Mr John Britain’sEvans had never found the time or the money – to make the trip from his house near Swansea. But,when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital , he just could notrefuse.Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr Evans,who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales , al most made the journey to London oncebefore, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings(1shilling =1/20 pound) return from Swansea –too much I thought. All my money went to thefamily then, “ he said.During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a whistle – stop tour of London to seethe sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament(国会).The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about ifpeople will so think I am getting old,” he said.he gets tired. “ I don’t like the chair business –His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no alcohol, no cigarette andno angry.

Sightseeing in LondonDWhen we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we payattention only to those that are important to us. we don’t stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoidingoverloading other people as well.We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式) as convenient ways to make quick judgementsabout situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often bedangerous wrong, but they are used regularly.The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues toprovide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit outcommunication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes , and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions(区分),peaking are all clues to our social clothes hairstyles, people’s pronunciation and the number of sgroup class distinction tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.82. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because _________.A. they do not wish to talk to other peopleB. everyone else is expressionlessC. the environment is already familiar to themD. there is too much information to take in83.According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they_________.A.are likely to lead us into dangerous situationB.may make us miss some pleasant experienceC.can rarely be relied onD. make us mentally lazy84. From the passage m\we may conclude that _____________.A.stereotypes can help to understand people fully.B.people are becoming more interested in fashionC.dressing can send messages about individualsD.stereotypes can do more harm than good to peopless _______________.85. It would appear that in England, a person’s claA.might be less important in making friends in a cityB.is mainly determined by his pronunciationC.plays less of a role than it did in the past.D.is something that can be changed easily2001年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试上海英语试题第二卷（共40分）I Translation (15 points)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我们的祖国从来没有像今天这样强大。

Thesedays we need to ___32___ our strengths and constantly improve our skills. Business guru Heinz Landau suggests spending ten percent of your time on ___33___ improvement; for example, learning a language or a new computer programme. As somebody once said,‘If you work hard on your job, you can make a living. But if you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune.’2.

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.Where do new words come from? Few are purely ___41___, in the sense of being coined from a string of sounds chosen more or less at random. Most tend to be existing words given new meaning. ___42___, a word changes its parts of speech. And in some of the most creative instances, people chop words and ___43___ them to make new ones.“New Danish Words, With Origin”a book by Jorgen Norby Jensen, shows how ___44___ new Danish forms are created by Danes from Danish roots for specifically Danish circumstances. Instead, the great majority come, one way or another, from English.The ___45___ examples are those that are borrowed wholesale. Mr Jensen offers“foodie”，“selfie”，“clickbait”，“blog”and“Brexit”. Words of more exotic（国外的）origin include“emoji”and“barista”，which have their origins in Japanese and Italian. But these too, Mr Jensen writes, come through English, not ___46___ from those languages.In another category are“___47___”words and expressions that are unknown to English-speakers. Danes have long said that someone who is fresh and ready to go is“fit for fight”. Such faux-anglicisms are common in other languages too: the German Handy（mobile phone）or Kicker（table football），or the French tennisman and tenniswoman. Although linguistic（语言学的）experts in these countries ___48___ these words—it is bad enough to have to borrow English words, but even worse to counterfeit（造假）them, they cannot seem to stop them. But the book of new Danish words shows an even deeper kind of ___49___. Even where words appear Danish, they are often simply part-for-part translations of English words: vejvrede is“road rage”，undskyld mit franske is“pardon my French”，and svingvaelger,“swing voter”. This shows that globalisation is not only in the surface traffic of words, but in the deeper exchange of ___50___.This is not to say that other languages do not ___51___ coin their own words anymore. InDannish, svenskerhar and bundeslighar,“Swede hair”or“Bundesliga hair”，both refer to the cut known in English as a mullet. And curling-foraeldre,“curling parents”，is an interesting ___52___ on“helicopter parents”: rather than hovering over their children, they sweep all obstacles out of their way.So English borrowing is not entirely ___53___ native creativity, even if the heavy thumbprint of English on virtually every language in the globalized world is increasingly clear. This is not because English is particularly wonderful or flexible in itself; it is more to do with the influence of innovations from English speaking countries.It may be that the spread of concepts from English out, rather than the other way round, is in fact to the discredit of the English-speaking world. Words spread from English because people learn English; cultural secrets are more likely to be ___54___ in other cultures where outsiders cannot find them. Perhaps English speakers are the real ___55___ in this exchange.41. A. invented B. chosen C. pronounced D. known42. A. Without any reason B. On the wholeC. To some degreeD. In other cases43.

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）If you watch wolves, it’s hard to escape t he conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans. We can easily recognize the social structures in wolf packs. No wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as“alpha”males—to“wolf up”，as it were. The te rm alpha male implies a man who at every moment demonstrates that he’s in control in the home and who can become aggressive.This alpha male stereotype（固定印象）comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing. “The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park, “is a quiet confidence, quietself-assurance.”The point is, alpha males are not aggressive. There is an evolutionary logic to it.“Imagine two wolf packs, or two human tribes,” McIntyre said. “Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative, more sharing, less violent with one another, or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service. He rises early, uses radio telemetry to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member, then heads out with his spotting scope to observe the animals, keeping careful notes of their activities. In all that time, he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack’s other members.This does not mean that alpha males are not tough when they need to be. One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number, 21, became his name, was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed the arc of his life. He was fierce in defense of family and apparently never lost a fight with a rival pack. Yet within his own pack, one of his favorite things was to wrestle with little wolves and to pretend to lose.One year, a pup was a bit sickly. The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn’t play with him. Once, after delivering food for the small pups, 21 stood looking around for something. Soon he started wagging his tail. He’d been looking for the sickly little pup, and he went over just to hang out with him for a while.Of all McIntyre’s stories about the super wolf, that’s his favorite. Strength impresses us. But kindness is what we remember best.56. What do people usually think of“alpha males”?A. They are the group of wolves that resemble humans most.B. They are dominant not only at home but also away from home.C. They are fond of fighting against pressure from opponents.D. They are a necessary part of humans’social structures.57. McIntyre is quoted in paragraph 5 in order to ______.A. show alpha male wolves’ characteristic helps their packs surviveB. prove cooperative wolves are more likely to be alpha male wolvesC. stress that being willing to share is what wolves have in commonD. illustrate than an alpha male wolf is born to be touch and aggressive58. After a wolf pack gets a prey（猎物），what will an alpha male wolf most likely do?A. Compete with other pack membersB. Keep it in a place unknown to his packC. Wait until his pack has eaten and is fullD. Make sure that no pack member eats it alone59. It is 21’s _____ that will leave McIntyre and the w riter a lasting impression.A. attackB. defenseC. strengthD. kindness（B）Dear Thomas and Luke,Thanks for your question. First of all, I should mention that not all birds have their eyes on the sides of their heads. Pigeons, parrots and sparrows do, but other birds, such as owls and hawks, have large eyes placed close together at the front of their heads.Whether they have eyes at the front or on the sides of their heads, all birds can still see straight ahead. But that doesn’t mean all birds see things in the same way. In fact, where a bird’s eyes are on its head can tell us a lot about how it sees the world.Where a bird’s eyes are on its head affects its field of vision—that’s how much it can see in front and to the side at any one time. Think about how far you can see to either side without turning your head: these are the limits of your own field of vision.Because owls have eyes at the front of their heads, they have a smaller field of vision—around 150 degrees for a barn owl.Parrots, pigeons and other birds with eyes on the sides of their heads have a much bigger field of vision, of about 300 degrees. Amazingly, this means that they can see in front and a long way to the side, at the same time.Where the eyes are placed decides how a bird views its surroundings using different types of vision. Binocular vision means both eyes focus on the same object at the same time, and eye movement is coordinated—this is the kind of vision that predatory birds such as owls rely on most. Monocular vision means each eye is focused on a different object at any particular moment, and this is normal for parrots and pigeons. Having different kinds of vision helps different kinds of birds survive in the wild.For parrots and pigeons, having eyes on the sides of their heads is a huge advantage. Having a wider field of vision with only a small blind spot behind them lets these birds see where they are going, while also keeping an eye out for predators which might be trying to attack them.For predatory raptors such as barn owls, having forward-facing eyes helps them to see depth and distance much more clearly, since both eyes can focus on the same object at the same time. This is perfect for spotting and catching small prey such as field mice.So though it might s eem like birds with eyes on the side of their heads can’t see where they are going, they can see forward and sideways at the same time, and in fact can see much more than those with eyes facing forwards.60. Which of the following is most likely to be Tho mas and Luke’s question?A. Which kind of birds can see farthest than others?B. Do birds see with their eyes, like we do, or with something else.C. Bird’s eyes are on the side so how do they see where they’re going?D. Birds have eyes that vary in size so why can they see to either side?61. The picture on the right shows _____ field of vision.A. parrots’B. pigeons’C. sparrows’D. owls’62. Which of the following statements is true of the birds that have eyes on the sides?A. They can focus on two things at the same time.B. They have a relatively bigger blind spot behind.C. They can see either see forward or sideways at a time.D. They are better at locating and catching small animals.（C）Monstrous oceanic waves are able to transport boulders（巨石）weighing hundreds of tonnes. The finding helps explain how huge rocks end up atop high cliffs and also implies that storm waves can be more powerful and dangerous than previously thought.Until recently, the heaviest rock known to have been transported by waves was about 200 tonnes. Now Ronadh Cox of Williams College in Massachusetts and her colleagues have found a new record holder: a 620-tonne boulder, equivalent to roughly three Statues of Liberty.Cos found the boulder on the west coast of Ireland. The region was struck by some huge storms during the winter of 2013-2014. When she and her team examined photographs taken before and after the storms, they found the massive boulder had been moved about 2.5 metres.Many researchers didn’t think such heav y boulders could be moved by storm waves, says Cox.“Calculations and force-balancing equations suggested that storm waves did not have sufficient power, so there were people who argued strongly that only tsunamis were capable of moving such huge blocks,”sh e says.However, advances in buoy technology（浮标技术）are making possible more detailed measurements of storm waves, and we now know they can produce huge forces.“It’s fun to show that these giant boulders were moved around during storms, and to imagine the wild energy of the waves,”Cox says.Perhaps the most important part of the new work is its application to assessing dangers caused by waves to coastal areas. The team tracked not only the biggest boulders, but also the distribution of more than a thousand sm aller boulders at many sites along Ireland’s western coast. Cox says the pattern of boulder movements is a guide to the kinds of wave forces that Ireland’s coast, and other like it, might face during future storms.In December, Ireland’s Environmental Prot ection Agency published a report suggesting that storms may become more intense because of climate change; therefore, knowing just how powerful waves can be may prove vital for protecting coastlines where people are living.“A wave that can move a 600-tonn e rock can also move anything else that’s 600 tonnes,”says Cox.“And if storminess increases, as it may well with climate change, then that kind of wave power, currently occurring on remote, exposed coastlines, might be coming to coastlines that do not curr ently experience it.”Cox says it is unlikely the 620-tonne boulder is the biggest object that ocean waves can move. There are boulders in the study area that are even heavier and they bear signs of wave transport. However, they didn’t move during the storms in question, so we don’t yet have definitive evidence that waves can move them.63. What did Cox and her colleagues find?A. High cliffs were mysteriously under water for some time.B. The west coast of Ireland has suffered from more frequent storms.C. A boulder of 200 tonnes was transported by waves to a distant spot.D. A boulder thought too heavy to move traveled a certain distance.64. According to Cox, which of the following is also worth looking at?A. Where boulders arriveB. Where people want to liveC. How high the temperature will beD. How coastlines can defend storms65. It can be inferred from the passage that Cox’s research and finding is especially meaningful now because _____.A. climate change leads to stronger stormsB. buoy technology needs more applicationsC. heavier tocks are potential dangers to touristsD. more people are choosing to live in coastal areas66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Why are boulders traveling in a new direction?B. The biggest ever boulder moving aroundC. Let the boulders fall where they may beD. Boulders: a sign of climate changeSection CDirections：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentencesHow and when should I exercise?The benefits of exercise have been duly noted and your resolutions have been made. Yes, you want to be fit and live a long and healthy life. ___67___According to standard advice issued by the World Health Organization, adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week to extend their lives, get fit, have stronger muscles and be a healthy weight. If that didn’t already sound a lot, the WHO ways to double that if you want to get further benefits.The good news for those who dislike sports is that it’s possible to stick to these guidelines without entering a gym or breaking into a jog. ___68___This idea fits with evidence from a study last year of more than 130,000 people in 17 countries, which found that walking to work and housework such as vacuuming or mopping the floor are activities enough to reduce the risk of early death by 28 per cent, as long as you do 150 minutes a week. If you aren’t one for housework, you will be pleased to hear that your weekly amount of exercise can be put into the weekend with no ill effects, says Gray O’Donovan of Loughborough University, UK. ___69___ But his team analysed data from more than 63,000 adults in the UK covering 18 yea rs and found that people who favoured a“weekend fighter”plan had pretty much the same reduced risk of early death from all causes as those who spread out exercise.“One weekly exercise is usually sufficient to reduce mortality and morbidity（死亡率和发病率），”O’ Donovan says. Even weekend fighters who did less than the recommended amount for the week fared better than inactive people.___70___“No level of exercise is too much,”says O’Donovan.“There’s no increase in mortality or morbidity if you keep increasing the amount.”Just don’t go too hard each time.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections：Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The end of books? Perhaps notA major online bookseller recently announced that sales of ebooks are now worth more than sales of traditional paperback and hardback combined. So does this mean the end of the traditional paper novel as we know it?I love the availability of ebooks, the fact that within one device, I can be recommended a book that I’ll most likely enjoy, order it and start reading it, all in a matter of minutes. I no longer have to spend hours walking along endless shelves in a book shop, trying to decide whether I’l l actually enjoy the book I’ve chosen. It’s easier to travel light nowadays, too, as I just carry hundreds of books round with me in one simple device.But does this really mean the book is dead? I don’t think so. After all, the same thing was said about the rise of television, and radio before that. In fact, as far back as 1835, Theophile Gautier, in his novel Mademoiselle de Maupin, declared,“The newspaper is killing the books, as the book killed architecture.”You see, the traditional book is a tough character. There’s something almost romantic about it, whether it’s the smell of its pages, or the way it’s like a trusty friend that fits reassuringly under your arm on the train or bus, which tells the world a little about you by its cover. It can be an old friend that we return to when we’re feeling down, and our bookshelves stand as a kind of history of our lives, with each faded cover holding memories and pleasures unique to each of us.What the online bookseller didn’t mention when reporting their sales f igures is that sales of paperback and hardback books are also rising, and that this particular bookseller, while huge, has only 19% of the overall market for novels. Of course, the ebook is going to have its place in the future, but it will simply become another form of media we comet to enjoy.Ⅴ. TranslationDirections：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 电池使用前必须充电。

Note that there is one word moreForests in the northern half of the globe could be growing faster now than they were 200 years ago as a result of climate change, according to a study of trees in eastern America. The trees appear to have faster growth rates due to longer growing seasons and higher concentrations (浓度) of carbon dioxide in the ___41 .Geoffrey Parker, a scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre in Edgewater. Maryland, said that the increase ha the rate of growth was unexpected and might be 42 to the higher temperatures and longer growing seasons documented in the region. The growth may also be influenced by the significant 43 in atmospheric CO2,he said."We made a list of reasons these forests could be growing faster and then excluded half of them," Dr Parker said. Their study suggests that northern forests may become increasingly important in 44 the influence of man-made CO2 on the climate.Dr Parker and his colleagues have 45 out a detailed record of the trees on a(n) 46 basis since 1987. They calculated that due to the global warming the forest is producing 47 tons of wood each year.The scientists _ 48 _ the land with trees at different stages of growth and found that both young and old trees were showing increased growth rate. More than 90 per cent of the tree groups had grown by between two and four times faster than the scientists had 49 from estimates of the long-term rates of growth.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.The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem anatural part of the writing 50 .What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the out-of-town previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, when Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. 52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving purpose, or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. 56 , it is a major stage of the writing process, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to 57 . topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 . Always make time to become your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you 60 new ideas.Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions, inferences -- that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many 64 details that may confuse readers?50. A. technique B. style C. process D. career51. A. in particular B. as a result C. for example D. in other words52. A. undergone B. skipped C. rejected D. replaced53. A. rewrote B. released C. recorded D. reserved54. A. addition B. response C. opposition D. contrast55. A. fixed B. ambitious C. familiar D. fresh56. A. However B. Moreover C. Instead D. Therefore57. A. discuss B. switch C. exhaust D. cover58. A. drafting B. rearranging C. performing D. tra ining59. A. director B. master C. audience D. visitor60.

A. unnecessary B. uninteresting C. concrete D. finalSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach 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 elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village whe re they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!65. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .A. get long lasting excitementB. keep both man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers67. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper.It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.69. The research paper published is primarily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turnoverB. methods of improving employee performanceC. factors affecting employee turnover and performanceD. pay structures based on employee performance70. As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enoughC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is out-of-date71. Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A. Job hunters.B. Employees in blue-chip companies.C. Mid-level managers.D. Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added - a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a so lar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72. The phrase "communications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers toduring the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _ _A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each76 .Nowadays. millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs. Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2% ofthe population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically. 77.NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world. They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives. Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptomsand become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78.Nevertheless. overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concern. Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women. 79.Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instruction for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.80.Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged overIn general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twice as likely to become addicted. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程)， but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the c urriculum,the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) 81.

They believe “A foreign language is a weapon in the struggle of life”, Others consider English useless.They feel learning English is nothing but a burden to them.In my opinion, English is one of the most important subjects we learn at school.Of all subjects I like English best.There are several reasons why English is my favorite subject.First, English is one of the most widely used languages of the world. Nearly all information on the Internet and over half of the world’s technical materials are in English, thus a good command of English will greatly benefit me in my work. Secondly，it is believed that good English also leads to greater chances and opportunities. In the competition for a well-paid job, the one who can speak Englishhas an advantage over those who cannot.For all these reasons we should not only learn English but master it in the shortest time possible.

上海市高考英语阅读理解试题(含答案)

上海市高考英语阅读理解试题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Babies born in summer are more likely to become short-sighted in late life, a study has shown. As many as a quarter of all cases of short-sightedness are caused by too great an exposure to sunlight in the first weeks of life, say eye experts.They are advising all parents to put sunglasses on their babies during the first weeks. Scientists had already established that over-exposure to sunlight caused shortsightedness in animals.Researchers who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on say the principle also applies to humans.A study of almost 300, 000 young adults-the largest of its kind-showed that those born in June and July had a 25 per cent greater chance of becoming severely short-sighted than those born in December or January.Research leader Professor Michael Belkin, of Tel Aviv University, said it was because prolonged illumination(光照) causes the eyeball to lengthen-causing short-sightedness.Hence the more light a newborn is exposed to, the more the eyeball lengthens and the worse the short-sightedness will be.The mechanism which lengthens the eyeball is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素), a pigment (色素) which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.In young babies not enough melatonin is released as protection, meaning they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes to eyeball shape.Sight expert Professor Daniel O'Leary, of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, said "At the moment we don't know the precise cause of why light exposure affects sight, but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted."（1）Babies born in summer are more likely to be shortsighted ____________.A. because the summer sun is too strong for babiesB. because babies born in summer have lengthened eyeballsC. if they are exposed too much sunlight in the first weeks after they are born D if parents don't know a proper way to protect their babies' eyes（2）Melatonin is a kind of material to ___________.A. prevent the eyes from becoming near-sightedB. protect the skin from harmful sun raysC. make our body strongD. protect babies' eyes from summer sun（3）From what Professor Daniel O'Leary says we can conclude that ___________.A. there is no evidence that shortsightedness is related to exposure to sunlightB. whether light exposure affects sight still needs to be further provedC. he believes that light exposure can cause shortsightednessD. he tries to give the cause of why light exposure affects sight（4）The underlined word "vulnerable" in the passage probably means __________.A. easy to be harmedB. resistantC. protectiveD. changeable【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明在夏季出生的婴儿长大后更容易成为近视眼，眼科专家称多达四分之一的近视眼病例是由于在出生后前几周里暴露阳光太久造成。
