2024学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷高三英语试卷(考试时间105分钟满分115分) 2024. 12I. 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.Pioneers in artificial intelligence win the Nobel Prize in physicsThe 2024 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to JohnHopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They are known for theirfundamental discoveries in machine learning, ___1___paved theway for how artificial intelligence is used today.Machine learning differs from traditional software. The softwarereceives data, which is processed according to a“clear description, and___2___(produce)the results. In machine learning, the computer learns by example, enabling it to tackle problems that are too complicated ___3___(manage)by step-by-step instructions.Hinton and Hopfield___4___(credit)with using tools from physics to advance basic research in the field. In 1982, Hopfield developed a model of neural(神经的)networks, today known as the Hopfield network, to describe how the brain recalls memories when___5___(feed)partial information, similar to the method your brain uses to remember a word on the tip of your tongue.Geoff Hinton and colleagues further developed the Hopfield network. To do that, Hinton used statistical physics, based on an equation invented by the nineteenth century physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, creating a "Boltzmann machine. "It can learn—not from instructions, but from ___ 6___(give)examples. A trained Boltzmann machine can recognize familiar traits(特质)in information it has not previously seen. Imagine meeting a friend's brother or sister, and you can immediately see that they___7___be related. In a similar way, the Boltzmann machine can recognize an entirely new example___8___it belongs to a category found in the training material.Hinton has also urged caution around the technology. Hinton quit his job as a vice president last year at a tech giant. He said he left because he wanted to be able to share his concerns about the risks of artificial intelligence without worrying___9___it would mean for his employer. "One of the ways in which these systems might escape control is by writing their own computer code to modify ___ 10___, ”Hinton said in a 2023interview. "That's something we need to seriously worry about. "Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedA hacker' s lifeHave you ever locked yourself out of your home and had to try to break in?First, you get a sense of___11___in succeeding. But then comes the worrying realization that if you can break into your own place as a(n)___12___, a professional could do so five times faster. So you look at the weak point in your security and fix it. Well, that's more or less how the DefCon hackers conference works.Every year passionate hackers meet at DefCon in Las Vegas to___13___ their knowledge and capabilities. Mention the word 'hacker'and many of us ___14___a seventeen-year-old geek(怪人)sitting in their bedroom, illegally hacking into the US's defence secrets in the Pentagon(五角大楼). Or we just think 'criminals'. But that is actually a misrepresentation of what most hackers do.The activities and experiments that take place at DefCon have an enormous impact on our daily lives. These are people who love the challenge of finding security gaps: computer ___15___ who can't break the habit. They look with great care at all kinds of systems, from the Internet to mobile communications to ___16___ door locks. And then they try to hack them. In doing so, they are doing all of us a great service, because they pass on their findings to the industries that design the systems, which are then able to___17___ the security holes.A typical example of this is when I attended a presentation on electronic door locks. Ironically, one of the most secure locks they demonstrated was a 4, 000-year-old Egyptian lock. But when it came to more modern devices, the presenters revealed ___18___ weaknesses in several brands of electro-mechanical locks. A bio-lock that uses a fingerprint scan for entry was___19___ , easily, by a paper clip. (Unfortunately, although all the manufacturers of the insecure locks were ___20____, not all of them responded. )II. 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.When is anger justified?Anger is a complicated emotion. But is it ever morally right to be angry?And if so, when?One of the most foundational understandings of ___21___ comes from the Greek philosopher Aristotle. In his model, there's a sweet spot for our actions and emotional reactions, and it's up to you to develop practical wisdom about when you should feel what and how strongly to feel it.___22___ , let's say you're going to sleep early because you have an important meetingtomorrow and your neighbor just started playing loud music. If you can't sleep, you might ruin your meeting, so feeling angry is definitely ___23___ . But how much anger should you feel?And what actions, if any, should you take?To answer these questions, Aristotle would need to know more details. Have you ___24___ talked to your neighbor about this issue?Is it a reasonable time to be playing music?Is your neighbor trying to___25___ you, or are they just enjoying their evening?Relying on practical wisdom in Aristotle's case-by-case approach makes a lot of sense for handling 26 conflicts. But what about when there's no one to___27___for your anger?Imagine a tornado completely destroys your house while your neighbor's home is___28___. No amount of anger can undo the disaster, and there isn't really a suitable 29for your frustration.Although it's hard for us to control our anger, there might be something we can learn from it. Philosopher PF Strawson's theory suggests that experiencing anger is a natural part of human psychology that helps us communicate blame and hold each other 30, In this model, anger can___be an important part of letting us know when something immoral is happening, so ___31___ it would harm our social lives and moral communities. But finding the right response to those psychological alarm bells can be 32_. For instance, if you were supervising cruel, disrespectful young children, it might be natural to feel anger, but it would be___33___to treat their moral mistakes like those of adults.So when should you ___34___ anger?And can it ever help change things for the better?Let's imagine your community is experiencing serious health issues because a nearby factory is ___35___polluting the water supply. In unjust situations like this, it could be a moral mistake to suppress(压制)your anger, instead of channeling it into positive action.21, A. motion B. passion C. urge D. anger22. A. In conclusion B.

A. illegally B. remotely C. steadily D. inevitably Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Caroline Robbins knew that the first day of school was very, very important. Why?Because that was the day when you chose where you would sit for the entire year. Caroline realized that in some classes this choice would be made for her. The teacher would place students in alphaberical(按字母顺序的)order, meaning she would have to sit in front of Zach Rodgers yet again. Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback.In her other classes, though, Caroline would be sure to choose just the right seat. Caroline liked to think of herself as one of the cool kids, but she also did well in school and liked learning. So, Caroline wanted to sit close to the cool kids, but not too close, or she would be more interested in talking than paying attention. She also knew that it was good to be friends with the smart kids, because they could help Caroline with her schoolwork. However, she didn't want to sit too close to the smart kids. Unfortunately, at Caroline's school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids.Caroline had all of this in mind as she walked through the school's front door on the first day. She knew where her first class was, but she didn't want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn't have any control at all!Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn't seen for the entire summer.At last, she walked through the door of her first class, and there it was, the perfect seat!Two seats away from Jasmine, the smartest girl in her entire grade, and just in front of Marc, who was very cool and totally cute.There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be?So Caroline started toward the seat, being careful not to rush, when Marc's best friend Jason sat down in her chair!Sure, there were other seats, but no other perfect ones. Saddened but not discouraged, Caroline sat down in the second-best seat and immediately started planning for lunchtime, when she was determined to get the best seat in the cafeteria.36. As used in paragraph 1, the word“drawback”most nearly means“_____”A. disadvantageB. benefitC. virtueD. withdrawal37. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A. Caroline was often seen as a cool kid, not a smart kid.B. Caroline wanted to be the only smart kid in her school.C. If Caroline was seen as a smart kid, no one would think she was cool.D. Caroline's school was unusual in that smart kids were also cool.38. According to the passage, Caroline makes sure not to get to class too Early by____.A. taking time to fix her hairB. going to the wrong classC. waiting outside the school gateD. stopping to talk to her friend39. How did Caroline feel about the new guy sitting next to her desired seat?A. She was thrilled to have a new friend to sit next to.B. She was concerned he might be a disturbance.C. She was relieved that he didn't take the perfect seat.D. She was disappointed because he didn't look cool.(B)From the time human beings began to draw them, maps have helped people find their way around their environments. But maps can show us many things, not just which direction to go. They show the path of history, the earth's shape development of mathematics, and the progress of technology.One of the oldest-known land maps is an almost 1, 600-year-old tablet from Southwest Asia. The map shows a circle of land that is divided by a river and surrounded by ocean. Triangles on the map indicate eight different regions. And the map's text describes legendary beasts and heroes that were important to the ancient people of the area. Around AD 150, a Greek scientist drew north-south and east-west lines on a map. This addition applies mathematics to mapping and was an early attempt to show the earth's shape on a flat piece of paper. Maps gradually became much more detailed as new regions were explored and put down on paper. Also, mathematical and astronomical advances helped to perfect the world map to what we know and love today!Now that you know a little about the early history of maps, lets learn some fun facts.East at the TopThese days, most maps feature north at the top. However, during the Middle Ages, most maps had east a the top. This was done to point in the direction of the morning sun.Puzzle MapsWhen printed maps became available to the general population in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not everyone could understand them. In fact, the first jigsaw puzzles(拼图游戏)were designed as practice maps for Eighteenth-century geography classes!Fake PlacesMapmakers need to make sure that their work is not copied by others. To protect their work, many mapmakers add made-up towns or streets to their maps. Only the original mapmaker would know about the fake entry.Modern TechnologyToday, digital maps and GPS technology have revolutionized the way we explore our world. With the touch of a screen, we can see our exact location, plan routes, and even view real-time traffic updates.40. Which of the followingpictures best shows themodern form of the Greek scientist's addition to the map?41. Fake towns or streets were often added to maps_________ .A. so that it would be clear if someone copied the mapB. to make the maps less boring and more accurateC. as a tricky challenge for people to take onD. to help people practice how to read complicated maps42. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show the development of mapping technology.B. To explain the importance of maps throughout history.C. To introduce the history of maps and some interesting facts.D. To teach some map-making tricks and techniques.(C)Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies—and Earth's magneric(磁的)field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth's field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy.Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate(导航), partly because the animals aren't so easy to work with. It's one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything.Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnet head sharks—a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers—off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked(模仿)Earth's natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes.They used software to track the sharks' responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or "home', they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if trying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS.Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn't favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don't go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior, "he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because "they've never been up there. "says Keller.Keller's research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology. Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces.43. Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth's field?A. Sharks are too hard to follow and observe.B. Sharks are not sensitive to magnetic fields.C. Sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting.D. Sharks are on the list of endangered species.44. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don't favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field?A. They don't like the climate in the northB. They've never been to the north of their home before.C. They learned to do so when they were young.D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough.45. From the passage, we can infer that Keller's research is significant because it_______.A. provides anew method for capturing sharksB. supports the idea that sharks' migration patterns are randomC. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biologyD. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing46. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Sharks use Earth's magnetic field to find their way on seas.B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs.C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change.D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.The power of placebo(安慰剂)Have you ever taken a pill for a headache and felt instant relief even though there's no way the medicine could have taken effect so quickly?If so, you've personally experienced a medical phenomenon known as the placebo effect. ______47______In the above situation regarding your headache, the active ingredient(成分)couldn't have been responsible for your reduced pain. So why did the symptoms improve?Scientists don't completely understand the mechanisms behind the effect, but they have determined that an individual's conditioning and expectations likely play a major role. With your headache, for example, you expected the painkiller to work because pills have relieved your headaches in the past. ______48_______In fact, the latter means a placebo can still work even when someone knows it's not real medicine!Other factors that can influence how well a treatment works include being told it's effective by a doctor, your doctor's body language or tone of voice, and the knowledge that you're taking action to solve the problem.______49______If you believe a drug will be ineffective at relieving your symptoms, for instance, it is less likely to work. Even worse, if you expect to suffer side effects from your medication, you probably will. This puts doctors in a tricky position—they're required by law to inform patients of risks, yet doing so could negatively affect recovery. The best way to avoid this undesirable effect, according to some experts, is for doctors to phrase dangers in the most encouraging way possible or ask people if they're willing to remain unaware of minor side effects.The power of the placebo effect opens up an exciting opportunity to explore new avenues. Though we may not fully grasp how the placebo effects work, one thing is clear: our minds have an amazing ability to shape not only our thoughts but also our physical health. ______ 50______Ⅲ. 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.51.Why we hate phone callsSuddenly a sound rings out, stopping you in your tracks. Panicking, you search for where it could be coming from. It's your phone, and if you're like a quarter of 18 to 30-year-olds in a recent British study, you probably won't answer it. The same study found that 70%of the people in this age group prefer text messages to phone calls. Why do so many young people hate phonecalls?While previous generations grew up using landlines to talk to their friends smartphone-equipped younger people have grown up used to using text messages for social conversations. There's less pressure with texting. You can read and respond to messages on your own schedule, and you can take time to think about what you want to say rather than being put on the spot during a phone call. Besides, when you can craft a reply free of interruption, you have greater control over your contributions to a conversation. Communication like phone calls can lead people to feel a loss of control and the corresponding anxiety. Many young people report associating phone calls, particularly those without prior warning, with bad news.This means that new social codes are being established. Many people will now text someone to see if they're available to take a phone call. If someone doesn't feel able to sum something up in a few short messages, they might leave a long voice note.But this doesn't mean that anxiety around communication has been stopped. Evidence suggests that texting can also cause anxiety. Many times, texting anxiety comes from frustration, fear, and worry over the reactions of other people. For instance, a short response to your long message might be interpreted as a cold shrug and many people report tensions from being "left on read"—when you know someone has read your message, but they don't, or won't, reply.IV. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.52. 房间里堆满了主人从世界各地收来的古董。

Some of the effects of large-scale drinking are really shocking. Around the world today, alcohol is responsible for 20% of the deaths in the 15 to 49 age group.The variety of ways in which alcohol can kill or damage people comes as a shock.

It is the trade-off between cancer and heart disease (24) ______ leads the researchers to reject the notion that moderate drinking has health benefits they find that the increased risk of cancers outweighs the diminished risk of heart disease among middle aged moderate drinkers.Perhaps (25) ______(surprising) single finding is that two-thirds of the world’s population don’t drink at all.

When Goodall was about two years old, her mother gave her a toy chimpanzee, which Goodall still possesses to this day. She was a good student, but she had more interest in being outdoors and learning about animals. Once she spent five hours in a hen-house so she could see how a hen lays an egg. She loved animals so much that by the time she was ten or eleven she dreamed of living with animals in Africa. Her mother encouraged Goodall’s dream, which eventually became a reality.When Goodall was eighteen she completed secondary school and began working. She worked as a secretary, as an assistant editor in a film studio, and as a waitress, trying to saveenough money to make her first trip to Africa.Jane Goodall finally went to Africa when she was twenty-three years old. In 1957 she sailed to Mombasa on the east African coast, where she met anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey (1903-1972), who would become her mentor, or teacher. In Africa, Leakey and his wife, Mary, had discovered what were then the oldest known human remains. These discoveries supported Leakey’s claim that the origins of the human species were in Africa, not in Asia or Europe as many had believed.Leakey hoped that studies of the primate (灵长目动物的) species most closely related to human beings chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans-would shed (散发) light on the behavior of the human animal’s ancestors. He chose Goodall for this work because he believed that as a woman she would be more patient and careful than a male observer and that as someone with little formal training she would be more likely to describe what she saw rather than what she thought she should be seeing.Later Goodall turned her attention to the problem of captive(被囚禁的) chimpanzees. Because they closely resemble humans, chimpanzees have been widely used as laboratory animals to study human diseases. Goodall used her knowledge and fame to work to set limits on the number of animals used in such experiments and to convince researchers to improve the conditions under which the animals were kept. She also worked to improve conditions for zoo animals and for conservation of chimpanzee habitats. In 1986 she helped found the Committee for the Conservation and Care of Chimpanzees, an organization dedicated to these issues. She has even written children’s books, The Chimpanzee Family Book and With Love, on the subject of treating animals kindly.For her efforts Goodall has received many awards and honors. In 2000 she accepted the third Gandhi/King award for Non Violence at the United Nations. She does not spend much time in Africa anymore; rather, she gives speeches throughout the world and spends as many as three hundred days a year traveling.56. What is Jane Goodall’s major achievements?A. Her books for children to learn about nature.B. Her observation of how the hen lay an egg.C. Her study of the chimpanzee behavior.D. Her finding of the origins of the human species.57. Where does this passage probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. A biography book.C. A handbook about animal protection.D. A travel brochure.58. Which one is not the reason for Leakey s choosing Goodall as an assistant?A. She would be more patient and careful than a male observer.B. She helped found the Committee for the Conservation and Care of Chimpanzees.C. She was more likely to record what really happens though lacking formal training.D. She had more interest in being outdoors and leaning about animals.59. which of the following is not mentioned about Goodall?A. She went to Africa when she was twenty-three years old.B. She accepted the third Gandhi/King Award for Non Violence.C. Her discoveries supported Leakey’s claim of the origins of the human species.D.

It has and will play an important role in driving economic recovery globally,”said Gong Ke, president of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and executive director of the Chinese Institute for the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development strategies.“While data is an important factor of digital economy, more effort should be made to bridge the digital divide to benefit more user groups. To be specific, we need to improve infrastructure (基础设施) construction and the sharing of computing power from leading companies to smaller ones,” Gong said.He made the remarks at a sub-forum of the fourth Hongqiao International Economic Forum during the ongoing China International Import Expo in Shanghai.Liu Jun, president of Bank of Communications, said that a winner-takes-all phenomenon is happening during the development of the platform-based economy because the country’s digital economy has developed at an unparalleled speed with insufficient supervision over the past decade.“Therefore, it is necessary to break down the existing information barriers to promote the free flow of data. The value of data cannot be maximized if a certain company uses it exclusively. Data from various departments, fields and industries must be fully combined and correlated,” Liu said.China’s digital economy reached $5.4 trillion last year in terms of market size, which grew 9.6 percent year-on-year, the fastest worldwide, said the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology a government think tank.Such rapid development of the digital economy has attracted companies from abroad to participate. They are also expected to explore more new opportunities in the Chinese market.To embrace the trend, Omron Healthcare said it will leverage its technological competence to develop more digital innovations for the Chinese market.The Japanese industrial automation giant displayed a series of digitalized products, including smart healthcare management terminals and glucose (葡萄糖) meters at the ongoing expo.“The rapid growth of Chinas trade, including digital trade, has produced a strong spillover effect for the world and it will enable China’s economy to maintain a long-term positive trend and thus make a contribution to global economic growth, said Zhao Yao, general manager of Omron Healthcare China.The CAICT report also pointed out that China and the United States are leading global development of the digital economy. The two economies also ranked first and second in terms of the market size of digital economy last year.63. According to what Gong Ke said we may learn that ______.A. China’s digital economy takes full advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic.B. Global economic recovery will benefit from China’s digital economy the most.C. Despite coviD-19 China s digital economy pushes global economic growth ahead.D. Improving infrastructure construction will benefit Chinese people more from the growth.64. What can be done to break down the barriers on the way to a further development in digital economy?A. All tech companies should be put under stricter supervision.B. It is necessary to stop the free flow of data, which is the existing information barrier.C. To maximize the value of data tends to be applied exclusively.D. Sharing and free flow of data should be guaranteed through efficient supervision.65. What does the underlined word “leverage” mean?A. discoverB. employC. improveD. study66. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. China’s digital economy is now enhancing the world’s economic growth.B. Nothing can block China’s digital economy development but over strict supervision.C. Breaking information barriers with supervision can further China’s digital economy healthily.D. China’s fast development in digital economy attracts more international investments.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

As a result, I’ve forgotten that there’s more to food than this. And I don’t think I’m the only one. (67)______ While it is fantastic that there are so many inspiring books that encourage healthy eating this simply can’t be the extent of our relationship with food. What about our experiences with food? Putting aside the other stuff, what does food mean to you?When I think about my experience with food, my thoughts immediately go to my family. For me, food is family. Every evening, my dad would make it home by 6pm so that we could all sitdown and have dinner together. We would share the highs and lows of our days and on a Sunday we would chat about our plans for the week. We never ate dinner in front of the television and very rarely was it ever just my brother and me. (68) ______ Now, despite the fact my brother and I have long since left home, whenever we return, it’s always about the food. Our parents plan the meals, sharing new recipes and dishing out family favourites, so that ultimately the food enhances our trip and creates new memories. Food truly is family.(69) ______. Children who eat regularly with their families are at a lower risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or substance addictions. It also gives families a chance to reflect on their days together and forges stronger bonds between parents and children.Everyone has a different attitude to food, and it will mean different things to different people. For me, though, good quality, healthy food is important, but without the socio-familial aspect, there is something sorely lacking from my relationship with food. (70) ______. So while I will continue watching what I eat (because I have to), I’ll remember this is not food’s main attraction, but only a part of what food really means to me.Ⅳ.

The first-of-its-kind analysis used online relationships to map the most common problems experienced by couples who told their stories outside the therapist’s office.A team of researchers at Lancaster University helped to produce the report. Charlotte Entwistle, the lead author, said: “Most of what we know comes from studies of people in couples therapy: a specific set of people. We wanted to understand not only what relationship problems are most commonly experienced by the public, but who experiences by the public, but who experiences which problems more.”To bridge the gap the team analysed the characteristics of more than 184,000 people who had posted their problems to an anonymous online forum, and they created a “map” of the most common issues.Communication was the most frequent, cited by nearly one in five people, while one in eight reported that trust was a struggle. The outcomes came as no surprise but the team was taken aback at the obvious gender differences. The theme that kept cropping up was the “heartache” felt, and the team recorded specific words such as “regret”, “break up”,“cry”, and “heart-broken”.Contrary to expectation, men talked about heartbreak significantly more than women. The findings suggest that the stereotype of men being less emotionally invested in relationships may be inaccurate.The researchers also found that men were more likely to seek online professional help.

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.When I was 13, I had a dog called Newton. He was a mix between Australia kelpie and dingo, and spent most of his time in our backyard.He was constantly at the glass sliding doors, longing to go outside; most often because he could see wild pigeons rested proudly on our tall fence. We would try to ignore him until his barking continuously, then we’d let him out.As soon as the door opened he was out like a shot, dashing crazily for the fence, barking until the birds flew off. O f course Newton couldn’t hurt a fly; he was simply showing off his bravery by being able to frighten the birds.Late one afternoon in the summer holiday, as I was heading outside to feed him, I stopped short at the door. There he was, lying lazily in the garden --- surrounded by wild pigeons, enjoying his food sprinkled in the grass.One of them hopped closer and Newton stretched, barely paying any notice to the careless bird.When I opened the door, he looked over at me and panicked, barking at the birds until they flew out of the garden.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What did the wild pigeon always rest?12.What did the writer see before stepping into the garden to feed Newton?13.Why did the dog enjoy barking at the pigeons?14.Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Having telephone conversations in a second language can be very stressful. If you don’tknow what to say, it is very common to feel nervous in any conversation. This is true even when speaking in your native tongue. One of the main reasons people get nervous is that they aren’t prepared and know they might make mistakes during the conversation.To improve confidence on the phone you must learn what to say. The first thing you should do to improve your telephone communication ability is to start out small by learning simple vocabulary and phrases. Start by knowing different greetings. It is so easy when learning English to try to do too much too soon and then get frustrated with not being able to speak as you had imagined. You have to start small, gradually developing skills and slowly working up to something more difficult.Relax and enjoy yourself as well. Everyone knows learning a language can be frustrating! Don’t worry if you make mistakes. Native speakers of English understand that you won’t say everything the exact same way that they would. You shouldn’t feel that you can’t make any mistakes, no one expects you to be perfect.In the following examples on English telephone conversations, we will give many examples of sentences and phrases you should know. From the start until the end of a telephone conversation we will go over everything all the way from greetings to goodbyes. (Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Why do people probably get nervous when having telephone conversation?15.What can help a person obtain confidence on the phone?16.What is the speech going to talk about the next?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Hi. It is good to see you, John.M: Same here, Nancy. It has been a long time since I last saw you.W: Yes, the last time we saw each other was New Year’s Eve. How are you doing?M: I am doing OK. It would be better if I have a new job right now.W: You are looking for a new job? Why?M: I already finished my studies and graduated last week. Now, I want to get a job in theFinance field.Payroll is not exactly Finance.W: How long have you been looking for a new job?M: I just started this week.W: Didn’t you have any interviews with those firms that came to our campus last month? I believe quite a few companies came to recruit students for their Finance departments.M: I could only get one interview with Fidelity Company because of my heavy work schedule.A month has already gone by, and I have not heard from them. I guess I did not make it.W: Don’t worry, John. You always did well in school. I know your good grades will help you get a job soon. Besides, the job market is pretty good right now, and all companies need financial analysts. By the way, did you mail your resume to a lot of companies?M: I have sent it to a dozen companies already. In addition, I do look closely at the employment ads listed in the newspaper every day.W: Are there a lot of openings?M: Quite a few. Some of them require a certain amount of experience and others are willing to train.W: My friends told me that it helps to do some homework before you go to an interview. You need to know the company well—what kind of business is it in? What types of products does it sell? How is it doing lately?M: Yes, I know. I am doing some research on companies that I want to work for. I want to be ready whenever they call me in for an interview.W: Good! It seems that you are well prepared for your job search. I am sure you will find a good job in no time.M: I hope so.W: I need to run; otherwise, I will be late for school. Good luck in your job search, John.M: Thank you for your advice.

Rarely do they expect to find a dead grasshopper.Conservators at the Nelson-Atkins museum of art in Kansas City said theydiscovered the dead insect in one of its star paintings, Vincent van Gogh’s OliveTrees, when it (22)_______ (scan) as part of the research for a catalogue of its French painting collection.It was spotted by Mary Schafer. She told a local broadcaster that she found it in the work’s lower foreground. “(23)_______(look) at the painting with the microscope,I came across the tiny body of a grasshopper covered in the paint, so it (24)_______ have occurred in the wet paint back in 1889.“We can connect it to Van Gogh painting outside, so we think of him battling the elements, dealing with the wind, the bugs, and then he’s got to walk back to his studio through the fields. What’s fun is that we can come up with all t hese stories for (25)_______ the insect landed in the paint.”Schafer said they were curious to know if the grasshopper could be studied (26)_______(far) to possibly identify which season Van Gogh painted Olive Trees.Michael Engel, a professor at the University of Kansas, was approached (27)_______(examine) the grasshopper further. He discovered that part of the insect’s body was missing and there was no sign of movement in the surrounding paint. In other words, it was already dead (28)_______ it somehow landed on the artist’s wet canvas and could not be used for dating purposes.Van Gogh painted Olive Trees in 1889, the year after his falling out with his friend Gauguin, (29)_______ may have led to his famous act of self-mutilation in the history of art: cutting off his own ear.The grasshopper may not help in any art historical research but it has become a talking point for museum visitors, looking closely into the painting to see (30)_______ they can spot the dead insect.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Today, the move toward a cashless society could“reduce the risks of using cash, save on costs and as a matter of convenience, prevent __(32)__ activities such as money laundering(洗钱),” Dong Ximiao, a research fellow at Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times.But China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also __(33)__ the increase of cashless payment. The rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges and __(34)__.Alibaba’s Hema store, where cus tomers can shop, dine and order goods for delivery from their mobile phones, have come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t purchase goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal. A Hema PR representative told the Global Times that all 13 Hema stores in the country do in fact allow consumers to pay in cash. She noted that Hema store simply __(35)__ consumers to pay via Alipay for convenience purposes.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools, also __(36)__ campaigns this month to encourage more merchants and customers to use cashless payment methods. Both called for the establishment of a “cashless society”, which caused __(37)__ over whether cash will soon disappear. Dong __(38)__ that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. “As the economy grows, the __(39)__ of cash is still very huge,” noted Dong.“Also, it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population lives in rural areas, e specially in undeveloped western regions, and therefore is not able to enjoy __(40)__ brought by the Internet,” Dong said. “And when it comes to China’s senior citizens,most of them prefer to use cash in their daily life,” he added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Eating fast food makes people impatient even when they are not short of time, a new study claims.Students in the study became __(41)__ even when shown the logo of burger chain McDonald’s so quickly on screen that they could not __(42)__ it.Researchers say that daily exposure to fast food brands could have a subliminal(潜意识的) effect on __(43)__, making people hurry regardless of whether they are pushed for time. They conclude: “Our experiments suggest that the __(44)__ goal of saving time embedded in fast food may have the unexpected consequence of causing hurrie dness and impatience.”Thinking about fast food increases __(45)__ for time-saving products. “More __(46)__, we found that the mere exposure to fast food symbols reduced people’s willingness to save and led them to prefer immediate __(47)__ over greater f uture return, finally harming their economic interest.”Student volunteers were quickly shown six logos from fast-food chains —McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Subway, Wendy’s and Taco Bell. They could not consciously see what they were but the subliminal effect was __(48)__. Their reading speed was measured before and after seeing the logos and it wassignificantly faster afterwards. Participants also preferred time-saving products like three-in-one skincare treatments rather than __(49)__ versions after seeing the logos. When asked whether they would accept a small sum of money immediately or a larger amount in a week’s time, they again chose __(50)__ reward after being exposed to the brands.Researcher Chen-Bo Zhong, assistant professor of organizational behaviour at Canada’s Toronto University, said: “Fast food represents a culture of time efficiency and immediate __(51)__.” The problem is that the goal of saving time gets activated upon exposure to fast food__(52)__ whether time is a relevant factor in the context. “__(53)__, walking faster is time-efficient when one is trying to make a meeting, but it’s a sign of impatience when one is taking a walk in the park.”“We’re finding that the mere exposure to fast food is __(54)__ a general sense of hurried ness and impatience. When I sit in a fast food restaurant, I find myself gobbling(狼吞虎咽) my Big Mac down at this incredible speed even though there is no __(55)__ at all.”41. A. hungry B. stressful C. anxious D. timid42.

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 theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One of the most inspiring quotes I ever heard was by Brian Tracy. He said: “The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people fail many more times than unsuccessful people.” I pers onally experienced the wisdom of that understanding right after my first book was published. Like many authors, I expected hundreds of bookstore customers lining up for me to sign copies for them. I’m afraid to say, it didn’t quite happen like that.My first signing was arranged at the largest bookstore in the city. Filled with anticipation, I was put into a private signing room in the beautiful store. Despite a nice sign placed outside the room exhibiting images of both me and my book, not a single customer entered the room. As each minute passed, I became increasingly anxious.Do they not like the title? I wondered. Do they not like the book cover? After90 minutes of this torture, I was absolutely distraught.For the four years writing the book, I had felt a sense of mission and purpose like never before in my life. Working a full 8-hour day in my clinic, I had to get into bed by 9:30 pm every day, so I could wake upat 5:30 in the morning and have two hours of writing before heading into my clinic. Before I ever began each writing session, I would close my eyes for 10 minutes and then whisper,“Please grant me the words to touch just one person’s life.”Now, sitting there alone at my first book signing, I wondered if my entire life wasn’t just a big j oke. At that moment, just when I couldn’t feel any worse, a middle-aged couple walked into the room. I managed to hide my emotions and introduced myself and my book. There was something different about the way they were looking at me that I couldn’t quite identify. But I didn't know what else to say. The couple turned to each other, and the husband nodded to his wife. She then told me, “I think we’ll get the book.” My heart began to pound. But I realized the woman was trying to say something else.“The reason we’re buying it,” she said hesitantly, “is because our son committed suicide two years ago. Maybe your story will help us get over it.”At that moment, I knew if I never sold another copy of the book, my four years of writing it had served its purpose. Although I would have many more challenging years until my book caught on and sold well, this couple’s story was all the motivation I needed at that point to keep me moving ahead.

For thousands of years, humans have searched for ways to organize this diversity(多样性). In the eighteenth century, a Swedish professor, physician, and naturalist named Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of naming and classifying organisms that we use today.Linnaeus contributed to the modern classification of organisms in two ways. He first developed a convention for naming life forms.Before Linnaeus came up with a standardized system of naming, there were often many names for a single species, and these names tended to be long and confusing. Linnaeus decided that all species names should be in Latin and should have two parts, one indicating the genus(plural: genera), a group that includes similar species and one indicating the specific name of the species. When written alone, the specific name is meaningless since many different species in different genera have the same specific name. The specific name familiaris, for example, is commonly used to describe species. Therefore, when used by itself, it would not describe any one organism. When the genus is also given, however, as in Canis familiaris, we know that the name refers to a specific organism: the domestic dog.Linnaeus was also the originator of modern taxonomy, a system of classifying nature based on hierarchical(分层的) groupings. Linnaeus first grouped life forms into three broad groups, called kingdoms. These kingdoms were animals, plants, and minerals. He divided each of these kingdoms into classes, classes into orders, orders into genera (genus is singular) and then genera into species, grouping organisms according to shared physical characteristics.Although modern taxonomists still use the hierarchical structure of Linnaeus’s classification system as well as his method of grouping organisms according to observable similarities, they have added hierarchical levels and significantly changed Linna eus’s original groupings. The broadest level of life is now a domain. All living things fit into only three domains. Within each of these domains there are kingdoms. Each kingdom contains phyla (singular is phylum), followed by class, order, family, genus, and species.In addition to the Linnaean kingdoms of plants and animals, biologists recognize prokaryotes, protists, and fungi as separate kingdoms. The prokaryotes are the oldest and most abundant group of organisms. They are also the smallest cellular organisms. Common bacteria, which have been known to survive in many environments that support no other form of life, fall into this category. The protist kingdom is made up of a variety of single-celled or simple multicellular organisms. Protists do not have much in common. They are, essentially, those organisms which do not fit into any other kingdom. Fungi compose a third kingdom. Like plants, the cells of fungi have cell walls, giving them a tube-like structure. However, fungi do not produce their own carbon as plants do. Rather, they acquire nutrients by absorbing and digesting carbon produced by other organisms. Yeasts and mushrooms are examples of fungi.63.The writer gives the scientific name of the domestic dog in paragraph 3 in order to __________.A.d emonstrate Linnaeus’s method of classificationB.introduce the need for a better system of naming organismsC.criticize the complexity of Linnaeus’s naming systemD.illustrate the necessity of including two parts when naming organism64.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A.The hierarchical structure of Linnaeus’s system for classifying is no longer in use.B.Linnaeus’s original system of classification consisted of 3 domains.C.Linnaeus’s original system of classification is used today with lit tle modifications.D.Modern taxonomists have added categories and regrouped organisms.65.Which of the following is TRUE about protists?A.They do not share the characteristics of any of the other four kingdoms.B.They are grouped together based on similar characteristics.C.They are limited to single-cell organisms.D.They acquire nutrients by eating other organisms.66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The Father of Modern TaxonomyB.Classifying OrganismsC.Development in Life FormsD.Li nnaeus’s Classification SystemSection CDirections: Read the following passage.

And more than half of the sales came from millennials — people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. (68)________________According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today’s fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve. “It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.(69)________________ To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “That’s actually quite sad.”(70)________________ According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “It’s just pop culture stuff. It’s stuff that says, ‘I like a little of this and I like a little of that’,” he told ABC News. “It’s no big deal.” So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps it’s time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory(强制的), but growing up is optional.”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.We see it everywhere. A tired parent, at the end of a stressful day, loses it — and a child suffers.We’d like to help if we could, but we hesitate. Is it our business to intervene(干涉)? And if we do, will we embarrass and offend the parent, making him or her even more angry with the child? Isn’t it wiser to walk past without comment? After all, none of us is a perfect parent.There seems to be a common assumption in our society that intervening on behalf of a child in a public place is necessarily hurtful and critical. It needs to be neither. There is a world of difference between hurtful criticism (“How dare you treat your child like that?”) and helpful intervention done in a caring way (“It can be really hard to meet their needs when you’re so busy. Is there anything I can do to help?”) There is nothing essential in intervention that requires one to be offensive.My friends and I have witnessed some really harmful acts: hitting, severe verbal abuse, hurtful comparisons to brothers and sisters, and so on. These children accept this treatment because they are too helpless and inexperienced to stand up for themselves. That emotional abuse(虐待) leaves no outward scars should not excuse us from helping these children. Those of us who can recognize damaging treatment have an obligation to step in.There is one more reason for intervening that is nearly always overlooked in these discussions, but which I consider to be the most significant: the lifelong effect it can have on the child. Many adults in counseling sessions still recall with gratitude the one time that a stranger stepped in on their behalf, and how much it mean t: that someone cared, and that the child’s feelings of anger and frustration were recognized and accepted. These adults have stated to me that this one intervention changed their lives and gave them hope. Are we to bypass the opportunity to make such a big difference in the life of a child?V.
