AAre you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon. CX-1Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seve n miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018. AiboSony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality. ForpheusForpheus, an “athletic” robot de veloped by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun. Black Box VRThough many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures —all while getting exercise. 1．What is the feature of CX-1?A ．It can be opened by facial expressions.B ．It can recognize and follow its owner.C ．It can move very fast in busy places.D ．It can sense the suitcase’s location.2．Who would most probably want an Aibo?A ．People who want to walk a dog.B ．People who often play tricks on others.C ．People who want to take high-quality photographs.D ．People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one. 3．Which product can help people do physical exercise regularly?A ．CX-1.B ．Aibo.C ．Forpheus.D ．Black Box VR.BNine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I was a director at a company in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn’t completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and manufacturing biodegradable （可生物降解的）packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.Five years later, I’m enraptured and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we’ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we’ve done.And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs （企业家）who are my age. I want to connect with them.So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don’t become entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries —building a community.4．What happened to the author nine years ago?A ．He was fired from his job.B ．He took part in an interview.C ．He applied for a higher position.D ．He changed his job to a better one.5．Why was the new business meaningful to the author?A ．It developed some new technologies.B ．It was beneficial to the environment.C ．It provided jobs for lots of people.D ．It brought in quite a lot of money. 6．What does the underlined word “enraptured” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A ．Exhausted.B ．Intelligent.C ．Delighted.D ．Humorous. 7．What does the author plan to do in the future?A ．To set up a community for the old people.B ．To help people who want to become successful.C ．To meet more people from different backgrounds.D ．To build a community for senior entrepreneurs. CFrom Whatsapp to WeChat, the world has plenty of choices when it comes to messaging apps that connect friends and strangers on the Internet. The market is so crowded tha t for a new competitor to even get noticed, they’d have to come up with something new. Enter “Die With Me”, a fresh chat app that can only be used when your smart phone has 5% or less battery left.Die With Me allows total strangers with low battery to enter an online chatroom and talk as they wait for their smart phones to shut off completely. Using Die With Me requires nothing more than choosing a username first and allowing the app to read your battery situation.The idea behind the app was to turn the terrible experience of dealing with low phone battery into a positive one. The app’s co -developer Dries Depoorter said, “I was in a strange city and my phone battery was low when I was on my way back to the hotel. I was really stressed about this as night fell. At that moment, I had the idea for an app that we could only use when we had low battery. But I didn’t know how it would work until we came up with the idea of making it a public chatroom.”The app was shown by developers David Surprenant from Canada and Dries Depoorter from Belgium at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.According to Depoorter, the app has so far recorded over half a million messages in conversations worldwide, with an average of eight people in the chatroom at any given time. Depoorter also said he and Surprenant intend to make a book with a selection of messages recorded by the app at some point in the future. 8．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A ．People enjoy making friends online.B ．Internet users long for something new.C ．Messaging apps face fierce competition.D ．WeChat has become very popular recently.9．What should you do first if you want to use Die With Me?A ．Apply for a username.B ．Get your phone charged.C ．Shut off your Whatsapp.D ．Invite eight people together. 10．What made Depoorter come up with Die With Me?A ．His poor sense of direction.B ．His personal experience.C ．The popularity of chatrooms.D ．Extreme stress from his work.11．What is the best title for the passage?A ．Popular messaging apps on the InternetB ．Convenient ways of using Die With MeC ．An app used only by smart phones with low batteryD ．Tips on using your smart phone with 5% battery leftDBoth Germans and Americans share much common etiquette （礼仪）. Both place the fork on the left and the knife on the right in formal table settings. However, more so than Americans, Germans are noted for the carefulness with which they approach etiquette. For example, each flower has a specific meaning in Germany. When visiting Germany, it is wise to be aware of the characteristics of German etiquette.In Germany it is good etiquette to shake an individual’s hand when you first meet him or her. Als o, handshakes are important when they conduct business and when they come or go from a meeting. For informal greetings among friends, Germans will lightly kiss one another on both cheeks or the air next to the cheeks. Always refer to someone with a title b efore their name in a social setting. “Frau” is Ms. And “Herr” is Mr. They should be put in front of the name of the individual to whom you are referring.If you are invited to visit someone in Germany, it is important to bring a small gift such as wine or candy. If you take a wine, be sure to pick an imported one, as bringing a German wine might send a message to the host that he or she does not have a good taste in wine. If you decide to take flowers, yellow roses, which convey joy and friendship, are a good choice. Red roses indicate romance and carnations （康乃馨）symbolize mourning. Do not sit down in someone’s house without being invited to sit first.Germans are organized, appreciating structures in their daily lives. They plan out their day, and it is bad manners to interrupt schedules. They are also very particular about maintaining orderly homes. They place a high priority on cleanliness and take great pains to keep everything in order.12．Why does the author mention the fact that each flower has a different meaning to Germany?A ．To show Germans are particular about etiquette.B ．To remind us to choose flowers carefully in Germany.C ．To explain the important role flowers play in Germany.D ．To explain the common etiquette in Germany and America.13．In Germany, kissing each other is usually accepted among ____________.A ．strangersB ．business partnersC ．friendsD ．family members 14．What is considered improper when you are invited to a German’s home?A ．Taking yellow roses.B ．Bringing a small gift.C ．Taking an imported wine.D ．Sitting without being asked.15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A ．Germans keep strict schedules every day.B ．Germans work effectively at home.C ．Germans live a busy life every day.D ．Germans have a dull lifestyle. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

康德认为，认识含有感性、知性和理性三个要素。
感性是接受印象的能力，知性是规则的能力，理性是原理的能力，它们一起构成人类认识的完整结构。
康德的这一划分，揭示了认识的基本层次，确立了理性的至高地位。
西方的哲学思维方式本质上是理性主义，而中国传统哲学的思维方式却与其迥然而异：它无疑也含有理性主义的因素，但并不归结为理性主义；它较注重悟性、直觉和体验，但又不归结为非理性主义和直觉主义。
它在本质上更具有悟性的色彩，是悟性主义。
儒家的格物致知，通俗地说，就是用既有的思维尺度、框架去衡量、测度对象。
只是这种把握绝非理性主义，它更具有豁然贯通的悟性特色。
季文子三思而后行。
子闻之，曰：再，斯可矣。
由此可见，在孔子看来，如若过多地理性思考，结果可能适得其反，往往反致迷惑。
老子的玄览，概括了道家的根本思维方式。
心居玄冥之处，览知万物，从最超验的层次对事物的一种整体性的观照和透察。
超验即要排除一切感性经验、语言概念和欲望，保持内心的清静和安宁。
只有如此，才能做到常无欲，以观其妙。
中国佛教特别是禅宗是中印文化融合的产物，又吸收了儒家特别是道家的要素，凝聚了中国乃至东方悟性思维的精华。
在佛家看来，开悟是修行之目的，而菩提为所悟之智，涅为所悟之理，佛及阿罗汉则为所开悟者。
佛教义理对悟或了悟有甚为精密、详尽的研究和解说。
依所悟之程度，将悟分为小悟和大悟；依所悟之迟速，将悟分为渐悟和顿悟；依所悟之途径，将悟分为解悟和证悟（由理解真理而知者为解悟，由实践修行而体得真理者为证悟）；依所悟之主体，将悟分为悟自和悟他，更为重要的是，佛教在长期的历史发展过程中，创造和积累了一整套系统而完备的了悟的方法，堪称无数佛教大师和佛教徒通过世代刻苦修行实践所取得的丰富的悟性体验的结晶。

D．Travelling to Russia for a week.BPersonal trainer Courtney Black used to pretty much live on vegetables and kill herself doing tiring workouts. No surprise, her diet and food rule made her “unhealthy, unhappy, and angry.”Less than three years of deciding to eat more and switching up her exercise routine, the UK resident shared a few transformation photos and explained how her decision to stop restricting her food intake and overdoing it at the gym hasnow made her “happy and healthy.”In a photo, Black describes her diet at the time: yogurt for breakfast; a protein shake, chicken breast and vegetablesfor lunch and extra vegetables if she got hungry later. She gave up sugar, alcohol and cheat meals, and her workouts were incredibly exhaustive.“Ｉwould make sure I burned more than I ate,” she said, writing that she wouldn’t get off the treadmill (跑步机) until she torched at least a thousand calories. As a result, she was “unhappy, unhealthy, faint, food deprived, angry, and in bad relationships,” Black wrote.In another picture, she describes “Ｍy daily diet consisted of plain yoghurt for breakfast, a protein shake, a chicken breast and vegetables for lunch, then if I was hungry I’d have another bag of vegetables. I wouldn’t eat fruit as it had too much sugar, wouldn’t drink alcohol and wouldn’t have any sort of cheat meal.”Now, her improved meal plan consists of oats with banana and protein; a post-workout shake, chicken, rice and vegetables; and fish, sweet potatoes and vegetables. She also snacks on almonds, rice cakes, protein bars, and other whole, satisfying foods. While she still does some cardio (有氧运动), she’s involved in weight lifting, among other workouts. “Ｏutcome: healthy, happy and strong,” she wrote.Most body transformations shared on social media focus on losing weight. Black’s post shows how finding the right第1 页共8 页第2 页共8 页balance for your body so you feel great is a positive body transformation too.4．What can we learn about Courtney Black from the first paragraph?A．She used to be pretty. B．She mainly fed on vegetables.C．She died while doing tiring workout.

The findings, which were published online today in Cell Reports, have the potential to help researchers develop more targeted treatment for cognitive and memory disorders.“For the first time, we were able to use genetic information to point us towards specific drugs that might aid in cogni tive disorders of the brain, including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（注意缺陷障碍）,” said Todd Lencz, PhD, senior author of the study and professor at the Feinstein Institute and the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell.In the largest peer-reviewed study of its kind, an international team of 65 scientists, led by Dr. Lencz, studied theA．They published their findings in a newspaper.B．They devoted themselves to improving cognitive ability.C．They found a lot of genetic variations about some disorders.D．Their findings are likely to help find more treatment for some diseases.9．What can be inferred from what Todd Lencz said?A．They could cure cognitive disorders of the brain for the first time.B．It’s their first time to make use of genetic variations.C．Our genes play an important role in cognitive ability.D．Researchers are making rapid progress in genomics.10．What can we know about their study?A．It could only identify a few key genes.

C．Because moresamples are needed to find more genes.D．Because they wonder why our genes play a role in cognitive ability.DThe older I get the worse I look. My hair has started graying and things have started hanging down loosely. I’d never really been self-conscious about the effects of aging but over time I noticed a difference; not in me, but in my customers.genomes of more than 100,000 individuals who had their brain function measured by neuropsychologica（l神经心理的）tests.While some of my customers appear to be ageless, others appear considerably older than they are simply due to theThese data were then combined with genomes from 300,000 people measured for the highest level of educati on achieved, which serves as an estimate for cognitive ability, or how the brain acquires knowledge.While analyzing cognitive ability, researchers also discovered a genetic overlap(基因重叠) with longevity（长寿）. They found when examining an individual’s family that a genetic tendency towards higher cognitive ability was associated with longer lifespan. A new genetic overlap between cognitive ability and risk for autoimmune（自身免疫的）disease was also identified.This study appears less than a year after Dr. Lencz and his colleagues published a similar, smaller study that was onlyable to identify a few key genes associated with cognitive ability.“The field of genomics is growing fast,” Dr. Lencz said. “The number of genes we can discover is a direct function of the sample size available, and thus further research with additional samples is likely to provide even more insight into howour genes play a role in cognitive ability.”8．What information about the investigators can we get from the first paragraph? lack of care they give their appearance before they go out in public. Looking back on some of my older photos, I realized worriedly that I was just as bad and determined to find a way to improve myself.But how? I’m not exactly a beauty expert and I didn’t want to spend a fortune either. I continued watching my customers as I searched for answers.I quickly realized that regardless of social class, females at my age can make a variety of simple wardrobe choices. Even an old, faded T-shirt can look nice when presented in a certain way.I had cosmetics already but I hadn’t purchased jewelry for myself in years! I stopped wearing dangly（悬摆得）things when my kids were babies since they liked to pull them, then passed my collection along to friends so the items wouldn’t go to waste.Bravely, I started wearing cosmetics when I went out as I began searching for some budget-friendly jewelry. I wanted something cheap, timeless, and a bit dangly since I wear my hair up frequently. I eventually wandered across some jewelry that had been placed on clearance.第3 页共8 页第4 页共8 页I’v e now clipped（修剪）my nose hair, pulled my isolated eyebrows, wore a bit of cosmetics, and added a bit of jewelryto my everyday jeans and T-shirts.

2018学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷高三英语试题2018.12高三英语试卷(听力略）Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Please mind the silenceDespite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. An unwritten rule encouraging silence, mixed with classic British reserve, means that (21) __________ you’re packed into an enclosed space with hundreds of other people,the morning commute (上下班）can leave you feeling somewhat isolated.One London resident, however, is trying to change this.“You get on the Tube here and ifs completely silent and ifs weird," says Jonathan Dunne, 42,an American living in London, who has, ironically, started (22) _________ worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (黴章）with the slogan “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging commuters in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting many refusals and most of them (23)__________ (throw) away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign (24)_________ (feature) in media across the world ever since, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his sentiment. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of (25) __________ own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them.“I (26)_______ h ardly stand the idea of having to talk to strangers on the Tube on my way to work,” he told the BBC. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and (27) ____________ work. It doesn’tneed to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says. While London has its seemingly antisocial set of regulations to follow, not everywhere lacks a sense of community.Does Dunne hope that some of this community spirit (28) _______________ (mirror) in the UK following his campaign? “People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, (29)____________ I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” he says. “On Monday, Oct 10, the curator (馆长）of the London Transport Museum had me over for tea.”So if you ever end up (30) _______ (use) public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The rise in stories describing events that never happened, often involving fake people in fake places, has led to Facebook and Google’s (31) ______ t o deal with them. But are we really so easy to fool? According to several studies, the answer is yes: even the most obvious fake news starts to become believable if it’s (32)_____ enough times.In the months running up to the US election there was a swrge(大浪）in fake news. According to an analysis by Craig Silverman, a journalist, during this time the top 20 fake stories in circulation (33) ________ the top 20 stories from 19 mainstream publishers.Paul Horner, a creative publisher of fake news, has said he believes Donald Trump was elected because of him. “My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time…His followers don’t fact-check anything - they’ll post everything, believe anything,” he told the Washington Post.Silverman previously (34) _____ rumours circulating online in 2018 and found that sharesand social interactions around fake news articles dwarfed (使...相形见绌）those of the articles that exposed them. According to Silverman, fake news stories are engineered to appeal to people’shopes and fears, and aren’t (35)_______ by reality, which gives them the edge in creating shareable content.You might think you’re im mune to falling for these lies, but a wealth of research disagrees. Back in the 1940s, researchers found that “the more a rumour is told, the more (36)______________ it sounds”. They suggested this means that a rumour born out of mild suspicion can, by gaining currency, shift public thinking and opinion.This false impression of truth was (37) _______ p ractically in 1977 when researchers in the US quizzed college students on the actuality of statements that they were told may be true or false. The researchers found that simply repeating the statements at a later date was enough to increase the (38)____________ of the students believing them.Last year, Lisa Fazio at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and her team found that students become more likely to believe a statement that they know must be false if it is repeated.“Our research suggests that false news can and likely does affect people’s (39) ________ . Even ifpeople are conscious that a headline is false, reading it multiple times will make it seem more trustworthy,” Fazio says.Reassuringly, the team found that a person’s knowledge still has a large influence over their beliefs, but it’s still a worrying (40)__________ given that falsehoods appear repeatedly in our newsfeeds every day.II.ReadingComprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there arc four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Two key climate change indicators — global surface temperatures and Arctic sea ice extent —have broken numerous records through the first half of 2018, according to NASA analyses of ground-based observations and satellite data. Each of the first six months of 2018 set a record as the warmest (41) month globally in the modern temperature record, which (42) 1880,according to scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York. The six-month period from January to June was also the planet's warmest half-year on record, with a(n) (43) ________ temperature 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the late nineteenth century.Five of the first six months of 2018 also (44) _________ the smallest respective monthly Arctic sea ice (45)_______ since regular satellite records began in 1979, according to analyses developedby scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland. The one (46)_____, March, recorded the second smallest for that month.(47) ____ these two key climate indicators have broken records in 2018, NASA scientistssaid it is more significant that global temperature and Arctic sea ice are continuing theirdecades-long trends of change. Both trends are ultimately driven by rising (48) ________________ of heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The extent of Arctic sea ice at the peak of the summer melt season now typically (49) _________ 40 percent less area than it did in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Arctic sea ice extent in September, the seasonal low point in the annual cycle, has been (50) ___________ at a rate of 13.4 percent per decade."While the El Nino event in the tropical Pacific this winter (51) ___________ the gaining global temperatures from October, it is the basic trend which is producing these record numbers," GISS Director Gavin Schmidt said.(52) ____ El Nino events have driven temperatures to what were then record levels, such asin 1998. But in 2018, even as the effects of the recent El Nino wear off, global temperatures haverisen well beyond those of 18 years ago (53) _________ t he overall warming that has taken place in that time.The global trend in rising temperatures falls behind the regional (54) _______ in the Arctic, said Walt Meier, a sea ice scientist at NASA Goddard."It has been a record year so far for global temperatures, but the record high temperatures in the Arctic over the past six months have been even more extreme," Meier said. "This warmth as well as unusual weather (55) _____________ h ave led to the record low sea ice extents so far this year."Section 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.ALate one autumn day at the aquatic center (水上运动中心）in Ancenis, France, something went quietly, horribly wrong. An 18-year-old named Jean-Francois LeRoy was a regular, coming often in the early evenings to swim in the 25-meter pool. Drownings are often difficult to spot. Most are near-silent incidents where the victim quickly sinks out of view. On this particular day maybe the lifeguards weren't paying as close attention as they should have been. Certainly they believed the tall athletic LeRoy was not a high-risk swimmer.But on this evening LeRoy was practicing apnea(屏气）swimming—testing how far he could swim underwater on one breath—and at some point, without making any visible or audible disturbance on the water's surface, he lost consciousness. The guards failed to notice as he stopped swimming and sank to the bottom of the deep end of the pool. With his arms crossed over his head and his feet twitching (抽搐),he was unconscious and drowning. It would lake him as little as four minutes to die.Although the human lifeguards witching the pool were unaware, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing and taking notice. Just nine months earlier the center had installed a state-of-the-art electronic surveillance system called Poseidon, a network of cameras that feeds a computer programmed to use a set of complex mathematical procedure to distinguish between normal and distressed swimming. Poseidon covers a pool's entire swimming area and can distinguish among dim reflections, shadows, and actual swimmers. It can also tell when real swimmers are moving in a way they're not supposed to. When the computer detects a possible problem, it instantly activates a beeper to warn lifeguards and displays the exact incident location on a monitor. The rest is up to the humans above the water.Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed the large, sinking lump that was Jean-Francois LeRoy, lifeguards had LeRoy out of the pool and gave him first aid. He started breathing again. After one night in the local hospital, he was released with no permanent damage. Poseidon had saved his life.56.People sometimes fail to detect accidents in the swimming pool because ___________ .A.lifeguards neglect their dutiesB. drowning men don’t struggle in waterC.there is no electronic surveillance system installedD.drownings often occur quietly and quickly57.Which of the following statements in NOT true?A.Lifeguards will give way to Poseidon system.B.Poseidon system can locate drowning incidents.C.Poseidon system can pick out unusual swimmers.D.Lifeguards will count on Poseidon system.58.The purpose of this passage is to ________________ .A.publicize a machine which can watch out for swimmers in distressB.tell people what may happen in a swimming poolC.warn swimmers not to swim underwater aloneD.advertise an aquatic center equipped with state-of-the-art devicesBThe first animals on earth were never able to achieve much in the world because they lived in the sea, which provided limited oxygen, and they had no backbone. For ages there were many kinds of these animals living in the sea and on land. They differed widely from each other and included such creatures as insects and worms. They had no brain, and therefore none of these animals without a backbone has ever been of much importance. They are wonderfully made but differ so widely that it is really impossible to arrange them in a simple order. However, those who study the different kinds of backboned animals find they can all be arranged in a simple way. More importantly, it is possible to show which class evolved first, which last, and so on.The five great classes of backboned animals are: fishes, amphibian, reptiles, birds and mammals. A common amphibian is the frog which is able to live in water and on land. A mammal feeds its young by giving milk. There are very great differences between a fish, a frog, a horse, a bird and a man; yet they all have a backbone.A great step was taken when some creatures swam ashore. Perhaps it all began when the frog developed. Even today, a baby frog, the tadpole, begins as a fish, having gills (鳃),but then becomes a frog with lungs. The frog even develops feet and hands similar to ours in bone structure. Ages ago the first frog laid down the plan of the kind of limbs(肢）which all backboned animals, including humans, have bad, though some of them, like the bird, do not keep this kind offive-fingered limb all their lives.When the frog has grown from a tadpole to a backboned animal with four limbs, breathing air by means of lungs, it is very like certain of the next class ofbackboned animals-- the reptiles. The larger reptiles living on earth for manyyear ago were dinosaurs. Some of the smaller ones grew stretches of skinbetween their outspread fingers to form wings. We do know, from fessilized(化石的）remains, that the first birds were flying reptiles with sharp teeth. Whata strange world it must have been during these times!59. The author believes that animals without backbones ______.A. had no brain so they did not surviveB. were difficult to classifyC. have been important creaturesD. are easily placed in order of arrival60. From the article we can know ______.A. animals had a backbone but no brainB. insects came from wormsC.animals came from insectsD. the time order of species61.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.The first bird developed from a flying fish.B.The horse belongs to the amphibian family.C.The hand of a frog has four fingers and a thumb.D.All the animals have got backbones inside their body.62.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.How Backboned Animals EvolvedB. How to Classify All Living ThingsC. The Life Cycle of a FrogD. How the First Bird FlewCUntil 1964 most forms of gambling were illegal in the United States. Since then, however, more and more stales have legalized gambling in order to raise income. The U. S. gambling industry has gone from an attitude of “prohibition” to one of “promotion”, as all but five states have now legalized gambling as a solution to their depressed economies.Most states in the United States now depend on incomes from state lotteries (博彩）and use them for good causes, such as improving public education, maintaining slate parks, and developing environmental programs.State governments maintain that the voluntary contribution of funds through state lotteries is preferable to increase state sales or income taxes, and the residents of states using the lottery system tend to support this. The gaming industry has also benefited some of the nation's poorest citizens: Native Americans. The U. S. government ruled in 1988 that slates could not tax the revenues earned by gambling on Native American reservations. Having taken advantage of this ruling an open cosmos (赌场）on their reservations, many Native Americans moved from a life of poverty to a life of wealth.Although there are many advantages to legalized gambling, there has also been a good deal of criticism of state-supported gambling. As states increase their support of state lotteries, they seem to encourage commercial gambling in all its forms. About 50 percent of the U. S. population plays the lottery, according to a study by the University of Chicago. This trend has led to an increase in habitual gambling. More than 5 million Americans suffer from gambling addiction. Those most at risk of becoming addicted include the poor, young people between twelve and eighteen years old, and women over the age of fifty, who are looking for some entertainment. As a result, many of them will end up in prison or even homeless. The promise of winning big fortune has created big problems.Perhaps the most important concern is the moral issue of legalized gambling. The lottery is the only form of gambling that is essentially a government control. Critics ask whether gambling is a proper function of government. Should the government be the spokesman for the expansion of gambling? Critics say state advertising of lotto emphasizes luck over hard work, instant happiness over careful planning and entertainment over savings. The traditional work ethic (道德准则) is being devalued by the pipedream of striking it rich, and this is sending confusing messages to young people.In 1996, Congress created a commission to conduct a legal study of the social and economic impacts of gambling in the United States. After two years of study, the Commission recommended an end to the expansion of legalized gambling and a ban on Internet gambling. Some feel this will severely hurt the gambling industry. Others fear that it is not enough and are asking the government to take a tough stand against gambling.63.According to the passage, we know that _________ .A.any forms of gambling were banned before 1964 in the USAB. the economical problems led to the rise of gambling industry in the USAC. all American stales have legalized gambling since 1964D. only five states have now legalized gambling because of the depressed economies64.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A.State lottery system helps to raise money to improve people's public welfare. B. Gambling industry helps to change the American way of life. C. Gambling industry helps to improve the life of some poor Native Americans. D. State lottery system helps to increase state sales or income taxes.65. What is the author most concerned about?A. The expanding of the gambling industry.B. The suffering of the gambling-addicted people.C. The moral problems brought about by the legalized gambling.D. The disadvantage of Internet gambling.66. In Paragraph 5, the word “pipedream " means ___________ .A. wonderful ideaB. creative ideaC. unworkable planD. practical plan Section CDrectons: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you needA few years ago, a Finnish app took the mobile gaming world by storm. Its set-up was simple and its idea illogical: Angry Birds was little more than a shooting game, with birds instead of bullets and found a new distraction in Fruit Ninja, a game where the object was to chop falling produce. Then there was Candy Crush, where players could save a candy kingdom by matching like-colored bonbons.attack into mindless amusement. In games like Angry Birds, players found an escape from reality. All they had to do is resign themselves to the logic of the game, a world of simple cause-and-effect: Slingshot a bird, kill a pig, score points.Fast forward to 2018, and there's now an Angry Birds movie, here to fill you in on all the details you never wished to know. The birds have been given personalities, motives and back-stories, and so have the evil green pigs. Meanwhile, the game's nonsense had to be made sense of due to a necessary plot for a movie. Logic replaced illogic. Angry Birds is not alone in having its gray areas sketched in for thebig screen. Hollywood has made an industry of answering the questions no one ever thought to ask; to the point of even giving a brand of toy blocks its own story in 2018’s The Lego Movie. Countless secondary characters have also been pulled from the sidelines and given their own opportunities to show on thelonger have the luxury of imagining back-stories for their favorite characters, or debating the open-ended questions in a film5s source materials: An endless flow of prequels(前传)， sequels(续传）and spin-offs（衍生产品）fill in those blanks for them.________70 They'll know. Everything will be determined for them: According to the movie, the main bird Red gets picked on for his bushy eyebrows, and that leaves him feeling isolated and, well, angry. In some ways, Hollywood has taken on the role of fan fiction writers, by expanding and exploring every corner of its fictional universes. But when these universes expand too widely, what will be left to imagine?IV.Summary WritingD irections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the ma/n point(s) of the passage /n no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Are we born with a preference for certain kinds of faces? Or is it just something that people learn, without realizing it? To find out, psychologist Judith Langlois and her team at the University of Texas in Austin worked with young children and babies.The researchers showed each baby photos of two faces. One face was more attractive than the other. The scientists then recorded how long the infants looked at each face.Babies spent longer viewing the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. That meant they preferred the pretty faces. These findings suggest that people prefer pretty faces very early in life. However, it’s still possible that we learn that preference. After all, Schein, who worked with Judith, points out, “By the time we test infants, they already have experience with faces.”That experience can make a difference. Research conducted at the University of Delaware found that babies’ brains are better at processing faces from their own race. So infants quickly come to prefer these faces, Schein says.It’s well-known in psychology that familiar things are more attractive, says Coren Apicella. She is a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “Perhaps average faces are more attractive because they seem more familiar.”Indeed, her research backs this up. Apicella and Little worked with two groups of young adults: British and Hadza. The Hadza are hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, a nation in East Africa. Apicella chose them for her experiment because they had not been exposed to Western culture and standards of beauty.She showed people from both groups two images and asked which was more attractive. One image was an average of five British faces or five Hadza faces. The other was an average of 20 British faces or 20 Hadza faces. People of both cultures preferred the face that was more average —that is, compiled from 20 faces instead of five. The British participants found both Hadza and British faces beautiful. The Hadza, in contrast, preferred only Hadza faces.“The Hadza have little experience with European faces and probably do not know what an average European face looks like,” Apicella concludes. “If they don't know what it looks like, how can they prefer it?”Her findings show how biology and the environment work together to shape our values. “The preference for average itself is biologically based,” Apicella says. But people mu st first experience otherfaces to learn what an average face should look like.TranslationDrectons: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我以为你会和我一起乘高铁去北京。
