2018年长宁区高考英语二模试题II. Grammar and VocabularySection AA Great FriendshipThomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776. Could it have been any other year? TheyJefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. They also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?po1itical principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that longvindicating to posterity the course that we've pursued for preserving to them, in all their purity, their blessings of self-government, which we had assisted in acquiring for them. If ever the earthgeneral interest and happiness of those committed to it, one which, protected by truth, can neverpillar of support throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last affections."harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. 29 they are a source of pleasure to you, what aren’t they not to be to me? We cannot be deprived of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good with Which we discharge the trust committed to us and I indulgeafter we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld whilst we are here. "He is kindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed to have changed a lot from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to __31__ himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife __32__ me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists he finds it __33__ toproduce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The V egetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still __34__ light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. Not one of them can tough his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and __35__ of character. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will __36__.Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he __37__ great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it he criticizes with passionate earnestness. I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelist’s book, to take what must have been hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful __38__.Just what he will write in the future remains __39__. With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be __40__ the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AStandards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效) Quality teaching depends on not just teacher’s knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work __41__ with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their __42__.If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the __43__ of each aspect of their work – a practice reinforced by their accreditation(评定) requirements, - schools must have regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school __44__, like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, __45__ samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, __46__ looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make __47__ about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力) for principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the __48__ and comparability of school-based assessments (as in England and A ustralia), as well as school’s internal assessment and evaluation process (as in HongKong).In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ __49__ and progress o n a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social __50__, the acquisition of workplace skills and the __51__ to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a __52__ lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedback on what the inspectors both saw and __53__. Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert __54__ and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be __55__ if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42. A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices43. A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements44. A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. consideration45. A. taking B. improving C. examining D. copying46. A. as far as B. rather than C. other than D. as well as47. A. judgments B. decisions C. inquiries D. suggestions48.

A. set down B. put down C. closed down D. pulled downSection B(A)NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWSWarning from ExpertsA growing amount of human-made orbital debris (太空轨道残骸)一from rocket stages and out-of-date satellite ---is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “ This is a growing environmental problem,” said Nicholas Jonson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellitelaunches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused o limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting t he Earth. “Of the 13 000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson sand. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35, 000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an object's orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem. “Johnson admits. “It’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove spaces junkB. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly neededD. Human activities generate much orbital debris57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches Space Tech CultureB. Space junk is endangering human beings' space activitiesC. It's necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junkD. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?A. ReasonableB. UnbelievableC. ReliableD. Impractical(B)Eye Scan Technology Comes to SchoolsABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submit to iris(虹膜) scans, as the technology that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.this high-tech security system on Monday with funding fromthe Department of Justice as part of a study on the system’seffectiveness.As many as four adults can be authorized to pickup each child in the district, but in order to be authorized tocome into school, they will be asked to register with the district’s iris recognition security and visitor management system. At this point, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like Orlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details—far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urban sch ool to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pick up a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.59. Why does the Freehold Borough School District adopt the eye scan security system?A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.60. What’s the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.61. How does Phil Meara help to protect the safety of children?A. By asking people to register with the security system.B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.C. By asking the department of justice to fund this program.D. By turning to Orlando International Airport for help.62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan SystemB. Security Management Needs Improving.C. High Technology Comes to SchoolD. Iris Scanners are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-1b. body flew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty Pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round com puffs across the room Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board Con-Tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off. Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.It was only 7:30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain, a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. I did very poorly in school \wereconstantly on her case for tough behavior. \They just felt I was being bad---too loud, too physical, too everything \diagnosis\The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma \she did fine in physically active jobs but was anxious about administrative work. Then, four yeas ago, a doctor put a label on her troubles: ADHD. “It's been such a weigh off my shoulders\says Bloomgarden, who takes both stimulant Ritalin and the antidepressant Zoloft to improve her concentration. “I had 38 years of thinking I was a bad person. Now I'm rewriting the tapes of who I thought I was to who I really am.”63. What does the phrase “throw a fit” in the 1st paragraph probably mean?A. turn oneself around casuallyB. fall down to the ground carelesslyC. lose one's temper suddenlyD. shout and complain loudly64. Why did Dusty Nash mess the room?A. He was reluctant to listen to his motherB. He couldn’t focus on anything f or a whileC. He forgot to take the medicine he usually tookD. He was afraid to see the doctor with his mother.65. The passage is chiefly concerned with _______________A. the visible symptoms of the disease ADHDB. the precise definition of the disease ADHDC. Dusty's experiences in his childhood and collegeD. Karenne's confessing of cheating to get a diploma66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dusty went to see his private doctor every week in the past years.B. Dusty's mother took care of him till he was admitted to a collegeC. A psychologist examined Karenne and cured her serious disease.D. Karenne didn't know herself well until she was diagnosed with ADHDThe Minoans: A Forgotten PeopleThe first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years,knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths.____67____ With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records, These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. ____68_____ These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Expert analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. ____69____ Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant décor(装饰品). ____70_____ The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingThe Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B.C., a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B.C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility.From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not a important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary, only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.V. Translation72. 我们必须尽快适应新环境。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A surprising case of exploitation (剥削) of the poor has surfaced in India after the authorities cracked down on a gang of “blood-suckers” who stole blood from helpless victim locked in a smelly basement. “Five people have been arrested in connection with this ring which may have been connected to local hospitals and a local university,” announced the head of police, who also added that some of the victims had been imprisoned by the gang for nearly three years.Acting on a tip-off, the police attacked a house in Gorakhpur. There they found 17 persons who were described as having been “reduced to skeletons”. They were too weak to stand and had to be brought to the hospital in stretchers.Pappu Yadav, the supposed gang leader, managed to escape the authorities, together with three gang members. A reward has been announced for his capture and the government has announced that it will use every available resource to hunt him down. Meanwhile, the police are piercing together the operation of the gang. The five arrested, who had experience working as lab technicians, told investigators that they had attracted poor laborers with offers of profitable jobs. Once the poor people agreed, the gang forced them to take blood tests. Initially, they were paid 1,500 rupees to donate blood on a frequent basis. Then, as they got weaker and weaker,the gang drew blood from them daily.Each of the five arrested has been charged with illeagal imprisonment and attempted murder, facing up to 14 years in jail. Locals have blamed the state of the nation’s economy and the disparity(分配) between the rich and the poor for this incident. Even though India’s economy has seen rapid growth over the past few years, the people at the bottom have yet to see its benefits reach them and more than a-third of India’s one billion people live on less than one U.S. dollar a day65.Which of the following statements is NOT true accroding to the passage?A.There were at least nine members in this hateful gang.B.The police found the victims were all skin and bones.C.All the gang members used to work as lab techinicians.D.Some hospitals and a univerisity were involved in this case.66.

Poor Indians haven’t benefited from India’s economy growth.D. Indians at the bottom contribute a lot to India’s economy growth.68. What may be the best title of this passage?A.Crimes in IndiaB.A Terrible Bloody CaseC.The Blood SuckersD.Poor Indians’ Suffering69. The orgnization, S.K.I., aims to ______________________.A.provide schools and social support for street childrenB.give business training and loans to street childrenC.share the lessons S.K.I learned to help street childrenD.draw the attention of the govenment to street children70. According to the passage, what is the most probable reason why children end upliving on the street?A.UnemploymentB.Adventurous play.C.Urban crimesD.Poverty71. This passage implies that with the help of S.K.I street children may _____________________.A.reject paid employmentB.leave their familiesC. set up their own businessD. employ other children(C)Disappointed with delays in Sacramento (the capital of California), Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands to regulate the region’s growing piles of electronic waste.A San Jose council woman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would propose new local plans aimed at controlling electronic waste if the California law-making body fails to act on two bills delayed in the Assembly. They are among a growing number of California cities and countries that have expressed the same intention Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned about the danger caused by old electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computerss become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead (铅) and other dangerous substances, and are already banned from California landfills.A bill by Senator (参议员) Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ray tube. Used in almost all video monitors and televisons, those devices contain four to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.A sepearate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste. If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state shops.“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the dust bin,”said Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics association.Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contracted to junk dealers who send the poisonous parts overseas.“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural China,”said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group is pushingfor some refinement to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export of e-waste.72. How would Bay Area officials deal with the problem of e-waste?A.To get enough support to pass the delayed bills.B.To persuade the lawmakers of the California Assembly.C. To make relevant local regulations by themselves.D. To put pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.73. What do the two bills delayed in the California Assembly both concern?A.The reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state.B.The regulations on dumping dangerous substances into landfills.C.The funding of local initiatives to reuse waste electronic devices.D.The sales of the second-hand electronic devices to foreign countries.74. High-tech groups believe that if an extra fee is charged on every TV or computer purchased in California, consumers will _________________.A.hesitate to upgrade their computersB.abandon online shoppingC.strongly protest against such a chargeD.buy them from other states75. We learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste has been ____________.A.dumped into local landfillsB.exported to foreign countriesC.collected by non-profit agenciesD.recycled by computer manufacturersSection CDirections: Reading the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragragh. There is one extra heading which you do not need.If you are interested in personal development you have probably heard Brian Tracy’s words, “You are what you think about most of the time”. It is true, by thinking about something enough you push it into your subconscious, your mental computer that works 24 hours a day.76.________________When you dream your conscious turns off, giving you a view of what is going on in your subconscious. Y o u most important work will be done when you sleep. Your mind will be working without your conscious getting in the way. It will be solving problems you don’t even know you have and present you with solutions.77.________________Your dreams mirror your thoughts. It is your subconscious.B y pushing a message into your subconscious it will be a part of your dreams. But to get something into your subconscious takes effort. You need to think about it constantly, write it down, visualize it, repeat it to yourself and almost become obsessed by it.78.________________Once you have pushed your thoughts into your subconscious you will start dreaming about solutions.You will then start to see changes in the world around you and before long you will become what you have dreamed about.In shorter time then you can imagine you can do extra ordinary things.I f you have read “Think and Grow Rich” By Napoleon Hill, he shares this advice in his book and shows examples of how some of the most successful men and women have changed their lives and gone from rags to riches in just a short time.79._________________Most of us have a speical skill to think about more about the negative, but the danger of this is that you will be pushing this into your subconscious, making your mental computer work on solutions to give you even more greif.If you are to succeed you have to change your mental programming. In addition, you have to become a more positive person, focusing on the good and on solutions.80._________________Keep repeating positive messages to yourself throughout the day. If you want to rekindle the romance in a relationship it can be enough to repeat to yourself day in and day out “I love my wife or partner”.T his will push it into your subconscious and your will start finding solutions to make it reality. In addition, when you have your goals in writing it becomes easier to think about them. You can spend time reading them every day. You can write down plans, think about ideas and so on. All this will push your goals deeper into your subconscious and help you speed up your success.Section DDirections:Read the passage caerfully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.In West Africa in 1900, a British governor’s demand that an Ashanti tribe give up a golden stool started a small war. The governor, believing the stool to be a throne(宝座), thought that possessing it would establish his authority over the tribe.The stool, however, was no mere throne; it was a sacred relic (圣物) that contained the spirit of the tribe. It was so sacred that even the Ashanti chief would not sit upon it. Rather than give up the stool, the tribe hid it. British soldierswere ordered in, and many people were killed. However, this war and its tragic consequences could have been avoidable.The science of anthropology, the study of people, how they live and their customs and beliefs, began in the mid 1800s. At that time, anthropologists believed that human culture developed from lower to higher forms of society and technology. However, by the time of the governor’s stupid mistake, those early beliefs had given way to the study and documentation of differences between cultures. Had the governor consulted an anthropologist, he would have had a much better chance of understanding the real meaning of the stool, and many lives could have been saved.Modern anthropologists study every level of society. One of their main goals is to uncover common patterns of human behavior. To avoid mistakes like that made by the unfortunate British governor, people rountinely seek the advice of anthropologists.For example, the Peace Corps send volunteers around the world to help people in unindustrialized countries learn how to improve their lives. This was a noble idea. Yet in the early years of the Peace Corps, most volunteers were inexperienced, and few bothered to learn the language of their assigned country prior to their arrival there. Today, thanks to anthropology, the Peace Corps has changed. Its volunteers are more experienced. They have some basic language training, and they have learned how to understand and show respect for the customs and beliefs of other nations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81. Why did the British governor what the golden stool?82. The British governor’s mistake could have been avoided by___________________________.83 What’s the goal of the Peace Corps?84. In the passage the author expresses his viewpoint that _______________________________.第II 卷 (共 45 分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.健康与体育锻炼密切相关。

New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark．The research， published in Science Magazine， found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world． The gray﹣colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland， the world's largest island． After examining one of these sharks， scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400years ago and died out recently．An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate （估计） the ages of 28dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes． It is a new way to learn the age of an animal． Eight of the sharks were probably 200years old or more， andcould even have been 300years old． That would make them older than some whales，which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211years old，according to the Associated Press．This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans． Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties． African elephants average about 70years． The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5meters long． It was thought to have been 392years old when it was caught four years ago． However， because the testing method is so new， it is not exact．The study's lead author is Julius Nielsen， a marine biologist from Denmark． He says the 392number could have an error range of 120years in either direction． That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500and 1740， with 1620being the most likely．'It's an estimate． It's not a determination，' Nielsen said． 'It is the best we can do．' Even at the lowest age， the shark would have been 272years old when it died and still would be the longest﹣living animal with a backbone， Nielsen said．'I don't know why they get as old， but I hope someone will find out，' Nielsen said．（1）According to Science Magazine， the Greenland shark________．A） is the longest living animal on earthB） rarely lives in the cold water of the ArcticC） is an animal with a backboneD） still lives in the icy water now（2）A new way to learn the age of a female animal is________．A） to estimate it by a biologistB） to examine its skinC） to study the lenses of its eyesD） to discover the place of its birth（3）The discovery means if people live into eighties， the shark might live into________ years old．A） almost 200B） less than 211C） over 320D） at least 450（4）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？________A） The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long．B） It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392years old．C） Julius Nielsen says the 392number could have an error range of 120years．D） Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born．（5）The author will probably write about________ after the last paragraph．A） the discovery of why sharks get so oldB） the living habits of the sharksC） the reasons why sharks disappearedD） the bad side of the sharks（6）The best title of the passage may probably be "________"．A） A new way to study the sharksB） Caring for the sharksC） Best Animal with a backbone on EarthD） Longest living animal with a backbone on Earth39.

The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery． The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship．The ship sailed from New York on 7tℎ November， 1872， for the port of Genoa in Italy． It was carrying a cargo （货物） of 1，700barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35，000dollars． There were 10people on board the ship： the captain， Briggs， his wife，Sarah， their two﹣year﹣old daughter， and seven crewmen． Briggs had a good fame as a captain． He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol．The mystery begins on 15tℎ November， 1872． The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship， Captain Morehouse． Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control． He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor． There were no distress （求救） signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact， so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste． There was nobody on board!There didn't seem to be much wrong with the ship： it was not in danger of sinking， so there was no need for panic． However， the ship's register and other paperwork were missing； the navigation instruments were missing； and everything on the ship，including the captain's bed， was wet through． Another important fact is that there wereno boats on board． And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa，nine barrels of alcohol were missing． Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts？Morehouse guessed that the crew must， for some reason， have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked． But why did they think it was sinking？ It is possible that， as the cargo was alcohol， there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic． The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking． Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas．It seems that（5）________now， but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions， and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!（1）Which place did the Mary Celeste leave for？________（2）What do you know about Briggs besides having a family of three people？________ （3）How did Morehouse feel when he saw the Mary Celeste was out of control？________ （4）Why did Morehouse guess that the crew panicked at that time？________（5）What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph？________（6）Where do you think all the people on the ship might go？ Show your possible reason （s）!________七、Writing （作文）（共20分）42.

With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide e 81 how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,” he said.Zhang’s experience is c82 nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, fromtheir children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.Parents u 83 to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The c 84 of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and otherforms of media give children ways to get information b 85 from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generationu 86 acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach theirparents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him c87 to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology.

A 82 graduation, students come to realize whatthey have learned at school has not really prepared them for the next step.Increasingly, teachers are getting to know the idea of “learning from our failures.” If you’v failed at anything, you’ve certainly never t83 anything new.

He mademistakes but he cheered himself up and moved forward. His success didn’t come from grades, itcame from his character: courage, effort and confidence.We should develop social skills through the whole school as an important p 87 of learning.This is why there is a focus on performance, sport and other activities.
