The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then __37__ ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical(伦理的) decisions is a(n) __38___ part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to __39___risks, because if we can't see the risks were taking, we can't make responsible choices. To recognize risks, we need to know the rules and be ___40___of the facts.For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism(剽窃)may accidentally use words or ideas without giving___41___credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote(引用) and cite sources as__42___. But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a(n) ____43___.Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselvesabout the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it, ","i'm not hurting anyone,or "I really need this grade. "Excuses can get very complex: "I know i'm looking at anothers exam,even though i'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not ___44___ because. I'm just checking my answers, not copying, We must be honest about our actions, and____45____ excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we,re not doing anything wrong, we can'tsee the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if.your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ___46___of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication thatyou're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.Ill. Reading Comprehension (43%)Section 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.(15%)A Study of Point of view and ArgumentEveryday life is an interaction(互动,相互作用) of points of view. Sometimes these interactions pass by virtually___47___ like when you find yourself forced to buy the newest cell phone but suddenly stop and ask yourself, Do I even need this thing? and then realize that the latest ad campaign has____48___ you of something without you really knowing it. Sometimes these interactions with others are obvious and deeply felt, like when an emotional argument__49___over why your father won’t quit smoking even though his health is __50____---you only see your desire for him to be OK, he only sees his independence, Then there are those times when these sorts of ___51__-feel delighted. like when you voice your opinion, as you do every year at the Thanksgiving table, about some political issue, and finally- after years of trying-see the ___52___ of hmm, you may be right' on your uncle's face.Advertising, media, novels and even the people you love often aim to___53___ our opinions. We see the usual practice of close reading not just as a method of doing the academic work of looking closely at text evidence, word and structure, but as an opportunity to bring those practices together, to ___54___our students to see the subtle messages in texts and in their lives, to help them be strong and ___55____consumers of ideas and reflective, caring members of society.One large, multi-year study suggested that many students graduated without being able to distinguish- __56___ from the influence of carefully designed opinions and public relations, We believe educators can help ___57___this. We want our students to be able to recognize the points of view and arguments in texts and in life to see when they are happening and to-__58____engage them. We want our students to listen to those points of view and arguments with an open mindto truly listen to what other people believe and respectfully __59____or question what they are saying. We also want our students to live with the confidence of ___60____ themselves to make sound-___61___, to make sense of the world, and to take risks.

Margery, the eldest of the three children, had signed up to the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby. The family lost touch and as the decades passed only a single letter gave a clue to where she might be The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested his writing to the paper.“That's what made it, the letter to the paper was written back a few months ago, he said.” it's as if a dream came true.

It covers almost every aspect of millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence - their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.Post-00s was film over a period of 10 years, during which the show's makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show's "character" grow older for real, and their stories are all real."Coming-of-age" stories, as they're known, have special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else' life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also cannot help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there's no re-writing of the script (副本) and there's no turning back - this is real life.This realness can also be seen in Boyhood. a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr. played by US actor Ellar Coltrane - from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.One of Boyhood's appeals comes from its "ordinariness". Mason Jr. isn't some child genius....He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs.He likes riding his bike and playing video games.While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary— the power of life itself.69. In the documentary, we see post-00's growing experience EXCEPT .A. how they deal with their studies.B. how they help look after brothers or sisters.C. how they get along with people of their ageD. how much they long to be independent of their parents70. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common?A. They're intended to win an award for best director.B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.C. They're a kind of reality show of ordinary kids' growth.D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.71. Audience are interested in "coming-of-age" stories because .A. they can see the truth of lifeB. they know the characters wellC. they are much fond of gossip.D. they appreciate stories of daily life72. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Post-00s are different geniuses.B. Actors are ordinary characters.C. Documentary is real lifeD. Life is one big StorySection C(4')Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.“Any apples today?” Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course. Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then 73 .All pretense(借口) of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood There were other generosities. 74 Effie was not a rich woman. Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. "Here, daring," I said, "is what I owe(欠) you", 75 "Give it back as I gave it to you - a little at a time.” I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks late. By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times. But curious thing began to happen.Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can't afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie’s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.76 At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled. So the account can be marked closed, for Effie’s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.第II 卷（21%）IV. Grammar (6%)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The Grasshopper in Van Gogh PaintingArt conservators(管理员) dream of finding hidden secrets in the masterpieces they lookafter. Rarely do they expect to find a dead grasshopper.Conservators at the Nelson-Atkins museum of art in Kansas City said they discovered thedead insect in one of its star paintings, Vincent van Gogh’s Olive Trees, when it (77)_______(scan) as part of the research for a catalogue of its French painting collection.It was spotted by Mary Schafer. She told a local broadcaster that she found it in the work’s lower foreground. Looking at the painting with the microscope，I came across the tiny body of a grasshopper covered in the paint, so it must have occurred in the wet paint back in 1889.“We can connect it to Van Gogh painting outside, so we think of him battling the elements, dealing with the wind, the bugs, and then he’s got to walk back to his studio through the fields. What’s fun is that we can come up with all these stories for (78)_______ the insect landed in the paint.”Schafer said they were curious to know if the grasshopper could be studied further to possibly identify (79) season Van Gogh painted Olive Trees.Michael Engel, a professor at the University of Kansas, was approached to examine the grasshopper further. He discovered that part of the insect’s body was missing and there was no sign (80) movement in the surrounding paint. In other words, it was already dead (81)_______ it somehow landed on the artist’s wet canvas and could not be used for dating purposes.Van Gogh painted Olive Trees in 1889, the year after his falling out with his friend Gauguin, (82)_______ may have led to his famous act of self-mutilation in the history of art: cutting off his own ear.The grasshopper may not help in any art historical research but it has become a talking point for museum visitors, looking closely into the painting to see whether they can spot the dead insect.V.

When I took him my shoes, he at first told me,“I haven’t time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street. He’ll fix them for you right away.”But I had my eyes on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人).“No.”I replied ,“The other fellow can’t do it well.”“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys —without knowing much about mend ing shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙),looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said ,“Come back in a week.”I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?” he said with pride, “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.1. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?A．He was equipped with the best repairing tools.B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais.C．He was proud of his skills.D．He was a native Parisian.2. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” (Paragraph 7) implies that .”A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like himB．it was difficult to communicate with this manC．the man was very strangeD．the man was too old3. According to the author, many people work just to_______.A．realize their abilities B．gain happinessC．make money D．gain respect4. This story wants to tell us that_______.A．craftsmen make a lot of money B．whatever you do, do it well C．craftsmen need self-respect D．people are born equal【答案】CACB(B)Have you ever noticed that lessons tend to repeat themselves? Does it seem as if you married or dated the same person several times in different bodies with different names? Have you run into the same type of boss over and over again? If you don't deal well with authority figures at home, then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world. You will continually draw into your life people who need to enforce authority, and you will struggle with them until you learn the lesson of obedience.You will continually attract the same lesson into your life. You will also draw toyou teachers to teach you that lesson until you get it right. You may try to avoid the situation, but they will eventually catch up with you. The only way you can free yourself of difficult patterns and issues you tend to repeat is by shifting your perspective so that you can recognize the patterns and learn the lessons that they offer. To face these challenges means you need to accept the fact that something within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue ,though that situation or relationship may be very painful.The challenge, therefore, is to identify and release the patterns that you are repeating. This is no easy task, since it means you have to change, and change is not always easy. Staying just as you are may not help you advance spiritually, but it certainly is comfortable in its familiarity.Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces you to admit that the way you have been doing thing isn't working. The good news is that by identifying and releasing the pattern, you actually learn how to change. In order to facilitate(促进，使更容易) you process of change, you will need to learn the lessons of willingness and patience. Once you master these, you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less intimidating.(令人惊恐的)1. The underlined sentence “lessons tend to repeat themselves” probably means that _____.A. You tend to marry and date the same person.B. There are the same authority figures home and abroad.C. You tend to run into the same problems in your life.D. There are many difficult patterns and issues in your life.2. Which of the following is TRUE about the idea of staying just as you are?A. Comfortable but discouragingB. Natural but painfulC. Disturbing but easyD. Challenging but practical3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The challenge is difficult unless you admit old behaviors hinder your development.B. It is your inner desire that decides your success in making a change in your life.C. You are likely to avoid repeated patterns and issues when you know how to obey.D. If determined to change, you absolutely can but at the cost of some sacrifices.4. What is the writer probably going to talk about in the next paragraph?A. The way to recognize the patterns and learn the lessons that they offer.B. The kind of person that you are willing to change into.C. The role that patience plays in creating a change within yourself.D. The importance of facing the challenge bravely to make your change easier.【答案】CABC六、翻译1．人们认为无土种植的蔬菜更加有益于我们的健康。

George and I leftC. several weeksD. we got a surpriseBAmerican are more stressed than ever, according to an American Psychological Association survey, and nearly one-third say stress impacts their physical or mental health. If you have any of these symptoms, your stress might be making you sick. Here’s how to battle against them.If you’ve never suffered from headaches but suddenly your head is constantly striking, you might be too stressed. Stress releases chemicals that can causes changes to nerves and blood vessels in the brain, which brings on a headache. Stress can cause them or make them worse. It’s also common for your muscles to tense up when you’re stressed, which can also cause a headache.WHAT TO DO:If you don’t want to take medicine, try spreading lavender（薰衣草）oil on your temples（太阳穴）when a headache starts. Or try one of these home remedies for headaches.Stress can make you mentally sick, too. Too much of the stress hormone cortisol（皮质醇）can make it harder to concentrate, causing memory problems as well as anxiety or depression, says Dr. Levine.WHAT TO DO:Relax until you regain your concentration. Practise closing your eyes and breathing in and out slowly, concentrating only on your breath.Losing a few strands of hair is normal (old hair follicles are replaced by new ones over time), but stress can disturb that cycle. Significant stress pushes a large number of hair follicles into what’s called a resting stage and then a few months later those hairs fall out, according to MayoClinic. org. Stress can also cause the body’s resistant system to attack your hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.WHAT TO DO:Be patient. Once your stress level returns to normal, your hair should start growing back.60. If you’re stressed, you might have one of the following symptoms EXCETP that _______.A. you keep getting headachesB. your hair is falling outC. you always have a coldD. your brain feels confused61. Which of the following is suggested if your brain goes out of focus?A. Breathing slowly with your eyes closed.B. Waiting until your brain returns to normal.C. Spreading lavender oil on your temples.D. Relaxing and attacking your brain softly.62. What will happen once we get over our stress according to the passage?A. Our hair starts falling out and then grows back.B. Our body’s resistant system attacks your hair folliclesC. Our hair starts growing again.D. A serious headache starts.CIn a class this past December, after i wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”“ I can’t read my own handwriting,” the young woman explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”That remark started a class -- wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo - taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information -- it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashion instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down engages a student’s brain in listening, visual, and kinesthetic（触觉的）learning --- a view supported by a longstanding research. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory, and to process and combine it, establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.Taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs. So can the two be equally effective?63. The woman apologized in the class because she _______.A. had the bad handwritingB. missed the teacher’s directionsC. took a picture of the boardD. disturbed other student’s learning64. According to the passage, which of the following may NOT explain students’ reluctance to take notes?A. They lack proper techniques for taking notes.B. They want to listen more attentively in class.C. They believe smart phones are much safer for storing notes.D. They want to have the exact version of the notes on the board.65. According to the passage, taking notes by hand_______.A. requires students to think independentlyB. helps students actively participate in learningC. proves to be an old and useless learning methodD. seems unsuitable for students to learn ne ideas.66. What I the main idea of this passage?A. The traditional way of note-taking should be replaced.B. A modern way of not-taking is catching on.C. Note-taking by hand is not out of date.D. A picture is worth a thousand words.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Start simply.B. A personal website is not usual today.C. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.D. Pay attention to the contents of your website.E. At the top of the page is a banner（横幅）GRAPHIC.F. Next, gather up the material you want to put on the site.How to Build Your Own WebsiteSixty years ago, people asked about your astrological（皇座）sign. Nowadays, they want to know your website. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent.

Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you designit.While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout（编排）. ____68_____ Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site.

上海市复兴高级中学2018学年第一学期期中考试高一年级英语试卷第I卷I. Listening ComprehensionII. Grammar and VocabularySection AWe’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people __21__ are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible __22__ we all have compromised(受损的) conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation __23__ it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an important social practice that results __24__ big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he __25__ (remark). “The key to successful small talk is learning how __26__ (connect) with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group __27__ (ask) to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only __28__ necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的)members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel __29__ significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes __30__ (develop) such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.Section BTwo years ago, when Jordie Rowland came into the barbershop the first time, it was a “disaster”, __31__ Lisa Ann McKenzie recalls. The little boy struggled with his parents to run outside the moment he got in the shop. McKenzie ended up walking around the barbershop with Jordie that day, even __32__ on the floor with him. She finally got in a few quick cuts, but stopped when she saw that Jordie was very upset.The 10-year-old has autism(自闭症). Even a simple haircut can be painful and __33__ for some autistic children, Jordie was no different.McKenzie felt that she’d failed, but it also made her want to do better, “I wanted to learn more about autism so I could __34__ with him and take away his fear,” says the barber.After the first unsuccessful haircut, McKenzie suggested to Jordie’s parents that they bring him back every two weeks at __35__ time. She would cut just a little bit each time, often at no __36__, and the boy would run around the shop as always. That went on for a few months. McKenzie even went to Jordie’s house to give it a try. No luck.One day, the __37__ of the barbershop got mad at McKenzie for allowing a customer to come in after business hours. Frustrated, she left that job. Soon after, she opened her own shop.Every two weeks, Jordie would come by McKenzie’s shop after it was closed. This __38__ about eight months.Then, a few weeks later, they had a breakthrough, McKenzie sang “The Wheels on the Bus” to Jordie. To her surprise, the boy looked at her as if mesmerized(着迷的). Then McKenzie gave him a full haircut for the first time. The moment McKenzie finished her job, she and Jordie’s parents all realized their painfully slow, two-year __39__ had paid off.By the time Jordie’s haircut was a success, he was far from her only autistic customer. Word had gotten around town that McKenzie was pretty good with special needs kids. She started cutting the hair of many other “special kids.” She also plans to hold a monthly Sunday set aside only for these beautiful, __40__ children.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AHundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are universal. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really __41__ facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal __42__ and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s deceptions(骗术) and on many occasions, to be skilled at deceiving in order to get the truth.Is there really much truth behind this science of __43__ human emotions through involuntary(无意识的) expressions? Paul Ekman, a renowned psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific adviser and keeps a blog, where he explains the science behind each episode of the series. The following are some __44__ from his blog.Hand-to-face __45__ indicates a lie. (X)Each micro-expression is unique to __46__ specific emotions because they are involuntary and the person is often __47__ of doing it. But it doesn’t __48__ mean that is lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face.

The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends. This make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says Nei Izenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two,” suggests Dr. Izenberg.56.The length of your hair is determined by ________.A. cutting it oftenB. your geneC. the food you eatD. clearing up the dead split ends57.According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will _________.A. help you lose weight fast.B. help you lose weight slowlyC. cause you to become fatterD. make you burn food more quickly58.What does the phrase “best bet” mean?A. A large sum of money.B. An impossible action.C. High expectation.D. A wise solution.59.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow it a few days later.D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.(B)The Wind and the Leaves“Come, little leaves,” said the wind one day,“Come over the meadows with me and play.Put on your dress of red and gold;For summer is gone, and the days grow cold.”Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,Down they came fluttering, one and all,O’er the brown field then they danced and flewSinging the soft little songs they knew.Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went,Winter had called them, and they were content.Soon, fast asleep on their earthy beds,The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.--George Cooper60.What does the poet mean by “Singing the soft little songs they knew”?A. They echoed the call of the wind.B. They celebrated the arrival of fall.C. They were being blown about everywhere.D. They were making a rustling sound as they dropped from the trees in the wind.61.What kind of literary device(文学修辞) does the poet use?A. Metaphor 暗喻B. Alliteration 押头韵C. Personification 拟人D. Simile 明喻62.What’s the mood of the poem?A. Joyful.B. Realistic.C. Sorrowful.D. Sad.(C)We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment- and our wallets - as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life - from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout(读数) for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices - We continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption(消耗) and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what’s the solution? The team’ s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tabletfor word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.63.What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.64.Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.65.Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.66.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.Section CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. And adults usually have different motivators（动力）.B. This means that they reflect on the language they learn.C. And 40% stated they could not reach their international potential（潜力）because of language barriers.D. And 66% of Europeans know at least one other language, compared to just 20% of Americans.E. For example, the AAAS notes that learning a second language improves cognitive ability, and assists inlearning other subjects.F. As a result, the vast majority（89%）of American adults who know a foreign language say they learned it intheir childhood home.While the U.S. is home to over 350 different languages, according to a report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences（AAAS），most Americans are monolingual. And this limitation can negatively impact individuals,U.S. companies, and even the country as a whole.Other findings: up to 30% of U.S. companies have stated that they’ve missed business opportunities in foreign countries because they didn’t have in-house staff who spoke the dominant languages of those countries. ___67___ However, one of the most striking and alarming examples of the importance of learning a foreign language happened at the appearance of the 2004 avian flu epidemic. According to the AAAS, scientists in the U.S. and other English-speaking countries did not originally understand the magnitude（重要性）of avian flu because they could not read the original research—which was written by Chinese researchers.In fact, the report notes that just 200,000 U.S. students are studying Chinese, compared to 300 to 400 million Chinese students who are studying English. ___68___Many European countries have national requirements that students must learn at least one foreign language by the age of 9, according to data from the Pew Research Center. In the U.S., school districts are typically allowed to set their own policies, ___69___But children and adults learn foreign languages differently. Rosemary G. Feal, executive director of the Modern Language Association, tells ThoughtCo,“Children generally learn languages through games, songs, and repetition, and in an immersive environment, they often produce speech spontaneously（自发地）.”However, Feal explains that with adults, studying the formal structures of the language is usually helpful. They also learn in a more conscious way. Adults have strong metalinguistic awareness, which children don’t have. ___70___“For example‘Is this the best word to express what I want to say’”or‘Did I use the correct grammar structure?’”Feal explains.第Ⅱ卷Ⅰ.

Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body, I also had to deal with my parents’ painful separation, a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.When we moved, my beloved companion, a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn’t eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally, realizing how much I missed my pony, my father bought me another horse, Cowboy.Cowboy was without do ubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reasons.I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance, we were quickly “shown the gate”.

I chose thejumping race.For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home, totally exhausted.All of our har d work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.My turn finally came. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day.
