上海外国语大学附属外国语学校2017-2018学年高三排位考(阅读训练)英语试题 Word版含答案
上外附中2017-2018学年高三排位考阅读训练Passage 1(Keys to success)Hazel asks how one can stay healthy working the hours I've been working. Here's one thing that helps: don't do it forever! My work is always more than forty hours a week, but these periods of never stopping and sleep deprivation don't go on for very long at a time. The last five weeks or so have been particularly busy, and the last two before a major vote especially so.Most organizers, under the pressure, resort to bad coping mechanisms like overeating, smoking, or drinking too much. It's so easy to think that a quick fix like that will make you feel better, when in the long run it makes you feel worse. I found that keeping low calorie really helped me maintain my mental focus in the last days. There's something about eating just on the lighter side of what I really need that makes me calmer and sharper.Planning is really the key. We made the appetizing muffins over the July 4th weekend, and they were really a health-saver in these last two weeks. Being able to pull a 275 calorie package of perfectly zoned yumminess out of the freezer, engineered to have 27% of the RDA (Recommended daily allowance) of everything, made grabbing healthy food in a hurry easy. I had appetizing muffins for breakfasts on most days with such toppings as hot sauce, mustard, and fat free cream cheese. I really enjoy this little bread, so I felt like I was feasting instead of feeling deprived. Since my husband packs my lunch time salad, filled with an amazing array of greens that pack a nutritional punch along with pumpkin seeds for zinc and fat and eggwhites for protein, I had lunches taken care of. And I was lucky enough to be working in a place that has a convenient Subway, so Subway salads and low carb wraps were always available. Subway can really be a blessing to the health conscious on the run.The good news is: WE WON And we won big. 272 votes for us, 128 for the other union, and only 19 for no union at all. It was a fight up until the end, including threats of violence from the other union. Don't worry, Mommies and Daddies out there. I was very careful never to be alone anywhere, I am being extra cautious. Our leaders inside the hospital were under a ton of pressure as they got attacked by both management and the other union, but so many of their co-workers were supportive that they held up beautifully. Now they finally have a chance to negotiate a contract that gets them the kind of salaries, benefits and working conditions they deserve. It's about time.I'm off to a meeting to plan next steps... the fun never ends!1. In order to stay healthy while working busily, the author suggests that __________.A. we should work no more than forty hours a weekB. we should try to get rid of the working pressureC. we should try to avoid sleep deprivation and fast foodD. we should stop working and make up for sleep at times2. The author keeps low calorie by __________.A. excluding greasy food from her dietB. eating less than necessaryC. taking up a nutritious recipeD. having no more than three meals a day3. What did the author eat for supper?A. Salad and low carb wraps bought in the Subway.B. Appetizing muffins with diverse toppings.C. Green salad with pumpkin seeds and eggwhites.D. A nutritional punch prepared by her husband.4. Being an organizer, the author works for __________.A. an election committeeB. a charity fundC. a labor unionD. a hospital management5. “Mommies and Daddies out there” were worried __________.A. about the author’s person al safetyB. that the author’s union would fail in the electionC. about the opposition in the hospitalD. that the author couldn’t get through the pressurePassage 2 (Life of a successful people.)Ricci, 45, is now striking out on perhaps his boldest venture yet. He plans to market an English-language edition of his elegant monthly magazine, FMR, in the United States. Once again the skeptics are murmuring that the successful Ricci has headed for a big fall. And once again Ricci intends to prove them wrong.Ricci is so confident that he has christened his quest “Operation Columbus” and has set his sights on discovering an American readership of 300,000. That goal may not be too far-fetched. The Italian edition of FMR –the initials, of course, stand for Franco Maria Ricci –is only 18 months old. But it is already the second largest art magazine in the world, with a circulation of 65,000 and a profit margin of US$500,000. The American edition will be patterned after the Italian version, with each 160-page issue carrying only 40 pages of ads and no more than five articles. But the contents will often differ. The English-language edition will include more American works, Ricci says, to help Americans get over “an inferiority complex about their art.” He also hopes that the magazine will become a vehicle for a two-way cultural exchange – what he likes to think of as a marriage of brains, culture and taste from both sides of the Atlantic.To realize this vision, Ricci is mounting one of the most lavish, enterprising – and expensive –promotional campaigns in magazine-publishing history. Between November and January, eight jumbo jets will fly 8 million copies of a sample 16-page edition of FMR across the Atlantic. From a warehouse in Michigan, 6.5 million copies will be mailed to American subscribers of various cultural, art and business magazine. Some of the remaining copies will circulate as a special Sunday supplement in the New York Times. The cost of launching Operation Columbus is a staggering US$5 million, but Ricci is hoping that 60% of the price tag will be financed by Italian corporation. “To land in America Columbus had to use Spanish sponsor,” reads one sentence in his promotional pamphlet. “We would like Italians.”Like Columbus, Ricci cannot know what his reception will be on foreign shores. In Italy he gambled – and won – on a simple concept: it is more important to show art than to write about. Hence, one issue of FMR might feature 32 full-color pages of 17th-century tapestries, followed by 14 pages of outrageous eyeglasses. He is gambling that the concept is exportable.1. Naming his quest “Operation Columbus”, Ricci is confident that __________.A. he will be as influential as ColumbusB. he will open up the American marketC. the Americans will associate his magazine with adventurous pioneersD. his magazine will be as memorable as Columbus’ discovery of America2. What does the author think about Ricci’s marketing the English edition of FMR?A. The American history makes it hopeful for the goal to fulfill.B. The fulfillment of the goal lies on Ricci’s marketing strategy.C. Ricci still has a long way to go before he fulfills the goal.D. It is quite possible and feasible for Ricci to fulfill the goal.3. What is the main content of Ricci’s magazine FMR?A. Articles on culture, art and business.B. Articles and pictures about fashion.C. Pictures of works of art.D. Pictures of trendy items.4. The copies of the sample edition of FMR will be distributed to __________.A. magazine and newspaper readersB. well-educated periodical subscribersC. households in direct mailsD. downtown passers-by5. Ricci tries to persuade the Italian corporations to help by __________.A. including them in Operation ColumbusB. showing them the staggering price tagC. comparing them to the Spanish sponsorD. arousing passionate patriotism in themPassage 11.

Reading Comprehension (10%, @1%)Directions: In this part there are two passages. Each passage is followed by five questions. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneJogging has become the most popular individual sport in America. It has become commonplace to see people of all ages running along city streets, in parks and along special jogger's trails that have been built in some cities. Many theories even some mystical ones, have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging. Theplain truth is that jogging is a cheap, quick, and efficient way to maintain (or achieve) physical fitness.The most useful sort of exercise is an exercise that develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems. If these systems are fit, the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies. One can train more specifically, as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football, but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body. It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease, the number one cause of death in America. Only one sort of equipment is needed -- a good pair of shoes. Physicians advise beginning joggers not to try to run in tennis or gym shoes. Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe indispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible, with as little chance of injury as possible. A good running shoe will have a soft-pad for absorbing shock, as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability. A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and foot, ankle, and knee injuries and will enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.No other special equipment is needed, you can jog in any clothing you desire, even your street clothes. Many joggers wear expensive, flashy warm-up suits, but just as many wear a simple pair of gym shorts and a T-shirt. In fact, many people just jog in last year's clothes. In cold weather several layers of clothing are better than one heavy sweater or coat. If joggers are wearing several layers of clothing, they can add or subtract layers as conditions change. It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run. The American Jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk (which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health) to a thirty-minute run. A measure of common sense, a physical examination, and planned schedule are all it takes.1. The main purpose of this passage is to ________.A. discuss jogging as a physical fitness programB. describe the type of clothing needed for joggingC. provide scientific evidence of the benefits of joggingD. distinguish between jogging as a "commonsense" fitness program and a cult movement2. The most useful kind of exercise is an exercise that ________.A. trains the body for weight liftingB. enables a person to run straight ahead for short distances with great powerC. is both beneficial and inexpensiveD. develops the heart, lungs, and circulatory systems3. We can conclude from this passage that ________.A. heart disease is no longer an American problem because of joggingB. jogging can be harmful if the runner is not properly preparedC. warm-up suits are preferable to gym shorts and T-shirtD. jogging is bad for the ankles and knees4. T he author’s tone is ________.A. skepticalB. belligerentC. approvingD. purely objective5. As used in this passage, the word "mystical" means ________.A. awesomeB. horrifyingC. a spiritual disciplineD. viciousPassage TwoIf you were going to spend the rest of your life in a savage wilderness and could only take five books with you, which five would you choose? Remember, these books may be the only books that you would be able to read for the rest of your life. This was a question that faced many of the early settlers who came to live in America, for there were no books, printing presses, or universities here. All reading materials had to be imported from Europe.The early colonists had few illusions about the hardships that awaited them. Tales had reached them about the long, cruel winters, the wild animals, and the lack of companionship. Deeply religious and serious people, they prepared for the difficulties ahead through their books. Whether they were French, Spanish, or English colonists, they would have taken the bible and other books for religious instruction. Some would have brought along books of poetry. Because it was necessary to educate in the New World, all the colonists would have brought along instructional books to teach the children reading, writing, and arithmetic.If you were going to spend the rest of your life on the moon and could only take five books with you, which five would you choose? Remember, these books may be the only books that you would be able to read for the rest of your life! The one book that we might still select is the Bible, but millions of books have been published since 1620, and so our other choices would be much more difficult!6. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, “had few illusions about” may best be replaced by __________.A. “were not interested in”B. “accepted the fact about”C. “did not have any faith in”D. “showed no concern for”7. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the early colonists?A. They were not religious.B. Some of them were English.C. They knew the hardships they were going to face.D. They did not ignore the education of their children.8. What does “the New World” in the second paragraph refer to?A. A Savage WildernessB. EuropeC. AmericaD. The Moon9. According to the passage, it is much more difficult for us to choose five books nowbecause _________.A. there are now fewer books and printing pressesB. all reading materials have to be importedC. the only book we can choose is the BibleD. there are so many more books to choose from10. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Which Books Would You Choose?B. Who Were the Early Colonists?C. How Did the Early Colonists Educate Their Children?D. Do You Want to Go to the Moon?IV. Translation (20%)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.Many of the people who settled in the United States were poor. The country they came to was a wilderness. Land had to be cleared of trees in order to make farms; mines had to be developed; houses, shops, and public buildings had to be built. Everyone had to help build them. Manual labor was highly valued. Later it was the man who worked with his head to achieve success in business and industry that was looked up to. Now there is in America a curious combination of pride in having risen to a position where it is no longer necessary to depend on manual labor for a living and genuine delight in what one is able to accomplish with one’s own hands.Foreigners sometimes draw the conclusion that Americans are wealthier than they are because they have such things as vacation houses or beautifully landscaped gardens. Yet they do not always realize that the Americans have these things only because they have made them themselves.V. Writing (20%)Directions: Write an essay of about 200 words according to the following prompt. The statements below are for your reference. A title is needed.1. In education we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.----W. A. White 2. Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lightening of a fire.----W. B. Yeats。

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的).When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of managementlayers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.51. A. desire B. seek C. lose D. dislike52.

For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began: She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2018 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, aftera push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start of the industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark(认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaninglessdrivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valu able only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete thestatements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed ti reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of the country’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A xix-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far eastern cities such as Hong Kong, is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up” escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walking and standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up” escalators will be used for_________________.I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

上海外国语大学附属外国语学校2018届高三排位考阅读理解文学类英语试题含答案Passage 1 Family. LoveAfter 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you."The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news."I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes couldonly read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips."It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said."Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed."How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home."Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".1. When the mother heard it was the son’s call, she was __________.A. worriedB. surprisedC. suspiciousD. puzzled2. The mother’s friends were most impressed by __________.A. the memorable date between the mother and the sonB. the mother’s realiz ation of her long-awaited dreamC. the son’s love for his motherD. the mother’s pride in her son3.

The passage intends to teach us how to cherish __________.A. our parentsB. loveC. our familyD. lifePassage 2 Little house in the Big Woods.I start from my home in the quiet little suburb of Forest Hills, Long Island. Here , surrounded by green lawns, trees, and flowers, are neat little houses, happy with the voices and movements of wives and children, havens of peaceful rest for men who toil in the city. I drive across the lacy structure of steel which spans the East River, and I get a new and startling vision of the power and ingenuity of the mind of man. Busy boasts chug and scurry about the river - racy speed boat, stolid, snorting tugs. If I had long days of sight ahead, I should spend many of them watching the delightful activity upon the river.I look ahead, and before me rise the fantastic towers of New York, a city that seems to have stepped from the pages of a fairy story. What an awe-inspiring sight, these glittering spires. These vast banks of stone and steel-structures such as the gods might build for themselves! This animated picture is a part of the lives of millions of people every day. How many, I wonder, give it so much a s a second’s glance? Very few, I fear, their eyes are blind to this magnifi cent sight because it is so familiar to them.I hurry to the top of one of those gigantic structures, the Empire State Building, for there, a short time ago, I "saw" the city below through the eyes of my secretary. I am anxious to compare my fancy with reality. I am sure I should not be disappointed in the panorama spread out before me, for to me it would be a vision of another world.Now I begin my rounds of the city. First, I stand at a busy corner, merely looking at people, trying by sight of them to understand something of their life. I see smiles, and I am happy.I see serious determination, and I am proud, I see suffering, and I am compassionate.I stroll down Fifth Avenue. I throw my eyes out of focus, so that I see no particular object but only a seething kaleidoscope of colors. I am certain that the colors of women's dresses moving in a throng must be a gorgeous spectacle of which I should never tire. But perhaps if I had sight I should be like most other women -- too interested in styles and the cut of individual dresses to give much attention to the splendor of color in the mass. And I am convinced, too, that I should become an inveterate window shopper, for it must be a delight to the eye to view the myriad articles of beauty on display.From Fifth Avenue I make a tour of the city-to Park Avenue, to the slums, to factories, to parks where children play. I take a stay-at-home trip abroad by visiting the foreign quarters. Always my eyes are open wide to all the sights of both happiness and misery so that I may probe deep and add to my understanding of how people work and live. My heart is full of the images of people and things. My eye passes lightly over no single trifle; it strives to touch and hold closely each thing its gaze rests upon. Some sights are pleasant, filling the heart with happiness; but some are miserably pathetic. To these latter I do not shut my eyes, for they, too, are part of life. To close the eye on them is to close the heart and mind.My third day of sight is drawing to an end. Perhaps there are many serious pursuits to which I should devote the few remaining hours, but I am afraid that on the evening of that last day I should again run away to the theater, to a hilariously funny play, so that I might appreciate the overtones of comedy in the human spirit.1. According to the first paragraph, the author is amazed at seeing __________.A. the housesB. the bridgeC. the boatsD. the river2. The author most probably thinks that the New Yorkers are __________ the “glittering spires”.A. scornful ofB. overwhelmed byC. indifferent toD. knowledgeable about3.

What is the author’s attitude towards her present life?A. She wants to treat it like a comedy.B. She wants to change her life style.C. She enjoys her blindness.D. She is appreciative of life.Passage 3 Young Shakespeare.Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him.After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without compromise -- this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment.For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer's journey which would change his life and popular culture forever. As Fleming waited in Jamaica for Anne's divorce to become final, he wrote the first draft of a novel, Casino Royale.Fleming's career as a writer deserves more examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into some of the greatest thrillers ever written. Fleming incurred the respect of authors as diverse as Raymond Chandler, Kingsley Amis, and Edith Sitwell. His fans included John, Jackie, and Bobby Kennedy, and his social circle included Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Evelyn Waugh, and Somerset Maugham.Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short non-fiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the "Fleming-flair" ensured exciting reading. He wrote the "Atticus" column for the Sunday Times, proving a wonderful conduit forinside intelligence information, and clever rebukes.Regardless of book sales or family obligations, Fleming managed to live the life he wanted. As the years passed, his passion for golfing increased so he took more time with it. Fleming's long-term fascination with America grew, so he traveled there more often.Ian Fleming's full life caught up with him through his heart. It may be that years of drinking and smoking took their toll, or that the butter-rich cooking Fleming loved was the culprit. Or maybe it was just genetics. Whatever the cause, Fleming's health declined in the late 1950s. This plus anxieties in the marriage increased Fleming's depression. With the success of Bond, the world came knocking at Fleming's door, and he had a harder time shutting those out that he did not want in his life.Nonetheless, Fleming fought the loosing battle of his weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fire. He continued to drink and smoke, making some excuses but not many. He wrote books he wanted to read, and traveled the world with style and authority. By this time, Fleming had already earned his own fortune, created his own identity, and ruled his own literary empire.。

For instance, they had not yet figured out why the sun rises. Ancient people saw death and disaster. However, they did not always understand what caused them. People developed stories to help make sense of the world. These tales were passed along through storytelling. Often, myths became part of people's religion.Most myths try to answer questions: How was the world created? How did life begin? Why is there good and evil? Cultures everywhere came up with different ideas about how the world was formed. Some stories say an all-powerful god created it. One Polynesian myth tells about the god lo. This god formed the world out of water and darkness. Myths also explain the creation of human beings. One ancient story from India described a being called the Self. When the Self became lonely, it divided into two parts. It became a man and a woman. Their children became the human race. Many cultures also have myths about why sickness and disaster happen. For example, a famous Greek myth tells the story of Pandora. Out of curiosity, she opened a dangerous jar. Inside were sickness and other kinds of suffering. These evils were released into the world.Often cultures developed stories about groups of gods. The ancient Egyptians believed in many of these beings. It was said that some looked like human while others looked like animals. Anubis was the doglike god of the dead. Ra had a falcon's head and was god of thesun. The ancient Greeks also worshiped many gods. They believed that a group of them lived on Mount Olympus. Zeus was always their king. The Greeks later wrote down their myths in poems and plays. they described the adventures of the gods and human heroes. These myths influenced Greek writing and thinking. The ancient Romans borrowed many Greek myths. They often gave (he Greek gods new names. For example, Zeus became Jupiter. The stories were turned into poetry, sculpture and other art forms. They continue to show up In our art today.Choose A for T and B for F.31．Many people used ancient myths to explain events that had not been explained by science. 32．Gods from the Roman culture are so similar to gods from the Greek culture because they both try to answer the same basic questions.33．The Indians thought there were bad things in the world be cause Pandora opened a dangerous jar and released all kinds of evil into the world.34．The myth of a sun god who is half-human half- bird takes place in Egypt. 35．Mythology proves important in understanding how many modern stories came into existence.四、阅读单选The Man of Many Secrets - Harry Houdini — was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century.

上海外国语大学2018年考博二外英语试题分析针对本专业为外语，考博二外为英语的考博英语试卷，华慧考博英语研究中心以上海外国语大学2018年二外英语试题为例，研究了其各个题型的出题特点及出题来源。
上海外国语大学考博英语的五个题型各具特点，下面将对各个题型的命题情况进行详细分析及说明。
（一）语法与词汇
上海外国语大学的考博英语语法词汇题的题量为30题，语法和词汇各占15分，总分值为30%。
词汇部分主要考查四个方面：词义辨析、动词词组、固定搭配。
其中，词义辨析8题，动词词组3题，固定搭配4题。
语法的具体考查情况见表1-1。
表1-1 上海外国语大学语法考查点
通过表1-1可知，上海外国语大学的考博英语语法考查重点集中在时态、非谓语动词、虚拟语气、倒装句式、反意疑问句等，其中“其他”项还考查了倍数表达、情态动词、特殊句式、形容词词序等语法知识，较为细致且全面。
因此，考生们在复习备考时，除了掌握词汇的基本意思外，还需掌握其常见搭配及固定用法（例如："sounds like" 的常见搭或者时态表达等)。
此外，我们还需具备扎实的语法功底，透彻理解语法知识点，这在之后的完型、阅读、翻译和写作模块里都有考查。
本套试题中的词汇语法题存在一定的难度区间，试题部分选自英语专业四级真题及模拟题。
因此，从这一角度来看，考生在备考这部分题型时，可在夯实语法基础的前提下，补充“学习资料二”中的考博英语常考词组，进行有针对性地练习。
（二）完形填空
上海外国语大学的考博英语完形填空题（有选项）的篇幅在250词左右，题量为20题，分值为20%。
设空的平均间距在10-12词之间，直接根据语法和固定搭配就能选出答案的题目较少，主要考查考生对上下文语境的理解。
每小题给出的四个选项一般都属于同一词类且同一范畴，干扰项也多半可以和空前或空后的词语构成搭配，从而起到一定的干扰和迷惑作用。
选项设置以实词为主，即名词、动词、形容词和副词等，以虚词为辅，即连词、介词等。
作为众多高校博士生入学考试的必考题型之一，完型填空要求考生能够领悟一篇有空缺的文章的语篇大意，根据已学知识，整体理解，通篇考虑，推导“未知”内容。
它既可以在篇目中考查考生的语法词汇知识，又可以考查考生运用所学语言知识的能力，如词义辨析、词语搭配、习惯用法，同时它还要求考生必须具备良好的把握上下文行文逻辑和篇章结构的能力。
针对这一模块的备考，考生可在学习华慧教育“华慧考博英语完型强化提高课程”的基础上，结合《华慧考博英语完形专项》进行练习。
（三）阅读理解
阅读理解在上海外国语大学考博二外英语客观题中所占分值并不高，文章篇数为2篇，共10题，分值为10%。
阅读试题主要选自英语专业四级和大学英语六级考试真题或模拟题，难度适中，生僻词较少，内容专业性不强，多为社会生活类及经济文化类。
阅读题目一般分为五大类型：细节事实题、推理判断题、主旨大意题、词汇题和观点态度题。
上海外国语大学的考博英语阅读理解考查最多的是推理判断题，其次是细节事实题，此外每篇阅读必含一个词汇题，另有一题考查主旨大意或作者的观点态度。
这就要求我们考生不仅要读懂文章的表面意思，更要了解语言的深层含义，同时在做题时一定要足够细心一面掉入出题者布置的陷阱中。
虽然分值不高，但考生依旧不能忽视这一题型的训练（毕竟能多抓一分是一分！），阅读理解的重要性并不体现在分值上，而在于阅读能力与其他专项能力之间的相互作用。
通过阅读训练，考生一方面能够形成全局观，在做完形填空题时更好地理解上下文的语境和逻辑关联；另一方面能够锻炼考生对长难句的信息拆解能力，同时积累许多闪光词汇及句式促进翻译及写作能力的提高。
对于这一模块的备考，考生可学习华慧教育“华慧考博英语阅读强化提高课程”中针对每一题型的解题技巧，结合《华慧考博英语阅读理解220篇》（上、下册）进行练习，该书收录的文章来源于四、六级真题、专四与专八真题、各大院校考博真题以及部分托福、GRE试题等，编排上设置了难度梯度，文章后都附有答案解析，大多附有长难句剖析，部分提供全文翻译，供考生参考。
（四）翻译
上海外国语大学的考博英语翻译占试题分值的20%。
该题旨在考查考生的英语逻辑思维能力以及对英语表达方式的熟练程度，对考生的语法词汇知识有较高要求。
本套试题原文节选自广东外语外贸大学2017年翻译硕士考研真题，属于人文类话题，考生在理解上不会有太大困难，但要注意原文中的固定搭配，最终想用适当的中文表达出来还需在备考过程中多加练习。
考生在备考时，需认真学习华慧教育的“华慧考博英语翻译强化提高班”中的语法及英译汉课程，再结合《华慧考博英语翻译专项》中的其他院校历年院校真题动笔练习，在练习中熟练掌握翻译的基本技巧，结合理论与实践，从而提高自身翻译水平。
（五）写作
上海外国语大学的写作部分占20分，近几年的考察题型都是命题作文，即要求考生根据题目要求完成一篇不少于200字左右的议论文，内容充实，结构完整并无重大语言错误，目的是测试考生运用英语表达思想或传递信息的能力及对英文写作基础知识的实际运用。
建议考生在备考过程中，多练习写作，在学习华慧教育“华慧考博英语写作课程”的前提下，还可以背诵《华慧考博英语写作专项》一书上的范文，进一步将好的句式内化为自己的表达。
除此之外，还应保证每周至少一篇作文的训练量直至考前。
结束语
结合以上分析，上海外国语大学的二外英语考博试题难度大致在六级和专四左右，对语法及词汇基础知识要求较高，考生需有针对性地勤加练习，尤其是客观题部分要尽量保证高分。
