Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Don't abandon the written WordWay back in 2012, Kyle Wiens. CEO of IFIX wrote in a blog post for Harvard Business Review that he wouldn't hire anyone who used poor grammar. In fact, he ____31____ all applicants to take a grammar test before moving forward.According to Wiens, he’s found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something ____32____ unrelated to writing ―like stocking shelves or labeling parts. What's more, he believes that grammar skills indicate several other valuable ____33____, including learning ability, professional credibility (信用) and attention to detail. Another CEO named Brad Hoover noted that good grammar is a predictor of professional success.Honestly ask yourself whether you'd hire someone with a poorly written resume. Will this person be able to deliver on your business plan? How ____34____ will they be able to communicate your goals and expectations? How likely is it that they will be able to successfully ____35____ with others and build your brand? In short, if you want to succeed ―as a boss or an employee ―good grammar is ____36____.“Great leaders can understand how to use it well in context,” wrote Kevin Daum in an article. As a leader, you must be able to manage, organize, ____37____ and support your team. Strong communication skill both written and verbal, allow you to accomplish that. If you sent an employee poorly written instructions, how probable is it that you'll both be ____38____ in the outcome and each other?Writing, specifically by hand has numerous ____39____ for your health and well-being. Researchers have also found that handwriting, in particular the forming of letters, is the key to not only ____40____ your memory but also forming new ideas and learning.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A study from Switzerland’s Universitéde Genève(UNIGE) looked to answer the question of which came first: a decrease in physical activity or cognitive (认知的) decline?“Interrelationships have been ____ 41____ between these two factors, particularly in terms of memory but also regarding the growth and survival of new neurons (神经元).” said Boris Cheval, a researcher at UNIGE’S Swiss Centre for Affective Sciences (CISA) in a press release. “But we have never yet ____42____ tested which comes first: Does physical activity prevent a decline in cognitive skills or ____43____ ? That’s what we wanted to ____44____ .”Earlier studies have considered that physical activity ____45____ cognitive decline. But according to Cheval, recent studies may ____46____ that past research has “only told half the story… since those recent studies demonstrate that our brain is ____47____ when it comes to engaging in physical activity.”Researchers at UNIGE tested the two possible ____48____ by using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a socioeconomic database covering more than 25 countries across the continent.Over the course of 12 years, 105, 206 adults ____49____ in age from 50 to go were tested every two years on their cognitive abilities and their physical activity.Researchers ____50____ cognitive abilities with a verbal fluency test that saw participants name as many animals as they could in 60 seconds. They also tested cognitive abilities with a ____51____ test where they memorized 10 wordsbefore reciting them. Physical activity was measured using a scale from 1 to 4. A 1 indicated participants “never”____52____ physical activity while a 4 meant they were physically ____53____ “more than once a week”.The study found that the ____54____ of what past studies concluded was true ―cognitive abilities mostly influence physical activity, not the other way around.“This study backs up our theory that the brain has to make a real effor t to get out of a sitting lifestyle and that by ____55____ cognitive capabilities, physical activity will follow,” Cheval said.41.

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)“Runners, to your mark, Get set…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking, “Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the spectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down.I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I’m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace.56.What is special to the author about the race?A. The weather condition was good for runners.B. He was familiar with the home course.C. He took pride in competitors from other schools.D. His parents came to support him as usual.57.The underlined word “agony” (paragraph 4) most probably means .A. sufferingB. comfortC. reliefD. contest58.What result of the race can be concluded about the author from the passage?A. He left everyone behind and took the first place.B. He took the lead first and disappeared among trees.C. He won the race under the pressure of his coach.D. He finished the race but failed to reach his record.59.What’s the author’s reflection on the race?A. It is parents’ encouragement that leads to the result.B. It’s a pleasure to live up to your fans’ expectations.C. It’s important to pace yourself with no pride.D. It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard to finish tasks, collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.So here’s how to get stuff done and enjoy yourself at the same time.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’list.” It’s a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinneringredients and go to a job each day that affords you the life you have2.Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges, like “Dentist” and “Report,” add some verbsand result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!” or “Complete report and let outyour breath.” Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you.3. Trust there’s timeHave you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? Like whenyou’re late for work: You can’t find your jeans, you hurt your toe on the bed byaccident and you misplace your phone as you head down the elevator.When we operate from a place of calm, stuff happens faster. We find what we need. We don’t burn thetoast.It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and settinga simple intention for the day (not reaching straight for Instagram and email).4.Ask yourself thisHow are you spending your days, your life? Are you having enough fun? Can your got-to-dolist be a get-to-do list with some good moods dancing on the page and an air of “I got time!” attached to it?Yes, it probably can. Now, what’s first?60.Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”?A. Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B. Change “Dentist” into“Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C. Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines.D. Keep asking yourself questions with the air of “I got time!”61.It can be concluded that the key to getting stuff done and enjoying yourself at the same time is __________.A. a state of mindB. a get-to-do list.C. a memory urgeD. a place of calm62.What’s the writing purpose of this passage?A. To find out what to do first every day.B. To imagine the good feeling of tasks.C. To explain the importance of lifestyle.D. To discover how to enjoy daily life.(C)Upon reflection of the ideal social moral code, within one sentence, it would be: be constructive, not destructive. Though “be constructive, not destructive” sounds sensible, there are many nuances (slight differences). Sometimes it is difficult to determine if an act is exactly constructive or destructive.We can decide if something is constructive or destructive based on degree, for instance. Say your preschool son is acting up and broke a glass vase, even after you told him to stop grabbing and playing with it several times. You get a thought in your mind to spank him to give a punishment for his naughty action. However, you start to feel confused about whether this would be constructive or destructive. It might show him that not listening to you and breaking things is not welcome, but on the other hand, spanking him is an act of aggression that will hurt him physically and perhaps teach him to use force in situations later in life. There is no exact wrong or right in these moments. However, through your own reasoning, you can decide to what degree it would be beneficial or harmful to him and the situation at hand. Personally, I would not spank my son, as I think it does more destruction than construction. But, that is just me.Another nuance to consider is the definition we give to construction and destruction. For example, for some people, construction can never involve violence, while for others, it could even be an essential part. Take the example of going back in time and killing Hitler. Killing someone is definitely termed a destructive act. However, in light of the circumstances, I would assume that the majority of people would agree that killing Hitler at the height of his power if they had the chance would be seen as a constructive, thus positive act. Therefore, our definitions often determine our values and how we behave upon those principles.Additionally, construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others. Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area. Yes, homes for humans are made, but also the habitat for countless animals is being destroyed, or at least altered to an extreme. Construction, if it is true, it should be beneficial to all parties included. That is a tall order, though. Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms—and perhaps plants, insects, and who knows what else. Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment. Plus, what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority. Is there a way to determine which side is correct? It is almost impossible. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct, or more appropriate. There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive, but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.Though I consider “Be constructive, not destructive” the most solid one-sentence social moral code, it is not withoutits nuances and problems. For instance, the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive, definitions of being constructive and destructive, and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances. These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes. However, I cannot imaginea better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one’s life in a social context.63.From the author’s view whether to punish a kid’s wrong doing or not depends on what extent.A. it would bring him benefits or harmsB. he would modify his destructive behaviorC. his act is constructive or destructiveD. his destructive result might bring about64.The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to show that .A. killing someone is definitely termed a destructive actB. the majority of people would agree to kill HitlerC. killing Hitler is seen as a constructive and positive actD. definitions of social code decide our values and principles65.What does the underlined sentence (paragraph 4) imply?A. Construction and destruction can advance social developments.B. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others.C. What a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive.D. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct.66.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Wrong or Right of Social Moral CodeB. Judgment of Construction or DestructionC. Ideal Social Moral CodeD. How to Live One’s Life in a Social ContextSection CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.st.fm allows users to listen to music for free, as well as buy tracks.B.The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource for music lovers.C.There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobby.D.If you want to use Last.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are moresuitable for this purposeE.This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts.F.This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers.A Useful Tool for Music LoversWith the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. (67) ___________________.One such website is Last.fm: a mix of a social network and an Internet-radio that tracks down the music its usersservices. The design of Last.fm gives a welcoming impression, though some might find it too simple. The site is displayed in red tones, with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and, despite the quantity of information, is easy to understand and navigate. Users can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves, all kinds of badges, diagrams, tag clouds, and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录), which means tracking down the music one had been listening to. (69) ___________________. With its aid, Last.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis, the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre, including new ones, so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests.(70) ___________________. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it. The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the USA, Germany, and Great Britain, while in other countries, users can only listen to short introductory samples. And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned before can listen to one track online up to five times a day. Besides, the website had recently changed its policy towards monetization and reduced the number of free services. Last.fm also works as a kind of musical Wikipedia, providing users with biographies of bands, or actual musicians. There is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource, presenting information about themselves and involving fans.71.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. We take these three elements and make a combination. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has (even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses), the feeling and identity of the self beyond age (especially experienced as we grow older), and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation for the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells, we remain essentially the same personality. This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. According to Scientific American: Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides on e’s personality, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are essentially.Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very, very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition, our understanding of reality is vastly different from individual to individual. According to Psychology Today, “While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious. The problem of the soul lies exactly here, in understanding the nature of the self, the “I” in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically. However, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly, but they are very difficult to deny.V.Translation。

Not only is the American rock group his favorite band, it was also his first ever concert.Taylor's mother, Nikki Hooper, says that she and her husband have always been huge fans of the Foo Fighters. In addition to traveling far and wide to see their shows, they even named their son after the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. So when the band played in their home city, they decided it was finally time for their son to see their beloved rock and rockers in concert.“He's been listening to them since he was born — mainly because his dad and I are super fans.” Mrs Hooper told BBC. “We called the event organizers and they said it would be no problem, but that we should know it would be a loud music event, so we gotTaylorsome special headphones. When we got there everyone was so welcoming to him.”Throughout the show, the audience continuously madeTaylorand his parents move closer to the stage. Furthermore, Mrs. Hooper helped her son stand out from the crowd by making him a sign that said he was a 5-year-old attending his first concert.When Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl finally saw the sign and read it aloud into the microphone, the crowd began chanting for them to bring the youngster onto the stage. That's exactly what he did. When the stage managers brought the boy to the stage, Grohl asked Taylor to show the crowd how to dance.The small boy then danced to the whole song, making him an “Inter net wonder”.Taylordidn't just walk away from the show with memories, either;the band also invited him backstage to give him a number of gifts, includinga pair of Taylor Hawkins's drumsticks.4.

How didTaylorfeel about his first ever concert?A. Worried.B. Scared.C. Sorry.D. Pleased.CJack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier, Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism(自闭症) after he did not reach motion and language standards as expected.Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in theSmithtownschool district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among the greatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the learning center has given him the skills he needs to be successful.8. How did Jack’s parents know he suffered from autism?A. They found the baby clever.B. They judged by their experience.C. They found he didn’t develop.D. They checked on him in the hospital.9. What did the parents think of the early intervention?A. It made no difference to the babies.B. It benefitted the babies greatly.C. It got their babies more disabled.D. It helped their babies speak fluently.10. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. Autism can be confirmed at 18 months old.B. Jack’s parents were confident about his motor skills.C. Chase’s parents were doubtful about his developmentD. Jack’s parents worried about his language skills most.11. What is the text mainly talking about?A. Autism can be curedif parents take actions early.B. Parents should be confident about their children’s future.C. Early intervention in autism could improve children’s life.D. Communication skills should be developed as early as possible.DDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!12. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.13. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.14. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.15. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.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。

That’s what we wanted to ____24____ .”Earlier studies have considered that physical activity ____25____ cognitive decline. But according to Cheval, recent studies may ____26____ that past research has “only told half the story… since those recent studie s demonstrate that our brain is ____27____ when it comes to engagin g in physical activity.”Researchers at UNIGE tested the two possible ____28____ by using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a socioeconomic database covering more than 25 countries across the continent.Over the course of 12 years, 105, 206 adults ___29___ in age from 50 to go were tested every two years on their cognitive abilities and their physical activity.Researchers ____30____ cognitive abilities with a verbal fluency test that saw participants name as many animals as they could in 60 seconds.

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)“Runners, to your mark, Get set…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cro ss-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be shar ing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more th an normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking, “Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the sp ectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down.I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished therace, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I’m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace.36. What is special to the author about the race?A. The weather condition was good for runners.B. He was familiar with the home course.C. He took pride in competitors from other schools.D. His parents came to support him as usual.37. The underlined word “agony” (paragraph 4) most probably means .A. sufferingB. comfortC. reliefD. contest38. What result of the race can be concluded about the author from the passage?A. He left everyone behind and took the first place.B. He took the lead first and disappeared among trees.C. He won the race under the pressure of his coach.D. He finished the race but failed to reach his record.39. What’s the author’s reflection on the race?A. It is parents’ encouragement that leads to the result.B. It’s a pleasure to live up to your fans’ expectations.C. It’s important to pace yourself w ith no pride.D. It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard to finish tasks, collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.So here’s how to get stuff done and enjoy yourself at the same time.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’ list.” It’s a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day that affords you the life you have.40. Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”?A. Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B. Change “Dentist” into “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C. Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines.D. Keep asking yourself questions with the air of “I got time!”41. It can be concluded that the key to getting stuff done and enjoying yourself at the same time is ___.A. A. a state of mindB. a get-to-do list.C. a memory urgeD. a place of calm42. What’s the writing purpose of this passage?A. To find out what to do first every day.B. To imagine the good feeling of tasks.C. To explain the importance of lifestyle.D. To discover how to enjoy daily life.(C)Upon reflection of the ideal social moral code, within one sentence, it would be: be constructive, not destructive. Though “be constructive, not destructive” sounds sensible, there are many nuances (slight differences). Sometimes it is difficult to determine if an act is exactly constructive or destructive.We can decide if something is constructive or destructive based on degree, for instance. Say your preschool son is acting up and broke a glass vase, even after you told him to stop grabbing and playing with it several times. You get a thought in your mind to spank him to give a punishment for his naughty action. However, you start to feel confused about whether this would be constructive or destructive. It might show him that not listening to you and breaking things is not welcome, but on the other hand, spanking him is an act of aggression that will hurt him physically and perhaps teach him to use force in situations later in life. There is no exact wrong or right in these moments. However, through your own reasoning, you can decide to what degree it would be beneficial or harmful to him and the situation at hand. Personally, I would not spank my son, as I think it does more destruction than construction. But, that is just me.Another nuance to consider is the definition we give to construction and destruction. For example, for some people, construction can never involve violence, while for others, it could even be an essential part. Take the example of going back in time and killing Hitler. Killing someone is definitely termed a destructive act. However, in light of the circumstances, I would assume that the majority of people would agree that killing Hitler at the height of his power if they had the chance would be seen as a constructive, thus positive act. Therefore, our definitions often determine our values and how we behave upon those principles.Additionally, construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others. Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area. Yes, homes for humans are made, but also the habitat for countless animals is being destroyed, or at least altered to an extreme. Construction, if it is true, it should be beneficial to all parties included. That is a tall order, though. Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms—and perhaps plants, insects, and who knows what else. Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment. Plus, what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority. Is there a way to determine which side is correct? It is almost impossible. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct, or more appropriate. There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive, but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.Though I consider “Be constructive, not destructive” the most solid one-sentence social moral code, it is not without its nuances and problems. For instance, the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive, definitions of being constructive and destructive, and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances. These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes. However, I cannot imagine a better co de than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one’s life in a social context.43. From the author’s view whether to punish a kid’s wrong doing or not depends on what e xtent .A. A. it would bring him benefits or harmsB. he would modify his destructive behaviorC. his act is constructive or destructiveD. his destructive result might bring about44. The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to show that .A.

The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. _________47_________.One such website is Last.fm: a mix of a social network and an Internet-radio that tracks down the music its userslisten to. _________48_________. Besides, it has a number of advantages compared to other sources providing similar services. The design of Last.fm gives a welcoming impression, though some might find it too simple. The site is displayed in red tones, with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and, despite the quantity of information, is easy to understand and navigate. Users can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves, all kinds of badges, diagrams, tag clouds, and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录), which means tracking down the music one had been listening to. _________49_________. With its aid, Last.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis, the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre, including new ones, so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests._________50_________. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it. The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the USA, Germany, and Great Britain, while in other countries, users can only listen to short introductory samples. And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned before can listen to one track online up to five times a day. Besides, the website had recently changed its policy towards monetization and reduced the number of free services. Last.fm also works as a kind of musical Wikipedia, providing users with biographies of bands, or actual musicians. There is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource, presenting information about themselves and involving fans.A. Last.fm allows users to listen to music for free, as well as buy tracks.B. The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource for music lovers.C. There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobby.D. If you want to use Last.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are more suitable for this purposeE. This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts.F. This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers.71.IV. Summary Writing51. 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.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. We take these three elements and make a combination. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has (even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses), the feeling and identity of the self beyond age (especially experienced as we grow older), and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation for the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells, we remain essentially the same personality. This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. According to Scientific American: Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides one’s personality, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are essentially.Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very, very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition, our understanding of reality is vastly different from individual to individual. According to Psychology Today, “While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious. The problem of the soul lies exactly here, in understanding the nature o f the self, the “I” in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically. However, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly, but they are very difficult to deny.V.

I'm sure (if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21)________(go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive-mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22)________ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I've long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ________(hide) in an empty moon-cake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ________ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don't have to buy (25)________ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil. There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26)________ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils "lead pencil" in casual conversation, the term "lead pencil" is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27)________ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: "John,stop that! You're going to get lead poisoning!" I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28)________(safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29)______ ______ the moon-cake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more.

Before the internet, the world was a mysterious place. In many cases, peop le didn’t really know (22)_______ existed a few miles from home. Studying geography offered people a way to learn about the world.Geography, (23)_______ (define) as the study of Earth, has always had a focus on maps. But mapping hasn’t always been easy. In the days before satellites, mapmaking required years of dangerous and difficult work. But mapping also meant a chance at adventure and fame.Geography became the subject of explorers. People were eager to hear about the new things and places (24) _______ geographers had studied. National Geographic is a great example of this interest. For more than a hun dred years, the magazine’s stories and pictures (25) _______ (tell) people about our exciting world.Technology has changed the way people think about geography.

Even National Geographic has expanded beyond traditional geography, but that doesn’t mean geography has become (28) _______ (important).While some apps are obvious examples of modern geography in action, geography remains important in more subtle (不易察觉的) ways, too. Geography, which helps house hunters, solvespublic health issues, and determines good locations for new businesses, (29) _______ (use) to plan communities as well.Like traditional geographers, modern geographers study many different topics. That makes them well-suited for manydifferent jobs and industries. Today, geographers often have titles like “urban planner” or “data analyst”.

After a long time drifting without power in the ocean, they landed on the tiny island of Pikelot, more than 100 km from their destination.Pikelot is just 450 meters long and 280 meters wide. The highest point on Pikelot is only four meters above the sea. No people live there, and there is no water.

And, they say, they (21)_______ (overlook) too often in the classroom.Compared to reading, writing is (22) _______ (active). It helps students be independent thinkers, take ownership of their stories and ideas and communicate them clearly to others, says Elyse Eidman-Aadahl. She heads the National Writing Project, (23) _______ offers help for teachers who want to push students to write more.Elyse said, “I have to say (24) _______ we want an education system just (25) _______ (focus) on making people consumers andnot on helping them be producers, this emphasis on reading only -- which does happen in so many places -- is very short-sighted.”She said students’ writing work now usually centers on examining a text, (26) _______ _______ presenting a new idea. Writing, she said, should be “the central thing you’re learning. Not writing on a test, not writing to demonstra te you’re learning (27) _______ someone has taught you....”Teaching reading together with writing improves both skills, says Rebecca Wallace-Segall, who heads a New York City writing center, Writopia Lab.She said writing affects a person’s ability to re ad and more than 90 percent of young people in the Writopia program do not trust their writing abilities (28) _______ they start. But she said they learn to enjoy the writing process and become more effective readers, too.Elyse said employers today seek workers “all the time” who can write well. Digital tools increasingly mean that people are “(29) _______(interact) with the internet through writing,” she said.Young people are already writing all the time -- through text messages, emails and on social media.Elyse believes every young person today is a writer if they are connected to the internet. So, she added, “we have to help them do it in the best, most responsible, critical, prosocial way.”Rebecca argues that writing also helps students work through difficulties they face in life “subconsciously”.“They’re not writing a story about a difficult fath er or directly about a bully in class, (30) _______ creating a fictional scenario (电影剧本) that might feel distant enough for them to go deep into it.”答案21. are overlooked 22. more active 23. which 24. unless 25. focused26. instead of/rather than 27. what 28. when 29. interacting 30. but2021青浦一模Eating jellyfish could save endangered fishAccording to the IUCN Red List 32,000 species are threatened with extinction — everything from birds and mammals. Despite national and international efforts being gathered to protect threatened species, we actively fish for many of them. For those of us who enjoy the odd fish and chips, this isn't great news, (21)_____________ the researchers have come up with an unusual way we can help while still enjoying seafood—and it involves eating jellyfish.Between 2006 and 2014, 92 vulnerable or endangered species of seafood were being caught, recorded, and sold. When they are sold, it is rare that fish and invertebrate (无脊椎的) species (22)____________ (require) to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing (23)____________ they're eating.The research team stresses the fact (24)____________ this is only a brief view of the real problem. "A lot of the seafood catch and import records are listed in groups like ‘marine fish'. Here we didn't look at those vague records, we only looked at records (25)_____________ the actual species was listed — so we've made a huge underestimate of the actual catch of endangered species."There are some ways to untie the mess we're creating in the world's oceans, including (26)____________ (expand) our idea of seafood to include jellyfish. That might sound a little off thetheme, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested (27)_____________ as a food source. It makes a lot of sense because Jellyfish is considered a minor species of wild animals and scientists might think its number is increasing worldwide.Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species (28)_____________ the menu. "Weneed to improve the labelling of seafood (29)_________ __________ the consumers can have all of the information to make an informed choice," UQ conservation scientist Carissa Klein told ScienceAlert.And the informed choice, at least in some places, is (30)_____________ (easy) than you might imagine.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Semus Heaney was awarded the nobel prize in literature in 1995 when he was teaching at Harvard University. On the day when Harvard celebrated its three hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary before a large audience, he recited his poem composed in 1986 for the university's three hundred and fiftieth anniversary. This 1986 poem relies on the power of repeating words and sounds. Heaney said in an interview. "There's a kind of bell ringing quality to the poem, which makes it easy on the air." He remembered writing just two poems during his early years at Harvard when he taught and read a lot. One poem is the anniversary poem. And the other is about learning the alphabets at primary school. Heaney also recalled the physical Harvard where he had many happy moments. He said,"I still remember the excitement of driving around the campus and seeing the outlines of the houses, and I enjoyed a few quite corners on campus where I would sit down and take a nap. The library at Adam's house for one and the woodbury poetry room for another. Then there was the yard. It was the inspiration for the anniversary poem and also a place that reminded me of my own boyhood in the countryside because it used to be a cow yard."
