One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are " Procedures or 41 that learners can use to facilitate a learning task. " And 42 students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming 43 , confident learners. Finally, students become more 44 as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English.Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who 45 on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems 46 , and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students 47 to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the 48 judge of their progress.Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental 49 with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to 50 new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.III.Reading ComprehensionSection AMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the 51 one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not 52 to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total 53 upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing'. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or 54 of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. 55 , since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary 56 of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to 57 up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be 58 only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we 59 this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings orsocial relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening 60 . Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain 61 results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply 62 to listen to what we don't want to hear.It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic( 有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, 63 improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the 64 of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's 65 that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.Section B51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The year was 1993 and the Detroit Tigers were playing the New York Yankees. When my son began dropping gentle hints that a game would take place at Tiger Stadium on Mother's Day that year, I already knew who they were playing with! "Hey Mom, would you like to go to see the Tigers play the Yankees?" My senior high son asked with a playful look. I just smiled.There had been a lot of talk about a new stadium in place of the one that stood proudly on the corner of Michigan and Trumbull in Detroit. As I sat in the seating section, I wondered how the old place could actually become a thing of the past. It was so alive; the stadium was full of watchers and the excitement with two good ball teams, the smell of popcorn.The announcer recognized all Mother's and each one received a gift which I still have today.Don Mattingly was a favorite ball player of our sons and he was one of the many players that made up the team that beat the Tiger's that May Day. While we drank our favorite soft drink, we watched the guy with the number 23 shirt hit a home run during the game. The fans went wild. The Yankees won 11 to 2.Part of the excitement comes from a visit to the old ballpark . While the organ music played, everyone stood and sang Take Me Out To the Ballgame. It was part of the fun about a trip to the ballpark; and it didn't matter who you were cheering for.The last game played at Tiger Stadium was in 1999 against the Kansas City Royals. We had moved to SouthCarolina in 1997, but my son was working in Detroit. The old stadium is still standing; I guess they just didn't have the heart to tear down a piece of history. What I didn't realize at the time was that it would be the last game I would attend with our now grown son together.66.What caan we infer from the first paragraph?A.The writer was a fan of the ball game.B.The ball game took place on the May Day.C.Her son was one of the ball players.D.The Detroit Tigers would lose the game.67.What did the writer mainly want to tell us in the second paragraph?A.People were all expecting a new stadium.B.The old stadium was really too crowded.C.More people were interested in the game.D.The writer liked the old stadium very much.68. _____________________________________ According to the passage, Don MattinglyA.was the best player in the TigersB. belonged to the YankeesC was the writer's favorite ball player D. wore the number 32 shirt in the game69.What happened to the Tiger Stadium after the game in 1999?A.It was torn down.B. It was used for other purposes.C.It was still used for the game. D, The music was often played there.（B）"Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ... and the contract （合同） lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch -- with a phone I can actually use."Affordable plans that I can understand -- and no contract to sign （签订）!

It has a nice ring to it. Doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical （修辞的） companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of bio-fuel available, and more may become available, but most bio-fuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices, At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.74.According to the passage, energy independence will make America___________ .A. ensure international securityB. realize everyone's dreamC.bring oil prices downD. sound very attractive75.What does the author think of bio-fuels?A. keep America's economy running healthily.B.do not provide a sustainable energy supply.C.prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.D.can be produced in large quantity in a short time76.Why does American depend on oil imports a lot?A. It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B.It wants to keep its own environment undamagedC.Its own oil reserves are quickly being used up.D.Its own oil production falls short of demand.77.The author's purpose in writing the passage is _________ .A. To arouse Americans' awareness of the energy crisis.B. To explain the increase of international oil trade.C.To justify America's dependence on oil imports.D.To stress the importance of energy conservation.Section C （8 分） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son's soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to see to some personal matters, have broader physical health benefits besides making you feel a bit less tired?According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000 people, researchers from the U.K.'s Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules, for instance, when employees can shift their starting times, were associated with improvements in a person's overall health. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for negative effects of more flexible work schedules.This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options, which are increasingly popular throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. For example, last April, the British government implemented a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger. In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to growth in workplace flexibility —as companies unable to reward employees with bonuses or raises may turn to other forms of compensation, Reuters reported early last year.Original analysis too, of course, indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed relationship between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly grasp the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide range of workers — from high-ranking executives to hourly employees — is critical, which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.What did the new research published in the Cochrane Library Database of Systematic Reviews find?79.According to the passage, __________________________________________________ is the possiblereason for less workplace flexibility in the United States.80.According to the policy carried out by the British Government, what kind of parents can request flexiblework arrangements?81.Additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide range of workers helps to第Ⅱ卷（47分）Ⅰ.

上海市各区2015届高三英语一模试卷分类汇编：写作专题Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.目前，在网上购物的人越来越多，有人说在网上购物比在实体店购物优势多，有人说还是在实体店购物好。
请写一篇文章阐明你的观点。
你的文章必须包括：●简要介绍两种购物方式的不同之处●你喜欢那种购物方式？为什么？参考：Shopping online vs. shopping in physical storesAs scientific technologies developed faster and faster, our common lives have changed more and more, one of which is our shopping way.We have been shopping in physical stores, where a salesman may introduce many products to you and give you some advice about which one is the best choice, and you can try those clothes or shoes in person, even change another one if you find it not suitable to yourself.However, a new shopping method sprang up --- shopping online. There appear quantities of various stores on the Internet. You just need to click your mouse, and then you can see different kinds of commodities in them, with colorful pictures and detailed descriptions. If you are not clear about something, you can ask the customer service staff for help, who usually very kind and glad to answer your any question. Moreover, you can compare the same kind of products in different stores at the same time, which is able to save your time and avoid embarrassment.But every coin has two sides. Shopping online is not exceptional, so there are some disadvantages. First, you can never be sure whether the product is exactly what you see in the picture or read in the descriptions. What you receive may be much different from what is in your mind, for instance, strange color, wrong size or bad quality. Secondly, the products may be lost in the express delivery.From my perspective, I prefer shopping online, because I am too busy to have time go shopping in physical stores and goods online are usually cheaper. But I always choose the shops which have good reputation.【答案解析】文中包含题干的两个问题即可。

Though I’ve received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one I’ve saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me.I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teen age daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbecues. Those had always been my husband’s jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldn’t get the lawnmower started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills.On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something.(I prayed it wasn’t another repair job.)The “something “turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughter’s bright faces.“Go ahead! Open them! “They urged. As I unwrapped the packages , I discovered a small barbecue grill and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it."But why?" I asked."Happy Father's Day!" they shouted together."Moms don't get presents on Father's Day". I protested."You forgot to open the card". Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Father's Day. "Because", the girls said, "you've been a father and mother to us. Why shouldn't you be remembered on Father's Day?"As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a "professional" dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the maintenance tasks of basic care and love.The girls are grown now, and they still send me Father's Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me beinga great parent didn't require any special tools at all—just a willing worker.66、By "it spoke volumes to me", (Para. 1) the mother in the story means thecard______.A．conveyed significant meanings to herB．aroused great sorrow in herC．brought her pleasant feelingsD．made her feel important67、After her husband’s death, the mother found it was the hardest to______.A. handle the emotional shockB. face the terrible lonelinessC.

To lose weight you simply had to practise the reverse of home economics--spend more than you earned. Unfortunately for many, but perhaps not surprisingly, it turns out that people are rather more complicated than bank accounts.To stay a healthy weight, you need a hormone(荷尔蒙)called leptin to work properly. It sends “I’m full” hmessages from the fat cells up to the brain, where they go, among other places, to the same pleasure centers that respond to drugs like cocaine. Fat people produce plenty of leptin, but the brain doesn.t seem to respond to it properly. Last year researchers at the Oregon Research Institute scanned the brains of overweight pe(ople and found their reward circuit(线路) were underactive. They were eating more to try to get the enjoyment they were missing.There’s a lot of evidence for the fact that most, if not all, of us have a set point around which our weight can vary by about seven to nine kilos, but anything beyond that is a real struggle. Making changes is hard, particularly if your body is working against you. So why not reject the traditional approaches and try some new method, based on the latest research, that work with your body rather than against it. Several years ago researchers at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore reported that when they gave rats very little food one day and allowed them to eat plenty the next, they showed virtually all the benefits of a permanent calorierestriction diet. The same goes for humans, according to Dr. James Johnson.How does it work? Besides forcing the body to burn fat, it may also cause hormonal changes. Most people say that the diet takes a bit of getting used to, but is not as grinding as trying to cut back on an everyday basis.Older dieters may remember something called brown fat. Unlike the undesirable white stuff; this was a dieter’s dream. Instead of storing excess energy as fat, brown-fat tissue burned it off to keep you warm-at least in mice. Brown fat fell out of favor because researchers couldn’t find much in humans but now, thanks to the New England journal of Medicine, it’s back in fashion. The idea is to expose people to cold temperatures. They then make more brown fat and their weight drops.74.According to the findings of the Oregon Research Institute,____________A.

Clarifying the common myth about weight lossSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the oppositeeffect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better af ter the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)78.T he self- help industry is based on _________________________________________.79.The finding of the Canadian researchers is that______________________________.80.From the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic, we knowthat__________________.81.From the last paragraph, we know that ___________________ may prove to be agood form of psychotherapy.第II卷(共47分)I.
