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 new study shows that ___1___(good) your short-term memory, the faster you feel fed up and decide you’ve had enough. The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people g et tired of things ___2___ very different rates. When you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The dif ference, the researchers supposed, might have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates. The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings…like The Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream…or listened and re-listened to a series of three pop songs…or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the participants were asked to rate their experience on a scale of zero to ten. “We found that people with larger capacit ies remembered more about the music or art, which led to them ___3___(get) tired of the music or art more quickly. So remembering more details actually made the participants feel like they’d experienced the music or art more often.” The findings suggest th at marketers ___4___ cope with our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ____5____ into eating less junk food by recalling the experience of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it—it might help them have more fun.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations ___6___ we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views ___7___(challenge) by other members of society.Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication ___8___(become) one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmissionand reception of communications___9___ local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势) by international news.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that ___10___(channel) into millions of homes…..【答案】1. the better2. at3. getting4. could /can5. ourselves6. where7. challenged8. has become9. so that 10. is being channeled【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

句意：我们发现，能力更强的人对音乐或艺术的记忆更多，这导致他们更快地厌倦音乐或艺术。
lead to意为“导致”，to是介词，后面接动名词作宾语。
故该空填动名词getting。
【4题详解】考查情态动词。
句意：研究结果表明，市场营销人员可以通过分散我们的注意力，不让我们完全记住自己的经历，来操纵我们对产品的欲望。
根据下文cope为动词原形可知本空应填情态动词，表示“可以”，故填could/can。
【5题详解】考查反身代词。
句意：我们也可以通过回忆以前吃零食的经历来欺骗我们自己少吃垃圾食品。
trick sb into doing sth“诱使某人做某事”。

2020-2021学年上海市七宝中学高三英语月考试卷及参考答案
2020-2021学年上海市七宝中学高三英语月考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn September, something terrible happened on the west coast ofTasmania,Australia. As many as 380 pilot whales became stranded(搁浅) in shallow water there and later died. This might have beenAustralia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field (地磁场). They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect the whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist fromNew Zealand. “Some will come in and try to help, they get trapped on the beach, then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情). Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1. What do we know about the stranding inAustralia?A. It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia.B. It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C. It is commonly seen in September each year.D. It was the largest stranding event in the world.2. According to Gibney, the pilot whales are the animals that________.A. are kind to each otherB. are easy to lose directionC. are too huge to float in the seaD.are silly to follow the leading whale3. What is the story mainly about?A. How human activity has affected whales.B. What might cause whale strandings.C. How whales find their direction while traveling.D. What scientists are doing to save stranded whales.BAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-programcalled "Clear Plate" on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence. The credit points can be used to buy gifts, such as books, cellphones and red wine, or to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas.The "Clear Plate" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese. Similar campaigns like an "empty plate challenge" are alsoon the horizonin many Chinese universities."Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste," said Liu Jichen. Founder of the start-up that developed the app. The idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that the restaurant owner would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. "Everyone who values food is bound to enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost," Liu mentioned this case, noting that such an idea could potentially be realized online.He formeda team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to assess whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates. To make the AI system smarter，Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1, 000 others, spent half a year collecting over100,000 samples from canteens and restaurants across the country and analyzed the data. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the start-up to cooperate on the project. Through the digitalized, visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce food waste.

What should a runner do to get an award according to the text?A. Make a good start．B. Plan for the race early．C. Run slowly on the starting line．D. Try runningquickly all the time．13. What formed the basis for Aftalion's studying horse race?A The experience and data from previous horse races．B. The benefit of knowing horses' different abilities．C. The success in studying runners' winning strategies．D. The performance of horses on different race distances．14. What does the underlined word“devastating”in the last paragraph mean?A. Boring．B. Damaging．C. Astonishing．D. Puzling．15. What can we infer from the text?A. Runners have the same energy output of muscles．B. Aftalion's findings may help horses to win the race．C. What Jockeys and trainers do makes no sense to horses．D. World champion runners made a contribution to the study．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But for the British-born actor, the bright lights and attraction ofHollywoodwere a long way away. Supported by his secretary mother and stockbroker father, he decided to study drama during high school. His journey to super star began.Before gaining the international recognition he has now, Cavill tried out for roles in the Harry Potter and Twilight series but failed to get either. He would have to keep waiting for his big chance.Determined as ever, Cavill took any acting jobs he could get his hands on and appeared in several low-budget horror movies and TV shows in hopes of getting noticed. It almost worked. In the early 2000s, at just 22 years old, he narrowly missed out on becoming the new James Bond. Finally, in 2007, his hard work paid off. He won a leading role as the first Duke of Suffolk in the period showThe Tudors. The TV show was very popular and helped to raise Cavill's popularity inAmerica.In 2011, Cavil landed his breakout role, playing Superman in the DC Extended Universe. He hasn't looked back and has since starred in many hit films, such asMission: Impossible- Fallout.More recently, he stepped back on to the small screen. Since 2019, he has starred in the popular seriesThe Witcher, adapted from the book series and video games of the same name. In the TV show, Cavill played a brave monster hunter named Geralt of Rivia, which was the perfect role for Cavill because he was a fan of the video games. Cavill also got a chance to play a classic English character — master detective Sherlock Holmes — in 2020'sEnola Holmes.However, Cavill isn't just a good guy on screen. His charity work also makes him a real-life hero. In 2014, he took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge while wearing his full Superman suit to support the ALS Association. Currently, he is an ambassador for the UK's Royal Marines Charity, which supports war veterans (退伍军人). Why does he do it? He love to make people feel good and bring smiles to people' faces. Indeed, Henry Cavill in living proof that you don't always need to wear a cape (斗篷) to act like a hero.4. Why did Cavil act in low-budget film and TV works early in his career?A. He was too polite to refuse.B. He was hoping to get noticed.C. He was encouraged to do so by his parents.D. He was friends with the directors of the projects.5. The role of the monster hunter was the perfect for Cavill because ________ .A. he had experienced hunting monstersB. he had played the same role in a movieC. he knew the writer of the books personallyD. he enjoyed the video games that the show was rooted in6. Which of the following words can best describe Cavill?A. Modest and friendly.B. Determined and kind.C. Talented and faithful.D. Honest and considerate.7. What made Cavill a real-life hero?A.

Wearing a cape to take part in activities.CJeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson have a combined net worth of 400 billion, roughly the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Ireland. And all three men have decided to put vast sums of their wealth into chasing their space travel dreams, creating a modern space race in which ultra — rich men — rather than countries — shoot for the stars.But why the three billionaires choose the crazy plan? Just for the travel dreams? It’s not that simple.As we all know, the space travel is a mirror of comprehensive national strength, whether it’s the cold war or the present. The first space racespannedmultiple presidents and premiers — Kennedy, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Nixon. It made heroes of astronauts and cosmonauts, and it focused national prides. But obviously, this year’s race between the billionaires features none of that national pride or opposing ideas. It’s tax — averse tycoons (大亨) who want to sell high — priced tickets to rich people interested in experiencing weightlessness. Amazon’s Bezos has said he is funding his portion by selling off large chunks of his Amazon stock (股票) — 1 billion or more a year.What are the odds? If anyone is taking bets on how this will end, and who will have the more profitable space tourism business, consider Amazon’s method of making very little profit in order to eat up competition. So, fromthis point of view, what’s hiding behind this crazy race is business. As a method of expand influence, it is not a bad idea.Richard Branson has carried out his plan on July 12, and Jeff Bezos announced that he will start his space travel on July 20. Bezos is getting some good press because he’s taking Wally Funk along for the ride. She’s the pilot now in her 80s who was kept out of space in the 1960s because she’s a woman. This may be a bonus for him. As for Musk, he thinks these two above are not real space trips, he wants a larger move.Who will win the race in the end? Let’s wait and see.8. Which of the following people might be the potential client of the space travel?A. Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.B. Clarkson who doesn’t enjoy taking risks.C. Billy aged 60 with an ample retirement pension.D. Alexander who knows nothing about space travel.9. What stopped Wally Funk flying to space in the 1960s?A. Age.B. Gender.C. Height.D. Disposition.10. What does the author think of the billionaires race?A. Profit — driven.B. Meaningless.C. Foolish.D. Generous.11. What does the underlined word “spanned” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Revolved.B. Turned down.C. Entered.D. Leapt through.DMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients'view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”12. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.13. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.15. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising Business第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She was a powerful and strong minded woman. She wasn't scared to die; she was just worried about her kids and husband.”Edina said her mother lived for being with her family and taking care of people. “When Sanja was working, my mom would still try to make her something to eat, no matter how sick she was, ” Edina added. When Sevala's life was coming to an end, she asked Sanja to take her place at her youngest daughter's nursing school graduation. “That was the only thing she was going to miss.

AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。

上海市七宝中学2021届高三9月月考英语试题一、句子翻译1．学生在英语写作中词不达意的现象值得每位英语教师关注。
(worth)（汉译英）二、完形填空I recently met a Texan couple whose son was still in diapers. They were seeking to get him into a preschool that 5．_____a private preparatory school with a great record for college admissions.The couple were ambivalent (uncertain) about doing this. They were from immigrant and working-class backgrounds, and had thrived in public schools. In theory, they believed that all children should have an equal chance to succeed. But I 6．_____ that if they got their son a spot in the preschool, they’d take it.It’s a familiar story. Psychologists, sociologists and journalists have spent over a decade critiquing （评论；评判）the habits of “helicopter parents” and their school 7．_____. They insist that hyper-parenting backfires —creating a generation of stressed-out kids who can’t 8．_____ alone. Parents themselves alternate between feeling guilty, panicked and ridiculous.But a new research shows that in our unequal era, this kind of parenting brings life-changing benefits. According to the research, when inequality hit a low in the 1970s, there wasn’t that much of a gap between what someone earned with or without a college degree. Strict parenting 9．_____an era of “permissive parenting” —giving children lots of freedom with little oversight.In the 1980s, however, inequality increased sharply in Western countries, especially the United States, and the gap between white- and blue-collar pay widened. Permissive parenting was replaced by helicopter parenting. Middle- and upper-class parents who’d gone to public schools and spent evenings playing kickball in the neighborhood began elbowing their toddlers into fast-track preschools and spending evenings monitoring their homework and driving them to activities.American parents eventually increased their 10．_____caregiving by about 12 hours a week, compared with the 1970s.Not all the changes were rational. But11．_____, the new parenting efforts seemed effective. When the researchers analyzed the 2012 PISA, an academic test of 15-year-olds around the world, along with reports fromthe teenagers and their parents about how they interact, they found that an “intensive parenting style” correlated with higher scores on the test.It’s not enough just to 12．_____ over your kids, however. If you do it as an “authoritarian” parent — defined as someone who 13．_____ directives, expects children to obey and sometimes hits those who don’t —you won’t get the full benefits.The most effective parents, according to the authors, are “authoritative.” They use reasoning to persuade kids to do things that are good for them. Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize 14．_____, problem-solving and independence — skills that will help their offspring in future workplaces that we can’t even imagine yet.And they seem most successful at helping their kids achieve the holy grails(圣杯) of modern parenting: college and postgraduate degrees, which now have a huge financial payoff.The benefits aren’t just 15．_____. In a British study, kids raised by authoritative parents reported better health and higher self-esteem. In the American study, they were less likely to use drugs, smoke or 16．_____ alcohol.So why wouldn’t everyone just become a(n) 17．_____ parent? Religious people, regardless of their income, are more likely to be authoritarian parents who expect obedience and believe in corporal punishment, the authors found. Working-class and poor parents might not have the leisure time to hover or the budget to pay for activities and expensive schools. And they may 18．_____ feel that they need to prepare their children for jobs in which rule-following matters more than debating skills. Those who can afford to helicopter are probably making things even more unequal for the next generation. Since there’s apparently no 19．_____ to how much people will do for their kids, the prognosis for parenting doesn’t look good. Yet another reason to elect people who’ll make America more equal: We grown-ups can finally stop doing homework.5．A．changes into B．feeds into C．turns into D．transforms into6．A．claimed B．doubted C．suspected D．questioned7．A．obsessions B．associations C．observations D．investigations8．A．mention B．action C．transition D．function9．A．objected to B．contributed to C．gave rise to D．gave way to10．A．hands-down B．hands-off C．hands-on D．hands-over11．A．for all the attention B．for the most part C．within defined areas D．under right supervision12．A．look B．hover C．take D．protect13．A．issues B．figures C．employs D．evaluates14．A．reliability B．probability C．regularity D．adaptability15．A．financial B．physical C．academic D．mental16．A．abuse B．refuse C．counter D．command17．A．permissive B．authoritative C．authoritarian D．helicopter18．A．neutrally B．formally C．rightly D．reluctantly19．A．link B．proof C．comparison D．limit三、阅读理解As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations — UNESCO and National Geographic among them — have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientists at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolingustic Introduction to the Speaker and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thang-mi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials — including photographs, films, tape recording, and field notes — which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded — the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project — Turin has started a campaign to make such documents available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved reconnected with speech communities.20．Many scholars are making efforts to __________.A．promote global languages B．rescue disappearing languagesC．search for language communities D．set up language research organizations21．What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Having full records of the languages.B．Writing books on languages teaching.C．Telling stories about language users.D．Living with the native speaker.22．What is Turin’s book based on?A．The cultural studies. B．The documents available at Yale.C．His language research in Bhutan. D．His personal experience in Nepal.23．Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A．Write, sell and donate. B．Record, repair and reward.C．Collect, protect and reconnect. D．Design, experiment and report.The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed.For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal government’s symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. (SEER)Use energy efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.Let a programma ble thermostat “remember for you” to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work.Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixingreflective bricks on your roof.Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up.Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs, which provide bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent less heat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs.Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than £65 per year.Carpool. The average U.S. commuter could save about £260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.24．According to the passage, the thermostat is used to ________.A．make rooms quieter B．control room temperatureC．turn off the air conditioner D．reduce room air pollution25．We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages _________.A．planting leafy trees around your homeB．turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your houseC．keeping your south-facing windows open during the dayD．using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs26．According to the passage, you can save fuel by _______.A．using energy-efficient ceiling fansB．sharing cars with others on workdaysC．turning off everything not in useD．reducing 10% of your car trips every yearEarlier this year a series of papers in The Lancet reported that 85 percent of the $265 billion spent each year on medical research is wasted because too often absolutely nothing happens after initial results of a study are published. No follow-up investigations to replicate(复制) or expand on a discovery. No one uses the findings to build new technologies.The problem is not just what happens after publication — scientists often have trouble choosing the rightquestions and properly designing studies to answer them. Too many studies test too few subjects to arrive at firm conclusions. Researchers publish reports on hundreds of treatments for diseases that work in animal models but not in humans. Drug companies find themselves unable to reproduce promising drug targets published by the best academic institutions. The growing recognition that something has gone wrong in the laboratory has led to calls for, as one might guess, more research on research — attempts to find rules to ensure that peer-reviewed studies are, in fact, valid.It will take a concerted effort by scientists and other stakeholders to fix this problem. We can do so by exploring ways to make scientific investigation more reliable and efficient. These may include collaborative team science, study registration, stronger study designs and statistical tools, and better peer review, along with making scientific data widely available so that others can replicate experiments, therefore building trust in the conclusions of those studies.Reproducing other scientists’ analyses or replicating their results has too often in the past been looked down on with a kind of “me-too” derision(嘲笑) that would waste resources — but often they may help avoid false leads that would have been even more wasteful. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to replication is the inaccessibility of data and results necessary to rerun the analyses that went into the original experiments. Searching for such information can be extremely difficult. Investigators die, move and change jobs; computers crash; online links malfunction. Data are sometimes lost — even, as one researcher claimed when confronted about spurious(伪造的) results, eaten by termites(白蚁).There has definitely been some recent progress. An increasing number of journals, including Nature and Science, have adopted measures such as checklists for study design and reporting while improving statistical review and encouraging access to data. Several funding agencies, meanwhile, have asked that researchers outline their plans for sharing data before they can receive a government grant.But it will take much more to achieve a lasting culture change. Investigators should be rewarded for performing good science rather than just getting statistically significant (“positive”) but nonreplicable results. Revising the present incentive(激励) structure may require changes on the part of journals, funders, universities and other research institutions.27．What is the problem reported in those papers in The Lancet?A．Great achievements in medical research failed to get published.B．Money was wasted on follow-up investigations in medical research.C．Too many new research findings are not put into use after publication.D．Few scientists are devoted to building new technologies for mankind.28．Which of the following situation is most similar to the problem described in paragraph 2?A．A high school decides to cut its art programs due to the lack of fund.B．A patient gets sicker because he does not follow the doctor’s advice.C．A marketing firm tests a website with participants that are not target population.D．A drug company fails to produce the new drug due to no access to the latest data.29．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．Measures are taken to ensure publication of tested results only.B．Scientific experiments must be replicable to be considered valid.C．Experiment replication is unoriginal and not worthwhile.D．Rewards should be given only to those nonreplicable findings.30．The purpose of this article is to ___________.A．argue that scientific research lacks efficiencyB．explain the result of a recent scientific studyC．introduce some recent progress in medical researchD．highlight the possible problems of research studies四、语法填空A new study shows that 31．(good) your short-term memory, the faster you feel fed up and decide you’ve had enough. The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of things 32．very different rates. When you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference, the researchers supposed, might have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates. The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings…like The Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream…or listened and re-listened to a series of three pop songs…or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the participants were asked to rate their experience on a scale of zero to ten. “We found that people with larger capacities remembered more aboutthe music or art, which led to them 33．(get) tired of the music or art more quickly. So remembering more details actually made the participants feel like they’d experienced the music or art more often.” The findings suggest that marketers 34．cope with our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick 35．into eating less junk food by recalling the experience of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it—it might help them have more fun.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations 36．we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views 37．(challenge) by other members of society.Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication 38．(become) one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications 39．local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势) by international news.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that 40．(channel) into millions of homes…..五、选词填空You're trying your best to enjoy an evening cookout, but a constant swarm of mosquitoes follows you from grill to poolside. The threat? A pierce to your skin, leaving behind an itchy red welt and possibly even a serious illness. As you swat madly at the pests, you notice that others seem completely unbothered. Could it be that mosquitoes prefer to bite some people over others?The short answer is yes. Mosquitoes do 41．blood-sucking preferences, say the experts. "One in 10 peopleare highly attractive to mosquitoes," reports Jerry Butler, PhD, professor emeritus at the University of Florida. But it's not dinner they're sucking out of you. Female mosquitoes -- males do not bite people -- need human blood to develop 42．eggs. And apparently, not just anyone's will do.Who Mosquitoes Like Best? Although researchers have yet to 43．what mosquitoes consider an ideal hunk (大块) of human flesh, the hunt is on. "There's a tremendous amount of research being conducted on what compounds and odors people exude that might be attractive to mosquitoes," says Joe Conlon, PhD, technical advisor to the American Mosquito Control Association. With 400 different compounds to examine, it's an extremely laborious process. "Researchers are just beginning to 44．the surface," he says.Scientists do know that genetics 45．for an overwhelming 85% of our susceptibility to mosquito bites. They've also identified certain elements of our body chemistry that, when found in excess on the skin's surface, make mosquitoes swarm closer."People with high 46．of steroids or cholesterol on their skin surface attract mosquitoes," Butler tells WebMD．That doesn't necessarily mean that mosquitoes prey on people with higher overall levels of cholesterol, Butler explains. These people simply may be more efficient at processing cholesterol, the byproducts of which remain on the skin's surface.Mosquitoes also 47．people who produce excess amounts of certain acids, such as uric acid, explains entomologist John Edman, PhD, spokesman for the Entomological Society of America. These substances can trigger mosquitoes' sense of smell, luring them to land on 48．victims.But the process of attraction begins long before the landing. Mosquitoes can smell their dinner from a(n) 49．distance of up to 50 meters, explains Edman. This doesn't bode well for people who emit large quantities of carbon dioxide…..Luckily, there are chemical-based mosquito repellents and the soybean oil-based repellent that can help to keep the bite at 50．.六、六选四According to a new study just published in Psychological Science, any one person seen in a group just seems better looking than when viewed alone. The reason: human eyes average things out, and when it comes to faces, average is usually good.51．Facial analysis studies show the symmetry(对称) is almost always regarded as prettier than asymmetry and the most beautiful faces are the ones on which eyes are no more or less than a certain distance apart, and the forehead, chin, cheeks and other features take up no more than a certain share of the whole. It’s the reason thatmodels may be gorgeous but can prove awfully difficult to tell apart.“Perhaps,” says psychological scientist Drew Walker of the University of California, San Diego, in a statement that accompanied the release of the study, “beautiful people are all alike, but every unattractive person isunattrac tive in their own ways.”To test how that plays out in a group setting, Walker and his UCSD collaborator, psychological scientist Edward Vul, recruited 130 undergraduate students and showed them pictures of 100 different men and women. 52．Other times they were cut out to show just one face at a time. Still other times, the faces were taken out of context and arranged on a simple grid (网格) of either four, nine or 16 faces.Consistently, the researchers found, the sole shots were regarded as less attractive than the faces viewed in a group—whether in a real setting or on the grid. This was true regardless of the gender of the subjects and regardless of whether they would broadly be described as following most definitions of attractiveness or unattractiveness. 53．The explanation for the phenomenon, they believe, is the averaging effect and how it works. 54．“Individuals with complementary features—one person with narrow eyes and one person with wide eyes—would enjoy a greater boost in attractiveness when seen together, as compared to groups composed of individuals who have similar features,” Walker and Vul write.A．Both the gorgeous and non- gorgeous improved by being with other people.B．Sometimes the subjects in the pictures were shown as part of a three-person group.C．It turns out that people don’t even need to be in an actual group to look more attractive.D．It’s no secret that our definition of beauty is defined by a very clear set of physical norms.E．A big nose in the company of a small nose does not look bigger still; rather, both noses move closer to the average．F．While being average-looking might seem like a bad thing, the research suggests that’s not necessarily the case for attractiveness.七、概要写作55.“Parents today want their kids spending time on things that can bring them success, but ironically, we’ve stopped doing one thing that’s actually been a proven predictor of success—and that’s household chores.” says Richard Rende, a developmental psychologist in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and co-author of the forthcoming book “raising Can-Do Kids”. Decades of studies show the benefits of chores--academically, emotionally and professionally.Giving children household chores at an early age helps to build a lasting sense of mastery, responsibility and independence, according to research by Marty Rossmann, professor at the University of Minnesota. In 2002, Dr. Rossmann analyzed data from a longitudinal(纵向的) study that followed 84 children across four periods in their lives--in preschool around ages 10 and 15, and in their mid-20s. She found that young adults who began chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely to have good relationships with family and friends and to achieve academic and early career success and to be self-sufficient, as compared with those who didn’t have chores or who started them as teens.Chores also teach children how to be empathetic and responsive to others’ needs, notes psychologist Richard Weissbourd. In research, his team surveyed 10,000 high-school students and asked them to rank what they treasured more: achievement, happiness or caring for others. Almost 80% chose either achievement or happiness over caring for others. As he points out, however, research suggests that personal happiness comes most reliably not from high achievement b ut from strong relationships. “We’re out of balance,” says Dr. Weissbourd. A good way to start re-adjusting priorities, he suggests, is by learning to be kind and helpful at home.The next time that your child asks to skip chores to do homework, resist the urge to let him or her off the hook. Being slack(懈怠的) about chores when they compete with school sends your child the message that grades and achievement are more important than caring about others. What may seem like small messages in the moment add up to big ones over time.参考答案1-4【解析】考查短语、名词性从句和时态。

On the morning of 19 April 1966, a hooded figure was hiding in the bushes near the start line of the Boston Marathon. When the gun went off to start the race, the mysterious person allowed the faster competitors to pass before joining the main group of runners. It wasn’t long before the others noticed that their new companion was a woman.The infiltrator(渗入者) was 23-year-old graduate Roberta ’Bobbi’ Gibb, an experienced runner who had had her application to run denied on the grounds that the Boston Marathon was a Men’s Division race only. Her rejection letter categorically stated: Women aren’t allowed and furthermore are not physiologically able. Having run up to 30 miles a day nearly every day for the two years leading up to the race, Gibb knew that this was not true. She decided it was time attitudes towards women changed, and bought a bus ticket to Boston. Contrary to her father’s fears that she would get hurt in the race, Gibb’s male counterparts showed her nothing but kindness. Once reporters got wind of her participation, the radio began broadcasting news of her progress. Encouraged by adrenalin and the delighted spectators, Gibb was heading for an under three-hour time for the best part of the course,but then she began running out of steam. Starved of food and water, her legs began to falter, and her feet became almost too painful to run on. If she hadn’t known that dropping out would have set women’s running back 20 or 30 years, she may not have completed the course. However, the cheering crowds on the last leg of the course succeeded in lifting her spirits, and she sprinted to the finish in a very respectable time of just under three hours and 22 minutes.On finishing the race, Gibb was treated as a hero: she was met by the governor of Massachusetts, her parents were interviewed, newspapers ran articles on her and she was invited to a TV game show. More importantly for her, she had broken the stereotype that women didn’t run marathons. She began getting calls from inspired women who had taken up running themselves, and in 1967 a second female runner competed in the Boston Marathon alongside Gibb. The following year there were five female entrants, and by 1972, the rules had been changed to allow women to compete in all US marathons. However, by then, if you had asked anyone who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, they would have given you a completely different name: Kathy Switzer.Twenty-year-old journalist Kathrine Switzer shot to fame after competing against Gibb in the 1967 Boston Marathon. On discovering Switzer had entered the race by pretending to be a man, race director Jock Semple tried to physically remove her, and it was this image of Switzer being attacked while running that stuck in people’s minds. Switzer conti nued running, finishing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon. Moreover, she became a successful media personality. It took Gibb decade of writing letters to magazines, TV stations and book publishers to set the record straight. But in the end, she succeeded in gaining her due recognition and was retroactively awarded first-place medals for her 1966, 1967 and 1968 races.（1）The woman is hiding in the bushes __________.A.to cheer on the best participantsB.so as not to be seen at the starting line.C.in order to watch the race unfoldD.so that she has a better view of the field（2）What ultimately drove Gibb to finish the race?A.She didn’t want her plan to backfire(发生意外).B.She wanted her parents to be proud of her.C.She wasn’t willing to disappoint the cr owd.D.She couldn’t take the shame of failure.（3）What does the writer mean when he describes Gibb’s running time as ’respectable’?A.He thinks she could have done better.B.He considers it a standard to aim at.C.He regards it as a good time.D.He can’t believe she ran so well.（4）What does the reader discover about Gibb in the fourth paragraph?A.Her reputation grew as the years went by.B.She was corrupted by fame.C.She became a household name.D.Her glory was short-lived5.（1）When you find a gift in a geocache, you _________.A.make a note of the gift on the website.B.can borrow the gift, but have to return it.C.are allowed to take the gift if you replace it with something else.D.take a photo of the gift as proof that you have found it（2）The writer thinks that the most enjoyable kind of geocaching is when _______.A.you have to find a public webcam.B.you have to find a series of geocaches.C.you have to find a geocache and then hide it in a different place.D.you simply have to find one geocache.（3）The writer has written the blog mainly to _________.A.suggest that people try geocaching.B.publicise a geocaching event in Sweden.C.warn the reader that geocaching is addictive.D.explain the differences between letterboxing and geocaching.6. The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has raised serious questions about the role of capitalist institutions, particularly corporations in American society． Well before the first protester set foot in Zucotti Park, a heckler（扰乱分子） urged Mitt Romney to tax corporations rather than people． Romney's response﹣﹣ "Corporations are people" stirred a brief but intense controversy． Now thousands of demonstrators have in effect joined the heckler, denouncing（抨击） corporations as "enemies of the people．"Far more important than questions about what corporations are is the question of what attitude we should have toward them． Should we, as corporate public relations statements often suggest, think of them as friends （if we buy and are satisfied with their products）or as family （if we work for them）? Does it make sense to be loyal to a corporation as either a customer or as an employee? More generally, even granted that corporations are not fully persons in the way that individuals are, do they have some important moral standing in our society?My answer to all these questions is no, because corporations have no core dedication to fundamental human values． Such corporations exist as instruments of profit for their shareholders． In fact, left to themselves, they can be serious threats to human values that conflict with the goal of corporate profit． Corporations are a particular threat to truth, a value essential in a democracy, which places a premium on the informed decisions of individual citizens． The corporate threat is most apparent in advertising, which explicitly aims at convincing us to prefer a product regardless of its actual merit． Their defining goal is to generate profit． There are cases when telling the truth is the best means to advance corporate profits． In 1982, when seven people in Chicago died from poisonedTylenol, Johnson & Johnson appealed to its credo, which makes concern for its customers primary corporate goal, and told the entire truth about what had happened． This honesty turned a potential public﹣relations disaster into a triumph． But Johnson & Johnson's impressive corporate credo ends by saying, "Our final responsibility is to our stockholders and must make solid profit． The credo is unclear about what happens when there is a conflict between responsible action and long﹣term profit．"None of this means that corporations are evil or that socialism should replace the free﹣enterprise system． As Michel Foucault said of all power structures, it's not that corporations are bad but that they are dangerous． The self﹣serving corporate speech that fills our media and halls of government is particularly dangerous for our democracy． At least for this reason, the Occupy Wall Street protesters are right to distrust corporations．（1）Mitt Romney most probably believes that________．A.individuals should pay more taxes than corporationsB.corporations should not be forced to pay more taxesC.people should care more about corporations' developmentD.corporations should enjoy all the legal rights as people do．（2）According to Paragraphs 2 and 3， it can be inferred that corporations________．A.should be set as moral examples of the societyB.take employees' faithfulness as part of their goalsC.contribute little to the most essential human valuesD.are actually means by which people share profits．（3）The 1982 event is cited in Paragraph 3 to illustrate that________．A.corporations always make profits at the expense of people's healthB.customers should always keep an eye on the quality of any productC.corporations take economic profit as their priority essentiallyD.corporation profit is always in contradiction with customer interests．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A.Corporations， People and TruthB.Corporations Are Different from PeopleC.Corporations Are UntrustworthyD.The Occupy Wall Street Protest．五、六选四)7. Although books are still popular with teenagers， most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook．（1）_______Instead of publishing whole book at once， they produce very short chapters， which they send oncea week to their readers by text message．（2）_______Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in． Common themes are love， tragedy and betrayal， and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues．Twenty﹣one﹣year﹣old Rin wrote her novel over a six﹣month period in spare moments，often while commuting on the train．（3）_______Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list． Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book withher daughter's name on it（4）_______Chapters have no more than 200 words， and often just 50﹣100words． Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn't space． The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct，conveying a lot in a few words．In 2009， a young Japanese writer called Takatsu， who lives in Canada， began writing the first English language cell phone novel， Secondhand Memories． Takatsu had read anEnglish translation of Rin's story and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language． It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories．（5）_______He now believes that， in English， cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own． Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction， even those who would not normally pick up a book． They could be described as ten novels for the 21st century．A． Books are sometimes regarded as old﹣fashioned and difficult to read．B． In response 10 this trend， some smart young authors have changed the way they write．C． However， as the story progressed， the style gradually evolved into something different．D． She typed out chapters on her phone and uploaded them onto a popular website forcell phone authors．E． No money is made from cell phone novels unless they are published as books．F． The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium．G． Although the idea originated in Japan， cell phone novels have also appeared in therest of world．六、概要写作)8. 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．It's undeniable： Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology iscool． There's the excitement of doing what has never been done before the feeling thatyou're living in the future． And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget， people stare in fascination． They ask you questions． They see you as the holder of powerful， secret knowledge for a little while， until the next big thing comes along． People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness， which theypay in more ways than one． Don't fall into the early adopter trap． Don't join the firstwave of consumers who invest in the latest media﹣hyped hardware： instead， wait and see．To put it frankly， early adoption is a bad investment． First， the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive， they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be． Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can， and they know that there are serious tech﹣lovers who will pay a great deal to be first． Once the revenues from early adopters' purchases are safely in their hands， theycan cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase： selling the product to everyone else． This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about U． S． 200 only eight months after its release． Plus， electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time． Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release， and they will likely keep falling． Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market． Further，electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete （废弃的） so quickly． This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item that does not hold onto its value． The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months．Speaking of becoming obsolete， those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on． Another good reason to resist the early﹣adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically hasdefects that cost a lot in time and frustration． Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters． Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time， don't be among the first users． If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget， you can look forward to a smoother experience or choose a less troublesome product．七、根据所给汉语意思完成句子)9. Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.（1）每个人都应该为慈善出一份力，这无关地位和财富。

Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization 1 for all?According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 2 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 3 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen ines 4 at an average rate of five percent—pared to two percent in developed countries.Those who 5 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 6 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 7 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 8 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World mission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 9 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.10 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 11 their products may soon face fierce petition that could put them out of 12 .

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 new study show that __21__ (good) your short-term memory is, the faster you feel fed up and decide you've had enough. The finding appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think __22__ very different rates. When you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be of those same songs." The difference, the researchers supposed, might have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates. The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings ... like The Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Scream ... or listened and re-listened to a series of three pop songs ... or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the participants were asked to rate their experience on a scale of zero to ten. "We found that people with larger capacities remembered more about the music or art, which led to them __23__ (get) tired of music or art more quickly. So remembering more details actually made the participants feel like they'd experienced the music or art more often." The findings suggest that marketers __24__ cope with our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences.We could also trick __25__ into eating less junk food by recalling the experience of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it -- it might help them have more fun.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person - to - person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations __26__ we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views __27__ (challenge) by other members of society.Face - to - face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during that last two hundred years the art of mass communication __28__ (become) one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications __29__ __29__ local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed（失去优势）by international news.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that __30__ (channel) into millions of homes ...VocabularyDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.。
