It was at that moment that we found his camera was gone. He searched all over his backpack but just couldn’t find it. Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have left it in the taxi. With anxiety and hope, we found out the invoice of the taxi, on which a phone number was printed, so I immediately got in touch with the taxi company. About half an hour later, the driver returned with the camera and you could imagine the wide smile spreading across Tim’s face.

三、One possible version:Jim, look at this interesting picture. I think it tries to convey that we need to look at things from different angles.As we can see, the two kids are looking at the same number in the opposite direction and having an argument about whether the number is 6 or 9. They feel confused why the obvious truth seems invisible to the other. Similar arguments happen in our daily life when we observe things from our own points of view, just like the two kids in the picture. However, if we can exchange their angles, we may find the others’ “ridiculous” opinions also make sense.Therefore, let’s learn to handle problems from different perspectives and appreciate others’ points. Do you agree, Jim?可以接受的立意:1.要从不同角度看问题,尊重他人;2. 相信自己,不要人云亦云;3. 做事之前要确定标准;……高三英语第二学期期中考试听力录音稿Text 1W: I saw the new Clint Eastwood movie last night.M: Oh, you like Eastwood, don’t you?W: No, not really.

(2分)②人有欲望,哪里是尽头呢?(2分)11. ① B(3分)②答案示例:示例1:元好问这首诗“有豪放迈往之气”。
从内容上看,全诗表现出强烈的爱国情怀。
比如首联和颔联作者以横波亭的孤高之势、周围山川的雄壮暗喻青口帅豪杰之豪情;尾联写倚剑高歌,慷慨豪饮,遥想浮云下的西北神州,都表现出勇往直前,收复故土的豪情壮志。
示例2:元好问这首诗“有豪放迈往之气”。
从语言上看,本诗遣词用字不同凡响,给人强烈的视觉冲击力。
像首联中的“插”“压”等字把横波亭下临飞流的孤高之势传神地表现出来了。
再如颔联中的“万里”“千年”分别从空间的广阔与时间的久远来表现景之壮观与人之英武,字里行间表现出一种磅礴于胸的豪迈之情。

见怯君一,而谀臣二,使古而无死者,则太公至今犹存,吾君方今将被蓑笠而立乎畎亩之中,惟事之恤,何暇念死乎!”(“/”处为必断句处,“//”为可断可不断处。
每答对2处得1分。

国子、高子说:“是啊,我们依仗君王您的恩赐,尽管吃的是粗茶淡饭,乘的是驽马柴车,尚且还不想死,何况是君王您呢?”(景公听了)又低头哭泣。

Bertie knew there was something in the wind.His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad.The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet when Father cleared his throat and began, "You'll soon be eight, Bertie.A boy needs a proper education.We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion."But the lion, "he cried, "What about the lion? ""I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you, "his father said.Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath.Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy.He would come to their farm in a few days."No!You can't send him to a circus!"said Bertie."People will come to see him.He'll be shut up behind bars.I promised him he never would be.And they will laugh at him.He'd rather die.Any animal would!"But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.Bertie felt completely betrayed.He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father's rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night.He ran and ran till his legs could run no more.As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion's neck.The time had come."Be wild now, "he whispered."You've got to be wild.Don't ever come home.All my life I'll think of you.I promise I will."He buried his head in the lion's neck.Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him.Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming.He threw sticks.He threw stones.Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do.With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.(1)Bertie's mother was sad probably because she________.A had been seriously ill recently.B had decided to send Bertie to school.C knew selling the lion would upset Bertie.D knew Bertie would hate to go to England.(2)The underlined word"they"in Para.4probably refers to________.A some audience B.

Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun.But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long﹣lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center.Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes梩hat can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms. In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks.For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night.Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, "a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed, "Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of"behavioral despair", 10times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness.All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light﹣dark cycle, the researchers report.The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting (注射) the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression.This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinnings (分子基础) as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University.The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be"an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior.(1)After being exposed to continuous nighttime light,the mice________.A changed their preferences B. C remained active as before D.(2)What does the underlined word"quash"in Para.4probably mean?________A study B. C ease D.(3)We can leam from the last paragraph that________.A light at night may have practical value.B the biological clock is beneficial to humans.C human mood disorders cannot be healed easily.D human studies are more important than animal studies.(4)What is the main idea of the passage?________A Nighttime light may foster depression.B A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C The study on animals can be applied to humans.D Human biological clock can be controlled by lieht.20. Why Doesn't Anybody Copy Apple?Apple's products are the envy of the world.They have beenspectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied.Theminute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete.This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then therace is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable.WhenApple releases a product that defines a category or dramaticallychanges the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built.But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons.Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis.The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price.Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P(标准普尔)500indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future.Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized(商品化) very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical.The climax of this hypothesis is the"chief﹣sorcerer"theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells (符咒).What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages.It's a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort.A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half﹣hearted.There is no"move the Earth"panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of wliat makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it's not a formula.It's complex, it's subtle, but it's not magic.It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.(1)When a new product of Apple comes out,often it________.A ruins an industry dramatically.B starts a revolution of an industry.C puts itself in an unbeatable position.D is soon overtaken by imitated products.(2)According to the passage,other companies don't"copy being Apple"because________.A Apple is not a successful company. B they have no access to relevant resources. C it's hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs. D being Apple takes more than time and efforts.(3)We can infer from Para.5that________.A other companies are dedicated to integration.B Apple itself is fully aware of itsunique advantages. C Apple will hold the leading position in thisindustry. D other companies don't have a great team as Apple does.(4)What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?________A Convincing.B Disappointing.C Unquestionable.D Acceptable.三、第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.21. ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest,enthusiasm or concern.(1)_______ They may also exhibit unfeelingness.Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.(2)_______ Also meaning"absence of passion"in Greek,the term"apatheia"was used by the Stoics (禁欲主义者) to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I,when it was called"shell shock."Soldiers,living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires,saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.(3)_______ In 1950,US novelist Passes wrote"Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with."US philosopher Robert M.Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference.He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush (埋伏).(4)_______There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy.Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement.He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved in something.(5)_______ These include:political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information,and media descriptions of heroes as"chosen"by outside forces rather than self﹣motivated.He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.A.It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B.Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C.He focuses on designed choices that deliberately or indeliberately exclude people.D.The word"dispassion"is used for"apatheia",so as not to confuse it with apathy.E.So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F.Although the word"apathy"originates from"apatheia",it is important not to confuse the two terms.G.Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed people,in which they get a sense that"nothing matters".四、第四部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节情景作文(20分)22. 假设你是红星中学高三(1)班的学生李华.下面四幅图描述了上周六你陪外教Tim 去公园的经历.请根据图片的先后顺序,将这件事以日记形式记述下来,向校报投稿.注意:1)日记的开头已为你写好.2)词数不少于60.提示词:发票invoiceSaturday,March 30 FineThis morning.四、第二节开放作文(15分)23. 根据下面提示,写一篇短文.词数不少于50.You are discussing the following picture with your English friend Jim.Now you are telling him how you understand the picture and what makes you think so.2013年北京市海淀区高考英语一模试卷答案1.

Saturday,April 2 FineThis morning,my foreign teacher Tim and I planned to go to the People's Park to enjoy ourselves.We took a taxi and it wasn't long before we arrived at the gate of the park.On seeing the green trees and blooming flowers,Tim couldn't wait to take pictures.It was at that moment that we found his camera was gone.He searched all over his backpack but just couldn't find it.Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have left it in the taxi.With anxiety and hope,we found out the invoice of the taxi,on which a phone number was printed,so I immediately got in touch with the taxi company.About half an hour later,the driver returned with the camera and you could imagine the wide smile spreading across Tim's face.Both of us were grateful to the driver,and Tim,in particular,insisted on taking a photo with him.Tim and I enjoyed ourselves during the rest of the day,but it was that taxi driver who made our day.23. One possible version:Jim,look at this interesting picture.I think it tries to convey that we need to look at things from different angles.As we can see,the two kids are looking at the same number in the opposite direction and having an argument about whether the number is 6 or 9.They feel confused why the obvious truth seems invisible to the other.Similar arguments happen in our daily life when we observe things from our own points of view,just like the two kids in the picture.However,if we can exchange their angles,we may find theothers'"ridiculous"opinions also make sense.Therefore,let's learn to handle problems from different perspectives and appreciate others'points.Do you agree,Jim?。
2013海淀区一模英语试题解析
后附试卷听力理解部分总体而言,2013海淀一模听力部分总体来说难度低于北京卷高考水平,没有太多混淆的题目和含糊的表达,而它真正的难度在于本次考试发音属英音,考生听起来可能有些不适应。
如果按照平时学习和练习水平发挥,应该不会有太大问题。
若感觉本次考试有难度,考生需加强听力练习,并多听英音磨耳朵。
历届北京市高考听力真题就是不错的练习材料,可以反复听音并做复述或听写训练。
第一部分短对话当中,虽然1,3,5题的选项和对话内容有多个重合,但是提前审题、预判答案会有很大帮助;第二节中的对话和独白也需要考生集中精力,看准问题再有针对性的分析,解题正确率就会很高;第三节的听写填空中,考查大小写、国家/语言的专有名词、数字等,只是本次考试难度偏低,第26题数字填空部分没有在发音、长度或字母数字混合上难为考生,仅仅出了一个两位数“29”。
若按照课上老师明确提示准备考试,一定会取得好成绩。
在此将所有题目按照《2013考试大纲》中的英语“听”的部分考查技能分类,并选部分题目讲解:1、理解归纳话语的主旨要义对应考题:3主旨要义类题目提问方式常带有“mainly talking about”这样的表达,此类题目偏难,往往所有选项表达均与对话内容重合。
此时考生需要寻找对话中心,找准引发其他选项的活动或名词。
特别注意的是,此类题目往往对话一开始就直指主题,一定要集中精力。
如本题spring break即为对话中心,潜水和酒店都是由此引发的,对话内容也是在开始,女士问“Jim, have you got any ideas for our spring break?”本题需要提醒考生注意break本题中为“休息”;另外,scuba diving意为“重装潜水”2、获取事实信息对应考题:1、5、7、10、11、13、14、15这类题目考查最多,但难度不是很大。
和以往考试相比,对话次数和篇幅也减少很多。
只要预读题目,对题干问题和选项发音有心里准备即可轻松答题。

The results are as follows.Chart 1 shows the reasons why people choose to shop online. Of all the people surveyed, 49% think that there are manyvarieties of products in online shops. About one third of themsay that reasonable price is the most appealing factor. And25% hold that online shopping is so convenient that consumers can buy what they want anywhere at anytime. Interestingly, 5% of the people even mention that they can make new friends through online shopping.However, many consumers also express their concernsaboutonline shopping.Among all the concerns in Chart 2, the quality of the products,which accounts for as much as 55%, attracts my attention. Personally, I agree thatwhat consumers get from onlineshopssometimes differs from what can be seen in the pictures, which can be very disappointing. Therefore, we should make sure the product is of good quality before making a purchase.2、Possible versionJim,as you can see,there is a river and a group of ants in the picture.Some ants are working together to build an “ant bridge”so that theirgroup members are able to cross the river and reach their final destination.In my opinion, this picture vividly shows the importance of teamwork. It is impossible for a single ant to cross the river, but when they work together as a group, they can achieve their goals.Similarly in our life, anindividual person cannot easily carry out a challenging task on his own without joining hands with others. In fact, there are a lot of occasions when teamwork is needed, such as ball games, project learning and even parties. As long as everyone of us combines our efforts, we can surely cross the “river” in our life, just like what the little ants do in the picture.This is my understanding of the picture. Don’t you think so, Jim?。

2013海淀一模英语题目解析_____新东方优能中学
2013年海淀区中考英语一模解析四、单项填空(共13分,每小题1分)22. 【正确答案】B【解题思路】对人称代词的考察。
人称代词作主语或者宾语,根据主谓宾的结构可知,主语在谓语动词前,宾语在谓语后。
而此题谓语为:pass,空格出现在pass之后,所以填宾格me。
而C选项my+名词=D选项mine,此处根据pass sbsth得知不适合,故排除。
23. 【正确答案】D【解题思路】对介词(地点)的考察。
根据题意:著名的歌手将会在音乐会大厅中表演节目。
在。
里用介词:at。
此题与去年的北京中考真题里的介词题的at the office相似。
A 中的by表示方式,可加交通工具或者doing。
B中的of,表示所属关系,表示:的。
C中的on,在。
上,表示方位。
所以此题只能选D。
24. 【正确答案】A【解题思路】对连词的考察。
根据题意:前半句:格林先生不能去开会,后半句:他感冒得很厉害。
两者应该成因果关系。
所以A选项’因为’正确。
B选项’除非’,C选项’是否’,D选项’尽管’,都无法构成因果。
故排除。
25. 【正确答案】C【解题思路】对不定代词的考察。
看到了there be与wrong,很多同学会毫不犹豫的选择了A,叫做’ ….出了问题’。
但是前面写的是:电脑工作的很好,显然不是出现了问题,而应该是它的反义词:C。
电脑没问题才能工作的很好。
如果选B,D,那么电脑无法正常工作。
26. 【正确答案】B【解题思路】对形容词的级的考察。
标志的提示词在空格前面的much,还有空格后面的than。
much 修饰比较级,than是比较级两者比较的标志,所以答案就是B。
27. 【正确答案】C【解题思路】对情态动词的考察。
这一点我们从选项可以得知。
’当灯是红色的时候,你怎么样穿越马路’。
A表示能做某事,表示做事的能力。
B 表示必须。
C 禁止。
D 不必。
根据语意我们可知选择C。
28. 【正确答案】A【解题思路】对主将从现的考察。
我们看到了标志词:as soon as,前半句还有will+do的结构,后半句肯定要用一般现在时了,故直接排除了B,C,D。

His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie's feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, "You'll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We've found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. "But the lion, " he cried, "What about the lion? ""I'm afraid there's something else I have to tell you, " his father said. Looking across at Bertie's mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days."No! You can't send him to a circus!" said Bertie. "People will come to see him. He'll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He'd rather die. Any animal would! " But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.Bertie felt completely betrayed (出卖). He waited until he heard his father's deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept (蹑手蹑脚地移动) downstairs, took down his father's rifle (步枪) and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms. round the lion's neck. The time had come."Be wild now" , he whispered. "You've got to be wild. Don't ever come home. All my life I'll think of you. I promise I will. " He buried his head in the lion's neck. Then, Bertie climbed down the hill and walked away.When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion's head.(1) Bertie's mother was sad probably because she.A. had been seriously ill recentlyB. had decided to send Bertie to schoolC. knew selling the lion would upset BertieD. knew Bertie would hate to go to England(2) The underlined word "they" in Para. 4 probably refers to.A. some audienceB. other animalsC.

But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals.The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes—that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, "a sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed, "Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of "behavioral despair", 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light-dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could TAL#NBSP quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting(注射)the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinnings(分子基础)as animal studies can, says George Brainard of Thomas JeffersonUniversity. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be "an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior."(1) After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the mice.A. changed theirpreferencesB. escapedfrom the water more eagerlyC. remained active as beforeD. showed less interest intheir favorites(2) What does the underlined word "quash"in Para. 4 probably mean?A. studyB. predictC. easeD. cause(3) We can learn from the last paragraph that.A. light at night may have practical valueB. the biological clock is beneficial to humansC. human mood disorders cannot be healed easilyD. human studies are more important than animalstudies(4) What is the main idea of the passage?A. Nighttime light may foster depression.B. A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.C. The study on animals can be applied to humans.D. Human biological clock can be controlled bylight.19、【来源】 2013年北京海淀区高三一模第19题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京市第一五九中学高三上学期月考第45题2018年北京海淀区北方交通大学附属中学高三零模第67~70题8分Why doesn't Anybody Copy AppleApple's products are the envy of the world. They have been amazingly successfuland are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple launches a product, everyone knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P(标准普尔)500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, and it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation(革新)and then that innovation becomes commoditized(商品化)very quickly, why should one bother?When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The fabulous part of this assumption is the "chief-sorcerer" theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells.What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration(一体)of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It's a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no "move the Earth" feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it's not a formula. It's complex, it's subtle, but it's not magic. It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.(1) When a new product of Apple comes out, often it.A. ruins an industry dramaticallyB. starts a revolution of an industryC. puts itself in an unbeatable positionD. is soon overtaken by imitated products(2) According to the passage, other companies don't "copy being Apple"because.A. Apple is not a successful companyB. it's hard to find a powerful magicianC. they have no access to relevant resourcesD. being Apple takes more than time and efforts(3) We can infer from Para. 5 that.A. other companies are dedicated to integrationB. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantagesC. Apple will hold the leading position in this industryD. other companies don't have an extraordinary team as Apple does(4) What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?A. Convincing.B. Disappointing.C. Unquestionable.D. Acceptable.四、七选五20、【来源】 2013年北京海淀区高三一模第20题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京市第一五九中学高三上学期月考第46题ApathyApathy is a state of lacking interest, enthusiasm or concern.1They may also exhibit unfeelingness. Christians have condemned apathy as a lack of love and devotion to God and His works.2Also meaning "absence of passion" in Greek, the term "apatheia" was used by the Stoics(禁欲主义者)to show a desirable state of indifference towards events and things which lie outside one's control.The modern concept of apathy became well known after World War I, when it was called "shell shock." Soldiers, living in the trenches among the bombing and gun fires, saw the battlefields filled with dead and wounded companions.3In 1950, U.S. novelist Passos wrote "Apathy is one of the characteristic responses of any living being when it is subjected to something too tense or too complicated to deal with. " U.S. philosopher Robert M Hutchins summarizes the concerns about political indifference. He claims that the death of democracy is not likely to be a sudden murder from ambush(埋伏).4There may be other things contributing to a person's apathy. Activist Dave Meslin argues that apathy is often the result of social systems actively blocking engagement and involvement. He describes various barriers that prevent people from knowing how or why they might get involved insomething.5These include: political media that make it difficult for potentially interested people to find relevant information,and media descriptions of heroes as "chosen"by outside forces rather than self-motivated. He suggests that we redefine social apathy as a result of poorly designed systems that fail to invite others to participate.A. It will be a slow process of fading away from apathy and indifference.B. Apathetic people may lack a sense of purpose or meaning in their life.C. The word "dispassion" is used for "apatheia" , so as not to confuse it with apathy.D. He focuses on designed choices that unintentionally or intentionally exclude people.E. So they gradually developed a sense of disconnected numbness to normal social interaction.F. Although the word "apathy" originates from "apatheia", it is important not to confuse the two terms.G. Author John McManamy argues apathy is a psychological problem for some depressed.五、书面表达21、【来源】 2013年北京海淀区高三一模第21题2015~2016学年北京石景山区北京市苹果园中学高三上学期月考第22题2015~2016学年北京西城区北京师范大学附属实验中学高三上学期期中第23题假设你是红星中学高三(1)班的学生李华。
