写一封回信，内容须包括：1.你对此事的明确的态度；2.你的理由。

考生原作1I’m glad to hear that you have access to participating in an overseas communication activity in Britain which will last two months. I suggest that you should choose working as a volunteer thirty hours every month for the local community aging, hospital to gain a chance to stay in it for free. My reasons are as follows.Not only can you enhance your social experiences, but also you can reduce your costs. Contrary to the accommodation arranged by the host, you can save a lot of money. Undoubtedly, the cost must have been high if you choose it. Staying in the aging hospital, the contrast couldn’t be greater. On the one hand, only by working as a volunteer can you gain a free stay. It sounds great! Your arrival will add colors to the atmosphere there. On the other hand, during our spare time, we will also spend time helping others in that our society teaches us to be a warm-heated person. Your arrival will also reduce the burdens there. As an old saying goes, “ We can gain both things at the same time.” So why not choose it?I hope that you will take my advise. Best wishes that you will have a good time there. It is a golden chance that you will gain in summer vocation. In short, enjoy yourself.考生原作2It is said that you will go abroad to England for a two-month overseas communication activity in this summer vocation. I hear that you are hesitating whether to spend higher price choosing arranged dormitory or to spend 30 hours every month serving the old to get a free living.In my opinion, I think you should choose the first one. If you choose the second option, you will use too much time to do service instead of studying the local culture. Although communication with the old can get a lot of lively experience and avoid many mistakes in life, your most important responsibility is to learn how overseas students study and what they will learn. Arranged room can save you time and have more chances to live with peers who may have the same interest with you. By this, you can make a lot of young friends and if you are in trouble in future, they may give you some suggestions and a helping hand.I wish that you would take my advice and I’m waiting to hear from you.6 月份高考英语写作题假设你是明启中学的学生王磊，你校学生会将组织一次徒步活动，并在校园公布了如下方案，征求师生意见。

写一封邮件给活动组织者，内容须包括：1.你认为方案中需要改进的地方及改进建议；2.你的理由。

考生原作1I’m a student named Lei Wang of our school. Hearing the news that our Students’ Union will organize a walking program and has put the drafted plan on the Internet, I’ll venture to air my thoughts about it as follows.To begin with, from my point of view, the time planned is not appropriate. As is known to all, the first day of May is the first day of holiday in China so that the center city of Shanghai is sure to be crowded on that day. To ensure that we students have a good taste of beauty of Shanghai, the date had better be put off till the end of the holiday. Besides, I hold the idea that the route should be revised. Personally, after approaching at the Bund, it’s not a good chance to go back according to the original route. Instead, we students can go to other places of interest to go back to school, which guarantees a golden opportunity of witnessing the beauty of Shanghai.In a nutshell, all the thoughts above are based on my personal suggestions. I would be much obliged if my suggestions are fully considered.考生原作2Words come that a walking activity will be held in our school. About this activity, I have some ideas.I think we can make the subject—finding Shanghai. I have seen the subject on our school Internet. I think it is greatful and interesting. But in my opinion, we should go to more local and historic place in Shanghai, such as Yu Garden. Because this local place is rich of many historical culture and meaningful.So my plan is that we can go to Yu Garden first and then we can accept the plan on school Internet---start in People’s Square, Nanjing Road, end in the Bund. The another advice is that I think the time is not fit. Because on Sunday these popular place will attract many trouists, it is very dangerous. So I suggest that we should hold these activity on work day.That’s all, I hope you can accept my advice. Thanks!考生2（修改版）To whom it may concern,Word has come that a hiking event will be held in our school. And you are seeking for opinions from teachers and students. I have some personal opinions about this event.In the first place, I think we should stick closely to the subject—Finding Shanghai, which means letting hikers get to know more about Shanghai. We should go past some unique places which represent the city’s characteristics, such as Yu Garden, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and etc. These places are full of factors of Shanghai’s historical culture and classic architecture. In the second place, I feel that the time is not appropriate, for on Sunday there popular places will be crowded with tourists and pedestrians, which is unfavorable to the event. In this case, I propose that we should hold this hiking event on a workday to avoid unnecessary congestion.That’s all I want to put forward to you, and I hope that you can adopt my suggestion.Yours sincerely,Wang Lei 1月份高考英语概括写作题ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are learning more about its causes.The first environmental cause of shyness many be a child’s home and f amily life. T oday’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbours and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel socially inhibited, or shy, when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Henderson and Zimbardo say, “One expectation is that in Japan an individual performance success is credited externally to parents, teachers, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore Japanese learn not take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years .Due to our huge advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.参考答案：Shyness is common and it has environmental causes, including home and family life, culture and technology. Firstly, with smaller families and working parents, children lack social interactions. Secondly, blaming failure on individuals causes people in some culture to be shy in public. Finally, with the development of technology, people have fewer opportunities to socializein person.6月份高考英语概括写作题Learning by Rote in the Digital AgeRote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as ‘from memory’, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way.The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War II broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about six seconds? But now there are voices for a need to return to rote learning.In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and lawyering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject.While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun.Drilling yourself---with flashcards or by repetition---is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress.Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important.参考答案Rote learning means mechanical memorization. Although technology makes it less needed, its value is being rediscovered. Rote learning helps people acquire basic knowledge, laying a foundation for further understanding. In fact, technology makes mobile learning possible, which motivates learners in rote learning and makes memorization more interesting and individualized.考生Rote learning, the method of memorizing things mechanically, was increasingly outdated by the development of technology. However, some call on the return of it as learning any skill will need memorizing basic knowledge to deepen understanding and make application of knowledge easier. Combined with digital technology, rote learning can now be challenging, informative, motivating and suitable for individual study.。

17年上海卷高考英语作文

17年上海卷高考英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇12017 Shanghai College Entrance Examination English WritingDirections:Write an essay of 200 - 300 words on the following topic:Should parents be responsible for their children's behavior?In the past few years, the issue of whether parents should be responsible for their children's behavior has been a hot topic of debate. Some people believe that parents should take full responsibility for their children's actions, while others argue that children are solely responsible for their own behavior. In my opinion, parents should play a significant role in guiding and teaching their children, but children should ultimately be held accountable for their own actions.Firstly, parents have the primary responsibility to raise their children and instill good values in them. Parents are the first and most influential teachers in a child's life. They should set a goodexample for their children and teach them right from wrong. As children grow up, they learn from their parents how to behave and interact with others. Therefore, parents should guide and educate their children on how to make good choices and be responsible individuals.On the other hand, children should be held accountable for their actions as they grow older. As children mature, they develop their own sense of right and wrong and should be able to make decisions independently. It is important for children to take responsibility for their behavior and learn from their mistakes. This will help them become more self-reliant and develop a sense of accountability for their actions.In conclusion, while parents have a crucial role in shaping their children's behavior, children should ultimately be responsible for their own actions. Parents should provide guidance and support to their children, but children need to learn to take responsibility for their decisions. By teaching children to be accountable for their behavior, parents can help them become independent and responsible individuals.篇2Sorry, I cannot provide verbatim excerpts from the 2017 Shanghai Higher Education English exam. However, I can provide a sample essay on a topic commonly covered in English exams:"The Importance of Cultural Diversity in Modern SocietyIn today's globalized world, cultural diversity plays a crucial role in shaping our society. It enriches our lives and helps us better understand and appreciate different perspectives, traditions, and values. In this essay, I will discuss the significance of cultural diversity and its impact on individuals and communities.First and foremost, cultural diversity fosters mutual respect and understanding among people from different backgrounds. By celebrating our differences, we can create a more inclusive and tolerant society where everyone feels valued and accepted. This, in turn, leads to greater social cohesion and harmony, as individuals are more likely to work together towards common goals when they appreciate each other's unique qualities.Furthermore, cultural diversity promotes creativity and innovation. When people with diverse experiences and perspectives come together, they can generate fresh ideas and solutions to complex problems. Studies have shown that diverseteams are more creative and productive, as they are able to draw on a wider range of experiences and expertise.Moreover, cultural diversity contributes to economic growth and development. In an increasingly interconnected world, companies that embrace diversity are better positioned to compete globally and attract top talent. By tapping into the talents and perspectives of individuals from different cultural backgrounds, organizations can gain a competitive edge and drive innovation.In conclusion, cultural diversity is essential for building a vibrant and inclusive society. By valuing and celebrating our differences, we can create a more harmonious and prosperous world for future generations. It is imperative that we continue to promote cultural diversity and foster intercultural understanding in order to create a more peaceful and sustainable world."I hope you find this sample essay helpful.

2017高考英语作文真题及满分作文范文整理

2017高考英语作文真题及满分作文范文整理2017年高考英语作文真题如下：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the setting in the picture and then comment on the impact of the Internet on people's reading habit. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.2017高考英语作文真题范文：The picture vividly depicts a scene where a girl is reading a book under a tree, while her friend next to her is deeply engrossed in using her smartphone. This picture reflects the impact of the Internet on people's reading habits.As is illustrated by the picture, the Internet has greatly changed the way people read. In the past, reading was a common way to acquire knowledge and information. People could enjoy reading books leisurely. However, with the advent of the Internet, reading has become less popular among young people. They are more likely to turn to the Internet to search for information or to entertain themselves.The Internet offers a wide range of information and entertainment choices, such as online articles, e-books, videos, and social media platforms. These options provide instant access to information and offer various forms of entertainment. Therefore, people, especially the younger generation, tend to prefer reading online rather than reading traditional printed books.However, the Internet's impact on reading habits is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides convenience and efficiency in obtaining information. On the other hand, it leads to a decline in the quality of reading. While reading printed books allows one to fully immerse in the content and enjoy the pleasure of reading, reading on electronic devices often leads to distractions and multitasking.In conclusion, the Internet has significantly influenced people's reading habits, especially those of the younger generation. While it provides convenience, it also poses challenges in maintaining the quality of reading. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between utilizing the Internet as a resource and preserving the traditional reading experience.满分作文范文：The Impact of AI Technologies on EducationWith the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, an increasing number of people believe that AI will revolutionize education. As AI technologies provide personalized learning experiences and assist in administrative tasks, they are expected to change traditional educational practices significantly.One prominent benefit of AI in education is personalized learning. AI technologies can collect and analyze vast amounts of data about students' learning progress, interests, and preferences. With this information, AI can generate individualized study plans and recommend tailored learning resources, enabling students to learn at their own pace and focus on areas where improvement is needed. This personalized approach is believed toenhance students' engagement and motivation, as learning becomes more relevant and meaningful to them.Furthermore, AI technologies can automate administrative tasks in education, freeing up teachers' time to focus on instruction and better meet individual students' needs. For example, AI-powered grading systems can provide timely feedback on assignments, reducing teachers' workload in assessing and grading student work manually. In addition, AI applications such as virtual assistants and chatbots can assist students in answering questions, offering immediate support and guidance.However, the integration of AI in education also raises concerns. Critics argue that overreliance on AI may undermine the value of human interaction and personalized instruction. While AI technologies can provide personalized recommendations, they are limited in their ability to understand human emotions and offer empathy, which are crucial elements in effective teaching and learning.In conclusion, AI technologies are poised to bring about significant changes in education by providing personalized learning experiences and automating administrative tasks. While the benefits of AI in education are evident, it is essential to strike a balance between utilizing AI technologies and preserving the human touch in education. With careful planning and thoughtful implementation, AI can be a valuable tool in promoting more effective and engaging learning experiences.。

2017上海英语高考试卷参考答案

2017上海英语高考试卷参考答案高三是关键的一年，学生们要注意劳逸结合。

加油，祝高考成功!下面是店铺为大家推荐的2017上海英语高考试卷，仅供大家参考! 2017上海英语高考试卷一、阅读理解If you look at the night sky, you’ll often see stars moving very quickly. In fact, they move much more quickly than they should according to their size and the laws of physics.Scientists do not completely understand why the speed of these stars is so high. But many believe the reason is that much of the universe is made of something called “dark matter”. Groups of stars called galaxies, such as the Milky Way, might even be made up of 90 percent dark matter.How much something weighs depends on where it is. The same object weighs only half as much on Mars as it does on Earth and almost three times as much on Jupiter. So scientists prefer to talk about the mass (质量) of something rather than how much it weighs, because mass does not change. They can work out the mass of galaxies by measuring the distance between them and the speed they move at.Recently, Jorge Peñarrubia, a senior academic at Edinburgh University, UK, and his team discovered something interesting: The mass of the Milky Way is only half as much as the mass of another nearby galaxy, Andromeda. This seems strange, and dark matter may explain why.Finding out more about dark matter could help us understand how the universe began, but this is not easy. Lots of scientists with different types of expert knowledge are working on the problem.We can’t see dark matter, it’s very difficult t o measure and we can’t find out its mass. Unlike stars, dark matter doesn’t produce or reflect light. But we can make a good guess that it is there because of the way things move and the way light bends. Experts now think dark matter may be very different from the matter that we find on Earth. There may also be five times as much dark matter in the universe as ordinary matter.1.Something that weighs 15kg on Earth weighs about _____ on Mars and _____ on Jupiter.A. 7.5 kg, 45 kgB. 30 kg, 45 kgC. 45 kg, 7.5 kgD. 5 kg, 30 kg2.The author mentions the masses of the Milky Way and Andromeda mainly to_____.A. explain why the same object has a different weight on different starsB. compare the distance between the Milky Way and AndromedaC. show that studying dark matter could help to answer some scientific questionsD. support the idea that scientists prefer to talk about mass instead of weight3.Dark matter is difficult to investigate because _____.A. it travels at a very fast speedB. we can’t see where it is or measure its massC. it’s hard to measure the light it produces and reflectsD. it is much bigger than ordinary matter in size4.According to the text dark matter _____.A. could accelerate the speed of starsB. could lessen the mass of objects in galaxiesC. makes up the entire universe and its starsD. may help us identify the origins of the universeWhat's the most important thing in life?People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. "Nothing is more special than a child," he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology—more commonly known as "test-tube (试管) baby" technology—passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87."Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child," said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. "He leaves the world a much better place."Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as "scary", according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US.Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. "People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature," Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt "quite alone" at the time."But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing," said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people's safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children."IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era inmedicine had begun," BBC commented.Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other "test-tube" children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth in the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. "He is like a granddad to me," she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.5.What’s the article mainly about?A. The first test-tube baby.B. A new era in medicine.C. The inventor of IVF technology.D. The changes IVF technology has brought.6.The writer mentioned Peter Braude to .A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workB. describe what kind of person Edwards wasC. explain why he is loved by all childrenD. comment on his achievement7.The underlined word "opposition" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to " "A. attackB. supportC. testD. influence8.What is the correct order of events in Edwards' life?a.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers h ave discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were less activeC. were more anxiousD. woke up later10.Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?A.

A lot of the story below is true… but did it really happen quite like this?Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt. It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo. One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancientEgyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen. It was over 3000 years old, but in beautiful condition ------ gold, with bright paintings on it. Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking-price. He gave the man a cheque immediately.The cheque was never cashed. That evening the American adventurer died. For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain. However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb. Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm. The arm had to be cut off.After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland. On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away. The now-terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London. A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her. Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease. She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it. In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events. A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit; and a manager also died for no apparent reason. In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too. They sold it to a collector in New York.At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer werecomplete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home. But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case. For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong room was the mummy case. Or so they say.13.In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to ______.A. forgottenB. uncommonC. unluckyD. expensive14.In what order did the following events occur?a. The case was given to the British Museum.b. Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.c. Murray’s arm was cut off.d. The mummy case was sold to an American.e.

Before realizing what happened, she was presented a bunch of flowers by two pupils and led to the playground. Then the loving words “Thank you. Wish you health and peace!” from the broadcast wafted (飘荡) over the playground. As she stood in the middle of the playground, teachers switched on an iPod and around 350 schoolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a specially designed formation. The teacher was moved to tears when pupils broke into a flash mob dance to mark her final day after 25 years.In fact, taking her health into account, the leadership of the school has advised Mrs. Gabica to retire from school many times, but she refused firmly. Despite having diabetes in 2011, suffering from pain after being hit by a car in 2014 and even having a sick son to care for many years, Mrs. Gabica persevered in teaching and staying with her pupils. If she did not come to the age for retirement, she would be bound to stay with her pupils because she has a deep love for her career. Her pupils spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King’s He Lives in You, which was one of the music lover’s favorites, being careful not to let their secret out of the bag. Obviously, Mrs. Gabica wasn’t prepared for such a memorable send-off.The headteacher Luke Mansfield said，“It was a wonderful way to celebrate all that Mrs. Gabica has done for the school. Since posting it we have had so many messages from former pupils who remember their happy times in her class. It’s a testament to the hard work and I think she deserves everything that she receives.”25. Which words can best describe the scene of the send-off?A. Surprising and inspiring.B. Touching and surprisingC. Sorrowful and unforgettable.D. Educational and memorable.26. Mrs. Gabica had to end her career because of ________.A. a car accidentB. a serious diseaseC. her retirement ageD. the need of her family27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mrs. Gabica is an experienced music teacher.B. Mrs. Gabica directed the flash mob dance secretly.C. Mrs. Gabica’s family may need help after her retirement.D. Mrs. Gabica is thought highly of by her leadership.28. The passage mainly tells us Mrs. Gabica _________.A. received many gifts on Teachers’ DayB. has achieved many honors in her careerC. was given quite a surprise on her final teaching dayD. was extremely welcomed by teachers and pupilsCUniversity can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never usedFacebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agr eement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.29. The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.A. are important for him and others like CatyB. have the power to make students learn moreC. are frequently used by many university studentsD. should be used by all of the students in universities30. The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”A. avoidingB. choosingC. usingD. adding31. Why doesn’t Bethany use social m edia?A. She hates to share everything with others.B. She hopes her personal information is safe.C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.32. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?A. She is completely against them.B. She herself refuses to use them.C. She is completely for them.D. She is objective.DMany runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of thebrain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run t o the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.33. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.34. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives than reserved people.D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhaustingexercise.35. The passage is mainly written ______.A. to recommend different types of music for different peopleB. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levelsC. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on peopleD. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to music第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。
