So when he moved to Rajasthan's Alwar district in 1985, he was interested in curing not just his people, but also the region's ecosystem.Singh noticed that most villagers had left their homes after the local Arvari River had dried up, and the only people who remained were either too old or too poor to move elsewhere. Singh, driven by a strong desire to help the villagers, took on the task of bringing water back to those lands.For two years, Singh worked tirelessly, building johads (rainwater storage tanks built with stone, dirt, or whatever materials are available) and checking dams that didn't result in much success. Local elders laughed at him, but he continued working with enthusiasm. And his enthusiasm proved infectious-seeing he was sincere in wanting to help bring water back to their lands, the locals soon began to give money and offer suggestions on appropriate locations to build more dams and johads.Finally his strategy worked. It wasn't long before the Arvari River came back to life, along with four other rivers. People who had abandoned the districts slowly began to move back home, returning to their traditional way of life.Inspired by his success, Singh runs a non-profit organization called Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS), through which he helps thousands of people solve problems of water shortage. Since the 1980s, TBS has built over 4,500 johads that collect rainwater in 850 villages in 11 districts in India.4. What did Rajendra Singh do after moving to Alwar district?A. He paid attention to its ecosystem.B. He worked hard to be a good farmer.C. He focused on researching into medicine.D. He provided free medical treatment for the poor.5. Why did most villagers leave their homes?A. The living conditions were bad.B. They wanted to realize their dreams.C. They were driven out by floods.D. They needed to earn money to survive.6. Which words can be used to describe Singh?A. Brave and generous.B. Caring and determined.C. Stubborn and tough.D. Creative and broad-minded.7. What can we know about Tarun Bharat Sangh?A. It is funded by the rich local citizens.B. It is founded to support Singh's medical research.C. It enables many villagers to gain easier access to water.D. It calls on all Indians to protect their living environment.【写作训练】请翻译下列句子1. 我常常在年初为每一学科设立目标。

The area is considered important in terms of biodiversity, featuring nearly 35 species of whales and dolphins, 150 types of fish and three of the world’s seven sea turtle species. It is also geologically significant, including the world’s longest chain of underwater volcanoes a nd the second deepest ocean trench, into 10 km underwater —deeper than Mount Everest’s height. The scale of the sanctuary will dwarf (矮化) any previous New Zealand’s protected area, spanning twice the size of the country’s mainland. It will cover 15% of Ne w Zealand’s economic zone.mercial and recreational fishing will be pletely banned, as will oil, gas and mineral prospecting (勘探), exploration and mining. Key’s government aims to pass legislation establishing the sanctuary next year."The sanctuary is a world-class, unspoiled marine environment and New Zealand is proud to protect it for future generations,"Key said."New Zealanders value our coasts and oceans, which are an important part of our culture, economy and environment and we are mitted to managing them sustainably. Creating protected areas will support not only our own fisheries, but those of our Pacific neighbors, adding to New Zealand’s efforts to help grow Pacific economies through the responsible management of their ocean resources."Nick Smith, New Zealand’s environment minister, said the sanctuary might impose a cost upon the mining industry but that it is important to protect the ocean before exploration takes place."New Zealand needs to use its vast ocean resources for jobs and exports in industries like fishing, aquaculture, minerals and energy, but we also need to set aside special areas where nature es first and marine life is fully protected,"Smith said.New Zealand will monitor the area via its navy and satellite technology. The Kermadec region will join three other key areas in the Pacific protected by the US, the UK and Australia.Matt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global Ocean Legacy (遗产) campaign, weled Key’s announcement."New Zealand will create the gold standard of con servation areas in the sanctuary, preserving one of the few relatively unspoiled areas of ocean on Earth,"hesaid."This mitment is an exciting step toward meeting global goals to safeguard at least 30% of the ocean through fully protected marine reserves."1．Why is the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary important in biodiversity?A.It has a superior geographical location.B.It has many different kinds of sea animals.C.Its environment is suitable for the growth of marine life.D.It is the only unspoiled area of ocean remained on Earth.2．Which of the following will Key probably agree on?A.People are allowed to fish for fun in the sanctuary.B.All Pacific countries should be responsible for ocean resources.C.New Zealanders attach great importance to protecting the sanctuary.D.New Zealand has made great achievement in creating protected areas.3．What can we infer from what Nick Smith said?A.New Zealand should develop its marine industry in special areas.B.The Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary may affect New Zealand’s mining industry.C.New Zealand hasn’t figured out how to make full use of its ocean resources.D.Measures should be taken immediately to protect the ocean after explorations.BHave you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone? Can yo u hear the voice saying,"He was a great man."or"She really will be missed."What else do they say?One of the phenomena of life is to engage in a work that will last long after death. Isn’t that a lot like investing all your money so that future generations can get interest on it? Perhaps, yet if you look deep in your own heart, you’ll find something drives you to make this kind of contribution — something drives every human being to find a purpose that lives on after death.Do you hope to memorialize your name? Have a name that is whispered with reverent awe? Do you hope to have your face carved upon 50 feet of granite rock(花岗岩)? Is the answer really that simple? Is the purpose of lifetime contribution an ego-driven desire for a mortal(凡人的) being to have an immortal name or is it something more?A child alive today will die tomorrow. A baby that has the potential to be the next Einstein will die from plications at birth.The circumstances of life are not set in stone. We are not allmeant to live life through to old age. We’ve grown to perceive life as a full cycle with a certain number of years in between. If all of those years aren’t lived out, it’s a tragedy. A tragedy es about because a human’s potential has never been realized. A tragedy es about because a spark was snuffed out before it ever became a flame.By virtue of inhabiting a body we accept these risks. We expose our mortal flesh to the laws of the physical environment around us. The trade-off isn’t so bad when you think about it. The problem es whe n we construct mortal fantasies of what life should be like. When life doesn’t conform to our fantasy we grow upset, frustrated, or depressed.We are alive; let us live. We have the ability to experience; let us experience. We have the ability to learn; let us learn. The meaning of life can be grasped in a moment. A moment so brief that it often evades our perception.What meaning stands behind the dramatic unfolding of life? What single truth can we grasp and hang onto for dear life when all other truths around us seem to fade with time?These moments are strung together in a series we call events. These events are strung together in a series we call life. When we seize the moment and bend it to our will, a will driven by the spirit deep inside us, then we have discovered the meaning of life, a meaning for us that shall go on long after we depart this Earth.1．Why are people devoted to a career lasting long even after their death?A.Because they want to achieve more.B.Because they want to benefit their generations.C.Because they want to find the meaning of their life.D.Because they want to make others satisfied with them.2．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Life is always changeable.B.Life is always invisible.C.Life is always predictable.D.Life is always reliable.3．The author thinks the risks in our life are.A.frustratingB.worthwhileC.dangerousD.challenging4．What can we learn about wills according to the last paragraph?A.Events drive us to explore our wills.B.Events are made up of wills of our life.C.Moments are realized by spirit and wills.D.We should live our lives according to our will.CA busy public square in the Chinese city of Nanjing is home to an unusual experiment.For almost two months, the country’s first “honesty bookshop” has occupied（占据）a sidewalk on HanZhong Road in the city’s Gulou District.With no cashier or other staff, the store relies on trust for payment.Making money isn’t the pany’s main goal and they don’t punish those who take books without paying.“If they can really finish the books, it doesn’t matter if they took the books for free,” Zhu Yu , the marketing director of the pany says.“In fact, we are really happy to witness so many people taking books from the honesty bookshop.”After browsing the four wooden bookshelves, customers must drop their money in a locked box.Prices are set at 30% of the usual cover price.Zhu hopes that his sidewalk store, which sells, on average, 60 books a day ,will make more people interested in reading.Like elsewhere，e-books are affecting sales of traditional books, And traditional books and many independent booksellers are struggling.Zhu got permission from the city government to use the sidewalk and says he’s determined to make it a long-term project.He says th e store is open every day, except when it rains ,and it’s locked up each night.In September last year, the pany laid out 1,000 books and reading lamps on the ground and encouraged people“ to go on a date” with a book.“Independent bookshops represent the well-being of the city.” Zhu told CNN in xx, “when a city is losing its bookshops, it’s actually losing something in its soul.”[KIf the success of the Honesty Bookstore is any guide, Nanjing’s soul is in pretty good shape.1.How is the bookstore different from other bookstores?A.

Now we must stand up and demand action to prevent the same thing happening to cheetah, elephants, black rhinos and giraffes."Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only beThere are currently more than 500,000 pieces of space junk being tracked as they circle Earth. Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, __31__ satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth.Tiangong-1 was China's first space station. It was __32__ in 2011, but the country lost contact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide __33__ would return to Earth.At the moment, scientists don't know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planet's atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There is no need to worry, though. While scientists can't say where it will land, there is very little __34__ that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earth's atmosphere - a(n) __35__ of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in water, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall __36__ into the sea.As the __37__ landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and __38__. A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the US government about space travel, said, "In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by __39__ space debris（残留物）."One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone __40__ enough to see it.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection 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.Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social mobility and economic growth. Almost all sub-sidise（补贴）tuition - in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and __41__ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are __42__.Spending on universities is usually __43__ by the "graduate premium" - the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes,__44__ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage__45__ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best __46__ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so __47__, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants.Non-graduates are thus increasingly __48__ decent work.In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education __49__ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and __50__ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are __51__, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being __52__ about the probable value of university.Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own __53__ practices. School-leavers should be given a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their __54__. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less __55__ degrees. "Micro-credentials" - short, work-focused courses approved by big employers infast-growing fields, such as IT - show promise.41. A. calculate B. cover C. ignore D. demonstrate42.

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 wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent.In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had anew national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields - children shouting at play; and women bent double - most with infants on their backs - hoeing（锄地）the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade.The Swahili word safari means 'journey', it has nothing to do with animals, someone 'on safari' is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party's extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition.Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalisation that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons - in a spirit of discover - simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me.Home had become a routine, and routine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated .. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you.56. What did the writer expect from his journey?A. To have a variety of enjoyable experiences.B. To see how Africa had changed.C. To see impressive scenery.D. To meet some old friend.57. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?A. Little was likely to change.B. Things were likely to improve.C. Women would do most of the work.D. People's expectations were too limited.58. In paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?A. He wanted a change of activity.B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him.C. His health was suffering from staying at home.D. He had been waiting to return to Africa for long.59. The writer says 'I was a sitting duck' in paragraph 5 to show that _________.A. he was boringB. he was easy to findC. he had a fixed lifestyleD. he was always lending money(B)The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen Anne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, the beginning year of Queen Anne's reign（统治期）.A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often possible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical（不对称的）. If you draw an imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch（门廊）that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the house.Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the public's taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Annehouses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago.60. Why does the author use the word "curious" (in paragraph 1) in describing the name of an American style?A. The style was invented before Queen Anne's reign.B. The style was more popular in Victorian England.C. The name was accidentally misspelled.D. The name did not originate in America.61. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about the Queen Anne style?A. It was not very popular.B. It had to be build in the city.C. It combined several other styles.D. It was elaborate and fancily decorated.62. According to passage, why did Queen Anne houses go out of style?A. People started moving to the suburbs.B. People came to see them as a symbol of the past.C. People were more interested in newer house styles.D. People could no longer afford to build such large houses.(C)What will the development of quantum computers（量子计算机）mean for our civilisations? Oh sure, better cryptography（密码方式）, "more powerful" processing, but bottom line, we just don't know ... yet.This phenomenon isn't unique to quantum computing, of course. It's something we see time and gain with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, it's how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees it's going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity.There's a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the "barriers between creator and audience". The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modern. Concepts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at.Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn't "fit" down the inter-tubes of the day.Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your browser, today Nexflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection.Quantum computing isn't a consumer technology, of course. It's a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor（电子晶体）. Sure, most people have heard of it, but few understand it. Actually, we don't even really understand it. But we're reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of "hit it with a hammer until it works". Sure the hammer is microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we're going through the process of turning the idea into reality.Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.63. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A. Optimistic.B. Unconcerned.C. Doubtful.D. Defensive.64. The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ________.A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB. the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictableD. the internet inspired many debates in the following years65. By "hit it with a hammer until it works", the writer means that quantum computing ________.A. has been questionedB. has been fully understoodC. hasn't been heard of beforeD. hasn't been applied to practice66. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A. Its development is a gradual process.B. Most is the brainchild of a scientist.C. Not all is accessible to the public.D. Its future is often a top secret.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. Yet change demands a shift in emphasis, from providers to patients and from doctors to data. ________67________ Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients - access to your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical programmes.________68________ One is better diagnosis. Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical grade monitor that will detect arrhythmias（心律失常）. Apps are trying to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease. Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analysed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.A second benefit lies in the management of complex diseases. Diabetes（糖尿病）apps can change the way patients cope, by monitoring blood-glucose levels and food intake, potentially reducing long-run harm such as blindness. Akili Interactive, a startup, plans to seek regulatory approval for a video game designed to stimulate an area of the brain implicated in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.________69________ Although health records are increasingly electronic, many still contain data that machines cannot read. This can lead to delays in treatment, or worse. Many of the 250,000 death in America owed to medical error each year can be traced to poorly arranged care. ________70________ On January 24th Apple laid out its plans to ask organisations to let patients use their smartphones to download their own medical records.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. 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.Change Is Needed In Youth SportsEverywhere you look, you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis bat. And these kids are getting younger and younger. Children can even compete on basketball, baseball, and volleyball teams starting at age nine. The youth soccer organization has teams for children asyoung as five. And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four, to prepare children for competition.It's true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of our national Olympic teams. But what about the others - the average kids? This emphasis on competition in sports is having serious negative effects.Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport. Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. A survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sport. But 66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport - for fun.Another problem is the pressure imposed by over-competitive parents and coaches. Children are not naturally competitive. In fact, a recent study by Paulo David found that most children don't even understand the idea of competition until they are seven years old. Very young kids don't know why their parents are pushing them so hard.The third, the biggest, problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework, have fun, be with friends - in short, time to be kids. When they are forced to spend every afternoon at sports practice, they often start to hate their chosen sport. Researchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part in competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. Many of them completely lose interest in sports. Excessive competition takes away all the enjoyment.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 对进口设备的禁令还未取消。

2017 学年度第一学期高三英语周二练习 2017.9.19II.Grammar and Vocabulary(20%)Section A Directions: 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 proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.In the 1960s, the Word Health Organization(WHO) began a campaign to get rid of the mosquitoes that transmit the disease malaria. It was a noble goal, since malaria kills a(n) (21) (estimate) 3 million people each year in the world's tropical regions, mainly southern Africa. WHO led an effort to spray the mosquitoe's habitat with a chemical pesticide---a poison used to kill insects---called DDT. Early results were promising and the mosquito (22) (eliminate)from the edge of its native range. The effort soon faltered, however, and the killing plan was drooped. How was it (23) a tiny mosquito could spoil the best efforts of a large group ofwell-funded scientists?Situations like this one (24) (occur) dozens of times in the last several decades. In acommon scenario, whenever a new type of pesticide is used to control agricultural pests, the early results are encouraging. A relatively small amount of the poison dusted onto a crop may kill 99% of the insects. However, the relatively few survivors of the first pesticide wave are insects with genes (25) somehow enable them to resist the chemical attack. The poison kills most membersof the insect population, (26) (leave) only the resistant individuals to reproduce. And (27)they do, their offspring inherit the genes for pesticide resistance. In each generation, the proportion of pesticide-resistant individuals in the insect population increases, making subsequent spraying (28) (effective).(29) the widespread use of chemical pesticides began in the 1940s, scientistshave documented pesticide resistance in more than 500 species of insects. The problems such insects pose—through their impact on agriculture and medicine—are just some of the many ways that evolution has a direct connection to our daily lives. Everywhere, all the time, populations of organisms are fine-tuning adaptations (30) local environments through the evolutionary process of natural selection. Given the dynamics of Earth and its life, it is not surprising that even the kinds of organisms on the planet---the species---have changed over time.Section BDirections : Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.For almost 5,000 years, cities changed little. Then their growth, in size and number, was so rapid that it has been called an urban revolution or urban explosion.In 1700, less than 2 percent of the population of Great Britain lived in cities, but by 1900, the majority of the British did so.Other European countries and the United States soon 31 the same level of urbanization in an even shorter period. Today, these and other Western countries are 32 the most urbanized in the world, along with many Latin American countries, which have become mostly urbanized in more recent years.The major stimulus to the urban explosion was the Industrial Revolution. It triggered a series of related events, 33 by sociologist Philip Hauser (1981) as population explosion, followedby population explosion and population implosion, and then by technophile. Industrialization first causes a rise in production growth, and the mechanization of fanning brings about an agricultural surplus. Fewer farmers can support more people---and thus larger urban populations . Workers no longer 34 on the farms move to the city.There is, then, displacement of people from rural to urban areas( population displosion) and a greater 35 of people in a limited area (population implosion). The development of other new technologiess purs on urbanization. Improved transportation, for example, speeds the 36 of food and other materials to urban centers.The 37 of these events was the industrial city. Compared with the preindustrial city, the industrial city was larger, more densely settled and more diverse. It was a place where large numbers of people—with a wide range of skills, interests, and cultural backgrounds---could live and work together in a(n) 38 C space. Also, unlike the preindustrial city, which had served 39 as a religious or government center, the industrial city was a commercial hub. In fact, its abundant job opportunity attracted so many rural migrants that migration 40 for the largest shareof its population growth. Without these migrants, cities would not have grown at all because of the high mortality rate brought about by extremely poor sanitary conditions.III.Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: 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 bestfits the context.We've all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too 41 in a kid's life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.Superficially, this wisdom is sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling backlash(反冲) .The concern: wasnings that moms and dads should 42 “the overparenting trap”---are discouraging parents from getting invovled at all.Yes, parents can be intrusive. 43 , there are increasing examples of parents refusingto step up when students genuinely need their family. One mom kept 44 (about her son's signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want t“ohelicopter in.”That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning t4o5 parents who get too involved, now have a different 46 . But the solution to both is the same: devising ways to channel moms and dads into the right kind of 47 role. Much of this began because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students48 with their parents like never before, thanks to smart phones. And with 49 in education soaring, university leaders have started to view parents as investment partners. Most of them have paid for this education for their children or gone into debt for this education. And in some sense, they*re entitled to know and be assured that colleges are 5 0 their children's welfare.Crucially, parent-outreach programs have also served as buffers(缓冲), 51students---or worse, their professors~the discomfort of the nagging. At the University of Maryland, for example, the parent office has handled for 52 weekly academic-progress reports, which do not exist in higher education^ Parents just want to know they have a place to go where someone will listen totheir concerns.But now, with some moms and dads cautious of even contacting the school in the first place, those same programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often via blogs, email and Facebook.

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.Louisianans believe in leading a healthy lifestyle that is actively involved in preserving the earth's environment and resources. According to Louisianans, respect for one's own mental and physical health should exist in parallel with care for the earth's ecology. They believe their actions, in this way, can have a positive effect on our global environment and might be able to reverse the negative effects of mindless, selfish consumption.On the road, Louisianans tend to prefer bicycles as a means of transportation, since bikes produce no pollution, take up less space than cars, and allow riders to simultaneously exercise and commute to and from work or school. Off the road, Louisianans want to enter eco-friendly structures. Therefore, favored buildings for them will be those using water, electricity, and other resources more efficiently. This can be achieved through employing “ green buildingtechniques, including well-thought-out design and the use of environmentally friendly materials, .such as organic paint and heat-insulating tiles. Although these green practices are not likely to bring immediate benefits to the environment and the health of people today, Louisianans are confident that these practices will benefit their children and future generations.As more consumers are adopting LOHAS values, the corporate world has started to respond to this growing trend by beginning to practice responsible capitalism, which means providing goodsand services using environmentally friendly and economically sustainable business practices. For instance, McDonald's switched its packaging for its hamburgers from plastic foam to paper in the early 1990s because the latter is biodegradable. Coca-Cola's efforts in the area of sustainable packaging focus mainly on “ usingless ”an d “ reusingm ore. ”In 2006, Coca-Cola redesigned its glass bottle to extend its life cycle and reduce its impact on the environment. As a result, the company saved 89,000 metric tons of glass in 2007 alone, and, therefore, reduced carbon dioxide emissions to a level equivalent to that of the planting of more than 13,000 acres of trees.Clearly, LOHAS values have become a significant trend in the world today. Individual or corporate “cultural creatives” are promoting these values by challenging old traditions, kicking . old habits, and building new lifestyles. In the LOHAS philosophy, this is an era for change and for revolutionary concepts that benefit the mind and body. It is an era in which all individuals should evolve into Louisianans and take action to save the planet, before it is too late.56.Which of the following statements is the main idea of the reading?A.More and more people are taking action to stop the earth from being destroyed.B.Nowadays, most customers are very concerned with their own health.C.Many corporations are following environmentally friendly business practices.D.A new lifestyle focusing on health and sustainability has become a growing trend.57.People who believe in and practice the LOHAS philosophy do not .A.prefer more environmentally friendly means of transportation.B.take action to protect and preserve the environmentC.emphasize the immediate benefits of their actions.D.favor buildings that use less energy.58.Which of the following practices may a corporate LOHAS follower perform?A.Redesign the packaging of a product to increase the consumption of resources.e environmentally friendly business practices to provide products to consumers.C.Avoid using biodegradable packaging because it costs a lot of money.D.Offer employees rich foods, such as hamburgers and soft drinks.59.We can infer from the reading that the author's attitude toward LOHAS is most likely to beA.pessimisticB. negativeC. affirmativeD. indifferent(B)Bring your staff to our special Mediaeval Knight School for a company event they won 't forget.

To that end, we've seen the rise of positions like “chief happiness officer” as well as workplace dogs and on-site meditation. But while employers may have improved the office itself, they have not solved the stress of leaving it: the crushing tide of emails and IMs, which---thanks to the rise of smart phones—can pull us back to work, anytime, anywhere. Now, in an effort to prevent burnout, a growing number of employers have started to suggest ways in which employees should unplug their connected devices. The automaker, Volkswagen,in collaboration with its union, set its servers to stop mobile email service for some works from 30 minutes after quitting time until 30 minutes before starting time.These measures may sound dramatic and possibly impractical, but there is data to suggest they are needed A recent research suggests that limiting the number of times a day that we check email or work-chat services—from, say, 10 or 20 to three or four---cannot only reduce stress levels but also increase overall productivity, But in order for any solution to succeed, workers have to be willing to regulate their own habits And that is especially tough in a country like the U.S, ，where being super busy, or at least appearing to be super busy, is a point of pride. Even if more U.S. employers were to implement the kinds of limits that V olkswagen do, experts are skeptical that they'd work. 4i If the social norm is to be on all the time, you don't want to be the odd one out/ '，s a yNse Awn Jg e rlsae Lye-baanseeydmarketing consultant, adding that some bosses will think less of employees for not answering email after work hours, even if they say they won't.Moreover, dictating when and how employees should use their connected devices willinevitably hamper many workers. There are plenty of people who do their best work at 3 a.m. In fact, a majority of working adults say that being able to check work email at home makes it easier to get more done; many also said it improved their relationships with colleagues.For now, it seems, the best way for employers to foster a fulfilled, productive workforce is to be flexible, both inside and outside the office. One example, although Andy Mon fried, the CEO and founder of Lotame, a New York-based data-managementc ompany, says those kinds of time limits wouldn't work for his business—it 'toso global —he does give his employees flexibility on 5U when and where they can work. Hes also vigilant about burnout. I vowed that I would not create a company where people had the Sunday-night blues—the kind where you go to bed sick to your stomach,he says.“ I tell people that if that 's happening repeatedly, i'ts a sign of work-life imbalance and they should come talk to me”.63.To stop employees from getting exhausted, employers tried to .A.promise to make their staff happier and more productive.B.allow pet dogs in the office.C.encourage meditation in workplace.D.suggest ways to disconnect their mobile devices.63. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?A.Employers will find ways to regulate workers, working habits.B.U.S. experts cast doubt on the feasibility of limiting connected time.C.U.S. employers won^ think of contacting employees after work.D.Volkswagen's policies will also apply to U.S. companies.64.The underlined word ‘Hamper', is closest in meaning to .A. facilitateB. handicapC.relieveD. toughen65.Which of the following can be inferred from the article? A.There seems to be no right way to unplug from work.B.Flexibility on when and where to work is the best way to avoid burnout.C.Employees applaud the way to cut down their connected time.D.Impractical as the measures sound, they will work well for employers.Section C Directions: 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. Distance or face-to-face learning -wha'ts the difference?Although many people think it is a modem phenomenon, distance learning has been around for at least 200 years in one form or another.When comparing the two systems, the first and most obvious area to focus on is the way that learning is delivered. Distance learning is heavily dependent on technology, particularly the internet. (67) In comparison, when learning remotely, technology is the principalmeans of communication. The flexibility this provides means that students may bebetter able to learn at their own pace, following their own timetable, but it may also mean that learners have to be well-organized and self-disciplined. They must therefore be highly motivated in order to do well on the distance-learning courses.(68) Namely, the teacher is the ‘knower',, and is responsible forhelping studentsunderstand the key components of the course. However, the nature of the relationship may differ slightly within the two modes of delivery. With face-to-face learning, the teacher and student have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship through lectures, seminars and tutorials. This is different from a distance-learning course, where the teacher may seldom or indeed never actually meet the student This may makeit hard for teachers to understand their learners' specific learning needs.(69) Generally, students like to meet regularly and talk to people on the same course.However, this kind of interaction on a distance-learning course is less common. Although people can increasingly interact through online conversations and message boards, there is a significant difference between virtual and real interaction. Time and geography must also be considered when contrasting these two types of learning. Face-to-face learning must take place in real-time and in one location.In conclusion, it is difficult to state whether one form of learning is better than another, as they cater for different audiences. What is important to understandis the different ways in which they operate, and that there are strong similarities between the two systems, which can both produce positive results.A. Historical examples of long-distance learning include students being sent a series of weekly lessors by post.B.Conversely；distance learning can happen at any time and in any location, since the learning is not restricted by geography.C.On a face-to-face course, students may only require a computer for the purpose of writing an essay.D.The technological, advances of the past 20 or so years have meant that distance learning is now able to rival face-to-face learning as a credible alternative.E.For many students, interaction with their peers is one of the best aspects of university education.F.In terms of the teacher-student relationship, the core principles remain the same.IV.S ummary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. However, there are things that we can do to save endangered species.Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happensin two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals'habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms.Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there.Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea fromth eir bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks haveall become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark's fin soup.So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species frombecoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habits should face a financial penalty. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too.V.Translation(15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.缺乏足够的训练让他与金牌失之交臂。
