I’m happy to say that both my parents are still kicking. I’m on good21 with my brothers and sisters most of the time. I am blessed with good friends and other relations, and tend to get on well with my co-workers.I am fortunate in so many ways, but feel like I consistently disappoint everyone I know.I cannot, for the life of me, give a genuine 22 . It simply doesn’t come naturally. When I try, and I do, in order to maintain all the relationships, it feels forced, more a matter of23 than a gift that might put wind in the sails of someone I truly care for. I feel strongly that giving should spring from joy, or at least from a 24 desire to see the recipient enlivened(开心的) by it. When I have nothing to offer in response to a job well done, everyone loses. I feel like I’ve twisted the emotional and social development of my children, alienated (疏远) any number of perfectly wonderful lovers, and generally kept the world at arm’s length.After years of psychotherapy and the obsessive ( 强迫症) self-examination common to my generation, I believe I know where this meanness of spirit comes from. Six kids in total, at a very tender age, there were five younger, cuter kids standing between me and the object of our25 . Mama was driven to 26 , to put it mildly, by the demands placed on her, but it was the 1950s and she set a selfless and hardy example. I had complete 27 for her difficult situation, even at the time. The fact remains, however, that, as a young child, I needed more than I got. I 28 for my mother’s attention. I needed to know that she 29 me as more than her helper, her strong little man. I clearly recall, at the ripe old age of 7, coming to the conclusion that I would never get it. "That’s OK," I reckoned, "Ican get by without it". "it"being her love.You can imagine the sibling rivalry in a big family. Eventually I took haven in the writtenword to get away from it. But even before I learned to read, I had realized that giving any sign of approval or encouragement to my brothers and sisters could only 30 to increase the gulf between me and my mom. Does that make sense? I can rationalize otherwise, of course, and now we’re all "one big happy family", but the damage is done. l want to be gracious and giving, but when I even think to reach into that purse, however, it’s pretty much empty.II.Reading Comprehension (45%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage 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. (15%)Walking while texting could lead to fines up to $50 or 15 days’ imprisonment as state lawmaker warms of the dangers of “distracted walking”. Jared Schumacher is among the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans who 31 use electronic devices to text, listen to music or do other tasks as they walk outdoors. But if a "distracted walking" measure recently proposed by a state assemblywoman eventually becomes law, the Trenton man and others like him could be facing 32 or even jail time. See the most-read stories this hour >> "I admit that I'm usually listening to music, talking on my phone or texting while I'm walking around," the 20-year-old said while 33 to a text as he walked along a street in the state capital last weekend. "I've never hurt myself, but I've seen people walk into poles or trip over a big crack in the sidewalk." Experts say distracted walking is a growing 34 around the globe, as people of all ages become more 35 on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been 36 in recent years. Eleven percent of all fatalities in 2005 involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15% in 2014.The rise in deaths coincides with states 37 bills that target pedestrians and/or bicyclists. For instance, a bill pending in Hawaii would fine someone $250 if he or she crossed the street while 38 an electronic device. In recent years, similar bills have failed in states including Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York.“Thus far, no states have enacted a law 39 targeting distracted bicyclists or pedestrians,” said Douglas Shinkle, transportation program director for the National Conference of State Legislatures. But he added that “a few states 40 to introduce legislation every year”.The measure recently introduced by New Jersey Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt would41 walking while texting and bar pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands- 42 .Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15 days imprisonment or both, which is the same penalty as jaywalking. Half of the fine would be allocated to safety education about the 43 of walking and texting, said Lampitt, a Democrat.Some see the proposal as an 44 government overreach, while others say they understand Lampitt’s reasoning. But most agree that people need to be made 45 of the issue.31. A. Naughtily B. fashionably C. routinely D. rarely32. A. opposition B. cruelty C. fines D. struggle33.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (22%)(A) (8’)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. A school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis: college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation(谴责) of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy tothose of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better.But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.46.According to the author, .A.people used to question the value of college education.B.people used to have full confidence in higher education.C.all high school graduates went to college.D.very few high school graduates chose to go to college.47.In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refer to .A.high school graduates who aren't suitable for college education.B.college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxis.C.college students who aren't any better for their higher educationD.high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college.48.According to the passage, the problems of college education partly originate in thefact that .A.society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained graduates.B.High school graduates do not fit the pattern of college education.C.Too many students have to earn their own living.D.College administrators encourage students to drop out.49.In this passage the author argues that .A.more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for highschool graduates.B.College education is not enough if one wants to be successful.C.College education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning people.D.Intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to college.(B) (6’)LONDON—The tiny, distant and frozen planet Pluto, for 30 years believed to have just one moon, has suddenly been found to have two more satellites. Only discovered in 1930 because of its vast distance from Earth, Pluto has remained a largely mysterious object ever since. Some three billion miles from the Sun, Pluto (used to be the ninth planet), is the only one not yet to have been visited by a spacecraft. Its first known satellite is called Charon. With a diameter (直径) of 1,200 km, it is half that of Pluto—unusually large for a moon in relation to its primary.But now, using images from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Southwest Research Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have found two more tiny orbiting satellites, P1 and P2. Both are traveling outside the orbit of Charon and are tiny by comparison, the scientists wrote in the journal Nature. P1, the more distant of the two from Pluto, has a diameter of between 60 and 165 km while P2 is 20 per ce nt smaller. “Although definitive orbits cannot be obtained, both new satellites appear to be moving in circular orbits in the same orbital plane (平面) as Charon with orbital periods of about 38 days for P1 and 25 days for P2,” they wrote. The discovery of the two new members of Pluto’s family makes it the only object in the Kuiper Belt — a vast region of rock and ice beyond Neptune which contains debris ( 岩屑) from the formation of the solar system — known to have multiple satellites, the scientists said.50.It is implied in the passage that .A.Charon was not discovered until the late1960sB.Charon is the largest satellite in the solar systemC.all the other planets are better observed than PlutoD.Pluto may have some more moons to be discovered51.The underlined word “primary” in Paragraph 4 refers to .A.sizeB. shapeC. planetD. Earth52.Which of the following shows the possible orbits and positions of Pluto’s satellites?(C) (8’)The MacArthur Foundation late last month announced its latest crop of “genius grants”, and once again you thought maybe, just maybe, this was your year.And why not? These days, we’re all geniuses. We might be “marketing geniuses” or “cooking geniuses” or “TV geniuses”. We have so weakened “genius” that it’s fast joining the company of “natural” and “mindful”, words left inactive through misuse.Admittedly, the word is tough to nail down. Sometimes we assume genius equivalent to raw intelligence. But many of humanity’s greatest breakthroughs were achieved by those with on ly modest IQs.Sometimes we think of the genius as someone extremely knowledgeable, but that definition also falls short. During Albert Einstein’s time, other scientists knew more physics than Einstein did, but history doesn’t remember them. That’s because they didn’t make use of that knowledge the way Einstein did. They weren’t able to, as he put it “regard old questions from a new angle”.The genius is not a know-it-all but a see-it-all, someone who, working with the material available to all of us, is able to make surprising and useful connections. True genius involves not merely an extra advance, but a conceptual leap. As philosopher Schopenhauer put it: Talent hits the target no one else can hit; genius hits the target no one else can see.We’ve lost sight of this truth, and too often grant the title of genius on talented people hitting visible targets. A good example is the much-boasted announcement earlier this year that scientists had, for the first time, recorded the sound of two black holes bumping, a billion light-years away. It was a remarkable discovery, no doubt, but it did not represent a dramatic shift in how we understand the universe. It merely confirmed Einstein’s general theory of relativity.As Plato observed, “What is honored in a country is cultivated there.” What do we honor? Digital technology, and the convenience it represents, so naturally we get a Steve Jobs or a MarkZuckerberg as our “geniuses”, which, in point of fact, they aren’t.The iPhone and Facebook are wonderful inventions. In many ways, they make our lives a bit easier, a bit more convenient. If anything, though, a true genius makes our lives more difficult, more unsettled. William Shakespeare’s words provide more anxiety than relief, and the world felt a bit more secure before Charles Darwin came along. Zuckerberg and Jobs may have changed our world, but they haven’t yet changed our wor ld view.We need to recover genius, and a good place to start is by putting the brakes on Genius Flodding.53. The key factor that sets geniuses and talents apart is that .A. geniuses have a larger range of knowledgeB. geniuses have access to far more resourcesC. geniuses can see visible targetsD. geniuses approach things differently54. The reasons why people naturally regard Steven Jobs & Mark Zuckerberg as geniuses include all the following EXCEPT that .A. their achievements bring people convenienceB. they have extraordinary intelligenceC. they are native to the country where digital technology is highly valuedD. they satisfy people’s needs in the age of high technology55. What can we infer from the passage?A. We should stop the improper use of “natural” and “mindful”B. The first recording of two black holes bumping each other is a genius breakthroughC. Charles Darwin is hardly a geniusD. More geniuses remain to be found in our life56. What is the best title for the passage?A. Get a new word, geniusB. Learn from a new model, geniusC. Join in a new group, geniusD. Make a new friend, geniusDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.(8%)Section C A. The critical abilities are beginning to develop in adolescence.B. Their view on life usually falls on two extremes.C. Of all periods of life, this is what may best be called the “plastic age”.D. They are basically timid or self-conscious.E. Despite that, it is also in this period that strong ties between teachers and students develop.F. Fundamentally they want to be kept busy but they refuse to admit it .Adolescents refer to boys and girls at high-school level--more specifically the second, third and forth years of high schools. In dealing with students at this level, we must bear in mind that to some degree they are at the difficult stage, generally called adolescence.Students at this level are likely to be confused mentally. They usually find it hard to concentrate on what they intend to do and often have romantic dreams. 57They lack frankness and are usually very easily affected by their own emotions but hate to admit it. They are driven either by greater ambition, probably beyond their capability, or by extreme laziness caused by the fear of not succeeding or achieving objectives. 58 .They are willing to work, but they hate to work without obtaining the result they think they should obtain.Regarding school issues, although they seldom say so, they really want to be consulted and given an opportunity to direct their own affairs, but they need a good amount of guidance. They seldom admit that they need this guidance and they frequently rebel against it. But if it its intelligently offered they accept it with enthusiasm. As to personal beliefs, most of adolescents are trying to form political ideals and they have a tendency to be sometimes extremely idealistic, and at other times conventional, blindly accepting what their fathers and grandfathers believed in. 59 .On the one hand they are too modest and on the other hand unreasonably boastful. They tend to be influenced more by a strong character than by great intelligence.60 .Having a better understanding of the characteristics and needs of young people at this age is a task that falls both on educators and other people involved. It may also help the young go through this difficult and critical stage of life in a more constructive manner.第II 卷(25%)I.动词填空（包含不定式，动名词和分词）(15%)61.(force) to do what a person doesn’t like to is an unpleasant thing.62.His poor spoken English prevented him from (understand).63.Everybody needs something to look forward to (live) on.64.Rather than (ride) on a crowded bus, he always prefers to ride a bicycle.65.(produce) different kinds of fertilizers, the workers further improved their technique.66.Three officers narrowly escaped (kill) in the hot battle.67.Before he came to London, he had never heard a single English word (speak).68.Billy’ failure (find) out the mistakes in his test paper annoyed his teacher.69.The young trees we planted last week require (look) after with great care.70.Anything worth doing is worthy (do) well.71.Once (touch), the leaves of the plant start to shut together.72.Little Jim should love (take) to the theatre this evening.73.The teacher present seemed (have) a meeting when I passed the meeting room.74.(found) in 1636, Harvard is one of the most famous universities in the United States.75.(give) the general state of his health, it may take him a while to recover from the operation.上海初高中英语整理II.语法综合题型：(10%)Before I went to the British Koi ( 锦鲤) Keepers’ Annual Show, I didn’t understand (76) people could take fish so seriously. However, the more I learned aboutkoi, the more interested I became. As one expert told me, “Collecting koi is far more addictive than you might think. They’re as beautiful as butterflies and very calming to watch.” Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, would have agreed the pool in his specially built Japanese garden was home to89 koi, which (77) (cost) up to £10,000 each.At the show I met koi enthusiast Jean Kelly. “Koi are getting more and more expensive,” she told me. “One recently sold for £250,000.” I was shocked that’s almostas much as I paid formy house. “Well, that was a record,” (78) (admit) Jean. “The normal price is nowhere near as high as that.”Nevertheless, serious collectors can pay up to ￡15,000 for a fully (79) (grow) koi,which is nearly as expensive as a new luxurious car, and the bigger they are, the morethey cost. The cheapest I could find was ￡75 each, but they were only about twice as bigas my goldfish.Jean wasn’t impressed by one of the koi on sale either. “Actually, these koi aren’tany nicer than (80) ,” She commented. “(81)theyare slightly bigger than the ones I’ve got, I paid considerable less than this.”I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Jean, but I (82)consider buying one.Then I remember that all but 5 of Freddie Mercury’s koi died when someone accidentally turned off the electricity supply to their pool. Jean assured me that (83) allthe new equipment available, the survival rate was getting better and better, and (84)looking after koi wasno harder than taking care of any other pet. However, in the end, I decided to stick withmy goldfish. They’re not nearly as beautiful as koi—but they’re a great deal cheaper (85)(replace)!第一单元测验参考答案第10页上海初高中英语整理以下一分一题：1-20: A A C D A B C A D C B B D D A B D C B C21-30: D F B I K G A C H E31-45: C C D A B C D A B A B D C A A以下两分一题：46-49: B C A A50-52: C C D53-56: D B A A57-60: D F B C以下一分一题：（忽略大小写形式）61.Being forced62.Being understood63.To live64.Ride65.Having produced66.Being killed67.Spoken68.To find69.Looking/to be looked70.To be done71.Touched72.To be taken73.To be having74.Founded75.Given76.Why77.Cost78.Admitted79.Grown80.Mine81.Though/although/while82.Did83.With84.That85.To replace第11页。
