Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain ____31____.You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s ____32____.The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ____33____ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together. To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ____36____ circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ____37____ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central ____38____ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ____39____.Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ____40____ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ____41____ periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their ____42____ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For ____43____,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek____44____outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also ____45____ a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an ____46____ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of ____47____ for prospective visitors ------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or ____48____ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ____49____ the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ____50____, “We should be asking how we get tourists to ____51____,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) ____52____ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint.____53____ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and ____54____ to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more ____55____ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

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)I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it,but I believe that I should do it.So several times a day, while working in our emergency department,I leave my patient’s bedside,get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up,before continuing on my day. Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket.To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort,both physical and emotional.It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient.It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of.This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient. Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer.The short story is that I broke my femur(大腿骨),the large bone in my thigh,and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so.The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein.He would ask about my pain and my mental state,but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited.I felt that he cared about me and,more importantly,understood what I was going through.He connected with me,and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is,in the end,a check and balance for me.I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments.I strive to always be right(or at least neverwrong).And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.56. According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?A. It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.B. It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.C. It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.D. It helps communicate his care towards his patients.57. The author mentioned his own experience as a patient,which of the following is NOT hisintention?A. Showing his gratitude for the surgeonB. Demonstrating his action of giving blanketsC. Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patientsD. Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors58. What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?A. The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing themblankets.B. A good physician should understand patient’s needs.C. It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.D. The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.59. The passage is manly about __________.A. emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patientsB. emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patientsC. emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heartD. emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship(B)MT.LEBANON ICE CENTER *900 CEDAR BOULEV ARD*PITTSBURGH,PA 15228(412)561-4363 WHO: Skaters of all ages and abilities.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B. AMRs could deliver nuclear at lower costs and reduce risks.C. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.D. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64. In paragraph 4,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the U.S. to __________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concernB. show the biggest obstacle to nuclear research today is the budgetC. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speedD. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Nuclear power has an important impact on the country’s future energy structure.B. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D. Costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large unclear reactors.66. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successSection 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.New Paint Resists Oil and WaterHaving an automobile can be costly. In addition to paying for fuel, the owner of a car should set aside money for an insurance policy to guard against possible damage or loss. The owner also has to pay for normal repairs, like an oil change, and other work.Another cost is cleaning.(67)__________ Who would not want a car that is always clean because drops of water and oil just roll off? Now, scientists say it may not be too long before self-cleaning paints become more common in may industries.It has been long known that rainwater slides off the leaves of some plants without leaving a mark. Soon, the same may be true for raindrops on your car.Scientists can now reproduce that quality, or property, of tropical plants like the taro and lotus. Researchers are able to do this because of developments in nanophysics: the studies of very small particles.Yao Lu is a researcher from China’s Dalian University of Technology. He currently works at University College London. He used titanium dioxide nanoparticles to create a new kind of water-repellent (防水的) paint.(68)__________Up until now, the biggest problem with water-repellent paints was their vulnerability to mechanical damage.(69)__________This was solved with a special adhesive or glue that sticks to the titanium dioxide nanoparticles. “Applying this spray adhesive, we’ve managed to get very resistant coatings that are resistant to, as I say, rubbing or scratching and with sandpaper and so on.”The new kind of paint can be used on a number of materials, from clothing and paper to steel and glass.(70)__________They predict this product could be used in a number of areas, including auto manufacturing and even hospitals.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives. There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第II卷（共40分）V.

Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, it is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views.In 1513, while looking for the storied Fountain of Youth, explorer Juan Ponce de leon found this land and claimed it for Spain Then, in 1563, a Spanish conqueror established a settlement here and named it St, Augustine. Except for a 20-year period of English rule, Florida remained underSpanish rule until the united States took control in 182 I.In the years after its founding, the city St. Augustine was attacked by the French and English, and by Native Americans, who are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city's defensive building, setting it on fire. More recently, nature has stricken the region with successive hurricanes--- Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017. Still, St. Augustine endures. As the region recovers, visitors shouldn't overlook it.St. Augustine has suffered much in its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come and perhaps support the Florida coast's recovery while discovering its centuries of history and miles of coastal beauty .11. Which country first governed Florida in history?12 Which of the following statements is true about St, Augustine?13 What is the passage mainly about?Passage 2:Transport for London has a lost property office which collects the items left behind as people flow through the city's transport system each day. It is the biggest lost property office in Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo's. Sixty-five staff sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which is run by Paul Cowan. According to the latest data, Cowan's team dealt with over three hundred thousand items in the first quarter of the year. As the data reveals, very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly 13, 000 keys handed into lost property last year, just under I, 400 were returned to their owners, says Cowan. Overall, twenty percent of stock is claimed within three month. After that time, stock becomes the property of transport for London, and it's not necessarily the items you'd expect, A wander through the three-basement floor that make up the lost property office gives us an idea of what we value enough to recover and what we're happy to let go. Cowan has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said, if you have one shoe, you are more likely to go looking for the other. If you lose two shoes. well. it's slightly out of sight. out of mind. He guesses many people regard loss as an opportunity t0 treat themselves to something new.14.What is the passage main about?15. Which of the following is true of the lost item?16. According to Cowan, why don't some people get their lost shoes back?完形填空When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, they don't drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates. Rather, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or talking about books.They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into adulthood. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of adolescents in the U,S. who have a driver's license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous decreases in the past decade.The declines appeared across race. Geographic and socioeconomic lines, and in rural,urban, and suburban areas.To be sure. more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the majorities have slimmed considerably. Between 1976 and 1979, 86 percent of high school seniors had gone on a date: between 2010 and 2015 only 63 percent had, the study found."People say, 'Oh, it's because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring' but they re missing the larger trend," said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less interested in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today's society they no longer need to.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's "life strategy" slows down or speeds up depending on his or her surroundings exposure to a "harsh and unpredictable" environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has the opposite effect, the study said. In the first scenario. "You'd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode. start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more diseases and fewer resources," said Twenge, a psychology professor at SanDiego State University who is the author of "iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious. More Tolerant. Less Happy--and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood."A century ago, when life expectancy was lower and college education less prevalent, "the goal back then was survival, not violin lessons by 5." Twenge said.In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more seriously about marriage. and driving a car and working for pay would be important for "establishing mate value based on procurement of resources," the study said.But America is shifting more toward the slower model, and the change is apparent across-the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. "Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education... families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully nurtured has really sunk in."The postponement of"adult activities" could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurricular as they did in the 1990s (with the exception of community service. which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smart phones and the Internet be entirely the cause, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available.部分填词: rather/ adulthood/ decreases/ options/ majorities/ missing/ interested in/surrounded/ opposite/ case/ diseases/ seriously/ carefully/ slower/ educated/ postponement/ cause阅读理解AApparently. the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank -- or a specific country -- is appealing to many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and bartering w as common (In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like the Buy Nothing Project)In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there. So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring hybrid of gold and silver called electrum, objects other than coins have served as currency,including beads, ivory. livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa. bracelets of bronze or copper were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there.Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used in lieu of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively throughout Europe and the U.K.Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency - and some people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination.On Malaita, the most-populated island that's part of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods"How much tuna you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape." Mary Bruno,a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita, told Vice.e "One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but the red ones are worth more. For the red ones,one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time."Just like a mint that creates coins, there's only one place on the island where the shells,which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. (You can see how that works in the video above.) The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from LangaLanga Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling cannibals. Once marooned out on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born.Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s, but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like cryptocurrencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. 1t might seem strange to hoard a bunch of processed, strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? Just a specially printed piece of paper and hemp that we' ve assigned value to and probably less durable over time than those shells.BHow do you move a giant Sequoia?Boise, Idaho, recently relocated a century-old, living tree provided by John Muir.Inhabitants of Boise, Idaho, watched with trepidation earlier this year as the city's oldest, tallest resident moved two blocks. The l05-year-old sequoia tree serves as a local landmark, not only for its longevity but also because renowned naturalist and Sienra Club co-founder John Muir provided the original seedling. So, when Saint Luke's Health System found that the 10-story-tallconifer stood in the way of its planned hospital expansion, officials called tree-moving firm Environmental Design.The Texas-based company has developed and patented scooping and lifting technology to move massive trees. Weighing in at more than 800,000 pounds, the Boise sequoia is its largest undertaking yet. “I had lost enough sleep over this," says David Cox, the company's Western region vice president- and that was before the hospital mentioned the tree's distinguished origin.Before the heavy lifting began, the team assessed the root system and dug a five-foot-deep cylinder, measuring 40 feet in diameter, around the trunk to protect all essential roots, After encapsulating the root ball in wire mesh, the movers allowed the tree to acclimate to its new situation for seven months before relocating it. The illustration details what followed.CThe budget line is an elementary concept that most consumers understand intuitively without a need for graphs and equations -- it's the household budget, for example.Taken informally, the budget line describes the boundary of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.One of the interesting ways the study of economics relates to human behavior generally is that a lot of economic theory is the formalization of the kind of simple concept outlined above --a consumer's informal understanding of the amount she has to spend and what that amount will buy.In the process of formalization, the concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation that can be applied generally.To understand this, think of a graph where the vertical lines quantify how many movie tickets you can buy and where the horizontal lines do the same for crime novels. You like going to the movies and reading crime novels and you have $150 to spend. In the example below, assume that each movie costs $ 10 and each crime novel costs $15. The more formal economics term for these two items is budget set.If movies cost $10 each, then the maximum number of movies you can see with the money available is 15. To note this you make a dot at the number 15 (for total movie tickets) at the extreme left-hand side of the chart. This same dot appears at the extreme left above "O" on the horizontal axis because you have no money left for books -- the number of books available in this example is 0.You can also graph the other extreme -- all crime novels and no movies. Since crime novels in the example cost $15 and you have $150 available, if you spend all the available money crime novels, you can buy 10. So you put a dot on the horizontal axis at the number 10.You'll place the dot at the bottom of the vertical axis because in this instance you have $0available for movie tickets.If you now draw a line from the highest, leftmost dot to the lowest, rightmost dot you'll have created a budget line. Any combination of movies and crime novels that falls below the budget line is affordable. Any combination above it is not.六选四文章网址；/Magazine_articles%3A_More_valuable_than_you_may_think.html 翻译部分：1. 他们中的哪一个可能做过排球教练?参考译文：Who may have been a volleyball coach among them?2.我看到他换上徒步鞋，走向了草坪。

However, as we grow 33 to the technology, we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it. Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk (乱穿马路). In the United State, more than half of all adults are in a facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Governments, however, are not the only users of facial recognition.

Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers. The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also also help help help writers writers writers develop develop develop specific specific specific moments moments moments within within within their their their stories. stories. stories. Although Although Although writing writing writing a a a means means means of of expression, not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions.

Food, especially livestock, also lakes up a lot of room D. In developed countries, vegetarianism would bring all sorts of environmental and health benefits. E. No matter how much their carnivorous friends might deny it, vegetarians have a point: cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits. F. Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land, this would more than make up for the loss of meat. What would happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian? People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to make animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce reduce greenhouse greenhouse greenhouse gas gas gas emissions. emissions. 67 And And the the the more more more who who who make make make the the the switch, switch, switch, the the the more more more those those perks would manifest on a global scale.

The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do th e same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 3 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 4 outside of the city centre on its official web site. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 5 a better way, it is called “detourism”: su stainable travel tips an 6 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 7 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 8 short breaks away in the first place.

If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of €40 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 12 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 13 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 14 to less crowded parts of the city ------ all productive steps towards more 15 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents. 1．A ．longerB ．shorterC ．widerD ．clearer 2．A ．environmental B ．national C ．economic D ．geographic 3．A ．locals B ．tourists C ．visitors D ．cleaners 4．A ．transports B ．accommodation C ．restaurants D ．service 5．A ．addresses B ．paves C ．proposes D ．receives 6．A ．separate B ．individual C ．alternative D ．objective 7．A ．reform B ．guidance C ．invitation D ．support 8．A ．convincing B ．discouraging C ．preventing D ．resisting 9．A ．pace B ．escape C ．withstand D ．ease 10．A ．culture B ．knowledge C ．entertainment D ．ability 11．A ．take over B ．bring up C ．come back D ．lay off 12．A ．distinction B ．harmony C ．association D ．comparison 13．A ．French B ．Italian C ．Spanish D ．German 14．A ．carry out B ．give into C ．spread out D ．impact on 15．A ．slight B ．complexC ．temporaryD ．sustainable二、阅读理解MTLEDANON ICE CENTER *900 CEDAR BOULEV ARD* PITTSBURGH,PA 15228(412)561-4363 WHO: Skaters of all ages and abilities.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modularmanufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim St one, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement wi th EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.19．Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)? A．AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB．Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC．So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD．Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs试卷第10页，总10页20．In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________. A ．prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B ．show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C ．indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D ．point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology. 21．What can be inferred from the passage?A ．Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB ．The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C ．The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD ．a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors. 22．Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage? A ．Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights on B ．Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactors C ．Nuclear’s share of power generation remai n stead D ．Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success第II卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II卷的文字说明三、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 33．. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 34．. The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 35． adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 36． with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 37． everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy -based living for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 38． circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 39． problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 40． of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 41．. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 42． shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps. 五、概要写作43．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________试卷第10页，总10页________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、汉译英Translation: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.44．究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性？(motivate) 45．网上支付方便了客户，但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 12 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 13 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 14 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 15 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics andtogether.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 16 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 17 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society te lling them: We don’t need you.

In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 19 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal.

It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A22019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 21 periods.The rise of “city breaks” --48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 22 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 23 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 24 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 25 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 26 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 27 for prospective visitors ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 28 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 29 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 30 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 31 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of €40 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 32 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 33 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 34 to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps32019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)towards more 35 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.21.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning —and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In Western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the co untry’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.62019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.39. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs40. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.41. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD. a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.42. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successⅣ. Summary writing43. Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.72019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect._____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共40分）Ⅴ.

Section A（15分）
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.
More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.
The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people d o the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”
This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to ease congestion.”
But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.
A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ---- ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center----can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”
Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”
Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’”
He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to
take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, an 54 to less crowded parts of the city---all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.
