Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard.While I am awake,my email is always on.I don’t like-to be-without it for too long.A few hours away from it,and I start to tremble.I am,however,no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew,even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea,that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electronic devices.Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not10metes from my door.Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda(阳台).Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore.Without question, the long,slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul,and I found I could,in fact,log off.56.Why did the writer come to Kauai?A.To get away from the modern technology.B.To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Cafe.C.To write reports on technological development.D.1o find whether there is an alternative to email.57.What can we learn about the writer?A.He wrote articles about resorts around the world.B.He enjoyed beach activities like boat racing.C.He was eager to work in his backyard.D.He spent much time working online.58.The word“outraged”(paragraph4)is closest in meaning to“________”A.relievedB.shockedC.amusedD.disappointed59.The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in order to________.A.argue against his friends’doubt of KauaiB.propose a possible destination of his tripC.highlight the beauty of the beach of KauaiD.show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere(B)Self-driving CapabilitiesSensor and camera-equipped models from Audi and Volkswagen,among others, don’t just automatically brake to prevent minor accidents;they can actually navigate （行驶）around highway traffic and into garages without a human at the wheel.Attractive DashboardsIn addition to Ford’s new Sync system, which better understands voice commands, Apple and Google have partnered with automakers to create interfaces（界面）as user-friendly as the ones on your smartphone.Smarter HeadlightsAudi’s and BMW’s ultra-bright laser headlights can detect oncoming cars and dim slightly to avoid disturbing their drivers.One problem:they’re not yet legal in the U.S.Self-parking SkillsThe new model of BMW’s all-electric can find its own spot in a parking lot,then send signals via a smart-watch app to contact its drivers.60.In terms of Self-driving Capabilities,what makes Audi and Volkswagen stand out?A.Braking when sensing red lights.B.Going into garages without a driver.C.Stopping other cars on highway.D.Taking photos with a camera.61.Which of the cars can adjust the headlights in order not to upset drivers in oncoming cars?A.Ford and Volkswagen.B.Audi and BMW.C.Audi and Volkswagen.D.BMW and Ford.62.In which section of a car magazine does the article most probably appear?A.First Drive.B.Cars For Rent.C.Instrumental Tests.D.Smart Tech.(C)“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,”says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University.“It’s a stupid endeavor.”That’s an interesting choice of adjective,coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone as13-year-old dog named Missy.So far,he and his team have not succeed,though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon.They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring—or perhaps not for another five years.It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning.In three years of work on the Missy project,he and the A&M team has failed over and over again.The wastage of eggs and the many fetuses(胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls,he argues,but not with humans.“Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,”he says.Even so,dog cloning is a commercial opportunity,with a nice research payoff.Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in1997,Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs,cattle and horses.“A lot of people want to clone pets,especially if the price is right,”says Westhusin.Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner;he’s put up$3.7million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports,Missy is not dead.The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die.The prototype is,by all accounts,athletic,good-natured and super-smart.Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her.He knows her clone may not have her temperament.In a statement of purpose,Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are“both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog,the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs.nurture.It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However,Westhusin is cautious about his work.He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant,the offspring,should they survive,will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals:abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems.“Why would you ever want to clone humans,”Westhusin asks,“when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”63.By cloning Missy,Mark Westhusin and A&M team attempt to________.A.figure out the possibility of human cloningB.find out the differences between Missy and its cloneC.study why the prototype,Missy,is so athletic and smartD.show their love for lovely Missy since it has passed away64.It can be seen from the passage that dog cloning_________.A.was conducted long before the sheep cloningB.has gained an unexpected cold response from the societyC.has posed a great financial challenge to WesthusinD.can generate an enormous wealth of economic returns65.What is Westhusin’s attitude towards what he is doing?A.Careful.B.Optimistic.C.Passive.D.Indifferent.66.What can be learned from the passage?A.Current cloning techniques have proved quite adequate for human cloning.B.The outcome of Westhusin’s dog cloning project remains uncertain.C.Dangerous as it is,cloning is an incredibly efficient method.D.Westhusin thought it an interesting attempt to clone human beings.(D)When asked in1993to comment on accusations that the movie In the Name of the Father distorts（曲解）contemporary British and Irish history,female lead Emma Thompson responded that she couldn't care less.Even since the premiere（首映）in1915of The Birth of a Nation,filmmakers have rewritten history to create top-dollar entertainment. The films are very persuasive:well-made movies hold your interest continuously,drawing your attention to“what happens next,”and pulling you forward with no time to reflect on individual scenes until the final credits roll.The result:you don't remember much about a movie after watching it for the first time.For this reason,movies have extraordinary power-unmatched by any other medium-to leave you with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong,who is bad and who is good,even though critical details presented in the movies may be false.Well,so what?They're just movies.In fact they're not just lions of Americans are devoted history lovers, and they pack theatres every time new movies about historical figures or events come to town.Saving private Ryan and Titanic drew viewers and cash for months.Many high school teachers screen movies in the classroom.Clearly countless Americans get most of their history from television and the big screen.Some of the industry's finest historical and period films premiered during the past decades.But the1960s also saw a number of politically charged history-based movies full of factual distortions and,occasionally,outright lies.Today the trend continues on a larger scale:many movies released in the1990s and the first decade of the21*t century reflect lack of respect for solid,reliable history.History Goes to the Movies is a source of information and,it is hoped,entertainment for everyone interested in the actual history behind a wide selection of movies grouped into twelve sections--11covering historical periods and events and twelfth containing biographies and period films.Each movie review includes an essay on the history covered in one or more movies,and a brief plot summary.Star ratings(five stars:don't miss it)reflect each movie's historical accuracy and-to amuch lesser extent---its power to amuse.Obviously,expecting textbook accuracy from movies would be ridiculous-and producers have delivered a remarkable number of historically faithful movies.But some of them get too much of their history wrong.History Goes to the Movies isa guide,however imperfect,for readers and viewers aiming to get it right.67.Emma Thompson said________that In the Name of the Father was historically inaccurate.A.it didn't matter.B.it was upsetting.C.It aroused her attention.D.it wasn't obvious.68.By“in fact they're not just movies”(in paragraph2),the author means that________.A.some movies are much more profitable than othersB.movies serve more purposes than entertaining viewsC.movies tend to provide viewers with false detailsD.the movies about historical figures attract history lovers69.Which of the following is true of History Goes to the Movies?A.It is aimed at those who take interest in biographies.B.It rates a movie mainly according to how amusing it is.C.It introduces a movie's story as well as its related history.D.It focuses on the movies that presented history in a funny way.70.The passage is mainly intended to________.A.criticize the film industry's favoring entertainment over truthB.point out which films presented history in a wrong way.C.call on film directors to show respect for historyD.introduce a book involving history-based filmsⅣ.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.71.我能想到大多数老师的两个共同点：他们致力于教学，热爱学生。

上海名校2017年度高一第二学期期中试卷汇编-summary
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.Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情的) when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.【答案】House design may affect your figure. Four ways can help to control your diet. Dark light makes you eat more, so you should keep your room bright. Besides, decorating with cold colors can reduce your food-intake. Moreover, you can eat slowly with relaxing music. Finally, smaller tableware also reduces your appetite.(51 words)【分析】本篇文章第一段写房屋的设计方式会影响一个人的饮食摄入。

As we were going out the door, a young teenage boy was coming in. This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a set of blue spiked(竖起的)hair on top of it. One of his nostrils(鼻孔)was pierced, and a ring ran through the hole and a chain went across his face and was attached to a ring he was wearing in hisear. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.Caitlynd, who was walking ahead of me, stopped at once when she saw the teenager. I thought he’d scared her and she’d frozen on the spot.I was wrong.My granddaughter backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. Now I was face to face with the young man. I stepped aside and let him pass. His gracious response was a polite “Thank you very much”.On our way to the car, I praised Caitlynd for her manners in holding open the door for the young man. She didn’t seem to be troubled by his appearance but I wanted to make sure. If a grandmother talked about freedom of self-expression and allowing people their differences was suitable, I wanted to be ready.As it turned out, the person who needed the talk was me.The only thing Caitlynd noticed about the teenager, was the fact that his arms were full. “He would have a hard time in opening the door.”I saw the partially shaved head, the set of spiked hair, the piercings and the chain. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a door.In the future, I hope to get down on her level and raise my sights.1. What did the author think of the young man?A. Polite.B. Uncommon.C. Frightening.D. Funny.2. Caitlynd helped the young man because .A. she was scaredB. she didn’t notice his lookC. she wanted to avoid himD. it would be difficult for him to open the door3. The underlined sentence suggests that .A. the author was ashamed of herselfB. the author didn’t know how to give a talk on freedomC. a talk on freedom was useless for the granddaughterD. people should have more freedom to express themselves4. The author intends to tell us that .A. we shouldn’t judge a person by his lookB. we should allow people more freedom to dress differentlyC. we should be more helpful and tolerant to strange dressing of the youngD. we shouldn’t be too particular about people in life(B)Last week Amazon announced Word Runner, a new tool for reading Kindle books. Word Runner is a software update that shows one word at a time, instead of words, sentences and paragraphs on one page.Opinions about Word Runner are mixed. Carmen Blyth, ph.D., and a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL), says Word Runner is not optimal reading.In the Kindle Forums at Amazon, a commenter called CB Retriever says, “Thanks, but that absol utely will not work for me as I too do lines and blocks of text at a time – I think the last time I read word by word was back when I was learning to read.”Len Edgerly, business journalist and host of The Kindle Chronicles podcast, had a chance to try out Word Runner. In his podcast, Edgerly said that Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read.”Dynamic PacingWord Runner uses a feature called “Dynamic Pacing” to adjust the speed around complicated words. Dynamic Pacing automatically slows the speed of Word Runner for complicated words, punctuation, and paragraph breaks. It makes changes based on the natural rhythm of your reading.BrakeYou can pause Word Runner by tapping the pause button, called Brake:Brake lets you move words forward and backward. You can go back and re-read words using Brake.AvailabilityAccording to Amazon, Word Runner will be available soon for some English-language books on the Kindle app for Android devices and on Fire tablets.Word Runner will work with select English language Kindle books from Amazon sites in all countries, says an Amazon representative.Amazon has not yet said whether Word Runner will be coming to the Kindle app for iPhone and iPad.1. In CB Retriever’s opinion, .A. Word Runner provides one with necessary information to understand what he is readingB. good reader can read four words at a timeC. Word Runner is not so practical for him as he reads lines and blocks of text at a timeD. Word Runner is “a dramatically different way to read”2. From the passage, we can draw the conclusion that .A. Word Runner will soon be available for iPhone and iPadB. Word Runner will work with all English-language books in all countriesC. Word Runner is a software which updates one word at a timeD. People will soon be able to use Word Runner to read some English-language books on Andriod devices and Fire tablets3. “Dynamic Pacing” is designed to .A. regulate the speed of readingB. quicken the speed of reading something easyC. let you move words forward and backwardD. allow you to see all of the words on a page on your screen(C)In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it doesn’t actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinerywhich must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.1. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?A. To make jobs more varied.B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.C. Degree of work contribution.D. Demands for longer working hours.2. Why do workers want more money?A. Because their jobs are too boring.B. In order to enjoy more spare time.C. To make their job more interesting.D. To demand shorter working hours.3. The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers’ jobs more interesting, .A. they will want more moneyB. they will demand shorter working hoursC. more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them4. In this passage, the author tells us .A. how to make the workers more productiveB. possible factors leading to greater efficiencyC. to a certain extent more money lead to greater productivityD. how to make workers jobs more interestingA. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.E. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.（1） many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. （2）__________Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. （3）__________complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. （4） be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.1. She was busy (write) out sums upon the blackboard.2. (tell) the story, the old man got more and more excited.3. You should go to your teacher (ask) about it.4. The dictionary (belong) to Jack is missing.5.

Each word can be use only once. NoteT wenty years ago there was a debate about whether there were specific “Asian values.” Most attention ___31__ on the doubtful claims that democracy was not among them. But a more interesting, if less noticed, argument was that traditional family values were strong in Asia than in America and Europe, and that this _32____ accounted for Asia’s economic success. In the words of Lee Kuan Yew, former prime minister of Singapore and a keen _33____ of Asia values, the Chinese family encouraged “scholarship and hard work and thrift and deferment (推迟) of present enjoyment for future gain. ”On the face of it his claim still appears __34_____.

In contrast, half of marriages in some western countries end in divorce, and half of all children are born outside wedlock.

The changes are 36______ from those that took place in the West in the second half of the 20th century. Divorce, though _37___ in so me countries, remains ___38___ rare.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The term "cyberspace" was coined by William Gibson ,a science fiction writer in his 1982,and expanded on it a couple of years later in a novel Neuromancer. His _41_____ creation turned out to be remarkably prescient(有先见之明). Cyberspace has become shorthand for the computing devices, networks, fiber-optic cables, and wireless links that bring the internet to billions of people around the world. The _42____ made by these technologies have brought tremendous benefits to everyone who uses the web to _43____ humanity’s collective store of knowledge every day.But there is a darker side to this extraordinary invention.

I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year - we just won't go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday A YouGov survey of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for.” he explains. “They'll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”59. What does the author say about vacationing?A. People enjoy it all the more during a recession.B. It is the chief cause of family disputes.C. It makes all the hard work worthwhile.D. Few people can afford it without working hard.60. What does the aut hor mean by saying ‘money is known … to bring a relationship to its knees’(Lines 1-2, Para. 2)?A. Money is considered to be the root of all evils.B. Few people can resist the temptation of money.C. Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.D. Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.61. The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession ______.A. conflicts between couples tend to rise.B. couples show more concern for each other.C. it is more expensive for couples to split up.D. divorce and separation rates increase.62. The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should _______.A. put their money together instead of keeping it separatelyB. make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgetsC. discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationshipD. avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic(C)Attachment Parenting is not indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not "spoil" their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums (发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be "rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I'm pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them. But this is not for me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The "attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches.Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting. We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves.Attachment Parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don't hover. I supervise. I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don't slap curious hands away. I show how to do thing safely. I let my child do the things that my child wished to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust. I don't insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk in the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Long car journeys are even less pleasantB.During the day, sleep comes in snatchesC.But nothing can match them for speed and comfortD.you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpledE.you will be utterly exhausted before you are halfway through your journeyF.Also, you are invariably faced with numerous opinions different airlines offer for similar flightsPeople travelling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lures you to sleep._ 67____ At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find you ticket for inspection. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. 68________, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic. By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good food -- always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather,sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of travelling by sea.Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. 69_______. Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occup. An aero plane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain:70_____. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey.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.ICTS Benefits People in Impoverished AreasIn what concrete ways can information and communication technology (ICTs) benefit the two-thirds of humanity who are more concerned about their next meal than about e-mail or eBay?First, there are economic advantages of these technologies. Besides providing business with the opportunity to access real-time market information and complete business transactions economically, ICTs can reduce costs and provide a channel to market goods and services. One small company from Tanzania replaced $ 20 faxes with 10 cent e-mails and saw its telecommunications bill go from over $ 500 per month to $45 per month. In the business-to- section you will find examples like EthioGift .com which sells gifts, including sheep and al, cover the Internet.Health services also benefit from ICTs. Using the Internet ,doctors in poor can keep up to speed with the latest developments in their field as well as seek help from their peers. This technology can also facilitate the control of diseases. Throughout Africa for instance, individual cases of meningitis(脑膜炎) are tracked over the Internet so that epidemics can be stopped early.ICTs can make it easier to reach a broad section of population in education too. The African virtual university is a distance learning project which is partly financed by the World Bank, and which serves the countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The virtual university uses satellites to broadcast televised courses to students who communicate with teachers by e-mail and telephone.Finally, we come to what has been called “e-government”. E-government initiatives focus on making government transparent and accountable by providing citizens with direct access to information. Critics might argue that when you’re being stalked by war ,hunger and disease , this may not be a priority. But government is about more than just the ability to pay your taxes online or apply for a driving license over the Internet . It is about giving citizens access to information which allows them to make informed decisions on subjects that affect their lives.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.71. 要争分夺秒地复习功课，否则你会后悔的（against）72. 学校重建后，教师和学生有希望可以免费上网（expect）73. 他从未想到，如果不去管它，问题不会自己解决或神秘消失（Never…, occur）74. 我们坚信，只有那些有远大的志向，不满足于现状，勇敢面对挑战的人才有可能成功（likely）VI.

And those worries tend to intensify around times of transition---like the start of school.From the (1) ________ age on, says Jill Emanuele, a senior clinical psychologist, the most important thing for parents to do is to understand a kid’s worries. “When people say, I am worried or anxious,” Emanuele points out, “the first thing a lot of people want to do is say, ‘You are going to be fine. It’s going to be OK.”’ But when parents say say that, “you never give the person the opportunity to (2) ________what they are anxious about,” She says.

For parents, the strategies for helping high schoolers manage stress are the same as at any age: help them (12) ________their specific anxieties, and strategies to deal with it. But with high school kids, says Emanuele, there’s a(n) (13) ________step.

If so, then you’ve fallen 21_ to bad product placement (产品植入). Clever marketing folks want their products to be 22_ within a scene, but not the focus. When done correctly, product placement can add a sense of realism to a movie or television show.Product placement 23_ from as early as 1950s when a drinks company paid to have a character in the movie The African Queen toss loads of their product overboard. Since then, there have been countless placements in thousands of movies.Sometimes product placement just happens. A set dresser (布景人员) might think of something that 24_ the level of credibility or realism of the story. One example is the use of a can of ant killer in a violent fight scene in the popular television programme The Sopranos. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer said if the company had not been 25_ about the use of their product, they would not have given it a thumbs-up.Arranged product placement deals are more prevailing.

Before product placement really saw a rapid growth in the mid-1980s, it was pretty much ado- it-yourself 30_ . Now there are entire agencies that can handle the job.

There’s32 question that preventing strokes is important. But a big question is how best to do so and in whom.Currently, some expert say, far too many people who are free of 33 that might herald ( 预示) a stroke are undergoing surgery to ream out carotid arteries ( 颈动脉) that feed the 34 , or are having stents ( 支架) inserted in these arteries, than is justified by availableevidence.and create a risk of serious complications like heart attack or , 36 stroke itself, even death; and drive 37 health care costs by billions of dollars a year.Based on the latest research , they 38 , most patients without symptoms like a39 stroke or transient ischemic attack ( 短暂性脑缺血发作) do as well---or nearly as well—with intensive medical therapy to 40 blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.“ Intensive medical therapy is a much 41 way to prevent stroke caused by clots(血块) than either surgery or stent mg(支架植入术) ,” said Dr. David Spence, a stroke prevention specialist at the University of Western Ontario.But surgeons, even those who 42 the limitations of current research, say carotid endarterectomy (颈动脉内切手术), as the reaming operation is called, is the treatment of choice for many patients with serious 43 in one or both carotid arteries.

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 one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat .My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living .And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s .My sistermarried soon after, and I followed her example within the year .This was when I began to enjoy my first life .I was very happy, in excellent health .I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula in San Carlos .Life was a pleasant dream .Then the dream ended .I became afflicted (使苦恼) with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side .Thus began my second life… .In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car .And I managed to keep my health and optimism, to a degree, because of 14 steps .Crazy? Not at all .Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door .Those steps were a standard measure of life .They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living .I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---I could then admit defeat and lie down and die .Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life .It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads .Suddenly the steering wheel jerked (猝然一动) .In the same instant I heard the bang of a blowout .It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!I started the engine and thumped slowly along, keeping well over on the shoulder until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and honked the horn .The door opened and a little girl stood there .When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting .I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm .About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now .” “Thanks,” I said .“How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing .Cynthia told me you were a cripple .Glad to be of help .I know you’d do the same for me .There’s no charge, friend .” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way .” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it .”46 ．“A cat has nine lives” here means ．A．a cat can live nine times longer than any other animalB．a cat can die ninthC．a lucky man can not die easilyD．the writer will live nine times47．What do you think of the man who helped change the tire?A．Warm-hearted but pitiableB．Warm-hearted and happyC．A blind old man that has nothing to do everyday．D．A poor old man that is always ready to helpothers．48．How will the story be ended?A．The writer paid the little girl but the old man did notaccept．B．The writer drove away with tears running down hischeek．C．The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do．D．In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt before．( B )What we doEFP Courses provide courses in English language and British culture.

Attachment parents do not “spoil” their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums(发脾气)，ice cream for breakfast Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out They do not expect to be "rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold our children t hrough them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parents is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I'm pretty f ree-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock than and sleep with them. But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The "attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to than like parental leeches. Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting. We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves.Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don't hover. I supervise. I follow, I teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don't slap curious hands away. I show how to do things safely. I let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust. I don't insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the sidewalk because I know I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trustsme to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child- centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries. And that children are taught, not trained.52.According to the author, what should parents do when their kids cry?A.Rewarding kids with toys.B.Trying to stop kids crying.C.Holding them till they stop.D.Providing comfort and love.53.What does “free-range” mean according to the passage?A.Willing to give kids freedom of movement.B.Ready to play games with my kids.C.Curious to watch what games they play.D.Fond of providing a home base.54.Which of the following is NOT attachment parenting?A.Fostering their curiosityB. Helping them do the right thingC. Showing them how things are doneD. Standing by and protecting55.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.How to foster love in childrenB.

Decades of research (1)____________(confirm) this, including a famous 1995 finding by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley: By age four children raised in poverty have heard 30 million fewer words, on average, than their peers from wealthier families.
