Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.milestone: the moment that complex eukaryotic(真核的) life appeared on Earth.Eukaryotes(真核生物) have large cells with complex (34) structures. While the first eukaryotic organisms were all single-celled, they gave (35) to all multicellular life, including fungi, plants and animals.Leiming Yin at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology in China and his colleagues found the fossils in a set of rocks called the Hutuo Group in the Wutai mountains. Previous studies have shown that the rocks were (36) down between 2.15 and 1.95 billion years ago.Experts gave the fossils a cautious (37) .It is reasonable that they are eukaryotes, says Malgorzata Moczydtowska-Vidal at Uppsala University in Sweden. “I could go for them being eukaryotic,” says Anette Hogstrom at the ArcticUniversity of Norway.However, the (38) is solely based on the shapes of the fossils, says Yuangao Qu at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Sanya.“If more geochemical data could be obtained, it would be more (39) ."If confirmed to be eukaryotes, the fossils are arguably the oldest known. Previously the oldest (40) eukaryotes were around 1.5 billion years old.Some researchers have claimed to have found (41) older eukaryotes: one 2017 study reported fungi, which are eukaryotes, in rocks 2.4 billion years old. However, these older microfossils are rare and poorly (42) , and it isn't clear that they are really eukaryotes, says Hogstrom. They could be bacteria that look superficially like fungi, for instance. The only certain thing is that these microbes (43) in a marine environment with relatively high oxygen levels in the surface layers.III.Reading Comprehension (47’)Section A (15’)Directions: 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.Raise a Resilient KidLife is unpredictable but resilience gives us the ability to thrive in both good times and difficult ones. It means being able to carry on when faced with emotional or physical challenges and (44) to changing circumstances. (45) , resilience is not a trait you’re born either with or without. It is a skill set you can help your kids learn so they can use it for the rest of their lives.1.Embrace second, third, and last placeNo one is the best at everything or needs to be. "When you learn what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, that’s a major step to thriving in the world," says Kenneth R. Ginsburg, M.D., the codirector of the Center for Parent and Teen Com munication at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the (46) of books including Building Resilience in Children and Teens. The best way to help kids with that lesson: “Let them explore and even (47) sometimes,” says Katherine Rosenblum, Ph.D., a clinical and developmental psychologist at the University of Michigan. The key is to (48) the effort it takes along the way so they’ll see the inherent value of hard work (49) the prize at the end. “It’s not about celebrating successes or academic achievements—we’re talking about celebrating the (50) we want our kids to have and the way we want them to behave,” Dr. Ginsburg says. Praise your child for trying out for the school play before you know the results; show support for baseball practice, not just games. 2.Let kids process (51) feelingsIt’s hard to see your child upset when he or she makes a mistake at a recital or a sports game or has a conflict with a peer. (52) , experiencing and working through tough emotions helps kids develop the ability to tolerate them down the road. Your support is essential. Let kids feel sad, angry, and disappointed sometimes, says Dayana Jimenez, Psy. D., a New York City-based clinical psychologist who (53) in working with children. If they start learning to manage those feelings in little bouts along the way, they’ll be better equipped to (54) the stress of bigger disappointments later.3.Encourage kids to help othersIn the (55) times, resilience might require reaching out to another person and asking for a helping hand. Developing social skills early is (56) _ to being able to ask for the help we will all need at some point. Dr. Ginsburg says. By (57) and helping others, kids learn how good it feels to be on the giving end; then, when they’re in a position to be on the receiving end, they won’t feel (58) to ask.44. A. adopt B. accustom C. adapt D. alter45. A. Fortunately B. Surprisingly C. Embarrassingly D. Consequently46. A. editor B. author C. composer D. publisher47. A. escape B. suffer C. greet D. fail48.

A. sorry B. ashamed C. regretful D. delightedSection B (32’)Directions: 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)Thousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Pro tection Act (COPPA), according to a new large•scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's data collection efforts. “This is a market failure,” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”The potential violations were abundant and came in several forms, according to the study. More than 1,000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software whose terms explicitly forbid their use for children's apps. The researchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always use standard security measures to transmit sensitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data security measures laid out by COPPA.Some of the apps in question included Disney's “Where's My Water?”, Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The fi ndings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as COPPA compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual viola tions. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law,” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and use policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we ar e compliant with protection laws,” the company said.Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.Although Google stated that “We are taking the researcher's report very seriously and looking into their findings”, critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data tracking technology. “Google has basically looked the other way while it was abl e to generate revenues off of children's apps,” said Jeffrey Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy. “The new alarming report is further evidence that Google is thumbing_its_nose_at the only federal online privacy law that we have.”59.Which one of the following statements is wrong according to the second paragraph?A.The potential violations came in the same form.B.The quantity of the potential violations of COPPA was very large.C.Many children’s apps use tracking software to collect private information.D.Some children’s apps fail to use standard data security measures laid out by COPPA.60.How did companies respond to the accusation of violating COPPA?A.Disney claimed to strictly obey privacy laws.B.Gameloft questioned the validity of the study.C.Duolingo planned to adopt strict data collection policies.D.Google admitted to the charge and promised to do more.61.What does the underlined phrase “thumbing its nose at” probably mean?A.observing.B. disrespecting.C. prohibiting.D. introducing.62.The purpose of the passage is to .A.charge app companies with the violation of COPPArm readers of different ways to violate child privacy lawsC.illustrate the growing criticism of app's data collection functionD.highlight the urgency of strengthening enforcement of COPPA(B)When Brody, a 4-year-old Connecticut boy, was asked what wish he wanted to come true, his only dream was that he could play outside.Brody was born premature at 27 weeks, which caused him to overheat and burn easily. That means he can't spend any time outside and he'll get burn blisters (水疱) on his face even when he is driven to the hospital. Besides, there are a lot of things he can't do. He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago. Brody can't eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him. “I can't even count the number of surgeries he's had since he was born,” Brody's mother said. “He's spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut, an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, heard about Brody's request to play outside, they immediately jumped into action. “It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.” said Debbie Artinian, the manager of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brody's home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option. But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays. Luckily, Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make thetent. Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he is not able to go into water because of his backpack. So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids’ pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like he's out at the beach.Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door and I saw his face, it was just everything,” said Artinian. “Now when Brody says ‘Can I go out and play?’, his mom can say, “Yes.” “Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time "outside” i n the tent.It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could.63.What can we learn about Brody?A.He can't communicate with others.B. He can't stand on his feet.C. He can't be given surgeries any more.D. He can't be exposed to sunlight.64.Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream wasA.inspiring and heart-warmingB. simple but incredibleC. challenging but worthwhileD. difficult and unachievable65.Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?A.To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.B.To prove that the design company was responsible.C.To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.D.To emphasize that the skill in building the tent was the latest.66.What does the story mainly tell us?A.One good turn deserves another.B. Tough life experience may result in success.C.A helping hand makes a difference.D. All things are difficult before they are easy.(C)The year 2018 will mark the 100th anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young, healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines which offer immunity(免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an internationaleffort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.67.What do we know about the influenza in 1918?A.It swept across the whole Europe.B. It killed the largest number of people.C. No one survived the first few days.D. It struck only young and healthy people.68.Why is influenza difficult to protect against?A.It spreads too rapidly.B. It is quite easy to catch.C. It’s hard to judge the form of virus.D. No vaccine is available.69.What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N1 in 2009?A.The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.B. It was the most serious in recent years.C. It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.D. New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.70.What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?A.The development is quite costly.B. It can protect against all forms of flu.C. It will be used all over the world.D. It will soon come into use in 2019.(D)Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate."The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症)(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades."This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success, " said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops. "71.What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A.The contributors to children's early attention.B.The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.C.The predictors of children's academic success.D.The determinants of children's development of social skills.72.What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A.Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B.Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.C.Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D.There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.73.What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A.They care less about grades.B. They are teachers' favorites.C. They are easy to get on with.D. They do better academically.74.What can we conclude from the Duke study?A.Children's success is related to their learning environment.B.School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C.Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D.An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.第II 卷(60’)Section A (20’)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage 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)You may think tai chi is only for the senior set, especially if you’ve seen groups of retirees in the park with their arms and legs (1) (move) artfully and unhurriedly. But the martial art is becoming popular among younger adults too. “We call our students seniors in training, (2) the more you do it, the more it will prepare you as you age" says David Goldberg, leader of the Tri-State Branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society. You see people moving slowly. But it's actually not slow at all; there’s so much that goes on in the body and mi nd.” Taoist tai chi is a modified, health-focused form; it adheres to the belief (3) people cannot be steady on their feet without first being balanced internally. Here, Goldberg explains how to achieve both.What is tai chi?Tai chi is a Chinese martial art (4) (compose) of a series of movements. There are several different styles, and within them (5) (be) several forms. Some martial arts are only about aggression—you might, say, learn how to hurt a mugger or break a board. Taoist tai chi is also about spirituality, community, and (6) happens on the inside.How does tai chi improve balance?(7) we get older, we start to stiffen up. When you get up in the morning and hurt, you stop moving. Immobility only causes more immobility. Tai chi helps you keep moving. Some seniors even say that since doing tai chi, they have stopped falling down after they trip.Who can benefit from tai chi?Anyone (8) , and everyone is going to get something different from it—physically, mentally, and spiritually. You can be in any level of physical shape to do it, but it’ll change (9) you walk up and down stairs, get out of a chair, walk down the street. Because you can do it standing up or (10) (support), even people who are in wheelchairs or use walkers can do tai chi and get the same whole-body effect.(B)It’s the award no one wanted to win: 2019 was the second-hottest year on record, government scientists (11) (confirm).That’s according to two separate analyses: one conducted by NASA and one by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Each study compared 2019 Earth temperature data with scientists' historical records, (12) began in 1880. Of those 140 years, only 2016 was warmer than 2019.

"Every decade (16) the 1960s clearly has been warmer than the one before.”According to NOAA's temperature report, 2019 was also the 43rd year in a row (17) saw above-average global land and ocean temperatures. That analysis, like the similar (18) conducted by NASA, is based on data (19) (gather) by more than 20,000 stations around the world.“We crossed over into more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit (over 1.1 degrees Celsius) warming territory in 2015 and we are unlikely to go back,” Schmidt said in the statement. “This shows that what (20) (happen) is persistent, not a fluke due to some weather phenomenon.

The way we tell stories has naturally changed since Aristotle defined the rules of tragedy about 2,500 years ago. According to him, the role of storytelling is to imitate life and make us feel emotions. And that’s exactly what storytelling as we know it has done very well since then. But there is an aspect of life___1___storytelling could never really reproduce. It is the notion of choices.

2019-2020学年复旦大学附属中学高三英语下学期期中考试试题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AFor some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look aftera dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.A. illegal trade of dogsB. less dog farmingC. high prices of dogsD. online sale of dogs2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fit in withB. Go in forC. Make up for.D. End up with3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.BCalifornia's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene(干预)if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees (针叶树)produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.4. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.5. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.6. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.7. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.CMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会) will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.8. This passage is probably taken from______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper9. It seems that the flood happened just because ______.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time10.From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the floodA. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is destroyedC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Rescue Team ArrivedDPeople saved a 20-foot orca (虎鲸) that was stuck between rocks on an Alaskan shore by continuously pouring water over it and protecting it from birds who circled above the defenseless whale.The whale was ultimately saved after a six-hour, labor-intensive life-saving operation. Someone spotted the large whale on the Prince of Wales Island near the coast of British Columbia on the morning of July 29th. The Coast Guard was called around 9 a.m. local time. Chance Strickland, the captain of a private yacht in Alaska, and his crew anchored and began life-saving action that were videoed by Aroon Melane and posted on the Internet.Strickland could hear the orca calling out to killer whales swimming in the area. People on other boats stopped with water and buckets to pour water over the animal. “There were tears coming out of its eyes,” Mr. Strickland told the local newspaper. “It was pretty sad.”The group of people formed a chain that passed buckets of seawater back and forth and poured the water on the orca, which seemed to liven it up. It made a noise and raised its tail when it got water.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was called in, which can be seen on the video using a machine to spray amist of seawater on the orca, which doubled as a way to keep the whale cool and scare the large group of birds that were hoping to feast on the beast.Melane said in her video that the orca was stranded (搁浅) for about six hours until the tide came in andswept it back into the ocean. The group efforts of Strickland’s crew and the NOAA saved the 13-year-old killer whale.12. Why did birds circle above the orca?A. They were eager to eat it.B. They wished to protect it.C. They were attracted by the people.D. They wanted to find a place to rest.13. What did Strickland do immediately after finding the whale?A. Posted pictures online.B. Called friends for help.C.

To call out to its fellow whales.D. To show its power and sadness.A. Killer Whale Got SavedB. The Orca Inspired KindnessC. Combined Efforts WantedD. Animals and Humans United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。

And I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees (被提名者)or anyone in this room (21) we share the same love, the love of film.But I think the greatest gift it’s given me, and many of us in this room, (22) (be) the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless. And this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life. I don’t know what I’d be (23) it.I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the (24) (distress) issues that we are facing collectively. I think at times we're made (25) (feel), that we champion different causes. But for me, I see commonality. I think, (26) we're talking about gender inequality or racism or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Art occurs in many forms: music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, cinema, and literature, among others. Works of art can make people feel moved, even to the 31 of tears. In the case of Stendhal syndrome, however, this feeling is so 32 that a person can experience a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sweating, or fainting. It may even require hospitalization. In the Italian city of Florence, numerous visitors viewing the 33 Renaissance art there haveexperienced this and have required medical 34 . Though not professionally recognized, this condition— now 35 to as Stendhal syndrome —does exist.While great art is found in every civilization, Florence has been especially 36 . A small city with a historical center, it is internationally admired for its amazing _ 37 of Renaissance art. Florence in the 15th and 16th centuries attracted the talent of many geniuses: artists, scientists, and authors were welcomed here. Some of the greatest Western works of art can be found in Florence, such as the statue of David by Michelangelo, The Birth of Venus by Botticelli, and the frescoes(壁画)by Giotto in the Basilica of Santa Croce. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci left works here. Galileo Galilei and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried here.The syndrome is named after Stendhal, a French author who visited Florence in 1817. He described his experience of being fascinated by the historic and artistic power of the city in one ofhis books. Though the term Stendhal syndrome was not 38 until 1979 by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini, the illness had already had a long history. Patients usually recover within days of their attacks without any 39 drug other than rest and quiet. For them,the 40 of viewing the power and beauty of Florence is a brief trip to a hospital.III.Reading Comprehension(45%)Section A(15%)Directions: 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.If you examine the birth certificate of every soccer per in the last World Cup tournament, youwill most likely find the excellent players were born in the earlier months of the year. If you then examine the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup, you will find this phenomenon even more 41 .What might account for this strange phenomenon? Some guess a certain astrological sign (星座) 42 superior soccer skills; others maintain that winter-born babies have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina (耐力). But Anderson Ericsson, a 58-year-old professorwho is called the expert on experts, believes in neither. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved 43 training a person to hear and repeat a random series of numbers. “With the fi rst subject, after 20 hours of training, his digital span rose to 20”, Ericsson recalls, “and after about200 hours of training he could repeat up to 80 numbers.”This success, coupled with later research showing memory itself is not 44 determined,led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is a cognitive exercise, which means whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are45 by how well each person encodes the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as 46 practice.It involves more than simply repeating a task —playing a C-minor scale 100 times, 47 , orhitting tennis serves until your shoulder pops out of its socket. 48 , it involves stepping outside your comfort zone, setting specific and well-defined goals, focusing on 49 areas of expertise, obtaining immediate feedback from professionals and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying high achievers in a wide range of50 , including soccer, golf, chess, piano playing and darts. They gather all the data they canand make a rather shocking statement: the trait we commonly call talent is highly 51 . And yes, expert performers are nearly always made.Ericsson’s formula seems appealing to many tiger parents: “practice makes perfect”is naturally 52 to genetic determination. By 53 innate ability as insignificant, many are confident they can make a concert-level pianist or an Olympic figure skater of their kids as long as they push them hard enough. Ericsson, 54 , believes what parents should learn from the science of expertise is not the effect of logging thousands of hours, but how to get kids to 55 the importance and challenge of effective practice.41. A. understandable B. misleading C. appealing D. noticeable42. A. promises B. improves C. compromises D. masters43. A. numbers B. subjects C. memory D. practice44. A. physically B. genetically C. fundamentally D. psychologically45. A. overshadowed B. demonstrated C. strengthened D. produced46. A. enormous B. deliberate C. desperate D. persistent47.

A. dismissing B. lacking C. recognizing D. highlighting54. A. likewise B. therefore C. besides D. however55. A. study B. practice C. reflect D. embraceSection B(22%)Directions: 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 theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ALast July, Angela Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmartshopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her nails. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫), was turned away. The salon (which is not owned by Walmart), she says, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly do the job given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody,” Harr is told ABC News, “She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?”Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” Having found a table for two, Harris gently took Peter’s hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.“I was a little nervous and was shaking because I didn’t want to mess her nails up,” Harris admitted. “I told her she’s a blessing to anybody, not just me. She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I ha ve.”Watching it all with amazement and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl’s day!”Peters, who runs a poetry website, harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong, we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that those with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”56.Why was Peters declined when she wanted to have her nails painted?A.She insisted on sitting in a wheelchair.B.She was not a regular customer of the salon.C.Her hands shook involuntarily due to disability.D.There was no need for her to have nails painted.57.It can be inferred from “a kindred spirit” in Paragraph 2 that .A.Peters was in high spirits just like others around her.B.Peters was approached with special attention and care.C.Peters was more tolerant of the denial than normal people.D.Peters was no different from the people around her.58.In Paragraph 4, Harris referred to Angela Peters as “a blessing” because.A.Peters deserved to be happy and be treated kindly.B.Harris was reminded why she should be grateful.C.Harris felt obliged to offer her a hand on a voluntary basisD.Peters got her nails done despite the previous rejection.59.What may well be Angela Peters’ guiding principle in life?A.Beauty is about having a pretty mind, a pretty soul, as well as pretty poetry.B.Forgive others who have wronged us, and we are likely to enjoy our life more.C.Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.D.Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.BGuaranteed!

ReadingC. SpeakingD. WritingCFinancial regulations in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing. The main purpose of this “clawback” rule is to hold bankers responsible for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution. Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations.“Short-termism” or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies,says the Bank of England’s top economist, Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like “Children who pick the strawberries out of their pudding to eat them at once” rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.The average time for holding a stock in both the United States and Britain, he notes, has dropped from seven years to seven months in recent decades. Transient(短期的) investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hold back a firm’s efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty. This has been called “quarterly capitalism”.In addition, new digital technologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities( 股票), quicker use of information, and thus shortens attention spans in financial markets. “There seems to be an advantage of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term investing,” said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in speech this week.In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delay performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year, slightly helping reduce “short-termism.” In its latest survey of CEO pay, The Wall Street Journal finds that “a substantial part” of executive pay is now tied to performance.Much more could be done to encourage “long-termism,” such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure(披露) of stock acquisitions. In France, shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes earn more voting rights in a company.Within companies, the right compensation design can provide motivation for executives to think beyond their own time at the company and on behalf of all shareholders.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.It may be impersonal.B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily becomedisengaging.C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.D.It may harm your mental health.E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.Possible Limitations of Online LearningIf eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:1. It may be a "solo" act.It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates.Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 672. 68However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.3.It requires self-discipline.If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 694.Possible lack of control.However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 70 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got al l that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.IV.Summary Writing(10%)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.Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate( 天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.After their attempt to test it in bind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees weretrained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile( 触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.V.Translation(15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.这公司推广的新电子设备无法满足本地学生的需要。
