing is an important approach to __54__ differences in wealth and increasing harmony. Children may accept these social values early on, and apply them even when the fishing trip is __55__.41. A. On the contrary B. First of all C. In addition D. What’s more42.

Some are from Cantonese(广东话).The English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems ___31___. It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which refers to the act of kneeling and lowering one’s head as a sign of respect to ___32___. In 1793, Britain’s King set Lord George Macartney and other tradesmen to China to ___33___ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow to the emperor. Lord Macartney refused for his ___34___ to do more than bend their knees. Soon after, the English word “kowtow” was born.Another borrowed word that came about through ___ 35___ between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho means extremely excited about doing something. The Chinese characters “gong” and “he” together mean “work together, cooperate.” The original term---gongyehezuoshe---means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. Evans Carlson of the United States Marine Corps observed these cooperatives while in China. He was impressed, saying “…all the soldiers ___36___ themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea over.” He thenbegan using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to create the same spirit he had ___37___.In English, a typhoon is a very powerful and ___38___ storm occurring around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. According to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were India and were called “touffons.” Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese world taifung, which means “great wind.” It is a coincidence that the word is ___39___ to touffon. The modern form of the word---typhoon---was influenced by the Cantonese but ___40___ to make it appear more Greek.Ⅲ.

The study found that the percentage of adolescents in America who have a driver’s license, who have tried alcohol, who date and who work for pay has dropped since 1976, with the most dramatic __43__ in the past decade. To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the __44__ have slimmed considerably. Between 1976, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date; between 2010 and 2015, only 63 percent had, the study found.“People say, ‘Oh, it’s because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring,’ but they’re __45__ the larger trend,” said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study. Instead, she said, youths may be less __46__ activities such as dating or driving because in today’s society, they no longer need to be.According to an evolutionary-psychology theory, a person’s life strategy slows down or speeds up depending on the person’s __47__. Thus, exposure to a fierce and unpredictable environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has the __48__ effect. In the first __49__, “you’d have a lot of kids and be in survival mode, start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more __50__ and fewer resources,” said Twenge. A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less common, “the goal back then was survival, not violin lessons by 5,” Twenge said. In that model, a teenage boy might be thinking more __51__ about marriage, and driving a car and working for pay would be important.But the United States is shifting more toward the __52__ model, and the change is apparent in socioeconomic terms, Twenge said. “Even in families whose parents have never been to college, the idea that children need to be carefully __53__ has become widely accepted.”The __54__ of “adult activities” could not be due to more homework or after-school activities, the study said, nothing that teens today spend fewer hours on homework than they did I the 1990s and the same amount of time on after-school activities. Nor could the use ofsmartphones and the Internet be entirely the __55__, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available.41. A. Rather B. Consequently C. Moreover D.
