Reading comprehension 30%Section A Directions: Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few p eople took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the _ 50 _ it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can _51 _ people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films __ 52__ doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to 53 exercise. It decreases blood pressure, the heart beat and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter 54 the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors 55 pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the 56 time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish( 减少) both stress and pain.As a 57 of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by 58__ them to laugh.

Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, whiteminers resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.60. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A. Because they could find good jobs there.B. Because they had found gold there.C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D. Because they heard there was gold there.61. The underlined word “resented”(L.2,Para.3 ) mean “________”.A. likedB. helpedC. hatedD. served62. Which should be the title of the passage?A. Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB. Dream to strike it richC. The difference between men and womenD. Gold miners in America(B)My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book Night of the U-boats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.63. We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.A. to meet a friendB. to see the father offC. to take a family photoD. to enjoy the sailing of the ship64. What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?A. he was still alive.B. His knee was broken.C. His ship had been sunk.D. He had arrived in Glasgow.65. What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?A. He lost his armB. He repaired the engines.C. He managed to take a lifeboat.D. He was the last to leave the ship.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. A group of forgotten heroesB. A book describing a terrifying battle.C. A ship engineer’s wartime experience.D. A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue.(C)Over a period of time, many habitats (栖息地)change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting（产生）of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance (增加)the soil. Pine seedlings (苗)soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory (山核桃)seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.67.The best title of this passage is _____.A. The Importance of Weeds and GrassesB. The Success of Oak and HickoryC. How Environmental Habitats ChangeD. Animal and Plant Habitats68.It can be inferred (推理) from the passage that ______.A. oak and hickory trees grow taller than pinesB. weeds and grasses prefer cold climateC. pines and grasses can exist togetherD. birds encourage the growth of shrubs69. Which of the following is a stage of succession as described in the passage?A. A forest cut down to build an airport.B. A flood washing away a crop of wheatC. Wild flowers growing in an unused parking lotD. Animals being tamed (驯服)by childrenV.

Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____54____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____55____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____56____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The ____57____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____58____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone ____59____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____60____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.Ⅲ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.A new tech startup is aiming to ____61____ this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called , allows customers across the whole county, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ____62____, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”There is one thing, ____63____, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ____64____ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. Accordingto the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ____65____. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ____66____ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.“____67____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ____68____ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was ____69____.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers (鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DiGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.By I a.m. each night, the company ____70____ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms (算法) ____71____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,” so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ____72____, it asks, “Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the ____73____ process.“I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First,____74____. Fish should have “nice” slime (粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “When fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.Is he never ____75____ being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”61. A. maintain B. remedy C. substitute D. recognize62.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hittingeach other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a certain, I just say, “No thanks, I’m amusic,””says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”76.Which of the following is true of amusics?A.Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B.They love places where they are likely to hear music.C.They can easily tell who different songs apart.D.Their situation is well understood by musicians.77.According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who________.A.dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. Has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system78.In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that________.A.her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB.she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC.her problem could be easily explainedD.she were able to meet other amusics79.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A.Amusics’ strange behaviorsB. some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structureD. Identification and treatment of amusics.(B)How to place an Order of Custom Jeans▶Select the Fabric & Styles→Fabrics---Select the Fabric from our large collection of Denim Fabric Samples→Special Wash---Select your favorite special wash treatment to make your jeans look stylish→Thread Color---Select the thread color you want.

But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal.In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive--an alarming trend that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany, whose team tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are.” he says. It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the drop calls for urgent attention. Oxygen levels in some tropical regions have dropped by an astonishing 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped less significantly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.A warming ocean losses oxygen for two reasons. First, the warmer a liquid becomes, the less gas it can hold. That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at depth.Ocean animals, large and small, however, respond to even slight changes in oxygen by seeking refuge in higher oxygen zones or by adjusting behavior, Oschlies and others in his field have found. These adjustments can expose animalsto new predators or force them into food-scarce regions. Climate change already poses serious problems for marine life, such as ocean acidification, but deoxygenation is the most pressing issue facing sea animals today，Oschlies says. "they all have to breathe.”Aside from food web Problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp(虾) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are.

In 1964,four in ten teens in the Us smoked; today fewer than two in ten do.___________87_______________.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General s Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseaseswas major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation’s attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool.Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces, Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws___88____. If you can stop them from smoking, you’ve won the war. Few people start smoking after turning eighteen. _____89_______.The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of$2. 42 on every pack -three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low(60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's, Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor._____90__________. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3, 000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not wonIV.

Yet we have an annual vaccine, and everyone _______93____(qualify) should get it without question. The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much ____94___(effective) flu vaccine.In the U. S alone, seasonal flu can cause up to 36 million infections, three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and 56,000 deaths. We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves, our loved ____95____ and our communitiesWhy not? We haven't been hit by _____96____ truly destructive widespread disease in a long time. So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quickly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.The risk of continued foot dragging is huge. In a severe widespread disease, the U.S. health care system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.The cost of preventing epidemics is roughly a tenth of ____97___ it costs to cope with them when they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment ___98____ the development of a universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction. 99. headlines about the flu are gone, hospitals are emptied of flu patients, and school and workplace absence rates decline, we go back to business as usual.Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu. They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Body language refers to various forms of non-verbal communication, which in a person may reveal（透露）clues as to some unspoken intention or feeling through their physical behaviors. These ___21___ can include gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Body language can also vary（不同）depending on the culture. There are a set of commonly ___22___ gestures but many are influenced by our social settings. Although this article ___23___ on interpretations（解释）of human body language, also animals use body language as a communication mechanism（机制）. Body language is typically subconscious（潜意识的）behavior, and is therefore ___24___ to be different from sign language, which is a___25___ conscious（有意识的）and intentional（故意的）act of communication.Body language may provide ___26___ as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, ___27___, boredom, a relaxed state, pleasure and amusement. However, the value of body language in recognizing cheat has been called into question.Body language is very important to communication and relationships.

Body language signals happen on both a conscious and subconscious level.Reading ComprehensionSection AAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. ___31___, we are given to believe, is a right. ___32___ for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury（奢侈）, something wonderful but ___33___ to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion（错觉）, a false idea created by ___34___ and advertisers hoping to sell their products.The ___35___ choice gives birth to anxiety（焦虑）in people’s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee p otis not exactly ___36___. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of ___37___ in many people, ending in the shopper ___38___ up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed.

A. work B. joy C. selection D. salesSection BDirections：For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.ADo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're “hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues ( 自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.46. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening47. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.48. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all dayBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people react in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status (地位) is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.49. The passage is mainly about _____.A. communication typesB. the workplace atmosphereC. customs and social mannersD. living conditions and standards50. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A. They put efficiency in the fist place.B. They dislike face-to-face communication.C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.51. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A. When greeting seniors.B. When meeting the host alone.C. When attending a presentation.D. When dining with business partners.52. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A. In Brazil.B. In Singapore.C. In the United Arab Emirate.D. In Switzerland.CHAPPY to help or too selfish to share – some scientists wonder whether generosity（慷慨大方）lies in our upbringing or in our genes（基因）.In a social science experiment carried out in an Israeli children’s playroom, 136 children aged 3 and 4 years old were given six sets of colorful stickers. They were told：“You can keep all of the stick ers, or you can give some to another child you don’t know. He doesn’t have any stickers.”Researchers then asked the children to step into the playroom one at a time and watched how they behaved.About two thirds of the children chose to give one or more sets of stickers to an unknown child. The others refused to share. Researchers found that many of this second group of children had something in common: a variation（变异）in a gene known as A VPR1A. This gene is supposed to control a chemical in the brain responsible for social behavior. The genetic variant（变体）of this gene can make people a lot less willing to share.This study was published last month in the online scientific journal PLoS One. It suggested that children can be selfishless and genetics may play a role.But social scientists point out environmental influences from home, school and the wider world may play alarger role in creating good or bad habits. Studies using brain scans have shown that when someone is being generous or is described as generous, his or her brain will give off a kind of chemical. This chemical is linked to positive feelings.“If（parents）tell a kid he is a generous person, he is more likely to act generously again than if they buy him a toy,”said Nancy Eisenberg, an Arizona State University psychology professor, to The Wall Street Journal.Social scientists also Say that as people grow up and develop stronger ideas of morality（道德）and fairness, their generosity will increase.Referring to the Israeli study, Emmanuel College psychologist Joyce Benenson says to the Wall Street Journal, that even at 3 or 4 years old,“If you’ve got six packs of something, you know that giving away one isn’t really changing what you have.”Of the 136 children in the Israeli study, the largest group gave aw ay one sticker; the second largest group gave away none. Only twenty-two children gave away more than one sticker.53. According to the article, the experiment ______.A. studied more than 100 children aged between 13 and 14B. gathered all the children in a room to watch their behaviorC. found that one-third of the children were unwilling to shareD. asked the children to share stickers with their friends54. What was newly discovered by the experiment?A. A variation of a gene can influence people’s so cial behavior.B. More than half of the kids were considered to be selfish.C. Generous behavior can make a child feel good.D. Children are less generous than adults expect.55. What can we conclude from the article?A. Genes play a major role in deciding whether people are generous.B. As children grow, economical responsibility can stop them from sharing with others.C. Both genes and social environment influence whether people are generous.D. Parents could try giving toys to kids to encourage them to be generous.56. Who might be more generous according to the article?A. Those with an A VPR1A gene.B. Those growing up in rich families.C. These who receive college education.D. Those growing up in a sharing environment.Section CDirections：Choose from the sentences A~AC to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A. I listened to it 20 times at least.B. That place made me what I am today.C. Community colleges have improved a lot these years.D. Those plays filled my head with expanded dreams.AB. Of course, I enjoyed the pleasure of eating French fries between classes.AC. So I sent my test results to Chabot, a community college in nearby Hayward, California, which accepted everyone and was free.I owe（归功于…）it all to my community collegeIn 1974, I graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland, California, an underachieving student with poor SAT scores. I couldn’t afford tuition（学费）for college anyway. ___57___.For thousands of commuting students like me, Chabot was our Harvard, offering course in physics, certified public accounting, foreign language, journalism and so on. Classmates included veterans（老兵）back from Vietnam, married women returning to school, middle-aged men wanting to improve their employment prospects and paychecks. We could get our general education requirements out of the way at Chabot---credits we could transfer to a university---which made those two years an invaluable head start.Classes I took at Chabot have rippled（起涟漪）through my professional pond. I produced the HBO mini-series John Adams with an outline format I learned from a pipe-smoking historian, James Coovelis, whose lectures were interesting. Mary Lou Fitzgerald’s“Studies in Shakespeare”taught me how the five-act structures of Richard Ⅲ, The Tempest, and Othello focused their themes.In Herb Kennedy’s“Drama in Performance,”I read plays like The Hot L Baltimore and Desire Under the Elms, then saw their productions. I got to see the plays he taught, through student rush tickets at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. ___58___ I got an A. Some hours I stayed in the huge library, where I first read the New York Times, frustrated by its lack of comics.If Chabot’s library still has its collection of vinyl records（黑胶唱片）, you will find my name repeatedly on the takeout slip of Jason Robards’ performance of the monologue（独白）of Eugene O’Neill. ___59___Chabot College is still in Hayward, though Mr. Coovelis, Ms. Fitzgerald, and Mr. Kennedy are no longer there.I drove past the campus a few years ago with one my kids and summed up my two years there this way:“___60___”Complete the following sentences, using the proper forms61. This film is worth __________（see）twice.62. _________（leave）it with me and I’ll see what I can do.63. We ________（hope）to catch the 9:30 train, but found it was gone.64. It is said that the bush fire was brought under control soon. Many houses have been destroyed but no lives __________（lose）so far.65. I ___________（walk）along the street looking for a place to park when the accident occurred.66. He __________（learn）English for eight years by the time he graduates from the university next year.The World Cup is an international football competition contested by the senior men’s national teams of the members of FIFA. The championship ___67___（award）every four years since 1930. The World Cup is the world’s most widely viewed sporting event. The next two World Cups ___68___（hold）Russia in 2018, and Qatar in 2022.When I came here, I heard those words,“cradle（摇篮）of leadership”. Well, when the bough（粗树枝）breaks, the cradle ___69___（fall）, and it has fallen here, it has fallen! Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you are producing here. I can’t guarantee ___70___（say）that Charlie’s silence here today is right or wrong. I’m not a judge or jury（陪审团），but I have to remind you of the fact that he didn’t sell anybody out to buy his future. And that, my friends, is called integrity and courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of.Translation71. 在过去的几年里，上海发生了很大的变化。

Choose the one that fits best accord ing to the passage you have just read.(A)To Chinese immigrants, in the mid- 1800s, California was “ TheLand of the Golden Mountain. ” their homeland they had heard the words, “ There ' s gold in California. ” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had bee n farmers in Chi na. They came here to be mi ners and laborers. They en ded up doing many other jobs, too.Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chin ese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had bee n mined already. Butstill, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “ yellow peril ” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chin ese retur ned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few wome n had come west in the gold rush. The Chin ese saw a good bus in ess opport un ity. They bega n doing the jobs wome n would have done. Many became house serva nts. Many more ope ned laun dries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chin ese probably created these dishes to serve to the white mi ners. Other Chin ese became fisherme n, farmers, and even cigar makers.60. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A. Because they could find good jobs there.B. Because they had found gold there.C. Because they could ope n laun dries and restaura nts there.C. hatedD. servedB. Dream to strike it rich D. Gold miners in AmericaD. Because they heard there was gold there. 61. The underlined word“ resented ” （L.2,Para.3 ） meanA. likedB. helped62. Which should be the title of the passage? A. Early Chinese immigrants in America C. The difference between men and women（B ）My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book Night of the U-boats toldthe story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father 's ship was getting sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo （鱼雷）.I can remember the arrival of the telegram （电扌报）,which in those days always brought bad news. My grandmother opened it. It read,“Safe, Love Ted. ”My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father's knee, his arm in a banHe was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, hehad a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck （甲板） he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump —still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, asinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest （以免） we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.63. We can infer （推断）that the mother and childre n went to Swan sea _____ .A. to meet a friendB. to see the father offC. to take a family photoD. to enjoy the sailing of the ship 64. What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?A. he was still alive. C. His ship had been sunk.65. What can we know about the authorB. His knee was broken. D.

What is the passage mainly about?A. A group of forgotten heroesB. A book describing a terrifying battle.C. A ship engineer ' s wartime expeDrie. nAcme.erchant ' s memories of a sea rescue.（C）Over a period of time, many habitats （栖息地）change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting （产生）of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance （增加）the soil. Pine seedlings （苗）soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory （山核桃）seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.67.The best title of this passage is ____ .A. The Importance of Weeds and GrassesB. The Success of Oak and HickoryC. How Environmental Habitats ChangeD. Animal and Plant Habitats68.It can be inferred （推理） from the passage that _ .A. oak and hickory trees grow taller than pinesB. weeds and grasses prefer cold climateC. pines and grasses can exist togetherD. birds encourage the growth of shrubs69. Which of the following is a stage of succession as described in the passage?A. A forest cut down to build an airport.B. A flood washing away a crop of wheatC. Wild flowers growing in an unused parking lotD. Animals being tamed （驯服）by childrenV.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or giving him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises(出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.46. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when parents ___________________________ .A. repeat it without any changeB. treat it as a jokeC. make some changesD. set it in the present47. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story isA. in a realistic settingB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. told in a different way48. The advantage for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it__________________________ .A. makes them less fearfulB. develops their power of memoryC. makes them believe the storiesD. encourages them not to have strange beliefs49. The author mentions flying on sticks and kissing telephones to suggest that ________________________ .A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is misunderstanding about fairy talesC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadaysBJoan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States, where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in two countries? It's an interesting story.Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio(制片厂）came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting. At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize.In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows.One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a movie called Tai-pan. The interview didn't go well. As she walked away, a man in a car noticed her. The man was Dino DeLaurntiis, the film's producer. He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she starred in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.50. What was true about Joan Chen when she was 14?A. Some people came to her school and chose her as an actress.B. She liked to study at the studio just because she wanted to be famous.C. The most important reason for her going to the studio was that she wouldn't like to stay atschool.D. She found she was fond of acting even before she was 14.51. When did she move to the States?A. In the late 1970s.B. After she graduated from college.C. In the late 1980s.D. In the early 1980s52. The interview with a director ______________________ .A. made her on the way to being famous in the worldB. led to no immediate good resultC. made her play a leading part in Tai-panD. gave her a chance to act in The Last EmperorCStudent participation(参与) in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a "manager" role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.A professor's teaching method is another factor(因素) that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussion while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor's point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "practical" rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to "doing" for themselves.53. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses except in .A. science and mathematicsB. the humanities and social sciencesC. informal lecture coursesD. discussion courses54. From the passage we know that education in the humanities and society _________________________ .A. has not changed muchB. pay attention to students' studying instead of teachers' teachingC. is much more important than that of science and mathematicsD. has become more practical than theoretical55. The reason why some professors ask students to make presentations and lead discussions is that .A. these professors are often not well prepared before classB. these professors want to stress "doing"C. these professors want to test the students' abilitiesD. these professors are not willing to teach theory56. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?A. Student participation is not common in the classroom in many courses like social sciences.B. Some professors want to control the classroom discussion.C. Some professors usually want the students to take part in the teaching of science andmathematics.D. New educational trends have turned up in teaching of natural sciences such as chemistry. Keys: 46. CBAB 50. CDB 53. ADBBSection CDirections; Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows. During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some sadness. He said, "I never drink when I'm working—I would lose my license. "He normally goes home at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and tries to make more runs. He said, "That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make the money, no one is going to give it to you. "London taxi drivers not only " take" but also " give". Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi f Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these fares all go to the London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged Children. At the sea, they are met by the mayor, and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market, the children go home again—by taxi and free of charge.Section DDirections; Read the following passage. Then answer the questions or complete the sentences according to the information given in the passage you have just read.The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending(推荐) phone call "made" by former US President George W. Bush or former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.Of course, neither of them could really do that for you—you would just "borrow" their voices. AT&T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said.Possible customers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital(电子的) files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices（装置). The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous person's voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts(合同) will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. ) And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud (假冒) , would the synthesized(合成的) voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?Even Mr Fruchterman, one of A T&T lab's possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. "Just like you can't trust a photograph any more. " he said, " you won't be able to trust a voice either.

【20套试卷合集】上海市实验学校2019-2020学年英语高一上期中模拟试卷含答案
2019-2020学年高一上英语期中模拟试卷含答案Derrius didn’t do his best in school. The summer after ninth grade, that changed. Derrius had signed up for a biology class. He didn’t go to class the first day. On the sec ond day, he showed up late. His teacher took him outside. She told him he was smart, but that he was wasting his potential (潜力). The talk inspired him and he planned to prove that he could be anything if he worked hard enough.Adults at a summer program helped Derrius find out about scholarships he could earn to pay for college. In his senior year, Derrius filled out lots of applications. He told his friends, “You’re not going to see me for a long time.” Derrius’s hard work paid off. He won more than $1 million in scholarships! He has a lot to be proud of. But he’s most proud of helping others. Derrius gives speeches to teens, telling them how to find scholarships. In high school, Derrius got help buying a computer. He wanted to help others who needed them. Last year, he gave two laptops to high school students. There’s a lot of work in his future.

He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort torealize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I an swered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.”By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?”I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great of adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he co uld check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.5.

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房).The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper(养蜂人) is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.12.
