Buthuman beings pose a far greater danger to these creatures than theydo to us. Although shark attacks do occur, they are quite ___65___.On the other hand, according to one research, humans kill 100 million sharks every year. This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out.◆___66___ should we save the sharks?The killing of sharks is a problem for the whole planet. Sharks eat other species (物种), but few creatures eat them. As sharks die off, the populations of the animals that sharks eat will ___67___. This, in tum, means that the populations of the creatures that those animals eat will shrink. That includes some sea creatures that humans consume, such as shrimp. It also includes fish that eat algae (藻类), which can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.Shrinking shark populations affects more than just the ocean. Ocean plants produce much of the oxygen on the planet. These plants can be harmed when changes in the shark population upset the ecosystem◆Don't use shark productsShark liver oil is used in many popular cosmetics (化妆品). Pet foods, vitamins, energy drinks and leather goods can ___68___ be made from shark parts. And shark meat is sold aroundthe world, sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or whitefish.Most sharks killed worldwide are hunted for their fins, which are used to make shark fin soup. The ___69___ is cruel: Fishermen cut the shark's fins off and then throw the shark back into the water. Then the shark dies slowly, sometimes over several days. Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can't swim will dieEat only sustainably (可持续地) caught seafoodSharks often die because they are caught in nets.

In last week's Chitchat, we asked our readers if they could re-select their major--the main subject of study in college, which one they would pick. Here are some of their ideas.If I got do-over(重来), I will make a change＠Jim ZhangIf I got do-over I would choose 1 . I'm really fond of teaching kids. Honestly, I had no idea about what I wanted to do or what I really liked even after graduation. Three years later, I realized that it was a great loss of time to think too much about what I should do, because what I really need is doing it with all heart and keeping on. Unfortunately, I was too young to realize that at that time.If I got do-over, I will 2 .＠AgathaI can get do-over, I would choose my original major. For me, majoring in mathematics was3 . Proving mathematical theories in words was crazy. However, it is mathematics thatmakes me have strong logical thinking. The biggest pity about my major is that I didn't try as hard as I should. In a word, I don't regret choosing mathematics as my major but I regret not learning it better and further.Do-over is not in my list＠tina4 , I don't regret my choice. As an English teacher, sometimes it's hard to improve students' English level. But when I see great progress that students have made, I feel really content. Anyway, every field needs5 .

2021届上海市闵行第二中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析
2021届上海市闵行第二中学高三英语二模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AOlder adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds.Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group.The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older.As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or becomedisrupted— leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep.The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid.The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks.―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN.1. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean?A. difficultB. disorderedC. dissolvedD. different2. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep?A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues.B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal.D It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.3. What can we infer from the study?A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours.B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests.C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain.D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial.BAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCThe Gata used to look annoyed when they received power bills that routinely topped $200. Last September the couple moved into a 1,500-square-foot home in Premier Gardens, an area of 95 “zero-energy homes” (ZEH) just outside town. Now they're actually eager to see their electricity bills. The grand total over the 10 months they've lived in the three-bedroom house: $75. For the past two months, they haven’t paid a cent.ZEH communities are the leading edge of technologies that might someday create houses that produce as much energy as they consume. Premier Gardens is one of a half-dozen subdivisions (住宅开发项目) in California where every home cuts power consumption by 50%, mostly by using low power appliances and solar panels.Aside from the panels on the roof, Premier Gardens looks like a community of traditional homes. But inside, special windows cut power bills by blocking solar heat in summer and keeping indoor warmth winter.The rest of the energy savings comes from the solar units. They don't just feed the home they serve. If they generate more power than the home is using, the excess flows into the utility's power grid(电网). The residents are billed by “net metering”: they pay for the amount of power that they get from the grid, minus the kilowatts(千瓦) they feed into it. If a home generates more power than it uses, the bill is zero.That sounds like a bad deal for the power company, but it's not. Solar homes produce the most power on the hot sunny afternoons when everyone rushes home to turn up the air conditioner. "It helps us lower usage at peak power times," says solar expert Mike Keesee. “That lets us avoid building costly plants or buying expensive power at peak usage time.”What’s not to like? Mostly the costs. The special features can add $25,000 or more to the purchase price of a house. Tax breaks bring the cost down, especially in California, but in many states ZEHs can be extremelyexpensive. For the consumer, it's a matter of paying now for the hardware to save later on the power bill.8. Why is the Gata eager to see their electricity bills now?A. They want to cut down their utility' expenses.B. They want to know if they are able to pay.C. They want to see how much they have saved.D. They want to avoid being overcharged.9. What is special about the ZEH communities?A. They are built in harmony with the environment.B. They have created cutting edge technologies.C. They are subdivided into half a dozen sections.D. They aim to be independent in power supply.10. What does the "net metering" practice mean to the power company?A. More pressure at peak timeB. Reduced operational costs.C. Increased electricity output.D. Less profits in the short term.11. The author believes that buying a house in a ZEH community __________.A. is a worthy investment in the long runB. is but a dream for average consumersC. gives the owner great tax benefitsD. contributes toenvironmental protectionDI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.InChina, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name aChinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries aboutChina's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, forChina, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.12. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.13. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.14. We can infer form the passage that ________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem ofChina's research environment.C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.15. Which is the best title for the passage?A Look for a new way of learning B. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environment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。

上海市闵行区2021届高三下学期英语质量调研（二模）试卷一、用单词的适当形式完成短文 (共10题；共10分)（10分）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.Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. 1．connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People2．(influence) to become technology addicted. One survey reported that "addicted" was the word most commonly used by people 3．(describe) their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time 4．(resist) the temptation of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. I see people 5．(trap)in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-consuming technology, 6．they serve technology more than technology serves them.

When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that "too much of a good thing is wonderful." 9．it's time to discover today's overused technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that "we can be swept away by our technologies," To break the grand digital connection, people must consider10．life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文 (共10题；共10分)（10分）Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that then is one word more than you need.Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity 11．to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the12．of putting models on the cover because they don't sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market 13．, moving from advertising for others' products to developing their own.Celebrity clothing lines aren't a completely new phenomenon, but in the past, they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they're started by first-class stars whose products enjoy 14．fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they try to 15．their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, there's a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer 16．. No matter how famous the product's origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities, it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the 17．attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep is likely to 18．to reduce a celebrity's shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego's (自我的) potential for expansion is 19．. Having already achieved great wealth and public 20．, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.三、完形填空 (共15题；共15分)（15分）完形填空Many things happen when people are ageing. Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin, there isa(n) 21．change which comes with older age. When humans reach their later years, they favour more long-term 22．and their social cirele is reduced.Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same 23．in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their 24．friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social 25．of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps' 26．depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated (分类) the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; 27．friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed 28．the other.When the scientists looked at the 29．of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another 30．seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of31．gradually become less, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers 32．. According to an idea in psychology known as socio-emotional selectivity theory, older humans prefer more 33．relationships because they are aware that time is running out. However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees 34．the human sense of mortality (死亡) , suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the 35．social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, he said.21．A．physical B．intellectual C．emotional D．functional 22．A．habits B．friends C．tasks D．ideas 23．A．problem B．obstacle C．struggle D．behaviour 24．A．established B．respective C．experienced D．thoughtful 25．A．skills B．reputations C．interactions D．positions 26．A．intelligence B．relationships C．popularity D．performances 27．A．easy-going B．warm-hearted C．self-relying D．one-sided 28．A．respect for B．courage to C．interest in D．loyalty to29．A．patterns B．importance C．meanings D．development 30．A．instinct B．disadvantage C．feature D．belief 31．A．responsibility B．aggression C．reliability D．advancement 32．A．delighted B．amused C．relived D．puzzled 33．A．unknown B．positive C．insecure D．senseless 34．A．lack B．obtain C．imitate D．abandon 35．A．absence from B．isolation fromC．decrease in D．distinction in四、阅读选择 (共11题；共22分)阅读理解Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth grader, who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.Most kids have been made fun of by a brother or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to be stopped.Bullying is intentional torment(折磨)in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing(勒索)money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumours about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to make fun of others or hurt their feelings.It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.Sometimes kids bully others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if itshappening.36．（2分）What is the author's purpose of telling Seth's story?A．To introduce the topic of bullying.B．To seek help for the victims of bullying.C．To analyze the cause of bullying.D．To display the effects of bullying on kid37．（2分）What does the phrase "brush it off" (in paragraph 4) probably mean?A．Remove bullying.B．Ignore bullying.C．Avoid bullying.D．Punish bullying.38．（2分）According to the passage, which of the following about bullying is NOT true?A．Bullying is accidental behaviors.B．Those who bully get emotional satisfaction.C．The weak are easy to be bullied.D．The experience of being bullied can lead to bullying.39．（2分）What will the following paragraph most probably talk about?A．Problems of bullying.B．Cause and effect of bullying.C．Signs of bullying.D．Psychological reasons of bullying.阅读理解40．（2分）Which of the following phrases can be put in the blank（in the 4th line）?A．Just Opposite My Opinion B．Joy of Missing OutC．Jump off Mental Obstacle D．Justify Our Main Objective41．（2分）According to the passage, which of the following is a state of JOMO?A．You are busy with a report, so you don't have to attend a staff meeting.B．You are not feeling well, so you are allowed to leave the work earlier.C．You received a dinner party invitation, but you preferred to stay home.D．You were tired out after work, but you heard your favorite song on the radio.42．（2分）The word "zeitgeist" (in the last paragraph) probably refers to ________.A．a mixed or unfavorable feeling toward technologyB．a trend to use new words related to technologyC．the fear of negative influence of technology on peopleD．the lack of ability to use technology properly阅读理解Once upon a time, science fiction was just a style among other styles. There were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fiction, and there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. It's difficult to think of much modern crime, horror or "serious" fiction thatdoesn't involve science.And its not just books. With every second movie and computer game having a sci-fi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. It's clear that if we want to define science fiction, we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives.Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times, it is more reasonable to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, which were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on people's real lives, but on their imaginative ones.Writers began to describe these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create.But sci-fiction reflected fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novels might be a UK novel like H. G. Wells' The War of the worlds (1897). With great skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization-that of men from Mars.The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental challenges, while it is less concerned with "little green men from Mar" and other themes of past sci-fiction.Given that science, technology and polities are always intertwined, contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novels-like American Cory Doctorow's Little Brother (2008)-are concerned with government and security service "conspiracies (阴谋)" against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This can give sci-fi writing a "skeptical (怀疑的)" feel.This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today.As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a paradise. 43．（2分）According to the first paragraph, we know that ________.A．science fiction used to take the leadership in literatureB．horror story and literary fiction have initiated science fictionC．modern fiction reflects the influence of science fictionD．science fiction is the dominant literature style at present time44．（2分）What caused science fiction to appear in the 19th century?A．The curiosity of young readers about the future.B．The changes that the industrial revolution brought about.C．People's stretched imagination affected by their real life.D．People's fears about science rather than hopes.45．（2分）According to the passage, what do we know about the early science fiction?A．It aroused people's curiosity of science on daily life.B．It intensified people's worries about the social problems.C．It promoted people's understanding of the true value of science.D．It conveyed an atmosphere of imaginary anxieties to people.46．（2分）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．Despite the content, the theme of science fiction remains the same.B．The fear of outer space attack has long been a worry among people of times.C．The appearance of science fiction has caused misunderstanding among people.D．Science fiction is weakening government power implemented on people.五、任务型阅读 (共4题；共4分)（4分）任务型阅读Who's in control of your life? Who's pulling your strings? 47．We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry (模仿), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug一we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. 48．Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (成瘾物), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own scheduleand they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. 49．Everyone has different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? 50．We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.A. I's the inner self born in our mind that is keeping us under control.B. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand.C. As a matter of fact, people sometimes fail to understand who they are and where they are going.D. For the most of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community.E.I think there's only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.F. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to.六、概要写作 (共1题；共5分)51．（5分）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.These days, its not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures, office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks, it's becoming more and more common to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults' nostalgia (怀旧)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today's fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio-controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity (不成熟) and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (异常) that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having youthful interests keeps them young, happy and creative, and their refusal to conform to society's acccptable tastes shows independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part of the social trend of delayed adulthood is not purely a personal choice. The real causes include expensive housing, increased educational requirements for employment and poor work opportunities.七、汉译英（整句） (共4题；共20分)52．（5分）天气这么好，周六去植物园野餐好吗？（Why not…）(汉译英)53．（5分）我现在比以前挣得多了，每月支付日常开销后还能存一些钱。
