In fact,they could provide helpful information.Look at the surface of your phone carefully.Do you see some dirty mars?“That's all you,”says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell.“That’s biological information.”It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from___25___ of your friends and family.They’re like a fingerprint that could identify you.Some day in the future,investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes.Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues.In a2017study,researchers sampled a range of surfaces in22participants’homes,___26___countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice.Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner.The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner.In an___27___(early)study,a different group of researchers found that they could use microbial fingerprints to identify the person who___28___(use)a computer keyboard even after the keyboard sat untouched for two weeks at room temperature.One day,microbial signatures might show___29___people have gone and what they have touched.They could prove___30___an unmarked device is yours.So,sure,your phone is pretty germy.Does that inspire you,or does it just bother you?Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by

I.independence J.invariably K.dominatedThe NileThe ancient Greek writer Herodotus once described Egypt-with some envy-as‘the gift of the Nile’.The Egyptians depend on the river for food,for water and for life.The Ancient Egyptians were able to control and use the Nile,creating the earliest irrigation systems and developing a prosperous___31___.Snaking through the deserts,the Nile would flood almost___32___each year in June.Once the water subsided,a rich deposit of sand was left behind,making an excellent topaoil.Seeds were sown,yielding wheat, barley,beans,lentils and leeks.Drought could spell disaster for the Egyptians,so during the dry seasons,they dug basins and channels to deliver water to their land.They also devised simple channels to transfer water at the peak of the flood.An early system of___33___a Nilometer,was used to determine the size of the ter,during the New Kingdom,a lifting system called a shaduf was used to raise water from the river--___34___to the way in which

B.Protection C.Construction D.Regulation46.A.contributing B.regarding C.responding D.referring47.A.in addition B.for example C.on the contrary D.as a result48.A.prospect B.illustration C.symptom D.security49.A.reported B.presented C.predicted D.explained50.A.respectively B.increasingly C.restrictively D.extensively51.A.By comparison B.In other words C.To our surprise D.What’s

D.threatSection B(A)Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects,“Bridge of Terabithia”is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy.Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel,the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformativefriendship between two unusually gifted children.The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons(Josh Hutcherson)is a sixth grader with four sisters,financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing.An introverted(内向的)kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses,Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie(Anna Sophia Robb),a free spirit whose parents,both writers,are fondly neglectful.An attraction between outsiders,their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures;together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes,a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life,“Bridge to Terabithia”keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday.Gabor Csupo directs this,his first feature,like someone close to the pain of being different,fascinated in tiny,perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads,“Bridge to Terabithia”is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity.As the emotional landscape darkens,those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror.In other words,your children may cry,but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web,“Bridge to Terabithia”is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays.At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum,the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie________.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace“traumatized”(paragraph4)?A.criticizedB.ignoredC.delightedD.shocked58.The two children most likely________.A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB.created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD.won against the bullies at school with strong performances59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C.“Bridge to Terabithia”has a negative impact on public school education.D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.(B)Hot Air BalloonsA hot air balloon is made up of3main parts:The EnvelopeThe actual fabric balloon whichholds the airThe BurnerThe unit which pushes the heat upinto the envelopeThe BasketWhere the passengers and pilotstandThe basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air.This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume.Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains.The actual balloon has to be large as it takes a large amount of heated air to lift it off the ground.The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air.The pilot must keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight to ensure that the balloon continues to the stable.Naturally,the hot air will not escape from the hot at the very bottom of the envelop as firstly, hot air rises and secondly,the floating power keeps it moving up.To move the balloon upwards,the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope.It works in much the same way as a gas grill:the more you open the valve,the bigger the flame to beat the air and the faster the balloon rises.The“Parachute Valve”at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground.It is a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelop which is controlled by a rope which runs down through the middle of the envelope to the basket.If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down,he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve,letting hot air escape,decreasing the inner air temperature.This cooling of air causes the balloon to slow its rise.The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes.If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction,he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.60.The purpose of this article is to__________.A.explain how hot air balloons workB.illustrate why hot air balloons are usefulC.describe hot air balloons’structurerm readers about how hot air balloons are made61.What would happen if the“Parachute Valve”could not be released after it was opened?A.The inside of the balloon would continue to heat up.B.The balloon would climb up more rapidlyC.The self-sealing valve would need to take over the role of the Parachute Valve.D.The balloon would begin to move down more rapidly.62.Which of the following skills or knowledge would be the most useful to a balloon pilot?A.The ability to sew the panels of fabric together to make a balloon.B.An understanding of how propane gas is manufactured.C.A knowledge of the background of passengers who are travelling in the balloon.D.A knowledge of air currents and wind directions in the area where he is piloting the balloon.(C)The surface of Venus has never seemed very hospitable.Temperatures change around470°C(900°F),the result of a runway greenhouse effect,and the pressure of its atmosphere,thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid(硫酸),is some90times that of Earth’s.Lead(铅)would flow like water on Venus,and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASA’S Magellan spacecraft seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape:active st week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface.The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively pot of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venus’s second tallest mountain,Maat Mons,which rises8km(5miles).Most of the planet’s many peaks,including9.5-km-(6-mile-)high Maxwell Montes,look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover.That means they are strong reflectors of radar waves.But Maat Mons is dark;like the Stealth bomber,it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact,say project scientists,is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava(熔岩).Rock that sits on the surface of mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot,chemically reactive atmosphere,creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide(硫化铁).It is this mineral,the scientists believe,that can easily be seen on radar.If Maat Mons doesn’t have any,it has probably been resurfaced,perhaps within the past few years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands:earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters(火山坑).That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth,where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion.But while there is some evidence of wind erosion on Venus,the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow.Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows,including dome like upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks.There are also signs of other geologic activities,including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building.But the evidence can’t indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago.The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved,but Magellan,which is now well into its second complete survey of the planet’s surface,may eventually settle the issue.63.Which of the following has NO possibility to be found on Venus now?A.Carbon dioxideB.Sulfuric acidC.Liquid waterD.Active volcanoes64.The scientists believe that_________shows up easily on radar.A.geological changeB.iron sulfideC.mountain mineralva flow65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.B.The wind erosion on Venus is caused by periodic lava flowsC.Streams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthD.Other geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomenon.66.What can be inferred from the passage?A.NASA’S Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.B.There is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.C.Some evidence of periodic lava flows has been found by NASA astronauts.D.Magellan will conduct a follow-up complete survey of the Venus’surface.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.However,facial recognition seems merely to encode them.B.Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people.C.Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use.D.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.E.Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might change the texture of social interactions.F.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.Nowhere To Hide:What Machines Can Tell From Your FaceThe human face is a remarkable piece of work.67So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile.People spend much of their waking lives,in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom,reading faces,for signs of attraction,hostility,trust and deceit.They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings,intentions or nature.68In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers’attendance;in Britain,by retailers to spot past shoplifters.This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game.In China it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers,permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile.Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.Set against human skills,such applications might seem enhancive.Some breakthroughs,such as flight or the internet,obviously transform human abilities.69Although faces are peculiar to individuals,they are also public,so technology does not,at first sight,intrude on something that is private.And yet the ability to record,store and analyse images of faces cheaply,quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamentalchanges to notions of privacy,fairness and trust.70Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life.If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn,and your boss every hint of annoyance,marriages and working relationships will be more truthful,but less harmonious.The basis of social interactions might change,too,from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone’s face.Relationships might become more reasonable,but also transactional.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Sport TourismTourism is the world’s largest industry and is predicted to grow well into the years to come.Increasingly,the economic importance of tourism has been recognized by governments around the world.At the same time,the tourism industry has become more complicated in its development and marketing new forms of tourism.One of the fastest growing parts of the tourism industry is travel related to sport and physical activity.A recent survey found that while the traditional beach and sight-seeing vacations continue to predominate,22%of those surveyed reported that opportunities to participate in sports were important when selecting a vacation.The term sport tourism has been adopted in recent years to describe sport-related leisure travel.It is generally recognized that three are three broad categories of sport tourism.The first category.Watching sporting events or Sports Event Tourism includes hallmark events such as FIFA World Cup Football Championships,and the Olympic games.Tournament sponsored by the Professional Golf Association or the World Tennis Association are also part of the spectator-centered sector of sport tourism.The second type of sport tourism,celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism involves visiting famous sports-related attractions.Visits of the sports halls of fame fall into this category.Another form of celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism that has emerged in recent years is meeting famous sports personalities.The cruise industry has been experienced in this area.Sports theme cruise such as“the NBA basketball cruise”arrange for passengers to meet personalities from sports while on board.Active participation is the third category of sports tourism.This is composed of individuals who travel to participate in golf,skiing,and tennis in particular,although other sports such as fishing,and scuba diving are popular in the US.第II卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.很多人对他们的潜能一无所知。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and comprehend __51__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __52__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never __53__ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself –words. Taken individually, words have little__54__ until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, __55__, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously read one word at a time, often regressing to __56__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common __57__ habit in reading. Another bad habit which __58__ the speed of reading is vocalization – sounding each word either __59__ or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly __60__ rate than the read er finds comfortable, in order to “__61__” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically __62__. At first comprehension is __63__ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill __64__ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) __65__ period of time.51. A. quickly B. silently C. thoroughly D. vaguely52.

A. indefinite B. lengthy C. limited D. setSection BDirections: 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 one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Jane Austen was born in the English countryside more than 200 years ago. She lived a simple life. She seldom travelled. She never married and she died from illness when she was only 41.However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion.Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 2018, but it was not published until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Jane’s naval brother.Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, falls in love with Captain Wentworth, a person of a lower social position. But she breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret. Eight years later, Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. He finds Anne’s family on the edge of financial ruin. Anne and the captain rediscover their love and get married.Jane Austen once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory(象牙), two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that neither her skill of delicate, ironic(讽刺的) observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her final finished work.Persuasion has produced three film adaptations: a 2018 version starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, a 2018 TV miniseries with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones, and a 2018 miniseries with Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall.People who are interested in Jane Austen can still visit many of the places she visited and lived. These places include the village of Steventon, although her family house is now gone. Many of the places Jane visited in Bath are still there. You can visit Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, where she did her best writing, and Winchester, where she died.66. What is the theme of Persuasion?A. Never regret what you’ve chosen.B. True love lasts forever.C. Be matched for marriage.D. Love waits for no man.67. Which of the following CANNOT describe Jane’s writing style?A. Her application of symbolism.B. Her delicate observations.C. Her focus on manners and morals.D. Her use of irony.68. Which of the following about Jane Austen is TRUE?A. Her family house is now in the village of Steventon.B. Many of the places she visited in Bath are still available.C. The latest film adaptation of Persuasion was produced in 2018.D. Her last novel Persuasion is considered her most successful one.69. The article mainly talks about _______.A. Jane Austen’s unique writing styleB. the original residence of Jane AustenC. Jane Austen’s last novel: PersuasionD. the popularity of Jane Austen’s novels70. The phrase “a grant” in the first line most probably means _____.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid71. A student from Japan who has been studying in England for a year and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.A.be unable to get money from any LEAB.get money if taking a first degree courseC.get money from LEA when finishing his courseD.have to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A.None.B. £155.C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customer(C)Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay atten tion to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like.For example, in 2018, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor (谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 2018, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _____.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of others. So the massacre (大屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary peopleacting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death o r damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psycholog ical condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can’t be excused? Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts suggest drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most roads accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years because of __________.第II卷I.

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.17.(8分)One recent night,while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal,my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked."A prejudice had something in common with an ideal." In other words,ideals ﹣general descriptions of people's expectations of themselves and others ﹣can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin,the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi﹣racial corner of America.The different groups were often subjectto narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were "greedy," Mexicans were "poorly educated," and Asians were "good at math." These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way into our belief systems,harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush﹣to﹣judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over﹣generalized description being made against today's Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代)being described as "monkish," or "dad﹣fashion (复古作风)" which has given the "greasy middle ﹣aged men" tag,stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It's about time that we,as a society,walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous "I Have a Dream" speech:"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,but by the content of their character." By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual,you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.(1)According to the passage,how do people tend to judge others?A.By describing people's personalities.B.By truly getting to know those around.C.By observing their noticeable features.D.By following Martin Luther King's speech.(2)According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because.A.people live in places of various racesB.people are born with unreasonable ideasC.prejudices slightly influence people's belief systemD.people usually make judgments without thinking twice(3)Examples of "millennials" and "dad﹣fashion" are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal.A.generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB.generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle﹣aged ChineseD.generalizations make today's Chinese people lack interest or worry(4)The passage is mainly concerned with.A.the common prejudiceB.people's expectation of themselvesC.the groundless worriesD.the famous speech of Martin Luther King18.(6分)When you cross deep water driving too fast,you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine,which is more common than you think.There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1.First,drain the fuel tank,fuel lines and the oil.While it's draining,put a fan on the wiring and dry it out.Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2.Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out.Water will come out with the oil.Add oil to the engine and turn it over again,without the plug in.Let it sit for a while,then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a whitemilky substance if there is water mixed with the oil).If it's there,drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3.Now re﹣install the spark plug,add gas,then try to start the engine.You should have a can of ether (乙醚)handy just in case it's stubborn,but don't use too much.If it starts,let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4.After it runs for several minutes,shut it off,drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网).Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil.If you have none,you should be good to go.5.If you cannot start the engine,you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it,or,more likely,you'll have to replace it.(1)According to the passage,a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can.A.drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB.re﹣install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC.make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD.see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil(2)The underlined word "stubborn" in paragraph 4 may probably means.A.reluctant to changeB.hard to switch onC.insufficient to burnD.unable to take in(3)This passage may be most helpful to.A.a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB.a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC.a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD.a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance19.(8分)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory.Without growth and innovation,businesses eventually fade away.Those with staying power,however,have mastered an often﹣overlooked factorthat allows them to focus on the future clearly:empathy (共情).While that may surprise many,I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others ﹣empathy in its purest form ﹣is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace ﹣competitive,the reality is that for business leaders to experience success,they need to not just see or hear the activity around them,but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地)pursuing their goals without much thought for other people.This attitude works for some,but at some point ﹣often sooner rather than later ﹣everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections.These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses.Successful people do not operate alone;each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals.True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据)that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person's connection to the people and marketplace that surround them.A biological principle known as co﹣evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object.Similarly,businesses and their leaders participate in co﹣evolution﹣type relationships.Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt,build on the strengths around them,and relate to their environment.When businesses fail,it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations.Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce,we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are.This can be frustrating and uncomfortable,particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution.A critical part of developing empathy,however,is learning to understand,respect and implement another individual's point of view rather than forcing your own.(1)In the author's opinion,if a company wants to achieve success,it must.A.frequently develop in new areasB.always stay pure and powerfulC.concentrate on its future developmentD.value much thought for others(2)It can be inferred from the passage that.A.empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB.supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC.competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD.striving for goals on one's own is the key to success(3)Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co﹣evolution principle?A.The boss is too occupied to realize that his employees' income is below the average.B.The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C.The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D.The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.(4)What can be the best title of this passage?A.Empathy and Business SuccessB.The

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.20.(8分)We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressed Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US.But it is."The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing ﹣and we still have the numbers…by a lot.(1)""Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country," Brice﹣Hyde says,an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).(2)So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress,work﹣life balance,respect,and more.The results are both surprising ﹣and not.If you've been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality,you probably aren't all that shocked to see these things like:61 percent of educators find work "always" or "often" stressful;27 percent of educators said they've been threatened or bullied;86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeV os.Teachers are stressed out,and turnover is high.No wonder we're seeing more stories about the importance of self﹣care,classroom burnout,and mental health days for teachers.Yet,self﹣care doesn't seem to come easily for people,and this is definitely true for teachers.(3)We think it's time to change that,though.So in honor of World Mental Health Day,we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health.Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy,or even basic self﹣care,along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely,giving support and love to your fellow educators.(4)And it's pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place ﹣be a good teacher.Summary Writing21.(10分)Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.Online Pharmacy (药店):A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future,which would be of benefit to all of us.Sadly,current Federal Drug Administration (FDA)restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online.Fortunately,online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices.Those calling for the restrictions are wrong.Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren't FDA﹣approved,customers shouldn't be prevented from buying them.Many of the herbal remedy (草药)online pharmacies offer have been used for hundreds of years,especially in Asian countries,and they have strong safety records.Other medicines may come from foreign countries,but they aren't harming the people who use them in their own countries.Take depression pills as an example.It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries,yet it's just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays,just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever,not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results.Thanks to the Internet,customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor.The Internet,after all,is filled with information about all kinds of drugs.Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money.Health care costs in America are rising every year,and pharmaceutical companies are making billions.Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores.Consumers shouldn't be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.22.(3分)这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思.(ignore)23.(3分)梦想还是要有的,但不努力就不可能实现.(unless)24.(4分)正是这次经历才让我明白,我不该太过忙碌而错过生活的恩赐.(It)25.(5分)当前有一个非常令人费解的现象:一些年轻父母们宁愿把很多钱投资在早教上,也不愿意带娃旅行开阔眼界.(would rather)Guided Writing26.(25分)Directions:Write an English composition in 120﹣150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.网络时代,人们常常不辨别真假就在社交媒体上疯狂点赞(give the thumbs﹣up)或转发(forward),这种行为有实际意义吗?请就此现象谈谈你的看法,并结合生活中的实例加以说明.2019年上海市浦东新区高考英语一模试卷参考答案与试题解析Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In Section A,you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

If you say ___21___ toilet seat, you’re wrong. Kitchen sponges top the list. But cell phones are pretty dirty too. They contain around 10 times as many germs as toilet seats. People touch their phones, laptops, and other digital devices all day long, yet rarely clean them.In one incident, a thief paid a terrible price for stealing a germy cell phone. He stole it from a hospital in Uganda during a widespread of the deadly disease Ebola. The phone’s owner reported the theft before ___22___(die)from the disease. Soon, the thief began showing symptoms and finally ___23___(confess)to the crime.___24___ in that unusual case a cell phone carried dangerous bacteria, not all germs are bad. Most cause no harm. In fact, they could provide helpful information. Look at the surface of your phone carefully. Do you see some dirty mars?“That's all you,”says microbial ecologist Jarrad Hampton-Marcell.“That’s biological information.”It turns out that the types of germs that you apply all over your phone or tablet are different from ___25___ of your friends and family. They’re like a fingerprint that could identify you. Some day in the future, investigators may use these microbial fingerprints to solve crimes. Phones and digital devices may be one of the best places to look for buggy clues.In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants’ homes, ___26___ countertops and floors to computer keyboards and mice. Then they tried to match the microbial fingerprints on each object to its owner. The office equipment was easiest to match to its owner.

The Egyptians depend on the river for food, for water and for life. The Ancient Egyptians were able to control and use the Nile, creating the earliest irrigation systems and developing a prosperous ___31___.Snaking through the deserts, the Nile would flood almost ___32___ each year in June. Once the water subsided, a rich deposit of sand was left behind, making an excellent topaoil. Seeds were sown, yielding wheat, barley, beans, lentils and leeks.Drought could spell disaster for the Egyptians, so during the dry seasons, they dug basins and channels to deliver water to their land. They also devised simple channels to transfer water at the peak of the flood.An early system of ___33___ a Nilometer, was used to de determine the size of the floods. Later, during the New Kingdom, a lifting system called a shaduf was used to raise water from the river--___34___ to the way in which a well is used today. The Egyptians took up some of the earliest trading missions. Without a(n) ___35___ system they exchanged goods, bringing back timber, precious stones, pottery, spices and animals. Their efforts in medicine were also ___36___ advanced: surgeons performed operations to remove cysts(囊肿). Mummification gave them great understanding of the human body-yet they also relied heavily on various medicines to prevent disease, and discoveries were often confused with superstition (迷信). And while a great deal of time was dedicated to ___37___ the Egyptians thought the stars were gods.By the 16th century Egypt was under the Ottoman Empire until Britain seized control in 1882. What is now mostly Arabic Egypt only won ___38___ from Britain after World War Ⅱ. The Suez Canal, opened in 1869, __________the country as a center for world transportation.

Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel, the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children. The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.Jess Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a sixth grader with four sisters, financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing. An introverted(内向的) kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses, Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie (Anna Sophia Robb), a free spirit whose parents, both writers, are fondly neglectful. An attraction between outsiders, their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures; together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes, a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life, “Bridge to Terabithia” keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday. Gabor Csupo directs this, his first feature, like someone close to the pain of being different, fascinated in tiny, perfect details.With strong performances from all the leads, “Bridge to Terabithia” is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity. As theemotional landscape darkens, those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror. In other words, your children may cry, but they won’t be traumatized so badly.Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web, “Bridge to Terabithia” is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays. At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum, the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie ________.A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdomB.looked down on their individual realitiesC.formed a good friendship despite their different talentsD.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace “traumatized” (paragraph 4)?A.criticizedB.ignoredC.delightedD.shocked58.The two children most likely ________.A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campusB.created an imaginary world as an escape from realityC.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginationsD.won against the bullies at school with strong performances59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.C.“Bridge to Terabithia” has a negative impact on public school education.D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.(B)Hot Air BalloonsA hot air balloon is madeup of 3 main parts:The EnvelopeThe actual fabric balloonwhich holds the airThe BurnerThe unit which pushes theheat up into the envelopeThe BasketWhere the passengers andpilot standThe basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air. This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume. Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains. The actual balloon has to be large as it takes a large amount of heated air to lift it off theground.The burner uses propane gas to heat up the air in the envelope to move the balloon off the ground and into the air. The pilot must keep firing the burner at regular intervals throughout the flight to ensure that the balloon continues to the stable. Naturally, the hot air will not escape from the hot at the very bottom of the envelop as firstly, hot air rises and secondly, the floating power keeps it moving up.To move the balloon upwards, the pilot opens up the propane value which lets the propane flow to the burner which in turn frees the flame up into the envelope. It works in much the same way as a gas grill: the more you open the valve, the bigger the flame to beat the air and the faster the balloon rises.The “Parachute Valve” at the very top of the balloon is what is used to bring the balloon down towards the ground. It is a circle of fabric cut out of the top of the envelop which is controlled by a rope which runs down through the middle of the envelope to the basket. If the pilot wants to bring the balloon down, he or she simply pulls on the rope which will open the valve, letting hot air escape, decreasing the inner air temperature. This cooling of air causes the balloon to slow its rise.The pilot can operate horizontally by changing the vertical position of the balloon because the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes. If the pilot wants to move in a particular direction, he or she simply arises and falls to the appropriate level and rides with the wind.60.The purpose of this article is to __________.A.explain how hot air balloons workB.illustrate why hot air balloons are usefulC.describe hot air balloons’ structurerm readers about how hot air balloons are made61.What would happen if the “Parachute Valve” could not be released after it was opened?A.The inside of the balloon would continue to heat up.B.The balloon would climb up more rapidlyC.The self-sealing valve would need to take over the role of the Parachute Valve.D.The balloon would begin to move down more rapidly.62.Which of the following skills or knowledge would be the most useful to a balloon pilot?A.The ability to sew the panels of fabric together to make a balloon.B. An understanding of how propane gas is manufactured.C.A knowledge of the background of passengers who are travelling in the balloon.D. A knowledge of air currents and wind directions in the area where he is piloting the balloon.(C)The surface of Venus has never seemed very hospitable. Temperatures change around 470°C(900°F), the result of a runway greenhouse effect, and the pressure of its atmosphere, thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid(硫酸), is some 90 times that of Earth’s. Lead(铅) would flow like water on Venus, and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASA’S Magellan spacecraft seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape: active volcanoes. Last week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface. The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively pot of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venus’s second tallest mountain, Maat Mons, which rises 8km(5 miles) . Most of the planet’s many peaks, including 9.5-km-(6-mile-) high Maxwell Montes, look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover. That means they are strong reflectors of radar waves. But Maat Mons is dark; like the Stealth bomber, it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact, say project scientists, is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava(熔岩). Rock that sits on the surface of mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot , chemically reactive atmosphere, creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide(硫化铁). It is this mineral, the scientists believe, that can easily be seen on radar. If Maat Mons doesn’t have any, it has probably been resurfaced, perhaps within the past few years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands: earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters(火山坑). That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth, where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion. But while there is some evidence of wind erosion on Venus, the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow. Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows, including domelike upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks. There are also signs of other geologic activities, including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building. But the evidence can’t indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago. The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved, but Magellan, which is now well into its second complete survey of the planet’s surface, may eventually settle the issue.63.Which of the following has NO possibility to be found on Venus now?A. Carbon dioxideB.Sulfuric acidC.Liquid waterD.Active volcanoes64.The scientists believe that _________ shows up easily on radar.A.geological changeB.iron sulfideC.mountain mineralD. lava flow65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.B.The wind erosion on Venus is caused by periodic lava flowsC.Streams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthD.Other geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomenon.66.What can be inferred from the passage?A.NASA’S Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.B.There is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.C.Some evidence of periodic lava flows has been found by NASA astronauts.D.Magellan will conduct a follow-up complete survey of the Venus’ surface.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentences given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.However, facial recognition seems merely to encode them.B.Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people.C. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use.D.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.E.Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might changethe texture of social interactions.F.The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial tothe formation of complex societies.Nowhere To Hide:What Machines Can Tell From Your FaceThe human face is a remarkable piece of work. 67 So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings, intentions or nature.68 In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers’ attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.Set against human skills, such applications might seem enhancive. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the internet, obviously transform human abilities. 69 Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of facescheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.70 Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life. If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn, and your boss every hint of annoyance, marriages and working relationships will be more truthful, but less harmonious. The basis of social interactions might change, too, from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone’s face. Relationships might become more reasonable, but also transactional.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Sport TourismTourism is the world’s largest industry and is predicted to grow well into the years to come. Increasingly, the economic importance of tourism has been recognized by governments around the world. At the same time, the tourism industry has become more complicated in its development and marketing new forms of tourism. One of the fastest growing parts of the tourism industry is travel related to sport and physical activity. A recent survey found that while the traditional beach and sight-seeing vacations continue to predominate, 22% of those surveyed reported that opportunities to participate in sports were important when selecting a vacation.The term sport tourism has been adopted in recent years to describe sport-related leisure travel. It is generally recognized that three are three broad categories of sport tourism. The first category. Watching sporting events or Sports Event Tourism includes hallmark events such as FIFA World Cup Football Championships, and the Olympic games. Tournament sponsored by the Professional Golf Association or the World Tennis Association are also part of the spectator-centered sector of sport tourism.The second type of sport tourism, celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism involves visiting famous sports-related attractions. Visits of the sports halls of fame fall into this category. Another form of celebrity and nostalgia sport tourism that has emerged in recent years is meeting famous sports personalities. The cruise industry has been experienced in this area. Sports theme cruise such as “the NBA basketball cruise” arrange for passengers to meet personalities from sports while on board.Active participation is the third category of sports tourism. This is composed of individuals who travel to participate in golf, skiing, and tennis in particular, although other sports such as fishing, and scuba diving are popular in the US.第II卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.很多人对他们的潜能一无所知。

This part was a bit confusing because the speakers had similar voices, but if you listened carefully to the context, you could match them correctly.The last section was the most challenging one.
