Furthermore,they are environmentally friendly,since you don’t have to buy(25)______wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯).You can simply refill your mechanical pencil!There is only one slight negative I must remark on,(26) ______is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils“lead pencil”in casual conversation,the term“lead pencil”is confusing.Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead.It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay,which(27)______not give you lead poisoning.This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom:“John,stop that!You’re going to get lead poisoning!”I think all the third-graders(and teachers)in the world would feel much(28)______(safe)if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one,but(29)____________the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter,I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more.Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger;perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full,hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me(30)______(use)tomorrow.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.A.threatenedB.designedC.preferencesD.typicallyE.experimentalF.theoreticalG.abandoned H.instruments I.constantly J.extensive K.persuasiveScience Isn’t Always Perfect—But We Should Still Trust ItFrom environment pollution to climate change,we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims.Are genetically modified crops safe to eat?Is climate change an emergency?In recent years,many of these issues have become politically polarized,with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political31.When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist,was asked by one member why we should trust the science,she replied,“because it’s science!”For several decades,there has been a(n)32and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are33by the findings of modern science.In response,scientists have tended to stress the success of science.After all,scientists have been right about most things,from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong,but for many people it’s not34.After all,just because scientists more than400years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science?—is that scientists use“the scientific method.”If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around the house,you’ll probably find that answer in it.But this answer is wrong. But what is35declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设),then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do.Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods,and these methods have changed with time.Science36changes:new methods get invented,old ones get37,and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things.And that’s a good thing,because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work.False theories can produce true results,so even if an experiment works,it doesn’t prove that the theory it was38to test is true.There also might be many different theories that could produce that same39 result.On the contrary,if the experiment fails,it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong;it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the40.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Travelling,at least travelling any considerable distance,means dealing with airports.I’ve seen my share of airports. They come in several41.The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main wa i t i n g ar e a wa s sm a l l e r th a n ma n y sc h o o l cl a s s r o o m s,se c u r i t y an d ti c k e t ch e c k i n g we r e b o t h 42by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in.It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two43on our flight.At the other extreme are the44,modern airports in the world’s major X,in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you.Some,such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport,SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco,like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai,have45terminals connected by different buses or underground trains.Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals,which can be a little46.Heathrow airport in London,England,47that bigger is not always better.Heathrow consists of terminals used by various48and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants.At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the49that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time.Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just30minutes to find and50your gate,some of which are a25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no51for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flightsare arriving and departing and where they plan to put them.If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another,what I want is a quiet place,not an area52bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel,for me,is interesting but when I have to fly,getting there is53not half the fun.Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n)54part of the process.Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be55,not really enjoyed.41. A.types B.cities C.areas D.sizes42. A.identified B.handled C.promoted D.processed43. A.guards B.astronauts C.pilots D.passengers44. A.tremendous B.crowded C.international D.fashionable45. A.flexible B.multiple C.available D.irregular46. A.exciting B.astonishing C.confusing D.encouraging47. A.regulates B.emphasizes C.encounters D.demonstrates48. A.functions B.departments C.airlines D.authorities49. A.recreation B.presentation C.announcement D.impression50. A.look for B.get to C.meet at D.check out51. A.exception B.doubt C.apology D.excuse52. A.filled with B.dominated by C.decorated with D.recognized by53. A.increasingly B.permanently C.attentively D.definitely54. A.effective B.optional C.necessary D.suitable55. A.simplified B.endured C.declared D.paralleledSection 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 read.(A)Sometimes when she felt bored,she would pick up one of the numerous biographies(传记)about herself and begin to note on it.“I never did that”or“simply not true”she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages.Since journalists,biographers and more recently even“bloggers”had been writing about her since the day she was born,there was plenty of material to edit.Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the tely,however,she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness.Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset,should they ever catch her out.After all she was the decisive one,always on top of her game.A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table.A full day of openings and presentations,of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood,she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea.The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read,she simply went to visit Mr.Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream,served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache.So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls.Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother,who was a stickler for good manners.It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days,what with all the concern about childhood fatness,but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey.As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her,she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short,predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B.The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C.The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D.Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57.Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A.She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.B.She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C.She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.D.Today’s children aren’t allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58.A“Spartan menu”(paragraph4)would most likely___________________.A.have mainly low fat,healthy foodsB.be suitable for a romantic dinnerC.include a range of sweets,but no jellyD.include foods which are easy to transport59.What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A.The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B.The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C.Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D.The main character will update her blog on the internet.(B)Canals have to be built on a level,otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless.This was the great problem facing the early canal builders,and they overcame it in different ways.The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level even though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers,such as Thomas Telford,developed a new technique known as‘cut and fill’in which they fixed a level through very accurate surveying.This allowed them to fill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soil they took from the higher ground.By this method,very direct routes could be taken,which cut down the time of a journey very considerably.A good example of this type of canal is Telford’s Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal,which he began in1826to provide a direct route from the Midlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal,of course,whichever method was used,and most canals were provided with locks in which barges were raised or lowered to new levels.If you look at the diagram on the right,you can see a barge being raised in a lock by means of water which was allowed into the lock basin,or pound,from the upper level of the canal.When a barge had to be lowered,water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level of the canal.60.Brindley’s canals were less efficient,most likely because_______________.A.he was not a good canal engineerB.the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC.his canals were built to keep the water drains outD.they had too many roundabout routes61.According to this passage,why was the‘cut and fill’technique designed?A.The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B.It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C.New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D.The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62.Locks are needed in canals to_______________.A.help boats to travel in both directionsB.keep water levels changing all the timeC.allow large ships to travel in canalsD.transfer boats across differing water levels(C)In the ancient world,the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic.That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine,Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today—that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary.He travelled across Greece teaching medicine,encouraging the view that disease had physical,not supernatural,explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath,a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life,swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm.One of Hippocrates’theories was of the‘four humours’,a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body—blood,phlegm,and black and yellow bile(a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only150years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body’s internal balance.But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile,they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using careful observation and logical thought.Aristotle,political theorist,philosopher and teacher,also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view.He was the first to classify organisms,and although his method may seem simple now,he divided them into two basic categories,as either plant or animal—he was the first to do so.Aristotle valued experimentation and discovered that evaporation,the process of becoming a vapour,turned salt water into fresh water.He was also a believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements—fire,earth,water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours,related to the four liquids in the body,were each in line with an organ,a season and with different moods.The four were based on the Greeks’idea of four base elements(air,water,fire,earth).Although discredited now,the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the18th century.They were: -Blood from the liver:associated with Spring;with courage and hope-Phlegm from brain and lungs:Winter;calm and unemotional-Yellow bile from gall bladder(胆囊):Summer;anger and bad temper-Black bile from spleen(脾脏):Autumn;with blue and dark mood63.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B.The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C.Hippocrates thought disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D.Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64.The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that____________.A.the blood was polluted by virusesB.the human body was not evenly balancedC.the patient was in a bad humourD.too much blood was bad for people65.How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A.He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B.He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C.He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D.He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66.Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A.He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B.He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C.He insisted that almost all diseases had supernatural explanations.D.He recognized the importance of the observation and noting of symptoms.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.Singapore’s Information Technology StrategySingapore’s information technology strategy rests on two major legs.The first leg is world-class basic facilities.Being a city-state,it is relatively easy to connect every home,office and hotel room.Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere,either wired or wireless.We will make it a readily available utility like water,electricity,gas and telephone.We are well on our way there.We now require,by regulation,every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT(information technology).Like reading,writing and arithmetic,computers are best learnt when we are young.Today’s children can click the mouse faster than we can blink.In many countries,children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology.But,without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT.Like the piano and violin,one can still learn the computer as an adult.But rarely does one acquire the same facility.The strategy in Singapore is thereforeto teach information technology to every child regardless of his family background.The Education Ministry now has a multi-billion dollar programme to provide one computer for every2schoolchildren in Singapore from first grade onwards. Every teacher will have a notebook.Most Singaporeans now understand the importance of IT,if not for themselves,at least for their children and grandchildren.Over40%of households in Singapore now own PCs.Over one-third of households in Singapore already enjoy access to Internet.What we want is for every Singaporean to be computer literate so that he can function effectively in any bank,factory or restaurant,just as one would expect an employee to be able to read,write and count.An employer in Singapore in the future should not have to worry that his employee does not know how to use a computer or the Internet.第II卷（共40分）V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.如天公作美，周末我们就去郊游。

If so, there would be less violent crime and less school bullying.M: That’s a nice argument, but these traditional sports win many people’s heart and provide a way to release negative emotions.Q: What does the man actually mean?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and theconversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. 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.Community service is an important part of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called“One on One”helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Green will act as mentor to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy t his community service and you are sure to gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your résumé, too —showing that you ’ ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’ d like to sign up, or if you have an y questions, stop by professor Green’s office this week.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What is the main purpose of this talk?12.What is the function of the program mentioned in the passage?13.What does professor Green do according to the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Increasingly, over the past ten years, people — especially young people — have becomeaware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matters. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been enriched by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount —but not the quality —of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of animals like chickens: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.Why have people become more interested in natural foods?15.Which of the following statements is TRUE of natural foods?16.What can be inferred about chickens on battery farms according to the passage?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartmen ts, which one do you like best?W: I don’t know, Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.W: The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.W: That’s true. You should always put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by visitors.W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors! But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place w as the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.W: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner? M: No. Was there one?W: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.W: Yes. I think that apartment is best for your needs. There’ s good parking, and there’s a semi-private area for your desk. That takes care of the daily activities.M: OK. Let’s take that one.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.Why did Brad and Shirley give up the apartment on the 68th Street?18.According to the man, what is wrong with the west window of the 72nd Street apartment?19.Which considerations are crucial in Brad and Shirley’s choice of an apartment?20.Which apartment do the speakers decide to rent?百度盘获取听力音频。

As a junior high school student, I was interested in science. I particularly enjoyed the experiments we did in chemistry class. I was so fascinated by them that I decided to do a little research of my own.I got the idea from a news article I had read. The article said that flaxseed oil was being investigated as analternative fuel. So one afternoon I decided to find out what would happen if I used it to burn a candle.After collecting the necessary materials, I began my experiment. I filled a test tube with flaxseed oil, put asmall piece of cotton in it, and put the candle in a bowlthat I filled with the oil. Then I lit the candle and waited.To my surprise, the candle actually burned. The flame was small, but it kept burning steadily for quite a long time. I was really amazed. I had never seen anything like it before.Since then, I have done a few other experiments of my own. Some were successful and some weren't. But I have learned alot from them and I am still very interested in doing more.1. The author enjoyed __________.A. writingB. readingC. experimentsD. sports2.

黄浦区2021学年度第一学期高三年级期终调研测试英语试卷II.Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections：After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Do Animals Dream?You can't see your sleeping pefs bran waves, but its behavior can tell you when Fido or Fluffy might be dreaming. If you watch clock you'll see that as your cat falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep. ____ 21 __ (call) slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change __ 22 __ her eyes move under her closed lids. Fluffy has entered the REM (Rapid Eye Movement), or dreaming, stage of sleep. Although she moves and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs ___ 23 __ (block), so she can't run about.Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, French scientist who was studying steep in cats _____ 24 ___ (interrupt) theirSleep paralysis, the state of being unable to act or function properly. ________ 25 _________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn't see and bent their backs at invisible enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams!What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed _____ 26 __ (practise) important cat skills: stalking, pouncing, and fighting.In ___ 27 _ study, Mat Wilson, a neuroscientist, recorded rats' brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫).One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills __ 28 __ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish ____ 29 __ not. (They're not sure about birds.)How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when __ 30 __ (lie) down.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.Why Doubt Is Essential To ScienceThe confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them repliedthat it is a(n) ___ 31 __ way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties. Forexample, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their _________ 32 __ b eliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?" 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say "it depends” .But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, science, when properly _____ 33 __ , questions accepted facts and leads to both new knowledge and new questions——not certainty. Doubt does not __ 34 __ trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?As a historian of science, I would argue that it's the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often ______ 35 __ as its weakness: its drive to question and challenge a possible explanation. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new ____ 36 ___ emerges from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are hypotheses that contain the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of are challenged and even overturned. Doubt might be troubling, but it stimulates us towards a better understanding, certainties, as ______ 37 ___ as they may seem, in fact block the scientific process.Scientists understand this, but in the ____ 38 __ force between the public and science, there are two significant traps. One is a form of blind ___ 39 __ that is, a belief in the capacity of science to solve all problems. And the otheris a form of relativism borne out of a lack of ____ 40 __ in the very existence of truth.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.This era of u Industry 4.0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can __ 41 __ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) ___ 42 __ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. _____ 43 ___ robots focused on single, fixed, high-speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4.0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently, which ______ 44 __ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.For large-scale manufacturers, Industry 4.0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and ______ 45 __ remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be ___ 46 __ studied using wh at is known as “ big data " analysis. This will help____ 47 ___ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plant, for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically _____ 48 __ it.For __ 49 ___ m anufacturing business, Industry 4.0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform ____ 50 __ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for ____ 51 __ .While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today9s industrial artificial intelligence operates at a ___ 52 __ level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.What's coming next is known as “deep learning v. Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to ____ 53 __ what is the best action to take. The ____ 54 __ is that the machine leamsfrom the data so it can improve its decision making. A perfect example of deep learning was _____ 55 __ by Google's AlphaGo software, which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go players.41. A. compare with B. adapt to C. pick out D. hold on42.

In fact, until a place has a church and a pub, it is not really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather to socialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of British society. After all, the word 'pub' is actually short for 'public house'.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city of Nottingham called 'Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem J, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which King Richard the First came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.Thafs how it used to be, but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financial measure, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the members of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11 pm. Previously, with 11 pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as ' binge drinking',and it causes long-term health problems for individuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UKgovernment is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the world.B.British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of life.C.Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bans.D.Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban.57.Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11 pm?A.To stimulate customers to spend more on drinks.B.To help British pubs survive economic downturns.C.To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubs.D.To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain.58.The term “binge drinking,,in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describe ________ .A.drinking too much and too quicklyB. social problems related to British pubsC. a new long term drinking approachD. problems caused by drinking too much59.What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A.Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.B.Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinking.C.The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubs.D.Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones.The Coming SeriesExpress Yourself!-The Art of CartooningTime: Thursday, January 6,18:30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Books and filmsC. Entertainment and interactionD. Heroes and achievements(C)Ellen Weiss can hardly see. David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's crudest blows? Not really. Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26. They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. " Residents are usually young and healthy, ”says Dr. Stephen Brunton. "They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through.v Role-playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent walking. Then the erasatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore, undressing for X rays, filling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.At long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay. The staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them. Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking/' But by the end of a few hours, most says, ‘I'm exhausted,J "observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was doing up my collar.v And, to his surprise, "I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would costand how hard it was to go and pick it up." Weiss also learnt： "I realized how little I talk to patients. I might askthem about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed, eat OK, take your medicine?' ” Jeffrey Ortiz thought he wasin for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from “chest pains.” Instead he spent a sleepless night: u People were coming in to to labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor was bleeping, which was noisy and scary. ”Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy. Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. " By concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients9well-being,” observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63.According to the passage, the role-playing programme is designed _____ .A.as an innovative part in the local communityB.as part of the play the residents have to watchC.to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD.to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64.What does the phrase “the ersatz invalids" in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Local patients who usually start out activated and joking.B.Students who make up their faces to look aged.C.Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.D.Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65.The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they _____ .A.fill in a Medicare tableB.are using the washroom on their ownC.are issued bedpans and told to try themD.meet with someone they know well66.What can be concluded according to the passage?A.Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.B.Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.C.Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients, health only by focusing on symptoms.D.Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgement.Section CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentencecan be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Social Integration一Welcoming the NewcomersSocial integration is the process through which minority groups interact, come together or are incoiporated within a community. Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society, and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community. How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic, social, political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society. ______ 67 __ This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races, and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social, cultural, economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighbourhoods, work places, schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. ____ 68 ___ E specially among the younger children, being in the same classas their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports, community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance. From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in school, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause. Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration. In fact, sport can strengthen social networks and promote non- violence and respect. In these ways, meaningful relationships among those of different ages, racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.__ 69 __ Still, countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped. Instead, it should be better managed so that migration is safe, legal and beneficial for everyone. _______ 70 __ Indeed the government and local communities play a key role in integrating these newcomers and empowering them to contribute to their new communities, while maintain their identities.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions：Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in nomore than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Seniority in Promotion Is Not Wise Business PracticeIt's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past, promotingan employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees9 past performance and seniority. In some case, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amountof time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out. However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are more likely to Generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sough by many companiesin order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs, companies have more to gain by selecting outside employeessince they are more willing to try new techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need towait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put, no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder. As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in theentire industry.

2019-2020学年上海市黄浦区教育学院附属中山学校高三英语一模试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年上海市黄浦区教育学院附属中山学校高三英语一模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you arc mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.1. What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Powerful to show one's feelings.B. Affecting each other.C. Attractive to the others.D. Being gentle to people around.2. When copying others, body language, one usually can ______.A. send wrong messagesB. hide true feelingsC. avoid misunderstandingD. win others, acceptance3. What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?A. You will appear very attractive.B. It will help to soften his position.C. You will seem unacceptably proud.D. It willbe a good way to build trust.BIn Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.4. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _________.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers5. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. They don’t want to lose their retirement benefits.B. They are not adaptable people.C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid.D. They get used to the teamwork.6. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twiceB. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workersC. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexibleD. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system7. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.CAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand them out to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”8. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.9. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C.

Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover MemoryDMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicyfood six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.12. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous13. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition14. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.15. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chilies第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
