上海市闵行区七宝中学2021届高三上学期10月月考英语试题一、完形填空Biodiversity is a concept that's commonly referenced, yet regularly misunderstood. The complex1.not only refers to the unbelievable variety of life on Earth, but to how everything from genes to entire ecosystems interact to make the planet habitable. The bad news: science shows that biodiversity is 2.worldwide at a faster rate than at any time in human history. That’s obviously devastating for everything in nature--including us.“If biodiversity disappears, so do people,” says Dr. Stephen Woodley, field ecologist and bio-diversity expert with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “We are part of the 3.and we do not exist without it.”Preventing such a catastrophe, says Woodley, begins with understanding why biodiversity is declining, and then taking action to 4.course.“The two greatest 5.of biodiversity loss are habitat loss, primarily on land, and overexploitation, primarily in the ocean,” Woodley says. He explains that w e can solve these problems by permanently6.more lands and oceans and managing them for their conservation values.That's the mission of the global Campaign for Nature, a partnership of the Wyss Foundation and the National Geographic Society. Instead of simply protecting 30 percent of the Earth, the 7.also encourages nations, in full partnership with local communities, to focus on the right 30 percent. Those areas, says Woodley,8.the most important biodiversity, such as endangered species and ecosystems and rare species and ecosystems.The campaign also recognizes the importance of 9.local rights. Local peoples manage or hold tenure(保有权) over lands that support about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, making it 10.for these communities to be full partners in developing and implementing strategies.11., protecting the health of key biodiversity areas is vital for tackling climate change, says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala. Pairing the international Paris Agreement to combat climate change, Sala's paper asserts, “would 12.catastrophic(灾难性的) climate change, conserve species, and secure essential ecosystem services.”“Biodiversity is stability,” says Sala. “Trees, wetlands, grasslands, p eat bogs(泥炭沼泽), salt marshes(盐沼), healthy ocean ecosystems, mangroves(红树林), and plants 13.much of the carbon pollution humans put into the atmosphere. Yet, right now, less than half of the planet is in its natural state, which isn't enough.” Bottom line: Nature needs us to act-now. “Moving to Mars is not a(n) 14.,” Sala adds. “The only conditions for our life and for the prosperity of human society are here on Earth ...we are 15.protecting it.”1.A.argument B.term C.structure D.problem2.A.altering B.developing C.stabilizing D.worsening3.A.ecosystem B.threat C.cycle D.procedure4.A.affect B.change C.reverse D.continue5.A.aspects B.causes C.consequences D.occasions6.A.acquiring B.protecting C.exploiting D.possessing7.A.management B.announcement C.campaign D.competition8.A.consume B.destroy C.lose D.contain9.A.denying B.enjoying C.ignoring D.respecting10.A.essential B.simple C.temporary D.profitable11.A.Besides B.However C.Thus D.Otherwise12.A.witness B.detect C.confirm D.avoid13.A.measure B.absorb C.survive D.prevent14.A.mission B.decision C.option D.exploration15.A.worried about B.confident in C.responsible for D.good at二、阅读理解The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When 1 stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during“club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a, journalist by profession.Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn't have become & reporter. She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.16.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.B.The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.C.Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.D.The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about.17.Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?A.Stepping on the American soil for the first time.B.Being exposed to Greek literary works.C.Her mother's miserable death.D.Following the prettiest girl in his class.18.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 thatA.Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.B.Miss Hurd's contribution was recognized across the nation.C.Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd's teaching style.D.The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired.19.What is the text mainly about?A.How the author became a journalist.B.The importance of inspiration in one's life.C.The teacher who shaped the author's life.D.Factors contributing to a successful career.HOW TO GET THEREBA and Royal Jordanian airlines fly direct between London Heathrow and Jordan’s capital city Amman (from £435; rj. com). Flight time is five hours.HOW TO GET AROUNDJordan is a joyfully easy country to travel around, in part due to its small size. You could drive from top to bottom in little over five hours if you wanted to. The national bus company has services between the main towns, and limited options to Petra and the Dead Sea. For full flexibility, you're better off hiring a car—roads are in good condition, and other drivers tend to be less manic (not stand up to free use of the car horn) compared to other countries in the Middle East. The traffic in Amman makes it frustrating, and nerve-wracking, to navigate, so pick up and drop off y our car at the airport, a little outside of the city. The usual suspects have offices there (week’s hire from £235; hertz. jo).HOW LONG TO SPENDGiven the short travel times between major sites, you could feasibly whip around Jordan in little under a week, spending a night in each location. However, it’s important to factor in the weather: your pace will slow in high temperatures, and you’ll find many Jordanians sensibly spending the hottest part of the day indoors, indulging in a long lunch. You’ll also want to devote a proper amount of time to each location: two or three nights in each of Petra and Wadi Rum will allow you to get to a few less explored corners, while two nights in Amman and one each at the Dead Sea and hot springs is about right. If you add in a side trip for some diving in the Red Sea, two weeks is plenty.WHAT TO BUDGETStaying in budget guesthouses, eating only from markets and street stalls, and using public transport, you could survive in Jordan on around £40 per day. Factor in a midrange hotel, car hire, guided tours and meals in local restaurants, and the figure could rise to £100-plus a day. The national currency is the dinar(第纳尔), and is available from ATMs at all the main sites.WHEN TO GOHigh season is September to October and March to May, when the weather is warm but bearable. Note that price hikes are common in this period, and hotels get booked far in advance. One of the most pleasant times to visitis winter, from November to February, though be aware the desert gets very cold at night during this period. If you can take the extreme temperatures of summer, it can be an excellent time to travel, with fewer tourists around.HOW TO PLANSee Lonely Planet’s Jordan and the Jordan tourist board’s official site, , w hich has a wealth of information on general travel in the region and specific sites.20.Which of the following statements is True about travelling in Jordan according to the passage?A.Drivers in Jordan use car horn more freely than those in other countries.B.It's better to drive your own car since the traffic in Amman is frustrating.C.Weather should be taken into consideration when you arrange holiday.D.Diving in Red Sea is a must if you plan to travel in Jordan for one week.21.Which factor is NOT related with the budget according to the passage?A.To choose what kind hotels.B.To eat what kind of food.C.Whether to use cash or not.D.When to travel in Jordan.22.The word “hikes” in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by the word “”.A.declines B.rises C.varies D.collapsesFirst two hours, now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention making people angry.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA.Passengers who pass a background check are qualifies to use expedited (加速的) screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pays 85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.23.The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to .A.stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwideB.highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. airportsC.explain American's tolerance of current security checksD.emphasize the importance of privacy protection24.Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?A.Frequent unexpected secret checks.B.New restrictions on carry-on bags.C.The declining efficiency of the TSA.D.An increase in the number of travellers.25.One problem with the PreCheck program is .A.a dramatic reduction of its scaleB.its wrongly-directed implementationC.govemment’s reluctance to back itD.an unreasonable price for enrollment26.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Less Screening for More SafetyB.PreCheck-a Belated SolutionC.Getting Stuck in Security LineD.Underused PreCheck Lanes三、书面表达27.Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________四、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born. Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which comes true because many of the programs cost nothing to make. At some point, the television viewers are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called “rubbish TV” and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was described as “against human rights and civilization”.57. Those who take part in the reality TV shows are usually _____.A. common peopleB. pop TV starsC. attractive peopleD. famous film stars58. Who would pay for the cost of the reality TV shows according to the passage?A. TV producers who make reality TV showsB. TV actors who take part in reality TV showsC. TV viewers who telephone reality TV showsD. TV companies which broadcast reality TV shows59. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. Everyone is happy about reality TVB. Reality TV makes big profits in many countriesC. All the people in Europe are in favor of reality TVD. Reality TV will not be broadcast in any countries(B)(You may read the questions first)60.The main purpose of writing these three texts is _______.A.to invite people to see filmsB.to invite people to topic discussionsC.to attract more students to attend lecturesD.to attract more people to watch TV programs61.Who will be most probably interested in Discovery?A.Parents who want to send their children to a school of medicineB.Children who are good at mathematicsC.Parents who want their child to become another Albert EinsteinD.Children who are interested in playing chess62.In Science / Health, “Johns Hopkins” is ________.A.a famous university B.a medical center C.a well-known doctor D.a drug company(C)Stone Hill Mall has fewer large department stores than most malls but, instead, features more than 100 small specialty shops, while the few that are not used yet will be filled as soon as the mall’s owners find proprietors(业主) who fit the mall’s image.One thing that makes Stone Hill Mall popular was that all of the stores remain open from 9 a.m. until 10 ., Monday through Friday. This favorable start has certainly been advantageous thanks to such features as its being the only shopping center in the area to provide free baby-sitting for children from two to eight years old and its offering restaurants to suit every pocket, with the possible exception of the highly budget-conscious. Furthermore, as far as movie entertainment is concerned, Stone Hill Mall tops Westgate Mall, which looked impressive when it opened last year, with three separate cinemas.Besides, the air-conditioning system makes sure a comfortable inside temperature of 25 degrees centigrade no matter what the weather is like outside., and in addition to its three beautiful fountains, the mall has a quiet garden area with comfortable benches and chairs for shoppers who have become tired.One complaint about Stone Hill Mall is that it is located outside the city, but there is a regular bus service between the mall and the city center. A further complaint might be that, although the mall is surrounded by trees to mix it with the scenery, It will be some years before these can effectively make the main building and the vast buildings and the vast parking lot a part of the area around.63.Stone Hill Mall is different from other malls because it has ______.A. more large department storesB. more empty space to rentC. many shops selling special goodsD. shops selling expensive goods64.Stone Hill Mall is popular with shoppers mainly because of its_____.A. long business hoursB. attractive restaurantsC. children’s storesD. entertainment facilities65.What makes Stone Hill Mall a more favorable shopping place is ____.A. the prices in the shopsB. the weather in the areaC. the children facilitiesD. the conditions inside the mall66.The main purpose of the passage is to_____.pare Stone Hill Mall with other shopping centersB.introduce the unique features of the mallC.discuss its strengths and weaknessesD.draw attention to the inadequacies of the shopping centers(D)What would you think if you went back to school on Monday and there were no desks or chairs in your classroom? That’s what some fourth-and-fifth-graders at a school in Minnesota discovered earlier this year when they took part in a research project to see if changing their classrooms would make them more active.Researchers from the Mayo Clinic were concerned about reports that as many as half of the American kids could be seriously overweight--- or obese—by the year 2020. So they set up a different kind of classroom, which you might see in the future.Instead of desks, the Elton Hills Elementary students had adjustable work stations where they could stand, kneel on mats or sit on big exercise balls. Students were given laptops and iPods that allowed them to move and learn at the same time.Sensors(传感器) were attached to the kids’ legs to calculate how many calories students burned in their new set-up. Their typical school day was probably not anything like yours. One group of student downloaded an audio(声音的)file of their teacher reading a book; they listened to it while walking for exercise. Another group took a spelling test by listening to their iPods.Some students liked the freedom, but others missed the traditional classroom.“I don’t like standing up,” Mariah Matrious said. “My legs get tired, and I like sitting down.”So, did the experiment work? Researchers still are studying the data, but early results indicate that the kids did move around more in the new classroom.“It showed us that, given the opportunity to move, kids will move,” said research Lorraine Lanningham-Foster.That’s important because studies have shown that even simple movement –climbing stairs instead of taking an elevator, for example, or washing dishes by hand instead of loading the dishwasher- can be as important as formal exercise when it comes to controlling one’s weight.67.The school in Minnesota carried out the research _______.A.to punish the badly performed studentsB.to prevent children from being too fatC.to spare a lot of money for the stateD.to meet the need of different children68.The newly designed classroom are different from the traditional ones EXCEPT that______.A.there were no desks and chairsB.the students in different groups are given different tasksC.the students can move and learn at the same timeD.teachers don’t necessarily instruct the students69.According to Lorraine Lanningham-Foster, ______.A.Not everyone liked the freedom of this new styleB.the students should be taught without classroomC.the research got some expected resultsD.the experiment needs further change70.What would be the best title for the passage?A.No desks or chairs in the classroomB.School takes a stand against obesityC.New classroom in the futureD.Washing dishes by hand in the classroom第二卷翻译和写作(共22分)Translation 12% (1-3句每句2分,4,5 两句每句3分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 再尽力些,你就会妄图成真。

How about a :replenishment controller”?Don't worry if you don't understand what these two job titles are- 22 would most native English speakers. But thanks to 23 UK company, we know that these titles from two job adverts mean “teacher” and “shelf stacker(货架整理员)”The Plain English Campaign(PEC) 24 (work) since 1979 to rid the UK of over-complicated language. It’s aim is to make English as clear as possible for members of the public.

It should be articulated(表达)veryc learly,” Steve Jenner, PEC spo kesman, told the BBC.According to the Guardian, some of 28 (unusual) workplace Jargons include “blue-sky thinking”-meaning open-minded planning-”touch base offline”-meaning to meet and talk 29 person-and “don’t let the grass grow too long”-which is another way of asking someone to work faster.But it’s not just documents and workplace language 30 the PEC targets. Every year, it nominates public fi gures for it’s “Foot in Mouth award”. To put one’s mouth is a phrase that means to say someth ing foolish. For the last two years, US president Donald Trump has features on the list.“Trump is notoriously(极度地)generous when it comes to providing memorable nonsense,” the PEC wrote on its website. “He seemed to say something daft every f ew days during his campaign for the Republication Presidential candidacy.”解析:21.主要和动词原形之间在语法填空部分只能是情态动词,根据语义“认为自己的语言技艺很好”应该对应的意思是“可能”,为情态动词may;22.该空格后面是助动词和主语的倒装形式,很明显应该填写一个否定词语,根据前句不懂得两个职位名称表明的否定,应该是填写nor/neither;to是介词短语后面加上名词或者名词短语,根据句意填写的是不定冠词结合Uk开头字母发辅音填写“a”;对应时态是现在完成时,结合英国语言的改革这个动作仍然在进行并没有终止,现在完成进行时才能表达过去发生的动作现在仍然进行并产生影响,答案是has been working;指代PEC这个机构对应的make构成主动关系,并且逗号之间没有连接词,需要使用非谓语动词,答案是making;26.空格前后都是两句完整句子,因此填写连词,构成的是因果关系,因此选用because;为及物动词,句子中明显缺少宾语,因此选用的连接词需要能够充当宾语,只能填写what;28.该句子暗含范围在所有的工作术语中,因此应该选用最高级-the most unusual;person=personally;很明显动词,表示目标在于为及物动词,宾语是前句中的not just documents and workplace language,该句子成分完整,对应的是强调句结构-it is +被强调部分+that句子剩余部分。

Even worse, it ___41___ our kids.Al Gore famously ___42___ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, ___43___ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When ___44___ with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This ___45___ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, ___46___, on global warming's impact on malaria (疟疾)----which will put slightly more people at ___47___in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people ___48___ from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the public's ___49___ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A ___50___ of people now believe – incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the ___51___ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes – particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal ___52___ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are ___53___ effective outlets for their eight-year-olds' concern with dying polar bears.

There is no convincing scientific evidence, the experts argued, that playing brain games improves cognitive abilities in everyday life.Two years later, another team of psychologists reviewed every scientific study cited by major brain training companies (48)________ their products.

(15’)Merely hear the Arctic Circle lie some countries struggling through the long winter days, with almost nothing in sight except the marvelous natural scenery. Therefore no elsewhere in the world, Iceland may be referred to as Western Europe's last unexplored wilderness. But the truth is, once you're off the 41______ track of low-lying coastal areas where everyone lives the road are few, and they are all bad, so Iceland's natural wonders have been out of 42______ and unknown even to its own 43_______. For them the land has always just been there, something that had to be dealt with and, if possible,44______the mind-set of land as commodity rather than land as, well, priceless art on the scale of the "Mona Lisa".When the opportunity arose in 2013 for the natural power company to enter into a 40-year45_______with the American aluminum(铝) company Alcoa to supply hydro-electric- power for new smelter (冶炼厂), those who had been dreaming of something like this for decades 46________ the opportunity. For long time, life here had meant little more than hut, dark all winter, cold, no hope, children dying left and right, plagues, starvation, volcanoes erupting and destroying all vegetation and livestock, all spirit---a world 47______almost entirely around the welfare of one's sheep and, later, on how good thefish-catching was. In the remote regions, it still largely does.It seemed that the Alcoa project was intended to save one of these dying regions--- the remote and thinly-populated east---where the way of life had steadily 48______ to a point of desperation and gloom. After fishing quotas were 49______ in the early 1980s to protect fish stocks, many individual boat owners sold their shares or gave them away, fishing rightsdrained away even more jobs previously done by human hands, and the people were seeing everything that they had worked for all their lives turn out to be 51______ and their children move away. With the old way of life bound to die, aluminum projects like this one had come to be perceived, wisely or not, as a last chance, "Smelter or death."The contract with Alcoa would integrate the region with foreign 52______, an estimated 400 jobs, and spin-off service industries. It also was a way for Iceland to develop expertise that 53______ could be sold to the rest of the world and54______ an economy historically dependent on fish.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.High-end taxi services are widely used in big cities across China.

CThe world economy in the ninth century had two powerful engines. One was Tang dynasty China, an empire 1 (stretch)from the South China Sea to the borders of Persia, with ports open to foreign traders from far and wide. The Tang welcomed diverse people to its capital, Changan, the site of modern-day Xian, and multiethnic groups lived side by side in a city of a million—a population unmatched by a Western city until London 2 the early 19th century. Then, just 3 it is today, China was an economic powerhouse—and much of that power 4 (build) on trade.The other economic engine 5 (be) Baghdad, capital of the Abbasid dynasty from 762 onward. That dynasty inherited the Muslim world in the Middle East; by 750 it had spread as far as the Indus River to the east and Spain to the west, 6 (bring) with it trade, commerce, and the religion of Islam the Prophet Muhammad himself had been a merchant).7 (link) the two economic powerhouses were the Silk Road and its watery counterpart, the Maritime Silk Route. The overland road gets all the attention, but ships had likely been plying the seas between China and the Persian Gulf since the time of Christ. In tune with the cycle of the monsoon winds, this network of sea-lanes and harbors 8 (bind) East and West in a continuous exchange of goods and ideas.Keys: Stretching 考查非谓动词until as was built must bringing Linking bound难度中等,连接,结合,使关系密切(1)Received Pronunciation, or RP for short, is the instantly recognizable accent often described as ‘typically British’. Popular terms for this accent, such as ‘The Queen’s English’, ‘Oxford English’or ‘BBC English’are all a little misleading. The Queen’s English, for instance, speaks an almost ____1____ form of English, while the English we hear at Oxford University or on the BBC is no longer ____2____ to one type of accent. RP is an accent, not a dialect, since all RP speakers speak Standard English. In other words, they ____3____ non-standard grammatical constructions and localized vocabulary characteristic of regional dialects. RP is also regionally non-specific, that is it does not contain any ____4____ about a speaker’s geographic background. But it does ____5____ a great deal about their social or educational background.Like any other accent, RP has also changed over the course of time. The voices we ____6____ with early BBC broadcasts, for instance, now sound extremely old-fashioned to most. Just as RP is constantly ____7____, so our attitudes towards the accent are changing. For much of the twentieth century, RP ____8____ the voice of education, authority, social status and economicpower. In recent years, however, as a result of ____9____ social change, virtually every accent is represented in all walks of life. As a result, fewer younger speakers with regional accents consider it necessary to adapt their speech to the same ____10____. Indeed many commentators even suggest that younger RP speakers often go to great lengths to disguise their middle-class accent by incorporating regional features into their speech.【答案】1.B 难度一般,独一无二的意思2.J:be restricted to局限于,受限制于3.K4.A clues 线索,蛛丝马迹5.F6.D:associate with与...有关7.H8.I9.C 为形容词,继续的,持久的10.E(2)We all know the daily recommendations of healthy consumption They include getting as many servings of fruits and vegetables as possible. Sometimes by trying to ____1____ this healthy lifestyle, we actually unknowingly ____2____ ourselves. Reaching those servings of raw foods can seem a bit tricky, and we often simply throw a few fruits into our lunch or dinner i order to reach our daily ____3____. unfortunately, though, mixing fruits with other types of foods can produce ____4____ effects.The most important rule when consuming fruits is to ____5____ eating fruits with meals or directly after. Digestively speaking, fruits will cause ____6____ to your insides because the enzymes(酶) of the fruits break down much quicker than most other foods. If the fruits are eaten after dinner, for example, they will have digested much ____7____ than the rest of the foods sitting in the stomach, but they will not be able to pass through so the fruits will begin essentially rotting. This creates ____8____, and an otherwise unbalanced digestion. Typically most fruits(aside from bananas which takes about 45 minutes) ____9____ simple sugars and so fully digest within half an hour or even less. Other foods that contain during or after meals will ____10____ the foods to mix, ultimately leaving the fruits to ferment(发酵) and even rot as they wait to be digested together with the other foods. In this case all the nutrients will have been a waste, which is ____11____ to the purpose of consuming the fruits.It is evident that fruits can be more ____12____, just like vitamins, depending on how you consume it. Ideally, fruits should be consumed on an empty stomach. Not only will this ____13____ the body’s natural blood sugar levels, it will ____14____ digestion, and the greatest reception of the fruits’nutrients. It is also suggested to eat fruits throughout the morning to stabilize the body’s natural energy and balance out of the state of hunger while ____15____ the digestive system for the rest of the day.()1.A.follow B.change C.monitor D.receive()2.A.annoy B.disturb C.hinder D.block()3.A.routine B.lifestyle C.goal D.destination ()4.A.unwanted B.unbelievable C.undiscovered D.unknown()5.A.try B.avoid C.deny D.doubt()6.A.distress B.destruction C.damage D.trouble()7.A.slower B.faster C.earlier D.better()8.A.discomfort B.disapproval C.disadvantage D.distinction()9.A.include B.consume pose D.contain()10.A.make B.cause C.enable D.gather()11.A.opposite B.contrast C.opposed D.contrary()12.A.delicious B.healthy C.beneficial D.nutritious()13.A.raise B.balance C.disturb D.stimulate()14.A.insure B.assure C.confirm D.ensure()15.A.initiating B.originating C.pioneering D.functioning【答案】1.A:follow this healthy lifestyle追崇这种健康的生活方式2.C hinder sb 妨碍某人annoy sb 惹烦某人disturb sb 打搅某人,根据此处上下文,我们在追崇这种健康的生活方式,不经意间反而妨碍了自己的生活。
