While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face． Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one． This phenomenon is commonly known as "Empty Nest Syndrome"．In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will returnhome． Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them． The fact that mostof these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries． Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do． This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown﹣up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves．The situation in which grown﹣up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as "distant parent phenomenon", which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries． Our society has not yet been well prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"．（1）According to the passage， the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by________．A their earlier experience of feeling lonely B the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries C the common worry about their income D the geographical distance between parents and children．（2）Many young people have gone abroad， leaving their aged parents behind， to________．A live in the countries with more money B seek a better place for their agedparents C continue their studies abroad D realize their dreams in foreign countries．（3）If young people go abroad，________．A they do not hold to the value of duty at allB they can give some help to their parents back homeC they cannot do what they should for their parentsD they believe what they actually do is right．（4）From the last paragraph， we can infer that________．A the situations in the developed and developing countries are differentB "Empty Nest Syndrome" has arrived unexpectedly in our societyC children will become independent as soon as they go abroadD the aged parents are not fully prepared for "Empty Nest Syndrome"．Section CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.7. A． It can also be caused by the inappropriate use of fluoride drops or other fluoride supplements．B． It's evident that fluoride has negative effects on teeth， especially children's teeth．C． So you are right ﹣ fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities．D． If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken， immediate first﹣aid could save a life．E． That is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush．F． Fluoride toothpastes are advertised too extensively in TV commercials．I have heard that fluoride（氟化物）can help stop dental decay， but I recently read that it is poisonous． Which of these is true？ How can children use fluoride safely？This question is answered thanks to Dr Marcia M． Rich who practices general dentistry in Newholt． She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares．My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions． Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste．（1）________ If this simple measure is taken， parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay， and come to no harm．Almost all medicines can have a negative effect ﹣ or even be deadly ﹣ if they are not taken as directed．（2）________ It is for this reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from a doctor or dentist．Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis（氟中毒）． The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children．（3）________For example， when fluoride is already present in drinking water， the overconsumption of it can seldom be avoided． But don't be too worried，since fluoride overdoses are rare． In fact， I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to the fluoride poisoning．Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities（龋齿）as long as it is used correctly． But it is also true that if fluoride is abused， there is a risk of illness or even death in extreme cases．（4）________ A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting． If not， the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment．第II卷（共55分）I.

Each word can only be used once. Note thatAs the way in which we communicate continues to change, so does the way in which we learn. The traditional classroom still is a popular vehicle for helping higher learning. Growing in attention is the ability to access institutions of higher education by other 41 .Distance learning can be defined in several ways. It can be classes taken 42 the Internet, Web TV, cable TV, correspondence course, audio conferencing, CD-ROM, videotape or any other mechanism that allows a student to learn without traveling to a traditional classroom. The increase of these types of programs allows many people who might not 43 be able to participate to obtain college degrees. People in rural areas, people who are home-bound, or people whose schedules just don’t allow them the freedom to attend scheduled classes can all 44 these programs.Just to make it clear, there are not “get-you-diploma-if-you-send-us-$29.95” 45 . In this feature we are addressing only those programs that are approved and provide the opportunities for people to obtain college and 46 degrees in a non-traditional manner. People are, however, required to work for their degrees. There are books, lessons, assignments, papers to write, homework, and exams. There is interaction with teachers on a regular basis, and there is usually interaction with other students on a project or work group basis.Corporate America has found that distance learning is a more efficient and cost effective way to 47 training to employees. According to the United States Distance Learning Association, “Faced with retraining 50 million American workers, Corporate America is using distance learning, both internally and externally, for all 48 of training. Many 49 corporations save millions of dollars each year using distance learning to train employees more effectively and more efficiently than with conventional methods.”III.

By setting goals you are 52 your life. It’s like having a 53 to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are 54 drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any 55 time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goals or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place asthe first driver, 56 she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just 57 gas. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making 58 and setting goals. 59 people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must 60 what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more 61 to achieve it. Written goals can be 62 regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also 63 you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously 64 situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.50.A. Because of B. Instead of C. In spite of D.

Reading Comprehension (1’ * 22 = 22’)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that first best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wearing shabby clothes and stretching out a dirty hand towards people, this is the traditional image of beggars. But nowadays that image has changed in many ways. Beggars can even look exactly like a white-collar worker.With the development of the Internet, beggars also benefit from new technology. Without standing on the street all day long, they can just sit at home and click the keyboard -- "beggar websites" make the begging business much easier.Just by googling the words beggar and website, dozens of such Chinese forums are found. "Please donate 1 yuan; it will help me be rich!" -- that's a common slogan from many of these begging websites.The layout of these sites is quite similar. There are some funny or tragic pictures across the top of the screen, then a request for donations is classified into three levels. 1 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan. Just by clicking on these buttons, one can make a kindly donation. People can pay through an online paying system or send money to a bankcard number.These websites also provide lists of those who have donated, but almost all of them have mostly donated 1 yuan per person, and online stores or other small websites can have a place on the site for a small advertisement after the donation.Actually, such begging websites are not original in China. Online begging first appeared in the United States. Some individuals opened such websites to relieve their economic embarrassment.In 2002, a woman in New York owed about $20,000 to the bank, so she set up a begging website and, what a surprise, she received over $13,000 from netizens which solved her problems more or less.In some "professional" begging websites in the United States, the website organizer can even receive many thousands of dollars. However, the income from most of the web sites found in China seems not so good.65. The passage is mainly about __.A. the difference between traditional and modern beggarsB. the begging websiteC. considerable donations onlineD. how to make money online66. What can we conclude from the passage?A. We can make a good living by begging online.B. Western begging websites always make more money than those in China.C. Begging websites can advertise for donators.D. Online begging came into being in China first.67. By what means can people donate money to the online websites?A. People can pay in cash.B. People can pay through online paying systems.C. People can pay by check.D. All the above means.68. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some begging websites use the donations to help poor people.B. Some begging websites solve their financial problems by receiving donations.C. The improvement of the Internet technology helps beggars make money more easily.D. We can find Chinese begging websites by googling some key words.(B)CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers’ things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Consumer service refers to service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets.69.About how many complaints about Credit were received by the CBC in 2003?A. 28B. 29C.30D. 3170.By about what percent did the total number of complaints decrease from 2003 to 2004?A. 40%B. 60%C. 75%D. 100%71.If the circle graphs below show total consumer for 2003, which graph shows a dark part that is about Flight problemsand Refund problems together?A.

Now Copenhagen, the country’s capital, has become the center of the world political map, with 190 world leaders attending the climate talks there, not to mention thousands of reporters.Just how much do you know about the Scandinavian country?Denmark is famous for its design culture. At the heart of “Danish Design” is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, and that is to do all things with artlessness（朴实）.Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and equality. From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality. “Remove material where it’s not needed. Keep things simple and functional and execute（制作）them carefully,” explained Hans J. Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame: “The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair.”“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, packing a punch（用力出击）way above their country’s size and population in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian.The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there. Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world.Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany’s biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don’t have to make a great living to survive.”74.Why has Copenhagen been the focus of attention of all countries again?75.What characteristics（特征）do Danish products have?76.Which sentence in the article is the closest in meaning to the following one?The simple style of Danish design has had an effect on Danish life.77.Why does Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American, choose to live in Denmark rather than the US?(D)Is It Real Property?In real life, if someone steals your cell phone or another belonging, you can report it to the police. but what if yourvirtual property –such as weapons in a cyber game or QQ show –are stolen? Who should bear the responsibility?Several netizens went to the Tencent company on November 30, accusing it of failing to protect their accounts. They had had their QQ Show avatars clothes and other items stolen. One person lost 1,800 virtual items, worth 60,000 yuan, reported Southern Metropolis Daily. But Tencent said netizens needed to turn to their local cyber police department for help.However, Guo Qing, lawyer of Beijing’s Yingke Law Firm, said: “If the companies involved can’t prove they’ve done enough to protect the virtual property, they should bear responsibility.”In recent years, there has been much talk about virtual property.Players get virtual property from Web games. By engaging in various activities, they get in-game items and virtual money, which be bought and sold within the game.Today, virtual property is a billion dollar world industry. Web games like Secondlife, Entropia and World of Warcraft have their own currencies, which can be bought with hard cash. And players can make money by trading in virtual houses or setting up clothing stores.But today the protection of virtual property still remains a new concept in China, with the law having little to say about the problem. Local police often think virtual property has no real value.But it does have value, some experts say, because players spend time, energy, money, labor and intelligence getting in-game goods. For this reason, they argue that Copyright Law should protect virtual property.Other Chinese experts say Internet thieves should be punished according to the Criminal Law. Wang Xiaoquan, a young netizens in Shenyang, was sentenced to three years in prison by the local court for theft of 100,000 yuan worth of virtual property in May.The protection of virtual property in law has become a trend.In Taiwan, virtual property is regarded as “movable property” in crimes of fraud and theft, and considered as part of one’s private property. Stealing other people’s virtual property is considered a crime and carries a sentence of up to three years in prison.78.When you lose your virtual property, you should .A.accuse the Tencent companyB.report it to the policeC.turn to a lawyer for legal adviceD.write complaint letters to the newspaper79.Why does the protection of virtual property still remain a new concept in China?A.Because the Copyright Law doesn’t protect virtual property.B.Because people often think virtual property has no real value.C.Because it has a lot to do with the Criminal Law.D.Because virtual property has become a trend.80.What does the underlined word “currencies” in the 6th paragraph mean?A. propertyB. charactersC. lawsD. money81.What can we conclude from the passage?A. The protection of virtual property is still a controversial issue.B. People can buy any virtual property with hard cash.C. Taiwan is the first to pass a law to punish the virtual thieves.D. Wang Xiaoquan was sentenced to three years in prison for theft of 100,000 yuan.82.Those students you see “studying” in the cafeteria or game room aren’t learning much. You just can’t learn when you’re distracted by people and noise. Even the library can be a bad place to study if you constantly find yourself watching the clouds outside or the students walking through the stacks. It takes courage to sit alone in a quiet place to study. But you have to do it. Find a room at home or a spot in the library that’s relatively quiet—and boring. When you sitthere, you won’t have much to do except study.83.When you sit down, do it with the attitude that you’re going to get this studying done. You’re not going to doodle in your notebook or make a list for the supermarket. Decide that you are going to study and learn now, so that you can move on to more interesting things as soon as possible.84.If you sweat out a block of study time, and do a good job on it, treat yourself. You deserve it. You can “psych”yourself up for studying by promising to reward yourself afterward. A present for yourself can be anything from a favorite TV show to a relaxing bath to a dish of double chocolate ice cream.85.Lots of students sit down with an assignment like “Read chapter five, pages 125-150” and do just that. They turn to page 125 and start to read. After a while, they find they have no idea what they just read. For the last ten minutes, they’ve been thinking about their five-year-old or what they’re going to eat for dinner. Eventually they browse through all the pages but don’t remember much afterward.In order to prevent this problem, skim the textbook chapter first. This means: look at the title, the subtitles, the headings, the pictures, the first and last paragraphs. Try to find out what the person who wrote the book had in mind when he or she organized the chapter. What was the important enough to set off as a title or in bold type? After skimming, you should be able to explain to yourself what the main points of the chapter are. Unless you’re the kind of person who would step into an empty elevator shaft（电梯井）without looking first, you’ll soon discover the value of skimming.86.This sounds like troublesome, but it works. Go back over the material after you’ve read it, and write down key words and phrases in the margins. When you review the chapter for a test, you’ve have handy little things like “definition of rationalization” or “example of assimilation” in the margins. If the material is especially tough, organize a separate sheet of notes. Write down definitions, examples, lists, and main ideas. The idea is to have single sheet that boils the entire chapter down to a digestible lump.第Ⅱ卷V.

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.APeople do many things to celebrate the coming of a New Year, an important one being making New Year Resolutions.Did you know that 45% of Americans make resolutions?But not many of 45 actually manage to keep them. Wondering how many of them actually follow through with it by the end of January each year? Actually, just a meager 8%!Resolutions 46 be very hard to keep for many reasons. Some people find it hard to stay on track. Others make their goals too broad or challenging. Remember resolutions 47 (mean) to be small goals that will become habits over time that will help your life positively, not big life-changing plans.According to , some of the top resolutions made by folks are:*Lose weight *Volunteer to help others *Quit smoking *Get a better education * Get a better job *Save money *Get fit *Eat healthy food *Manage stress *Manage debt *Take a trip *Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Did you notice that resolutions are always 48 making positive changes? We humans recognize that health is the 49 (big) wealth for us all. The resolves to be healthy, eat well and exercise are naturally among the most popular. Yet they are some of the hardest goals to keep.That‟s why you should keep your goals realistic. Cut back on soda 50 50 eliminate it completely. Make notebook entries of what you are aiming for, and track your progress. Write yourself reminders such as : Read for half an hour”, “No more than 125 minutes on social media!”, “don‟t eat too much salt, sugar and fat”, as examples. Take small steps to reach your final goal.Can you challenge yourself to be part of the 45% who make resolutions and grow the number of those who make it stick from 8%? 51 51 you are not the type who makes New Year resolutions, try to practice one healthy eating habit this year. You will be doing 52 a favor, for it is your body after all.BWhy Can’t You Tickle YourselfHave you ever thought about why people are ticklish(怕痒的)?According to scientists, ticklishness is a defense mechanism humans develop against bugs, spiders, and other critters that may be touching our skin. Feeling ticklish is our built-in response to predators or threats, and combines the sensations of touch and pain.The part of the brain that is associated with tickling is the cerebellum(小脑). It monitors our movements,53 ignores movements not perceived as a threat. For example, we do not notice our vocal chords(声带)54 (move) when we speak, but we may jump if someone touches us on 55 shoulder. This selective perception is probably the reason why we cannot tickle ourselves.We only feel ticklish if we detect a sense of invasion or attack. If we try to tickle ourselves, our brains anticipate this “attack” and prevent us from feeling panicked. Strangely enough, eve n if a person knows that they are about 56 (tickle), the fear of being touched may cause the same “ticklish” reaction. Some people laugh even before being tickled.A scientific study was recently done in England to determine whether or not people can tickle themselves. V olunteers 57 (attach) to a brain-scanning device and were tickled on their palms with a piece of soft foam(泡沫). The participants‟ brain scans were monitored while they were being tickled, and when they tickled themselves. It was found that during self-tickling, the cerebellum alerted another area of the brain about 58 to expect, so the ticklish feeling was diminished.Researchers did find a way, however, for people to tickle themselves. When volunteers activated a robot by remote control to tickle them after a short delay, the volunteers felt 5959 someone else were tickling them. It seems that the cerebellum sends a signal to disregard the forthcoming movement, then moves on to other things. Your brain “forgets” that you are tickling yourself---even with a delay as short as 60 fifth of a second. So it is possible to tickle yourself--- but only by remote control. What will science discover next?Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Every morning, 21-year-old A.J. Hunter downloads his schedule onto his always-at-hand Macintosh laptop. Hunter is a 61 technical college student. He downloads music to his iPod and 62 social networking sites from his cell phone. He uses e-mail and instant messaging anywhere on the wireless campus.Hunter is a (n) “63 native”--- a term that has been used to describe the first generation who grew up in a world filled with computers, cell phones and cable TV.These young people think, act and react much differently from how their parents and grandparents did, often because their childhoods were in large part 64 by technology, say researchers.“This is so core to their social experience--- to their identities – to what it 65 to be a young person and a student in the new century,” says educational technology expert Richard Katz.But just because young people are 66 with technology, that doesn‟t mean it‟s always beneficial. Some experts worry that technology is 67 over the lives of today‟s youth. When his desktop computer crashed during the first week of classes, “I thought I was going to go mad,”says senior Nick Caine. “I was running to the library every two seconds. I didn‟t even go home because I knew I wouldn‟t have a computer.”There are other negative sides of too much 68 time. A recent study found that nearly 20 percent of students admit that time spent on the Internet and playing computer games resulted in low grades or dropping a class.Technology author Michael Bugeja questions the recent extreme 69 toward technology: “Not only are the students addicted --- the institutions of learning are addicted,” he says. “No one is studying its impact, and we are still 70 as if more access to technology is going to improve learning.”III. Reading Comprehension （15+22+8%）Section 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.When I became an amputee at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptable attractive woman to an object of pity and 71 .Too busy 72 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to 73 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.74 , as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall---a 75 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 76 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 77 my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 78 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with 79 in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 80 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, and she innocently asked, “Lady, where did you legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn‟t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 81 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to …leg Heaven?‟”That incident made me think about how 82 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 83 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 84 of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 85 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn‟t mean having a poor quality of life.71. A. comfort B. fear C. hatred D. sadness72.

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.（A）The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I‟d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won‟t put yourself in my place. Can‟t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I‟d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn‟t he as busy as the others?In the dentist‟s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don‟t worry.The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!86.Which of the following best describes the author‟s feeling that morning?A. Embarrassed.B. Nervous.C. Dunb.D. Upset.87.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentist‟s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B. The dentist‟s being as busy as the other dentists.C.

IQ Fun Zone helps children below 7 to cultivate their team spirit( C )Stonehenge（巨石阵）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England”because of the existence of “bluestones”---the smaller columns of dolerite（辉绿岩）that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pieces of remains to around 7330 BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Antiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000 BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We‟re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why---all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”The research reveals the importance of the henge‟s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects---the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300 BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”---a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.93.Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people_________________________ .A. to recover from poor healthB. to observe star movementsC. to hold religious ceremoniesD. to gather huge bluestones94.What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?A. The springs could cure coughs and heart disease best.B. The new discovery was the same as what had been expected.C. Some huge bluestones were not produced at Stonehenge.D. The original bluestone circle was thought to be constructed around 2000 BC.95.The sick traveler in the passage is supposed to be_______________________________.A. a devoted religious person from StonehengeB. one of the earliest discoverers of StonehengeC. the first explorer to test the magical power of bluestonesD. a patient trying to cure his infection at Stonehenge96.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Stonehenge: A New Place of InterestB. Stonehenge: Still Making NewsC. Stonehenge: Heaven for AdventurersD. Stonehenge: Still Curing PatientsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Being a social butterfly just might change your brain: In people with a large network of friends and excellent social skills, certain brain regions are bigger and better connected than in people with fewer friends, a new study finds.The research suggests a connection between social interactions and brain structure. “We're interested in how your brain is able to allow you to find the right way in complex social environments,”MaryAnn Noonan said, a neuroscientist (神经学家) at Oxford University. Studies in monkeys have shown that brain areas involved in face processing and in predicting the intentions of others are larger in animals living in large social groups than in ones living in smaller groups.To investigate these brain differences in humans, Noonan and her colleagues found 18 participants for a structural brain-imaging study. They asked people how many social interactions they had experienced in the past month, in order to determine the size of their social networks. As was the case in monkeys, some brain areas were enlarged and better connected in people with larger social networks. “These different brain regions are all singing different songs,” Noonan said. “Networked areas are all singing the same song, and when they're connected better, they're singin g more harmoniously with each other.”The researchers also tested whether the size of a person's social network was linked with changes in white-matter pathways, the nerve fibers(纤维) that connect different brain regions. Again, they found that white-matter pathways were better connected in people with bigger social networks. "The nerves were more like a Los Angeles freeway than a country road," Noonan said.The researchers couldn't say whether social interaction caused these changes in brain structure and connectivity, or whether the brain determined how social someone was. In the case of the monkeys, the researchers asked and wrote down the size of the animals' social network, so they concluded that social-group size was causing the brain differences. It can be inferred that a similar process takes place in human brains, but to prove this, long-term studies are needed, Noonan told Live Science.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)97.The certain brain regions in people with fewer friends are ______.98.According to Noonan, the certain brain areas whose functions are to _________ are larger inmore-sociable monkeys.99.

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.

Eventually B. Consequently C. Similarly D. Conversely Section BDirections:Read the following 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.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。

Jean wasn’t impressed by one of the koi on sale either.“Actually,these koi aren’t any nicer than(6)_______,”She commented.“(7)_______they are slightly bigger than the ones I’ve got,I paid considerable less than this.”I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Jean,but I did consider(8)________(buy)one.Then I remember that all but5of Freddie Mercury’s koi died when someone accidentally turned off the electricity supply to their pool.Jean assured me that with all the new equipment available the survival rate was getting better and better,and that looking(9)______koi was no harder than taking care of any other pet.However,in the end of I decided to stick with my goldfish.They’re not nearly as beautiful as koi—but they’re a great deal cheaper(10)______(replace)!Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.associatedB.likelyC.decreasesD.abstractE.limitF.funG.contributesH.consistentlyI.favorablyJ.reasonedK.averageThe Beadles sang that money can't buy you love.But what about happiness?Research(41)______shows that the more money people have,the more likely they are to report being satisfiedwith their lifes.And that makes sense:money buys you things that make life easier and more satisfying;the easier your life,the happier you tend to be.That relationship isn’t entirely linear,since there's a(n) (42)______to how much money can please you;the happiness benefit of an increasing income is especially powerful among people who don’t have much money to start with,and(43)______as wealth increases.But studies also reveal that as(44)______income levels have risen over time inthe U.S.and European nations.For example---residents of those countries have not reported beingany happier than people were30or40year ago.It's a paradox that while income and happiness may be(45)______within a population at any given moment,overall economic growth does not appearto corresponded to a boost in national satisfaction over time.To understand why,researchers at the University of Warwick and Cardiff University decidedto break down how individual people evaluate their income.What does wealth mean to people? Previous work has suggested that people tend to value their own wealth more-and are happier-whenit compares(46)______to everyone else's.The so-called reference-income hypothesis holds that itis not simply how much money you make that(47)______to satisfaction,but how much more money make than,say,the national average.The higher your salary than the norm,the happier you tend to be.But the reference-income hypothesis is rather(48)______.The researchers wondered whether there was a more concrete way to capture how people valued their income.They(49)______that people tended to make specific comparisons of personal wealth,not only with the average incomeof the larger population,but with the individual incomes of their neighbors,colleagues from college. And the higher their rank,the greater their sense of happiness and self-worth would(50)______ be."For example,people might care about whether they are the second most highly paid person orthe eighth most highly paid person,in their comparison set.”write the author,Chris Boyce,a psychologist at the University of Warwick.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following

B.industrialization C.modernization D.deforestation65.A.appearance B.explosion C.loss D.increase Section BDirection：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.(A)The definition of the standard kilogram is almost fundamentally wrong.Getting the definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use—quantities suchas speed or electric power.All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties that are beyond human control.For example,the standard second(time)is defined as a specific number of vibration of a typeof radiation sent out by atoms of a special metal.The standard metre(length),in turn,is defined asthe length of the path light travels during a specific fraction of a second.Not so the kilogram.This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder（铂—铱合⾦筒）locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights&Measures in Sevres,France. Embarrassingly,the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about20parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the previous checkup in the1940s.This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.No one knows what causes the weight changes.But the uncertainty can’t be tolerated when precision(精密度)in research and some manufacturing now demands accuracy to a few parts per billion.Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram in terms of basic physical quantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a specific substance in a kilogram or the electromagnetic force that balances a kilogram mass against gravity.A project of the latter type at the laboratories in Gaithersburg,Md.,hopes eventually to define mass by means of electrical units.So far,none of these redefinition projects has borne fruit.They require the very accuracy of measurement and control of experimental conditions.The slightest pollution,tiny vibration,or other influence--even changes in weather--can ruin results.Y ou’vegot to hand it to scientists who are willing to devote many years to such painstaking but extremely important research.66.Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence“Not so kilogram”in paragragh4?A．The kilogram is not as accurate as the standard second.B．The kilogram is not universally accepted in the world.C．The kilogram is not defined in terms of natural properties.D．The kilogram is not well defined as time and length.67.Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A．Experiments are being carried out to redefine the kilogram.B．The uncertainty in the standard kilogram can seriously affect some research.C．The redefining of the standard kilogram is quite complicatedD．Scientists will achieve success in redefining the kilogram in the near future68.According to the passage,to define the weight of mass in terms of electrical units________.A．is one of the best methods to redefine the kilogram.B．has been accepted as the only possible redefinition projectC．is not as simple as what people can understandD．has been considered by some scientists as a better approach69.We can know form the passage that the redefinition of the kilogram is________.A．more important in keeping market honesty.B．worth years of scientists’painstaking research.C．the urgent requirement of business and manufacturing.D．bring about important and fruitful results.（B）Stewart Island Ferry ServicesWhile most visitors spend at least one night on Stewart Island,it is also readily accessible by ferry as a day excursion from Invercargill and Bluff.Experience Foveaux Strait in comfort and style on board our express catamarans.During the one-hour crossing between Bluff and Stewart Island keep a lookout for wildlife,especially seabirds.

A．At8:00a.m..B．At9:30a.m..C．At11:00a.m..D．At3:00p.m..72.Which of the following is false about the ferry services?A．Tea and coffee are free for passengers.B．Children go free for travel for about15days.C．Travelers are sure to see some seabirds during the crossing.D．Passengers have to pay extra cost for extra pieces of luggage.（C）Like every dog,every disease now seems to have its day.World Tuberculosis(infections disease in which growths appear on the lungs)Day is on Saturday March24th.Tuberculosis was once terribly fashionable.Dying of"consumption"seems to have been a favorite activity of garret-dwelling19th-century artists,h has,however,been neglected of late. Researchers in the field never tire of pointing out that TB kills a lot of people.According to figures released earlier this week by the World Health Organization,1.6million people died of the diseasein2005,compared with about3m for AIDS and l m for malaria.But it receives only a fraction ofthe research budget devoted to AIDS.America’s National Institutes of Health,for example,spends20times as much on AIDS as on TB.Nevertheless,everyone seems to getting in on the TB-day actthis year.The Global Fund an international organization responsible fur fighting all three diseases but best known for its work on AIDS,has used the occasion to trumpet its tuberculosis projects.Thefund claims that its anti-TB activities since it opened for business in2002have saved the lives ofover1m people.The W orld Health Organization has issued a report that contains some good news. Although the number of TB cases is still rising,the rate of illness seems to have stabilized;the caseload,in other words,is growing only because the population itself is going up.Even drug companies are involved.In the run-up to the day itself,Eli Lilly announced a$50m boost to its MDRTB Global Partnership.MDR stands for multi-drug resistance,and it is one of the reasons why TB is back in the limelight.Careless treatment has caused drug-resistant strains to evolve all over the world.The course of drugs needed to clear the disease completely takes six mouths,anti persuading people lo stay that course once their symptoms have gone is hard. Unfortunately,those infected with MDR have to be treated with less effective,more poisonous and more costlydrugs.Naturally,these provoke still more.non-compliance and thus still more evolution.The other reason TB is back is its relationship to AIDS.The(global Fund’s joint responsibility for the diseases is no coincidence.AIDS does not kill directly.Rather,HIV,the virus that causes it, weakens the body’s immune system and exposes the sufferer to secondary infections.Of these,TBis one of the most serious.It kills200000AIDS patients a year.However,some anti-TB drugs interfere with the effect of some anti-HIV drugs.Conversely,in about20%of cases where a patienthas both diseases,anti-HIV drugs make the tuberculosis worse.The upshot is that125years after human beings worked out what caused TB,it is still a serious threat.73.The first sentence“Like every dog,every disease now seems to have its day.”means_______.。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Being alone in outer space can be frightening-That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flight were given plenty of work to keep them (45) . They were also inconstant communication with people on the earth (46) being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine voyages. It will also happen on (47) space fights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of (48) is. When men are(49) together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy.

As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. (55) the faults already found out in the education system as a whole such as child-centered learning, the discovery method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils- there have been several serious (56) which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum(课程) of the thorough teaching of English (57) . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so (58) that the mostable pupils are (59) and are bored while the least able are lost and (60) Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favor of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having (61) lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. (62) they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and (63) modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop (64) resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of56.

How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison a:"Official Taste Tester" for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream-as well as for developing over 75 flavors.Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No- there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes, he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself. "Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy out happy- working at once cool job.65. what is John Harrison’s job?A. An officialB. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemistD. An ice-cream manufacturer.66.

He examines the colour of the ice cream A. He stirs the ice creamC. He tastes the flavor of the ice creamD. He lets the ice cream warm up.68.

As the name implies. mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up The new "forever stamp" is the United States Postal Service(USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation, competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the "forever stamp" and the savingsfrom not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps.

"This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he'll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. " We won't be able to send our kids to college on these, "he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal Regulatory Commission's decision, but tends to follow its recommendations.

In a victory ofgreen business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce ecofriendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of eventseach year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up witha material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been madewaterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildingsincluding churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called My habs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated fromhis product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the city's private companies which fund new business andfound a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and wontheir support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to My habs and taken a share of 30 percent inMr. Dunlop's business. The first My habs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketedfully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as fordisaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the My habsteam before the festivalgoers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalizedand the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. Theevents are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76. "Ecofriendly tents" in Paragraph 1 refer to tents ______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City's administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect78. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users79.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician80. ______There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school.81. ______Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and ta lent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.82. ______Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.83. ______The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.84. ______The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. new jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.V.

Here are six pieces of advice for you.1.Make a shopping list.Before you go the mall,make a list of everything you want to buy.The rule: you’re not__71__to buy anything unless it is already on your list.It’ll help keep your impulse shopping to a__72__.2.Only bring the cash you need.Before you set out,put a small amount of cash in your wallet to __73__all the buying you plan on doing.When the cash runs out,your shopping is done for the day.3.When it comes to clothes,just buy the basics.Before you buy new clothes,as yourself how often you’ll actually wear them.Chances are,you’re better off with a smaller number of basic pieces that you can make__74__every day with the help of accessories.4.When in__75__,leave the store.On the fence about whether or not to buy something?Put it down and leave the store.If you decide later that you really,really want it,you can go back and buy it the next day.5.Pick your shopping friends wisely.Some of your friends are shopaholics themselves.Instead of hitting the mall with those friends,call up some friends who’ll give you their__76__opinions and won’t __77__you to buy anything.6.Don’t be tempted by sales.Shoppers will sometimes buy something they don’t need just because it’s super-cheap.Cheap or not,it will not be__78__to spend money on something you’ll never use.III.Reading ComprehensionMore and more shoppers are buying things online these days,allowing them to avoid__79__ salespeople and long lines at checkout counters.In spite of online convenience,__80__,there are some items—like clothes—that customers prefer to__81__before buying.In light of this,two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and__82__the gap between online and in-store retail(零售).A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans,Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping__83__for its customers.Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans__84__down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and__85__the Hointer app,after which they select the size and press“try on.”The app then directs them to a specific dressing room.German-made robots bring out the__86__jeans and deliver them through a chute(斜槽)to the dressing room in about30seconds. Immediately after__87__pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute,the“outbox,”they disappear from the list in the app.Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe(刷卡)of a credit card.And interacting with a salesperson is optional!This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal:developing__88__that supports a retail revolution.Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has__89__a more personalized shopping experience.Although it is —in fact—an online retailer,Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops.Shoppers make a(n)__90__online before arriving at a Guideshop,where they receive one-on-one__91__from a fitting guide.Because these shops have limited inventories(存货),shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select.But guides help shoppers make online purchases beforethey leave,after which the items will be__92__to customers in one or two days.While Hointer focuses on convenience,Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service.But both efforts have one thing__93__: giving clothing retailers a new look for the21st century.79.

tones.Sometimes,however,I receive a gift,reminding me of the gifts in my life.The following passage is one of those gifts.Peter Jones is a92­year­old,short,calm and proud man.Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o’clock,with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved,even though he is unable to see.He would move to a nursing home today.His wife of70years recently passed away,making the move necessary.After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home,he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he moved his walker skillfully to the elevator,the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room.“I love it,”he stated with the ebullience of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new pet dog.“Mr.Jones,you haven’t been to the room,”said the nurse.“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,”he replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged...it’s how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love it.It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice:I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work,or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.Each day is a gift,and as long as I am alive,I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.”May each of our days continue to be a gift.94.What do we know about Mr.Jones?A.His wife died many years ago.B.He received a pet from the nurse.C.His room in the nursing home is big.D.He is blind but very neat.95.How did Mr.Jones feel about his room in the nursing home?A.Content.B.Disappointed.C.Worried.D.Curious.96.The underlined word“ebullience”in paragraph three is closest in meaning to________.A.sadnessB.enthusiasmC.faithD.ambition97.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Living in a nursing homeB.Each day is a giftC.Arranging your mind every dayD.We’re always grateful(B)“Hi there.How’s it going?”“Oh,fine.Fine.How about this weather,huh?”“Well,I guess we can always use the rain.”What’s that?This story?Oh,just a little look at small talk.You know;those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day.Maybe you’re waiting for the elevator.Or in a line at the bank.It all seems pretty trivial.Idle chatter about traffic doesn’t do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten.But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.Pat Oliver,assistant professor on arts,says that,“Left unchecked,small talk can be an invasion.It’s so powerful.It does something to you.”“Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary,”Oliver says,“If I don’t make small connection with another person,I can’t work.”What causes it?As a rule,you’re either trying to force something into your life,or you’re using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out.You can be wanting to connect with another person,and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time.Take the elevator,for instance.Now there’s prime territory.Nobody knows anyone and there’s no reason no start a conversation,but invariably,someone does.“Making conversation in such peaceful social settings”,according to Oliver,“can confirm your territory.It’s a way of feeling like and accepted.”The topics of small talk don’t matter.In fact,you don’t want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic.It’s non-threatening talk in a threatening situation.However,the rules change quickly when you’re with lots of people doing lots of talking.Let’s say you’re at a party.Now it’s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you,so you don’t look silly standing by the food table alone all night.98.“Small talk”,as interpreted by the author,_______.A.has no real function in communication at allB.is usually meaningless and therefore uselessC.is not as idle as it may seem to beD.is restricted to certain topics only99.According to the author,small talk is often used_______.A.to invade other’s private affairsB.to share a secret between intimate friendsC.to open and maintain channels of communicationD.to protect one’s own privacy100.Why is small talk described as“non-threatening talk in a threatening situation”?A.It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted with danger.B.It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable.C.It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment.D.It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation.101.According to the author,at a big party,small talk is used with the purpose of_______.A.making both others and yourself feel at easeB.excluding those you don’t like from joining you.C.keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you.forting those who feel lonely(C)Bicycle SafetyOperation Always ride your bike in a safe,controlled manner on campus.Obey rules and regulations.Watch out for walkers and other bicyclists,and always use your lights in dark conditions.Theft Prevention Always securely lock your bicycle to a bicycle rack---even if you are only away for a minute.Register your bike with the University Department of Public Safety.It’s fast,easy,and free. Registration permanently records your serial number,which is useful in the possible recovery of the bike stolen.EquipmentBrakes Make sure that they are in good working order and adjusted properly.Helmet A necessity,make sure your helmet meets current safety standards and fit properly.Lights Always have a front headlight---visible at least500feet in front of the bike.A taillight is a good idea.Rules of the RoadRiding on Campus As a bicycle rider,you have a responsibility to ride only on streets and posted bicycle paths.Riding on sidewalks or other walkways can lead to a fine.The speed limit for bicycles on campus is15mph,unless otherwise posted.Always give the right of ways to walkers.If you are involved in an accident,you are required to offer appropriate aid,call the Department of Public Safety and remain at the scene until the officer lets you go.Bicycle Parking Only park in areas reserved for bikes.Trees,handrails,hallways,and sign posts are not for bicycle parking,and parking in such posts can result in a fine.If Things Go WrongIf you break the rules,you will be fined.Besides violating(违背)rules while riding bicycles on campus,you could be fined for:No bicycle registration---------------------------------------------------$25Bicycle parking banned--------------------------------------------------$30Blocking path with bicycle---------------------------------------------$40Violation of bicycle equipment requirement-------------------------$35102.Registration of your bicycle may help you________.A.find your stolen bicycleB.get your serial numberC.receive free repair servicesD.settle conflicts with walkers103.According to the passage,what bike equipment is a free choice for bicycle riders?A.Brakes.B.A helmet.C.A headlight.D.A taillight.104.When you ride a bicycle on the campus,_______.A.ride on posted bicycle paths and sidewalksB.cycle at a speed of over15mphC.put the walkers’right of way firstD.call the police before leaving in a case of accident105.If you lock your bicycle to a tree on the campus,you could be fined______.A.$25B.$30C.$35D.$40(D)But what is teacher quality?How can one measure it reliably?An analysis is issued a sample of data a Texas school district.Experts argue convincingly that teacher effectiveness should be measured by students’gains on standardized tests:Mr.Smith is presumably a better teacher than Ms.Brown if his students consistently improve their test scores more than hers do.Though this approach is appealing,there are tricky issues.For example,what if Ms.Brown teaches in a school where students score so high there is little room for improvement?The authors try to correct for this problem,as well as other sorts of measurement issues,to generate a measurement of teacher effectiveness.The paper is primarily concerned with how this measure is related to other observable characteristics.The first finding is that there is a large variation in teacher effectiveness:some teachers consistently have a larger impact on their students’achievement than others.Second,easily observable characteristics like having a master’s degree or a passing score on the teacher certification exam are not correlated with teacher effectiveness.Then what does matter?The most important single influence is experience:first-year teachers are much less effective than others.The second year is significantly better,and by the fourth year,most teachers hit their stride.It is not entirely clear whether this experience effect is learning by doing(the more you teach,the more effective you become)or survival of the fittest(those who are not good at teaching tend to drop out early).From my reading of the paper,both effects appear important and there is no simple answer.The data do suggest,however,that teacher effectiveness is pretty clear by the end of the second year,so the information to make an informed decision is available at that time.The authors also investigate the contentious issue of racial matching of students and teachers.Here they find strong evidence that minority teachers tend to be more effective with minority students.Again,it is unclear whether this is because of a role model effect(students respond better of their own race)or an empathy effect(teachers empathize better with students of their own race)or something else entirely.The authors also look at teacher mobility.There is some evidence that teachers who quit teaching or switch schools tend to be below average in effectiveness.This is consistent with the survival-of-the-fittest model.106.The author of this passage holds the view that__________.A.teachers will perform better with time passingB.ineffective teachers should leave earlier rather than laterC.teacher’s effectiveness is apparent after a couple of yearsD.a master’s degree will improve teacher’s effectiveness107.Why do black teachers tend to be more effective with black students?A.Students feel secure,so they respond better.B.Teachers sympathize with students of their own race.C.There are entirely some other identified reasons.D.The reasons are far from clear and definite.108.Which of the following may serve as the best title?A.Tenure,Turnover and the Quality of TeachingB.Impact of Teacher Quality on Student LearningC.Different Sorts of Measurement IssuesD.Survival-of-the-fittest Model vs.Learning-by-doing ModelIV.Translation1.学生应该在课堂上举手回答问题。

The discovery could enable crops to be bred which are more adaptive to changes in climate conditions, such as water scarcity, and help ensure food security in the future.These findings, published in the journal Science, describe a new mechanism discovered by cooperating teams at the universities of Nottingham and Durham.Roots are critical for plants to acquire water and nutrients from the soil. Water is essential for plant growth, yet changing climatic conditions makes acquiring water from soil even more challenging. Plants are able to adapt to different soil moisture（湿润） conditions by altering their root architecture, but up until now, it was not understood how this is done.The researchers discovered that plant roots lacking a branching master gene were no longer able to branch out. They found that when roots are exposed to moisture, the certain gene remains active and promotes root branching, but when exposed to air, the gene is inactivated,blocking root branching.Professor Sadanandom explained： ''Plants are relatively immobile and therefore their growth is very much dependent on their environment. Our research has identified the particular protein which can inactivate root branching, therefore limiting plant growth and development." "This is hugely exciting as it opens up the possibility for us to help develop plants that could continue to branch roots even in challenging conditions such as water scarcity."Professor Bennett concluded："Water is critical for plant growth, development and their survival. By studying how plant roots change their branching in response to water availability, we have uncovered a novel mechanism. This represents a major step forward and opens theway for breeders to develop new crops better adapted to climate change and helping deliver global food security."It is absolutely imperative to ensure food security worldwide. Crop production must doubleby 2050 to keep pace with global population growth. This target is even more challenging given the impact of climate change on water availability and the drive to reduce fertilizers to make agriculture become more environmentally sustainable. In both cases, developing crops with better ability to acquire water would provide a solution.（1）The findings of the research may have a positive effect on several global issues EXCEPT___ ．A． solving water scarcityB． increasing crop productionC． preserving the agricultureD． ensuring food security（2）With the help of the findings, plants may be able to___ ．A． branch out without a special geneB． grow in challenging conditionsC． alter inactivated rootsD． breed soluble nutrients（3）Which of the following is closest to the meaning of "imperative" in the last paragraph？___ A． fascinatingB． influentialC． enormousD． urgent（4）What is the new mechanism mentioned by Professor Bennett？___A． Why plants have different abilities to adapt to soil moisture conditions.B． How a branching master gene responds to a particular fertilizer.C． How plant roots alter their shape according to the soil moisture.D． How the particular protein inactivates root branching when exposed to water.33.（填空）Four Little-known European DestinationsEveryone's heard of Europe's major tourist destinations and rightly so - after all, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Rome are all famous for a reason. But there are still numerous cities and regions that aren't even mentioned on typical European "to--do" lists. The following destinations offer a perfect reason to step slightly off the beaten track.Innsbruck, AustriaBuried at the foot of the towering Alps, the Austrian city of Innsbruck offers guests a chance to appreciate a blend of old and new. The old town dates back over 800 years, and provides a glimpse at Medieval life in the region, while the modern Home of the Giant, a massive center of arts, entertainment and shopping, is the largest of its kind in the world. Within the center is the stunning Swarovskio Crystal Cloud. During winter months, tourists can participate in various alpine activities. Skiing, snowboarding and many other sports are offered on the nearby slopes；during summer, the area provides a perfect site for rock climbing and hiking. Nature lovers can visit the Alpine Zoo, while history lovers can get lost in the many museums and galleries the town has to offer.Tallinn, EstoniaLocated in Estonia and rarely featured as a must-see destination, Tallinn, nonetheless, offers a fascinating chance to relive history in one of Europe's lesser-visited nations. A vibrant city that frequently hosts festivals of various genres, Tallinn is home to the expansive Kumu Art Museum, which has got both classic and contemporary pieces, and the Open Air Museum, a recreated historic village complete with staff in ancient costumes. To add a brilliant final touch to the Estonian experience, visitors should listen for the haunting sounds of the organ from one of the many churches around the city.Cinque Terre, ItalyA UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997， the villages of Cinque Terre have a range of activities for everyone. Outdoor enthusiasts can opt to dive or snorkel（潜水） in the marine park, and anyone chasing nature can watch the birdlife in the Riomaggiore's Torre Guardiola.

On the contrary, it helps farmers and improves forest soils. This is the unorthodox（非正统的） view of a German soil scientist who has shown that burnt clearings in the Amazon, dating back more than 1，000 years, helped create patches of rich, fertile soil that farmers still benefit from today.Most rainforest soils are thin and poor because they lack minerals and because the heat and heavy rainfall destroy most organic matter in the soils within four years of it reaching the forest floor. It means topsoil contains few of the ingredients needed for long-term successful farming. But Bruno Glaser, a soil scientist of the University of Bayreuth, has studied unexpectedpatches of fertile soils in the central Amazon. These soils contain lots of organic matter.Glaser has shown that most of this fertile organic matter comes from "black carbon"， the organic particles from camp fires and charred（烧焦的） wood left over from thousands of years of slash-and-burn farming. "The soils, known as Terra Preta, contained up to 70 times more black carbon than the surrounding soil," says Glaser.Unburnt vegetation rots quickly but black carbon persists in the soil for many centuries. Radiocarbon dating shows that the charred wood in Terra Preta soils is typically more than 1，000 years old."Slash-and-burn farming can be good for soils provided it doesn't completely burn all the vegetation, and leaves behind charred wood," says Glaser. ''It can be better than manure（粪肥）． Burning the forest just once can leave behind enough black carbon to keep the soil fertile for thousands of years. And rainforests easily regrow after small-scale clearing. Contrary to the conventional view that human activities damage the environment," Glaser says："Black carbon combined with human waste is responsible for the richness of Terra Preta soils."Terra Preta soils turn up in large patches all over the Amazon, where they are highly prized by farmers. All the patches fall within 500 square kilometers in the central Amazon. Glaser says the widespread presence of pottery confirms the soil's human origins. The findings add weight to the theory that large areas of the Amazon have recovered so well from past periods of agricultural use that the regrowth has been mistaken by generations of biologists for "virgin" forest.During the past decade, researchers have discovered hundreds of large earth works deep in the jungle. They are up to 20 meters high and cover up to a square kilometer. Glaser claims that these earth works, built between AD 400 and 1400， were at the heart of urban civilizations. Now it seems the richness of the Terra Preta soils may explain how such civilizations managed to feed themselves.（1）According to the passage, it is generally believed that___ ．A． slash-and-burn farming betters the forest soilsB． slash-and-burn farming reduces the black carbon in the soilsC． slash-and-burn framing does harm to the forest soilsD． slash-and-burn farming damages the minerals in the soils（2）Why are most rainforest soils thin and poor？___A． The topsoil contains a relatively small number of the ingredients.B． Most organic matter is missing because of the heat and heavy rain.C． A majority part of soils are likely to be washed away by heavy rain.D． Black carbon and human waste negatively impact the soil to a great extent.（3）Glaser claims that rainforests will recover___ ．A． when the vegetation is burnt completelyB． if there is no slash-and-burn farmingC． at a slow rate after small-scale burningD． readily after small-scale burning（4）Which of the following statement is probably true according to the passage？___A． Amazon rainforest soils used to be the richest in the world.B． Human activities will do great damage to rainforests.C． There once existed an urban civilization in the Amazon rainforests.D． Farming is responsible for the destruction of the Amazon rainforests.35.（填空）Certainly, US monetary policy___ （intend） to address both financial and economic issues in the US．36.（填空）My sister said she heard Jerry___ （sing） a song of Jay Chou at the singing competition and won the first prize.37.（填空）While gingko trees can live for a long time, they are not even near___ （be） the oldest trees.38.（填空）These are the doctors___ （send） to the war-torn area for the relief effort next week.39.（填空）The department manager was unemployed after___ （accuse） of taking the company belongings for himself.40.（填空）Angkor Wat the pride of Cambodia, is believed___ （discover） again in 1858．41.（填空）___ （find） some leisure time to take a boat trip, and you will be attracted by the beautiful scenery along the Li River.42.（填空）In 2015， an unknown Chinese scientist at Sun Yat-Sen University was the first one___ （edit） the DNA of human embryos（胚胎）， which caused a great controversy.43.（填空）The path___ （蜿蜒曲折） through the mountains.44.（填空）___ （说到恶性循环） that the country has fallen into, we must take measures to stop it.45.（填空）When she was preparing for the presentation, she___ （她收集了一些关于这座体育场的信息）．46.（填空）___ （创造力是因人而异的）， so we shouldn't ask every member of the team to come up with brilliant new ideas.47.（填空）For its protection,___ （admit 每天只有一百名游客允许进入） the old house.48.（填空）Those officials believe that___ （accessible 有些决策不应该让公众知晓）．49.（填空）The children___ （leave 把他们的衣服挂在门边） and ran to play football on the playground.50.（填空）After enjoying the main course, they___ （round 用节日的特色菜来结束这顿晚餐）．51.（填空）政府要求博物馆的装修在年底前完成．（demand）___52.（填空）关于如何画好一幅山水画，她终于想到了一个不错的点子．（take shape）___53.（填空）从远处看，这栋雄伟的建筑物像一座有着悠久历史的宫殿一般．（see）___54.（填空）这件文物代表着西藏文明，这就是它出现在这本旅游手册上的原因．（reason）___。

Laughter docs _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 diflicuh to 68_, a good laugh is unlikely to have _69— benefits the way, say , walking or jogging docs.70 , instead of straining muscles to build thenk as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the _71—, studies dating back to the 1930*s indicate thai laughter _72 muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the efiects of psychological stress.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA 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 io sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a belter job. a raise, praise-many people are still unable—or unwilling—to "play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative （工计的）behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at I lofstra University. 4*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.^ In fhet, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many eases, 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 perlorm well on a consistent basis,”' says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “B ut if two or three candidates are up ibr a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote ihc person he or she likes best. Ifs 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 fbr themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss fbr favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need fbr some self-promotion.81.. “Office politics” （Line 2, Para. 4） is used in the passage to refer to.A）t he code of behavior ibr company staffB）the political views and beliefs of office workersC）the interpersonal relationships within a companyD）the various qualities required for a succcssfiil career82.To 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 arc not good at manipulating colleagues.D)They think the eftbrt will get them nowhere.84.The author considers office politics to be.A)unwelcome at the workplaceB)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 docs not necessarily mean flatteryC)hard work contributes very little to one's promotionD)many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery(B)As Artificial Intclligencc(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there arc 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.For example, if a robot docs chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to pul the pci cat in the oven to make dinner tor the hungry children. "You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values/' said Russell.Some robots arc already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there arc 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 the 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 arc dangerous only if programmers arc careless.The biggest concem with robots going against human values is that human beings foil 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 has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, wc go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what wc believe in morak and how to create a set of ethical Riles. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86.What docs 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)lt can be avoided if human values arc translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87.What would wc think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author4?A)They are aggressive.B)Thcy arc outgoing.C)Thcy arc ignorant.D)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 Hieing an unusual situation?A)kcep 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 sufiicient testing before taking action.90.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Dctcnninc what is moral and ethical.B)Dcsign some large-scale experiments.C)Set Riles for man-inachine interaction.D)Dcvelop a more sophisticated program.【参考答案】01-10 BDCBA BBCAD11-20CBAAB BBACC21-30BADDACBCCD31-40ABACB ABCBC41-50DABBC CCCDC：51-55 BDABC56-65 KJ Dill CEAFB66-80 A DBDB ADABABADAB 81-90 ACDCB CDCBA。

That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve __49__ of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by __50__ of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they __51__ the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may __52__ considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉，感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to __53__ form in its full spatial existence.This is what the sculptor must do. He must __54__ continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head-he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He __55__ visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to __56__ himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as __57__, not as description or reminiscence(回忆，联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the __58__ idea that it will become a bird. And so withsolids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.(B)A. expertB. introducedC. characterD. separation AB. establishedAC. variety AD. admired BC. complexity BD. fascinated CD. originalsABC. regardedClassical Roman dramaFollowing the expansion of the Roman Republic into several Greek territories between 270-240 BC, Rome encountered Greek drama. From the later years of the republic and by means of the Roman Empire, theatre spread west across Europe and reached England; Roman theatre was more varied, extensive and sophisticated than that of any culture before it.While Greek drama continued to be performed throughout the Roman period, the year 240 BC marks the beginning of regular Roman drama. From the beginning of the empire, however, interest in full-length drama declined in favor of a broader __59__ of theatrical entertainments. The first important works of Roman literature were the tragedies and comedies that Livius Andronicus wrote from 240 BC. Five years later, Gnaeus Naevius also began to write drama. No plays from either writer have survived. Andronicus was most appreciated for his tragedies and Naevius for his comedies; their successors(继任者) tended to be __60__ at one or the other, which led to a(n) __61__ of the subsequent development of each type of drama.By the beginning of the 2nd century BC, drama was firmly __62__ in Rome and an association of writers had been formed. The Roman comedies that have survived are all “fabula palliate” (comedies based on Greek subjects) and come from two dramatists: Plautus and Terence. In re-working the Greek __63__, the Roman comic dramatists abolished the role of the chorus(合唱) in dividing the drama into episodes and __64__ musical accompaniment to its dialogue. The action of all scenes is set in the street and its complications often follow from eavesdropping(偷听).Plautus, the more popular of the two, wrote between 205 and 184 BC and twenty of his comedies survive; people __65__ him for the wisdom of his dialogue and his use of various poetic meters. All of the six comedies that Terence wrote between 166 and 160 BC have survived; the __66__ of his plots, in which he often combined several Greek stories, was sometimes criticized, but his double-plots enabled a sophisticated presentation of contrasting human behavior. No early Roman tragedy survives, though it was highly __67__ in its day; historians know of three early tragedians—Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pacuvius, and Lucius Accius.From the time of the empire, the work of two tragedians survives—one is an unknown author, while the other is the philosopher Seneca. Nine of Seneca’s tragedies survive, all of which are tragedies from Greek stories. Historians do not know who wrote the only extant example of the fabula praetexta (tragedies based on Roman subjects), Octavia, but in former times it was mistakenly attributed to Seneca due to his appearance as a(n) __68__ in the tragedy.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AWar Peace, epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as “Voyna i mir” in 1865-69. This overall study of early 19th-century Russian society noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, __69__ as one of the world’s greatest novels. It has been widely __70__ for the stage, film, and television. Among the most notable film versions is that directed by Sergey Bondarchuk, which won an Academy Award in 1968.War and Peace is primarily __71__ with the histories of five aristocratic(贵族的) families--__72__ the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed __73__ a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon. Tolstoy uses their individual stories to portray Russia on the edge of a disastrous conflict with Napoleon’s France. Events swiftly move the central characters toward this inevitable war. No other writer is better than Tolstoy in the scale of his epic vision, which shows the mood of whole cities, the movement of armies, and the sense of coming __74__ of the entire society. Moreover, the interconnected nature of the personal and the political is __75__ explored. As Tolstoy examines his characters’ emotional reactions to the rapidly changing circumstances in which they find themselves, he uses them to represent Russian society’s responses to the demands of both war and peace.The theme of war, __76__, is not so important as the story of family life, which __77__ Tolstoy’s optimistic belief in the life-affirming(积极向上的) pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, __78__, reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and through motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a __79__ of free choice; all is ruled by an inevitable historical determinism(决定论).War and Peace is one of those few texts – James Joyce’s Ulysses is another – that are atoo often read as some kind of __80__ test, only to be either abandoned halfway or displayed as a victory, never to be touched again. It is indeed very long, but it is a novel that is truly worth close attention and re-reading. Like the movies of Andrei Tarkovsky, whose life and thoughts were greatly __81__ by Tolstoy, once you enter into his Russia, you will not want to leave: and in this __82__, the length of the text becomes a virtue, since there is simply more of it to read. Tolstoy may be unjustly famed for his ability to talk off the point, but to sacrifice the unity of the full novel for a short version of the text is to __83__ the reading experience.69.

As a key figure of the High Renaissance, he is specifically celebrated for his ambitious approach to scale and his expertise on anatomy(解刨). While all of his masterworks convey his undeniable talent, his world-famous fresco(湿壁画) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel stands above the rest.Painted for the pope, the composition depicts a range of religious iconography(象征手法) in Michelangelo’s distinctive style, making it one of the most cherished masterpieces in the world.The Sistine Chapel is a large chapel named after Pope Sixtus IV, who oversaw its restoration in the late 15th century. Historically, the chapel has had various important functions. Today, it still possesses its religious role, as it serves as the site where the next pope is elected.What the Sistine Chapel is most well-known for, however, is its ceiling. Painted by Florentine fine artist Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni between 1508 and 1512, the complex and colorful fresco is celebrated for its realistic figures, vast size, and innovative process.By the early 16th century, Michelangelo were a respected artist known throughout Italy. He was particularly praised for his ability—both in painting and sculpture—figures with lifelike anatomical features, as evident in his famous David statue from 1504. Given the artist’s reputation, it is no surprise that Pope Julius ordered him to decorate the ceiling of Sistine Chapel, whose walls were already decorated with frescoes by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, and other famed artists.While the pope’s plans for the ceiling was centered around a depiction of the 12 apostles(门徒), Michelangelo had bigger plans: he would paint several scenes in Bible featuring over 300 figures.Like many other Italian Renaissance painters, he used a fresco technique, meaning he applied washes of paint to wet plaster(石灰泥). In order to create an illusion of depth, Michelangelo would remove some of the wet medium prior to painting. This method ended in visible “outlines” around his figures—a detail considered characteristic of the artist. As plaster dries quickly, Michelangelo worked in sections, applying planes of fresh plaster each day.Today, the Sistine Chapel remains both a popular tourist destination and highly religious site. Roughly 25,000 people view the spectacular ceiling each day, proving the lasting legacy of one of Michelangelo’s most well-known works and of the striking art of the High Renaissance.84.From paragraph 1, we know that Michelangelo ________.A. had a good knowledge of buildingB. had a particularly ambitious life goalC. was expert at sculptingD. stood above the chapel while painting85.Fresco painted by Michelangelo stands out for the following characteristics EXCEPT that _______.A. its production procedures are creativeB. the figures shown in the fresco are lifelikeC. it is large in size painted in black and whiteD. it shows a number of scenes in the Bible86.In making the fresco, Michelangelo would _______.A. create outlines around the figures in itB. apply all the fresh plaster in the beginningC. remove some paint from the wet plasterD. avoid making an illusion of depth87.Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The Sistine Chapel, named after Pope Sixtus IV, was built up in the late 15th century.B. The ceiling had partly been painted by other artists before Michelangelo started.C. It was at the age of 33 that Michelangelo finished the seemingly impossible task.D. The chapel maintained its religious function apart from being a scenic spot.(B)Italy has produced many brilliant minds who have made their mark on art history. During the Renaissance(文艺复兴), the Italian city-states were at the center of an incredible flowering of visual culture that would not only influence generations onward but would also redefine what it meant to be an artist. Painters and sculptors came to be seen not only as craftsmen, but also men of learning who could express something deeply personal. Then came the drama and intensity of the Baroque artists. Modern times brought more change, some artists explored deeply into their medium while others turned to political and social issues. All along the way, there were standout personalities who illuminated the concerns of their time. Check out some of the most interesting figures in Italian art.Leonardo da VinciMuch has been said about this true Renaissance man, who was not only a painter but a mathematician, scientist, engineer, inventor, architect and much, much more. His endless curiosity and imagination led him to dream up machines that were far ahead of his time, study anatomy(解刨学) in brand-new ways and, of course, create paintings and drawings that would impress people for many centuries. In his paintings, there is an overwhelming sense of the mystery of existence – the mystery that he sought to chase and understand.Michelangelo BuonarottiIn many ways, Michelangelo defined what it means to be an artist. Though he’s known for his paintings, he considered himself first and foremost a sculptor. Born and raised in a little town, he grew up to be a master of anatomy. He used the straining and twisting muscles of the human body to express his powerful vision of the world. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture.Giovanni BelliniBellini was the Venetian of the Renaissance who took the medium of oil painting to a new expressive capacity. He was the pioneer of a technique where the colors were gradually built up in thin, translucent(半透明) layers. The end result is glossy, rich and shining like no other. In his paintings, you’ll find a kind of peaceful silence, lighted by gorgeous colors that seem to be lit from within.Artemisia GentileschiArtemisia is one of the great boundary-breaking painters of the Baroque era. Female artists of her time were confined to still life paintings and portraits, because it was considered improper for women to paint from the nude figure. But Artemisia wouldn’t let that stop her. At just 17, she broke taboos with her painting of Susanna and the Elders, in which she proudly displays a full-frontal nude(裸体) in the center of the frame. She was raped two years later by another painter and experienced physical sufferings during the investigation of the trial, but her struggles only fueled her artistic production as she turned out painting after painting of strong, defiant women.88.Which of the following group is the common point of the works of the artists mentioned above?A. Pioneer and originalB. Conservative but pioneerC. Powerful and beautifulD. Mysterious but direct89.What does “defiant” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. admirableB. challengingC. disrespectfulD. obedient90.Which one of the following statement is FALSE according to the passage?A. Giovanni was expert at making use of colors and was also a leader in artistic expression.B. As a master of anatomy, Michelangelo handled human bodies very well in his works.C. Despite their amazing sculptures, sculptors were seen as craftsman during the Renaissance.D. Leonardo da Vinci was curious and imaginative enough to stand ahead of his times.(C)“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone as 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeed, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring — or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, he and the A&M team has failed over and over again. The wastage of eggs and the many fetuses（胎）may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and super-smart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”91.By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin and A&M team attempt to ________.A. figure out the possibility of human cloningB. find out the differences between Missy and its cloneC. study why the prototype, Missy, is so athletic and smartD. show their love for lovely Missy since it has passed away92.It can be seen from the passage that dog cloning _________.A. was conducted long before the sheep cloningB. has gained an unexpected cold response from the societyC. has posed a great financial challenge to WesthusinD. can generate an enormous wealth of economic returns93.What is Westhusin’s attitude towards what he is doing?A. CarefulB. OptimisticC. PassiveD. Indifferent94.What can be learned from the passage?A. Current cloning techniques have proved quite adequate for human cloning.B. The outcome of Westhusin’s dog cloning project remains uncertain.C. Dangerous as it is, cloning is an incredibly efficient method.D. Westhusin thought it an interesting attempt to clone human beings.第II卷I.

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 was argued 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.

ConverselySection BDirections:Read the following 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.AA 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 sell 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.”In 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 staffB) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. To 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 workplaceB) 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 little 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.For 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 the 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 wayto 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 has the 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.D)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.B)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—10BDCBA BBCAD11—20CBAAB BDACC21—30BADDA CBBCD31—40AAACB ABCBC41—50DABBC CDCDC51—55BDABCII. 56—65ABC BD D AD BC C E A AB BIII 66--80CDBAB ADABC DADACIV. 每题两分81—85CABDB86—90CDCBA。
