2019-2020学年上海市金山中学高三英语下学期期中试题及答案
2019-2020学年上海市金山中学高三英语下学期期中试题及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery,London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism-while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital nearSaint-Remy-de-Provence,Francebetween 1889 and 1890. When theMuseumofModern ArtinNew York Citypurchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector fromAntwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art inNew York Citysince 1919.GuernicaGuernica,a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo National Centro de Arte ReinaSofiainMadrid.1. What do the four paintings have in common?A. They are oil paintings.B. They are kept inNew York.C. They show different people’s lives.D. They are created during 10th century to 19th century.2. What do we know about The Starry Night?A. It shows the scenery of a small hillside village.B. Van Gogh produced it when living in his home.C. A private collector gave it away to the museum.D. It was not famous before 1941.3. Whose painting shows the destruction of war?A. Jan van Eyck.B. Vincent van Gogh.C. Pieter Bruegel.D. Pablo Picasso.BOne weekend I went toBuffaloto talk at a writers' conference organized by a group of women writers. The women were serious about their writing skills, and the articles they had written were solid and useful. They asked me to take part in a radio talk show earlier in the week to publicize the conference-they would be with the host in the studio and I would be on a telephone linking from my apartment inNew York.The appointed evening arrived, and my phone rang, and the host came on and greeted me. He said he had three lovely ladies in the studio with him and he was eager to find out what we all thought of the present state of literature and what advice we had for all his listeners who were members of the literati and had literary ambitions themselves.This hearty introduction dropped like a stone among us, and none of the three lovely ladies said anything, which I thought was the proper response.The silence lengthened, and finally I said, “I think we should stop mentioning the words literature and literary and literati. We're here to talk about the skills of writing.” Iknew that the host had been given information about what kind of writers we were and what we wanted to discuss. But he had no other preparation. "Tell me what insights do you have about the literary experience inAmericatoday?” Silence also greeted this question.He didn’t know what to do with that, and he began to mention the names of authors like Ernest Hemingway and Saul Bellow and William Styron, whom we surely regarded as literary giants. We said those writers didn't happen to be our models, and we mentioned people like Lewis Thomas and Joan Didion and Gary Wills, whom he hadn't heard of. We explained that these were writers we admired. “But don't you want to write anything literary?” our host said We were speechless.It was one of the all-time upset radio talk shows.4. What do we know about the talk show?A. It was organized by women writers.B. It was publicized at the conference.C. The author went toBuffaloto take part in it.D. The author participated in it inNew York.5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A. The introduction struck us heavily with a stone.B. The introduction received embarrassing response.C. The introduction increased the listeners' interest.D. The introduction carried the host's praise for us.6. What was the author's reaction when the host mentioned the three great literary- giants?A. Excited.B. Inspired.C. Uninterested.D. Satisfied.7. Who may be the author's model?A. Joan Didion.B. Ernest Hemingway.C. Saul Bellow.D. William Styron.CBritish anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as withOlympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?8. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red9. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change10. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is11. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.DDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.12. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.13. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.14. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019-2020学年上海市金山中学高三英语下学期期中试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年上海市金山中学高三英语下学期期中试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFilms to watch in MarchGretaA lonely young waitress finds a handbag on aNew Yorksubway train. Luckily, the address is inside, so she returns it to the piano teacher who left it there. She then discovers that the piano teacher makes a habit of dropping bags around the city on purpose to make new friends. Directed by Neil Jordan, the actors are attractive. Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her. Thanks to them, Greta winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.The AftermathThe Aftermath is one of the few World WarⅡ-related films. Based on Rhidian Brook’s novel,this touching romantic movie is starred by Keira Knightley, who is the wife of a British officer. She hates the Germans because her son was killed in an air raid. But is there a chance that a tall, dark andhandsome man might persuade her to overcome her hate?Captain MarvelIt took Marvel Studios a decade to finally make a female superhero. It’s also the first Marvel film to be directed by a woman, who has directed Half Nelson and Missisippi Grind. Captain Marvel is set in the 1990s. The Oscar-winning Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers, a US Air Force fighter pilot, while Samuel L Jackson, as usual, plays Nick Fury.DumboDumbo is a classic Disney cartoon, who has big ears and there have been plenty of those kind of movies in recent years.Burtonalways has inspirations to direct such kind of movies from Edward Scissorhands to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Magical figures have always been his favorite characters.1. What makes Captain Marvel special?A. Winning Oscar.B. Its female director.C. Time setting.D. A woman pilot.2. Which film is better for a 7-year-old kid to watch?A. The AftermathB. Captain MarvelC. GreteD. Dumbo3. Where can you most probably read the text?A. Reader’s DigestB. NatureC. Scientific AmericanD. National GeographicBHidden beneath the surface in the roots of Earths astonishing and diverse plant life, there exists a biological superhighway linking together the members of the plant kingdom in what researchers call the "wood wide web".The network is comprised of thin threads of fungus (真菌) that grow outwards underground up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another. The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants provide carbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange, the funguses aid in gathering water and providing nutrients to its partnering plant.A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of theSouthChinaAgriculturalUniversityfound that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger.Like our Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll (叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants.Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change. Perhaps one day, we may be able to map out these complex networks entirely.4. What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To explain the aim of the web.B. To introduce the main topic.C. To give definition of diverse life.D. To show the importance of plants.5. The criminal behavior of plants can be seen as a way to________.A. compete for survivalB. gather more waterC. take in sunlightD. break natural rules6. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Animals can also feed on the fungus.B. Nutrient exchanges are too slight to detect.C. No experiment can prove the phenomenon.D. More needs to be done to work out the network.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The Partnership between PlantsB. The Unknown Roots of the EarthC. The Superhighway Linking the PlantsD. The Mysterious Map Changing the WorldCOur house was across the street from a big hospital so we rented our spare upstairs room to outpatients (门诊病人). One evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly sick-looking man.His face looked terrible — it was swollen and red. Yet his voice was pleasant. He told me that he came for treatment and that he’d been hunting for a spare room since noon, but no one would give him one. “I guess it’s my face...”For a moment, I hesitated, but his next words convinced me: “I will sleep in this rocking chair on the porch. My bus leaves early in the morning.”The old man had a huge heart inside his tiny body. He told me that he fished for a living to support his daughter, his daughter’s five children and her disabled husband.He didn’t complain while telling me his story. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was seemingly a form of skin cancer.The next morning, he said, “Can I come back and stay next time I need treatment?” I told him he was welcome to come again.On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some large oysters (牡蛎).

While some of the increase may be due to better detection, researchers also believe it’s because we’re spending more time outdoors in the sun, vacationing to warmer climates during the winter and using tanning beds. That rise is concerning, since melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.Most of us know to cover up and apply sunscreen on hot, sunny days, but when fall arrives, we tend to drop those habits. Experts warn that’s a mistake. Though there’s less need for sun protection after summer ends, exposure to UV rays still adds up.What precautions you should take to defend against melanoma during the cooler months depends on whereyou are in the world. That’s because the further away you are from the equator, the more UV rays weaken in the winter. “In southern England or Canada, the daily dose of UVA on a clear summer day is 6.5 times higher than on a clear winter day,” says Professor Brian Diffey of the British Association of Dermatologists. “People in those countries typically receive only about 5% of their annual UV exposure in the winter months.”But no matter where you are, even during colder, lower risk months, it’s a mistake to put your sun-protection habits on ice. “It’s important to wear sun-screen when there is a lot of glare from the snow,” says Victoria Mar, director of the Victorian Melanoma Service at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.Finally, you should monitor your moles(痣). “Early detection of melanoma is vital for successful treatment,” says Diffey. If it’s caught before it spreads to other parts of the body, the patient will have 99 % of chance to survive for five years. If it’s caught late, that can drop to 25%. Warning signs are a mole that’s changing size, shape or colour, or one that’s asymmetrical — sometimes referred to as “ugly duckling” moles. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.12. What’s the main cause of the rise ofmelanoma?A. The climate change.B. Better detection.C. More exposure to the sun.D. The increase ofskin cancer.13.What’s a mistake according to experts?A. Applying sunscreen in summer.B. Wearing sun-screen when there is snow.C. Using sunscreen during lower risk months.D. Dropping sun-protection habits in winter.14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Prevention is better than cure.B. Health is better than wealth.C. A disease known is half cured.D. When the sun comes in, the doctor comes out.15. What is the best title of the text?A. Detect Melanoma.B. Beware Winter Rays.C. Monitor Your Moles.D. Spend Less Time Outdoors.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back. Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made arobot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged. That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors and two sensors (传感器）that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary* It may someday help scientists create better artificial arras and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it，s damaged,” says Olaf Spoms of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”61.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?A. They cannot repair themselves.B. The computer has changed a lot.C. They have no computers inside.D. The computer cannot work if the robot changes.62. The new technology allows the robot to _.A.do house work for humansB.keep working after being damagedC.remember a lot of informationD.tell people where it is63. The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 5 refers to .A. sensorsB. robotsC. arms and legsD. scientists64. How do the sensors in the robol work?A. They can replace the computer when it’s broken.B. They can find out where the damage comes from.C.Wake up late,have a big breakfast and then wander down to the beach for the first swim of the day.A round of golf,a few cocktails and then dinner on one's yacht at sunset.You might think this is how the wealthy picture the autumn of their lives but in B ritain it seems that this is not the case.A new survey that almost 60% of wealthy people in the UKdon't want to quit working even when they pass the retirement age of 65.The organization Barclays Wealth interviewed 2,000 people, defining 'wealthy' as those over £1 million (10 million yuan) to invest It found that more people in the UK are avoiding the traditional concept of retirement than in any of the 19 other developed countries surveyed. Not everybody wants to spend the autumn of their lives at leisure. The group even has a nickname; those who never want to be retirees are called “nevertirees” in the survey.And their number is likely to grow over the coming years with 70% of people under the age of 45 in the study, indicating that even a golden handshake will not be enough to make them hang up their boots.“While m previous generations there have al ways been an energetic few with the health and drive (to keep working), many looked to create their wealth early on in life with a view to enjoying it when they retired/* said Greg Davies at Barclays Wealth.“This report reflects a different attitude, with wealthy individuals wanting to continue to challenge themselves well beyond the traditional retirement age.” he added.The survey was reported in many newspapers in Britain and it found its critics. “There's no point in working till you drop,” said Iain from Norwich, on the Daily Mail website. “Work to live, not live to work.”Sarah Harper, Professor of at the University of Oxford, disagrees. She says: “People want to contribute; they want to be doing something. Work gives people status, and at an age when you're incredibly experienced you may want to start a second career or even do something completely different from your previous professional life.”The survey raises an interesting question. What is it that really motivates us to work? Is it fear of poverty? Or just fear of boredom?68. We can learn from the survey conducted by Barclays Wealth that .A. less than half of the rich British people desire to enjoy retirement life when they are 65.B. most of the middle-aged people in Britain can't afford to retire.C. each of the 2,000 people interviewed has more than 1 billion pounds to invest.D. the UK has the largest number of people in the world that prefer early retirement69. What does the underlined phrase “hang up their boots” in Parag raphs probably mean?A.Lead a busy but meaningful life.B. Step down from their posts.C. Create their wealth.D. Develop hobbies in spare time.70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.A commentator said in the Daily Mail that people should work till they die.B. people postpone retirement because they want to achieve a greater fame.C.The previous generations tried to become rich when they were younger.D. 70% of the people under 45 have no intention to go on holidays after retirement.71. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. UK rich don't want to retire.B.A new nickname was invented.C. Fear of poverty and boredom.D. British people's changing attitude towards life.Section C (8'）Directions: 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. Within seconds I assisted in the formation of a three-level tower.B. Each team is famous for its tallest and most complex tower of people.C. Once a tower is built, try and see if the group can hold it for a count of 30.D. Since then it's been popular, with groups competing to build higher structures.E. Before long I was called forward and given the great honor of the President s Belt.F. I hoped to change my position because I knew that this activity required particular skills.The Tower and the GloryA large man jumps onto my shoulders. He is quickly followedby another slightly smaller man who catches my belt and moves Up.Another follows. Then I begin to move slowly from one sideto another dangerously.A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals in Spain, The activity of making human towers began almost 200 years ago near Tarragona, just south of Barcelona. (72) .It has become an annual event in some areas of the country. Usually it is considered a success once all castellers have climbed into their appointed places. On November 16,2010, castells were declared to be one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.Building a good human tower takes team work and skills. It is a formation of several people in which two or more p&ople support a level of higher people, who in turn may support other higher levels of people. Each person is wound into a long narrow piece of cloth worn around the waist to help other people hold tightly when they climb. Typically, the number of the people in each level is one greater than the level immediately above it, resulting In a triangular structure.(73) .At first I'd like to go on top to enjoy the glory, but the club'spresident indicateda little girl who looked as though she had been raised on the top. It was she who had pride of place on top of the tower.For my first try-out I was given the role of second hands. Once I had assumed my position,people began to climb up me to the tower Without warning. (74) My hard work must have been appreciated because I was quickly promoted to support the bottoms of the first level of the tower.My perfonnance in the “hands” section was obviously satisfactory, (75) .I was really proud of that, since it was a clear gesture that I had been fully accepted.第II卷（共40分）I.

If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me , you will really 1 facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal 2 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 3 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 4 from his blog.Hand-to-face 5 indicates a lie. (X)Each micro-expression is unique to 6 specific emotions because they are involuntary and the person is often 7 of doing it. But it doesn’t 8 mean that is lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be 9 information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues 10 the simple hand-to-face gesture.A liar refuses eye contact. (X)People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is试卷第2页，总12页spoken, not just when they are 11 a story or excuse. Oblique (倾斜的) eyebrows are a very 12 sign of sadness. 13 people can make this movement voluntarily, so it is actually never faked.Guilty knowledge technique is effective. (√)Policemen often use the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n) 14 . This is often used in polygraph (测谎) exams: “Was the person stapled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to show a physiologist 15 when the actual weapon is mentioned. 1．A ．realize B ．recognize C ．understand D ．remind 2．A ．appearances B ．postures C ．communication D ．gestures 3．A ．speaking B ．recognizing C ．indicating D ．noticing 4．A ．explanations B ．concentration C ．impression D ．expressions 5．A ．move B ．action C ．performance D ．gesture 6．A ．signaling B ．sighing C ．signing D ．maintaining 7．A ．clear B ．conscious C ．sure D ．unaware 8．A ．regularly B ．necessarily C ．meaningfully D ．probably 9．A ．holding on B ．holding up C ．holding back D ．holding with 10．A ．better than B ．less than C ．more than D ．rather than 11．A ．making out B ．working out C ．checking up D ．making up 12．A ．preferable B ．inevitable C ．reliable D ．suitable 13．A ．Quite a few B ．Very few C ．A few D ．Only few 14．A ．reaction B ．hesitation C ．impression D ．application 15．A ．stare B ．remarkC ．responseD ．reminder二、阅读理解Myth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. 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 makes your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.试卷第3页，总12页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 goon, 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, might find yourself in a stick 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. 16．The length of your hair is determined by ________. A ．cutting it often B ．your geneC ．the food you eatD ．clearing up the dead split ends17．According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will ________. A ．help you lose weight fast B ．help you lose weight slowly C ．cause you to become fatterD ．make you burn food more quickly18．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 ．Gun 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. 19．What does the phrase “best bet” mean? A ．A large sum of money. B ．An impossible action. C ．High expectation. D ．A wise solution.试卷第4页，总12页Something DifferentCityLooking for something a bit “different” this week, Radelifme’s new exhibitArts Center. Ms. Radcliffe has a unique way of viewing the things around her! I must admit that I didn’t really understand some of her works. For example, “Flowers” didn’t really seem to have any flowers in it, and I didn’t see any cars in her “Traffic Jam.” But her use of color is truly amazing. If you’re looking for a way to expand your horzons, go take a look. Weekend HoppingLast Sunday I went to see a new modem art exhibit by a young woman named Phyllis Radcliffe at the Century Arts Center. The whole gallery was filled with bizarre paintings and sculptures with names like “Flowers” and “Houses”, but I didn’t see anything thatInstead. I saw a bunch of things that looked like my 8-year-old granddaughter brings home from art class at school! I don’t know anything about modern art, but I do know that staying at home and watching an old movie on video would have been a lot easier on my brain.New DiscoveriesDigestI am delighted to recommend Phyllis Radcliffe’s new exhibit My Environment, now showing at the Century Arts Center. Ms. Radcliffe has evolved as an artist since her first show three years ago. Her use of color and form is breathtaking and her style shows a real passion for everyday thing in her life. While this exhibit may not be for everyone, I’m certain that many of you will find it both interesting and inspiring.试卷第5页，总12页20．The word “bizarre” probably means ________. A ．ancient B ．strange C ．remarkableD ．patriotic21．According to Sylvia Whitcombe, the exhibit is ________. A ．Phyllis Radcliffe’s first art show B ．beyond our understanding C ．well worth seeingD ．somewhat childish22．What can NOT be concluded about Phyllis Radcliffe from the three articles?

D ．Her works are disagreeable to the taste of some people.Just over a decade into the 21st century, women’s progress can be celebrated across a range of fields. They hold the highest political offices from Thailand to Brazil, Costa Rica to Australia. A woman holds the top spot at the International Monetary Fund; another won the Nobel Prize in economics. Self-made billionaires in Beijing, tech innovators in Silicon Valley, pioneering justices in Ghana —in these and countless other areas, women are leaving their mark.But hold the applause In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive. In Pakistan, 1,000 women die in honor killings every year. In the developed world, women lag behind men in pay and political power. The poverty rate among women in the U.S. rose to 14.5% last year.To measure the state of women’s progress, Newsweek ranked 165 countries, looking at five areas that affect women’s lives: treatment under the law, workforce participation, political power, and access to education and health care. Analyzing data from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, among others, and consulting with experts and academics, we measured 28 factors to come up with our rankings.Countries with the highest scores tend to be clustered in the West, where gender discrimination is against the law, and equal rights are constitutionally enshrined (神圣化). But there were some surprises. Some otherwise high-ranking countries had relatively low scores for political representation. Canada ranked third overall but 26th in power, behind countries such as Cuba and Burundi. Does this suggest that a woman in a nation’s top office translates to better试卷第6页，总12页lives for women in general? Not exactly. “Trying to quantify or measure the impact of women in politics is hard because in very few countries have there been enough women in politics to make a difference,” says Anne -Marie Goetz, peace and security adviser for U.N. Women.Certain conclusions are nonetheless clear. For one thing, our index backs up a simple but profound statement made by Hillary Clinton at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. “When we liberate the economic potential of women, we elevate the economic performance of communities, nations, and the world,” she said. “There’s a stimulativ e effect that kicks in when women have greater access to jobs and the economic lives of our countries: Greater political stability. Fewer military conflicts More food. More educational opportunity for children. By harnessing (利用) the economic potential of all women, we boost opportunity for all people.”23．What does the author think about women’s progress so far? A ．It still leaves much to be desired. B ．It is too remarkable to be measured. C ．It has greatly changed women’s fate.D ．It is achieved through hard struggle.24．In what countries have women made the greatest progress? A ．Where women hold key posts in government. B ．Where women’s rights are protected by law. C ．Where women’s participation in management is high. D ．Where women enjoy better education and health care.25．What does Anne-Marie Goetz think of a woman being in a nation’s top office? A ．It does not necessarily raise women’s political awareness. B ．It does not guarantee a better life for the nation’s women. C ．It enhances women’s status. D ．It boosts women’s confidence.26．What does Hillary Clinton suggest we do to make the world a better place? A ．Give women more political power. B ．Stimulate women’s creativity. C ．Allow women access to education D ．Tap women’s economic potential.三、六选四Directions: 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试卷第7页，总12页need.Surveys in Britain and America consistently show that the biggest worry parents have for their school-age children is that they will be bullied. In Japan more pupils commit suicide on September 1st, just before the start of the new term, than on any other day. 27．. Many victims are too ashamed to tell a teacher. One former victim who recently finished high school in Vancouver says he kept the pain to himself for several months, worried that teachers would “judge” him.Children who are from ethnic minorities, short, obese, disabled, gay or have poor social skills are at higher risk. In America bullies pick on “nerds”. In China and South Korea, by contrast, those with poor grades are at higher risk. A study in 2013 of the Arab world found that the best predictor of being bullied was having crooked teeth. 28．. A graduate student at Oxford University says he was “emotionally scarred for at least five years” after being tormented in middle school in Hong Kong.29．. In Britain all state schools have since 2006 been required to adopt a school-wide anti-bullying policy. By 2015 every state in America had anti-bullying legislation, States with the strictest laws, such as Massachusetts, require school officials to report all bullying to the head, who must “promptly conduct an investigation”.Central to tackling bullying in schools, argues Christina Salmivalli of the University of Turku in Finland, is to encourage bystanders to intervene. 30．. By teaching bystanders to speak up, or at least not to laugh at the victim, the “social rewards” of bullying can be reduced, she says.Other approaches abound. The International School of Beijing has security guards in every changing room. Many school-bus drivers in North America assign seats, keeping suspected bullies close to the front. Every classroom at Rhiw-Bechan School in mid-Wales has a “worry -box” for pupils to report bullies anonymously.A ．The main motivation for bullying is the drive for social status.B ．Victims of bullying may in turn bully others.C ．But bullied children everywhere risk long-term health effects.D ．But educators struggle to spot bullying, let alone to stop it. E. Cultural differences complicate the picture. F. Most rich countries have anti-bullying laws.试卷第8页，总12页试卷第9页，总12页第II 卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II 卷的文字说明 四、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

The parking lot to the church filled up quickly. I noticed, as I got out of my car, fellow church members 31． (whisper) among themselves as they walked in the church.As I got closer, I saw a man leaning up against the wall outside the church. He was almost lying down 32． he were asleep. His hat was pulled down so you 33． not see his face. He wore shoes 34． looked 30 years old, too small for his feet, with holes all over them, his toes stuck out.I guessed this man was homeless and asleep, so I walked on by through the doors of the church. We all talked for a few minutes, and someone mentioned the man 35． (lie) outside. People whispered but no one took trouble 36． (ask) him to come in, including me.A few minutes later church began. We all waited for the preacher to take his place and to give us the Word, when the doors to the church opened. In came the man walking down the church with his head down. People gasped and whispered and made faces. He made his way down the church and up onto the pulpit (讲坛) 37． he took off his hat and coat. My heart sank.There 38． (stand) our preacher... he was 39． “homeless man”. The preacher took his Bible and laid it on his stand. “Folks, I don’t think I have to tell you 40． I am preaching today.

We’d got lost trying to find our Airbnb, and were now at an address that looked 90% right. There were keys in the letterbox, 41． our host said they’d be. So when the security code didn’t work, I just grabbed them out through the narrow hole with my hands.试卷第10页，总12页…○………○……But when I was turning the keys in the lock, the door opened. A lady and her daughter looked out at us, 42．(puzzle). Definitely not our Airbnb then. Amazingly though, they didn’t scream at us, call the police, or both. For the next 20 minutes, they tried to help us find the right ad dress. And when we turned up nothing, they formally apologized to us — the foreigners who 43．(try) to break into their home.In Japan, there are many ways to apologize. The lady used “gomen-nasai,” 44．most people use the more casual “sumimasen.” Often translated as an apologetic “excuse me,” it 45．be heard in doorways, taxis, shops and restaurants in Japan.“Only 10% of ‘sumimasen’ is an apology,” 46．Laurie Inokuma, who holds a degree in Japanese from Cornell University. “Ninety percent is used to show respect, politeness and honesty,” she said. “It’s an everyday word. When someone does something for you, getting out of your way in the grocery store, or holding a door, ‘sumimasen’ is the common response.”Just as easily as a “thank you” or a “sorry”, “sumimasen” is regularly used to acknowledge the trouble someone has gone to for you. “There’s a modesty in it; 47．(depend) on the situation, it’s either apologetic or grateful,” Inokuma said.Erin Niimi Longhurst, a British-Japanese author, agrees. “There’s a culture of apology but also a culture of thankfulness in Japan,” she said. This year’s World Cup is an example of this level of courtesy: When Japan lost its final match, the team made headlines when they stayed behind 48．(clean) the entire changing room. They even left a thank-you note.If apologies are just one cog (齿轮) in the larger moving wheel of Japanese politeness, where does this cultural concept come from? “There is a need for politeness in Japan to get along with your neighbors living above you —it’s a respect for others,” Inokuma said. Japan has some of 49．(densely) packed cities in the world. 50．there’s a limit on space, it suddenly seems natural to become as considerate as possible.五、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 52． activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 53． event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 54． the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics -anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their pape r titled. When Math Hurts. “55．, this relation was not seen during math performance, 56． that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 57． math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 58． paths. We provide the first neural 59． indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 60． or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.” 六、汉译英Translation61．只有这所学校的学生才可以使用学校的图书馆。
