Whenever she walks into a room, heads turn. Her friends wonder how she managed to get the new Mulberry handbag that no one had thought was 41 in Australia yet.The truth is that Olivia has never left Australia. But with a few clicks of her computer mouse, she can travel to shopping 42 around the world. Online shopping has 43 the consumer experience. With the help of an increasing number of online shops overseas, shoppers can now pick up interesting goods from all over the world.The biggest advantage of shopping on foreign websites is the wide range of choices available. For example, Chinese sho ppers are often disappointed when Gap products are not available locally. But now it‘s possible to order these products straight from the US with a credit card and a small 44 fee. Other benefits of online shopping include 45 prices. When items are bought online from other countries, they‘re often tax-free.However, when you buy things from a foreign website, things can get 46 too. So make sure you pay extra attention to protecting your rights.Sometimes it can be difficult to handle foreign websites because of the unfamiliar language. For example, the term ―shipped in 1-5 working days‖ can be confusing for Chinese shoppers, as it doesn‘t clarify whether this is the time in which the product will arrive or the time it takes for it to be 47 .The method of shipping can also determine whether you get your product at all. Unless you choose express or priority shipping, which only takes a few days to deliver but is more expensive, most 48 international shipping doesn‘t offer a tracking option ― w hich means once your products are shipped outside of the country there‘s no way of finding out where they are.The best consumers are the most sensible ones. If you‘re interested in expanding your shopping 49 to foreign websites, make sure you do your research beforehand to avoid your money and products being lost on the way.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.Starting around 1348, the plague(瘟疫) hit the continents of Europe and Asia. As a result, it killed an50 forty million people. This disease has come to be known as the Black Death. Its victims suffered a horribly painful death 51 by fever and dying, blackened flesh.Although they are not certain, many historians agree that the Black Death probably originated in China and spread through trade 52 , carried by fleas (跳蚤)found on rats. Rats are very common in cities, so these areas were hit the hardest. The disease passed to humans when the fleas would jump from the rats to a human host.Every social group suffered from the Black Death---it was not a discriminating (有识别力的)disease. But those who lived in rural settings were sometimes 53 , as were the wealthy, who had less 54 with outsiders and could afford to move to more remote areas in an 55 to spare themselves.The Black Death had many long-term 56 . Certain areas of Europe were nearly 57 after it, including some of its prosperous cities. For example, Bremen, Germany, lost almost 7,000 of its 12,000 inhabitants; Florence, Italy, lost 40,000 of its nearly 90,000; and Paris lost more than 50,000 of its 180,000. Major cities had to create mass graveyards where the dead could be buried. European population only began to 58 again in the last decades of the 15th century.The Black Death also brought about 59 changes. As large numbers of peasants died, there was a shortage of labor. Peasants had 60 spent generations working for the same family, but after the plague hit, they began to take advantage of the labor 61 . Workers 62 many times their usual pay for work and would sometimes move to a new lord or noble who offered 63 incentives (刺激;鼓励) and working conditions. In this way, the Black Death caused the landowning aristocracy (贵族) to lose much of their power and social 64 .50. A. enormous B. evaluated C. estimated D. expected51. A. characterized B. reported C. specialized D. caused52. A. stations B. goods C. routine D. route53. A. infected B. spread C. spared D. included54. A. contact B. similarities C. exchange D. trade55.

A. higher B. better C. similar D. changing64. A. post B. dream C. system D. positionSection 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)The butterfly, which is competitive swimming‘s newest stroke(划水), was developed in the mid-1930s, but it wasn‘t allowe d in the Olympics until 1956. The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency.During the 1920s, the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics, and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men‘s swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles.It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world, and one of the top US coaches – David Armbruster at the University of Iowa – began doing his own filming.Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster. He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down, so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water. The revised stroke (he kept the breaststroke kick) brought great improvements in speed.The following year, Jack Sieg, an Iowa swimmer, developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs in unison（一致）similar to a fish tail. As Armbruster later explained in the book Weissmuller to Spitz: The History and Background of the Olympic Games: ―Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down. Sieg synchronized his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull.‖ But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in the vertical (垂直的) plane.Within a few years, nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick. The pure butterfly wasn‘t legalized for some two decades, but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne ‗the fly‘ became an official event.65. The best title of the article is _____.A. Why did the coaches and swimmers improve stroke efficiency?B. How did the butterfly come into being?C. How did the Japanese wake up the swimming world?D. When did ‗the fly‘ become an official event?66. The Japanese coaches use underwater photography in order to ______.A. wake up the swimming worldB. be paid more moneyC. know how to be a mechanic.D. improve stroke efficiency.67. Before the pure butterfly was officially recognized, ______ years or so had passed .A. 15B. 20C. 30D. 3568. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. The Japanese coaches improved butterfly stroke.B. David Armbruster used filming to study stroke mechanics.C. Sieg came up with the idea of beating legs like a fish tail.D. The butterfly was added to the Olympics in 1956.(B)Singapore National Eye Centre―I could have lost my vision.SNEC restored my sight.”A macular hole, a hole at the most crucial part of the retina brought Bonny Huang who is from Hong Kong to the Singapore National Eye Centre for treatment. The retina is the light sensing nerve tissue at the back of the eye. In no time the potentially blinding condition was treated and his vision is now restored.―In April 2008, I noticed straight lines started to become distorted, and white patch appeared in the centre of my vision. I went to the Singapore National Eye Centre immediately. The ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery, found a central macular hole in my left eye.‖The treatment of this condition involves delicate judgment dependent on the experience of the doctor. The success of the recovery, however, relies largely on the face-down posture by the patient.―The Ophthalmologist explained to me the operational procedures, and taught me how to comply with the post-surgery face-down posture.The best part is that when I forgot some of the key points he told me, he showed no sign of resentment but instead comforted me not to worry before he went through the points again. I underwent an operation which lasted for only one hour, and maintained a face-down posture for three weeks. The result was very successful.‖―I once consulted my Ophthalmologist during his lunch time, and he attended to me without finishing his lunch. His understanding and concern shown towards his patients can be scarcely found in other medical centres. I am very pleased to have received timely treatment in Singapore National Eye Centre where the doctors care about their patients.‖Singapore National Eye Centre● 50 senior and experienced eye surgeons, total staff strength of 460● Ultra-modern facility with state-of-the-art technology and equipment● Quality assurance programme backed by 100% clinical audit of outcomes● High impact research teams leading to latest treatment strategies● Multi-expert approach to treatment of complex eye conditions● 250,000 outpatient visits, 14,000 major eye surgeries, 13,000 laser procedures annuallySingapore National Eye Centre11Third Hospital Avenue, Singapore168751, International Patient Service 24-hour Hotline:65-6100- 9393E-mail: ips@.sg or visit .sg69. According to this passage, the Eye Centre is ______.A. a charity organization helping people solve their eye problemsB. an institute focusing on eye-treatment researchC. a hospital specializing in eye-problem treatment and researchD. an international institute treating people‘s diseases70. Mr. Huang‘s case in the advertisement is intended to ______.A. give people advice on how to find good doctors to treat eye diseasesB. assure people of high quality of SNECC. explain the consequences of neglecting eye problemsD. tell foreigners they are welcome to SNEC71. Which of the following statements is TRUE of SNEC?A. Patients outside Singapore should call SNEC on work days.B. Latest treatment strategies result from multi-expert approach to treatment of eye diseases.C. High impact research teams are invited to deal with complex conditions.D. Nearly 11precent of the staff of SNEC are senior and experienced ophthalmologists.(C)For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called ―human nature.‖ The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to ―human nature‖ in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.72. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior73. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery74. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up75. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of ―human nature‖B. show that the concept of ―human nature‖ was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of ―human nature‖D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Try to know more about your child.B. Being a daddy is your top priority.C. Value your child for what he is.D. Let your child teach you.E. Time is of the essence.F. Look for the good and praise it.Seven Simple Rules for DadMy main object in life is to make sure I do the best possible job raising Tommy, now aged ten. That means I have to be the best possible father I can be. I am no psychologist, but I do see what succeeds with my son and me.I also observe other fathers. Here is what I have found works best in the dad department.1.76.The key to a happy child is having a dad who is there with him consistently, day in and day out. It is far better to spend evening after evening just sitting near him while he reads a book or plays on the computer than to spend a couple of hours every Saturday buying him toys or taking in a movie.2.Share your strengths and fears.You are your child's ally, not his adversary. The child who knows that his father was once afraid of the dark, and is still afraid of needles, gets to know that his own weaknesses are part of mankind, not a unique shame.3.77.Encouragement is the primary engine of human development. I have been telling Tommy for a year now that he is a whiz in math because I know he can calculate in a nanosecond the number of toys he can buy with his allowance. Now he's a whiz in math at school too. Consistent recognition of a child's strengths is more important by far than vitamins. You deny it to them at their peril and yours.4.Do not allow your children to be rude.My son is expected to share, answer others when they greet him and congratulate those who succeed. By teaching him about politeness, I make sure he realizes that others' feelings are worth taking into account. If he can get that into his little towhead, he will have learned the most basic foundation of human interaction.5.78.A common misstatement about child develop ment is that ―kids don't come with instruction manuals(操作指南).‖ Not true—they do. They tell you when they‘re hungry. They tell you when they're lonely or scared. They are like little guided tours of themselves. Children will tell you what they want, although not always with words. Fatigue, irritability and sadness are ways of telling Dad what they need. Look and listen.6.79.When Tommy knows he is loved for himself, not for any particular accomplishment, he has a certain peace that allows him to learn better, sleep better, play better, be more helpful around the house. Whether he becomes a rocket scientist or a plumber, I want Tommy to know he's No. 1 with me.7.80.If you decide your kids come before your sales quota or bridge game, you will find that all the other pieces of Daddyhood fall into place. When you put your kids first, you're getting the most value for every hour on earth. What‘s more, you have made the rightest decision of your life.—BENJAMIN J. STEIN in The WashingtonianSection DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.It is estimated that around of the approximately six thousand languages that are spoken today, over three thousand of them are likely to have disappeared by the year 2100. Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the main language of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81. What factors are taken into consideration when we classify languages as endangered ones, besides thenumber and the age of the speakers?82. One of the reasons why some languages go declining in Indonesia is___________________83. The word ― revive‖ in Para 2, most probably means ‗_______________________‘.84. What does the example of the Welsh language try to tell us?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)第II卷（共45分）I .

2013届上海市高三二模英语试题汇编——简答
2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语二模——简答题（黄浦）Relations between the United States and Spain were not very good in 1898. On February 15, a battleship called the USS Maine blew up and sank in the harbor at Havana, Cuba. More than 260 Americans were killed. Many Americans thought that Spanish saboteurs(破坏者) had set an underwater mine that caused the explosion.Witnesses and survivors had different versions of what happened. Some said that they heard two explosions. It was discovered that the magazine—which is a storage place for arms, ammunition (军火), and explosives—had exploded. Questions were raised about what caused the first explosion. Did the first explosion come from outside the ship, causing the magazine to explode? Or, did something on the ship blow up the magazine?Other witnesses said that there was only one explosion. If they are right, then what on the ship caused the magazine to explode? A theory supporting the two-explosion version was that rebels from Cuba had caused the explosion. The rebels were aware of the bad feelings between the United States and Spain. They would have been willing to cause trouble between the nations to bring an end to Spanish rule in Cuba.The United States government issued an ultimatum (最后通牒) to the Spanish government to end its occupation of Cuba. When Spanish officials refused, Congress and President William McKinley declared war on Spain. The war did not last long, because the United Sates forced an early surrender.More than 100 years after the explosion of Maine, the cause of the explosion is still unknown. Many questions remain. If an attack from outside the ship caused the magazine to explode, why didn‟t witnesses see a splash in the water? Why were there no dead fish in the water if there was an external explosion?With the mystery still unsolved, the question of what really happened to the USS Maine may never be answered.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)81. On February 15, 1898，more than 260 Americans lost their lives because of __________ .82. According to the passage, the “magazine” was used to _________.83. According to the two-explosion version, what‟s the probable purpose of the Cuban rebels tocause the explosion?84. What‟s the main topic of the passage?81. the explosion and sinking of the USS Maine82. store arms, ammunition, and explosives83. To cause trouble and end the Spanish rule/occupation.84. The Mystery of the USS Maine. / The (possible) causes of the USS Maine‟s Explosion（闵行）For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season‟s collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin‟s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won‟t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don‟t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers‟ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashion designers have to consider when working as employees.81. Business skills and creativity.82. Because consumers‟ needs keep changing / the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.83. commercial realities / the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing84. the employers‟ characteristic style and the mainstream of market.（浦东）The internal greenhouse effect of a daffodil(水仙花)Early pollinators (授粉昆虫) struggle with cold weather, so it's no wonder that late-winter flowers such as daffodil tend to have extended blooming times and long-lasting flowers, some of which remain open for more than two weeks. When the sun is out, they can offer a warm microenvironment for bees.Although they usually start showing off in the Washington area by late February, blooming times for daffodil are highly variable, depending on variety, weather and planting location. Moisture, tree cover and mineral availability all affect flowering time, but soil temperature tends to have the greatest influence on early-blooming flowers. The microclimate of a south-facing slope will display blooms well before flowers appear in the shadow of a building that gets only a half-day of sun.Once open, the flower can create a microclimate within itself. When sunlight hits a daffodilflower, its tube-shaped corolla acts as a tiny greenhouse, raising temperatures inside a flower as much as 15 degrees higher than the surrounding air.That's good news for small bees, which in late winter have trouble getting warm enough to fly.Bumblebees and honeybees prepare to fly on cold days by exercising their flight muscles to generate heat. But mining bees, which nest in the ground, are less able to do that and are more dependent on surrounding temperatures to warm them up for takeoff.Spanish ecologist Carlos M. Herrera studied the relationship between mining bees and nativedaffodil flowers. The bees he studied could fly only if their internal body temperatures approached 72 degrees, yet they were able to forage(觅食) in 54-degree weather. Basking(取暖) in sunlight on the outside of a warm daffodil bloom was enough to get a bee airborne. Heat from flight muscles could then help keep bees in the air, but they still relied on blossom-basking to supplement their heat needs. Although a bee inside a flower has access to warmth and food, a bee basking atop a flower can more effectively raise its temperature by absorbing heat both from direct sunlight and from the flower below.On those cooler days, bees spent most of their foraging time basking, but "flights between flowers were sometimes interrupted by sudden falls to the ground," Herrera wrote in his 1995 paper. "Fallen bees crawled into some nearby flower and basked before resuming normal foraging."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. According to the passage, what can help early pollinators to survive cold weather?82. Flowers on a south-facing slope usually open earlier because of ________________.83.

Through extensive research, they found that these people are excellent in their fields through personal drive, determined behaviors and the self-awareness to know who they are and what they want. While interviewing some of today's most successful people, Bed and and Schoen learned that success comes to individuals if those have mastered their own identities.After examining dozens of successful business leaders, political figures, sports legends and artists, the authors identified two distinct “archetypes” (典型）that are each made up of a set of consistent characteristics that place their skills, strengths, weaknesses and personalities apart from the others.The first archetype is the Natural-Born Leader. These people find great satisfaction in taking charge of complex challenges. Their confidence and abilities define them as individuals who know they will succeed as they face any difficulty. Berland and Schoen explain that these people exhibit self-confidence, big-picture thinking, a take-charge personality, an inspirational and motivational spirit and a helpful approach as they boost up those around them. If you are a Natural-Born Leader, you always have to be the best in school, at playing sports and in doing business. You have to do things first and fastest, and you enjoy moving up the corporate ladder.The second archetype is the Independence Seeker. Berland and Schoen have found these people have two obvious features, They share the common mental characteristics. For instance, people in this group are always trying to come up with a better way to do things, have the self-confidence to do whatever they need to do to reach their goals, are willing to take risks when they see an opportunity, have a "restless spirit" that appears in the form of new goals, and "don't take themselves too seriously." However, when it comes to working, they just want what they want, and they also hope that their achievements will be recognized.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.The purpose of Berland and Schoen‟s research is to __________.82.What is the leading factor that helps individuals to be successful according to Berland andSchoen?83.How will a Natural-Born Leader feel when he is told to finish some challenging tasks?84.Berland and Schoen have studied Independent Seekers in the two aspects: __________.81. search for the inner qualities of successful persons82. Mastering his/her own identities.83. Satisfied.84. Inner qualities and work attitude.（徐汇金山松江）It is estimated that around of the approximately six thousand languages that are spoken today, over three thousand of them are likely to have disappeared by the year 2100. Many of these are now classified as endangered languages and are classified as such by factors such as the number of speakers a language has, the age of the speakers, and the percentage of the youngest generation acquiring fluency in the language. For example, a language with many tens of thousands of speakers may be considered endangered if the children in the community are no longer learning the language. This scenario (情节) may happen in a place like Indonesia which as many different languages in use, but is trying to make communication easier by teaching a national language nation-wide. In another scenario, a language may only have a few hundred speakers but may not be considered endangered because all of the children in the community are learning the language.Once a language is classified as endangered, conservation efforts may be made in an attempt to revive the language. Whether or not to make such efforts is a decision which is ultimately made by the speakers of the language themselves, but success often requires a great deal of help and approval from the government or other authorities.One of the most famous language conservation success stories is that of the Welsh language. Historically, large numbers of Welsh people spoke only Welsh, but eventually English became the main language of Wales and fewer and fewer people learned Welsh. Conservation efforts began to be made in the mid-20th century with the establishment of such organizations as the Welsh Language Association in 1962. The Welsh Language Act and the Government of Wales Act, both passed in the 1990s, protected the Welsh language and made sure that English and Welsh would have equal status in Wales. Since 2000, the study of the Welsh language has been a compulsory subject in school. Today, over 22% of the population of Wales are Welsh speakers, up from 18% in 1991.81. What factors are taken into consideration when we classify languages as endangered ones,besides the number and the age of the speakers?82. One of the reasons why some languages go declining in Indonesia is___________________83. The word “ revive” in Para 2, most probably means …_______________________‟.84.

Weather experts from across the United States have been working to improve the way the country reacts to extreme weather. They way scientific progress has made weather forecasts, or predictions, better than ever. But, they say the cost of severe weather on life and property is still too high.NOAA says a new generation of equipment has already made its global numerical weather prediction system nearly three times faster in the past seven months. This is expected to improve NOAA's forecast models.Scientist and weather experts have launched a similar effort in the Philippines.

The study followed a group of around 1,000 children born in the New Zealand city of Dunedin in 1972-1973. Every two years between the ages of 5 and 15, they were asked how much television they watched. Those who watched more television were more likely to have a criminal conviction and were also more likely to have antisocial personality traits in adulthood.The study found that the risk of having a criminal behavior by early adulthood increased by about 30% with every hour that children spent watching TV on an average weeknight.The study also found that watching more television in childhood was associated, in adulthood, with aggressive personality, an increased tendency to experience negative emotions, and an increased risk of antisocial personality disorder; a psychiatric disorder characterised by persistent patterns of aggressive and antisocial behavior.The researchers found that the relationship between TV viewing and antisocial behavior was not explained by socio-economic status, aggressive or antisocial behavior in early childhood, or parenting factors.A study co-author, Lindsay Robertson, says it is not that children who were already antisocial watched more television. “Rather, children who watched a lot of television were likely to go on to manifest anti social behavior and personality traits.”Other studies have suggested a link between television viewing and antisocial behavior, though very few have been able to demonstrate a cause-and-effect sequence. This is the first …real-life‟ study that has asked a bout TV viewing throughout the whole childhood period, and has looked at a range of antisocial outcomes in adulthood. As an observational study, it cannot prove that watching too much television caused the antisocial outcomes, but the findings are consistent with most of the research and provides further evidence that excessive television can have long-term consequences for behavior.Antisocial behavior is a major problem for society. While we‟re not saying that television causes all antisocial behavior, our findings do suggest that reducing TV viewing could go some way towards reducing rates of antisocial behavior in society,” says Associate Professor Hancox.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children should watch no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality television programming each day. The researchers say their findings support the idea that parents should try to limit their children's television use.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.

However in America,it is resource-consuming." Though the remarks seem like jokes,real data support the point. Medicare statistics, for example, reveal that we Americans lead the world in the amount of medical services used during the last six months of a person's life.Senior citizens here are big consumers of healthcare ,using ambulances three times as often as seniors mercial insurance data point to similar patterns in the healthcare of the younger population too, a ground few would argue against.What explains such a phenomenon? There is plenty of blame to go around.Both physicians and patients have referred to a "more is better "approach that adds cost without necessarily leading to better outcomes.In the past, doctors in fee-for -service systems have been suspected of doing too much testing to generate more income. Now new networks track doctors' treating record in the hope to discourage unnecessary testing. Patients, on the other hand ,are worried about denial of services.Doctors can find themselves caught in a bind between anxious and worrying patients and insurance networks that dismiss doctors with inefficient practice patterns.Upset factors,such as malpractice concerns and falling fees ,among which the worsening doctor-patient relationship tops the ranking list-are contributing to the nation's increasing shortage of primary-care doctors.Is there a better way to do this, without limiting a patient's choice or lowering the quality of healthcare?One solution is that we can introduce care organizations, which have the goal of improving both patients' health outcomes and the efficient use of resources. Like an HMO, this new kind of care organization involves networks of doctors, hospitals and patients. By carefully balancing care among doctors computerized medical records to identify the appropriate use of services, it encourages preventive care and measure quality.Given the obvious benefits during its pilot time, we are also encouraged to look at the program called Choosing Wisely .The program is aimed at encouraging both physicians and patients, with the help of professional model ,to carefully consider the wisdom of medical procedures. In most cases ,useless procedures are not only wasting money, but also subjecting patients to additional risk without the potential ti improve their health.(NOTE: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)mercial insurance data are mentioned in the first paragraph to show that ________.82.Patients'________attitude towards medical care caused today's overtreatment.83.What is the leading reason for lack of primary-care doctors?84.What are the two methods to fight the environment problem?81. the young are big consumers of healthcare too82. “More is better”83.

Katrina Leupp, a researcher, suggests that rather than trying to do everything themselves, working women should get family members or others to help with the housework and not feel guilty about leaving work early when family duty calls. High earners can follow the lead of actress Anna Friel, who let out her secret to dealing with work and being a mother at the same time ---employing two maids.A researcher from the University of Washington said: “Employment is beneficial for women‟s health, even when differences in marital (婚姻的) satisfaction and working full-or part-time are ruled out.” But the analysis also found that not all working mothers are equally happy. The women with “supermom” attitudes as young adults showed more signs of depression, the American Sociological Society‟s annual conference stated. Women who try to do it all without any help are more likely to feel they are failures when things do not go to plan. Very often they may be drowned in tiredness. Lack of any “me time” could also be an issue. However, she stressed that working women--- including super mums --- generally still a lower risk of depression than stay-at-home mothers, adding:” But for better mental health, working mums should accept that they can‟t do it all.”Pam Spurr, a life coach and mother-of-two, said working women don‟t have to feel ashamed to take a career break when they have kids to take care of or cut back on time in the office. She said:”We need to accept that we are only human and can‟t do it all.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN THE WORDS.)81.

But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered __42__ productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seeds are __43__, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides(杀虫剂). On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use __44__ to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and __45__ production. But nei ther is true,” said Bill Christiso n, President of the US National Farm Coalition.At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and __46__. These indeed __47__ our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to __48__ the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are __49 __, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.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.For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I __50__ and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the __51__. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for __52__. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except__53__ . Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly __54__ between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over __55__ things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the __56__ style of clothing, the child’s __57__ to eat a good breakfast before school, or his __58__ to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, __59__. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be __60__. It doesn’t matter what the __61__ is —politics, the laws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg —the point of these __62__ is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an __63__—someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command__64__. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.50.A. display B. control C. forgive D. motivate51.A. pressure B. intention C. conflict D. misunderstanding52.A. starting B. recognizing C. indentify D. releasing53.A. occasionally B. completely C. precisely D. oppositely54.A. loss B. arise C. decline D. obtain55.A. unimportant B. unique C. specific D. significant56.A. reasonable B. preferred C. changeable D. granted57.A. desire B. attempt C. passion D. failure58.A. willingness B. right C. tendency D. promise59.A. blaming B. gossiping C. shouting D. commanding60.A. powerful B. knowledgeable C. instructive D. right61.A. question B. topic C. hint D. article62.A. problems B. difference C. arguments D. obstacles63.A. authority B. instructor C. opponent D. advisor64.A. information B. image C. knowledge D. respectSection BDirections:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Does it feel right?This is an excerpt from Oprah Winfrey’s 2008 Stanford Commencement (毕业典礼) Address:A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to co-anchor (共同主持) the 6 o’clock news in Baltimore…Yet, it didn’t feel right. The first sign, as President Hennessy was saying, was when they tried to change my name. T he news director said to me at the time: “Nobody’s going to remember Oprah. So, we want to change your name. We’ve come up with a name we think that people will remember and people will like. It’s a friendly name: Suzie.”… I grew up not loving the name, but once I was asked to change it, I thought, well, it is my name and do I look like a Suzie to you? So, I thought, no, it doesn’t feel right. I’m not going to change my name. And if people remember it or not, that’s OK.And then they said they didn’t like the way I looked… So, they sent me to a salon where they gave me a perm (烫发), and after a few days all my hair fell out and I had to shave my head. And then they really didn’t like the way I looked, because now I am black and bald and sitting on TV. Not a pretty picture.But even worse than being bald, I really hated, hated, hated being sent to report on other people’s tragedies as a part of my daily duty, knowing that I was just expected to observe, when everything in my instinct told me that I should be doing something, (and that) I should be lending a hand…It felt right. And that’s where everything that followed for me began. And after eight months, I lost that job. They said I was too emotional. I was too much. But since they didn’t want to p ay out the contract, they put me on a talk show in Baltimore. And the moment I sat down on that show, the moment I did, I felt like I’d come home. I realized that TV could be more than just a playground, but a platform for service, for helping other people’s lives improve. And the moment I sat down, doing that talk show, it felt like breathing.And I got that lesson. When you’re doing the work you’re meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus (意外收获), regardless of what you’re getting paid.65. Why did Oprah refuse to change her name to Suzie?A. She wanted to be herself.B. It would be inconvenient.C. The name Suzie was too ordinary.D. She was fond of her own name.66. What was the most important reason for why Oprah hated her job reporting the news?A. Reporting tragedies all day made her sad.B. She didn’t like just standing around and talking.C. She hoped she could decide what to report.D. She was asked to change her name and shave her hair off.67. What does “that lesson” in the last par agraph refer to?A. Listening to your heart.B. A good beginning makes a good ending.C. Don’t hesitate to find a better job.D. Helping people improve.68. Which of the following best describes Oprah?A. Understanding and optimistic.B. Careful and considerate.C. Persuasive and emotional.D. Determined and sympathetic.(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

But it also leads to a fossil fuel. Natural gas is considered the cleanest of the fossil fuels, the fuels created by plant and animal remains over millions of years.Burning it releases fewer pollutants than oil or coal. The gas is mainly methane(甲烷). It produces half the carbon dioxide of other fossil fuels. So it may help cut the production of carbon gases linked to climate change.Russia is first in what are called "proved reserves" of natural gas. The United States is sixth. Over the years, big oil and gas companies recovered much of the easily reached supplies of gas in America. They drilled straight down into formations where gas collects. As these supplies were used up, big drillers looked for similar formations in other countries.But now the industry is taking a new look. Companies are developing gas supplies trapped in shale rock two to three thousand meters underground. They drill down to the shale (页岩), then go sideways and inject high-pressure water, sand or other material into the rock. This causes the rock to break, or fracture, releasing the gas. Huge fields of gas shale are believed to lie under the Appalachian Mountains, Michigan and the south-central states.Gas shale exploration is being done mainly by small to medium sized companies. Eric Potter is a program director in the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin.ERIC POTTER: "The types of opportunities that are left for natural gas exploration in the U.S. have changed. So it's a different class of resource -- not as easy to develop, and not even recognized as something worth pursuing, say, twenty years ago."He says more than half the gas in the United States is now coming from these new reserves.But hydraulic fracturing can also produce debate and anger over the risk of groundwater pollution. This method of drilling is not federally supervised under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Some in Congress want to end that exemption (免除) from the law.Natural gas provides Americans with about one-fourth of their energy. And, unlike oil, most of it is produced in America. Gas producers invested heavily in reaching new supplies when prices were high. But prices are down sharply now because the recession(经济衰退) cut demand for energy. So energy expert Eric Potter says it is too early to know how the new gas shale reserves will affect the market.72. Which of the following statements is TRUE about fossil fuels?A. Fossil fuels are a kind of renewable resource just like sun, wind and water.B. Burning natural gas releases more pollutants than oil or coal.C. Fossil fuels were created millions of years ago by plant and animal remains.D. Using fossil fuels may help change the climate.73. What does the writer mean by saying “now the industry is taking a new look”?A. The U.S. will be ranked first in natural gas because it has huge fields of gas shale.B. People gain natural gas from shale rock using a method different from the traditional ones.C. Gas shale exploration will bring human beings abundant supply of natural gas.D. There should be no concern over the energy shortage because the industry is developing.74. When did gas producers invest heavily in finding new supplies of natural gas?A. When people’s demand for energy increased.B. When natural gas provided Americans with about one-fourth their energy.C. When Americans began to look for cleaner energyD. When the economy was in recession.75. Which one is TRUE about gas shale exploration?A. It is against the Safe Drinking Water Act.B. It was considered not worth doing twenty years ago.C. It will release pollutants to the water.D. It will bring down the price of natural gas.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Relocate the meaning of life.B. Say goodbye to guilt and regret.C. Avoid repetition.D. Do something new.AB. Give to get.AC. Put yourself in the fun zone.Five Secrets of High-Energy People76.Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eventually you’ll get a flat. Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll dis cover these small things add to your emotional energy.77.The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mista kenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.”Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.78.Most of us grown-ups live a dull life. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “It’s a challenge—and the least desirable propertie s are usually the most fun.”79.Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.80.Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality; the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it. After all, if it’s true that whatgoes around comes around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. The en vironment is in dire need of help because it’s being damaged, hunger is widespread throughout the world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to band together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—whether it’s to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in third world countries—workers are forced to labor long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other options.So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is labeled “fair trade”，you’ll know immediately that the workers who labored to produce that product were given a fair price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation.In short, each of us should be socially conscious to make a difference to widespread social problems.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NOT MORE THAN 10 words.) 81. According to the passage, what are the problems facing today’s world？_________________________________________________________.82. To overcome the problems facing today’s world, people should _________________________________________________________________________.83. We can fight world hunger by ___________________________________________.84. If you ______________________________________, you are helping fight worker exploitation.第II卷（45分）I.

The ones marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident; I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do all the other things ants do?Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren’t clever little engineers, architects, or soldiers after all --- at least not as individuals. When it comes todeciding what to do next, most ants don’t have a clue. “If you watch an ant try to accomplish something, you’ll be impressed by how awkward it is,” says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University.“Ants aren’t smart,” Gordon says. “Ant colonies are.” A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.Where this intelligence comes from raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive (蜂巢)if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals --- one of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group’s success --- seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.56.The author’s former false impression about ants is that he thought t hemto be _______.A. smartB. awkwardC. elaborateD. creative57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ants will function as a single body once a decision is made by thecommander.B. Ants are the only species which developed collective intelligence.C. The ant queen plays a role in managing ant workers besides layingeggs.D. An individual ant can’t comprehend the whole process of a bigmovement.58.The paragraph following the passage will most probably deal with _______.A. where we can observe such fantastic behavior of antsB. which is the leading ant in charge of the actionC. how the collective intelligence worksD. what inspiration can be drawn from the collective abilitiesBThe idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916 by a president of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to “make radio a household cause, so that by purchase of a ‘radio music box’, the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc.”Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts. A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐播音员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter(发射台)in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1000 people heard this first news broadcast.Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufactures provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One groupin New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners while others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium had a practicable industry, and it became a national forum(论坛)for news and popular culture.59.The passage is mainly concerned with _______.A. the contribution of radio to popular cultureB. the invention and uses of radioC. early radio programs for a mass audienceD. the history of radio broadcasting60.Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?A. Frank ConradB. David SarnoffC. Harry DavisD.Warren Harding61.After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because _______.A. people could easily get it in storesB. it was cheaperthan newspapersC. it had advantages over newspapersD. people wereinterested in anything new62.By saying that “the eventual financial basis of the new industry wasstill unclear”, the author means that _______.A. the private foundations were unwilling to support the stationsB. the stations were not sure yet where to get the operational moneyC. advertising and commercial programs could not raise enough moneyD. the listeners would not pay for the broadcasting stationsCIt could be said that the age of adventure peaked with Sir Everest Shackleton the moment his ship, the Endurance, become hopelessly locked in ice on its way to Antarctica in January 1915. For ten months the 28 men aboard Shackleton’s ship waited and prayed for ice to break. When it finally did, the Endurance sank, leaving the crew homeless and adrift on a sea of ice in one of the world’s most dangerous environments.In January 2000 a luxury ocean liner found itself similarly trapped in the cold waters off Antarctica. Argentine authorities sent off an icebreaker straight away from the nearest naval base, and in 24 hours, all 176 passengers and crew were free. The tour company’s spokesperson spun the potential disaster as a value-added reward in extreme travel. “The people on board are looking at this as so rt of a great adventure,” she said.Ever since Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air made Everest a household name, the subculture of adventure has blown up like a Himalayan avalanche(雪崩) into public consciousness. Magazines promise “extreme” content, television, offers adventure programs, and the growing collective fascination with adventure has produced a flow of published accounts about the world’s greatest adventurous journey. Nowadays more 4and more people are interested in adventure and this mass appeal makes good business sense. Today the only thing blocking a would-be adventurer’s passage to Antarctica is the cost---- which typically runs well over $10,000.Despite very different implications, adventure was just as popular in Shackleton’s time. He has little trouble filling the Endurance----5,000 men are said to have responded to his recruitment(招募) notice: “Men wanted for risky journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful.”After five months drifting on ice, the crew were forced to take to their lifeboats to Elephant Island. Reaching the wasteland, Shackleton went onwith one lifeboat and five of his best men 1,300 kilometers across the bone-chilly Scotia Sea to South Georgia Island. Shivering with cold, dressed in rags, Shackleton marched into a whaling station and set about organizing a rescue expedition to Elephant Island. Almost two years after becoming shipwrecked on ice, Shackleton picked up his crew. “Not a life lost, and we have been t hrough hell,” he remarked earnestly.63.We can learn from the first sentence of this passage that _______.A. the age of adventure began with the ship Endurance trapped in iceB. Shackleton’s adventure marked the highest point of pure explorationC. the age of adventure ended with the ship Endurance trapped in iceD. Shackleton’s adventure predicted that the golden age of explorationwas approaching64.The word “spun” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_______”.A. summed upB. judgedC. boasted aboutD.referred to65.Since Jon Krakauer’s book was published _______.A. the media have got interested in the topic of adventureB. the costs of extreme travel have gone upC. Everest has got its name known to EuropeD. people have got fascinated by Himalayan avalanches66.The adventure in Shackleton’s time has different implications fromtoday’s in that _______.A. Shackleton’s adventure lasted longer then any other adventurenowadaysB. no one was missing during Shackleton’s adventureC. Shackleton’s adventure was entirely for the sake of adventureD. Shackleton enrolled volunteers more easilySection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. 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.My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t. (67)________________________ You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.2. The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such asa mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.3. I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feelingthe power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. (68) ________________________ These are essential survival skills.4. If you’re like most people, you’ll spend most of your adult life thinking, “Once I’ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.” Then you’ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It’sa miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.5. Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice th at age. (These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.)6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. (69) ________________________ One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.7. Change your mind when you need to. I’ve noticed a tendency for people to think they’ve mastered investing when they’re young. They start investing at age 18 and think they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned morethan $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. (70) __________________________.10. Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. (On the other hand, always listen to your mother.)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.Meet The Member Who Quit SugarWhen I was 15, I weighed 100 kg.I was a size 20+ and hated the way I looked. I was a serial big eater and quite depressed. I would sit in front of the fridge, eat something, move to the cupboard, eat a packet of chips, and move back to the fridge.It was a heartbreaking cycle of hate and food. I didn’t feel confident, pretty, or worthwhile.Shopping made me cry, I avoided mirrors, and my social life came to an end. I actually lost friends because they told me I was antisocial. It became so bad that I wanted to abuse myself; my skin and my mind became my enemy.But then, I turned my life around. I quit sugar.It started with my mum. She staged an intervention (干预) that made me cry. I wanted to change - I needed to change - and she could see how unhappy I was.She put me onto a diet that mostly aimed to schedule meals, and - to my shock horror - cut out all processed sugar. It was so hard at first.I remember the shame of sneaking chocolate and candies when the three o’clock hunger hits.But the weeks kept coming and it just got easier. I stopped eating sugar, and I stopped loving it; simple as that.I substituted chips and biscuits for fruit and nuts, and had cup-of-soups after school when I was hit by the desire. I also had more energy, having a 20-minute walk with my dog into my everyday routine; I began to love that personal time.Cutting out sugar gave me so much more control over my body, and my outlook on life improved. So many people are intimidated by the words “quit sugar”. It’s not true. Fruit, honey, et cetera are natural sugars, and believe me, they fuel you better than chocolate bars ever could.Now I’m 17, turning 18, and I weigh 70 kg. I still struggle with my weight, but this is where I sit naturally, and I am very proud of myself.I never thought I would be confident enough to wear dresses or skirts, and take leadership roles to put myself out there and develop my social skills.I could never have done it without the support of my friends and family, and I urge everyone who wants to do right by themselves and change their diet - quitting sugar or otherwise - to share their decision with people. Develop a support network, online or offline, which can offer you advice or pick you up when you’re down. And I can assure you, from my own personal experience, your body will thank you, and you will thank yourself too.V.
