上海市2017届高三英语二模汇编-summary
2017年高三英语二模汇编——SummaryHopeNothing in my life had prepared for what I had to do.Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm,I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke (中风),that she was unconscious,and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up.As she moved closer to me,Amelia looked at me,eyes bright,and said,“Maybe Grandma will be okay. “Maybe she will,”I said,keeping back the tears.But I knew better.I was flying up to Mytle Beach, South Carolina,from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week,I joined my brother and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room.I held her hand and talked to her.I told her that we still needed her.I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet.I told her how much I loved her.And I told her that her little granddaughter,Amelia,believed that she’d get better.The doctors,with all years of training and experience,offered no hope for recovery.The damage was simply too extensive.A couple of weeks later,an odd thing happened.Mom woke up! And then she preserved through a long and tough process of restoration to health,during which she had to learn to walk,read,and write all over again,and eventually returned home to Dad.The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amelia.The doctors couldn’t explain it.Amelia didn’t need to.Hope came as naturally to her as possible.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes?Maybe it’s because over the years,life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭).How many times have you heard someone say, “Hope for the best, expect the worst?”That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.Doctors were pessimistic about my mother’s stroke while my little daughter, Amelia, full of hope. I passed on Amelia’s hope when our family gathered to bid farewell to her in hospital. Incredibly, she recovered and came back home after a period of restoration. Everyone was astonished except Amelia. Hope does bring people in trouble amazement. (55 words)Fun Offices Make Workers Happier?In order to make their employees happier,companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace.Table football,computer games and action figures have become common in some workplaces.A study shows work still upsets people though companies are trying to make workplaces fun.Forcing employees to be happy is useless because being unable to express negative feelings is always harmful and always looking for happiness deliberately will make people less happy.Rather,the effective way to make employees happy is not to interrupt employees with meaningless tasks.(58words)For thousands of years,people have sailed across the oceans to trade,explore and transport goods.However,not every ship arrives at its port of destination.Weather,war,navigation mistakes and bad luck have caused many ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean.These shipwrecks,which are estimated to number more than three million,have long fascinated us.In addition to being historically important,they sometimes contain great riches.Historical research is a key motivator for shipwreck hunters.Ships carrying documents and artifact can teach us about ancient civilizations and important events.For instance,in 1997 the Pandora,which sank in 791,was discovered off the coast of Australia.The findings from the ship helped us understand the events surrounding the famous mutiny (暴动) on another ship ----- the Bounty.Another important discovery off the US coast in 1996 is widely believed to be the Queen Ann’s Revenge,the flagship of the private Blackbeard.Profit is another motive for shipwreck exploration,as companies use advanced sonar,robots and retrieval equipment to find treasure ships.One such firm is Odyssey Marine Exploration.The company has found hundreds of ships,including,in 2007,a Spanish sailing ship containing 500,000 silver coins.The ship,which sank 200 yearsago in the Atlantic Ocean,carried a treasure estimated to be worth $500 million.Soon after the discovery,a long legal battle over ownership rights took place between the company and the Spanish government.Cases like these are part of an ongoing debate about protecting historically important ships from treasure hunters.Historical importance and profit are the two main driving forces for shipwreck explorations . Key information about ancient civilizations and important events can be obtained from the wreckage . Besides , huge treasures can also be found by using advanced equipment . However , the finding of the treasure sometimes sparks legal debate over ownership .How Safe Is Your Bed?Do you consider your bed a safe place of rest and calm?Do you sink into a mattress (床垫) after a hard day’s work and feel tension and stress drain away as you rest your weary head on a soft pillow?Well,you might not feel so relaxed if you knew that tiny pests were hiding there! It seems that beds may not be such a good place for our health and happiness ---- they could actually be making us ill!Recent studies have shown that bacteria,fungi and dust mites(螨虫),some smaller than the diameter of a hair,live in our bedding.When we move around in our sleep,we disturb them and they are bounced up into the air -- which we then breathe in as we sleep.According to the American Lung Association,four out of five households in the United States now have high levels of dust mites,although it’s not the mites themselves that cause the problems,but their droppings. These are “highly allergenic(致敏的)” according to Dr William Berger,a fellow with the American Academy of Allergy,Asthma and Immunology. “Even if you aren’t allergic---they can still irritate you,the way pepper would if it blew into your nose and eyes.”Brendan Boor,Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, who carries out bed research,also found that bed dust in the air leads to allergies --causing watery eyes,sneezing,coughs and asthma. He has recommended ways to limit our exposure to these boring allergens:Firstly,he suggests vacuuming your mattress regularly – weekly,or even daily.He also recommends doing away with carpets and washing ing allergen-proof bed covers,he says, can reduce the risk of getting allergies. In addition,washing bedding and pillows frequently can help,as can a portable air cleaner placed near the bed.If you do as Brendan Boor suggests,you will breathe in cleaner air as you sleep … or will you? Is it really safe for you to go back in your bed?Studies show that beds aren’t a good place for your well-being and they can even make you sick. Mites, bacteria and other tiny living things in your beds can cause illness or irritate you. Therefore, experts suggest that cleaning carpets, washing floors, using allergen-proof bed covers, and washing bedding and pillows frequently can make your bed safe.Moustache（胡子）for Cash“Movember”,as the annual event is known,sees men in countries including the UK,US and Australia grow out their facial hair while collecting sponsorship money from friends,family and colleagues,with the money going to cancer charities.The month of no shaving began unofficially in 2003,when a pair of men from Australia persuaded their family to join them in growing a moustache in order to encourage men to get themselves checked for cancer,which is seen as distasteful by some males.A year later,the group decided to set up the Movember Foundation,asking friends and colleagues to offer donations of money to support their efforts,and raised a massive A$54,000 which was shared between a number of health projects.With thanks most likely to social media,Movember soon went global and the foundation now operates worldwide,having raised over £440 million since 2004.The effects of the founraising are wide-reaching,which had made a significant discovery in the treatment of cancer.The issue of some men being too self-willed to visit their doctor for a checkup,or perhaps being raised in a culture of “tough it out”,has led some males to neglect their health,which may mean it could be too late if something potentially deadly did develop.However,Movember is helping to break down the shame of male health by making it more accessible,meaning that men are more likely to visit their doctors.They found a way to appeal to men in a way that other campaign just don’t - with a sort of blokey jokiness.①blokey: behaving in a way that is supposed to be typical of men, especially men enjoy themselves in a group.Movember is an annual event that men grow moustach to collect donation money for cancer charities. Initiated in 2004, Movember Foundation raised much money for health projects. Movember then went global and foundraising had active influence on cancer treatment. Men are less likely to care health check-up. Movember started an accessible way to attract men for checking health without shame.Moving My CurfewFor some time now,I have had an 8:00 p.m. curfew ---the time by which I have to be at home,even on weekends.When I was younger,I didn’t really complain.But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable.For several reasons,it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.First of all.I ’m soon going to be an adult,like all teenagers,I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult.When teenagers don’t get practice handling freedom,they often make many serious mistakes.For example,some teenagers go away to college and suddenly they don’t know how to handle it,and they get into trouble.I believe it is better to increase freedom gradually.That may the teenager learners howto handle freedom responsibly.I believe I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistakes in judgment.A later curfew is also important to me because I’m an active student.As you know,I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities.Because of my present curfew,I have to finish school activities over an hour before they are over.Others students must take over for me when I leave.A 10:00 curfew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions and give me enough time to get home without rushing .Finally,I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew.I know that many teenagers cannot handle much responsibility.However,I am clearly not that kind of teenager. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person.For example,I have never been in serious trouble,either at school or in the company.I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a “B” average in school.In other words,I am a person who uses my time wisely,meets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .Though still a teenager, the writer demands to come home later, especially at weekends for the following reasons. More time is needed greater freedom to achieve smooth transition to an adult. Besides, the writer can perform various duties at school without hurrying. Moreover, unlike others, he is responsible and can assign time wisely. (55 words)Why do we read poetry?First obvious one: because we enjoy it.The only other reason is for academic purposes,and that's not why this is here.Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost,and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is.So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.There are many different kinds of poems.They are not all calming.Some poems make me anxious,angry,scared,and sad,which is why I value them.As a reader,I want a full meal,not just dessert.I want the sweet and the bitter.Often,I read poetry when I’m already relaxed.In fact,I read more when I'm not stressed out.Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry,as far as I can tell.Metrical (格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending ually this is done by setting up a rhythm and then breaking it or almost breaking it,and then returning to it again.This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.Poetry plays with language and often puts words together in surprising ways,which is thrilling the way that food can be,when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.Many poems are dense.Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines.This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over,always finding new things in it.And,of course,there’s the subject matter.It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a storyor essay.Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do,either.People read poems for enjoyment as well as academic purpose.Unlike many other people, the author reads different kinds of poems not only for calmness but also for other emotional experience,and the main reason for it is their fixed rules to be followed or challenged, surprising word combination,richness in meaning and interesting subjects.Every year, more and more parents complain to their children’s schools about PE.They believe that their children shouldn’t have to participate in physical activity if they don’t want to.Supporters of PE,however,believe that it is a crucial element of all-round schooling and our society’s well-being.They insist PE in schools remains one of the few places by which the youth can be forced to participate in aerobic exercise.Firstly,they believe that participation in sport promotes health.In fact physical education is a springboard for involvement in sport and physical activities throughout ernment is,or should be,concerned with the health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. This doesn’t have to be through traditional team sports;increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming,gymnastics,dance,etc.Besides, physical education helps to develop character and the mutual（相互的）respect required to succeed in an adult environment.Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others,as they would be expected to do in most business or sporting environments.Sport teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions.It is often the experience of playing on a team together that builds the strongest friendships at school,which endure for years afterwards.Finally,the pursuit for national sporting achievement begins in schools.If schools don’t have compulsory PE,it is much harder to pick out, develop and equip athletes to represent the country on a wider stage.However,it’s much easier to find suitable individuals with a full sports program in every school.概要写作，共10分内容要点：五个点都包含到，给5分，缺一点扣一分1.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke（中风），that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me, Amelia looked at me, eyes bright, and said,“Maybe Grandma will be okay.”“Maybe she will,”I said, keeping back the tears, But I knew better. I was flying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.Then, a couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up. She regained consciousness. Persevered through a long and tough recovery, during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amerlia. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathings.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the year, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment（理想破灭）. How many times have you heard someone say:“Hope for the best, expect the worst”?That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Meet The Member Who Quit SugarWhen I was 15, I weighed 100 kg.I was a size 20+ and hated the way I looked. I was a serial big eater and quite depressed. I would sit in front of the fridge, eat something, move to the cupboard, eat a packet of chips, and move back to the fridge.It was a heartbreaking cycle of hate and food. I didn’t feel confident, pretty, or worthwhile.Shopping made me cry, I avoided mirrors, and my social life came to an end. I actually lost friends because they told me I was antisocial. It became so bad that I wanted to abuse myself; my skin and my mind became my enemy.But then, I turned my life around. I quit sugar.It started with my mum. She staged an intervention(干预) that made me cry. I wanted to change - I needed to change - and she could see how unhappy I was.She put me onto a diet that mostly aimed to schedule meals, and - to my shock horror - cut out all processed sugar. It was so hard at first. I remember the shame of sneaking chocolate and candies when the three o’clock hunger hits.But the weeks kept coming and it just got easier. I stopped eating sugar, and I stopped loving it; simple as that.I substituted chips and biscuits for fruit and nuts, and had cup-of-soups after school when I was hit by the desire. I also had more energy, having a 20-minute walk with my dog into my everyday routine; I began to love that personal time.Cutting out sugar gave me so much more control over my body, and my outlook on life improved. So many people are intimidated by the words “quit sugar”. It’s not true. Fruit, honey, et cetera are natural sugars, and believe me, they fuel you better than chocolate bars ever could.Now I’m 17, turning 18, and I weigh 70 kg. I still struggle with my weight, but this is w here I sit naturally, and I am very proud of myself. I never thought I would be confident enough to wear dresses or skirts, and take leadership roles to put myself out there and develop my social skills.I could never have done it without the support of my friends and family, and I urge everyone who wants to do right by themselves and change their diet - quitting sugar or otherwise - to share their decision with people. Develop a support network, online or offline, which can offer you advice or pick you up when you’re down. And I can assure you, from my own personal experience, your body will thank you, and you will thank yourself too.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.There are various means consumers can do if they find that an item they bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the placeof purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general st atements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them. As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I’m already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical (格律的) poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually this is done by setting up a rhythm and then breaking it or almost breaking it, and then returning to it again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.Poetry plays with language and often puts words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way that food can be, when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over, always finding new things in it.And, of course, there’s the subject matter. It interests me ju st as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Wearable technology can reportedly tell you a lot more than just the number of calories you’re burning or how many steps you’ve walked… That clever smartwatch can actually tell that you’re about to get a cold, days before you start feeling poorly. As New Scientist reports, researchers at Stanford University in California have discovered that wearable tech can now detect when you’re about to fall prey to (感染) a frightening winter bug, simply by tracking your vital statistics.After monitoring 40 smartwatch users for up to two years, the team has demonstrated that the devices can be used to detect the first signs of coming illness. The particip ants’ pulse and skin temperature were continuously monitored throughout the period, with the scientists noting that their smartwatches recorded unusually higher heart rates and skin temperatures up to three days before the volunteers began displaying symptoms of cold or flu.Study leader Michael Snynder said: “Once these wearables collect enough data to know what your normal baseline readings are, they can get very good at sensing when something goes wrong. We think that if your heart rate and skin temperat ure are elevated for about two hours, there’s a strong chance you’re getting sick.” “Continuous tracking of your vital signs is more informative than having a doctor measure them once a year and comparing them with population averages,” he added.The team now hopes to create an algorithm (算法) that will let smartwatches notify you when you’re about to get sick. Well, at least that might give us the chance to stock up on vitaminsand wrap up warm before the germ attacks!IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Fun Offices Make Workers Happier?In order to make their employees happier, companies around the world have been busy installing play equipment in the workplace. Table football, computer games and action figures have become common in some workplaces.Despite all this effort, unfortunately, work still makes people unhappy. According to a study by the London School of Economics, the place where people feel most miserable is work.To proceed with an emphasis on being happy, however, other emotions are crowded out. Anger, sadness, anxiety and uncertainty all become a no-no. Such a ban on negative emotions can be emotionally bad for employees. A number of studies have shown that being able to express a range of positive and negative emotions is important, particularly when people are dealing with difficult experiences.Besides, being constantly on the lookout for happiness may actually drive happiness away from us. Scientists have found that when we talk about how important happiness is, we become less likely to find it, even when we have experiences that usually make us happy.Wanting to be happy at work is fair enough, but being forced to be happy at work can be troubling. If companies were genuinely interested in making their employees happy, they would perhaps look at some more “down-to-eart h” interventions (务实的干预). A simple step would be to stop interrupting workers with all sorts of pointless demands such as long emails and unnecessary forms. A study by Harvard Business School found workers felt most satisfied on days when they were able to focus on a piece of work and make meaningful progress on it.In short, if companies really want to make their employees happier, they should think long and hard before pointless restructuring.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Chaco Great HouseAs early as the twelfth century A.D., the settlements of Chaco Canyon in New Mexico in the American Southwest were notable for their "great houses," massive stone buildings that contain hundreds of rooms and often stand three or four stories high. Archaeologists have been trying to determine how the buildings were used. While there is still no universally agreed upon explanation, there are three competing theories.One theory holds that the Chaco structures were purely residential, with each housing hundreds of people. Supporters of this theory have interpreted Chaco great houses as earlier versions of the architecture seen in more recent Southwest societies. In particular, the Chaco houses appear strikingly similar to the large, well-known "apartment buildings" at Taos, New Mexico, in which many people have been living for centuries.A second theory contends that the Chaco structures were used to store food supplies. One of the main crops of the Chaco people was grain maize, which could be stored for long periods of time without spoiling and could serve as a long-lasting supply of food. The supplies of maize had to be stored somewhere, and the size of the great houses would make them very suitable for the purpose.A third theory proposes that houses were used as ceremonial centers. Close to one house, called Pueblo Alto, archaeologists identified an enormous mound formed by a pile of old material. Excavations of the mound revealed deposits containing a surprisingly large number of broken pots. This finding has been interpreted as evidence that people gathered at Pueblo Alto for special ceremonies. At the ceremonies, they ate festive meals and then discarded the pots in which the meals had been prepared or served. Such ceremonies have been documented for other Native American cultures.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.For thousands of years , people have sailed across the oceans to trade , explore and transportgoods . However , not every ship arrives at its port of destination . Weather ,war , navigation mistakes and bad luck have caused many ships to sink to the bottom of the ocean. These shipwrecks , which are estimated to number more than three million , have long fascinated us . In addition to being historically important , they sometimes contain great riches.Historical research is a key motivator for shipwreck hunters . Ships carrying documents and artifact can teach us about ancient civilizations and important events . For instance , in 1997 the Pandora , which sank in 791, was discovered off the coast of Australia . The findings from the ship helped us understand the events surrounding the famous mutiny (暴动) on another ship ----- the Bounty . Another important discovery off the US coast in 1996 is widely believed to be the Queen Ann’s Revenge , the flagship of the private Blackbeard.Profit is another motive for shipwreck exploration ,as companies use advanced sonar , robots and retrieval equipment to find treasure ships . One such firm is Odyssey Marine Exploration . The company has found hundreds of ships , including , in 2007 , a Spanish sailing ship containing 500,000 silver coins. The ship , which sank 200 years ago in the Atlantic Ocean , carried a treasure estimated to be worth $500 million . Soon after the discovery , a long legal battle over ownership rights took place between the company and the Spanish government . Cases like these are part of an ongoing debate about protecting historically important ships from treasure hunters.Directions: Read the following passage.

From the first day of class, Sara impressed me with her ability to clearly explaindifficult1and texts, her sensitivity to the slight differences within literature, and her passion for reading, writing, and creative expression - both in and out of the classroom. Sara is atalented literary critic and poet, and she has my highest2as a student and writer.Sara is talented at considering the elegances within literature andthe3behind authors' works. She produced an extraordinary year-long thesis paper on creative identity development, in which she compared works from three different time periods and synthesized cultural and historical4to inform her analysis.

The ones marchingacross my kitchen counter looked so confident; I just figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do all the other things ants do?Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren't clever little engineers, architects, or soldiers after all—at least not as individuals. When it comes to deciding what to do next, most ants don't have a clue. "If you watch an ant try to accomplish something, you'll be impressed by how awkward it is, " says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University."Ants aren't smart, " Gordon says. "Ant colonies are." A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.Where this intelligence comes from raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive（蜂巢）if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals—one of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group's success—seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.(1) The author's former false impression about ants is that he thought them tobe.A. smartB. awkwardC. elaborateD. creative(2) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ants will function as a single body once a decision is made by the commander.B. Ants are the only species which developed collective intelligence.C. The ant queen plays a role in managing ant workers besides laying eggs.D. An individual ant can't comprehend the whole process of a big movement.(3) The paragraph following the passage will most probably deal with.A. where we can observe such fantastic behavior of antsB. which is the leading ant in charge of the actionC. how the collective intelligence worksD. what inspiration can be drawn from the collective abilities5、【来源】 2017年上海徐汇区高三二模（B篇）第59~62题8分The idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916by a president of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to "make radio a household cause, so that by purchase of a 'radio music box', the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc."Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts. A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys（唱片音乐播音员）. Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter（发射台）in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1000 people heard this first news broadcast.Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufactures provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestrasvolunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners while others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF （now WNBC） in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America （RCA）, in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium had a practicable industry, and it became a national forum（论坛）for news and popular culture.(1) The passage is mainly concerned with.A. the contribution of radio to popular cultureB. the invention and uses of radioC. early radio programs for a mass audienceD. the history of radio broadcasting(2) Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?A. Frank ConradB. David SarnoffC. Harry DavisD. Warren Harding(3) After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because.A. people could easily get it in storesB. it was cheaper than newspapersC. it had advantages over newspapersD. people were interested in anything new(4) By saying that "the eventual financial basis of the new industry was still unclear", the author means that.A. the private foundations were unwilling to support the stationsB. the stations were not sure yet where to get the operational moneyC. advertising and commercial programs could not raise enough moneyD. the listeners would not pay for the broadcasting stations6、【来源】 2017年上海徐汇区高三二模第63~66题8分It could be said that the age of adventure peaked with Sir Everest Shackleton themoment his ship, the Endurance, become hopelessly locked in ice on its way to Antarctica in January 1915. For ten months the 28 men aboard Shackleton's ship waited and prayed for ice to break. When it finally did, the Endurance sank, leaving the crew homeless and adrift on a sea of ice in one of the world's most dangerous environments.In January 2000 a luxury ocean liner found itself similarly trapped in the cold waters off Antarctica. Argentine authorities sent off an icebreaker straight away from the nearest naval base, and in 24 hours, all 176 passengers and crew were free. The tour company's spokesperson TAL#NBSP spun the potential disaster as a value-added reward in extreme travel. "The people on board are looking at this as sort of a great adventure, " she said.Ever since Jon Krakauer's book Into Thin Air made Everest a household name, the subculture of adventure has blown up like a Himalayan avalanche（雪崩）into public consciousness. Magazines promise "extreme" content, television, offers adventure programs, and the growing collective fascination with adventure has produced a flow of published accounts about the world's greatest adventurous journey. Nowadays more and more people are interested in adventure and this mass appeal makes good business sense. Today the only thing blocking a would-be adventurer's passage to Antarctica is the cost—which typically runs well over $10, 000.Despite very different implications, adventure was just as popular in Shackleton's time. He has little trouble filling the Endurance—5, 000 men are said to have responded to his recruitment（招募）notice: "Men wanted for risky journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful."After five months drifting on ice, the crew were forced to take to their lifeboats to Elephant Island. Reaching the wasteland, Shackleton went on with one lifeboat and five of his best men 1, 300 kilometers across the bone-chilly Scotia Sea to South Georgia Island. Shivering with cold, dressed in rags, Shackleton marched into a whaling station and set about organizing a rescue expedition to Elephant Island. Almost two years after becoming shipwrecked on ice, Shackleton picked up his crew. "Not a life lost, and we have been through hell, " he remarked earnestly.(1) We can learn from the first sentence of this passage that.A. the age of adventure began with the ship Endurance trapped in iceB. Shackleton's adventure marked the highest point of pure explorationC. the age of adventure ended with the ship Endurance trapped in iceD. Shackleton's adventure predicted that the golden age of exploration was approaching(2) The word "spun" in the second paragraph can be replaced by "".A. summed upB. judgedC. boasted aboutD. referred to(3) Since Jon Krakauer's book was published.A. the media have got interested in the topic of adventureB. the costs of extreme travel have gone upC.

But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.3. I hope you're poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there's no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable.2These are essential survival skills.4. If you're like most people, you'll spend most of your adult life thinking, "Once I've saved/earned X dollars, everything will be great." Then you'll hit X dollars, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It's a miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.5. Don't stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don't know what they want until they're twice that age. （These are the signs you're in the wrong career.）6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time.3One day you'll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.7. Change your mind when you need to. I've noticed a tendency for people to think they've mastered investing when they're young. They start investing at age 18 and think they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50, 000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending.410. Don't listen to me if you disagree with what I've written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you'll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself.（On the other hand, always listen to your mother.）A. It'll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what's broken, and shop for a bargain.B. Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for more earning.C. It gives you options and frees you from relying on someone else's priorities.D. Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.E. Actually, your parents have already given you too much.F. What you want is respect and admiration from other people.五、篇章总结8、【来源】 2017年上海徐汇区高三二模第71题10分Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Meet The Member Who Quit SugarWhen I was 15, I weighed 100 kg.I was a size 20+ and hated the way I looked. I was a serial big eater and quite depressed. I would sit in front of the fridge, eat something, move to the cupboard, eat a packet of chips, and move back to the fridge.It was a heartbreaking cycle of hate and food. I didn't feel confident, pretty, or worthwhile.Shopping made me cry, I avoided mirrors, and my social life came to an end. I actually lost friends because they told me I was antisocial. It became so bad that I wanted to abuse myself; my skin and my mind became my enemy.But then, I turned my life around. I quit sugar.It started with my mum. She staged an intervention（干预）that made me cry. I wanted to change - I needed to change - and she could see how unhappy I was.She put me onto a diet that mostly aimed to schedule meals, and - to my shock horror - cut out all processed sugar. It was so hard at first. I remember the shame of sneaking chocolate and candies when the three o'clock hunger hits.But the weeks kept coming and it just got easier. I stopped eating sugar, and I stopped loving it; simple as that.I substituted chips and biscuits for fruit and nuts, and had cup-of-soups after school when I was hit by the desire. I also had more energy, having a 20-minute walk with my dog into my everyday routine; I began to love that personal time.Cutting out sugar gave me so much more control over my body, and my outlook on life improved. So many people are intimidated by the words "quit sugar". It's not true. Fruit, honey, et cetera are natural sugars, and believe me, they fuel you better than chocolate bars ever could.Now I'm 17, turning 18, and I weigh 70 kg. I still struggle with my weight, but this is where I sit naturally, and I am very proud of myself. I never thought I would be confident enough to wear dresses or skirts, and take leadership roles to put myself out there and develop my social skills.I could never have done it without the support of my friends and family, and I urge everyone who wants to do right by themselves and change their diet - quitting sugar or otherwise - to share their decision with people. Develop a support network, online or offline, which can offer you advice or pick you up when you're down. And I can assure you, from my own personal experience, your body will thank you, and you will thank yourself too.六、翻译句子9、【来源】 2017年上海徐汇区高三二模第72~75题15分Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.(1) 铃声一响，孩子们就冲了出来。
