Would it be better off if (寿命) were doubled?The question is of growing , and serious debate about it goes back a few years to theKronos Conference on Longevity Health in . Gregory Stock, of theProgram on Medicine, , and Society at UCLA’s School of Public Health, answered thequestion with a firm “Yes”. A doubled lifespan, Stock said, would “give us a chance to recoverfrom our mistakes, lead us longer-term thinking and delay the start of expensive diseasesof aging. It would also raise productivity adding to our prime years.”Callahan, a cofounder of the Hastings Center in New York, didn’t share Stock’s enthusiasm.For one thing, he , doubling life won’t solve any of our problems. “Wehave war, , all sorts issues around, and I don’t think any of them would be at all helpedif people live longer,” Callahan said in a . “The question is, ‘What will we getas a society?’ I it won’t be a better society.”Others point out that a doubling of human lifespan will affect society at every level.

A Doubled : Possible or Not(C)Ideas about appropriate behavior vary from one culture another and it’s easy to feel offended, or offence, if you don’t other cultures .Some societies, such as America and , for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and house quite frequently. As a result, they a lot of relationships that often last only ort time, and they need to get to know . So it’s normal to have friendly with people they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would as private.At the other extreme are more crowded and mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Mexican businessperson, for example, will want to get toknow you very well he or she feels happy to business. But wh n you do get to knoweach other, the becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.Besides, the understanding rules culture to culture. Some societies have “universalist”cultures. These societies have a strong respect for rules, and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way. “Particularist”societies, on the other hand, also haverules, but they are less than the ideas about is right or wrong for a particular situation or a person. So the normal rules are bent to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems.

II.Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.The Sisterhood of the Traveling DiaryKyra Peralte thought keeping a diary might help her sort out her troubled feelings.In April2020,the mother of two in New Jersey,started writing about the challenges of handling work,marriage and motherhood during a global crisis.Writing released emotions,but Peralte,now46,wanted to know how other women were doing.So she made an unusual offer.She invited women from near and far to fill the__21__(remain)lined pages of her notebook with their own stories.She named the project The Traveling Diary.So many wanted to participate__22__Peralte decided to create a website ()for people to add their names to the queue.She came up with a system:each person__23__(get)to keep the diary for three days and fills as many pages as she wishes.Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person.So far,more than2,000women from30countries__24__(participate).Of course,not all those entries could fit in just one journal.More than50of these notebooks are currently__25__use.About20completed ones are back in Peralte’s possession.Each participant fills the pages with her own handwriting,narrating herexperiences,recounting obstacles she faced,and sharing__26__(learn)lessons.Kirsty Nicol,31from London,received the journal in March2021.She said reading the entries allowed her to transport her into the lives of__27__and find bits of wisdom they left.One such pearl came from a woman in Australia.She had written:“Working with the setbacks.Not against them.Patience and gratitude.It’s a dance.Life is moving and we__28__stamp our feet in rejection,or we can gracefully embrace the mess,tidying as we go.”“It has really evolved into a community,”Peralte says.She sends participants a weekly newsletter and often hosts online meetings so the women get the chance to get to know one another more,share stories and feel__29__(distant).Some of the women,she says,have even become close friends.Her spontaneous idea,she says,has had a profound effect on the women__30__were part of it.“The Traveling Diary is making sisters out of strangers.”She says.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Magical Creatures:AN APPRECIATION OF AUTUMN MOTH(蛾)Moths seem to have a bit of a bad reputation:to some they are ill indications or something scary,to others they are dull in comparison to our well-loved butterflies.But moths are an essential part of a(n)__31__,and important food sources for species like birds and bats.And for me,moths are far from dull.My first meeting with an Angle Shades moth was nearly a non-encounter.I almost passed by without noticing it,thinking it was a fallen leaf on a fence post. But there was something about it that stopped me in my tracks.Its angular shape perhaps?Or the way it sat,__32__,despite the breeze.Closer__33__revealed cream and buff shell-shaped wings,painted with triangles of light pink and brown. Suddenly,it transformed from a(n)__34__leaf into a living thing before my eyes.I’ve been fascinated ever since.The Canary-shouldered Thorn,with its hairy buttercup-coloured body and yellow and orange wings,reminds me of a fallen silver birch(白桦树)leaf.A night-flyer,it favours gardens and woodlands,and is often drawn to__35__light, meaning that your torch beam may be attracting moths as well as lighting your way in the dark.It’s also worth double-checking any leaves in farm houses,as these sheltered spots are a favourite hiding place of another overwintering__36__:the Herald moth.This elegant creature’s beautiful wings look as though they’ve been __37__by hand and painted with bronze.There’s more to these imitators than fallen leaves.The Green-spotted Crescent, which__38__disappears on rough branches,has metallic green spots integrating with the moss(苔藓).Maybe I’ve already__39__crossed paths with one,though. As we dig out our big coats and slip on boots for walks beneath branches,how many moths are we missing?These clever creatures aren’t bad indications,but __40__parts of nature,with a gift for fancy-dress.III.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.I’m pretty good at sticking with things even when they get hard.Bad relationships,unpleasant workplaces,__41__sports—I’ve hung on for months and even years longer than I should have,convinced the situation would__42__if I refused to give up.After all,isn’t every success story littered with__43__?Didn’t Beyoncélose Star Search,and didn’t Oprah get fired from her first TV job?Quitting is a sign that you lack patience and strong will,or so I was raised to believe.__44__,if I look back on all the things I eventually quit,my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.I’ve wasted immeasurable time and energy dragging my heels, determined that I could__45__everyone if I just kept going.All of us are constantly making tricky choices between going further into familiar territory and__46__to expand our horizons.This is known as theexploration-exploitation trade-off.When we are younger,it’s advantageous to go far on the side of exploration,trying lots of new things because we have plenty of time to__47__later.But as we age,it’s often smarter to double down.Of course,this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t quit something just because you’ve put a lot of time into it.Economists call this the sunk cost fallacy(谬误): People are more likely to__48__something if they’ve invested a lot of money or effort into it,even when it’s clear that they should__49__their losses and jump ship.This practice is normal and__50__,but it’s also unreasonable.If an activity or relationship is making you miserable,that’s important information you shouldn’t ignore.If you don’t get energy out of doing something,it can be a(n)__51__that this is not for you or that there’s something better you could be doing.Or it could be a sign that you should__52__your goals.Maybe your yogurt startup might not win over investors,but you could still make and sell yogurt at the farmers’market on weekends.In fact,dogged persistence in the face of energy-sucking disappointment can __53__depression,and then make you suffer from diseases in the long run.But the good news is that people can learn to pay better attention to these moments when they’re happening and make__54__.The art of quitting isn’t about just letting go whenever there’s an obstacle.It’s about being able to let go when there’s no__55__to success anymore.41.A.engaging B.demanding C.inevitable D. leisure42.A.worsen B.occur C.improve D. continue43.A.frustrations B.determinations C.attempts D. inspirations44.A.Therefore B.Additionally C.For example D.

Neutral.(B)Keep Cool Next Summer with These3DevicesAs we prepare for what could be another hot summer,you may already be feeling the heat.Luckily a range of unusual and clever devices are now available to help make hot summer days more bearable.The breeze-blowing umbrellaUmbrellas serve a double function,protecting us from rain and sunlight;they also serve as a sort of personal ozone layer.The Fanbrella,which looks and feels just like a conventional umbrella,is perfect for keeping the rain at bay but boasts a delicate fan located underneath the cover,so that you can enjoy fresh cool air while you walk through the summer showers.The fan is small and quiet enough to be unnoticeable yet powerful enough to reduce humidity.Operated by a switch on the handle of the umbrella,it can be activated only when you need it most.Air conditioned bedsHumid nights are a horrible experience for most people,causing much discomfort and making sleep impossible.Unfortunately,a conventional fan in your bedroom will do little to mitigate your suffering,as humid air is simply blown around the room.An air conditioned bed is the perfect solution!This revolutionary furniture boasts quiet fans at the foot of the bed that help to circulate cool air from the opposite end,so you’re effectively sleeping on an air conditioned bed.With low running costs,summer nights without sleep could be a thing of the past.The iPhone faniPhones are known for getting pretty hot to the touch when you’re using one, but now your smartphone could be the perfect device to help keep the summer heat at bay when you’re working at your desk or on the move.The small plastic fan fits onto the top of your iPhone and plugs into your phone’s charging socket(充电插座),so you need not worry about running out of batteries.With a quiet motor,you can be confident that colleagues won’t be disturbed and,if you remember to keep your iPhone charged,you can take the fan anywhere,from a sweaty train ride home to a walk in the local park with family.With a range of inventive accessories to help make hot days more bearable,all we need now is a summer!60.What makes a breeze-blowing umbrella superior to a conventional umbrella?A.It creates a personal ozone layer to avoid sunlight.B.It boasts unconventional and luxurious appearance.C.It can be activated by voice when you need it most.D.It has a fan to give off cool air and reduce humidity.61.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“mitigate”?A.claimB.relieveC.intensifyD.sustain62.What do we know about the iPhone fan?A.It can prevent your iPhone from temperature rise in summer heat.B.You’d better use it outdoors to avoid noise despite the quiet motor.C.It is portable and can function well without limitation of locations.D.Batteries with high-capacity should be prepared to keep it charged.(C)In the roughly250years since the Industrial Revolution,the world’s population,like its wealth,has exploded.Before the end of this century,however, the number of people on the planet could shrink for the first time since the Black Death.The root cause is not an increase in deaths,but a drop in births.Acrossmuch of the world the fertility rate,the average number of births per woman,is collapsing.Although the trend may be familiar,its extent and its consequences are not.Even as artificial intelligence(AI)leads to optimism in some quarters,the baby bust(婴儿荒)hangs over the future of the world economy.Whatever some environmentalists say,a shrinking population creates problems.The world is not close to full and the economic difficulties resulting from fewer young people are many.The obvious one is that it is getting harder to support the world’s pensioners.Retired folk draw on the output of the working-aged,either through the state,which requests taxes on workers to pay public pensions,or by cashing in savings to buy goods and services or because relatives provide care unpaid.But whereas the rich world currently has around three people between20and64years old for everyone over65,by2050it will have less than two.The implications are higher taxes,later retirements,lower real returns for savers and,possibly,government budget crises.Low proportion of workers to pensioners are only one problem resulting from collapsing fertility.Younger people have more of what psychologists call“fluid intelligence”,the ability to think creatively so as to solve problems in entirely new ways.This youthful energy adds to the accumulated knowledge of older workers.It also brings change.Patents filed by the youngest inventors are much more likely to cover breakthrough innovations.Older countries and their young people are less enterprising and less comfortable taking risks.Because the old benefit less than the young when economies grow,they have proved less keen on pro-growth policies, especially housebuilding.Creative destruction is likely to be rarer in ageing societies,restricting productivity growth in ways that compound into an enormous missed opportunity.Eventually,therefore,the world will have to make do with fewer youngsters—and perhaps with a shrinking population.With that in mind,recent advances in AI could not have come at a better time.A productive AI economy might find it easy to support a greater number of retired people.Eventually AI may be able to generate ideas by itself,reducing the need for human intelligence. Combined with robotics,AI may also make caring for the elderly less labour-intensive.Such innovations will certainly be in high demand.If technology does allow humanity to overcome the baby bust,it will fit thehistorical pattern.Unexpected productivity advances meant that demographic time-bombs(人口定时炸弹)failed to explode.Fewer babies mean less human genius.But that might be a problem human genius can fix.63.What can be learned from the first paragraph?A.The collapsing fertility rate is to blame for the shrinking population.B.Black Death marked the shrinking number of people for the first time.C.Industrial Revolution weakened the increase of the world’s population.D.The public are familiar with the extent and the influence of the baby bust.64.What makes it harder to support the world’s pensioners?A.Close relatives have refused to take care of the old without being paid.B.The output of the working-aged which the old can draw on is shrinking.C.The old have cashed in savings to cover expenses of goods and services.D.The government has requested taxes on younger employees to pay pensions.65.Why does“fluid intelligence”(in Paragraph3)suffer in ageing societies？A.Because older workers boast more accumulated knowledge.B.Because the old benefit less than the young in creative destruction.C.Because collapsing fertility results in low proportion of workers to pensioners.D.Because restricting productivity growth compounds into a missed opportunity.66.The best title for the passage is probably_____.A.The Old Pensioners Make a ComebackB.Artificial Intelligence Leads to a Bright FutureC.The Measures to Overcome the Baby BustD.The Effect of the Baby Bust on EconomySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world.B.TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame.C.The lifestyle of the“moonlight clan”has made many young people feel overwhelmed.D.Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water.E.A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Amazon.F.These“always-on purchasers”often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture.How Young Americans Spend Their MoneyYoung people have always puzzled their elders.Today’s youngsters are no different;indeed,they are confusing.They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience.They want shopping to be personal.____67____As they start spending in earnest,brands are trying to understand what these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop.The answers will define the next era of consumerism.Their absolute numbers are impressive.The European Union is home to nearly125m people between the ages of ten(the youngest will become consumers in the next few years)and34.America has another110m of these Gen-Zs and millennials,a third of the population.The annual spending of households headed by American Gen-Zs and millennials hit$2.7trn in2021,around30%of the total.____68____Forrester,a market-research firm,found that most users of“buy now,pay later”apps are around20.Megan Scott,a20-year-old student from London,speaks for many of her peers by admitting that,when shopping,she has no self-control—until the bill arrives.The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times.A study by Salesforce,a business-software giant,found that Gen-Z Americans,who prefer to use their phones to pay for shopping,are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour.____69____ The Internet has also changed how the young discover brands.Print,billboard or TV advertising has given way to social media.Instagram,part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok,a Chinese-owned app,are where the young look for inspiration,particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion,beauty and sportswear. ____70____Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform.According to McKinsey,six in ten Americans under the age of25had completed a purchase on a social-media site.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Drawing High Schoolers to ScienceA group of educators and plant scientists at Michigan State University(MSU) are connecting to reshape science classes.And this particular partnership isn’t just helping students get a better understanding of biology;it’s turning them into young scientists,even if only during class.It doesn’t take long to see that the curriculum born from this collaboration makes for a much different experience than the traditional high school biology classes.For starters,it has a comic book for a workbook.Secondly,students are getting their hands dirty growing plants.MSU researchers are also studying the plant.The high schoolers are asking some of the same questions professional plant scientists are trying to answer.“We’re getting them engaged with science in science practices,not just having them learn about science,”says Hildah Makori,a researcher at MSU.“They learn to look at things differently.That’s a life-time impact.”The main characters of the comic book are a pair of young field scientists. They invite the high school students to help with plant research inspired by a real project at MSU.By growing their own plants,the students learn about genetics, evolution and how these interact with the environment.The team has seen how this practice could keep students in the driver’s seat of their learning.To help the characters out,students set up different experiments to test their ideas.The program is working.“This comic personally gave me a click that sparked my curiosity,”reads one student’s survey response.“The comic book put a lot ofcreative atmosphere into the story instead of just looking at words,instead of just listening to the teacher talk,”says another.Teachers also had positive reviews.In a survey,one remarked how helpful it was to have the comic to refer to.The students could see the comic’s characters doing something in the lab and realize,“I’m able to do this right here at my table and I can do the same thing,”the teacher says.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72．小区里的咖啡店定于年底开张，这真是锦上添花的美事。

S. economy. He met with a bipartisan （concerning or involving two different political parties）group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Later he met individually with Democratic and Republican House and Senate leaders and spoke to a bipartisan leadership gathering. In comments to reporters early on Monday, he emphasized the urgency of finalizing economic legislation （立法）. "We have got an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us, "he said, "We are expecting a sobering job report at the end of the week. Nancy Pelosi and her staff have been extraordinarily helpful in working with our team so that we can shape an economic recovery and reinvestment plan that starts putting people back to work. "Mr. Obama wants tax cuts for individual Americans and businesses to make up a significant portion of expected legislation. This could involve as much as 300 billion dollars of a bill that is likely to go beyond 700 billion dollars and include aid to cash-poor U. S. states, and money for alternative energy and a range of infrastructure （基础设施） projects. Later, Mr. Obama said he expects to be able to sign legislation as soon as the end of this month, adding that quick action is necessary to"break the drive of the U. S. economic depression".Emerging later from bipartisan talks with Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers discussed with the president how to pass a stimulus package as quickly as possible. "An economic recovery package that will create jobs immediately and will grow the economy and that is what we talked about today, "said Nancy Pelosi. "How we could do this fast, deliberatively and to act upon it soon. "Just how soon that would be, Pelosi would not say.How much support Democrats can obtain from Republicans will depend on the details. But the severity of the U. S. economic depression has created considerable bipartisan backing for quick action. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said："There are investments that we need to make on behalf of the American people to turn around this economy. We felt very good about the meeting； we are confident that we can do this and we have to do this. ""I think the best thing I can do is to decline to comment on what they are going to do going forward, "said Dana Perino. "Obviously, we think that tax cuts were the right way to help our economy get out of the economic depression that this president inherited and we know that tax cuts can stimulate innovation. "Asked by reporters how large the economic stimulus package might be, Senate Majority Leader Reid said Obama indicated that all but one of some 28 economists advising him had said it should range from 800 billion dollars to 1.3 trillion dollars.(1) Barack Obama urged congressional leaders and met with bipartisan leadersto.A. take over the White HouseB. end economic declineC. understand each other betterD. negotiate political issues(2) If the stimulus package is passed quickly and successfully, it can.A. obtain support from RepublicansB. finalize economic legislationC. enhance America's international positionD. provide job opportunities(3) What is the bipartisan leaders' attitude towards this meeting?A.

Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no alternative than to pray to God.However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man's parcel of land remained barren.After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island.The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings since none of his prayers had been answered.As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island? ""My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them, "the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn't deserve anything. ""You are mistaken!"the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings. ""Tell me, "the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything? ""He prayed that all your prayers would be answered. "For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. So what you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself.(1) The first man's wife is.A. a swimmer who got to the island by accidentB. an angel sent by God to keep him companyC. a survivor from another wrecked shipD. a native person on the desert-like island(2) The underlined word"barren"in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.A. isolatedB. unproductiveC. fertileD. dry(3) Which of the following is true about the second man?A.

Environmental Protection Agency studiesindicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90% of their time indoors.2There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home. These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, and tobacco products;building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpet, and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products;products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, orhobbies;central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices;and outdoor sources such as radon, pesticides, and outdoor air pollution.3Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or repeated exposures. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of the pollution, if it can be identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity and fever, may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.4The likelihood of immediate reactions to indoor air pollutants depends on several factors. Age and pre-existing medical conditions are two important influences. In other cases, whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity, which varies tremendously from person to person. Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures, and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well.5Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral diseases, so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the time and place the symptoms occur. If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns, an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes.A. Factors that influence reactions to pollutantsB. Possible sources of indoor air pollutionC. Ways to identify diseases with similar symptomsD. Long-term effects after repeated exposureE. A commonly-ignored health threatF. Immediate symptoms and regular treatment六、任务型阅读（每题2.5分，共10分）23、【来源】 2013年上海静安区高三二模第71~74题10分2013年上海杨浦区高三二模第71~74题10分2013年上海宝山区高三二模第71~74题10分2013年上海青浦区高三二模第71~74题10分Children and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1, 000children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder； a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. "Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest antisocial behavior and personality traits. "Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first'real-life'study that has asked about TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we're not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society, "says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1to2hours of quality television programming each day.

Researching possible donors and 41 a database of names and organizations is one key to success, but the ability to write a donation-request letter has an even greater impact on successful fund-raising. The following are some tips/instructions.Research potential donors via the Internet. Research small companies in 42 to large foundations. Sometimes a small local company will assist you in reaching your goal. A simple appeal to a public-spirited local firm may inspire a surprisingly 43 donation.Find the appropriate contact person. Address your letter to a real person who is in a position to entitle a donation.

Begin your letter with a vivid and readable description of your organization’s work, and highlight a recent success story. Continue with a few general 46 to impress the contact person with your organization’s efficiency and effectiveness. Next, describe in full the 47 project or effort for which a donation is needed and who will benefit. Include all contact information, including telephone, fax and email, and end by inviting the person to contact you if any 48 information is needed. Finally, hand on the letter to colleagues for proofreading and suggestions.Keep careful records of donations and send thank-you letters.

This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.50.

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)On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door —“a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Cl arke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the handle on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.65.

The American public overwhelmingly thinks they’re ba d. Yet the agreement among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants’ impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the stress that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There’s some t ruth to all these explanations, but they aren’t quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what’s going on, consider the way immigration’s impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants’ low-cost labor are businesses and employers —meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, these producers’ savings probably translate into lower prices a t the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration has reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9%.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the financial burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that financial burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants’ access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected — say, low-skilled workers, or California residents — the impact isn’t all that dramatic. “The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions,” says Daniel Tichenor, a professor at the University of Oregon. “But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one.” Too bad most people don’t realize it.72. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B. The America n economy used to thrive on immigration but now it’s a different story.C. The agreement among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D. The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.73. What is the chief concern of native high-skilled, better-educated employees about the inflowof immigrants?A. It may change the existing social structure.B. It may pose a threat to their economic status.C. It may decrease .their financial burden.D. It may place a great pressure on the state budget.74. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?A. Even economists can’t reach an agreement about its impact.B. Those who are opposed to it turn out to benefit most from it.C. People are making too big a fuss about something of small impact.D. There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinions.75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A debate about whether to immigrate.B. A debate about the impact of illegal immigrants.C. The great impact of immigrants on the economy.D. Opposition to illegal immigration.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Study in class with high proficiencyB. Provide an overall picture of CAHSEEC. Purchase a CAHSEE test prep book76. ________All California students must pass the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive their high school diploma. The test is first taken in the 10th grade, but retakes are allowed. The CAHSEE consists of two parts: English language arts and mathematics. The contents of the exam are based on the California state curriculum in those subjects. A scale score of 350 in each part is required to pass.77. ________To pass the CAHSEE, concentrate on studying the types of questions asked on the exam, and don’t worry about information that will not be asked. The mathematics section includes statistics, data analysis, probability, number sense, mathematical reasoning, measurement, geometry and grades 6 and 7 algebra. You will also need to know how to work with fractions, decimals and percentages. The English language arts sections covers vocabulary, decoding, comprehension and your ability to read and analyze short passages of text. You will also need to know basic spelling, grammar and punctuation and be able to write a short essay.78. ________You can find CAHSEE practice tests and study guides on the California Department of Education website. To pass the CAHSEE, read these study guides —— they contain information about the contents of the exam. Also take several practice tests. The first time, concentrate only on answering the questions and checking your answers. After this, time yourself so you get practice in completing all the questions in good time. Look up the answers on the answer sheets given with the practice tests and make sure you understand any of the answers you got wrong.79. ________One of the best ways to practice for the CAHSEE is to pay attention in the classroom. Your teachers will teach all of the material you need to know to pass the test. If you listen in class, do your homework and ask your teacher for extra help with anything you are having difficulty in understanding, you will have done most of the work you need to pass the CAHSEE. Another everyday way to study is to read for fun. The more you read, the more comfortable you will be with the English language arts skills you need to demonstrate.80. ________When taking the CAHSEE, remain calm and organized. In the English language section, read the questions and passages carefully and make sure you understand what the question is asking before you try to answer. For the essay, take a few minutes to outline your essay before you start writing. Review your work and correct grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. In the mathematics section, work through the questions on scrap paper rather than trying to do them in your head. The test has no trick questions. If a question seems confusing, read it again and think about how it applies to the subjects you have studied.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Oscar-winning director Ang Lee’s new epic “Life of Pi” reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators（食肉动物） are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people’s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline to 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near the Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.“The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,” grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife fi lmmaker. “The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don’t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to.”India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. “The tiger’s rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go all out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to con flict,” says a wildlife conservationist.Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. “Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. ”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words)81. PETA hopes “Life of Pi” can __________________________________.82.

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——简答宝山区,杨浦区，静安区，青浦区Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Children and adolescents who watch a lot of television are more likely to have antisocial and criminal behavior when they become adults, according to a new University of Otago, New Zealand, study published online in the journal Pediatrics. The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest antisocial behavior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first …real-life‟ study that has asked about TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‟re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The poverty line is the minimum inc ome that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with today‟s relatively high stan dard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.For one thing, more than half of the poor p eople in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. And over 10 percent of the poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, the normal retirement age.Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation(动力),they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers. Some of the poor who are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. If the government spends money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer. Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.Finally, if the government distributes society‟s income differently, it raises some poor people above the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non-poor and gives money to the poor. These payments to the poor are called welfare. In 2010 over 18 million people in the United States received welfare.Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What does the poverty line in a country change with?_______.82. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because _______.83. In order for t he poor to have the skills to offer, the government must invest in _______.84. How do those below the poverty line enjoy the existing welfare from the government?81. The general standard of living82. they are too young or too old (to work)83. social programs, education, and training for poor people84. They receive / get money collected from the rich / non-poor.黄浦区Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs (破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition(军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum(最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain.

Katrina Leupp, a researcher,suggests that rather than trying to do everything themselves,working women should get family members or others to help with the housework and not feel guilty about leaving work early when family duty calls. High earners can follow the lead of actress Anna Friel, who let out her secret to dealing with work and being a mother at the same time ---employing two maids.A researcher from the University of Washington said:”Employment is beneficial for women”s health,even when differences in marital(婚姻的) satisfaction and working full-or part-time are ruled out .” But the analysis also found that not all working mothers are equally happy. The women with “supermum” attitudes as young adults showed more signs of depression, the American Sociological Society‟s annual conference stated. Women who try to do it all without any help are more likely to feel they are failures when things do not go to plan. Very often they may be drowned in tiredness. Lack of any”me time” could also be an issue. However, she stressed that working women--- including super mums --- generally still a lower risk of depression than stay-at-home mothers, adding:”But for better mental health, working mums should accept that they can‟t do it all.”Pam Spurr, a life coach and mother-of-two,said working women don‟t have to feel ashamed to take a career break when they have kids to take care of or cut back on time in the office.

Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the mainlanguage of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81.

The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season‟s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. Italso requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin‟s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolut ely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won‟t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don‟t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers‟characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81.

However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures.

An effective, professional donation-request letter is a necessary tool for fund-raising. Researching possible donors and 41 a database of names and organizations is one key to success, but the ability to write a donation-request letter has an even greater impact on successful fund-raising. The following are some tips/instructions.Research potential donors via the Internet. Research small companies in 42 to large foundations. Sometimes a small local company will assist you in reaching your goal. A simple appeal to a public-spirited local firm may inspire a surprisingly 43 donation.Find the appropriate contact person. Address your letter to a real person who is in a position to entitle a donation. Beginning your letter with “To Whom It May Concern” or “Dear Country Market” stands little 44 of attracting the attention of the right staff member.And then, 45 the letter properly. Begin your letter with a vivid and readable description of your organization’s work, and highlight a recent success story. Continue with a few general 46 to impress the contact person with your organization’s efficiency and effectiveness. Next, describe in full the 47 project or effort for which a donation is needed and who will benefit. Include all contact information, including telephone, fax and email, and end by inviting the person to contact you ifany 48 information is needed. Finally, hand on the letter to colleagues for proofreading and suggestions.Keep careful records of donations and send thank-you letters. Donors often are willing to 49 again if they are shown how their contribution was put to use. Follow-up letters can assist in this effort.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASigns can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp （流浪汉）has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to inform their 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , f or the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.50.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door —“a master key” perhaps. So she stayed at home the fo llowing Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly towards the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the handle on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.65.

The American public overwhelmingly thinks they’re bad. Yet the agreement among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants’ impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the stress that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. The re’s some truth to all these explanations, but they aren’t quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what’s going on, consider the way immigration’s impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants’ low-cost labor are businesses and employers —meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, these producers’ savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffermost from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration has reduced the wages of American high-school dropouts by 9%.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the financial burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that financial burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants’ access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected — say, low-skilled workers, or California residents —the impact isn’t all that dramatic. “The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions,” says Daniel Tichenor, a professor at the University of Oregon. “But when all those factors are put together and the econo mists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one.” Too bad most people don’t realize it.72. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzlingeconomists.B. The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it’s a different story.C. The agreement among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D.

The test is first taken in the 10th grade, but retakes are allowed. The CAHSEE consists of two parts: English language arts and mathematics. The contents of the exam are based on the California state curriculum in those subjects. A scale score of 350 in each part is required to pass.77. ________To pass the CAHSEE, concentrate on studying the types of questions asked on the exam, and don’t worry about information that will not be asked. The mathematics section includes statistics, data analysis, probability, number sense, mathematical reasoning, measurement, geometry and grades 6 and 7 algebra. You will also need to know how to work with fractions, decimals and percentages. The English language arts sections covers vocabulary, decoding, comprehension and your ability to read and analyze short passages of text. You will also need to know basic spelling, grammar and punctuation and be able to write a short essay.78. ________You can find CAHSEE practice tests and study guides on the California Department of Education website. To pass the CAHSEE, read these study guides —— they contain information about the contents of the exam. Also take several practice tests. The first time, concentrate only on answering the questions and checking your answers. After this, time yourself so you get practice in completing all the questions in good time. Look up the answers on the answer sheets given with the practice tests and make sure you understand any of the answers you got wrong.79. ________One of the best ways to practice for the CAHSEE is to pay attention in the classroom. Your teachers will teach all of the material you need to know to pass the test. If youlisten in class, do your homework and ask your teacher for extra help with anything you are having difficulty in understanding, you will have done most of the work you need to pass the CAHSEE. Another everyday way to study is to read for fun. The more you read, the more comfortable you will be with the English language arts skills you need to demonstrate.80. ________When taking the CAHSEE, remain calm and organized. In the English language section, read the questions and passages carefully and make sure you understand what the question is asking before you try to answer. For the essay, take a few minutes to outline your essay before you start writing. Review your work and correct grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. In the mathematics section, work through the questions on scrap paper rather than trying to do them in your head. The test has no trick questions. If a question seems confusing, read it again and think about how it applies to the subjects you have studied.Section DOscar-winning director Ang Lee’s new epic “Life of Pi” reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators（食肉动物） are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people’s attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline to 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near the Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.“The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,” grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. “The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don’t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to.”India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. “The tiger’s rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go all out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict,” says a wildlife conservationist.Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerou s animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. “Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. ”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words)81. PETA hopes “Life of Pi” can __________________________________.82.
