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.When Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to accept her best actress Oscar one year, her pink princess-like Dior dress (21)__________ (capture) in all its glory. The unscripted moment became hot topic throughout social media.That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world's global events is priceless for the likes of Dior, one of the (22)__________ (influential) fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years (23)__________ (come). The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Awards ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands (24)__________ the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. (25)__________ Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn’t include the time (26)__________ (devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet. Lawrence, 23, had an advertising contract with Dior. (27)__________ the group’s deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report. That year, the group clothing section's profits (28)__________ (total) 165 million euros, up 26 percent from the previous year.Heston, the founder of a publicity firm, (29)__________ success stories include introducing Jimmy Choo shoes and designer Saab to Hollywood, believes that the Oscar red carpet is today dominated by established luxury brands. Finding it much more difficult to compete with big brand names to dress super stars on big events, many young designers turn to (30)__________ (bet) on promising rising stars, expecting an overnight success if the young stars rise to sudden fame.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. involveB. strategicallyC. delicateD. shameE. weaknessesF. sensitivityG. superiorH. occasionalI. encounterJ. cluesK. collapseFor several decades, various types of artificial intelligence kept shocking the world. Robots could ___31___ people in highly competitive games and then quickly destroyed their human competitors.AI long ago mastered chess, the Chinese board game Go and even the Rubik’s cube, which it managed to solve in just 0.38 second.Now machines have a new game that will allow them to ___32___ humans: Jenga, the popular game in which players ___32___ remove pieces from an increasingly unstable tower of 54 blocks, placing each one on top until the entire structure would ___34___ .A newly released video from MIT shows a robot developed by the school’s engineers playing the game with surprising accuracy. The machine is equipped with a soft gripper (夹子), a force-sensing wrist and an external camera, allowing the robot to detect the tower’s ___35___ the way a human might do.Unlike in purely recognitive tasks or games such as chess or Go, playing the game of Jenga also requires mastery of physical acts such as pushing, pulling, placing, and arranging pieces. It must ___36___ interactive physical operation, where you have to touch the tower to learn how and when to move blocks.Imitating it is rather difficult, so the robot has to learn in the real world, by working with the real Jenga tower. Recently, a relevant research was published in the journal Science Robotics. Researchers say the robot demonstrates that machines can learn how to perform certain tasks through actual touching instead of relying heavily on visual ___37___ . That physical ___38___ is significant, researchers say, because it provides further proof that robots can be used to perform ___39___ tasks, such as separating recyclable objects from landfill trash and assembling consumer products.In a cellphone assembly line, the feeling of any component is coming from force and touch rather than vision. To become an accomplished Jenga player, the robot did not require as much repetitive practice as you might imagine. Hoping to avoid reconstructing a Jenga tower thousands of times, researchers developed a method that allowed the robot to be trained on about 300 games. Researchers say the robot has already begun facing off against humans, who remain ___40___ players —— for now.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.From the nation's earliest days, farming has held a crucial place in the American economy and culture. Farmers play an important role in any society, of course, since they feed people. But farming has been particularly ___41___ in the United States with intensified attention from civilians and government as well.Early in the nation's life, farmers were seen as exemplifying economic ___42___ such as hard work, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. Moreover, many Americans, particularly immigrants who may have never held any land in the country, found that owning a farm was the ___43___ to enter the American economic system. They were immediately playing a part in the country’s economy.The American farmers have generally been quite successful at producing food, which has sometimes created their biggest problem. The agricultural industry has suffered periodic explosions of overproduction that have ___44___ prices, when the government has to step in and ___45___ the worst of these events.American farmers owe their ability to produce large outputs to various factors. For one thing, they work under ___46___ natural conditions. The American Midwest has some of the richest soil in the world. Rainfall is ___47___ over most areas of the country; rivers and underground water system permit extensive watering. Increasing use of high-quality ___48___ also has contributed to the American agriculture. It is not unusual to see today's farmers skillfully operating ___49___ plows(犁) or harvesters. One farmer can manage large lands of farms. Fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) are commonly used although some environmentalists ___50___ it. Computers track farm operations, and even ___51___ technology is applied to find the best places to plant crops. US agriculture is among the most advanced in the world.Farmers still must fight with forces beyond their control, ___52___ . Despite its generally temperate weather, North America also experiences floods and droughts. Such changes in the weather give agriculture its own unique cycles, often ___53___ the general economy. When negative factors hit farmers, calls for government assistance are particularly intense. In the 1930s, for instance, bad weather, and the Great Depressioncombined to push farms over the edge into a(n) ___54___ situation. The government then responded with ___55___ agricultural reforms including, most notably, a system of price supports, whose significance toward the large-scale campaign lasted for many years.41. A. valued B. accessed C. implemented D. illustrated42. A. regulations B. virtues C. obligations D. requirements43. A. shortcut B. implication C. reward D. substitute44. A. maintained B. margined C. depressed D. refunded45. A. take over B. cover up for C. come up with D. smooth out46. A. varied B. favourable C. extreme D. visible47.

A. subject to B. unrelated to C. reduced to D. applied to54. A. vague B. desperate C. isolated D. feasible55. A. struggling B. traditional C. sweeping D. permanentSection 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 just read.(A)After some blood tests, Dr. Strubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. “You have systemic lupus (狼疮),” he said matter-of-factly. “Lupus,” he continued, “is an auto-immune disease and …” I remember certain details but mostly I rememberhim talking about children. “Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression.”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms — tiredness and joint pain — were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea (紫锥花) had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old d aughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Strubs. How could one endure repeatedly hearing desperate words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirkstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly.“So, let’s talk a little.”Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow-up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirkstein came to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn’t know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but happiness. Every day was a gift and I knew it.56.Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because .A.the process of giving birth might put her life in dangerB.taking care of children will gradually worsen her diseaseC.her disease will threaten the health of her childrenD.she already has enough children57.Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits?A.Because he was not qualified to treat her disease.B.Because he recommended Dr. Kirkstein to her.C.Because his cold attitude upset the author.D.Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.58.How did the author deal with the disease?A.She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B.She took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C.She turned to Dr. Kirkstein to get cure for the disease.D.She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.59.Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A.Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B.Because she made every day valuable in spite of disease.C.Because she received a gift every day from her family.D.Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.(B)While faking and fierce looks are among animals’ great defenses, many species know that everyone runs from a big stink (臭气) too.Vulture (秃鹫)Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit (呕吐), and the smell of vomited-on dead bodies puts off most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quickly—and the vomit can hurt the aggressor’s eyes and face.Opossum（负鼠）In some ways opossums have it easy. In order to become “dead”, they don’t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators(捕食者) they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won’t move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed.Hoatzin（麝雉）Hold your nose and meet the hoatzin, a bird with a number of distinctions, not the least of which is that it smells like fresh cow shit. The animal mostly eats leaves and it’s the only bird known to digest by fermentation（发酵）, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the “stink bird.”Millipede（千足虫）Millipedes are tricky. For starters they look wormy. Their name is deceptive, too: Their legs number about 750. Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a noxious defensive spray that can irritate skin, harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.Sea Hare（海兔）The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it’s not the most popular dish in the sea food chain. Nonetheless, this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smell-related defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly companions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less attractive to predators.Researchers using lobsters(龙虾) as model predators found that the sea hare ink blocks the lobster’s receptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent of a stuffy nose so they don’t know how appealing it is.60.The sea hare defends itself from predators by .A.becoming plain in taste at the discovery of a predatorB.giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predatorsC.releasing substance to make predators unable to smell itD.giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away61.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The vulture carries bacteria so that predators dare not get close to it.B.The opossum fakes its death to avoid being targeted by predators.C.The hoatzin eats cow shit so that it is nick-named as “stink bird.”D.The spray released by millipede was basically harmless.62.The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is .A.vultureB.opossumlipedeD.sea hare(C)ARCHAEOLOGISTS(考古学家) GUIDED BY laser images of a remote region of northern Guatemala have discovered 20-foot-high walls, watchtowers, and other evidence that ancient Maya societies had been annoyed by warfare threat over many years. The finds have upended long- established impressions of a civilization that it tamed the jungle and built thriving cities, then declined and disappeared quietly beneath the dense tropical forest.Among the most surprising discoveries was a large stone complex now called La Cuernavilla. Built on a steep ridge, the heavily fortified(加固的) site included high walls, moats(护城河) which serves as the largest defensive system ever discovered in the region.“This was surprising,” says an archaeologist, “because we had a tendency to romanticize Maya warfare as something that was largely ritualized. But the fortifications we’re seeing now suggest an elevated level of antagonism over centuries. Rulers were so deeply alarmed that they felt the need to invest in all these hilltop fortifications. There is an almost visible sense of fear in this landscape.”All these findings owe credit to PACUNAM LiDAR Initiative, a laser survey of some 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern Guatemala. Using revolutionary laser technology, the survey revealed the long-hidden ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed.Guided by the new Laser treasure maps, the LiDAR team deployed through the jungle over the past year to conduct hands-on investigations of more than a dozen of the most promising sites— most of which would have been imperceptible without LiDAR.“You could walk over the top of a major ruin and miss it,” says an archaeologist who’s part of the PACUNAM project. “But LiDAR picks up the patterns and makes the features pop out with surprising clarity.”Three-dimensional maps generated by the survey yielded surprises even at Tikal, the largest and most extensively explored archaeological site in Guatemala. The ancient city was at least four times bigger than previously thought, and surrounded by a massive ditch(沟) and fortified base stretching for miles.Archaeologists stress that LiDAR, for all its utility, will never see below the ground or yield direct dates of occupation. “We’ll still need to dig and hack our way through the jungle, but now we have a very accurate map to guide us.”63.How did people think of Maya before the discovery of the defense ruins?A.It was the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind.B.It was long under the threat of large-scale wars.C.Its rise and decline were under way peacefully.D.It was finally destroyed by a large-scale war.64.The underlined word antagonism is closest in meaning to .A.miseryB.revolutionC.population decreaseD.opposition65.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The military mechanism found in La Cuernavilla was intended for occupying more lands.B.The new laser technology was mainly used to enlarge the original site size.C.The LiDAR helps to avoid the traditional digging task in site exploration.D.The Tikal site was found to be protected by certain defense works.66.The passage is mainly about .A.people’s long-time misunderstanding of Maya civilizationB.discovery of Maya military works aided by new explore technologyC.the finding of a big warfare resulting in the disappearance of Maya civilizationD.the various advantages of new technologies in the field of archaeologySection 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.A.The animals, to some extent, become tools to us.B.Although violence against zoo animals is often reported, the issue of animal welfare has aroused littleattention recently.C.By taking a selfie, you show that you’re part of that experience.D.The comparison between caged animals and wild ones is appealing to people.E.Similar incidents are a regular occurrence in natural settings.F.The common factor is that some people are not respecting animal lives.Recently, in the quest for a selfie(自拍), a woman climbed over the concrete barrier of a jaguar (美洲虎)enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona. The jaguar ripped into her arm. Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She’s fine—so is the jaguar.This isn’t the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines. Last year, a man jumped into a lion enclosure at a zoo for a close-up photo. ______67_______ Multiple tourists in Yellowstone National Park have been attacked by bison(野牛) when they’ve gotten too close for a photo.It’s common sense not to get close to wild animals that can hurt you. It’s why zoos have barriers — sometimes multiple walls — to keep people separated from animals. Signs posted everywhere state the obvious warning. Keep your hands off the cage.“Yet animals have become less real to us,” says an environmentalist. We see exotic animals most frequently in managed settings like zoos. ______68_______ People are trying to take advantage of their rarity to show off on social media and ignore their fierceness.Media often normalize interaction with dangerous animals. Seeing a man like “Lion Whisperer” Kevin Richardson regularly play-fight with lions on TV, may send the message that these animals aren’t so dangerous after all.Social media are also perfectly positioned to contribute to the rise of animal selfies. Getting likes and comments provide instant satisfaction. Your self-esteem actually gets a temporary boost. To hold onto that feeling, people may go to more and more extremes to showcase the most exciting versions of themselves. It may not be enough to get a photo of a beautiful, dangerous animal from outside a cage. ______69_______ People’s careless approach can put the animal’s safety at risk as well. Zoo animals often must be killed to protect the person who’s entered their space.In fact, thrill-seekers actively endanger the lives of animals. ______70_______ With the zoo environment, they take it for granted that animals are there for people, ignoring the fact that animals and humans are both equal existents in the nature.IV．Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Peter woke up one morning with all the usual signs of a nasty cold: severe headache and blocked nose. Then he did what almost everyone does on a day like this. He got up and went to work. Such is the state of what the human resources industry has come to call presenteeism.Many experts claim that presenteeism is now a bigger problem in the UK than absenteeism and could even help explain the country’s weak productivity growth. A growing number of companies are realizing presenteeism and doing something about it. This generally takes the form of programmes full of once unimaginable sweets: cheap gym membership, veggie salads in the canteen, stand-up desks and the odd massage. Of course, there’s nothing against lunchtime dentistry or free workout. They do more good than harm. But such welfares alone won’t do much to stop people from presenteeism.The chief reasons why people soldier on have nothing to do with how fit they are. They work for leaner, more stressed companies where dismissals are common. This makes some people worried that they will be targeted in the next round of job cut if they have taken a lot of time off. Others worry about troubling stretched colleagues with more work in their absence. How annoying it is to be faced with cold faces when you return to office after two days’ rest at home！There is not much to be said for “silly things” like ping-pong tables and office bean bags. The key to dealing with presenteeism lies in training managers to be better at spotting swiftly when employees are under too much stress or ill, and dealing with the situation sensibly — putting the sick employee to sick leave although he is reluctant. Of course, work has to be done to eliminate employee’s concern about his job prospect thereof.。

上海市2019年初三下学期中考英语二模汇编：阅读回答问题(含答案)

上海市2019年中考英语二模之阅读回答问题宝山They exist in every school. Some use words, and others use physical violence (暴力）.No matter what the methods are, the result is the same: bullies make you feel bad and make going to school a lot more difficult. What can you do about them? Luckily, dealing with bullies is not as hard as you think. Just follow these simple steps, and there is a good chance you will survive the bullies at your school without getting hurt.The first step to take when dealing with bullies is to understand them. Most bullies make others feel bad so they feel better about themselves. Their main goal is to make you upset so they feel in control. The best way to deal with this is to avoid them all together. Don't walk near them, change your seat in class, or if they come up to you, walk away. If you can successfully ignore(对…不予理踩）a bully for a few days, you will probably be left alone.When it is impossible to ignore the bully, you will have to take further steps. Bullies prefer to target kids who they think are weak and vulnerable. The next time you see a bully, pretend to feel very brave and confident. If the bully says something to yo u, say “Stop it! "in a strong voice and walk away. If you see a bully picking on someone else, do the same. Bullies normally do not like confrontation(对抗).If they still pick on you, the next step is to report the bully to a teacher. Bullies have been around for a long time, so experienced teachers will know how to deal with them. The bully will get into trouble and the teacher will get ready to be on watch all the time.Bullies can give you big trouble. However, if you act quickly, you can almost always keep them from bothering(烦扰）you. Just remember to never get in a fight with a bully. Fighting will almost always make the situation worse. Be smart when dealing with bullies and you should survive without getting hurt!88. Is there a good chance to survive the bullies if you follow the simple steps?89. What is the main goal of the bullies?90. Why do we need to pretend to be brave and confident?91. What is the next step if the bullies still pick on you?92. What will make the situation worse when dealing with bullies?93. Are there any bullies at your school? What will you do if you meet with a bully?崇明It was a Friday morning. I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it. I was so busy looking for something in my bag that I didn’t pay any attention to the driver. I just said, “Please go right now! I’m in a hurry!”A voice replied, “Yes, madam!”I was surprised when I heard a female voice. I stopped what I was doing for a second and looked at the driver. The driver was a young lady of about thirty. It was my first time seeing a young lady driving a t axi!”The car was running smoothly towards my destination. It was quite a distance from my home. The driver was driving perfectly well. I had travelled in taxi many times, but I had never seen a young lady driver! I was curious about the reason why she had chosen this job, so I started aconversation, “If you don’t mind, can I ask you some questions?”“Yes, madam, no problem.”“I guess you are well-educated.”“Yes, madam, I have completed my education. I have done my MBA courses.”“Oh, wow! Why did you ch oose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”I should see her face in the rear view mirror（后视镜）. She smiled and expressed her opinion.I was really amazed.Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic（感兴趣的）about driving since I was a child.I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction. I received offers from big companies but I preferred thi s one because I like it. Although I can’t earn much money from this job, I love driving! That’s it!”88. When did the taxi arrive at the writer’s home that morning?89. At first, the writer didn’t notice that the taxi driver was a woman, did she?90. Why did the write start a conversation with the taxi driver?91. What information did the writer get about the young lady driver’s education?92. Why did the lady driver refuse job offers from big companies?93. What have you learned from this story?奉贤Many of the world’s successful people were once failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Michael Jordan (born 1963) is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, he himself admits that it hasn’t been easy. In a famous advertisement for Nike, he says, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted（委托）to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succ eed.”Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, and he was expelled （开除）from school. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress”Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War （美国南北战争）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous business that failed, he went bankrupt（破产）twice and was defeated in 26 campaigns（竞选）for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”J.K. Rowling (born 1965) is the author of the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and one of the richest women in the world. But before publishing the books, she was penniless, depressed and trying to raise a child on her own. In a speech at Harvard in 2008, she said, “I had failed so greatly. After a short-lived marriage, I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure Iknew.”So you see, just keep going!88. How many times has Michael Jordan missed the game winning shot?89. What happened to Albert Einstein in 1921?90. Which did Abraham Lincoln care more about, whether he failed or how to face with his failure?91. J.K. Rowling is one of the richest women in Britain, isn’t she?92. What was J.K. Rowling’s life like before Harry Potter Books were published?93. What do you think of failure? How do you overcome failure in your life? (Please give an example to explain)黄浦My mother often asked me, “What is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as huma ns, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.”She said. “No. Many people are deaf. But try to use your head and I will ask you again soon.”Then last year, my grandma died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our f inal goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?“I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the conclusion on my face and told me, “This questions is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder(肩膀)。

There's a biological reason why a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break – they get（21）______(wire) into our brains."Why are bad habits stronger? You're fighting against the power of an immediate reward," says Dr. Nora V olkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and an authority on the brain's pleasure pathway."We all as creatures are behaving that way, to give greater value to an immediate reward as opposed to (22)______ is delayed," V olkow says.How this bit of happiness turns into a habit involves a pleasure-sensing chemical named dopamine. It causes the brain (23)______(pursue) that reward again and again strengthening the connection each time – especially when it gets the right hint from your environment.People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptations around them, thus (24) ______(destroy) attempts to give up bad habits. Even scientists who recognize it (25)______ show weakness. "I know popcorns are not healthy. But every time I go to the cinema, I have to eat it," V olkow says，"It's fascinating."A movement to pay people for behavior changes may exploit that connection, as some companies offer employees outright payments or insurance reduction for adopting better habits.(26)______well paying for behavior plays out, researchers say there are still some steps that may help fight your brain's hold(27)______ newly-established habits:Repeat, repeat, repeat the new behavior – the same routine at the same time of day. You decide to exercise. Doing it at the same time of the morning, rather than fitting it in casually, (28)______ (make) the striatum(终脑⽪层)recognize the habit. Therefore, if you don’t keep doing it, you will feel frustrated.Exercise itself raises dopamine levels, so eventually your brain will get a feel-good hit (29)______ ______ your muscles protest.Besides, try to reward yourself with (30)______ that you really desire. For instance, if you exercise all week or stick to your diet, you could try a fancy restaurant - safer perhaps than a box of cookies because the price inhibits the quantity.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.As the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat stress, longer droughts(⼲旱), and more intense rainfalls linked to global warming continue to upset our daily weather, we often forget they also ___31___ the quantity, quality, and growing locations of our food. Many foods have already ___32___ top spots on the world's "endangered foods" list, indicating their possibility to become scarce within the next 30 years.To start with what is ___33___ in many people’s lives, we are disappointed to find that coffee plantations in South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii are all being threatened by rising air temperatures and erratic(不稳定的) rainfall patterns, which invite disease and invasive species to ___34___the coffee plant and beans. The result? Significant cuts in coffee output. And Coffee's culinary cousin, cacao (aka chocolate),is also suffering stress from global warming's rising temperatures. But forchocolate, it isn't the warmer climate alone that's the problem. Cacao trees actually prefer warmer climates as long as that warmth is paired with high humidity and ___35___ rain. However, the problem is that the higher temperatures projected for the world's leading chocolate-producing countries are not expected to be___36___by an increase in rainfall. Therefore as higher temperatures take more moisture from soil and plants, it's unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to make up for this loss.A notably nutritious plant, the peanut grows best when it gets five months of continuous warm weather and 20 to 40 inches of rain. Anything less and plants won't survive. That isn't good news when most climate models agree that the climate of the future will be one of the ___37___, including droughts and heatwaves.The world has already caught a glimpse of the peanut's future fate when last year a serious drought across the peanut-growing Southeastern U.S. led many plants to die. According to a financial report, the dry ___38___ caused peanut prices to rise by as much as 40 percent!Finally, in the world of sea, as air temperatures rise, oceans and waterways absorb some of the heat and undergo warming of their own. The result is the ___39___in fish population. Warmer waters also encourage vicious marine bacteria, like Vibrio, to grow and cause illness in humans.And that satisfying "crack" you get when eating crab(蟹) could be ___40___ as shellfish struggle to build their calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) shells, a result of ocean acidification.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.“Don’t get sick in July!”This is a common concern in teaching hospitals in the U.S. It’s driven by the academic calendar: July is when the new interns, fresh out of medical school, start work. In other words, it’s when everyone is most ___41___. The theory is that this disadvantage leads to mistakes.So is medical experience good or bad? Well, in most cases, your doctor’s experience is very helpful, allowing her to pick up on a(n) ___42___ symptom early in a disease process, when machines still can’t take a hand. She can alsodetermine the right treatment when your condition falls outside of what is in the ___43___, where newbies get most of their ideas. For many medical treatments, there’s a direct connection between physician experience and your treating outcome.In a variety of situations, though, experience can backfire. The reason is simple ___44___. Doctors are humans too and they ___45___ tricks of the mind—like believing that an ineffective treatment really works. In fact, entire fields of research are devoted to understanding why these errors of thought occur. They ___46___ from so-called cognitive prejudice that can mislead even ___47___ practitioners into making the wrong decisions.Doctors are usually locked onto a diagnosis early and disregard new and ___48___ information. For example, a patient may be diagnosed with a quickly fatal cancer, but then ends up trying various herbal remedies and lives for 30 more years. Instead of analyzing the ___49___ diagnosis, the patient, and maybe even the doctor, may assume that the herbal remedies cured the cancer.Also, some experienced doctors tend to believe evidence when it supports their previous opinion while subconsciously ignoring information opposing it. Let’s say your doctor is pretty certain you have ill digestion and orders a test to___50___ the suspicion, which produces negative result. But she treats you for ill digestion anyway because she was ___51___ with the prior diagnosis by experience.In fact, there are clearly many benefits to having a highly experienced doctor, such as technical proficiency. But there may actually be some unexpected benefits to having a less-experienced one too. She may have a more up-to-date education, boundless energy and perhaps is less vulnerable to biases, freed from the same ___52___ for years.To safeguard yourself as a patient, one thing you should always do is ___53___. It may not always be possible to determine that your doctor has met with an unconscious thinking ___54___. But asking questions does force your doctor to think twice and ___55___ her decision about your case.41. A. innocent B. productive C. inexperienced D. prohibited42. A. slight B. objective C. complex D. sustainable43. A. media B. tradition C. reality D. textbook44. A. psychology B. education C. procedure D. priority45.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Last October I was on a diving holiday in the Philippines with seven other advanced divers. I dived off the boat slowly sinking to about 20m.After nearly 45 minutes, the sound of my breathing was drowned out by a low rumble like an engine and I felt deep powerful vibrations (震动) as if a big boat with a propeller was passing overhead. The dive instructor’s eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef (礁⽯). The situation felt sinister.Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushmoomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle(海龟) racing past us? They are normally slow movers so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That’s when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splintering open and grinding against itself.The instructor and I held hands and looked into each other’s eyes. I felt comforted by his presence. I was numb(⿇⽊的) for terror but clear-headed. My body went on high alert, ready to react. But I have no power over whatever this is. The only option is to stay very still and let it do whatever its going to do.It took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which is not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was ambiguous with potential threats pending. Soon we saw other divers.The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when they stopped I heard the swoosh of sand falling over the seabed. We all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be fatal. When up, it was a huge relief to see all the divers and we all shared incredulous looks before pulling out our breathing tools and shouting, ”What was that?”Back on the boat, we rushed to check the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening.56. How did the author realize that they met with an earthquake?A. By feeling the violent shake under the sea.B. By witnessing a normally-slow turtle quickly moving by.C. By seeing the seafloor crack.D. By checking the news and be informed of the event.57. Why didn’t the author rise to the surface before the vibration stopped?A. Because the instructor gestured him not to rise.B. Because he was numb in body.C. Because he could sense the unclear water situation.D. Because he tried to avoid unexpected danger above.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. At the beginning of the event, a big boat passed by causing big vibration.B. All the divers used the reef as the protection against the violent vibration.C. I felt relieved as the instructor was experienced in handling situations like this.D. Powerless to fight nature, I was tame when under the water.59. Why did the author feel fortunate on the boat?A. Because he was not at the epicenter of the earthquake.B. Because he finally survived a huge earthquake.C. Because he could witness a rare natural phenomenon.D. Because he didn’t suffer from decompression sickness.(B)Amazon is presenting to you our weekly bestsellers in the fiction section.Twilight WhispersLinked for years through friendship and intermarriage, the Warren and Whyte families find their charmed world marred when Mark Whyte and his wife Deborah Warren are murdered. Police detectives, hearing about dissension of the families, set out to examine the mystique behind their superficial rapport.Katia Morell, daughter of the Whyte’s housekeeper, is drawn back to her growing place and is forced to face her life-long love for Jordan Whyte. As many secrets are uncovered, especially about Katia’s biological father, the two young people from rival families are encountering fierce family objection in their search for happiness.The New ColossusNellie Bly, blessed with courage and reportage skill, lands two front-page stories on the widely-read newspaper, Joseph Pulitzer’s NEW YORK WORLD.Pulitzer is so impressed that he assigns her to a murder case confusing the police—the death of Emma Lazaru. Her investigation leads to tense encounters with some powerful and ruthless men of the time, when evils run wild on unregulated upper class. Bly has one real ally: a doctor who uses scientific techniques to establish criminal behavior. As the pieces fall into place, Bly uncovers layers of corruption(腐败). The essential connection between the murder case and the prevalent greed and darkness of the then society finally emerges.The Last Days of NightA young lawyer named Paul Cravath, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country?The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society—the glittering parties and the dark dealings behind closeddoors. The task is beyond daunting. Edison is a dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies, newspapers. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous opponent a compulsion to win at all costs.In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul receives favors from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant inventor holding the key to defeating Edison. Bones Don't LiePrivate investigator Lance Kruger was just a boy when his father vanished twenty-three years ago. Since then he’s lived under the weight of that disappearance for over 20 years—until his father’s car is finally dragged out from Grey Lake. It should be a time for closure, except for the skeleton found in the trunk. A missing person case gone cold has become a murder.For Lance, the investigation yields troubling questions about a man he thought he knew. But memories can play dirty tricks. For his partner attorney Morgan, uncovering each new lie comes with a disquieting fear that someone is out there watching, killing every witness tied to this decades-old crime.60. In which way is The Last Days of Night different from the other three novels?A. In that The Last Days of Night exposes the evil and the dark dealings of the upper class life then.B. In that nobody is killed illegally in The Last Days of Night.C. In that the leading character in The Last Days of Night has got help from other characters.D. In that the leading character is born into a rich upper class family.61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In Twilight Whispers, the biggest challenge for Katia and Jordan is the long separation of time and space between them.B. In The New Colossus, the cause of the murder is rooted in the then corrupted society.C. In The Last Days of Night, Paul finally wins the law case because of his client Westinghouse’s vast resources at disposal.D. In Bones don’t lie, Lance Kruger’s father was confirmed by the police as the murdered when Lance was a boy.62. The underlined word dissention is closest in meaning to ______.A. financial worsening C. the loss of powerB. silence D. conflict(C)If what we did were simply work to live, the reality of our everyday existence would be equivalent to that of stone age man. All of human achievement that makes modern life possible has happened because of the time that has been freed up from the work of everyday survival.For most of the human species on earth man and woman have been occupied with the simple business of staying alive in as much relative comfort as possible. Hunting and gathering, finding or building shelter, defending the little thatone has from plunder (抢夺), surviving long enough to have offsprings of a mature enough age to contribute to the welfare of the group—this was initially the main business of living. It has only been comparatively recently, since the agricultural and industrial revolutions that used emerging technologies to free human beings from the drudgery of day-to-day survival, that time has become available to do other than simply survive.However, living to work is a luxury that we should not take for granted, for even now still most of the human race couldn’t be blessed with the pearl.When we live to work we en joy what we are doing, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it. The term “live to work” implies choice. Working to live denotes the exact opposite: anything will do that pays the bills. Anyone in the latter situation will attest to the undesirability of being in such a position. Living to work suggests exhilaration in one’s calling; it summons images of freedom and excitement in the prospect of what each new day will bring, whereas working to live suggests little choice if any. “What do you want to do when you grow up?” is a question with which most children will be familiar, perhaps even bored. It is a question of what even a young adult can often not be sure of until they have had experiences of many different jobs, or at least the ones they thought to try. But to be forced to work at a task that one does not enjoy day after day for survival would be last choice on anyone’s list. Enlightened humanity, while acknowledging that some undesirable jobs must be doneregardless, would acknowledge that if one was motivated in his work, the work would be so much better accomplished.63. The underlined word drudgery is closest in meaning to ______.A. imaginationB. hard laborC. draggingD. familiarity64. It is implied in the text that human beings ______.A. have been satisfied by contributing to the welfare of the group.B. stayed alive in much possible comfort for centuriesC. made little progress before the emergence of technologiesD. were addicted to hunting, gathering and building shelters.65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Human achievements facilitating modern life are done during the leisure time freed from survival work.B. The major early business of humans is to seek chances for technological developments.C. In modern society, most people have enough comforts to make individual choices for work.D. Most adults can answer confidently questions concerning what jobs they want to do.66. The best title for the passage would be ______.A. Technology, a driving force to push humans aheadB. Working to live, a basic condition for pleasant living to workC. Different desires and prospects people have for different kinds of work.D. Working to live or living to work, a choice distinguishing joy from sufferingSection 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.Most people don’t need science to appreciate the importance of a mother’s love. But to understand how early maltreatment can derail a child’s development requires careful study.In a famous research, Harry Harlow had demonstrated that proper psychological and physical development of infants requires nurturing and attention from a parent. ___67___ In that research, socially isolated monkey babies that were removed from their mothers were found to be clinging to a cloth-covered surrogate (替代的) mother for comfort.Such experimentations sound cruel. They, however, have been critical in helping change policies in human orphanages ( 孤⼉院) in the U.S. For centuries some orphanages treated infants equally inhumanely. Despite early evidence that orphanage infants were far more likely to die than others, supporters argued that it didn’t matter whether children had “parents” specially devoted to them at the orphanage. ___68___ Orphans were supposed to be in positive mental and physical health untiladoptive parents were found. Babies, they said, couldn’t remember anyway.The harrowing consequences of these theories were most vividly brought to light in Romania in the 1980s and ‘90s.A ban on abortion（流产) led to a surge in orphanage babies. Simply being fed and changed without individualized affection, some babies present serious problems. Many developed violent behaviors, repetitively rocking or banging their heads. Some were cold and withdrawn or indiscriminately affectionate. ___69___ Their head sizes were especially small. They even had problems with attention and comprehension. The longer these children were left alone, the more damage was seen.The lack of a secure attachment relationship in the early years has destructive consequences for both physical and mental health later in life, with long-lasting effects. The persistence of these effects emphasizes the need to intervene early in life. The Nobel-prize-winning economist James Heckman, has long argued that investing in early childhood education provides a greater return for society than virtually any other type of spending. It is obviously reflected in increased educational success and productivity,. The reduced crime, addiction, distress and disorder point to the same theory. Early life conditions critically affect adult life. ___70___ Remove it and the harm is great.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.African elephants are in trouble. Their numbers have fallen violently from as many as ten million a hundred years ago to as few as400,000 today. Losses are largely from poaching（偷猎）for the illegal ivory trade, and also because of the smaller living space for elephants, as people open up land for farming and development.Killing some elephants to help save the species is one suggested strategy for preserving them. Here’s the thinking:Invite rich hunters to pay generous fees to shoot specified numbers of elephants, and use that money as sources for various conservations.Some people claim that trophy hunting can provide generous financial support for people to conserve and restore wild elephant numbers, protect wildlife from poaching, and to help give local communities a boost in economy. Doing that, the theory goes, poor villagers won’t need to poach elephants to feed their families.To look into the new business closely, the trophy hunting industry does not provide significant benefits to the communities where it occurs. Across Africa, there are only about 15,000 hunting-related jobs created by the business—a tiny number, especially considering that the six main game-hunting countries alone have a population of nearly 150 million.Besides that, it is true the total income from trophy hunting is substantial. Take an unnamed area for example, the total income to wild conservancies from trophy hunting, amounted to $165,000. Six years later, this is expected to increase almost tenfold to $1,330,000. Yet after various kinds of processing fees and expenses are reduced, the local communities make an average of only ten cents a hectare (25 cents an acre) from trophy hunting. The return is so small that it justly explains locals’lack of interest in preserving hunting areas and their continued poaching.第II卷（共40分）V.

It is a common sight. But you might not know that it is very 46 .Sand is widely used in glass-making and road-building. It is the second most-used 47 after water in the world, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock. soil and minerals. It can take thousands of 48 to form, but now we are using sand too quickly. According to the BBC, we use about fifteen billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads, etc. That is 49 to build a 20-meter-high by 20-meter-wide wall around the equator (赤道) every year. Can you believe itA) disappear B) probably C) continue D) sometimes E) seldomPeople 50 put sand into the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai. United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.If people 51 using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction sand by 2020. Live Science noted.Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to 52 and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this will 53 affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.IV.
