That’s not a big number _41_ to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.III. Reading Comprehension (50%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University．Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by “a long-time shortage of general 51 ．“No statistic（统计数字）makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,” he says．Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studies．That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）．One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1．1 per cent of its gross 55 product （GDP）on higher education, compared to 2．6 percent in the US．“ A central reason why so few Germans56 university degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化）in the 57 of education．This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher．Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,” he said．Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported．Famous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments．Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany．This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations．But now there signs that 61 may be changing．Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees that62 money has to be spent on higher education．But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universiti es are in 63 ．“A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification．Now, things have changed for the better,” Lenzen said．50．A．self B．high C．higher D．language 51．A．loan B．funding C．aid D．finance 52．A．completing B．rewarding C．demanding of D．applying for 53．A．successfully B．scarcely C．fail to D．try to 54．A．thanks to B．due to C．owing to D．according to 55．A．definite B．digital C．dominant D．domestic 56．A．persuade B．pursue C．seek D．refuse 57．A．difficulty B．quantity C．quality D．organization 58．A．here B．abroad C．alone D．at home 59．A．administered B．established C．managed D．financed 60．A．rare B．common C．sufficient D．rejected 61．A．tax B．money C．attitudes D．decision 62．A．less B．more C．no D．enough 63．A．progress B．decline C．need D．development 64．A．evidence B．occasion C．situation D．caseSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site.Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master Card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line.However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.65. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.B. Fraud on the Internet.C. Many Web sites are destroyed.D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.66. What is the meaning of the word “fraud” ?A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. safety67. How can the thieves get the information of the credit-card?A. The customers give them the information.B. The thieves steal the information from Web sites.C. The customers sell the information to them.D. Both A and B.68. You are shopping on the site: ,and you want to buy a TV set, what does this article suggest doing?A. Order the TV set at once.B. Do not buy the TV set on this site.C. E-mail the site your credit-card information.D. Tell the site your password and buy the TV set for you.(B)Before we send humans into deep space, we’ll have to find out just how long the human body can survi ve in a weightless environment. One problem is that in space there’s no physical sensation to let you know when you’re upside down and astronauts have to rely on possible clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit(轨道), one in three of all astronauts will experience space sickness—a feeling rather like carsickness. There is also the problem of protection from the extreme hazards(危险) of space such as constant meteorite bombardment(陨星轰击) and radiation. It is going to take some clever technology to keep rockets and astronautsfrom these dangers.Even with a well-protected spaceship, space travel isn’t going to be easy. No matter what you travel in, it is going to be a long flight in space! Science fiction writers often imagine using suspended animation(动画), a kind of forced long-term sleep, as a way for astronauts to escape the boredom of long missions.An even stronger measure might be to freeze the astronauts. We already use cryogenic(低温) techniques to preserve dead bodies and store human embryos(胚胎). Freezing living adults may not be so far away, but perhaps we don’t have to do that. Perhaps we should use our existing technology and send frozen embryos to the far corners of universe.Hundreds of years from now, billions and billions of miles away, the embryos will be thawed(解冻) and their hearts will start beating. These astronauts of the future will not grow inside a mother’s body but will be produced in a machine. They will be brought up by robot. It may seem strange but one day it might just happen.69. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. scientists already use existing technology to store embryos for space flightB. cryogenic techniques will practically be used for space flight in hundreds of yearsC. it may be easier to freeze embryos than to freeze adults on the spaceshipD. most astronauts will suffer from space sickness70. In the future astronauts for extreme long journeys will grow up_____.A. before they go into spaceB. during the space tripC. when they are inside mother’s bodyD. after they return from space71. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the bright future of space flightB. the possibility to train embryo astronautsC. the physical and mental conditions of astronautsD. the problems and the possible solutions to them in long space flights( C )NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the –counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) fortechnological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.It is the largest stock market in the world.B.IT lists only small companies.C.It lists all the new technology companies.D.It lists the biggest number of companies.73. The word” negotiate”(Line 8,Para.1) means ________.A. discussB. argueC. interfereD. cope74. NASDAQ is also known as an over-the –counter market because it seems______.A. a stock marketB. a stock exchangeC. a counterD. a store75. Since its founding in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to ______.A.raising money for many companiesB.creating an efficient environment for many companiesC.the expected development of many companiesD.the unexpected development of many companiesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76. ______________________Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向）to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stricken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a child's genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. ______________________The implications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes（中风）. But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find curesto many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and many parents are excited about this potential.78. ______________________Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research.. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another problem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. ______________________Many people believe that history has not always shown human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not "play God" He asks, "Just because it can be done, does that mean it should be done?" He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society.80. ______________________One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample taken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients' permission. Most people would agree that one's health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or costs; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.（No more than 12 words）A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned cattle, pigs and goats.The 968-page "final risk assessment," not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support people’s concerns that food from clones may have hidden risk s. But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of（谨慎的）food from clones—and that cloning could damage the good image of American milk and meat—the report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.“Moral, religious and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based assessment.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their way to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animals’replicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born — will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of superior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FDA drawn after the public waited for a long time?82. Foods from clones won’t be available soon partly because _________________.83. With the appearance of cloned farm animals, people care more about _________________ problems.84. How will foods from ordinary animals be labeled?第II卷I.

They cometo take in experimental works of art that all have one thing in common —hip hop. This weekend the SanFrancisco International Hip Hop DanceFest celebrates 20 years of presenting electrifying hip hop performances.Each DanceFest has diversity (多样化) of style and group size, and a balance of local andout-of-town companies. From Vietnam to Brazil to Uganda to the Czech Republic, the festival hasdrawn impressive international talent.After a long process, only the most exceptional companies are flown in for DanceFest. In fact,outstanding technical dance skills are only a basic standard that the festival organizers are looking for.They look for much more —groups or artists that think outside the box. Artists that use hip hop in atheatrical way or to address social issues are sure to stand out. For instance, the 2010 performance“Tables and Chairs ”served to underline the negative e f f a e l c t o s h o o f l i s m on society.It would be terribly irresponsible not to mention the founder, Micaya, in any introduction toDanceFest. A popular hip hop dance instructor, Micaya began producing high energy dance shows inthe heart of San Francisco in 1993. Students of all ages and backgrounds love her classes so much thata San Francisco newspaper once described her as “Best Dance Instructor ”.However, Micaya was concerned about the then dubious reputation of hip hop. She made it hergoal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. In 1999 she startedDanceFest. It was the first festival of its kind to honor the creativity of hip hop dance in anon-competitive atmosphere. To Micaya, competitive rules leave little room for the magic that comesfrom true expression. One review said, Micaya ’s festival challenges us “to reconsider just how dand embracing hip hop can now be. ”Indeed, Micaya brings out the best in dancers, and has given San Francisco one of its finest festivals.36. What is the passage mainly about?A. The creativity of hip hop.B. The characteristics and the history of DanceFest.C. The best instructor of hip hop.D.

But his tools, at the time, mainly applied to hardware, not software.The student ’qsuestion inspired Belkhir ’lastest research on the global emissions footprint of information and communications technology.Belkhir, along with Ahmed Elmeligi, a recent W Booth graduate and co-founder of HiNT (Healthcare Innovation in Neuro Technology), studied the carbon footprint of consumer devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, desktops as well as data centres and communication networks as early as4. Their findings were published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.Not only did they discover that software is driving the consumption of ICT, they also found thatICT has a greater impact on emissions than we thought and most emissions come from production and operation.“For every text message, for every phone call, every video you upload or download, therecentre making this happen. ”Belkhir explains. “Telecommunicationsnetworks and data centres consume a lot of energy to serve you and most data centres continue to be powered by electricity produced by traditional fuel s. It ’s the energy consumption we don ’t see. ”高三英语共19 页第8 页Among all the devices, trends suggest that by 2020, the most damaging devices to the environment are smartphones. While smartphones consume little energy to operate, 85% of their emissions impact comes from production.A smartphone ’chsip and motherboard (芯片和主板) require the most amount of energy to produce as they are made up of precious metals that are mined at a high cost. Smartphones also have a short life which drives further production of new models and an extraordinary amount of waste.Belkir has made policy recommendations based on his findings.“Communicationand data centres have to go under renewable energy now. The good news is Google and Facebook data centres are going to run on renewable energy. But there needs to be a policy in place so that all data centres follow. Also, it ’n s o t sustainable to have a two -year plan for smartphones. ”42. The story between Lotfi Belkhir and his student in 2014 was mentioned to _____.A. explain the importance of software sustainabilityB. illustrate the inspiration for Belkhir ’s latest researchC. reveal the damaging impact of ICT on the environmentD. show Belkhir ’s student’s creativity and critical thinking43. One reason why smartphones may be the most damaging devices of all to the environment by 2020is that _____.A. they are more precious than other devicesB. they drive the greatest consumption of ICTC. they are frequently replaced by new modelsD. they need large amounts of energy to operate44. To reduce the emission of ICT, Lotfi Belkhir suggests that _____.A. longer plans be made to create renewable data centresB. sustainable materials be invented to produce smartphonesC. policies be established to advocate everlasting smartphonesD. green energy be used to operate communication and data centres45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. ICT does greater harm to the environment than thought.B. Software can do irreversible damage to the environment.C. Software is more damaging to the environment than hardware.D. ICT will have the greatest impact on the environment by 2040.Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

But setting up the aeroponic farm was not easy.B. The government wants to greatly expand this percentage.C. Many of the commercial aeroponic systems are relatively costly.D. Aeroponics, however, does not require traditional farm work or much land.E. Growing with aeroponics is not difficult and its benefits far outweigh any disadvantages.F. It could make a big difference in places where huge amounts of land have been madeunfarmable.Growing Food from Air in NigeriaA group of farmers in Nigeria is using a technology-based method to grow crops from mist ( 水汽) in the air. The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in theair. The roots take in nutrients from a watery mist.Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria, but farmers there are working to make the techniquemore popular. 67Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria ’s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta.Ogbole says they are on a campaign to end seasonal food scarcity in Nigeria. “Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires, we are not depending on seasons. So it ’n s o longerseasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning we can plant anytime of the year, andwe can harvest anytime of the year. ”68 It required financing of more than $180,000. And some people in Abeokuta werevery much against this non-traditional method of farming. I t took a lot of effort to change people ’ sminds about aeroponics.In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares (公顷) of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 millionhectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation thatworries traditional farmers. 69 Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system,greatly increasing productivity.Philip Ojo is director general of Nigeria ’Nsational Agricultural Seeds Council. He says the government welcomes new farming methods. Ojo noted that with aeroponics, farmers can quicklyincrease planting materials. So, his group strongly supports the technology.The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria ’ecsonomy. 70 Fornow, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access tohigh-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole areoffering a new way forward.高三英语共19 页第10 页IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.46.Giving ThanksThis is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we ’re thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special. But why should welimit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a muscle we should strengthen year-round to make us healthier, happier humans and leaders.Emmons, through his research, found that grateful people reported feeling healthier, both mentally and physically. Specifically, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren ’t. In the workplace, well-being is a crucial topic when it comes to preventing employee burn-out and promoting engagement. Beyond the research that shows that employees who are shown that they are appreciated are more productive by 50 percent, caring for your employees’well-being is simply the right thing to do. Providing programs that support managing life ’s everyday challenges, offering fitness classes or implementing flexible work schedules are just a few things that, when paired with gratitude, can lead to more productive, engaged and happier working professionals.Working in an ever-evolving, fast-paced industry, I am surrounded by ambitious people who are always striving for more and better. Gratitude challenges you to reflect in the moment instead of always thinking about the future. It starts by paying attention to what’s going on in your life, and that true self-awareness is a key ingredient to being successful in your career.Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships, both at work and in your personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.The old saying goes “It’s never too late to say you’re sorry,”but the same is true of gratitude. That’s a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.47. 出于好奇，杰克向村民们打听了这座城堡的历史。
