2015年上海市徐汇区高考英语一模试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________I、单选题(本大题共10小题，共10.0分)1.-You are supposed to graduate soon，aren't you？-Yes，in a short while，I'll be free _____ all my worries．（）A.withB.ofC.aboutD.at【答案】B【解析】答案B．分析句子结构，"be free of…"为固定搭配，意为"摆脱…了，无…的"，根据句意"我不久后就要毕业了"可知，我（在学习上）就没有什么烦恼了，因此B项符合语境，其它选项均不符合，故选B．句意：---你应该很快就毕业了，不是吗？---是的，不久，我就会摆脱我所有的烦恼了．本题考查介词辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的介词．特别要注意一些短语的固定搭配．平时学习中要加强介词短语的积累．2._____ rapid spread of railways and the increase in ocean transport that made long-distance t ravelling more common．（）A.Since theB.It was thatC.It was theD.There was the【答案】C【解析】答案：C句中有that，试图把that去掉之后，句子为：Therapid spread of railways and the increase in ocean transport made long-distance travelling mo re common．句子结构和意义都完整，由此可知，本句是强调句型结构：It is/was…that…，所以本题选择C．句意为：是铁路的快速延伸以及海洋运输的增加使得长途旅行变得更加普遍的．判断句型是否是强调句型，去掉其中的I t is/was…that…结构，句子结构和意义还完整，就可以推出此句型是强调结构．3.Evidence came up ______ specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6 months old．（）A.whatB.whichC.thatD.whose【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据句意及分析句子结构可以看出specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6months old．作evidence的同位语，在从句中不缺任何成分，也没有任何疑问，所以用that引导同位语从句．句意为：证据表明，特殊的声音可以被六个月大的婴儿认出来．解答这类题目，关键在于分析清楚句子结构，知道引导词的使用习惯．通过判断引导词在从句中所作的成分，来选择正确的引导词．4._____ with the size of the whole universe，even the biggest star we can observe doesn't seem big at all．（）A.When comparedpareC.While comparingparing【答案】A【解析】答案A．分析句子结构可知，逗号之后是主句，之后是非谓语动词形式．主句主语"star"与所给动词"comare"构成逻辑上的被动关系因此应该用过去分词，排除B、C和D项．句中"When compared"是一个省略结构，完整结构为"When the biggest star is compared with the size of the whole universe"，在句中作时间状语，因此A项符合语境，故选A．句意：当和整个宇宙（被）比较时，我们能观察到的最大恒星似乎根本也没那么大．本题考查现在分词作状语．做这类题目首先根据句意判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．不定式表示动作未发生作目的状语．5.Peter，your hair wants _____．You'd better have it done right now．（）A.cutB.to cutC.cuttingD.being cut【答案】C【解析】答案：C 主语hair和cut是被动关系，谓语动词是want，此时用want doing，用主动形式表示被动的含义，相当于want to be done．所以本题选择C．句意为：Peter，你的头发需要理了．你最好现在就去理发．要掌握一些动词的特殊用法，类似的词还有require need等，加doing也是表被动，相当于require/need to be done．6._____ out of money，we had to pick a cheap hotel for the night．（）A.To almost runB.Have almost runC.Had almost runD.Having almost run【答案】D【解析】答案D．分析句子结构可知，逗号之后是主句，逗号之前应是非谓语动词形式，主句主语"we"与所给动词"run out of"构成逻辑上的主动关系，因此应该用现在分词，从而排除A、B和C项．这里用现在分词的完成式"Having run of"表示"用光钱"这个动作先于"选择便宜宾馆"发生，因此D项符合语境，故选D．句意：由于钱差不多快用光了，我们只好选一家便宜的宾馆过夜．本题考查现在分词作状语．做这类题目首先根据句意判断是谓语还是非谓语，如果是分词做状语的时候，看动词与逻辑主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词的形式；如果二者构成被动关系就使用过去分词的形式．不定式表示动作未发生作目的状语．7.Environmental concerns that worry many never seem _____ any effect on William，who is always optimistic about the future．（）A.havingB.to haveC.to have hadD.had【答案】B【解析】答案：B 用排除法解答本题．因为seem to do sth．为固定搭配，所以排除A、D两项．因为本题是一般现在时态，所以此处应该用不定式的一般式，而不能用不定式的完成时．又排除C项．故选B．句意：令很多人担忧的环境问题好像从来对William没有影响，他总是对未来很乐观．考查不定式作表语．主要区分不定式的一般式和完成式的用法．此题是seem的固定用法．8.In the time of the week，_____ he spent in the mountain，he saw many rare birds．（）A.thatB.whenC.whatD.which【答案】D【解析】答案：D 本题易误选B，分析句子成分，可以知道，先行词是"the time of the week"，非限制性定语从句中，spent是谓语动词，该词是及物动词，所以从句中缺少宾语，故用关系代词，而在非限制性定语从句中表示物的关系代词只能用which，故本题选择D．句意为：在那一周的时间里，他看到很多稀有的鸟，他是山上度过那一周的．分析非限制性定语从句时，一定要分析好谓语动词是否缺少宾语，考生往往看到时间会用when，看到地点会用where，其实有些动词的宾语可以是时间或者地点，比如spend，visit等．9.The man coming back from Africa has been isolated _____ we know that he hasn't caught t he deadly disease，Ebola．（）A.whenB.sinceC.unlessD.until【答案】D【解析】答案：Dwhen 当…时；since自从，既然，unless除非，until 直到…until肯定句中，表示句子的动作一直持续到until后面所表示的时间为止，在这种用法中，句子谓语必须是持续动词或持续状态，until用于否定句中，表示句子的动作直到until短语所表示的时间才开始发生．"被隔离"可以是一个持续的状态，所以本题选择D．句意为：那个从非洲回来的人已经被隔离，直到我们确认他没有感染致命的埃博拉病毒．要了解until用于肯定句和否定句中的区别，用在肯定句中，句子的谓语必须是可延续性的．not…until"直到…才"表示直到某一时间，某一行为才发生，之前该行为并没有发生．用在否定句中，主句中的谓语一般用短暂性动词．10.The greater the population there is in a region，_____ for water，food and transportation．（）A.the greater the needB.there is greater needC.is the greater needD.the great need【答案】A【解析】答案：A本句考查形容词比较级的特殊句型：the+形容词比较级…+the+比较级，意思是"越…就越…"．在本句空格后面其实省略了"there is"．所以选择A．句意为：一个地区的人口越多，它的需要水、食物、运输的量就越大．在形容词的比较级使用中除了表示比较，还有其他特殊的用法，比如：1．"比较级+and+比较级"或"more and more+原级"表示"越来越…".2．"the+比较级…，the+比较级"，表示"越…越…".3．表示倍数的比较级用法．考生需要理解所给句型的含义，作出正确选择．II、信息匹配(本大题共10小题，共10.0分)"A DVD retails for $10 or more．Out of that，we writers（18）______ current）get 4or5cents．We're asking to get 8cents per DVD．The producers and others say we're asking for too much．"That is television writer Saul Bloom's（19）______ （argue）as to why the Writers Guild of America is going on strike

【小题2】argument【小题3】affect【小题4】worse【小题5】substitute【小题6】【小题7】【小题8】【小题9】【小题10】unappreciated demanding special actors loneliness【解析】答案：18．currently 此处在句中作时间状语，所以应使用它的副词形式；意为：目前，我们编剧们从中得到4美分或5美分；故填currently19．argument 此处用于 Saul Bloom's（名词的所有格）之后，所以应使用argue的名词形式；意为：那就是电视撰稿人Saul Bloom的关于美国作家协会明天为什么要罢工的理由，故填argument20．affect 此处用于副词greatly之后，在句中与助动词will一起作谓语，因此应填effective的动词原形；本句意为：由电视与电影编剧们组织的罢工将极大地影响到电视电影的产量；故填affect21．worse 根据句中的than可知，此处应使用bad的比较级，意为：据估计这一次罢工将比上一次更糟；故填worse22．substitute 此处用于助动词will之后，名词短语 new game shows 之前，所以应使用动词原形，本句意为：电视台将取代新的游戏节目；故填substitute 23．unappreciated 根据句意可知，此处的意思是：普通大众强烈支持被认为是低收入和不被赏识的这些编剧们．由于空缺处与and之前的形容词underpaid是并列关系，故此处应填unappreciated24．demanding 此处用于副词too之后，故应使用demand的形容词形式demanding（苛求的；要求高的）；意为：编剧们要求太高．故填demanding25．special 此处用于副词so之后，故应使用speciality的形容词形式special（特殊的；重要的）；意为：他们认为他们是那么重要；故填special26．actors 根据and之后的the crew （全体工作人员），因此可推断and之前也应指人即演员们；故填actors27．loneliness 根据空缺处前后的提示（之前是用在名词前面的定冠词the，之后为定语的标志of短语）可知，此处应填lonely的名词形式loneliness（孤独，寂寞）本文主要讲述的是电视及电影编剧们为争取每一张DVD再多增加几美分的报酬而进行了罢工，此次罢工比1988年的罢工造成的后果更糟，它致使目前所有的需要活跃编剧们的创作技巧而进行制作的电影将停工；电视网络将取代新的游戏节目以及不需要编剧的真人秀；搜索新鲜节目的观众可能不得不切换到有线电视或是租赁DVD等．但最近的一次全国性的民意调查表明：普通大众强烈支持被认为是低收入和不被赏识的这些编剧们．CEC娱乐公司副总裁 Reese Majors却抱怨编剧们要求太高，认为他们所做的只不过是在一张纸上打一堆单词，他们可以舒舒服服地在家里创作，远比不上演员以及其他工作人员辛苦，却还要每张DVD多增加4美分的报酬．本题考查的是用所给词的正确形式填空．做本题时，首先应通读全文，理解文章的大意；其次应了解每一题的考查点，然后结合句意并根据语法常识判断出每题的答案．另外，本题考到的语法知识有：副词用作状语；名词的所有格；形容词的比较级；词类转换等；因此在平时的学习中，应牢固掌握所学过的语法知识．III、完形填空(本大题共10小题，共10.0分)A

连词词义辨析结合前半句可知，此处用作时间状语，意为：在他们让他吃nutraloaf（烤糊糊）作为惩罚之前；故选D31．A 介词词义辨析根据下一句监狱官员们说犯人们反应过激可知，此处表示有犯人反对食用该食物；故选A32．B 名词词义辨析A．chemicals 化学药品；B．ingredients （烹调的）原料；C．extinguisher

安全，平安；B．administration管理，实行；C．therapy 治疗，疗效；D．aggressiveness进攻性，侵略性；根据下一句"因为囚犯没有可扔的或者是可用的器具或盘子来袭击警卫人员或其他犯人"可知，由于该食物只用手拿，因此是提高了监狱的安全；故选A34．D 副词词义辨析A．officially 官方地，依据法规等；B．intelligently

Hope的话可知，他认为犯人们抱怨该食物是不应该的，最后一句话的意思应是：如果他们想吃五星级监狱的食物，他们应该在法国犯下罪行；故选B本文主要讲述了在美国监狱里，囚犯们如果有违规行为，作为惩罚，他们只能吃一种专门的食物"Nutraloaf"（烤糊糊，以各种食材捣碎混合而成的食物）；由于吃该种食物，可以不使用餐具，这也极大地提高监狱的安全性；但囚犯们却抱怨它难吃；阿肯色州的监狱长Bob Hope自己吃过几次nutraloaf（烤糊糊），并且觉得它比玉米面包要好吃，他认为囚犯们只是一群悲嗥者，不应对该食物有所抱怨．做本题时，首先应快速通读全文，了解短文的大意；其次本题主要考查了名词，动词，形容词，副词，连词等的词义辨析，因此应结合文中的大意，选出恰当的单词；这就需要在平时的学习中，在增加阅读量的同时，还需要注意词汇量的积累．IV、阅读理解(本大题共15小题，共30.0分)AIt was a rainy morning two years ago．Shirley Huxham was cycling gently downhill．As she waved to a friend，her bike slid uncontrollably on the wet road，throwing her to the ground．"I'd never even thought of buying a helmet，"she says．For months she was partly paralysed（瘫痪的）down her left side and still has health problems today．Some might think that Shirley was just unlucky．How dangerous can it be to fall from a bicycle？In fact，each year on Britain's roads more than 200people are killed and at least 4，000seriously injured on bicycles．But these numbers don't tell the whole story：the majority of the dead and injured were not wearing helmets．A study of bicycle accidents in the US found that helmets could reduce the risk of serious head injury by 85percent．Yet it is estimated that in Britain，no more than five percent of bicycle-riders wear helmets．Why don't more cyclists wear them？People think that helmets look foolish，that they're inconvenient，and that accidents only happen to other people．One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at less risk than motorcyclists，who are legally obliged to wear helmets．In fact，according to a British report，a higher percentage of bicyclists than motorcyclists suffer head injuries．And their injuries can be just as severe．Helmets，however，can make a big difference．Shirley wasn't just unlucky．If she had worna helmet，she wouldn't have spent months in hospital．Why take the risk？31.The reason why Shirley got badly injured was that ______ ．A.She was riding her bicycle downhill too fast．B.Her friend's waving to her made her lose control．C.She ignored the importance of wearing a helmet．D.The ground was barely wet．32.Which of the following statements is right according to the passage ______ ？A.Wearing helmets will reduce the risk of being killed by 85%．B.Nearly 5percent of bicycle-riders wear no helmet in UK．C.Motorcyclists suffer more head injuries than bicyclists．D.In UK a motorcyclist's wearing no helmet is against the law．33.People don't like wearing helmets due to the following reasons except ______ ．A.Wearing helmets makes them look silly．B.They don't think wearing a helmet is convenient．C.Falling off a bicycle only happens to other people．D.Wearing a helmet is not fashionable at all．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】D【解析】38．C．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"I'd never even thought of buying a helmet"，我从来没有想过买一个头盔，可推测她重伤的原因是没有戴头盔；故选C．39．D．细节理解题．根据文章第五段"One of the wrong ideas bicyclists have is that lower speeds can put them at less risk than mo torcyclists，who are legally obliged to wear helmets"骑自行车的人都还存在着一种错误的想法，自行车较慢的速度会使他们比法律规定必须戴头盔的骑摩托车的人要安全，可知在英国骑摩托车不戴头盔的是违法的；故选D．39．D．细节理解题．根据文章第四段"People think that helmets look foolish，that they're inconvenient，and that accidents only happen to other people"，人们认为头盔看起来很愚蠢，并且戴头盔他们很不方便，而且他们认为事故只会发生在其他人身上；故选D．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了现在大部分人骑自行车不戴头盔的现象，很多人会认为自行车速度比较慢，不带头盔也比较安全，然而调查显示自行车事故中人的头部也极易造成损伤，且伤势不轻，作者旨在提醒读者骑自行车也要注意安全，带好头盔．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．BMany Chinese immigrants began crossing the Pacific to arrive in the United States in themid-1800s．By that time，China's population had reached about 430million，and the country was suffering from severe unemployment，poverty，and famine（饥荒）．The 1848discoveryof gold in California began to tempt Chinese immigrants to the United States．Then，in 1850，the Taiping Rebellion broke out in their homeland．This rebellion against the Chinese government took some 20million lives and caused such suffering that thousands of Chinese left for the United States．In the early 1860s，as the Central Pacific Railroad began construction of its portion of the transcontinental railroad，the demand for railroad workers further increased Chinese immigration．Chinese immigrants mainly settled in western cities，where they often worked as laborers or servants or in skilled trades．Others worked as merchants．Because native-born Americans kept them out of many businesses，some Chinese immigrants opened their own．Another group of Asians，the Japanese，also immigrated to the United States．Until 1900，however，their numbers remained small．Between 1900and 1908，large numbers of Japanese migrated to the United States as Japan began building both an industrial economy and an empire．Both developments interrupted the economy of Japan and caused hardships for its people，thus stimulating emigration．Until 1910 Asian immigrants arriving in San Francisco first stopped at a two-story shelter at the wharf （码头）．As many as 500people at a time were often squeezed into this structure，which Chinese immigrants from Canton called muk uk，or"wooden house．"In January 1910，California opened a few barracks on Angel Island to accommodate the Asian immigrants．Most of the immigrants were young males in their teens or twenties，who nervously awaited the results of their immigration hearings in dormitories packed with double or triple tiers of bunks．This unpleasant delay could last for months．On the walls of the detention barracks，the immigrants wrote anonymous poems in pencil or ink．Some even carved their verse into the wood．34.Which of the following statements is NOT the reason of Chinese immigration to America ______ ？A.The population explosion led to severe unemployment，poverty，and famine．B.The discovery of gold in the United States was a great temptation to Chinese immigrants．C.The great suffering caused by Taiping Rebellion forced many people leave China．D.The United States needed great man power to complete its railroad construction．35.When Chinese immigrants got to America，they usually took the following jobs except______ ？A.Railroad constructorsB.Family servantsernmental officialsD.Businessmen36.The Japanese immigrated to the United States at the beginning of the 1900s because______ ．A.the numbers of Japanese immigrants stayed low until 1900B.the Japanese immigrants to the States wanted to learn moreC.the enormous social changes were taking place in JapanD.the Japanese immigrants wanted to do more businesses in the new world．37.What does the underlined word mean ______ ？A.Foods．B.Camps．C.Wharfs．D.Customs．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】C 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】41．答案A 细节考查题．根据文章第一自然段可知华人来美的原因应该是美国对华人的吸引和需求，包括（B/C/D）三种原因，而选项A是指由于中国人口的膨胀而导致国内的饥荒贫穷失业率高．显然这句话根据文意是错误的，同时也不是华人来美的原因．42．答案C 细节考查题．根据文章中"they often worked as laborers or servants or in skilled trades．Others worked as merchants"可知华人的工作为labors，servants and merchat（businessman）．所以答案为C．43．答案C 细节考查题．根据文中"large numbers of Japanese migrated to the United States as Japan began building both an ind ustrial economy and an empire．Both developments interrupted the economy of Japan and ca used hardships for its people，thus stimulating emigration"可知由于日本国内建设工业经济，这种国内的变革导致了苦难的民众来美，所以答案选C（social change社会变革）．44．答案B 词义推断题．根据划线单词barracks前后语境"first stopped at a two-story shelter at the wharf""who nervously awaited the results of their immigration hearings in dormitories packed with double or triple tiers of bunks"可知一开始移民住的是a two-story shelter后来是barracks，可知barracks应该是住很多人的地方结合选项意思可知camps（大本营）是住的地方，故选B．19世纪中期到很多中国人跨过太平洋来到美国．当时中国的人口达到4亿3千万，国内遭受了失业率高、贫困和饥荒的威胁．1848年加利福尼亚发现了金矿开始吸引华人来美；中国国内的太平天国起义也导致了数以千计的人来到美国；19世纪60年代早期更多的华人来到太平洋海岸铁路的修建．华人主要聚居在美国西海岸，他们大多是劳力、佣人和小手艺人，有的从事了商业，由于当地排华，他们很难在商业圈供职，所以一些华人开自己的店铺谋生．作为另外一波亚洲人的日本人也向往美利坚．1900以前来美数量很少，在1900年和1908年之间由于日本国内振兴工业帝国，使生活苦难的普通日本人陆续来到美国．一开始到达旧金山的亚洲移民都居住在码头边两层小屋里，有时一次住500人．在1910年1月加利福尼亚开设了供亚洲移民住的营房，住在里面的大多是20来岁的年轻人，他们在这个堆满架子床的拥挤宿舍里等待着遗民听证会，无聊的他们在墙上和木头上写了很多匿名诗．本篇文章主要讲述中国人和日本人由于各种原因在历史上出现的移民美国的现象．细节考查题需要找到题目所在的段落根据前后句意，结合题目的选项注意排除和筛选；词义推断题在理解划线词所在段落的基础上，结合前后语境，得出正确答案．CManagement Consultant Suzy Welch remembers the moment 14 years ago when her life"imploded（压破）．"She was speaking to an auditorium full of insurance executives in Hawaii when she saw the faces of two of her children，then six and five，pressed against the glass door．She had parked them in a dance class，but they'd fled out to find her．She wrapped up her remarks and canceled the Q&A．"I was trying to please everyone but pleasing no-one，"she says，"I had to rethink the way I made my decisions．"Author of the bestselling Winning （written with husband Jack Welch，former head of GE），Suzy Welch，49，has a new book，10-10-10，that details the strategy she created after the tremendous decision-making moment．The mother of four explains："When faced with a vital decision，ask yourself，how will my choice affect my life ten minutes from now？Ten months from now？Ten years from now？"Too often we decide something by avoiding the immediate ouch．But by looking at the middle and longer time frames as well as the short-term，we're accessing our real values．My business trip is an example．Had I applied the strategy to it back then，I would have declined it．I had other work travel coming up．I was needed at home．"Many people have found‘10-10-10'thrilling．An entrepreneur moved forward with a new business plan but without the girlfriend，who didn't share his goals．A mum of a troubled teen finally got him to a psychologist after putting it off．Often，in our most stressful moments，we make decisions by instinct only．Or we ask a friend for advice．Or we make no decision and suffer for it．We can live much more deliberately by taking control of choices and really understanding them．"Sure，there's still room for spontaneity（自发的行为）．But when you look at things from three distinct time frames and assess the consequences，never again will you say，‘I have no idea why I made this decision．'"38.What did Suzy do to her two kids before addressing those executives 14years ago ______ ？A.She left them in a car in

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)As you get older, it feels like time tends to move faster. As Dan Ariely explains over at The Wall Street Journal, we tend to fall into familiar routines (25) we age and that makes time move quickly.We perceive time as something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the (26) (likely) you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.Time does go by (or, more accurately, it feels as if time is going by) more quickly, the older we get.In the first few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is brand new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain firmly in our memories. But as (27) years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we (28) (accomplish) a lot and because we are slaves to our daily routines.For example, try to remember (29) happened to you every day last week，chances are that nothing extraordinary happened, so you will be hard-pressed to recall the specific things you did on Monday, Tuesday, etc.What can we do about this? Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we‟ve never done, recommend dishes we‟ve never tasted and sugges t places we‟ve never been. Such an app (30) make our lives more varied, encourage us to try new things, slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.(31) such an app arrives, try to do at least one new thing every week. It‟s not too difficult to push (32) to do new things.(B)This afternoon, I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller. I offered Governor Malloy my condolences（吊唁，慰问）on behalf of the nation, and made it clear that he will have every single resource that he needs (33) (investigate) this heinous（令人发指的）crime, care for the victims, comfort their families.(34) ______ (endure) too many of these tragedies in the past few years. And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would — as a parent. And that was especially true today. I know there‟s not a parent in America who doesn‟t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.The majority of those (35) died today were children — beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them —birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the (36) (fall) were also teachers — men and women who devoted their lives to (37) (help) our children fulfill their dreams.So our hearts are broken today — for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who (38) (lose). Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children‟s innocence has been torn away from them too early, and there are no words that will ease their pain.As a country, we have been through this too many times. (39) it‟s an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago — these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we‟re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies (40) this, regardless of the politics.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. instructionsB. randomC. highlyD. revealedE. simplyF. establishedG. situations H. confirmed I. senses J. common K. routinesPosting a photo of the food you‟re about to eat on WeChat has become a daily ritual（惯例；仪式）for many. Often this food in the photo isn‟t as appealing to those looking at it, but scientists are now claiming taking a photo of your food before you eat it makes it taste better.Researchers at University of Minnesota‟s Carlson Schoo l of Management claim taking a photo puts you in the moment and in doing so, heightens your (41)______. The person taking the photo will, on some level, feel the motivation to continue the practice.Researchers wondered about the power of rituals after noticing the funny (42)______ that people often perform before eating and drinking. They conducted experiments to investigate whetherthese kinds of habitual behaviour influences taste.In the first experiment, some participants were asked to eat a piece of chocolate following a detailed set of (43)______: …Without unwrapping the chocolate bar, break it in half. Unwrap half of the bar and eat it. Then, unwrap the other half and eat it.‟ The other participants were (44)______ instructed to relax for a short amount of time and then eat the chocolate bar however they wanted.The results showed that those who had performed the ritual rated the chocolate more(45)______, enjoyed it more, and were willing to pay more for the chocolate than the other group.A second experiment (46)______ these findings, showing that (47)______ movements don‟t produce a more enjoyable eating experience. The data also (48)______ that a longer delay between ritual and consumption enhanced these effects, even with a common food like carrots.While these rituals may seem insignificant, the researchers note that the effects they produce are quite amazing. And while rituals are (49)______ before mealtimes, they could play a role in other (50)______, too.III.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThere were so many nights when I, as a young boy, had to watch helplessly as my father verbally and physically abused my mother. I can still recall the smell of alcohol, see the fear in my mother‟s eyes, and feel the hopeless misery that comes when we see people we love hurting each other in incomprehensible ways.I would not wish that experience on anyone, especially not a child. If I settle down in those memories, I can feel myself wanting to hurt my father back, in the same ways he hurts my mother and in ways of which I was incapable as a small boy. I see my mother‟s face and I see this gentle human being whom I loved so very much and who did nothing to deserve the pain imposed uponher.When I recall this story, I realize how difficult the process of forgiving truly is. Intellectually, I know my father caused pain because he was in pain. Spiritually, I know my faith tells me my father deserves to be forgiven as God forgive us all. But it is still difficult. The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced live on in our memories. Even years later they can cause us fresh pain each time we recall them.Are you hurt and suffering? Is the injury new, or is it an old, unhealed wound? Know that what was done to you was wrong, unfair, and undeserved. You are right to be outraged. And it is perfectly normal to want to hurt back when you have been hurt. But hurting back rarely satisfies. We think it will, but it doesn‟t. If I slap you after you slap me, it does not lessen the sting I feel on my own face, nor does it weaken my sadness as to the fact you have struck me. Revenge gives, at best, only momentary relief from our emotional pain. The only way to experience healing and peace is to forgive. Until we can forgive, we remain locked in our pain and locked out of the possibility of experiencing healing and freedom; locked out of the possibility of being at peace.Without forgiveness, we remain tied to the person who harmed us. We are bound with chains of bitterness, trapped. Until we can forgive the person who harmed us, that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailer (监狱看守).When we forgive, we take back control of our own fate and our feelings. We become our own liberators. Forgiveness, in other words, is the best form of self-interest. This is true both spiritually and scientifically. We don‟t forgive to help the other person. We don‟t forgive for others. We forgive for ourselves.66.Why did the writer mention the story of his father‟s abuse of his mom?A. Because he loved his mom and wanted to fight back someday.B. Because his father finally realized his own mistake and was forgiven.C. Because witnessing his mom‟s suffering is still hurting him and has no way to relieve.D. Because he felt that he was spiritually relieved from the pain through forgiveness.67.The writer wrote the article in order to tell people that _____.A. we may never heal our pains or sufferings in the heart unless we learn to forgiveB. we should never forget the sufferings buried in our heartsC. we may get tied to the person who harmed us all through lifeD. we shouldn‟t worry about the pains we caused, since forgiving is always easier than imagined68.What is the 4th paragraph mainly about?A. Hurting back does no good to relieving one‟s own hurts, but forgiving.B. If someone slaps you, you just slap back, which will lessen your pain.C. The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced will live on in our memories for ever.D. After being hurt, if one wants to experience healing and freedom, he should forget the hurt.69.Which of the following statements is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. In order to help others, we should stop forgiving and fight back.B. The purpose of our forgiving is not to help other people.C. Our forgiving is also useful to helping others, though they may have hurt us.D. Only by forgiving others can we help them to be good people.BWriting a book review is not like writing a fiction, where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood. Here, you are limited within the scope, which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else. To write a proper literary review, you should follow some important dos and don‟ts, which are discussed here.Top 3 dosSelect a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly. If required, you should read it multiple times, before you really frame up the literary review in your mind. While reading, try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece. Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book, and not before that.Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book. Since you are reviewing the book, your opinion plays an important role here. If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book, then expose that character or the situation in your review, to give it more importance. Also determine your preference with supporting logic. Ultimately it is your understanding o f the book, and it can differ from others‟ viewpoint. But you should stick to your opinion.Follow a proper format to construct your book review. It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion, other than the usual subject body. Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs, to give a nice, structured look. Also, add a list of reference material at the end of the book. A structured material always carries a good impression and also, it helps the reader to go through the article at ease.Top 3 don’tsBook reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books. The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers. If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost.As mentioned earlier, one should not cross your limit to write a literary review. Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up, which is not at all related to the book. The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant. Also, a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression.You can go through reference books or articles on your subject, before you start preparing your article. But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book. These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject. But, you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up. Plagiarism(剽窃), in any form, is a punishable offence by law. It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in thisfield.If you can follow the above dos and don‟ts religiously to write a book review, then it is going to be more original and interesting.70.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “assimilate”inparagraph 2?A. stimulateB. fertilizeC. digestD. enhance71.The purpose of writing a review on a book is _____.A. to show your understanding of the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the bookB. to show that you really stick to your own opinion though you‟ve read the bookC. to arouse reader s‟ curiosity to read more books on irrelevant topicsD. to spark reader s‟ interests in finding the book and reading it72.Which of the following is NOT true about the “dos”?A. Before writing a book review, you‟d better read it thoroughly or many times.B. Write down your literary analysis when reading the book.C. If you are interested in certain situation in the book, you can hardly give it too muchimportance in your review.D. A good review consists of a proper introduction and a conclusion, as well as a nice-structuredsubject body.73.The following statements are “don’ts” when writing a summary except _____.A. going through reference books or articles on your subject, before you start preparing yourarticleB. presenting all the detailed description of the book in the summaryC. the thought or action of putting anything irrelevant to the book into the summaryD. any forms of copying the text from others‟ written workCThe orangutan (红毛猩猩), the most inactive of the great apes, hasunusually stable DNA, too. Researchers have just completed thesequencing (序列) of the entire genome (基因组) of our orange-hairedrelative, and they have found to their surprise that its DNA has changedmuch less dramatically over time than has that of humans orchimpanzees. “The orangutan is very unique,” says Devin Locke, astructural geneticist heading the orangutan sequencing project.The orangutan genome had one other big surprise. Locke andcolleagues sequenced six Sumatran and five Bornean orangutans, whichare classified as different species. The apes have been physically separated for at least 21,000 years—the last time land bridges between the two islands existed—andearlier studies estimated that they became distinct species more than 1 million years ago. But the new analysis, reported online today in Nature, rewrites history: it appears they parted ways just 400,000 years ago. “Most previous studies used small sets of markers and a limited amount of DNA sequence,” says Locke. “The statistical power is so much greater when you have the whole genome available.”The orangutan now joins chimpanzees and humans as the third great ape to have its genome sequenced. “The orangutan genome is a wonderful resource,” says evolutionary geneticist Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. “It will help clarify how each part of human and African ape genomes are related to each other and evolved.”Such insights are already coming in. Orangutans originated some 12 million to 16 million years ago, giving their genomes much more time to evolve than those of humans and chimpanzees, which split into their own lineages（血统）5 million to 6 million years ago. But a comparison of the three genomes shows that humans and chimpanzees lose or gain new genes at twice the rate of orangutans.The reason may have to do with stretches of DNA called retrotransposons. These key drivers of evolution jump around the genome, creating new genes, damaging existing ones, or altering gene regulation. The new data reveal that common retrotransposons known as Alu elements have moved around the orangutan genome much less than they have in the human and chimpanzee genomes. “I don‟t want to say that …Alu retrotransposition events‟ are shut off in orangutans, but they‟ve been covered up,” says Locke.The researchers also discovered that, over time, the structure of orangutan chromosomes（染色体）has changed little, which may be linked to the Alu element finding. Other researchers have suggested that the strong and healthy structural variation in humans and chimps may have stimulated increased intelligence. But Locke notes that orangutans are also highly intelligent. “If orangutans have had very little structural variation, maybe this decouples structural variation from intelligence,” he says.A separate but related study published today in Genome Research reports yet another unexpected finding from a comparison of the three great ape genomes. A team led by Mikkel H. Schierup and Thomas Mailund of Aarhus University in Denmark (both co-authors of the Nature report) discovered that some regions of the human genome more closely resemble the orangutan than the chimpanzee. This reflects the fact that at the time humans split off from a common ancestor with chimps, both species had the same ancestral orangutan DNA. But humans and chimpanzees have evolved separately for millions of years. In the process, chimps for mysterious reasons lost some orangutan DNA that humans kept possession of.More surprises are sure to come as researchers compare the genomes of even more apes. Projects to sequence the other two great apes, gorillas and bonobos, are under way.74.Orangutans from two islands, Sumatran and Bornean, became different species since ______.A. at least 21,000 years agoB. over 1 million years agoC. some 12 million to 16 million years agoD. 400,000 years ago75.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A. Compared with the DNA of orangutan, chimpanzee‟s is less changed over time.B. Only three apes‟ genomes have been sequenced up to now.C. Humans‟ ancestors stepped on their way of evolution 12 to 16 millions years ago.D. Chimpanzees gain new genes faster than orangutans do in evolution.76.The reason of orangutan‟s little change in DNA is that _____.A. this species is not as active in intelligence as humans or chimpanzees.B. the newly identified Alu elements is believed to have played a special roleC. Alu retrotranspositions in orangutan are shut off during the course of evolutionD. orangutan‟s low intelligence fails to stimulate the change of its DNA77.Some region of human genome is more similar to that of orangutan than chimp‟s because _____.A. human and orangutan share the same ancestor, but chimp doesn‟tB. humans and chimpanzees have evolved separately for millions of yearsC. chimps failed to hang on to orangutan DNA for some unknown reason, but human didn‟tD. chimps didn‟t act as actively as humans, resulting in their losing some critical orangutanDNASection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.____________________________________________Technology means different things to different people. A physician might think of technology as a way to produce a new medicine. To a space engineer, it might mean making better rocket engines. Technology is so widespread that it is part of everyone‟s life. Originally, the word technology comes from the Greek word techne, which means “art”. You might think that art means only paintings or sculpture. But the Greeks believed an artist could make useful products from natural materials such as trees, rocks, and plants.What school subjects are related to technology?Though people‟s opinions vary on what groups of technology should be broken down to, you, when in school, may have the question: Why should you study technology? That question is easy to answer. Technology is fun, rewarding, and exciting. It is fun because you get to work with your hands. It is rewarding because you get to see the results of your work. Each day it brings new ideas and new challenges, which make technology exciting. Studying technology will also help you develop your problem-solving skills. You can learn to identify a problem and come up with a solution. You will also find that technology is related to other subjects that you study in school such as:MathematicsScienceSocial studies。

Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to __46__ activities that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the __47__ of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might __48__ a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they __49__ with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern __50__ has freed people from that primitive (原古的) existence.【2013学年第一学期宝山区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

Chances are you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 41 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 42 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 43 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 44 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 45 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.”As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to 46 spinal(脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles:●Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware ofhow your body is 47 in relation to the device.●Take frequent 48 when using any kind of mobile device.●When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable 49angle.For those who 50 can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist –downloading a special app（应用程序）could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.【2013学年第一学期杨浦区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Ever wonder what it takes to be one?Take NASA for example.In order to catch NASA’s eye, would-be astronauts must not only stand out in required skills and pass physical and psychological exams, but also find unique ways to __41__ themselves from the harsh competition.NASA’s requirements for becoming an astronaut have changed over the years. Originally, it __42__ candidates with a military flight background, with at least 1,000 hours spent in command of a jet aircraft. In 1978, however, NASA __43__ its focus to a more varied group of astronauts: scientists and engineers with at least three years of experience in their respective fields.During the years of shuttle missions, everyone had a __44__: some would focus on robotics, others on spacewalks or maintenance. To work on the space station, astronauts must be able to perform all tasks, which encourage __45__ to acquire different experiences. Jeanette Epps, an astronaut, studied aerospace engineering, worked at Ford Motor Company and took a job with the CIA before joining NASA. She says astronauts’ varied backgrounds __46__ to their ability to adapt and learn anything quickly.After ensuring that candidates are U.S. citizens and that they satisfy __47__ education and experience requirements, the selection committee enters a gray area. “We’re not really looking for one thing, just a good mix of things,” said Duane Ross, the manager for astronaut candidate selection and training.To the committee, candidates who take on __48__ outside of the workplace demonstrate curiosity and energy. Many astronauts who don’t have a military background do hold a(n) __49__ piloting license. Some are enthusiastic mountain climbers, scuba divers or skiers. Others are musicians, dancers, or play competitive sports. Choosing to __50__ themselves to different, extreme environments counts as another way to stand out from the crowd.【2013学年第一学期闵行区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

More are likely to follow. In March the 42 of a large-scale, 24-year survey gave one of the clearest pictures yet of the decline of Australian and Asian shorebirds, including the long-distance migrants(候鸟) that are most difficult to 43 . The results of the survey are awful.Every October for more than two decades, teams from the University of New South Wales in Australia counted birds from an airplane flown low over 130,000 square miles of wetlands in the eastern third of the continent. Their 44 showed a steadydecline, beginning in the mid-1980s. By 2006 the number of migratory shorebirds had dropped by 73 percent and the number of Australia’s resident of shorebirds had fallen by 81 percent. “The45 of the decline took us by surprise,”says evolutionary ecologist Silke Nebel of the University of Western Ontario in London, the lead author of the report.The survey 46 that inland wetlands were more important to both resident and migratory birds than had been 47 , and that wetland loss from damming (筑坝) and the diversion(分散) of river water for irrigation was at least in part 48 for the shorebird decline in Australia. But wetlands are becoming smaller in countries all along the major flyway that 49 from eastern Siberia to New Zealand, the study’s authors note, so protecting the 8 million birds that use the corridor 50 will require an international solution.【2013学年第一学期长宁区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors spaced one foot apart, rising at one-foot ___45___ all the way to the top of the atmosphere.

This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.One good reason for giving employees 42 _____ tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 43 _____ to its employees that it cares. The best way to do thisis with concrete 44 _____ in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 45_____. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 46_____ by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 47_____ to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 48_____, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 49_____ benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 50_____ so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.【2013学年第一学期嘉定区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box．Each word can only be used once．Note that there is one word more than you need．A. valueB. shapeC. designedD. understandingE. importantlyF. economistsG. responseH. vastI. connected J. major K. amazinglyThirteen years after the launch of Taobao, China has risen to become the world’s second busiest online marketplace, behind only the United States. This is the kind of statistic that 41 love, but it doesn’t really tell us anything about why so many people like to buy so many things online.Is it because its easy? Is it because of the 42 selection? Is it because we want to feel 43 to others without leaving the house?Taobao was in fact a 44 to ebay’s entrance into the Chinese market in 2003. Jack Ma(马云) knew that he knew China better than the Americans did, and that Taobao could beat ebay at its own game here. He was right, and Jack Ma has helped to 45 the nature of online commerce in China—what it looks like, how it works, and, most 46 , who its users are.T aobao’s aesthetic (美学) is distinctive, and has influenced and inspiredcompetitors in China and around the world.

Researchers who studied television viewing habits in Australia calculated that people who watch for a(n) _____42_____ of six hours a day shorten their life expectancy(预期寿命) by almost five years.They based their calculations on data on the _____43 _____between television viewing and death from the Australian obesity and lifestyle study which involved 11,000 adults aged 25 and over. Applying these findings to the whole population over 25, who are estimated to have watched 9.8 billion hours of TV in 2008, they concluded that it _____44_____ for 286,000 years of life lost —equivalent to 22 minutes for each hour watched. By _____45_____, smoking one cigarette is estimated to shorten life expectancy by 11 minutes — equivalent to half an hour of TV watching.Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the authors from the University of Queensland, say the figures suggest “huge loss of life may be _____46_____ with too much TV viewing.” The UK and other industrialized countries are likely to be simila rly affected “given the typically large amounts of time spent watching TV and the similarities in disease patterns.” The researchers add “If these figures are _____47_____ and shown to reflect a cause and effect relationship, TV viewing is a public health problem comparable in size to established behavioral risk factors.”Researchers from Taiwan University found even those who did as little as 92 minutes’ exercise a week — equivalent to 15 minutes a day for six days a week —reduced their _____48_____ of death by 14 per cent.

Ducks are immune to some 41 diseases found in hens. Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens. In 42 , ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do.Poultry(禽类) keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are unlikely to dig up plants and destroy roots. While both hens and ducks 43 the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage grass beds. Ducks, on the other hand, will search for insects more 44 . Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad, webbed feet of ducks.Like all waterbirds, ducks need 45 to water, and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond. Something this large is not absolutely necessary, however, ducks need only to be able to 46 their heads in the water to keep their nose clean. If a pond is provided, though, it is important to keep baby ducks away from it until they are old enough to put up with the cool temperature of the water.When 47 ducks, one has to consider just how many the land will support. The rule is generally about 100 ducks per acre. If more than this proportion is introduced, there is a risk of pressing the soil, which can lead to 48 conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground.While ducks offer many advantages over hens, they must be given a greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggs are 49 . An adult duck will eat between 170 to 200 grams of food a day. If the ducks live near grass and a pond, they will be able to find for themselves approximately 70% of their daily dietary requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times. Therefore, it is important that they be 50 onenough food, such as grain, every day.【2013学年第一学期金山区高三英语质量调研试卷】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

They included detailed drawings of the human body, plans for engineers to build canals and bridges, and (38) ________(astonish) drawings of machines which were not to be built until hundreds of years later, such as aeroplanes, parachutes(降落伞), submarines(潜水艇) and tanks. Towards the end of his life he (39) ________ (employ) by the King of France to do scientific research, and he did not have a lot of time for painting. In short, he was an extraordinary genius, an example of what has been described as “Renaissance man”: someone interested in (40) ________ and with many different talents.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. deliveryB. alternativeC. enormouslyD. floatingE.analyzed F. processG. determine H. visible I. messy J. disturbingly K.patternsEveryone knows that the Internet haschanged how business operate, governments function and people live. However, a new, less 41 technological trend is just as transformative: “big data.” Big data starts with the fact that there is a lot more information 42 around these days than ever before and it is being put to extraordinary new uses.Consider language translation, for example. When IBM first started to work on machine translation in the 1990s, it just fed a small number of high-quality translation into a computer and programmed itto infer which word in one language is the best 43 for another. Although this 44 revolutionized the task of translation, theresult was far from being perfect. Then, in 2006, Google burst in. Instead of millions of pages of texts, the search giant 45 billions, from corporate websites to documents in every language from the European Union. The result is that its translations are muchbetter than IBM’s were and it covers 65 languages. Large amounts of 46 data defeated small amounts of cleaner data.Another good example of how big data can be 47 helpful isonline shopping. Using data collected from customer shopping habits, today, Amazon can 48 who is most likely to purchase what and when. Details such as your history and wish list help the company gain a glimpse (一瞥) into your interests. Goods will then be dispatched toa logistics center(物流中心) near you and get packed before you even order, meaning that when you do make an online purchase, same-day49 would be possible.With big data, instead of trying to understand exactly why an engine breaks down or why a drug’s side effect disappears, researchers can instead collect and analyze massive quantities ofinformation about such events and everything that is associated with them, looking for 50 that might help predict future occurrences.Big data answers not why but what. Finally, it will mark the moment when the “information society” finally fulfills the promise implied by its name.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.Are we too slow to praise and quick to blame It seems we are.Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, we are somehow 51 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. To make matters worse, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of 52 .It’s strange how chary(吝啬的) we are about praising. Perhapsit’s because few of us know how to accept compliments gracefully.53 , we are embarrassed and shrug off(不予理睬) the words we are really so glad to hear. Because of this 54 reaction, direct compliments are surprisingly difficult to give. That is why some of the most valued pats on the back are those which come to us 55 , in a letter or passed on by a friend. When one thinks of the speed with which spiteful(恶意的) remarks are conveyed, it seems a pitythat there isn’t more effort to pass 56 comments.It’s especially rewarding to give praise in areas where effort generally goes unnoticed or 57 . An artist gets complimented for a glorious picture, a cook for a perfect meal. But do you ever tell your 58manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just rightPraise is particularly appreciated by those doing 59 jobs:gas-station attendants, waitresses － even housewives. Do you ever go into a house and say, “What a tidy room”Hardly anybody does. Shakespeare said, “Our praises are our wages.” Since so often praise is the only 60 a housewife receives, surely she of all people should get her measure.Teachers agree about the value of praise. One teacher writes that instead of drowning students’ c ompositions in critical red ink, the teacher will get far more 61 results by finding one or two things which have been done better than last time, and commenting 62 on them. “I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard,” writes the teacher, “and that he waits hungrily for a brief comment in the margin(空白处) to show him that the teacher is aware of it, too.”To give praise 63 the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment’s effort. It is such a sm all 64 . And yet consider the results it may produce. “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain. So, let’s be 65 to the small excellences around us — and comment on them. We will not only bringjoy into other people’s lives, but also, very often, add happiness into our own.51. A. guilty B. impatient C. fortunateD. reluctant52. A. charity B. criticism C. chemicalD. command53. A. Instead B. Therefore C. MoreoverD. Otherwise54. A. extreme B. immediate C. defensiveD. positive55. A. naturally B. indirectly C. similarlyD. closely56. A. pleasing B. unfair C. interestingD. objective57.

A. achievement B. challenge C. investmentD. substitute65. A. certain B. alert C. resistantD. superiorSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dad,I’m writing to you as I feel it’s been quite a while since we last spoke (two years to be exact, you hung up on me). So how is Germany How old are your other children now What have you been up to this year I finished my A-levels this summer. But enough small talk. On our European road trip in the summer, the journey took us close to your house and I asked Mum and my stepdad if we could pay a visit so that I could see you. Outside your house, I couldn’t bring myself to get out of the car and knock on the door.I’ve tried so ma ny different forms of communication － email,the phone and I also suggested Skype. Yet I still can’t get throughto you.My mum, stepdad and I sat around the table trying to work out why I had felt unable to knock on your door that day. At last it came to me. I think, perhaps subconsciously, I was saving myself the grief of your response.Why can’t your parental obligations stretch to all three of your children, not just your two recent ones In our previous conversations, which ended suddenly, as your older son needed to be put to bed, I’d ask you how he was doing at school, and you’d talk about the weather. No one listening would be able to tell there was any difference between our relationship and one you might have with a neighbour.Forget your excuses – that the flight to visit me is expensive and that you need to look after your other children (I hope you can see the irony(讽刺) in that). While you watch their school plays, don’t you consider that I would have liked you to be there at minePerhaps the reason I didn’t knock on your door was that I just don’t care anymore. I’m exhausted trying to make this work. Maybe a part of me wasn’t actually bothered whether I saw you or not that day —you’ve already lost so much meaning in my life; you a re someone who just sends me a birthday card.This isn’t me being bitter, although I was initially. It’s just a way of telling you how I really feel.Phoebe66. How did Phoebe feel when she was sitting in the car outside her father’s house?A. ExcitedB. PuzzledC. DisappointedD. Embarrassed67. Based on this letter, we can learn that Phoebe’s father_____________.A. lives in the same city with his daughterB. got divorced and left Phoebe and her motherC. has never had any communication with PhoebeD. takes good care of all his children68. What does the “irony” refer to in Paragraph 5A. He ended his conversation with Phoebe just to put his son to bed.B. He lives in a big house but has no money to buy an air ticket.C. He talked with Phoebe, his daughter, as if with a neighbour.D. Phoebe is also his child but he excuses himself from caringabout her.69. Phoebe didn’t knock on her father’s door that day because_____________.A. she was afraid of his dad’s unexpected responses to her visitB. she didn’t want to bother her father’s happy life with his current familyC. she was tired of being the one who make efforts for their relationshipD. she suddenly realized that her father had no meaning in her life(B)William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed thewindThomas Suarez: A 12-year-old appdeveloperAmy O'Toole, Beau Lotto:Science is for everyone, kids includedLauren Hodge, Shree Bose, Naomi Shah：70. The underlined word “harnessed” probably means __________.A. usedB. stoppedC. chasedD. produced71. According to the passage, Thomas Suarez ___________.A. made big money by developing gamesB. learned to develop apps by himselfC. spent all his time on computer gamesD. taught adults to develop video games72. Danny, a 16-year-old boy who is working on a science project andplanning to participate in an online competition. Which of the following will he most probably watch?A. How I harnessed the windB. A 12-year-oldApp DeveloperC. Science for Everyone, Kids IncludedD. Award-winning Teenage Science in Action73. All these TED videos aim to ___________.A. analyze the different ways to successB. promote thelatest scientific inventionsC. introduce the famous teenage speakersD. encouragepassion for science and creativity(C)Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with aliterary bent. She even claimed that “… this focus on STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] subjects sends a messagethat makes her and me uncomfortable: doing a man’s work is more impressive than doing a woman’s.”Like many others, I totally disagree with her position as a scientist. Taking science to age 16 should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education. Furthermore, identifying STEM as a man’s subject leads in part to our serious lack of diversity(多样性) in the scientific workforce. Meanwhile, many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is “woman’s work”.Nov elist Lucy Ellman once wrote, “The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions, even if we don’t find the answers, whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points.” But proving some silly points might save your life, light your home, allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away. Only someone who has never considered how extensive the outputs of science are in our society could write such a “silly” sentence.However, having said that, I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities. I do not see this as an either/or situation but it’s all part of being human. I admire and appreciate those who tryto express things hard to be described in words, but it simply isn’t my strength. I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn’t mean I think the humanities (or indeed the social sciences) are not. Since science costs more to do than arts subjects, more funding should go to science. That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded. Somehow, we are constantly being put in opposition, a divide that is damaging to both scientists and non-scientists.So why are the humanities important to me I would say it is exactly because I am human. I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio. I have been reading EP Thompson’s The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is. Scientists may be capable of dealing with theethics(道德标准) of their work, but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation. Answering the many questions that our developing scientific capabilities throw up requires the input of researchers from many fields.So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts, recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses. It’s time to banthe damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities.74. The writer quotes words from Cristina Odone and Lucy Ellman to show that ________.A. doing a man’s work is more impressiv e than doing a woman’sB. some people may have a narrow understanding of scienceC. the purposes of artists and scientists are totally differentD. a well-rounded education is crucial to the diversity in society75. By saying “I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities”, the writer probably means ________.A. I am not an expert in the work of the humanitiesB. I don’t think the work of the humanities importantC. I don’t want to play down the work of the humanitiesD. I admire and appreciate the work of the humanities76. Why does the writer mention listening to music and reading books in Paragraph 5?A. To explain how extensive the outputs of science are.B. To call on scientists to understand the society and the shape of it.C. To prove that the humanities are important to scientists too.D. To advise scientists to deal with the ethics of their work.77. The purpose of this passage is to ______.A. reveal people’s weakness in expressing complex thoughts in wordsB. reject the idea that science only proves some silly pointsC. illustrate that scientists have strengths and weaknessesD. appeal to stop treating humanities and science as opposites Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Do you find yourself leading groups, or are you naturally more comfortable following others Research published today shows that if you want to be a leader you're better off at the edges of a crowd, and not in the middle of the action.In a series of experiments on crowd behaviour, a research team at the University of Leeds also found that successful leaders display more decisive behaviour, spending less time following others and acting more quickly than others in the group.Lead researcher Jolyon Faria said: “It was interesting to find that the most effective leaders remained on the edges of the group and attempted to le ad from the front. You’d think leaders in the centre of the group should interact more often with others and therefore be more effective but here this wasn’t the case.”The research team asked groups of eight students to walk around continuously in a specified area and remain as a group without speaking or gesturing to one another.One person was asked to move towards a target, while remaining a member of the group, without letting the others know that he or she was leading them to a target. In a second set of experiments, the students were told to follow “the leader”, but not told who the leader was.In the second set of experiments, it was found that those leaders who remained on the edge of the group were able to move their group towards a target much more quickly than the leaders that chose to remain in the centre.“We wanted to find out how people decided who to follow” said Faria. “We found that people were able to identify their leader by what position the leader takes, which helps explain how animals in groups － such as birds and fish － can be led by only a small minority, even when leaders don’t signal their identity.”“Our findings have illustrated a general principle behind group behaviour. This can also be applied to animal groups, something that could help in the management of the natural environment, as well as in the management of the urban environment.”(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78. The decisive behavior successful leaders display in a group is that they ____________.79. According to Jolyon Faria, people tend to have the wrong belief that leaders should ____________ in order to be more effective.80. We can learn from the passage that the fish leaders may lead the whole group by ___________.81. What does “a general principle” refer to in the last paragraph?第II卷（共47分）I.

请写一篇文章阐明你的观点。

你的文章必须包括：●简要介绍两种购物方式的不同之处●你喜欢那种购物方式？为什么？参考：Shopping online vs. shopping in physical storesAs scientific technologies developed faster and faster, our common lives have changed more and more, one of which is our shopping way.We have been shopping in physical stores, where a salesman may introduce many products to you and give you some advice about which one is the best choice, and you can try those clothes or shoes in person, even change another one if you find it not suitable to yourself.However, a new shopping method sprang up --- shopping online. There appear quantities of various stores on the Internet. You just need to click your mouse, and then you can see different kinds of commodities in them, with colorful pictures and detailed descriptions. If you are not clear about something, you can ask the customer service staff for help, who usually very kind and glad to answer your any question. Moreover, you can compare the same kind of products in different stores at the same time, which is able to save your time and avoid embarrassment.But every coin has two sides. Shopping online is not exceptional, so there are some disadvantages. First, you can never be sure whether the product is exactly what you see in the picture or read in the descriptions. What you receive may be much different from what is in your mind, for instance, strange color, wrong size or bad quality. Secondly, the products may be lost in the express delivery.From my perspective, I prefer shopping online, because I am too busy to have time go shopping in physical stores and goods online are usually cheaper. But I always choose the shops which have good reputation.【答案解析】文中包含题干的两个问题即可。

2014学年第一学期徐汇区学习能力诊断卷高三英语试卷2015.1I、听力（略）II. Grammar and VocabularySectionADirections：After reading the passages below， fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Residents of southern California are trying to get used to skyrocketing prices for gasoline. The average price for 87 octane economy gas is $2.22, almost 30 percent higher today than it was 12 months ago. The(25) (low) gas price in the Southland right now is $2.09 a gallon at the Seashell station in Arcadia. The station manager, Everett, said the reason his gas is cheaper than elsewhere is(26) he bought a lot of gas two years ago at(27) (reduce) prices, so he is passing his savings on to his customers.The lines at the Seashell station often run 10 to 20 vehicles long. The police have been here several times (28) cars block traffic on Horsetrail Drive. Everett said, “I tell people in line that theBarco station a block away is only $2.14, (29) they’d rather wait and save 5 cents. It’s OK with me, of course. I don’t mind(30) (make) money.”A young man pumping gas was said(31) (wait) in line for 20 minutes. When asked why he didn’t go a block away where there were no lines, he said, “Every penny counts. When I bought this ’99 Bummer, gas was only $1 a gallon, which was pretty cheap. So, (32) I only get eight miles pe r gallon, I wasn’t paying that much to fill my tank. But today’s prices are killing me. I drive to work, and I drive to the grocery store. That’s it. I used to drive around the neighborhood just to show off my wheels, but I(33) never do that any more.”(B)People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading materialis comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic (34) car washes have. But how do you ex-plain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is" sold out year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by(35) newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year'sattendance(36) (estimate)at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. (34)The festival featured 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answerperiod(37) (follow) each talk. Autographseekers (38) (seek)out more than 150 authors. A foodcourt sold all kinds of popular and ethnic foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. (39) a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by sneaking in their own sandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is their sixth year here now. We love it.” said the husband. “It is just fa ntastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobodyknew it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angeles residents embrace one? (35)One of the festival founders said that it all depends as angelinos are very unpredictable.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Echa word can be only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Primarily a farming community, the Amish was attracted to thefertile farmlands in the eastern United States. The largest concentration of Amish today is in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and(41) important groups are in Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada.The Amish are best known for their simple way of life. They are easily recognized by their (42) Clothing. The men wear wide-brimmed black hats, collarless black coats, and black trousers. These homemade clothes are fastened with (43) and eyes instead of with buttons or zippers. Those who are strict (44) of Amish customs do not wear neckties or belts. In fact, anything which is considered to be a part of modern, worldly life is (45) .the men have beards but ni mustaches. Their long hair is parted in the middle and drawn back over their ears.The women’s clothing is black, (46) they wear white prayer caps. They wear hats and long, high-necked dresses, long black coats, and black shoes and stockings. They wear their hair parted in the middle and tied behind in a bun. An Amish woman wears no jewelry of any kind.The Amish have (47) separated themselves from the modern technological world. They prefer to live according to the(48) of their 17th century European ancestors. Often called the Plain People, the Amish live in simple homes without mirrors, pictures, curtains and carpets. Somehow they manage to get along without radios, telephones, and electric lights. They do not own cars,(49) to travel by horse. The Amish are excellent farmers, yet they refused to buy tractors or other modern farm machinery. They work the land with horse-drawn plows.Because the Amish are largely self-sufficient and fairly(50) from other communities, they have resisted social change.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.The next great land area that man hopes to control is the moon. In size it is nearly (51) to the area of North and South America. However, it presents a hostile (不友好的) environment. Temperatures (52) +120 to -150 degrees Centigrade (摄氏). There is no air, and no water.Today there are (53) scientific speculation (思索) about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the moon surface isstill not (54) . But experts believe that settlement will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary (55) . These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and systems necessary to(56) life brought by the colonizers themselves. Finally, colonies that are ecologically and(57) self-supporting will be established.The principal job of the early settlers will be to stay(58) . They will have to bulid shelters to (59) an atmosphere like that of earth. They will have to plant crops under hugedomes to produce food and (60) and find water sources. After thisis done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial development and to make discoveries important to science.The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human staying alive may make it (61)for certain kinds of manufacturing. Operations that require a vacuum or extreme cold, are an(62) . Precision ball bearing, industrial diamonds, or certain medicines might be produced on the moon.The most immediate interest in the moon, however, is a scientific one, Geologists can explore the history and composition ofthe(63) . Meteorologists will have opportunities to forecast weather on earth. Cosmologists can study the origin of the solar system, Astronomers(天文学家) can use their optical telescopes and radio telescopes(64) of atmospheric and man-made distortions. And perhaps at some distant date the moon can serve as a base from which space explorers can travel to other planets in the earth’s solar system and to worlds(65) .Section BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several quesitons or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Culturally speaking, America might be called a European colony. No other country whose origins lie in Europe has had so sharp an awareness of its distinction and superiority to the parent cultures. Running through American history, and therefore through American literature, is a double consciousness of Old World modes and New World possibilities. As American , the writer has distributed Europe; as writer, he has envied the riches available to his European Counterpart.In the nineteenth century some immigrants came in order to avoid military service in their homeland. But even so, the snowballing process had for most Americans a deep, almost legendary significance.In the legends, Europe was associated with the Past, with British red-coats at Concord, absentee landlords(不在的地主)，dynastic pride, hunger, poverty, oppression. America, by contrast, was the future: plenty, prosperity, freedom. For much of its history America has been a busy, restless land, more interested in innovation than inconservation(保守). Its people have been highly optimistic, settinggreat store by the ability of the individual to overcome obstacles. The individual has had a right to expect success. Optimism and pessimism mix unusuallyin American writing;Mark Twain is an obvious example. Or, the individual tends to set himself up in a dramatic relationship to society.。
