But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion,a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family.

We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets. If they are not taken good care of, they will become very dirty and easily get ill. So pets are helpful to us but keeping pets is not an easy job.51.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But __66__ some claims to the contrary, laughing probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress. Anyway, the act of laughing probably does produce other types of __73__ feedback that improve an individual's emotional state. __74__ one classical theory of emotion. our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was13argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they become sad when the tears begin to __75__.Although sadness also happens before tears. evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular responses. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of Wurzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to __76__ a pen either with their teeth --- thereby creating an artificial smile --- or with their lips, which would produce a __77__ expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles __78__ more exuberantly to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, __79__ that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. __80__, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.66.A. among B. except C. despite D. like67.A. reflect B. demand C. indicate D. produce68.A. release B. maintain C. evaluate D. observe69.A. measurable B. manageable C. affordable D. renewable70.A.

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.15AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to se ll yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”16In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staff17B) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. T o get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplace18B) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very l ittle to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.19For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s th e kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has20the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.21D)They are ill-bred.88. How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.90. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.22B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.上海交通大学附属中学2019届高一分班考(英语)(答案)II.Grammar and Vocabulary1—10 BDCBA BBCAD11—20 CBAAB BDACC21—30 BADDA CBBCD31—40 AAACB ABCBC41—50 DABBC CDCDC51—55 BDABCII. 56—6523ABC BD D AD BC C E A AB BIII 66--80CDBAB ADABC DADACIV. 每题两分81—85 CABDB86—90 CDCBA24。

And, ___49___, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in ___50___, the researchers say. People ___51___ to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave ___52___. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more ___53___ or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin, US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students regarding their experience of physical and ___54___ bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, ___55___ by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain ___56___, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and ___57___ to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence, with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social ____58___, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman. “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”What are the things that first come to your mind when you think of the UK? Are they nonstop rain, polite manners, boring food and tea drinking?Some of the UK’s ___59___ stereotypes are true, a new survey has found. For example, British people do have a(n) ___60___ to drink lots of tea.The research polled 1,402 foreigners living in the UK on their opinions about the British way of life. Unsurprisingly, the majority of them, almost 70 percent, said they enjoyed living in the country—good manners, especially UK people’s extraordinary ability to queue, are the main reasons for foreigners’ ___61___. More than one-third said they liked British people’s restrained ___62___ to emotion.However, there are aspects of British culture that are ___63___ upon. The heavy alcohol drinking culture ___64___ as the least favorite characteristic, followed by the British sense of humor and the country’s bad weather. It may not be too hard to understand why heavy drinking and bad weather are ___65___, but what’s wrong with the British sense of humor?British humor is known for being dry and satirical(讽刺的),so it is generally more ___66___. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more ___67___ than a socially inappropriate joke, noted the BBC.“Britons are more comfortable with life’s loser,”write English actor Ricky Gervais in an article published inTime magazine.“The majority of nationalities have stcrotypes fitted around them and Britons don’t escape this,”said Liam Clifford, the founder of Global Visas, the website that conducted the research.“People’s probably come here with a stereotype-based preconception of what to expect. It’s good to see from our survey, though, that, in the majority of cases,this reputation is actually ___68___ upon living here.”Ⅰ.

Previous research finds that homework effort is consistently ___69___ with student achievement. ___70___ conscientiousness appears to be the most important personality for predicting homework effort. With this connection in mind, ___71___ of homework have argued that the effort that students put in their homework may have positive effects by influencing conscientiousness. In their study, the Tübingen scientists investigated whether this ___72___ holds true.They analyzed 2,760 students from two different schools in the German states. Students were evaluated right after their ___73___ from primary to secondary school in Grade 5. For the next three years, students were evaluated ___74___ between six and eight weeks after the start of each school year. They answered questions such as how many of their last 10 homework assignments to mathematics. Also, they were asked how conscientious they thought they were, including whether they would describe themselves as tidy or as ___75___ ___76___ students’ self-reports, parents were asked to ___77___ their children’s conscientiousness as well.Results show that those students who put a lot of effort in their homework between Grade 5 and 8 also ___78___ in terms of their conscientiousness. Previous research has shown that conscientiousness tends to undergo a temporary ___79___ in late childhood and early adolescence. As the results found by the Tubingen scientists suggest, doing your homework thoroughly appeared to balance it."Our results show that homework is not only relevant for school performance, but also benefits personality development—if students put a lot of effort into their assignments," says Richard Göllner, first author of the study. "The question whether doing your homework can also influence the conscientiousness development has been mostly ___80___ in previous discussions of the role of homework," criticizes Ulrich Trautwein, director of the Hector Research Institute. "We need to ___81___ more precisely what expectations we have ___82___ homework and how those expectations can be ___83___."69. A. connected B. concerned C. associated D.dealt70. A. Therefore B.

Choose the answer that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as a factor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more we are together—the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that.Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy. The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep.The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the few mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities to the comic press. This kind of thing: "A man was seen yesterday buying a third-class ticket for the new London and Birmingham Railway. The state of his mind is being enquired into".A writer in the early days of railways wrote feelingly of both second-and third-class carriages. He made the suggestion that the directors of the railways must have sent all over the world to find the hardest possible wood. Of the open third-class trucks he said that they had the peculiar property of meeting the rain from whatever quarter it came. He described them as horizontal shower-baths, from whose searching power there was no escape.84. According to those who welcomed the railway, the railway itself should include all the following expect ____.A. the railway enables people travel fastB. the railway brings comfort to peopleC. the railway makes the world peacefulD. the railway leads the world to war as well85.

Tai Tam Harbour is not far from to Tei Wan and the Ngan Hang Village(C)Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes: emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. “The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both these examples point up the fact that attitudes come from experience. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were influenced largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose words are highly regarded by them.Another reason it is true is that pupils often devote their time to a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who has previously acquire little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop whole greatly attitudes are innumerable. Social studies(with special reference to races, beliefs and nationalities),science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the induction of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise to attempt to change their feelings by criticizing them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experience.To illustrate, first-grade pupils, afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer as which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be negative if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions of which children shouldbe encouraged to reach their own decisions as result of objective analysis of all the facts.91. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text?A. A statement is made and two examples are given to illustrate it.B. A controversy is stared and two opposite points of view are presented.C. A widely accepted definition is presented and two men are described.D. An idea is stated and two results of recent research are summarized.92. The central idea conveyed in the above text is that ___.A. attitudes affect our actionsB. teachers play a significant role in developing or reshaping pupils’ attitudesC. attitudes can be modified by some classroom experiencesD. by their attitudes, teachers don’t affect pupils’ attitudes deliberately.93. In Paragraph 6 the author implies that ___.A. the teacher should guide all discussions by revealing her own attitudeB. in some aspects of social studies a greater variety of methods can be used in the upper grades than in the lowergradesC. people usually act on the basic of reasoning rather than on emotionD. children’s attitudes often come from those of other children94. The text specially states that ______.A. direct experiences are more valuable than indirect onesB. whatever attitudes a child learns in school have already been introduced at homeC. teachers can sometimes have an undesirable influence on childrenD. teachers should always conceal their own attitudes第Ⅰ 卷Ⅰ.
