That’s what we wanted to (44) .”Earlier studies have considered that physical activity (45) cognitive decline. But according to Cheval, recent studies may (46) that past research has “only told half the story… since those recent studies demonstrate that our brain is (47) when it comes to engaging in physical activity.”Researchers at UNIGE tested the two possible (48) by using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a socioeconomic database covering more than 25 countries across the continent.Over the course of 12 years, 105, 206 adults (49) in age from 50 to go were tested every two years on their cognitive abilities and their physical activity.Researchers (50) cognitive abilities with a verbal fluency test that saw participants name as many animals as they could in 60 seconds. They also tested cognitive abilities with a (51)test where they memorized 10 words before reciting them. Physical activity was measured using a scale from 1 to 4. A 1 indicated participants “never” (52) physical activity while a 4 meant they were physically (53) “more than once a week”.The study found that the (54) of what past studies concluded was true ―cognitive abilities mostly influence physical activity, not the other way around.“This study backs up our theory that the brain has to make a real effort to get out of a sitting lifestyle and that by (55) cognitive capabilities, physical activity will follow,” Cheval said.41.

They come in several 41 . The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both 42 by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two 43 on our flight.At the other extreme are the 44 , modern airports in the world’s major cities. LAX, in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as ano ther one lands right beside you. Some, such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport, SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco, like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, have 45 terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals, which can be a little 46 .Heathrow airport in London, England, 47 that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various 48 and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the 49 that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and 50 your gate, some of which are a 25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no 51 for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another, what I want is a quiet place, not an area 52 bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel, for me, is interesting but when I have to fly, getting there is 53 not half the fun. Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n) 54 part of the process. Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be 55 , not really enjoyed.41. A. types B. cities C. areas D. sizes42.

In fact, for decades, there has been a general 41 trend in the number of accidents per departure.Complex systems are more likely to suffer from failures, but commercial aviation (航空) seems to be a(n) 42 . Since the 1960s, U.S. commercial aviation has become significantly more complex, and yet, flying has become safer. What lies behind this remarkable trend is a handful of smart approaches to43 . Here are two of them.1.Teach people to speak up—and to listenA common error during airplane accidents used to be the 44 of first officers to question the captain’s poor decisions. When the captain was flying the airplane, he was hard to challenge, and his mistakes went 45 .All this began to change in the late 1970s with a training program known as Crew Resource Management (CRM). The program revolutionized the 46 not just of the cockpit (机舱) but also of the whole industry. It reframed safety as a 47 issue and put all crew members on more equal footing.It was no longer 48 to question the decisions of a superior; it was required. And CRM taught crew members the language of disagreement.The lesson isn’t simply that people lower down in the 49 should speak up and higher-ups should listen. What CRM has shown is that people can be taught to speak up and to listen. The ability to express and embrace 50 isn’t hardwired in our personality or cultural background; it’s a skill we can learn.2.Learn from small failures and close callsIn 1976, the US Federal Aviation Administration created an industry-wide system to collect safety reports. The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) collects thousands of reports each month. Beyond receiving immunity ( 豁免权) for a mistake, it’s a point of 51 for pilots to submit ASRS reports. They know the reports make air travel safer. The reports are stored in a searchable database that anyone can 52 , and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) highlights safety trends in its monthly newsletter, Callback.Here, too, there is a 53 lesson. Small mistakes and near misses can be a rich source of data about what might 54 in our system. Mistakes shouldn’t be 55 . By openly sharing stories of failures and near failures, we can treat errors as an opportunity to learn.41. A. similar B. steady C. long-term D. downward42.

The poles, the dancing lights, and the winter wonderlands have always attracted extreme travelers --- but this time, there is more than the magical draw of the (41) that is inviting people up towards the corners of the globe: climate change.There’s a strange form of climate anxiety, which is driving more people to places and sights that may (42) to exist in the coming years or decades. Alaska (43) the list of climate- tempted travel destinations. The northern and otherwise-serene Alaskan village of Kaktovik (44)a major boom in tourism last year, as over 2,000 people appeared on its lightly (45)gravel（砂砾）and snowy streets. Until earlier in the decade, local news reports say, the village had fewer than 50 annual visitors. The main (46) now are polar bears, which are being forced into towns by a warming planet and the shrinking Arctic sea ice. All the heating is making it far easier for wildlife (47) and effortless bear selfies. Most visitors are reportedly from China, Europe, or the USA, often arriving on fuel-consuming chartered planes.Around the mid-1990s, researchers began (48) more female bears denning（筑巢）on land instead of in the ice. And seasons of tourism match up with changing bear behavior. It peaks in autumn (which is also far warmer and breezier than the forthcoming winter - and climate change is making things more pleasant in general) when sea ice is far from the shore, and bears can become (49) on the land until the sea freezes again in winter.A report in the Climate Science Special Report: Fourth National Climate Assessment found, “Alaska has warmed more than twice as rapidly as the rest of the United States.” This year, alarming temperatures were reported from Alaska. Every day since April 25 saw above (50) temperatures, the longest streak in a century.While bears have their charm, melting glaciers are a landscape in their own right. With (51)like the recent one that glaciers could be melting at 100 times faster than (52) thought, the number of tourists on ice seems to be going up consistently. Alaska’s tour companies have reported an extraordinary increase --- and the number of polar cruises reportedly went up 33 percent in the last decade. Some glaciers have been marked by the rate of melt for tourists to watch and imagine the (53)from where they stand, much like visitors to the Berlin wall picture the past. As the landscape changes, tour companies have had to (54) their regular routes and hikes too - some glaciers that had (55) by foot only a decade ago can now only be reached by helicopter.41.

Researchers at Duke University and Georgetown University found that study participants who received notifications set to arrive only three times a day reported better moods, higher (42) , and greater feelings of control over their phones. In comparison with participants who received notifications as usual and another group of participants who received no notifications at all, study participants also (43) their phones less often.In total, 237 smartphone owners living in India participated in the study. Participants downloaded an Android app developed by the researchers that regulated the (44) of phone notifications. Respondents also were asked to report in a daily d iary (45) measures including: “concentration, distraction, stress, anxiety, mood, productivity, social connectedness, and work enjoyment -- as well as phone-specific (46) : feeling of being interrupted by notifications, sense of missing out on notifications, sense of control over phone, social pressure to (47) others, phone overuse, and intentional phone checking.”Participants were informed that they could always (48) their notifications by opening individual apps. And the authors give their further explanation, “(49), we only controlled the delivery of notifications (e.g., to the lock screen), rather than preventing messages from being accessed at all.”“Compared to those in the control condition (notifications as usual), participants whose notifications were set three-times-a-day felt more (50) , productive, in a better mood, and in greater control of their phones,” the researchers write, noting that this group also reported lower stress levels. ”In contrast, participants who did not receive notifications at all (51) few of those benefits, but experienced higher levels of anxiety and ‘(52)of missing out’ (FoMO).” They’ve released the app, called Daywise, for personal use through Google Play. But Daywise has been only (53) on the Android platform so far. “Unlike the app Android, iOS (short for Internetwork Operating System) doesn’t allow (54) party developers to control notifications to a degree we’d like for setting to work in a nuanced (细微的) manner,” DayWise creator Ranjan Jagannathan told us. “Till we’re able to do this (55) enough, we will not be able to build a powerful version of Daywise for iOS.

However, the benefits might have been 41 . Some researchers are reassessing this long- established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 42 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 43 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 44 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 45 relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one 46 severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was 47 by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not 48 abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would 49 a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of 50 .Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who 51 the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partners’ 52 ,” she said. “53 in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious 54 in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door by herself? After all, being 55 is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail in the life time.”41.

That’s the number of women architects who have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize since its birth in 1979. Today, that club will (41)two more: Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, founders of the Irish studio Grafton Architects. They are known for producing excellent buildings of brick and concrete that (42) surprising light and air within.“Without grand (43) , they have managed to create monumental buildings,” reads the statement issued by the Pritzker jury, “but even so they are zoned and (44) in such a way as to produce more spaces that create community within.” “To be an architect is an enormous honor,” said Farrell in a stateme nt. “To win this prize is a great (45) of our belief in architecture.”With their victory, they joined the Design Elite as the 47th and 48th Pritzker Architecture Prize. They have also joined the (46) of the more elegant women who have won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, including the late Iraqi British architect Zaha Hadid (47) Kazuyo Sejima of the Japanese firm SANAA and Carme Pigem of RCR Arquitectes, a studio from Spain.Farrell and McNamara are, as the judges point out, pioneers in a field that has (48) been and still is a male-dominated profession. For the architects, the Pritzker marks a historic, trans-Atlantic (49) . Last month they were awarded the Royal Gold Medal in architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects. In the history of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, they are the fourth and fifth female architects to receive the respected (50) and the first all-female team to do so.Both awards (51) an important moment for women in architecture, but they are also at the top of their profession for architects. In a field known for its well-known men, they are a (52)low-key combination. Though large (53) , the building they designed offers small corners and courtyards for gardens, and sheltered places to be alone, enjoying the cityscape. Move in close, and you’ll get an exciting sight of flying passageways and leaping staircases.The architects’ ability to (54) quality with more human spaces, as well as their attention to context, was noted by the Pritzker judges in their statement.

The advantage for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) majors (43) steadily after their first jobs, and by age 40, the earnings of people who majored in fields like social science or history have reached the same level.This happens for two reasons. First, many of the latest technical skills that are in high (44)today become out-dated when technology progresses. Older workers must learn these new skills on the fly, (45) younger workers may have learned them in school. Skill undesirability and the increased (46) from younger graduates work together to lower the earnings advantage for STEM degree-holders as they age.Second, although liberal arts majors start low, they (47) catch up to their peers in STEM fields. This is by design. A liberal arts education (48) valuable “soft skills” like problem-solving, critical thinking and adaptability. Such skills are hard to quantify, and they don’t create clear (49) to high-paying first jobs. But they have (50) in a wide variety of careers in the long run.According to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, computer science and engineering majors between the ages of 23 and 25 earned 37% higher than the average starting salary of those majoring in history or social sciences. (51) , the average salary of those majoring in computer science or engineering by age 40 was $111,870, and social science and history majors earned $131,154, an average that is (52) in part, by high-paying jobs in management, business and law.Why did that happen? According to a 2018 survey, the three (53) of college graduates that employers considered most important were written communication, problem-solving and the ability to work in a team. In the liberal arts tradition, these skills are built through the (54) between instructors and students, and through close reading and analysis of a broad range of subjects and texts.I’m not suggesting that students should avoid majoring in STEM fields, but I do think we should be careful of the urge to make college curricula ever more (55) and career-focused. A four-year college degree should prepare students for the next 40 years of working life, and for a future that none of us can imagine.41. A. perspectives B. processes C. performances D. prospects42.

Referring to scientific studies showing animals 41 “human characteristics”，they argue animals should be protected with the same rights. So why don’t animals have the same legal status (身份）as humans？The line of reasoning in favor of granting animals equal rights to humans 42 the fact that scientists have found characteristics in animals we normally 43 with humans. A group of scientists showed monkeys demonstrate self-consciousness at the same level as humans. This has usually served as a justification for human rights, so why don’t we grant equal rights to monkeys?The truth is, 44 convincing scientific evidence, the argument for granting at least some animals the same rights as humans can’t be justified philosophically. An adequate argument for animal rights would require further philosophical inquiry and not just descriptive 45 . We can feel pity for animals being treated badly and strive to protect them from such treatment. This, 46 , doesn’t mean animals should enjoy the same legal status as humans.There is a strong reason for 47 that rights only apply to humans. While fundamental rights surely are valuable in their nature, they would be worthless without a system to 48 them. That is why we expect other people to respect our rights.The system that defends our rights is the fact that other people are obliged by 49 in their behaviors towards us. In our daily life, we experience numerous situations in which bad guys could50 from violating ( 侵犯) our rights. Nevertheless, we see, of course, with some exceptions, that individuals cooperate and respect other people’s rights. Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin, and one cannot 51 to have certain rights without having to observe the dutiesIf it is my claim to live freely on my property without being bothered, my n eighbor’s duty prevents him from violating my right to property and life. Suppose, however, he breaks in and damages my property. He will then be held responsible in a court of law, for he has 52 his duty to respect my rights. This is completely reasonable, but we will certainly face 53 if my property was violated by an elephant.If we assume that animals are granted the same legal status as humans, 54 requires that we now drag the elephant into court. Remember, if an animal were to have such rights, it would logically also have social duties. Therefore, it is now 55 to the same legal procedures as humans. This raises practical questions: Who will defend the animal in court? And will the animal be able to comprehend what is going on?41. A. acquiring B. desiring C. displaying D. respecting42.

Indeed, research shows that imaginary friends can help develop children's social skills.Research has shown that the positive effects of having imaginary friends as a child continue into adulthood. Adolescents who remember their imaginary playmates have been found to use more activecoping（应对）styles, such as seeking advice from loved ones rather than bottle things up inside. Even adolescents with behavioral problems who had imaginary friends as children have been found to have better coping skills through the teenage years.Scientists thinkthis could be because these teens have been able to adjust themselves to the social world with imagination rather than choose to be involved in relationships with more difficult classmates. It could also be because the imaginary friends help to reduce these adolescents,loneliness.These teens are also more likely to seek out social connections -they tend to turn to others for advice. Current research by Tori Watson is taking this evidence and looking at how adolescents who have imaginary friends as children deal withbullying（欺凌）at school. It is found that teens who remember their imaginary friends are better at dealing with bullying.While we know a lot about childhood imaginary friends such as Crabby Crab and the positive effects they can have, there is still a lot to learn about imaginary friends.4. What is Crabby crab?A. It is a crab Fisher caught inNorway.B. It is Fisher's imaginary friend.C. It is a toy Fisher like much.D. It is a cause of earache.5. Why do children with imaginary friends have better coping skills?A. Imaginary friends help improve their adjustment.B. Having imaginary friends makes them smarter.C. They have rich imagination.D. They are no longer alone.6. What will a child with imaginary friends probably do if he is bullied?A. Escape from the bully.B. Fight with the bully bravely.C. Keep silent about being bullied.D. Ask a parent or a teacher for help.7. What is the author's attitude towards the effect of imaginary friends?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.CJapan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have thedisease.8. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They have done a great job.B. They are trained in a special way.C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A. Offer readers some advice.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.10. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?A. Smart and brave.B. Active and faithful.C. Strong and patient.D. Careful and peaceful.11. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?A. They should work as a team.B. They need to receive more training.C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.D. They should be used together with traditional tests.DThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.15.

There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26)________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27)________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John,stop that!

And, they say, they (21)_______ (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) _______ (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl.

Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn't great news, (21)_____________ the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood—and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22)____________ (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)____________ they're eating.The research team stresses the fact (24)____________ this is only a brief view of the real problem. "A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish'. Here we didn't look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25)_____________ the actual species was listed — so we've made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species."There are some ways to untie the mess we're creating in the world's oceans, including (26)____________ (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested (27)_____________ as a food source.

2021年上海南汇区第一中学高三英语一模试卷及答案解析
2021年上海南汇区第一中学高三英语一模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AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BImagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, alarming you to any traffic, pedestrians,animals, or other things nearby. Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be soon. In 2014, the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away, it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space, it can make out a smartphone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers . . . at least not openly.According to some reports, this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）. ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public, to prevent enemies from using them. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy. Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money you can buy that imagery. “It means anyone can spy on anyone,” he said.At the same time, live, detailed maps of Earth's surface could be useful in amazing ways. Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellite imagesare already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think? Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earth's surface?4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A. SeeingB. StandingC. WalkingD. Hearing5. Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A. to protect the technology.B. for the sake of safety.C. to protect the environment.D. to threat other countries.6. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. This super-sharp map hasn't been put into market.B. Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.C. Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.D. The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.7. How is this technology used in agriculture?A. It can help improve the production of crops.B. It can help kill pests.C. It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D. It can help increase farm land.CIt’s 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella 's smart phone starts pinging, a signal that it’s time for us to stop working around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together. A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.Thehelp of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.8. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A. In his own home.B. In his office.C. In another person’s home.D. At Stockholm University.9. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A. Watch an exercise video.B. Work silently for 45 minutes.C. Tell each other their daily plans.D. Report what they have achieved.10. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?A. They usually work alone.B. They often give lectures.C. They study collective intelligence.D. They have to work at a kitchen table.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Sharing Comfortable WorkplacesB. A New Way to Make New FriendsC. Benefits of Collective IntelligenceD. Working from Others’ HomesDDogs are often called as “man's best friend”, MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua（吉娃娃）, was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2020.In its tenth year in 2020 the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane, the country's first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries（参赛者）from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube（管子）for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue（救助）center,” said her caretaker.A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heartwarming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie a worthy receiver ofAmerica's top dog honor.12. What can we infer about the American Hero Dog Competition?A. It was first held in 2010B. It was held to honor caretakers of dogs.C. It takes place every ten years.D. It was started by a charitable organization.13. With what quality did MacKenzie win the award?A. Talent and braveryB. Friendliness and care.C. Courage and selflessness.D. Confidence and independence.14. In which aspect can students benefit from MacKenzie's visits?A. Learning from failures.B. Understanding the disabled.C. Valuing physical health.D. Developing practical ability.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are Man's Best Friends.B. Treat Dogs the Way We Want to Be Treated.C. Touching Stories between MacKenzie and PeopleD. 2020 American Hero Dog: A TinyChihuahua.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。

2021年上海各区⾼三英语⼀模卷汇编——阅读B篇（学⽣版）2021 年上海各区⾼三英语⼀模卷汇编——阅读 B 篇Directions: Read the following three passages. 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 onethat fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.One【宝⼭⼀模】(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard tofinish tasks, collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managedto tick off.So here’s how to get stuff done and enjoy yourself at the same time.1. Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’ list.”It’s a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinneringredients and go to a job each day that affords you the life you have2. Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as m emory urges, like “Dentist” and “Report,” add some verbs and result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!” or “Complete report and let out your breath.” Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you.3. Trust there’s timeHave you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? Like whenyou’re late for work: You can’t find your jeans, you hurt your toe on the bed by accidentand you misplace your phone as you head down the elevator.When we op erate from a place of calm, stuff happens faster. We find what we need. We don’t burn the toast.It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and settinga simple intention for the day (not reaching straight for Instagram and email).4. Ask yourself thisHow are you spending your days, your life? Are you having enough fun? Can your got-to-do list be a get- to-do list with some good moods dancing on the page and an air of “I got time!” attached to it? Yes, it probably can. Now, what’s first?60.Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”?A.Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B.Change “Dentist” into “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C.Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines.D.Keep asking yourself questions with the air of “I got time!”61.It can be concluded that the key to getting stuff done and enjoying yourself at the same time is.A. a state of mindB. a get-to-do list.C. a memory urgeD. a place of calm62.What’s the writing purpose of this passage?A.To find out what to do first every day.B.To imagine the good feeling of tasks.C.To explain the importance of lifestyle.D.To discover how to enjoy daily life.Two【黄浦⼀模】(B)Canals have to be built on a level, otherwise the water drains out of them and the canal becomes useless. This was the great problem facing the early canal builders, and they overcame it in different ways. The early engineers like James Brindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside and kept their canals level even though it often meant choosing very roundabout routes.Later engineers, such as Thomas Telford,developed a new technique known as ‘cut andfill’ in which they fixed a level through veryaccurate surveying. This allowed them to fill inthe hollows on a route with the exact amount ofsoil they took from the higher ground. By thismethod, very direct routes could be taken, whichcut down the time of a journey veryconsiderably. A good example of this type ofcanal is Telford’s Liverpool and BirminghamJunction Canal, which he began in 1826 toprovide a direct route from the Midlands to theRiver Mersey.It was seldom possible to build acompletely level canal, of course, whichevermethod was used, and most canals wereprovided with locks in which barges were raisedor lowered to new levels. If you look at thediagram on the right, you can see a barge beingraised in a lock by means of water which wasallowed into the lock basin, or pound, from theupper level of the canal. When a barge had to belowered, water was allowed out of the poundinto the lower level of the canal.60.Brindley’s canals were less efficient, most likely because .A.he was not a good canal engineerB.the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC.his canals were built to keep the water drains outD.they had too many roundabout routes61.According to this passage, why was the ‘cut and fill’ technique designed?A.The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B.It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C.New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D.The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62.Locks are needed in canals to .A.help boats to travel in both directionsB.keep water levels changing all the timeC.allow large ships to travel in canalsD.transfer boats across differing water levelsThree【崇明⼀模】(B)TV VOICE PRO AIR $299 USD Hearing Specialists Develop New Ultra- Lightweight ( 超轻的) TV Listening Earbuds (⽿塞): At just Half an Ounce, they Weigh 90% Less than Traditional TV Headphones!HAVING TROUBLE HEARING THE TV CLEARLY?Get ready to clarify TV dialogue like never before, with our new Ultra-Lightweight Wireless TV Listening Technology.Big and heavy TV headphones are now a thing of the past, thanks to Hearing Specialists who have developed new ultra-lightweight wireless TV earbuds, which enable the wearer to hear the speech and dialogue on any TV show with clarity.

Everest, high in the Himalayans, is the tallest mountain above sea level on Earth. It reaches 8,848 meters into the sky.Between 2006 and 2019, around two thirds of climbers were successful in their attempt to reach the top. In the 15 years before that, only about one-third went all the way to the top.The number of attempts to reach the top of Everest has risen sharply over the years, leading to a 300 percent increase in overcrowding. In 2019, 955 climbers tried to reach the mountaintop. Only 222 people did so in 2000.The study noted that on a single day in May of last year, 396 climbers had gathered at the narrow path just below the top. The area, known as the “death zone,” is so narrow that only a small number of climbers can pass through, one directly behind another.Nine climbers died on Everest in May 2019. It was the deadliest Everest climbing season since 2015 when an earthquake killed at least 18 people on the mountain.A picture of climbers waiting their turn to go up and down through the death zone became famous as it was shared online. Yet researchers say the crowds were not the main reason for the deaths last year.“Surprisingly crowding has no evident effect on success or death” of Everest climbers, the study said.However, overcrowding does make the climb more dangerous.“If crowding slows climbers (as is expected), this increases their exposure to the elements, which should increase risk of an accident or illness,” said Raymond B. Huey, lead writer of the report.An unexpected storm, earthquake, or landslide could be disastrous, he told Reuters by email.Climbers have expressed concern that was giving anyone willing to pay the government $11,000 permission to climb Everest. Nepal plans to change its policy to require climbers to use guides, and meet physical fitness and experience qualifications, said tourism department official Mira Acharya.Nepal temporarily closed its mountains to climbers because of the coronavirus health crisis. Now they are open again. However, Acharya noted that flights into and within Nepal have not restarted.More than 6,000 people have climbed Mount Everest since 1953, when New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to reach the top. At least 311 climbers have died trying.59.Supposing 900 people took part in the climbing Mount Everest between 1990 and 2005, how manyof them reached the top?A. 300.B. 400.C. 500.D. 60060.Why does overcrowding make the climbing more dangerous?A.Because it surprisingly leads to death for those climbers.B.Because it stopped the climbers from reaching the top at the area called “death zone”.C.Because it exposes climbers to increasing risk of an accident or illness.D.Because it gets climbers stranded in “death zone” and unable to get further supplies.61.According to the report, what is the possible reason for overcrowding?A.More people want to experience the climbing to the top of Mount Everest.B.A picture of climbers waiting to reach the top inspires more people to give it a try.C.Nepal government gives climbers permission without restrictions.D.More people want to climb the Mount Everest before Nepal takes restrictions.62.What is the general idea of this passage?A.Climbers are more likely to lose their lives before Reaching Top of Mount Everest.B.More climbers need to be trained before climbing Mount Everest.C.Enough experience in climbing mountains matters so much.D.Climbers are twice as likely to reach top of Mount Everest than in Past.Five【虹⼝⼀模】(B)Thai Gallery Efes CuisineDaisy’s SteakhouseVegan HeavenSky Club60.

Join our eight- week course of training Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction. Below is a brief introduction of our four strategies to build the ability to recover from stress.For many of us, work can be so mentally exhausting that it’s possible to forget that we have an entire body attached to our head. The body-scan meditationis a chance to help you tune in to the tiny pains that we often don’t even notice. Itcan last anywhere from one to 20 minutes, and it’s easy to do while lying in bed.Here’s how to do it: lie down or sit still in a chair with your eyes closed, and begin to sense every part of the body in turn, starting at your toes and traveling up from there. It’s a good w ay for us to release tension we don’t even realize we’re experiencing.Mindfulness isn’t all closed eyes and a statue-still position. Stretching, too, can be meditation.Mindful movement is also a way to pay attention. The point isn’t to twist into acompl ex body position, but to better understand the body’s limits and potential.Cycle through slow, gentle poses, like placing a knee to your chest while lying onyour back, or a simple cat-cow (pictured) on all fours. Before you start, set aside a few minutes to calm down and focus on your breath. And once you’re done, spend a few moments lying flat on your back with your muscles relaxed.Simply breathing while paying attention to the breath is the heart of any mindfulness practice. The goal isn’t to clear the mind but to let thoughts pass likeclouds without getting sucked into what they might mean. Rather than identifyingwith a thought or getting caught up in it, the participant notices the thought and thensays goodbye to it. That way, people can have a little bit more freedom in how torespond to internal stimuli like their thoughts. To cultivate awareness of the breath, find a relaxed seat and notice—without thinking about it or trying to change it—how you breathe in and out. Build up to a 15-to-20-minute practice.60. Gentle Yoga and Breathing Exercise are similar in that both of them .A. involve stretching bodies considerablyB. call for controlling people’sbreath C. empty pressure from mind temporarilyD. help people reduce body movement61. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. People can do their walking meditation at their own pace. B. Doing body scan can let go of the unnoticed tension.C. Before doing gentle yoga, people need to lie down and relax muscles.D. Breathing exercise requires people to breathe in a usual way. 62. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Warming up activity is required before doing these exercises. B. These exercises are better functioned when done indoors.C. The more time you spend on the exercises, the better result you get.D. Your body keeps in a motionless state when doing body scan.Seven 【普陀⼀模】(B)Travel with Your Pet to Whistler, Canada!Pet Friendly Whistler !We want to help you bring your cat or dog on vacation to Whistler!Check out our Store!

She won her first major championship in 1999 and completed the career Grand Slam in 2003. Along with her individual success, Serena has teamed with sister Venus Williams to win a series of doubles titles.Early Life and FamilySerena Williams was born on September 26, 1981, in Saginaw, Michigan. The youngest of Richard’s five daughters, Serena and her sister Venus would grow up to become great tennis champions. Serena’s father — a former sharecropper from Louisiana determined to see his two youngest girls succeed — used what he’d collected from tennis books and videos to instruct Serena and Venus on how to play the game. At the age of three, practicing on a court not far from the family’s new Compton, California, home, Serena endured the hardship of daily two-hour demanding practices from her father.The Williams SistersWith their signature style and play, Venus and Serena changed the look of their sport. Their sheer power and athletic ability overwhelmed opponents, and their sense of style and presence made them standout celebrities on the court. The close-knit sisters lived together for more than a dozen years in a gated Palm Beach Gardens region in Florida, but they went their separate ways after Serena bought a mansion in nearby Jupiter in December 2013. In 1999, Serena beat out her sister Venus in their race to the fa mily’s first Grand Slam win when she captured the U.S. Open title.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.One【宝山一模】SOS message on the sand saves missing sailorsMicronesia is an area of the western Pacific Ocean with more than 600 islands, (21)covers a huge area of ocean north of the large island of New Guinea.Recently, three Micronesian sailors set out to sail 42 km from one Micronesian island to another. Unfortunately, they got (22) (lose), and then they ran out of fuel. After a long time drifting without power in the ocean, they landed on the tiny island of Pikelot, more than 100 km from their destination.Pikelot is just 450 meters long and 280 meters wide. The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water. The little island (23) (cover) in trees and has sandy beaches.Three days after the three sailors set out on their voyage, they did not arrive at their destination, so ships and aircraft in the area began looking for the (24) (miss) men. But it was almost impossible to decide where (25) (look) because there are so many small islands and the ocean is so large. One of the ships was the Australian navy ship HMAS Canberra, which (26) (sail) from Australia to Hawaii and had a helicopter on board.During this time, the three sailors decided to write (27) message on the beach on their tiny island. They wrote a huge SOS in the sand. SOS is an international signal that people use (28) they need help. Luckily, people on an American aircraft saw the SOS message in the sand and contacted the Canberra. A helicopter (29) the ship landed on the beach and gave the men food and water. Soon after, a Micronesian boat arrived and rescued the three sailors. They are very lucky to be alive, and it was the SOS message in the sand (30) saved them.Two【黄浦一模】Consider the Mechanical PencilIf you used to collect small objects, I’m sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21) (go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I’ve long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) (hide) in an empty mooncake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don’t have to buy (25) wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead ( 铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil! There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils “lead pencil” in casual conversation, the term “lead pencil” is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third- grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: “John, stop that! You’re going to get lead poisoning!” I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29)the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30) (use) tomorrow.Three【崇明一模】Geography Makes a Silent ReturnIn many ways geography is the forgotten science. Even the word “geography” tends to make people think of students (21) (label) maps in social studies class. But that hasn’t always been true. Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, people didn’t really know (22) existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23) (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t alwa ys been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hundred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25)(tell) people about our exciting world.Technology has changed the way people think about geography. Travel is now easy. The internet makes information simple (26) (find). We trust our phones to take us (27) we want to go. Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditional geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) (important).While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solves public health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for many different jobs and industries. Today, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”. And the world is noticing (30)number of graduates with degrees in geography is also growing.Maybe it’s time for you to discover the forgotten science again.Four【徐汇一模】When educators think of literacy -- the ability to read and write -- they often place more importance on students’ abilities to read and fully understand a piece of writing.But experts say critical and creative writing skills are equally important. And, they say, they (21) (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman- Aadahl. She heads the National Writing Project, (23) offers help for teachers who want to push students to write more.Elyse said, “I have to say (24) we want an education system just (25) (focus) on making people consumers and not on helping them be producers, this emphasis on reading only -- which does happen in so many places -- is very short-sighted.”She said students’ writing work now usually centers on examining a text, (26)presenting a new idea. Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstrate you’re learning (27) someone has taught you ”Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.She said writing affects a person’s ability to read and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) they start. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective readers, too.Elyse said employers today seek workers “all the time” who can write well. Digital tools increasingly mean that people are “(29)(interact) with the internet through wri ting,” she said.Young people are already writing all the time -- through text messages, emails and on social media.Elyse believes every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet. So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life “subconsciously”.“They’re not writing a story about a difficult father or directly about a bull y in class, (30) creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”Five【虹口一模】The Rise of Robot-ChefsCREATOR is a new hamburger joint in San Francisco. It now claims to deliver a burger worth $18 for $6 -- in other words, (21) (provide) the quality associated with expensive restaurants at a fast- food price. What matters behind this claim is that its chef is a robot.Creator’s burger robot is a trolley-sized unit that has a footprint of two square metres. Customers send it their orders via a tablet. They are able to cook everything from (22) well-done the burger will be to the type of cheese and toppings they want.The process sounds rather simple now. But, in fact, the machine took eight years to perfect after it (23) (create). As far back as 2012, a mere two years into the project, it was described as “95% reliable”, but that is not enough for a busy kitchen. Chopping tomatoes was a particularly tough challenge, but even details like the very tool (24) packs the burger into a bag without squeezing it were tricky for the machine to master. Only now, with a machine to make reliably 120 burgers an hour, (25) Alex Vardakostas, the engineer behind the project, and his co-founders, a mixture of technologists and caterers, feel confident enough to open their first restaurant.Creator is not alone. Other robot chefs have already been working, (26) (prepare) entire meals, or soon will be, in kitchens in other parts of the world. (27) that, this new wave of automation could signal a dramatic shift in the way the fast food industry employs people. That does not necessarily mean (28) (employ) fewer staff. Rather, more of them will be in roles where they can directly help customers. “Creator’s goal is not to be the most automated and (29) (human- centered) restaurant, but actually not,” said Vardakostas.It is too early to say whether this first wave of robot chefs will develop well in such a demanding environment as the kitchen. (30) _ it does, it’s certain to mark a change in our relationship with cookery. Cooking could be something people choose to do simply for the sheer pleasure of it.Six【闵行一模】There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining (21) we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering (22) (consider) a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoying his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and (23) is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that (24) some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider (25) unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but (26) one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who (27) (experience) frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one (28) be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances fo r success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and (29) which you have given your best effort.”Whatever you define success, remember, we are born to live the lives we truly want and deserve, but not just the lives (30) (settle) for us.Seven【普陀一模】The Popular Mobile LibraryAround the world, the mobile library projects are bringing books and even advice to communities with serious and urgent needs.Every week, two modified blue buses (21) (stock) with children’s books carefully run down the streets of Kabul. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, (22) (deliver) a wealth of reading materials directly to the youngsters who have limited access to books. “A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Rim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who (23) (inspire) to start Charm, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand (24) we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”For many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, and in some cities public transport is being regarded as means of getting books to communities that need (25)most. The vehicle was rebuilt not only to spread the joy of reading, but also to improve people’s life.Comic books were left on trains, buses and underground systems in the cities around the UK (26)(early) this month to mark 80 years of Marvel Comics.Carriages on the two subway trains in Beijing were turned into audio book libraries, wherepassengers were able to download books. To give the train a library feel, the walls aredecorated with books, (27) covers look like bookshelves.★People in the Netherlands get to travel on trains for free during the country’s annual book week celebrations. Passengers can present a novel (28) a rail ticket.★In the Greek city of Thessaloniki, the transport ministry installed mini libraries at bus stops(29) (allow) passengers to read as they wait for the bus, or borrow and read ontheir journey to be returned at a later date.★Passengers on New York’s subway (30) download free short stories, poems, essays and so on to their devices.Eight【青浦一模】Eating jellyfish could save endangered fishAccording to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn’t great news, (21) the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood — and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22) (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)they’re eating.The research team stresses the fact (24) this is only a brief view of the real problem. “A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish’. Here we didn’t look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25) the actual species was listed —so we’ve made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species.”There are some ways to untie the mess we’re creating in the world’s oceans, including (26) (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off the theme, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested (27) as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28) the menu. “We need to improve the labelling of seafood (29) the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice,” UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told Science Alert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30) (easy) than you might imagine. In Australia, where the researchers are based, there’s the Sustainable Seafood Guide to provide the best choices for seafood. There’s also Seafood Watch in the US, which is run by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.Nine【长宁一模】For perhaps the first time in the history of modern education, millions of primary and secondary students may begin the new school year from home. Pupils in England should return to schools in September, but Covid-19 cases 21 (rise), so this may not be possible. Scientists also warn that there will be many more cases when pupils return to schools. Some parents may choose not to send their children back 22 their family’s safety.Teachers are worried about children who 23 (fall) behind in their school work. Parents and carers are feeling anxious about the need to balance work and home schooling. But an experiment by an 18th-century French schoolmaster, Jackboot, may help them to worry less about home schooling.Jackboot had to teach in Belgium. His pupils spoke only Flemish, and he spoke only French. He gave his students a novel 24 (write) in his mother tongue and a French dictionary. He encouraged them to teach themselves. It worked.Learning does not only happen when someone older puts information into the learner’s mind. Think about how often children and even adults learn from trial and error, from learning to ride a bike to 25 (use) a new technology. Learning happens when you ask children difficult questions at the dinner table, encourage them to build a tree-house or find things for themselves on Wikipedia.In the 18th century, when only the sons of rich men got a school education, Jackboot wanted to show 26 poor children could learn. Parents could teach them by encouraging and asking questions. It’s the same today. 27 students have the right resources 28 (explore) ideas for themselves, many people can “teach”– including carers and parents during a pandemic (流行病). However, some poorer students will do worse 29 they do not have access to the Internet.Jackboot showed that learning does not only happen in a classroom and that human beings are learning beings: they know hardly anything at birth 30 seek out and develop incredible capacities. That should make us less worried about children during this difficult time and more hopeful about ourselves.Ten【金山一模】Melbourne: So lovely. So... livable.Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) releases a list of 140 cities and ranks them in terms of their “livability”. Melbourne (21) (top) the list for the fifth year running.The rankings rate “relative comfort” for more than 30 factors across five categories: stabi lity, health care, education, infrastructure ( 基础设施), and culture and environment. The final scores (22) (calculate) as a percentage ranging from 1 (“intolerable”) to a perfect score of 100 (“ideal”).Take a look at the top 10 cities, and you will find that half of (23) are in Australia and New Zealand, three in Canada, and two in Europe. They’re all medium-size cities in prosperous countries, (24) relatively low population densities. It's an equation (平衡，制衡局面) that leads to low crime rates and a functional infrastructure.Does that mean non-Melbournians should all pack up and move to the world’s (25)(livable) metropolis? Not necessarily.(26) the top 10 cities in the EIU’s rankings may be pleasant to live in, they’re not high on most people’s lists of top cities to visit. After all, they are not cities (27) (describe) as dynamic ( 充满活力的). Before Melbourne assumed the No. 1 ranking, it was Vancouver (28) came out on top for almost a decade its incredible stability.“I find Melbourne a really boring town, so more livable means really dull,” said a policeman in Australia. “I live in Sydney because it’s interesting, not because it’s comfortable.”Raised is the question whether you want to live in a livable city or a dynamic one. Big cities like Tokyo, London and New York suffer in the rankings because of higher crime rates and overburdened infrastructure, (29) drags down the rating of how “comfortable” they are. Yet they’re hard (30) (beat) —when it comes to recreational offerings, including nightlife, culture and entertainment.Eleven【奉贤一模】Children moving from primary to secondary school are ill-equipped to deal with the booming of social media, as it is playing an increasingly important role in their lives, and is exposing them to significant emotional risks, according to a recent report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner for England.The report shows that many children in year 7 – the first year of secondary school, (21)almost everyone in the class will have a phone and be active on social media – feel under pressure to be constantly connected.They kind of (22) (worry) about their online image, particularly when they start to follow celebrities on Instagram and other platforms. They are also upset about “sharenting”– when parents post pictures of them on social media without (23) (permit) – and show the concern (24) their parents won’t listen if they ask them to take pictures down.The report, based on group interviews with 8- to 12-year-olds, shows that (25) most social media sites have an official age limit of 13, an (26) (estimate) 75% of 10- to 12-year- olds will have a social media account.Some children are almost addicted t o “likes”, the report says. Aaron, an 11-year-old in year 7, told researchers, “If I got 150 likes, I’d be like, that’s pretty cool, it means they like you.” Some children described feeling (27) (confident) than those they follow on social media. Aimee, also 11, said, “(28)(compare) yourself with them, you might feel devalued because you’re not very pretty.”Children’s Commissioner for England Anne Longfield is calling on parents and teachers to do more to prepare children for the emotional impact of social media as they get older. “What a child has learnt at primary school does not guarantee he can protect (29) from the risks that social media will present.”“It means a bigger role for schools in making sure children (30) (prepare) for the emotional demands of social media. And it means social media companies are supposed to assume more responsibilities.” Longfield said.Twelve【嘉定一模】Tasting a Biker’s LifeFor most of my life I knew nothing about motorcycles. I believed that motorcycle riders were tough and leather-wearing loners. They seemed (21) (look) for trouble all the time, using the roar of a motorcycle engine to frighten others off.Then, on a warm May evening outside my house, my cousin cameand showed me his new motorcycle. Never had a real motorcycle (22)(present) in front of me by a close family member. “It’sbeautiful, isn’t it?” he asked. But I didn’t really understand what I waslooking at.It wasn’t until August (23) I was able to actually ride on the motorcycle with him. I prepared (24) oversized leather jacket for myself. (25) (fill) with nervous energy, I held on tightly to my cousin. Soon the bike carried us onto the top of the h ill, (26)we stopped to watch the sun set over the city below. I realized that was the most relaxing moment for me in months.Since then, my prejudices about motorcycle bikers (27) (start) to shift. On the back of a motorcycle, (28) (place) all your trust in someone to get you safely home is a way to remind you of the love they have for you. Later, whenever my cousin was gone on a Saturday ride, I would try on his leathers and look in the mirror, wondering if I was (29) a biker myself.Maybe the most important lesson, though, is that you really can’t judge a man by his appearance, (30)much leather he wears. Motorcycle bikers are not scary, or mean, or unapproachable. They’re adults who remember the freedom of riding their first bicycle, and are continuously seeking to recreate the experience.Thirteen【浦东一模】Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans (21) ___________ (wonder) how many could harbor life.Now, we’re one step closer to (22) ___________ (find) an answer.

2021年上海市市西高级中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案
2021年上海市市西高级中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AEach year, theLas Vegasconsumer electronics show, or CES, presents the latest developments in many areas of technology. The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.A car with legsOne of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during emergencies or natural disasters.Changeable people moverGermany's Mercedes presented an experimental self-driving vehicle that it claims can revolutionize transportation for people and goods. The company says the vehicle, called Vision Urbanetic, will be able lo easily change bodies depending on its desired use. Mercedes says as a ride-sharing vehicle , the futuristic-looking car can seat 12 people.Fully electric HarleyAmerican manufacturer Harley-Davidson showed off its first fully electric motorcycle, called LiveWire. The company says the bike will be able to go 177 kilometers between charges. It can reach 96 kilometers per hour in under3.5 seconds. Although Harley is known for building powerful bikes with huge, loud motors, the LiveWire will be unusually quiet.Personal robotsOne of the new robots, called Temi, is really just a computer tablet on wheels. It is designed to be a personal electronic assistant. It moves around the home and performs commands when spoken to. It can link users to friends through voice or video, connect to video or place orders for food or goods.1. Which do you probably use to search for the injured in an earthquake?A. Elevate.B. Vision Urbanetic.C. LiveWire.D. Temi.2. What is the first fully electric motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson?A. ElevateB. Hyun-daiC. LiveWire .D. Temi .3. Why are the four products designed?A. To ease traffic jam.B. To help us socialize.C. To improve our life.D. To protect the environment.BFor decades, an organization, called Ulum Dalska, based in a small Swedish town called Alvdalen, hasbeen working hard to help save a language called EIfdalian. Elfdalian sounds nothing like the country's national language, Swedish, which press secretary Bjorm Rehnstrom said affected the language about 100 years ago. At that point, Elfdalian declined. Ulla Schitt, also a Ulum Dalska member, experienced the change while growing up in Alvdalen.“My parents spoke Efdalian with each other, and with my grandma and my aunts and uncles and everyone around,”Schit said. “But when they turned to me, they spoke Swedish.” Schitt said her parents spoke Swedish with her because that's what was spoken in schools.But people are getting creative in the fight to change that trend. Musicians are creating new songs with Elfdalian. Several children's books were also translated into EIfdalian, including Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Additionally, Bjorm Rehnstrom helps run a popular Facebook group that offers courses in the Elfdalian language, where he offers lessons to the group's 1,800 global members from America, Australia, South America, Indonesia, Haiti and Cape Verde.The local government supports the teaching and preservation of Elfdalian. Bjom Rehnstrom said they eagerly paid for a sign that reads: “Welcome to Alvdalen” in Elfdalian. But the national government of Sweden is a different story. They currently consider Eidalian a dialect of Swedish, not its own language.Schitt said every time a language dies it is a sad moment. To her, losing Elfdalian would be an especially tragic (悲剧的) loss. “It's a part of our identity. It's part of our culture,” she said. “And if part of your identity and culture dies, a part of yourself dies.” Getting Elfdalian recognized as a language by the Swedish government, she added, is key to making sure that death doesn't come.4. Why was Ulum Dalska founded?A. To teach Swedish.B. To save Elfdalian.C. To improve Alvdalen.D. To help schools.5. Why Schitt's parents spoke Swedish with her?A. They could only speak Swedish fluently.B. Schitt longed to speak Swedish at home.C. Swedish was the language of schools.D. It was required by her school teachers,6. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Many people are trying to help to save Elfdalian.B. Songs in Elfdalian are becoming more popular.C. Le Petit Prince was translated into various languages.D. Courses in Eldalian are provided to the world freely.7. What does Schitt think of preserving Elfdalian?A. Satisfactory.B. Vital.C. Dangerous.D. Meaningless.CToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn andeven reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study ,looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an averageof less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.8. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.A. have had computers in their bedroomsB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have watched a lot of TV9. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.D. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. More time should be spent on computers.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done11. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning HabitsDIn many countries of the world, people can confidently tell youthe meaning of their town or city, but most people who live inManchester,OxfordorBirminghamwould not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living inBritainwere Celts. Even the word “Britain" is Celtic (凯尔特语).Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra". This is why there are so many place names inEnglandwhich end in "-chester" or “-caster"Manchester, for example.The Romans never reachedWalesorScotland, and many placenames there are Celtic. For example,Welsh place names that begin with “Llan" come from the Celtic word for "church".After the Romans leftBritain, it was attacked by the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is nowGermanyandHolland. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham" or “-ton". Some got their names from the leader of the village.SoBirminghamfor example, means "Beormund's village”The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (village on a hill)——a good place to build a village and Moreton (“village by a lake”)where floods could make life hard. Place names that end in “-ford" (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Finally, in 1066EnglandbecameNorman—theNormansgave us the place name "grange", which means farm.And how aboutLondon? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not thefirst inhabitants (居民). People once believed that theUnited Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.12. The origin of British place names is unfamiliar to many local people because ofA. the death of local languagesB. the long lost history of the namesC. their lack of interest in itD. the frequent changes to the names13. According to the article,Stratfordis most likely a town .A. on a hillB. near a castleC. beside a riverD. with a church14. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants inBritain?A. The Celts—The Romans—TheNormans—The Anglo SaxonsB. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansC. The Romans—The Celts—The Anglo Saxons—TheNormansD. The Romans―The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—TheNormans15. What doesLondonmean in Celtic?A. RiverB. LondiniumC. LudD.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.For centuries, people have had a strong sense that it is absolutely beneficial to read fairy tales to children. However, the benefits might have been 41 . Some researchers are reassessing this long-established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 42 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 43 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 44 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 45 relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby.
