In 1957 he was diagnosed with can cer, and given only days to live. He had tumours（肿瘤）the size of oranges. He heard that scientists had discovered a new medication, Krebiozen, that was ___41___ against cancer, and he begged the doctor to give it to him. His physician, Dr Phillip West, finally agreed. After Mr. Wright had been given an injection on a Friday afternoon, the ___42___doctor found his patient out of his “death bed”, joking with the nurses the following Monday. “The tumours”, the doctor wrote later, “had ___43___ like snow balls o n a hot stove.”Two months later, Wright read medical reports that the medication was fake. His condition immediately got worse again. “Don’t ___44____ what you read in papers,” the doctor told Wright. Then he injected him with what he said was “a ne w super-refined double strength” version of the drug. ___45___,there was no drug, just a mix of salt and water, but again it worked. Wright was the picture of health for another two months until he read an official report saying that Krebiozen was ___46___. He died two days later.This story has been ___47___ by doctors for a long time, dismissed as one of those strange tales that medicine cannot explain. The idea that a patient’s ___48____ can make a fatal disease go away has been thought of as too strange. But now scientists are discovering that the placebo effect is more powerful than anyone had ever thought. They are also beginning to discover how such miraculous results are ___49___. Through new techniques of brain imagery, it can be shown that a thought, a belief or a desire can cause chemical processes in the brain which can have powerfuleffects on the ___50___. Scientists are learning that some body reactions are not caused by information coming into the brain from the outside world, but by what the brain ___51___ to happen next.Placebos are “lies that ___52___,” said Dr Anne Harrington, a historian of science at Harvard University. “The word placebo is Latin for “I shall please” (or I shall make you happy) and it is typically a treatment that a doctor gives to ___53___ patients to please them,”she said. “It looks like medication, but has no healing ingredients whatsoever.” Nowadays, doctors have much more powerful medicines to fight disease.

Each passage is following 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.( A )A Lesson Goes ViralAt the end of 2014, Tulsa, Oklahoma, sixth-grade teacher Melissa Bour received a friend request on Facebook from one of her students. She didn’t accept the request, but a quick browse through the girl’s friends list revealed the names of dozens of kids from her classroom. Many of the students’ Facebook pages were completely public, meaning even strangers could search through the kids’ personal photos and mess ages.“I saw middle fingers, students dressed inappropriately, and extremely offensive language,” Melissa says. “It was disturbing.” When she brought up her discovery in class, the students thought is was nothing. So she created a post of her own.With a bright green Sharpie, she wrote on a piece of paper in all caps, “Dear Facebook: My 12-year-old students think it is ‘no big deal’ that they are posting pictures of themselves... Please help me... [show them] how quickly their images can get aro und.” She put a picture of the letter on her Facebook page and asked people to share it.In hours, it was shared 108,000 times across dozens of states and four countries. She deleted it after eight hours, but it continued to spread. “I wanted to show them that it’s on the Internet forever,” she says.As she explained the results of her experiment in class, the students’ “eyes got bigger and bigger,” she says. “It scared a few of them into deleting their pages completely,” she says. Others have removed inappropriate posts and used privacy settings to manage their pages.Her intention wasn’t to scare them off social media but to push them to be mindful of what they post. Melissa says, “I tell them, ‘just because everyone else is sharing doesn’t mean you have to.’”56.What did Melissa Bour find about her students’ Fackbook pages?A.They were not accessible to strangers.B.They contained improper messages.C.They appealed a lot to the public.D.They revealed nothing about the students.57.Why did Melissa put a picture of the letter on her Fackbook page?A.To prove the potential threat caused by sharing something online.B.To help students learn how to post something on Facebook.C.To turn to the public for tips on proper use of Fackbook.D.To scare her students off all social media.58.After Melissa told her students about the results of her experiment, they_______.A.ignored her warnings completelyB.began to share something meaningfulC.took no notice of what others postedD.realized the danger of social media59.What is the passage mainly about?A.How a teacher became popular with her unique post.B.How the students kept themselves away from social media.C.How a teacher raised students’ awareness of Internet security.D.How the students fought against their addiction to online games.( B )As much as we may want to protect children from all the terrible, horrible and very had things in life, too often we don’t get a choice.

UK researchers found moving to a green space had a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost.Co-author Mathew White, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. “There could be a number of reason,” he said, “for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they strive of promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with those thins is that with those things is that within six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are not sustainable; they don’t make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery winners who had won more than ￡500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back tothe baseline.”Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people’s sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Survey compiled by the University of Essex.Explaining what the data revealed, he said: “What you see is that even after three years, ment al health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make us happy.” He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and a positive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said, “There’s growing interest among public policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces.”63.According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?A.Improve their work efficiency.B.Add to their sustained happiness.C.Help them build a positive attitude towards life.D.Lessen their concerns about material well-being.64.What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?A.How it affects different people.B.How strong its positive effect is.C.How long its positive effect lasts.D.How it benefits people physically.65.What did Dr. White’s research reveal about people living in a green environment?A.Their stress was more apparent than real.B.Their decisions required less deliberation.C.Their memories were greatly strengthened.D.Their communication with others improved.66.According to Dr. White, what should the government do to build more green spaces in cities?A.Find financial support.B.Improve urban planning.C.Involve local residents in the effort.D.Raise public awareness of the issue.Section C (8’)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Pandas are one of the world’s most fascinating vegetarians. They have a meat eater’s digestive system, yet almost rely on bamboo -- all day, every day. ___67____To understand how pandas live on such a diet, researchers tracked pandas in the Qinling Mountains and observed what they ate for six years. The team also analyzed the panda diet in depth by measuring the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium -- the three most essential nutrients for mammals（哺乳动物）-- in the plant they are.“There is strong evidence that animals try their best to meet their nutritional needs,”a researcher said. “In areas with only one eatable plant, animals may try to eat different parts of the same food.”___68____ The two bamboo species in Qinling, wood bamboo and arrow bamboo, grow at different elevations and sprout（发芽）at different times of the year.In spring, pandas feed on young wood bamboo shoots, which are rich in nitrogen and phosphorous. ___69___ However, both species’ shoots have low calcium levels, pushing pandas to eat young arrow bamboo leaves which are rich in calcium in mid-July.However, bamboo leaves fall heavily in winter, and their nutrient levels drop. ___70___Records from Qinling show that among 25 cases of dead or ill pandas over the past 37 years, more than half occurred in March and April, right after the hardships of winter.Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10’)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Where Arts Should Get Its Funding?Few people would contest the value of arts in a civilized society. Great art enriches people’s lives by providing pleasure, stimulation and an escape from the pressure of everyday life. However, it is also true that many of the arts, such as classical music, the ballet, and the visual arts have always attracted a minority audience. The question is whether the arts should be publicly funded, or whether it is the consumers who should pay.It is my view that the government should subsidize the arts, for a number of reasons. First of all, without subsidies, many artists would undoubtedly be unable to survive financially. Government grants can enable them to work with artistic freedom, while if they worked independently or relied on private subsidies they might be subject to market pressures and the need to make a profit. Secondly, the arts contribute to a nation’s cultural heritage and can create a sense of social identity. They can also play an important role in education, community regeneration and even crime prevention. However, the main argument for public funding of the arts is not social usefulness, but rather because they are important for their own sake.Of course, there are those who argue that public money would be better spent on meeting the needs of the poorer members of society, rather than catering for the interests of an elite. However, I believe that a healthy society is one in which art and creativity are valued alongside these basic needs. Indeed, a civilized society ought to make the arts accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or income.In conclusion, the arts should be funded across a broad range of activities, for example, by supporting community or school theatre projects, or bringling sculptures and art installations to public places.Ⅴ.

上海交通附属中学 2018-2019 学年度第二学期高二英语摸底考试试卷II. Grammar and VocabularySection A(A)There is a tendency to think of each of the arts as ___1___ separate area of activity. Many artists, however, would prove ___2___ there has always been a warm relationship between the a warm relationship areas of human activity. For example, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were especially close. Artists ___3___ (invite) to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, ___4___ sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of contemporary painters. Of the musical compositions as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky composed the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartman. ___5___ their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmann’s unexpected death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, ___6___ decided to told a n exhibition of Hartmann’s work, suggested that Mussorgsky ___7___ (try) to relieve his grief by writing something in memory of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgsky’s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition ___8___ (intend) as symbols rather than representation of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade (舞曲中的行进), as the composer walks from one painting to ___9___ The music is sometimes witty and playful, sometimes almost alarming and frightening. Thought a range of surprising contrasts, Mussorgsky manages ____10____ (convey) the spirit of the artist and his work.(B)Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them ___11___ they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine ？___12___ (stare) at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-health scores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe’s ___13___ (low) home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the miserydistribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe （at more than 80%）. But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots ___14___ (throw) up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. ___15___ Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we come to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage（房贷）lending and an unavoidable house-price crash--- ___16___ sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmes about how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When ___17___ some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes. That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person’s lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary ___18___ (pay) off an entire house？Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We ___19___ rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30split that is now observed in so many Western nations, ______20______ (make) sense.Section BRapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are ___21___ in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being ___22___.This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more ___23___ to graduates in the long term.Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most ___24___ with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership ___25___ and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.So why are soft skills so highly ___26___ for?With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students ___27___ to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their ___28___ career.Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater ---___29___ on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider ___30___ in their chosen field. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASaddleworth Moor in the north of England is a bare place. It seemed almost wired to me, then, that anyone should ___31___ the building of seven wind turbines( 风力发电机) to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them--- basically dull, unattractive to tourists and ----- ___32___ ---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another battleground in an increasingly confusing ___33___ over wind farming and the future of the planet.Typical of this confusion is hearing Professor David Bellamy ___34___ the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist had made the ___35___ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, on reflection, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist, whose main aim is to preserve natural habitats of plants and animals from destruction, rather than a(n) ___36___ on climate change. He has fought against other renewable energies that ___37___ wildlife and wildness, and has described the wind turbines as weapons of mass destruction killing birds and bats.Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued the wind farms are in fact ___38___, and are only commercially successfully because they are so heavily funded. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently , who have then gone to ___39___ nuclear power. This doesn’t take into account years of ___40___ from Greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and dangerous. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ___41___ by a leading green scientist , Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the firstto draw attention to the problem of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.And so it goes on. There are so many ___42___ claims, each apparently fronted by some outstanding scientists and backed up by a lot of statics. So who’s actually right? What’s the right solution? What ___43___ me is that we will take so long in deciding that it will be too late. The damage will have been done. Yet what I also ___44___ is how convenient these conflicting arguments are. We can avoid making any changes to our personal lifestyles by just doing nothing. Global warming isn’t down to me going to Barcelona by air for the weekend or having a dishwasher or driving everywhere; no, it’s because those people in Saddleworth won’t let us build our ___45___!31. A. take over B. call for C. look into D. object to32. A. vice versa B. or rather C. above all D. to date33. A. debate B. concern C. advantage D. control34.

A. wind farms B. power plants C. animal habitats D. nuclear engines SectionBAEvery April I am troubled by the same concern -- that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks dull, with hills, sky and forest appearing gray. My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. "Just wait," a neighbor advised. "You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here."And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches str etch out in unpruned（未经修剪的）abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple.Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. "You’re not cutting it down, are you?" she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don’t kill it, now," he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of b oth acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn’t help recalling Robert Frost’s words:The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store.

All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt.TUESDAY AND THURSDAY6.00—8.00 p.m.WEA VER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health andself-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are impro ved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt.50. The passage is mainly intended to_________.A. tell readers the benefits of KarateB. attract readers to join the clubC. encourage people to get their black beltD. correct people’s misunderstand of Karate51.

It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others.B. It invo lves people’s arm muscles more than body musclesC. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally.D. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.CSpeaking in ClicksClick sounds, such as those found in some languages in Africa, make perfectly good consonants. So why do they appear so rarely in most human speech? One culprit may be anatomy(骨骼).Previous studies have suggested that in some speakers of click languages, the alveolar ridge(齿龈) the rounded bump between the upper teeth and the roof of the mouth-is small or even absent. In recent research, Scott Moisik of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and Dan Dediu of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, built biomechanical models that simulated clicks in vocal tracts(声道) with alveolar ridges of varying sizes. Their results, published in January in the Journal of Language Evolution, showed a clear disadvantage for tracts with large edges. These allowed less air to be trapped in the mouth, requiring more muscular force to produce a click.The authors interpret this finding as support for an anatomical bias against clicks. They believe the bias is probably weak at the individual level; people with large alveolar ridges can still learn click consonants or that their pronunciations may be wrong. Amplified over generations, this bias might explain why such consonants are so rarely found in language worldwide.These results are not the first to challenge the traditional premise among linguists that language evolution is largely immune to external factors. Several other researchers have recently argued that geographical context, environmental conditions and genetics could all play a role. But Moisik and Dediu’s work goes a step further by singling out a single feature of human anatomy and quantifying its contribution to a particular type of speech sound.Susanne Fuchs, senior researcher at the Leibniz Center of General Linguistics in Berlin, who was not involved in the work, says the study’s conclusions are valid. But she cautions that they may present a chicken-and-egg problem: “The palate( 味蕾) shape of an individual matures from early childhood to puberty and , may be affectedby frequent productions of clicks,” Fuchs says, “Therefore, over the course of h istory, it may well be that vocal tract properties and click productions developed in parallel.53. The underlined word “one culprit” in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. something that must cause sufferingB. something that may be the causeC. something that could be concludedD. something that never happened before.54. According to the findings by Moisik and Dediu, who can make click sounds easily?A.People with a small or absent alveolar ridge.B. People with strong muscles inside the mouthC. People with a normal alveolar rid.D. People with a large alveolar ridge. 55. Which of the following statements is true? A. People with large alveolar ridges cannot learn click language. B. Having less air trapped in the mouth makes it easier to produce a click. C. Both Moisik and Dediu believe that language evolution is largely independent of external factors. D. Language evolution may be subject to geographical context, environmental conditions and genetics.56. What is Susanne Fuchs most likely to agree with?A. The conclusions of the study by Moisik and Dediu are unreliable.B. V ocal tract properties and click productions might evolve at the same time.C. Frequent productions of clicks decide the palate shape of an individual.D. The palate shape of an individual decides whether one can produce click sounds.DVisit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you had not planned to buy. But hunger is not the only culprit behind such purchases. The location of store displays also influences our shopping and may make or break some healthy eating habits.The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks-and a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can shift customer behavior. A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves for example, In2014 Norwegain and Icelandic researcher likewise found that replacing unhealthy items with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minutes sales of healthier foods.These findings caught the attention of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to stock and promote consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department. “Making healthy food more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s dense urban checkout areas, so they recruited three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. They gave one checkout line in each store a healthy makeover, replacing candy, cookies and other processed snacks with fruit , nuts and similar items containing 200 or fewer calories per serving. Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 precent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious items more than twice as often as those in the standard lines –and they bought unhealthy items 40 percent less often. The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.The potential impact may seem small, but Adjoian believes that converting more checkout lines would open customers’ e yes to nutritious, lower-calories foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout areas throughout New York City.57. The word “ culprit” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to _____in the passage.A. something to blameB. something related to cultureC. something that resultsD. something concealed58. The findings of the 2012 study and the 2014 study proved that _____.A. shops put great emphasis on increase in last-minute sales of food.B. healthier options were rarely seen in company canteens or in supermarket.C. customers’ shopping behavior could be changed by what is easily available.D. sugary and salty snacks were among the most common items in checkout areas.59. Why does the writer say “ the potential impact may seem small” in the last paragraph?A. Only a little attention has been drawn to Adjoian’s researchB. Only several healthy items are displayed and then purchased.C Only three Bronx supermarkets have been involved in the study.D. Only a small proportion of shoppers buy things from checkout areas.60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Behavior that MattersB. Healthy See, Healthy DoC. Changing Checkout AreasD.

2018-2019学年建平中学高三英语周二练习（2018.10.9）I. Listening Comprehension (略)II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20分)Section 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.Internet companies often receive requests by law enforcement for customer information to help with ongoing investigation. Rarely, however, (21) a court order hit up a Web hosting company for upwards of 1.3 million IP addresses to find out who's been visiting a particular Web site.That's exactly what happened recently when the U.S. Justice Department tried to get the company Dream Host to turn over contact information, e-mails, photos and data related to a Web site called DisruptJ20. DisruptJ20 (22) (involve) in organizing protests against the Trump administration.Dream Host bristled at the court order and filed (23) appeal. Company special counsel Chris Ghazarian told me that Dream Host rarely gets requests to turn over that much client information. IP addresses, in particular, can identify (24) computers visited a site, when they visited, what they viewed and (25) how long. IP address can also be used to reveal a Web user’s identity.The Justice Department later revised its request, saying it was not going to force Dream Host to turn over text and photos from blog posts written but never (26) (post) to DisruptJ20.A Washington, D.C., Superior Court then (27) (far) amended the government’s request. The judge asked the Justice Department to list the names of all government investigators who will have access to Dream Host's data and to explain how it will search through the data to gather evidence against Trump dissenters. Justice (28) (bar) from sharing the information with other government agencies.We’ll see whether the government ends up prosecuting(起诉) anyone (29) (use) Dream Host's data. If that happens it could drive digital civil disobedience to encrypted (加密) mobile apps or possibly the Dark web, a largely uncharted online realm (30) it's easier to remain anonymous.That would raise disturbing questions about the state of citizens’ First Amendment11 rights in the U.S these days.21.【答案】does/has/will【解析】rarely作为半否定词放在句首，句子要部分倒装，本空缺一个助动词，根据时态判断出答案可为does/has/will。
