2024-2025学年上海市闵行区实验高级中学高三上学期期中考试英语试卷
2024-2025学年上海市闵行区实验高级中学高三上学期期中考试英语试卷Directions: After reading the passage 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 Unique Summer SchoolEvery spring, Alexandra Jones, founder of Archaeology in the Community, goes to St. Croix and talks to kids at the Caribbean Center for Boys and Girls. She leads the youth field program. Jones describes what the Estate Little Princess Archaeological Field School does at the Estate Little Princess and explains 1 kids can take part. Any girl or boy, ages 12 and up, from anywhere on the island can apply, as long as they belong to the Center for Boys and Girls. The program lasts a week and takes 2 maximum of 15 kids. About half are middle schoolers.Later that summer, Jones and the group of kids begin their week at the Estate Little Princess. The archaeologists (考古学家) are working in the area 3 the enslaved people’s village o nce stood. In 1786, 127 enslaved Africans lived in 53 houses there. Today, their homes are long gone. Jones explains, “For the most part the enslaved village area is overgrown with vegetation, 4 (make) it extremely difficult to survey and unearth.” This is where the kids work, side-by-side with the archaeologists, 5 (uncover) the past.On the kids’ first day, Jones teaches students what archaeology is and how artifacts, objects made and used by people in the past, 6 (put) into groups. They’ll classify what they find 7 the material the objects were made from - glass, pottery, bone, and so on. The kids go to the site and watch the archaeologists at work. That way, they can see what the jobs look like as they 8 (happen). Jones divides the kids into two groups. Some will be at the site, while others are in the lab. The kids start work on the second day. The group at the site excavates (挖掘): they dig through the dirt, sift it, and place what they find into artifact bags. The group at the lab wash, classify, and record the artifacts so the archaeologists can study them later.“The kids love it!” Jones says. “Each has something they’re drawn to, 9 it’s being the first to find something that hasn’t been touched in 80 to 100 years, or being the first person to wash it or see it 10 (wash), so they can really get a good view of what it is.”Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. angeredB. collectionC. connectionD. demandingE. dismissalF. lastingG.pessimism H. reputation I. unconventional J. underachieving K. unitedStepney WordsChris Searle’s journey as a teacher at Sir John Cass Secondary School in Stepney, East London, began in 1970. He was driven by a strong 11 to the area and a progressive vision for education. Having completed a postgraduate thesis (论文) on Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from the East End, Searle saw Stepney as a place filled with potential, in spite of its 12 as a hopeless community. He believed that education, particularly through poetry, could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds.Searle’s 13 approach conflicted with the traditional view s of the school’s governors and teachers. At a time when discipline was harsh and students were often regarded as troublemakers, Searleviewed these 14 teenagers as individuals with untapped potential. He believed that poetry could unlock their creativity and help them express their experiences, offering them a sense of hope and purpose.His belief in poetry’s power materialized in the creation of Stepney Words, a collection of his students’ poems. Despite the 15 from some staff who thought his methods too liberal, the poems gained attention, and some of them were even published in The Sun newspaper by March 1971. The 16 gave the students a voice, but it also drew criticism from school officials who thought the poems were “too gloomy.”Searle’s progressive ideals led to his 17 from the school. However, his students, 18 by the decision, organized a protest led by 16-year-old Zenaida de la Cruz. The entire school quickly 19 , standing together with Searle. On his return to the school, he found 800 students standing outside the gates in the rain, showing their support.Though the government eventually allowed him to return, he decided to leave the school in 1974. His commitment to education did not end there — he continued to teach around the world and published his own poetry, leaving behind a(n) 20 impact of optimism, innovation, and faith in the power of education to bring about change.In recent years, many employers have begun to prioritize skills over traditional qualifications when evaluating job candidates. This shift aims to ______ persistent skills shortages and promote workforce diversity. ______, while skills-based hiring has good intentions, its implementation (实行) often misses the mark.Companies like John Lewis have started to openly share their interview questions, aiming to ______ the hiring process. Meanwhile, other organizations have abandoned degree requirements or even CVs for specific positions. These strategies reflect a broader trend towards recognizing candidate s’ abilities rather than merely their past experiences.According to Harry Gooding from recruitment firm Hays, the ______ of skills-based hiring is to “bring a person’s skills into the limelight (聚光灯).” A recent survey indicated that 70% of recruitment (招聘) professionals now ______ skills assessment over traditional CV analysis. This shift is seen as an opportunity to ______ the talent pool and allow individuals from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to compete more fairly for jobs.Despite these positive changes, many initiatives have not produced significant results. Research from the Burning Glass Institute and Harvard Business School reveals that firms adopting skills-based hiring have ______ increased their workforce of employees without degrees by an average of 3.5 percentage points. Furthermore, many organizations have just ______ their hiring practices without making substantive changes. A surprising 45% of companies reported no real shift in hiring patterns, even after ______ degree requirements.Stephen Chu, chief legal and people officer at Instride, points out that simply dropping degree requirements is ______ if hiring teams do not adopt a skills-first strategy. He notes that organizations often unknowingly keep ______ alive by continuing to favor degree holders in hiring. Instride faced this issue firsthand, realizing that their hiring practices needed a bigger transformation to truly embrace skills-based recruitment.To effectively implement this approach, employers must integrate skills assessment throughout the hiring process. This can be achieved by developing a skills taxonomy, which is a detailed list of necessary skills for various roles within the organization. This foundational work enables firms to clearly define job requirements and ensures that recruitment standards ______ the new focus on skills.Nikolaz Foucaud from Coursera emphasizes that a cultural shift is necessary for skills-based hiring. Leaders should adopt a comprehensive people strategy, and job descriptions must reflect the skills and experiences ______ the roles they aim to fill.While skills assessments play a crucial role in recruitment, they should not be applied without careful consideration. Each role requires a careful evaluation of the right ______ of skills, experience, and cultural fit. Ultimately, the ______ of skills-based hiring depends on a thoughtful and integrated approach, enabling organizations to unlock a broader range of talent.21.A．address B．evaluate C．explain D．report22.A．Therefore B．Besides C．Instead D．However23.A．design B．extend C．clarify D．control24.A．cost B．process C．advantage D．essence25.A．abandon B．define C．emphasize D．submit26.A．broaden B．approach C．decrease D．classify27.A．greatly B．only C．similarly D．regularly28.A．rebranded B．criticised C．described D．discouraged 29.A．satisfying B．discussing C．removing D．understanding 30.A．independent B．insufficient C．insensitive D．inexpensive 31.A．institutions B．preferences C．teamwork D．relationship32.A．set aside B．look over C．take after D．agree with33.A．available to B．relevant to C．present in D．different in34.A．combination B．development C．possibility D．introduction 35.A．trouble B．choice C．price D．successRay Harryhausen was a pioneering figure in special effects, known for his incredible mastery of stop-motion animation. His influence began when he was attracted by the 1933 film King Kong. The film’s innovative use of stop-motion to bring the giant creature to life left a lasting impression on the young Harryhausen, which fueled his desire to pursue a career in special effects.Harryhausen’s work was groundbreaking. He animated small-scale models by photographing them one frame at a time, making slight adjustments to their positions between each shot to give the impression of movement. This process required patience and precision. One of his most famous scenes is in the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts. The heroes fight an army of skeletons. This scene took several months to make, but it is one of the most remarkable achievements in film history.Throughout his career, Harryhausen worked on various films, many of which feature fantastical creatures and exciting action scenes. Films like The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955), and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958) showcased his ability to create lifelike and dynamic creatures in ways that hadn’t been seen before. His monsters seemed to have a life of their own, interacting smoothly with live actors.Despite his significant contributions, Harryhausen never won an Academy Award for his special effects, though his work was beloved by audiences and continues to influence modern filmmakers. He created a unique style of animation that combined imagination and technical skill, inspiring directors like Peter Jackson and George Lucas. Harryhausen’s stop-motion techniques, while less used today due to the rise of computer-generated imagery, remain a landmark of innovative filmmaking.In 1992, Harryhausen was finally awarded a lifetime achievement Oscar, recognizing his mark on the film industry. His work continues to inspire, and although modern technology has evolved, the sense of wonder and creativity he brought to his films endures.36. Ray Harryhausen’s method can be described as _____.A．filming live-action actors together with a monster-like figureB．displaying models from various angles to show a whole imageC．drawing animated characters by hand to reveal their uniquenessD．photographing models frame by frame to make them appear to move37. Which of the following is a feature of the monsters created by Ray Harryhausen?A．They looked kind and friendly.B．They showed the power of technology.C．They engaged naturally with real actors.D．They were unusual in appearance.38. The last two paragraphs talk mainly about _____.A．the change in the film industry B．Ray Harryhausen’s career strugglesC．the decline of stop-motion animation D．the impact of Ray Harryhausen’s work 39. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Filmmakers no longer use Ray Harryhausen’s techniques.B．Ray Harryhausen won awards for his groundbreaking work.C．Ray Harryhausen’s work revolutionized special effects in filmmaking.D．Stop-motion animation is one of the oldest techniques in filmmaking history.When I was 14, I began collecting all the interesting math facts and puzzles that weren’t covered in school into a notebook. This notebook eventually expanded into six volumes. These collections became the basis for my book, Professor Stewart’s Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities.One of the most interesting topics I revisited while writing my book was the “sausage conjecture,” a unique mathematical challenge. A conjecture is a theory that mathematicians believe could be true but hasn’t been proven or disproven yet. The sausage conjecture is about finding the most efficient way to wrap circles or spheres. For example, if you wrap a string tightly around several identical circles laid out on a flat surface, the conjecture explores which arrangement minimizes the area inside the string.Mathematicians have long studied how to pack objects tightly. For instance, it took nearly 400 years to prove that stacking oranges in hexagonal layers is the most compact form in three dimensions. However, this area of math isn’t fully resolved, especially when considering more than three dimensions or different shapes.Consider a simple situation: if you were to wrap a ribbon around six flat, circular pies, you would find th at placing the pies in a straight line (forming a “sausage” shape with the string) covers the smallest area. But if you wrap seven pies, a hexagonal layout with one pie in the center touching the others is more space-efficient. This pattern holds true for up to six circles; a linear layout is best. But for seven or more, a rounder arrangement minimizes the area inside the string. This has been proven mathematically for up to six circles.The problem becomes even more complex with spheres. For wrapping 56 or fewer identical spheres, a sausage-shaped arrangement minimizes the volume inside the wrapping. With 57 spheres, a compact shape is better, as it balances thinness with volume. This too is a proven theorem.40. What does a conjecture in mathematics refer to?A．A fully proven mathematical theorem.B．A theory that has been proven incorrect.C．A theory that might be true but hasn’t been proven yet.D．A mathematical rule used for solving algebraic problems.41. According to the passage, how should six flat, circular items be arranged to minimize the area enclosed by a string?A．B．C．D．42. What is the primary purpose of the passage?A．To explain a complex mathematical theory in detail.B．To detail the author’s personal history and achievements.C．To introduce a collection of mathematical wonders in a book.D．To promote a proper way of discussing mathematical challenges.It is a common misconception that geology is “just” about rocks. True, geologists are trained to read what rocks tell us ab out Earth’s past, present and possible future structure and evolution. But, as I will explain as part of this year’s Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, geological processes and climate are closely linked.Numerous complex physical and chemical links an d feedbacks exist between Earth’s surface and subsurface rocks, its atmosphere, oceans and ice caps and life in all these places. Volcanic eruptions bring carbon from deep within the planet to the surface and the air, enhancing the green-houseeffect. In contrast, weathering of exposed rocks at the surface and the action of shell-forming animals in the oceans remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing global warming.The rocks and fossils (化石) in the geological record bear witness to these processes, showing us that Earth’s climate has changed continually since the planet formed around 4.6 million years ago. This same record also shows that atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level in at least the past 3 million years, and that the current pace of planetary warming is never before seen in Earth’s history.The geological record can also be used to assess the accuracy of complex numerical models used to predict future climate and its impact on Earth’s habitability. Geology has improved our understanding of global warming and hopefully will help us to reduce it.There is an irony to that, given geologists play a role in locating and exploiting climate-heating fossil fuels. Now, more than ever, ou r discipline needs to fully adopt the concept of “sustainable geoscience”.This isn’t a new idea and nor is it limited to climate change. The many and varied historical contributions of geology to tackling some of our greatest societal challenges can be seen by looking at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To name just a couple of examples, geologists study the origin, natural transportation and behaviour of pollutants like arsenic and lead, critical to the provision of safe and reliable water supplies, and they explore the origin of natural hazards such as landslides and earthquakes, and so help strengthen communities across the world.But geologists must redouble their engagement with other scientists and politicians to develop and ultimately help apply solutions to the many environmental and resource challenges we face. Students of geology should be made aware of the broader contributions their multidisciplinary skill set can make to global well-being, beyond just energy provision — although ensuring energy supply, we should not forget, underpins many of the Sustainable Development Goals.43. The examples of volcanic eruptions and the weathering of rocks are intended to _____.A．demonstrate what geological activities geologists mainly studyB．highlight the importance of studying volcanic activity in geologyC．illustrate the enormous and destructive power of geological processesD．show the dynamic interactions between geological activities and climate44. In the sentence “There is an irony to that”, the irony refers to _____.A．the profession’s role in both causing and solving global warmingB．sustainable geoscience’s unexpected popularity across various fieldsC．the disagreement between geological records and current climate modelsD．geologists’ focus on energy provision which goes against their original goal45. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．Energy supply is in critical shortage.B．Geologists are able to work across various fields.C．Pollutants spread far and wide due to modern transportation.D．Fossil fuel exploitation does not contribute to climate change.46. What is the main point the author is making in the passage?A．Geologists primarily study rocks to understand Earth’s climate.B．Climate models are often inaccurate without the geological record.C．Geology is crucial for addressing global challenges beyond the study of rocks.D．The field of geology focuses on exploiting fossil fuels and studying climate change.The Call of AlcoholPe ople’s reactions to alcohol can vary widely—from those who enjoy it greatly to those who find it unappealing. The difference, as scientists are discovering, may not just be a matter of personal choice but also deeply rooted in genetics and physiological responses.A fascinating case is that of Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends. 47 Researchers discovered that their levels of a hormone called FGF21, which typically helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), more than doubled. Interestingly, this hormone might also play a role in controlling alcohol intake.FGF21 is primarily produced in the liver (肝), but its effects extend to the brain, where it seems to play a role in regulating desires for alcohol and sugar. 48 This finding opens up new possibilities for developing treatments targeting FGF21 pathways to reduce heavy drinking.But why would a hormone that evolved to control metabolism also affect alcohol consumption? One theory suggests it might be tied to our evolutionary past. Early humans frequently consumed fermented (发酵的) foods and drinks, which could damage the liver if consumed too much. 49In human studies, variations in the FGF21 gene have been linked to differences in alcohol consumption. Those with one variant are more likely to drink heavily, while others with a different variant are more likely to drink moderately or even drink nothing. These genetic insights are part ofa broader effort to reveal the complex relationship between our biology and drinking behavior.50 If FGF21 or similar pathways can be used for treatment purposes, it might become possible to help individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. This could also provide new avenues for understanding how our organs, like the liver, influence behaviors traditionally considered purely psychological.the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.Let the Youth Speak UpThe Global Youth Empowerment Foundation (GYEF) is a leading organization that helps young people share their ideas and solutions for a better world. This group is especially important today, as it helps young people get involved in making changes in areas like the economy, society, and the environment. Their main project, “Voices of Tomorrow,” invites young people from different places to come up with creative ways to solve big global issues.For example, Anna Dobrenkov from Russia suggested creating a digital link between countries to share new ideas and business opportunities. This idea came from seeing how technology can bring people and countries closer together. The “Voices of Tomorrow” effort is part of a bigger project called the Global Development Exchange (GDX), which aims to meet sustainable development goals. It has inspired young people from more than 60 countries to propose ideas for things like environmental technology and better healthcare.Yu Yunquan, a leader in world studies, stressed the value of young people taking part in world decision-making, encouraging them to share their fresh thoughts and creativity. Damaris Carlos from Peru made an impactful proposal based on her community’s health challenges, emphasizing the need for countries to work together more closely in health matters.The campaign also focuses on reducing the digital gap, pushing for platforms that allow young people to fight for change and share their stories. Recently, they talked about creating a cloud-based healthcare system to help countries share medical resources, showing GYEF’s belief in working together for better growth and support.In short, GYEF and “Voices of Tomorrow” show how young people’s enthusiasm and new ideas can lead to a world that’s more fair and sustainable. This initiative keeps inspiring future leaders to imagine a world where progress and equality arereal._____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________52. 这项新政策对员工和公司都大有裨益。

"We found the same trend across all groups of marine life we looked at, from small forms of plants and animals to marine invertebrates （无脊椎动物）， and from fish to seabirds."The new study builds on early evidence of the impact of climate changes on the distribution,diversity and seasonality of marine species. Based on those findings,Genner's team reasoned that marine species should be doing well at the leading（pole-ward）edge of their ranges but poorly at their trailing（equator-ward）side. They also realized that existing global species distribution databases could be used to test this idea.Based on a thorough search of available data in the literature,the researchers now report on a global analysis of diversity trends for 304 widely distributed marine species over the last century. The results show that - just as predicted - diversity increases have been most obvious where sampling has taken place at the pole-ward side of species ranges,while diversity declines have been greatest where sampling has taken place at the equator-ward side of species ranges. The findings show that large-scale changes in the diversity of species are well underway. They also suggest that marine species haven't managed to adapt to warmer conditions. Theresearchers therefore suggest that projected sea temperature increases of up to 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels by 2050 will continue to lead to shifts in the diversity of marine species, including those of importance for coastal livelihoods."This matters because it means that climate changes are not only leading to diversity changes, but naturally affecting the performance of species locally," Genner says. "We're seeing fewer and fewer species like emperor penguins as water becomes too warm at their equator-ward edge,and we see some fish such as European seabass growing well at their pole-ward edge where historically they were uncommon."The results show that the effects of climate changes on marine species arehighly uniform and not a little."While some marine life may benefit as the ocean warms,the findings point toward a future in which we will also see continued loss of marine life," Genner says.（1）According to the passage, what did Genner's team conclude？___A. Climate changes have a great effect on the growth of fish.B. Species data can be used to test the study.C. Arctic marine species grow better than those at the equator.D. Marine species can adapt to the warm environment.（2）Which of the following is true according to the passage？___A. Some sea creatures may benefit from warming oceans.B. Climate Changes have little to do with the richness of species.C. The effect of climate changes on marine life has improved.D. Marine life will benefit from ocean warming in the future.（3）What does the underlined part of the last paragraph mean？___A. similar and slightB. nowhere and a little bitC. everywhere and enormousD. nothing and uneventful（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？___A. Study of the Disappearance of Marine life.B. Impact of Climate Changes on Marine Species.C. Analysis of Species Distribution Database.D. Comparative Analysis of Ocean Temperatures.18.（填空题，6分）Travel with Your Pet to Whistler,Canada!Pet Friendly Whistler!We want to help you bring your cat or dog on vacation to Whistler!Check out our Store!

Don't get discouraged.B. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question again and again.C. If you don't own a camera, you can buy one or borrow one from others.D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E. With a question like this, you will get more than a "Yes" or "No" reply.F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.The Art of Man-on-the-Street InterviewsHave you ever observed the busy people of the street？Do they arouse your infinite thinking？The man-on-the-street interview may become a popular word because it is new. The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot.（1）___ But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for astory,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, "Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？" （2）___Hit the streets with confidence. As you approach people,be polite. Say,"Excuse me,I work for a certain well-known TV or radio station, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic." This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.（3）___ If someone tells you she is not interested, move on to the next person. Keep in mind that not everyone wants to be interviewed, so don't get hung up on it.Limit your time. Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person. Make sure that asyou go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.（4）___For the media,the ability to increase ratings and influence may be the only meaning they want. In fact,different people have different views towards the interview. Someone says this should be the product of the fast-food information age.21.（问答题，10分）Directions： Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.How to Protect Your Personal Privacy Online？Cyber crimes are now part of today's digital era, affecting people's lives professionally as well as personally. It is annoying but true that you do not actually have absolute control over who might be watching you online. More than ever, government agencies have focused on fightingagainst illegal surveillance（监控） programs, raising concerns about protecting online privacy. Here are some suggestions for you to follow.Evaluating your online activities is the most crucial task towards protecting your online privacy. You need to assess what personal or private data you are storing or sharing on your computer/mobile devices or online platforms. It is important to identify the value of your information and analyze the risks such as： how safe is your data offline or online？ What happens if your personal data gets leaked？ These are some basic questions so that you can take necessary steps to solve your online privacy issues.Everything you do comes out once you go online. Your data is being misused by some advertisers and online marketers. Some illegal programs make your system threatened, invade your privacy and steal your confidential information. So, installing genuine and latest anti-virus software is critically important to protect your devices from such threats. That is to use original or latest anti-virus software, browsers, etc. Also, stay up-to-date with the current tools, methods and technology. You can reduce the risks by becoming more educated on the leading tools, and methods available in the digital world. You should learn and follow the security rules and pay attention to the information you share on social networking sites.To prevent unauthorized access to your system, you should choose a strong password string that will never be easy for hackers to get. That is to enforce a strong password. And do not use one common password for multiple services because if one service is broken, you'll lose control of the others. Tony, a security software maker, suggests that consumers should use different email addresses for different purposes so that hackers cannot match an email stolen from a website to one from a bank.22.（问答题，3分）天气变冷，当心别感冒了。

His ability to notice details, put them together and amazed everyone. He first appeared in the story A Study in Scarlet. The story also introduced Dr. John Watson and how he came to live with Holmes and be part of his life. Watson observes that many interesting people visit Holmes at moments during the day.Watson tells people about this first case which involves the murders of two men. The story is two parts. In the first part, Holmes solves the crime and captures the killer. The second part explains why the killer murdered his victims.The Red-Headed League is on many people's lists of their favorite Holmes stories. In this story, red-headed businessman Jabez Wilson came to Holmes for help. Several weeks before, Wilson's young assistant, Vincent Spaulding, showed him a newspaper advertisement. The advertisement said a company called the Red-Headed League offered highly paid work to a red-headed man. Wilson got the job and was paid 4 pounds a week for short periods of afternoon work. Then , with no notice, the job stopped.Wilson wanted to discover what happened. Holmes asked for a description of Spaulding and went to see him at Wilson's shop. He noticed that the knees of Spaulding's were dirty. Then Holmes tapped on the pavement in front of Wilson's shop. Next, he called a police inspector and the manager of the bank that was behind Wilson's shop. The four men hid and waited. Soon two men, one of whom was Spaulding, showed up from a tunnel cut into the vault's floor and were captured. The two men had the company to keep Wilson away while they dug the tunnel to the bank vault (金库).(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)17.（2021·上海闵行区·模拟）The Shanghai Import Expo was held in November, 2020.

Not only do these apps save time, they also provide us with a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.However, we must not forget the problems of online food delivery. For one thing, they make it even easier to order u food, high in sugar, fat and salt. Food safety is another problem. It can be hard to tell where the food a comes from, and whether the owner is allowed to run a restaurant. As couriers (递送者) need to deliver the orders as quickly as possible, some may pay less attention to traffic rules. These years, there have been a number of terrible traffic accidents because of this. Moreover, the industry is p unbelievable amounts of packaging waste. Over a million tons of online food delivery boxes are thrown away every year.There are many good points of online food delivery, but we need to make sure that we make theright c in the long run. We should do our best to limit waste, especially when it comes to packaging.We also need to think about what we eat and the influence on our health.

Patterns of good behavior, or manners, show respect and care for others. Yet the details of to express respect are so different.Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite. But ifs more important in some cultures than others. For example, when you enter a store in France, you, should always greet the person working there. Other cultures also greeting people. But of course the greetings vary as people speak different languages.When I was growing up in the United States, I once, took part in a performance at my church.Afterwards, someone gave me a compliment; but I felt like I had done a bad job. So I tried to refuse the compliment, saying, "No, I didn't do that well." My mother stopped me and told me that was very .Later I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted in China.Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with . In North America, ifs polite to eat as quietly as possible. That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping your soup. The same goes for burping (打嗝). But in parts of Asia, slurping shows that you are enjoying your meal. And burping is a sign of being full and content.There are also differences in how people, eat across cultures. , in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths.

Not like his friend, Asher, who talked too fast, mixing up words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny.Jonas smiled, remembering the morning that Asher had dashed into the classroom, late as usual, arriving breathlessly in the middle of the chanting of the morning anthem（国歌）. When the class took their seats at the conclusion of the patriotic song, Asher remained standing to make his public apology as was required."I apologize for inconveniencing my learning community." Asher ran through the standard apology phrase rapidly, still catching his breath. The Instructor and class waited patiently for his explanation."I left home at the correct time but when I was riding along near the pool, the crew was separating some salmon. I guess I just got distraught, watching them.""I apologize to my classmates, " Asher concluded. He smoothed his messy collar and sat down. "We accept your apology, Asher." The class recited the standard response in unison. Many of the students were biting their lips to keep from laughing."I accept your apology, Asher, " the Instructor said. He was smiling. "And I thankyou, because once again you have provided an opportunity for a lesson in language.'Distraught' is too strong an adjective to describe salmon viewing." He turned and wrote "distraught" on the instructional board. Beside it he wrote "distracted."Jonas, nearing his home now, smiled at the recollection.Thinking, still, as he wheeled his bike into its narrow port beside the door, he realized that frightened was the wrong word to describe his feelings, now that December was almost here. It was too strong an adjective.He had waited a long time for this special December, when the Ceremony of the Twelvewill be held and the future assignment will be announced by the Elders in the committee.Now that it was almost upon him, he wasn't frightened, but he was…eager, he decided. He was eager for it to come. And he was excited, certainly. All of the Elevens were excited about the event that would be coming so soon. But there was a little tremble of nervousness when he thought about it, about what might happen.Anxious, Jonas decided. That's what I am.（1）Asher arrived at the school________.A as soon as the students concluded the national anthemB after all the other students had taken their seatsC when the Instructor had begun the language lessonD when students had started singing the patriotic song．（2）Why did the Instructor write the word "distraught" on the board？________A To show he accepted the apology.B To explain the confusing words.C To warn students against using it.D To shame Asher for using the wrong word.．（3）Jonas recalled what happened to Asher because________.A he found himself struggling to describe his feelings preciselyB he was certain that he would make the same mistake as Asher didC he was reminded to use the appropriate language for the ceremonyD he finally understood how Asher was feeling that morning．（4）The text is probably extracted from________.A science fiction novelB a journal of applied linguisticsC a documentary about campus lifeD a manual for using language correctly．（1）What does planting for Progress appeal for the struggling farmers？________A It trains farmers to research new varieties of seeds.B It uses green technology to ensure water supply.C It transforms the soil to prevent failed harvest.D It teaches farmers marketing skills to boost crop sales.．（2）If Jenny would like to be updated about the work done by Practical Action， she should send her personal contact information by________.A calling 0800 389 1624 in personB visiting /thriveC emailing myprivacy@D mailing to a given address．（3）The purpose of the leaflet is to________.A encourage public donations to charityB introduce the various charity workdone C outline procedures of donating to charity D raise awareness of ending world hunger．6. Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment（色素）used in ancient documents paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, popular blue dye used to color manuscripts（手稿）in Europe during the middle ages﹣from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish﹣purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by ________ instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th﹣century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo﹣Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to aplant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish﹣green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues﹣including the best time to pick the berries. "You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen（亚麻）." The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye's molecular structure. To their surprise they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes﹣it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. "Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting." the team wrote in the study. "Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon."（1）The primary purpose of the study is to________.A restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB determine the substance making up the foliumC prove the ancient dye﹣making technique was organicD identify which class of color folium belongs to．（2）The underlined phrase "poring over" in the second paragraph means________.A discussing publiclyB testing repeatedlyC passing directlyD reading carefully．（3）What can be learned about the blue dye folium？________A It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B It was the only kind made from wild berries.C It could be carried and used easily.D It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.．（4）The article is mainly about________.A how the mystery of thousand﹣year﹣old blue dye was solvedB why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD when and where the discovery of the dye was made．Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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.7.Managing Time with the Pomodoro TechniqueIn work，as well as in life，doing what needs to be done in order to reach our goals can be difficult.（1）________Luckily， one of the most efficient and most popular time management techniques is also one of the world's simplest﹣the Pomodoro Technique.The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.（2）________Each block is known as a pomodoro， the Italian word for "tomato." Cirillo named the system after the tomato﹣shaped kitchen timer that he used to track his work time when he was studying as a university student. He developed a habit of doing short blocks of work followed by resting periods. He realized this method could help him work with time instead of struggling against it.In 2006，Cirillo published his Pomodoro Technique manual for people to download free of charge. The Pomodoro technique can be applied in almost all parts of our life. It was built around a handful of important steps. First， choose a task that you'd like to get done.（3）________What matters is that you are ready to give it your full attention.Next， set a timer for 25 minutes. Try to spend the full 25 minutes with your complete attention on the task. Then，when the timer goes off，take a five﹣minute break. Sit back，have a drink，go for a short walk，or do something else that is not work﹣related. Once you have completed four of these 30﹣minute cycles，treat yourself to a longer break that lasts 15 to 30 minutes.（4）________After trying the Pomodoro Technique， you may want to experiment a little. Some people have found that 90﹣minute blocks work best， while others might perform better with more flexible periods. It varies from person to person. Just remember， like many things in life， simpler is often better！IV. Summary Writing8. Directions： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points （s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. What Is Zero Waste？The goal of the "zero waste" movement is to get rid of all waste from products. "Zero waste" means using every part of a product. Today， the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular wayto use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds（咖啡渣）to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it's challenging， zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry， zero waste isn't a new idea. But in today's world of fast fashion，zero waste is growing more popular. Usually， cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion， designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra piecesof cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion， there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils（器皿）. Bakey's is company that is developing edible（可食用的）utensils. After using them， you can eat them！Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat， they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile， Air New Zealand is experimenting with edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee， you eat the cup， just like a cookie！Whether products are made to be edible or reusable， hopefully the movement will help reduce waste all over the world.V.

If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting （稍纵即逝的） thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand.

"There's no reason to believe the water in Flint is any more dangerous than other U.S.cities," Edwards says. However,some residents cast doubt on those results.Melissa Mays,a Flint resident andorganizer of Water You Fighting For？A local advocacy group,says she still breaks out in rashes and wants more tests from showers and water heaters for bacteria like Legionella,an outbreak of which has killed 12 people around Flint since April 2014. "We feel like we're right back at the beginning," Mays says.As the state tries to decide who should be responsible for the crisis,the city is working to replace its old lead pipes.But only 700 of Flint's 30，000 lead service lines have been dug up and replaced.Overhauling them all will require far more than the ＄27 million the state has provided. "It's a shame that it's taken this long," says Mayor Karen Weaver,who was elected in the wake of the crisis. "The bottom line is that we need and deserve new pipes."But even with new infrastructure （基础设施），the real challenge in Flint may be restoring public confidence in the face of immeasurable distrust.（1）The author mentioned the numbers in the first paragraph to ___ .A.call people to pay attention to the problem of water securityB.indicate the effect of the water problem on the people of FlintC.highlight the good memory of the average people of FlintD.urge the government to financially help people of Flint（2）What should be responsible for the water problem in Flint？ ___A.Insufficient water supply equipment.B.Shortage of financial aid.C.The unhealthy source of water.D.Local people's improper lifestyle.（3）From the passage we know that ___ .A.the water supply in Flint has been switched backB.the pollution in the Flint River is out of controlC.residents in Flint were convinced of the water safetyD.the water crisis has caused several deaths so far（4）Which of the following might the author agree with？ ___A.The residents exaggerated the negative impact of the water crisis.B.The government officials are wrongly blamed for the water crisis.C.The residents should share the cost of improving the water supply system.D.The government should reassure people of its reliability.18.（填空）Interested in learning simple moves which can lead to a less stressed-out you？Join our eight-week course of training Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction. Below is a brief introduction of our four strategies to build the ability to recover from stress.For many of us, work can be so mentally exhausting that it's possible to forget that we have an entire body attached to our head. The body-scan meditation is a chance to help you tune in to the tiny pains that we often don't even notice. It can last anywhere from one to 20 minutes, and it's easy to do while lying in bed. Here's how to do it： lie down or sit still in a chair with your eyes closed, and begin to sense every part of the body in turn, starting at your toes and traveling up from there. It's a good way for us to release tension we don't even realize we're experiencing. Mindfulness isn't all closed eyes and a statue-still position. Stretching, too, can be meditation. Mindful movement is also a way to pay attention. The point isn't to twist into a complex body position, but to better understand the body's limits and potential. Cycle through slow, gentle poses, like placing a knee to your chest while lying on your back, or a simple cat-cow （pictured） on all fours. Before you start, set aside a few minutes to calm down and focus on your breath. And once you're done, spend a few moments lying flat on your back with your muscles relaxed.Simply breathing while paying attention to the breath is the heart of any mindfulness practice. The goal isn't to clear the mind but to let thoughts pass like clouds without getting sucked into what they might mean. Rather than identifying with a thought or getting caught up in it, the participant notices the thought and then says goodbye to it. That way, people can have a little bit more freedom in how to respond to internal stimuli like their thoughts. To cultivate awareness of the breath, find a relaxed seat and notice-without thinking about it or trying to change it-how you breathe in and out. Build up to a 15-to-20-minute practice.Walking is a good framework for practicing mindfulness. （Ideally, this should be done without the pressure of having to get anywhere on a particular schedule.） Find a quiet place inside or outdoors to take your stroll. While you walk, focus on each small, slow step： the lifting of one foot, the heel-first transfer of weight, the shift to the other. Every time your foot hits the ground, bring your attention to your breath and the feelings in your body. Walking meditation is more manageable than, say, sitting still in the dark, and it can also alleviate pain in the process. Try to practice mindful walking, at any pace, for 10 to 30 minutes.（1）Gentle Yoga and Breathing Exercise are similar in that both of them___ .A. involve stretching bodies considerablyB. call for controlling people's breathC. empty pressure from mind temporarilyD. help people reduce body movement（2）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true？___A. People can do their walking meditation at their own pace.B. Doing body scan can let go of the unnoticed tension.C. Before doing gentle yoga, people need to lie down and relax muscles.D. Breathing exercise requires people to breathe in a usual way.（3）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？___A. Warming up activity is required before doing these exercises.B. These exercises are better functioned when done indoors.C. The more time you spend on the exercises, the better result you get.D. Your body keeps in a motionless state when doing body scan.19.（填空）The story of the emperor's new clothes is one of Andersen's best-knownfables.Conmen（骗子）fool the emperor into believing they have made him a fabulous suit that the unworthy will be unable to see.Courtiers（侍从） dare not say that the emperor is naked；it takes a child to point out the obvious.The moral is that people are often too hidebound by social tradition to state their views.How many companies have ploughed ahead with expensive projects that were favoured by the chief executive,even when other managers have had doubts？People from different backgrounds approach problems from different angles-that much should be blindingly obvious.It is not just about selecting people for teams from both sexes and various ethnicities.Hire only Cambridge politics graduates or Harvard MBAs or Stanford software engineers and they will have studied under the same professors and absorbed similar world views regardless of their gender or skin colour.In the modern world,with all its complexity,co-operation is essential if breakthroughs are to be made.In science and engineering,90% of papers are now written by teams rather than individuals.Analysis of American patent fillings since 1975 showed teams dominate in every one of the 36 defined categories.There is another element to selecting a good team：ensuring that those viewpoints are heard and respected.That may not happen if those in charge are overbearing.A study of over 300 projects by the Rotterdam School of Management found that those led by junior managers were more likely to succeed than those led by senior managers-maybe because other team memberswere less scared about pointing out potential dangers to someone lower down the pecking order （权力等级）.The ability to speak up within an organization,without fear of punishment,is known as "psychological safety".Mr.Syed cites a study of teams at Google,which found that self-reported psychological safety was by far the most important factor behind successful teamwork at the technology giant.One way to overcome shyness while brainstorming,for instance,is for everyone to write down their ideas but ensure their names are never known.That way,opinions about thoughts are less closely tied to the seniority of the thinker and can be tested against each other with less fear or favour.（1）The author mentioned one of Andersen's best-known fables to___ .A.confirm the popularity of Andersen's fablesB.argue children's wisdom over adultsC.indicate the importance of different opinionsD.make fun of the foolishness of some people（2）By using the word "hidebound" the author is referring to those who___ .A.close themselves to a fixed mindB.pay more attention to other's behaviorC.advocate traditional way of thinkingD.hesitate to participate in team activities（3）According to the passage,which of the following makes an effective team？___A.Employing graduates from the same excellent university.B.Appointing senior managers with the right of leading a team.C.Establishing a team with people of various backgrounds.D.Hiring people assembling their chief executives in thoughts.（4）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage？___A.Co-operation and teamwork contribute to the complexity of the world.B.The less identity a person releases the more he is ready to air views.C.Viewpoints from different perspectives are likely to cause conflicts.D.There exists the danger of pecking order in a team led by junior managers.20.（填空）Are You a Prisoner of Perfection？Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach？Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize？Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can't achievethe unachievable？（1）___Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection.We believe that if we fashion a perfectly polished personality,flash our intelligence,and perfect our humour,then no one can hurt us with criticism and we'll win respect and approval.For the majority of us,the addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.（2）___ We fear that showing shortcomings will expose us to the accusation thatwe're weak.We stick to a desire to be right,perfect,and polished,even when it's obvious that the emperor has no clothes.Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future.We're constantly evaluating ourselves in order to be better.There's nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.（3）___ We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too serious.Sadly,the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves are taken away from us.A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn't mean that we are a failure.Without failures,we'll never learn from our mistakes；we'll never move forward in our lives.Those who succeed have made countless mistakes.（4）___ Being human,perfection is impossible.By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best,we begin to rid of the shame that drives perfectionism.A.By definition,perfection is the state of mind which drives us to move forwards.B.However,if we can't relax and enjoy lighter moments,then we become prisoners of our perfectionism.C.To some extent,your answers to these questions reveal your personalities as well as your attitude towards life.D.We often display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty.E.The important thing is to learn from our error,forgive ourselves and move on.F.Understanding what drives perfection is the first step toward releasing this self-created obstacle that keeps us stuck.21.（问答）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.Perhaps you've heard the old saying "curiosity killed the cat." It's a phrase that's often used to warn people,especially children,not to ask too many questions. Yet it's widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveriesand open up new possibilities. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. For example, one day in 1831， Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil （线圈）and a magnet（磁铁）when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. The discovery changedthe world.However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat,coming from technology. On one level,this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore.In addition to this, there's the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides up with. Thenwe feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.The final-and perhaps most worrying-way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our newsvia social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.22.（问答）游客不仅能品尝这里的美食，还能免费观看地方戏曲。
