Each tiny insect eye sees only a tiny part．Besides，what if you needed glasses? Be glad for the eyesight that you have．。

2018～2018学年度上学期12月月考试题高三英语试卷考试时间120分钟试题分数150卷I第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共 2 节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AOn one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,” Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to fin d a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi.“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” Welty added. “And I said: ‘Now you kno w. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native land and from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only afragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.21. What happened when Welty was with her friends at the café?A. Two strangers joined her.B. Her childhood friends came in.C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.D. Some people held a party there.22. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s________ .A. readersB. partiesC. friendsD. stories23. What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fictio n?A. They live in big cities.B. They are mostly women.C. They come from real life.D. They are pleasure seekers.BAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet was changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people used the Internet, they did not remember the information. Rather, they remembered how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to ______.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's altitudeC. describe how to use the Interne.D. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people ______.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.CHow to Train Your Dragon by British author Cressida Cowell is one of the best pieces of children’s literature. A child can make a whole alter native universe with a vivid imagination and Toothless, the hero’s hunting dragon, thus turning a rainy day into an adventure of lifetime. However, if you have never read the book but instead choose to see the film version, you might think you were seeing a new-age war movie meant for adults rather than children.Let’s look at Where the Wild Things Are for further discussion. The story centers around a lovely eight-year-old boy named Max, who sails away to an island. Creatures living there declare Max their king. What an amazing piece of children’s literature! A treasure for every child’s library. Yet, children were crying in the movie theatre. Owls were falling from the sky, chicken’s arms were being torn off, and a child was running around a dark abandoned world, fighting evil as the only human. It was almost as if Hollywood could not imagine children enjoying a movie for its basic literature content. Hollywood might be right. But the audiences are complaining that there is more and more violence in ch ildren’s stories today than in the past.While there appears to be a trend in our society to make more violence more accessible to younger children, books and literature are generally an exception. I truly believe that children’sliterature has become more vivid and colorful. This is a great treasure for the children, and is certainly not violent. What has changed the children’s stories of today is not the writers, but the film industry. In some way, children’s literature is just being strangely twiste d. I wonder how much influence the author has over this.28. What can be inferred about the film Where the Wild Things Are?A. It is moving.B. It is frightening.C. It is interesting.D. It is amazing.29. Which of the following does the writer probably agree with?A. The film industry’s treatment of children’s literature is wrong.B. Writers should provide more colorful works for children.C. There is an increase in violence in children’s literature.D. Children should read books rather than see films.30. How is the text mainly developed？A. By inferringB. By giving explanations.C. By providing examples.D. By making comparisons.31. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. To make comments on two novels.B. To introduce two authors to children.C. To call for more attention to children’s literature.D. To criticize some movies adapted from children’s literature.DIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, developers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator(参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns cameto light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else, can be obtained an d even posted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F.T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get thi s changed without any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work , we’ll consider legislative (法律的)approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant(警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.33. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the technology to open the door to privacy invasion___________.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequentlyB. can be used if permittedC. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal informationD. causes personal information to be posted online without permission34. If the privacy concerns can’t be solved with the help of the F.T.C., ___________.A. The senators will force the companies not to invade privacyB. The companies will be closedC. The companies will be finedD. The senators will turn to legislation35. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a travel brochure.C. In a sci-fi magazineD. In a textbook.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。

2018学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷高三英语试题2018.12高三英语试卷(听力略）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.Please mind the silenceDespite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that (21) __________ you’re packed into an enclosed space with hundreds of other people,the morning commute (上下班）can leave you feeling somewhat isolated.One London resident, however, is trying to change this.“You get on the Tube here and ifs completely silent and ifs weird," says Jonathan Dunne, 42,an American living in London, who has, ironically, started (22) _________ worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (黴章）with the slogan “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging commuters in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting many refusals and most of them (23)__________ (throw) away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign (24)_________ (feature) in media across the world ever since, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his sentiment. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of (25) __________ own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them.“I (26)_______ h ardly stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he told the BBC. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and (27) ____________ work. It doesn’tneed to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says. While London has its seemingly antisocial set of regulations to follow, not everywhere lacks a sense of community.Does Dunne hope that some of this community spirit (28) _______________ (mirror) in the UK following his campaign? “People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, (29)____________ I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” he says. “On Monday, Oct 10, the curator (馆长）of the London Transport Museum had me over for tea.”So if you ever end up (30) _______ (use) public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The rise in stories describing events that never happened, often involving fake people in fake places, has led to Facebook and Google’s (31) ______ t o 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 swrge(大浪）in fake news. According to 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 2018 and found that sharesand social interactions 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’shopes and fears, and aren’t (35)_______ by reality, which gives them the edge in creating shareable content.You might think you’re im mune 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) _______ p ractically 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 ifpeople 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.II.ReadingComprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there arc four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Two key climate change indicators — global surface temperatures and Arctic sea ice extent —have broken numerous records through the first half of 2018, according to NASA analyses of ground-based observations and satellite data. Each of the first six months of 2018 set a record as the warmest (41) month globally in the modern temperature record, which (42) 1880,according to scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. The six-month period from January to June was also the planet's warmest half-year on record, with a(n) (43) ________ temperature 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the late nineteenth century.Five of the first six months of 2018 also (44) _________ the smallest respective monthly Arctic sea ice (45)_______ since regular satellite records began in 1979, according to analyses developedby scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland. The one (46)_____, March, recorded the second smallest for that month.(47) ____ these two key climate indicators have broken records in 2018, NASA scientistssaid it is more significant that global temperature and Arctic sea ice are continuing theirdecades-long trends of change. Both trends are ultimately driven by rising (48) ________________ of heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The extent of Arctic sea ice at the peak of the summer melt season now typically (49) _________ 40 percent less area than it did in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Arctic sea ice extent in September, the seasonal low point in the annual cycle, has been (50) ___________ at a rate of 13.4 percent per decade."While the El Nino event in the tropical Pacific this winter (51) ___________ the gaining global temperatures from October, it is the basic trend which is producing these record numbers," GISS Director Gavin Schmidt said.(52) ____ El Nino events have driven temperatures to what were then record levels, such asin 1998. But in 2018, even as the effects of the recent El Nino wear off, global temperatures haverisen well beyond those of 18 years ago (53) _________ t he overall warming that has taken place in that time.The global trend in rising temperatures falls behind the regional (54) _______ in the Arctic, said Walt Meier, a sea ice scientist at NASA Goddard."It has been a record year so far for global temperatures, but the record high temperatures in the Arctic over the past six months have been even more extreme," Meier said. "This warmth as well as unusual weather (55) _____________ h ave led to the record low sea ice extents so far this year."Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ALate one autumn day at the aquatic center (水上运动中心）in Ancenis, France, something went quietly, horribly wrong. An 18-year-old named Jean-Francois LeRoy was a regular, coming often in the early evenings to swim in the 25-meter pool. Drownings are often difficult to spot. Most are near-silent incidents where the victim quickly sinks out of view. On this particular day maybe the lifeguards weren't paying as close attention as they should have been. Certainly they believed the tall athletic LeRoy was not a high-risk swimmer.But on this evening LeRoy was practicing apnea(屏气）swimming—testing how far he could swim underwater on one breath—and at some point, without making any visible or audible disturbance on the water's surface, he lost consciousness. The guards failed to notice as he stopped swimming and sank to the bottom of the deep end of the pool. With his arms crossed over his head and his feet twitching (抽搐),he was unconscious and drowning. It would lake him as little as four minutes to die.Although the human lifeguards witching the pool were unaware, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing and taking notice. Just nine months earlier the center had installed a state-of-the-art electronic surveillance system called Poseidon, a network of cameras that feeds a computer programmed to use a set of complex mathematical procedure to distinguish between normal and distressed swimming. Poseidon covers a pool's entire swimming area and can distinguish among dim reflections, shadows, and actual swimmers. It can also tell when real swimmers are moving in a way they're not supposed to. When the computer detects a possible problem, it instantly activates a beeper to warn lifeguards and displays the exact incident location on a monitor. The rest is up to the humans above the water.Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed the large, sinking lump that was Jean-Francois LeRoy, lifeguards had LeRoy out of the pool and gave him first aid. He started breathing again. After one night in the local hospital, he was released with no permanent damage. Poseidon had saved his life.56.People sometimes fail to detect accidents in the swimming pool because ___________ .A.lifeguards neglect their dutiesB. drowning men don’t struggle in waterC.there is no electronic surveillance system installedD.drownings often occur quietly and quickly57.Which of the following statements in NOT true?A.Lifeguards will give way to Poseidon system.B.Poseidon system can locate drowning incidents.C.Poseidon system can pick out unusual swimmers.D.Lifeguards will count on Poseidon system.58.The purpose of this passage is to ________________ .A.publicize a machine which can watch out for swimmers in distressB.tell people what may happen in a swimming poolC.warn swimmers not to swim underwater aloneD.advertise an aquatic center equipped with state-of-the-art devicesBThe first animals on earth were never able to achieve much in the world because they lived in the sea, which provided limited oxygen, and they had no backbone. For ages there were many kinds of these animals living in the sea and on land. They differed widely from each other and included such creatures as insects and worms. They had no brain, and therefore none of these animals without a backbone has ever been of much importance. They are wonderfully made but differ so widely that it is really impossible to arrange them in a simple order. However, those who study the different kinds of backboned animals find they can all be arranged in a simple way. More importantly, it is possible to show which class evolved first, which last, and so on.The five great classes of backboned animals are: fishes, amphibian, reptiles, birds and mammals. A common amphibian is the frog which is able to live in water and on land. A mammal feeds its young by giving milk. There are very great differences between a fish, a frog, a horse, a bird and a man; yet they all have a backbone.A great step was taken when some creatures swam ashore. Perhaps it all began when the frog developed. Even today, a baby frog, the tadpole, begins as a fish, having gills (鳃),but then becomes a frog with lungs. The frog even develops feet and hands similar to ours in bone structure. Ages ago the first frog laid down the plan of the kind of limbs(肢）which all backboned animals, including humans, have bad, though some of them, like the bird, do not keep this kind offive-fingered limb all their lives.When the frog has grown from a tadpole to a backboned animal with four limbs, breathing air by means of lungs, it is very like certain of the next class ofbackboned animals-- the reptiles. The larger reptiles living on earth for manyyear ago were dinosaurs. Some of the smaller ones grew stretches of skinbetween their outspread fingers to form wings. We do know, from fessilized(化石的）remains, that the first birds were flying reptiles with sharp teeth. Whata strange world it must have been during these times!59. The author believes that animals without backbones ______.A. had no brain so they did not surviveB. were difficult to classifyC. have been important creaturesD. are easily placed in order of arrival60. From the article we can know ______.A. animals had a backbone but no brainB. insects came from wormsC.animals came from insectsD. the time order of species61.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.The first bird developed from a flying fish.B.The horse belongs to the amphibian family.C.The hand of a frog has four fingers and a thumb.D.All the animals have got backbones inside their body.62.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.How Backboned Animals EvolvedB. How to Classify All Living ThingsC. The Life Cycle of a FrogD. How the First Bird FlewCUntil 1964 most forms of gambling were illegal in the United States. Since then, however, more and more stales have legalized gambling in order to raise income. The U. S. gambling industry has gone from an attitude of “prohibition” to one of “promotion”, as all but five states have now legalized gambling as a solution to their depressed economies.Most states in the United States now depend on incomes from state lotteries (博彩）and use them for good causes, such as improving public education, maintaining slate parks, and developing environmental programs.State governments maintain that the voluntary contribution of funds through state lotteries is preferable to increase state sales or income taxes, and the residents of states using the lottery system tend to support this. The gaming industry has also benefited some of the nation's poorest citizens: Native Americans. The U. S. government ruled in 1988 that slates could not tax the revenues earned by gambling on Native American reservations. Having taken advantage of this ruling an open cosmos (赌场）on their reservations, many Native Americans moved from a life of poverty to a life of wealth.Although there are many advantages to legalized gambling, there has also been a good deal of criticism of state-supported gambling. As states increase their support of state lotteries, they seem to encourage commercial gambling in all its forms. About 50 percent of the U. S. population plays the lottery, according to a study by the University of Chicago. This trend has led to an increase in habitual gambling. More than 5 million Americans suffer from gambling addiction. Those most at risk of becoming addicted include the poor, young people between twelve and eighteen years old, and women over the age of fifty, who are looking for some entertainment. As a result, many of them will end up in prison or even homeless. The promise of winning big fortune has created big problems.Perhaps the most important concern is the moral issue of legalized gambling. The lottery is the only form of gambling that is essentially a government control. Critics ask whether gambling is a proper function of government. Should the government be the spokesman for the expansion of gambling? Critics say state advertising of lotto emphasizes luck over hard work, instant happiness over careful planning and entertainment over savings. The traditional work ethic (道德准则) is being devalued by the pipedream of striking it rich, and this is sending confusing messages to young people.In 1996, Congress created a commission to conduct a legal study of the social and economic impacts of gambling in the United States. After two years of study, the Commission recommended an end to the expansion of legalized gambling and a ban on Internet gambling. Some feel this will severely hurt the gambling industry. Others fear that it is not enough and are asking the government to take a tough stand against gambling.63.According to the passage, we know that _________ .A.any forms of gambling were banned before 1964 in the USAB. the economical problems led to the rise of gambling industry in the USAC. all American stales have legalized gambling since 1964D. only five states have now legalized gambling because of the depressed economies64.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A.State lottery system helps to raise money to improve people's public welfare. B. Gambling industry helps to change the American way of life. C. Gambling industry helps to improve the life of some poor Native Americans. D. State lottery system helps to increase state sales or income taxes.65. What is the author most concerned about?A. The expanding of the gambling industry.B. The suffering of the gambling-addicted people.C. The moral problems brought about by the legalized gambling.D. The disadvantage of Internet gambling.66. In Paragraph 5, the word “pipedream " means ___________ .A. wonderful ideaB. creative ideaC. unworkable planD. practical plan Section CDrectons: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you needA few years ago, a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce. Then there was Candy Crush, where players could save a candy kingdom by matching like-colored bonbons.attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality. All they had to do is resign themselves to the logic of the game, a world of simple cause-and-effect: Slingshot a bird, kill a pig, score points.Fast forward to 2018, and there's now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know. The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories, and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game's nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. Logic replaced illogic. Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for thebig screen. Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2018’s The Lego Movie. Countless secondary characters have also been pulled from the sidelines and given their own opportunities to show on thelonger have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favorite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film5s source materials: An endless flow of prequels(前传)， sequels(续传）and spin-offs（衍生产品）fill in those blanks for them.________70 They'll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well, angry. In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers, by expanding and exploring every corner of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely, what will be left to imagine?IV.Summary WritingD irections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the ma/n point(s) of the passage /n no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Are we born with a preference for certain kinds of faces? Or is it just something that people learn, without realizing it? To find out, psychologist Judith Langlois and her team at the University of Texas in Austin worked with young children and babies.The researchers showed each baby photos of two faces. One face was more attractive than the other. The scientists then recorded how long the infants looked at each face.Babies spent longer viewing the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. That meant they preferred the pretty faces. These findings suggest that people prefer pretty faces very early in life. However, it’s still possible that we learn that preference. After all, Schein, who worked with Judith, points out, “By the time we test infants, they already have experience with faces.”That experience can make a difference. Research conducted at the University of Delaware found that babies’ brains are better at processing faces from their own race. So infants quickly come to prefer these faces, Schein says.It’s well-known in psychology that familiar things are more attractive, says Coren Apicella. She is a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “Perhaps average faces are more attractive because they seem more familiar.”Indeed, her research backs this up. Apicella and Little worked with two groups of young adults: British and Hadza. The Hadza are hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, a nation in East Africa. Apicella chose them for her experiment because they had not been exposed to Western culture and standards of beauty.She showed people from both groups two images and asked which was more attractive. One image was an average of five British faces or five Hadza faces. The other was an average of 20 British faces or 20 Hadza faces. People of both cultures preferred the face that was more average —that is, compiled from 20 faces instead of five. The British participants found both Hadza and British faces beautiful. The Hadza, in contrast, preferred only Hadza faces.“The Hadza have little experience with European faces and probably do not know what an average European face looks like,” Apicella concludes. “If they don't know what it looks like, how can they prefer it?”Her findings show how biology and the environment work together to shape our values. “The preference for average itself is biologically based,” Apicella says. But people mu st first experience otherfaces to learn what an average face should look like.TranslationDrectons: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我以为你会和我一起乘高铁去北京。

My parents, although sympathetic, and sharing my love of music, disapproved of it as a profession. This was understandable in view of the family background. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years. Though much respected in the community, he earned barely enough to provide for his large family. As a consequence of this example in the family, the very mention of music as a profession carried with it a picture of a risky existence with uncertain financial rewards. My parents insisted on college instead of a conservatory of music, and to college I went — quite happily, as I remember, for although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing, I had many other interests.Before my graduation, the family met with severe financial reverses and I felt it my duty to leave college and take a job. Thus I launched upon a business career — which I always think of as the wasted years.Now I do not for a moment mean to disparage（藐视）business. My whole point is that it was not for me. I went into it for money, and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family, money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. From being merely discontented I becamemiserable. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, accumulated enough to enable me to go abroad to study music. The family being once more solvent（有偿付能力的）, and my help no longer necessary. I resigned from my position and, feeling like a man released from jail, sailed for the world of music. I stayed in Europe for four years and enjoyed every minute of it.“Enjoyed” is too mild a word. I walked on air. I really lived. I was a free man and I was doing what I loved to do and what I was meant to do.If I had stayed in business, I might be a comparatively wealthy man today, but I do not believe I would have made a success of living. I would have given up all those inner satisfactions that money can never buy.56.Which of the following statements about the writer’s parents is TRUE?A. They had no passion for music at all.B.

Many companies even encourage us to perform multiple things at once, creating open office spaces that promote impromptu(临时的) dialogues to go along with jobs that require us to handle totally different tasks at the same time.But a growing number of researchers say that trying to perform multiple tasks makes you less productive. It turns out that you get more done when you focus on a single task.That’s because our brains are hardwired to do one thing at a time. When we think we are multi-tasking, we’re really not. Instead, as far as our brains are concerned, we are fully switching back and forth between tasks.Doing that repeatedly tires out the brain and lowers cognitive(认知的) ability, research shows. “It’s never multitasking,” says Devora Zack, author of the book Single tasking. “And it completely backfires in every sense of the word.”Multitasking “produces shallower thinking, reduces creativity, increases errors and low ersour ability to block irrelevant information,” says Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder and chief director, Center for Brain Health at The University of Texas at Dallas. Because the brain was not built to multitask, over time it can lead to heightened levels of stress and depression and lower overall intellectual capacity, she says.Yet despite mounting evidence that multitasking isn’t effective, old attitudes combined with new technology make multitasking popular in most work places.We have ourselves to blame, in part. When we do a lot of things at once, say, answering emails while writing a report or taking a call while we’re in a meeting, it makes us feel busy and productive, says Dr. Christine Carter, executive director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.“Busyness is a sign of importance, which serves the old guard,” says Carter. “There is the myth(误区) that the more time you spend in the office, the better worker you are.”She sees that attitude as a hangover from the prime of industrialization when we clocked in and out of factories and offices. Back then the myth was manageable, because people usually left work at the office when they went home in the evenings. “The whole thing got blown out of balance with the rise of laptops and email,” she says.“Complicating matters,” writes Chapman, “technology is actually rewiring our brains to be addicted to interruption, as we anxiously wait for the next ping signaling a new email, text or social media post.” In other words, like any addiction, even though we know interruptions are bad for us, they are hard to switch off.“We suffer as a society from scatt ered brain syndrome(综合症)", says Single tasking author Zack. "It’s everywhere—throughout our work lives and personal lives."63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?A. Multitasking works well in offices.B. Multitasking produces opposite effect.C. Multitasking is unavoidably a trend of today.D. Multitasking has both advantages and disadvantages.64. According to the passage, which of the following is not among the negative effects ofmultitasking?A. Reducing creativity.B. Getting distracted.C. Increasing stress.D. Feeling unimportant.65. Dr. Christine Carter’s holds the view that________.A. busyness is a sign of importanceB. things have changed with the rise of laptops and emailC. technology is resetting our brains to get used to interruptionD. the more time you spend in the office, the better worker you are66. What can best describe the author’s opinion about multitasking?A. Popular but harmful.B. Once addicted, always addicted.C. Technology helps.D. Multi or single, still a question.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box._____67_____ By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Grey wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. _____68_____ They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —major food sources for the wolf –grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation, which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percent age of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers._____69_____ They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolfpacks in Yellowstone. _____70_____ The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.第II 卷(共50分)I.

Sichuan cuisine(美食) is facing a crisis.It seems surprising to hear such concern, since Sichuan cuisine has been conquering the world and gain ing considerable popularity abroad as China’s favorite out-of-home dining.But according to some old and experienced cooks, the rapid growth has worsened the cuisine. Many cooks now are pursuing spicier and spicier food, ignoring the great variety of the cuisine. Thus, the simplification of tastes has created a crisis, sending a strong shocking wave into the time-honored but complex traditions. Early this year, I watched a young cook add green vegetable to Kung Pao Chicken, which should be a wonderful mix of chicken, peanuts, red chillies and spices.However, voices from many young cooks throws light on the new demands on Sichuan cuisine in the modern time—“There’s no survival without innovation.” They hold the view that we do have to maintain the tradi tion, but it’s not a display in a museum. What makes sense is that although Sichuanese cooking is classified as one of the eight great cuisines of China, its roots are quite shallow, so after over several centuries of trade and migration, outsiders brought in a varietyof new ingredients and cooking techniques. These influences combined only several generations ago to create an unusually tasty cuisine.I believe the attractiveness of Sichuan cuisine is that it’s a big melting pot. Whatever is attractive in other cuisines, it can be absorbed and adapted to Sichuan cuisine. It’s not right to judge who is right and who is wrong, but it is clear that we should preserve the essence of tradition, while meeting modern expectations as well.II.
