Grammar and vocabulary (20%)Section ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper from of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology often 21.___________(mistake) for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children 22._________(admit) to college. According to a survey, 23._________(move) into college dormitories, children are still overly-protective. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign 24._________ today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the stage 25._________ this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. 26.__________ parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wa sn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children 27.________(often) if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students can never be financially independent 28._________ their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we 29._________ live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem 30._________(play) nowadays in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it isuseful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.Section BDirections: 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.The title “First Lady of the United States” is given to the wife of the national’s president.

Therefore, her behavior can make her a role model. She can change people’s thinking by supporting a favorite 33._________. The First Lady also has 34. ________ to influential people, including the president. Many First Ladies have used their position and skills to draw attention to, and change, social and other policies, and sometimes events have forced a First Lady to take a prominent role in leading the country.First Lady Edith Wilson 35. __________ many of her husband’s duties after a stroke in 1919 left Woodrow Wilson weak and partly paralyzed(瘫痪的). For many months she decided who could see him, determined which issues required his attention, and passed on other matters to members of his staff. Some people called her the secret president, and many praised her for her judgment.After polio(小儿麻痹症) 36. _________ her husband’s mobility, Eleanor Roosevelt worked tirelessly on his behalf. Franklin Delano Roosevelt began his presidency during the Great Depression. Both he and his wife cared deeply about helping the unemployed and providing 37._________ for the needy.

She visited 38. __________ war veterans, coal miners in Appalachia, slum dwellers, and sharecroppers; she also inspected government projects. During World War II she travelled abroad as America’s goodwill ambassador.Believing that it was vital to inform the public about the president’s and her own thoughts and actions, Eleanor Roosevelt was the first presidential wife to hold press conferences.

Thousands of people wrote to her, asking for help. When she could not answer a letter 39. _________, she forwarded it to the appropriate government agency to answer.Eleanor Roosevelt was an outspoken supporter of civil rights and worked to end prejudice.

It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual world’s specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People’s Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as never before.”56. While visiting the Virtual LoB, the public can ______.A. get a general idea of the LoBB. meet more world-famous expertsC. learn how to put up a library buildingD. understand how the specialists work on the project57. Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens?a. It offers better learning tools.b. It reaches users in different ways.c. It provides users with smart phone.d. It allows users to enrich its material.e. It gives non-stop physical and digital services.A. a, b, dB. a, c, eC. b, c, dD. b, d, e58. This text is most probably taken from ______.A. a computer bookB. a library guideC. a project handbookD. a newspaper reportBIn an article some Chinese scholars are described as being "tantalized by the mysterious dragon bone hieroglyphics." Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). The meaning of the verb tantalize is a very particular one: "to promise or show something desirable to a person and then take it away; to tease by arousing hope." Many (but not all) English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a word's origins in brackets before or after the explanation of the meaning. For tantalize the following explanation is given: [> Tantalus]. This means that you should look up the name Tantalus to find out the word's origins, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king who was punished in the lower world with eternal hunger and thirst; he was put up to his chin in water that always moved away when he tried to drink it and with fruit on branches above him placed just a little bit out of his reach. Can you see why his name was changed into a verb meaning "to tease or torment by arousing desire"?Another example is the word siren, familiar to us as the mechanical device that makes such an alarming sound when police cars, ambulances, or fire engines approach. This word also has its origins in Greek mythology. The traveler Odysseus (Ulysses to the Romans) made his men plugtheir ears so that they wouldn't hear the dangerous voices of the sirens, creatures who were half bird and half woman and who attract sailors to their deaths on sharp rocks. So the word came to be associated both with a loud sound and with danger!When someone speaks of a "jovial mood" or a "Herculean effort," he or she is using words with origins in mythology. Look these words up to find their meaning and relationship to myths.Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology. Wednesday derives from the ancient Norse king of the gods, Woden, and Thursday was originally Thor's day, in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. As a matter of fact, all the planets, except the one we live on, bear names that come from Roman mythology, including the planet that is farthest away from the sun and for that reason was called after the Roman god of the dead. This god has also given his name to one of the chemical elements.Several other elements have names that come from mythology, too.It seems that myths and legends live on in the English language.59. We learn from the passage, all English dictionaries include ________.A. legendsB. mythologyC. word originsD. word definitions60. The example of tantalize is to show ________.A. how the word came into existenceB. how Tantalus was punished in the lower worldC. how all English dictionaries show word originsD. how the meaning of the word changed over the years61. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT have origins in myths or legends?A. Jovial.B. Wednesday.C. Earth.D. March.62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Greek and Roman Mythology in Language.B. Mythological Origins of English Words.C. Historical Changes in Word Meanings.D. Mythology and Common Words.CSpace exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims.When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury—as if saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modem Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up attack on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us—not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can go beyond what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will go beyond theseas well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.63. How did the general public view Kennedy’s space exploration plan?A. It symbolized the American spirit.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C. It made an ancient dream come true.D. It sounded very much like a dream.64. What does the author say about America’s aim to ex plore space?A. It cannot be realized without technological innovation.B. It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.C. It may not bring about immediate economic gains.D. It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds.65. What is the author’s attitude toward space programs?A. Critical.B. indifferent.C. Reserved.D. Supportive.66. What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.B. Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.C. They can be solved sooner or later with human ingenuity.D. They can only be solved by people with optimism and ambition.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on. 67._____________________ Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.Dangerously wrong.A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings.68._____________________Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. 69. ____________________ It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits. These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off. Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Think positive!We know that being nice to peop le all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. 70.____________________ We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.第II 卷I．Summary (15%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.British scientist Isaac Newton (1643-1727) once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” And this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry may have best explained these words.This year’s prize was divided between three scientists –Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage, British-born Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were awarded the prize for creating the world’s smallest machines.How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts (钉子和螺栓) like regular machines, they are made of molecules (分子). Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers (纳米) – one billionth of a meter – much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither overnight, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and delicate that The Guardian describes it as like “building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing (拳击) gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developed a struc ture known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle (轴).And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a motor to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create an actual molecular motor. The molecular machine was powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields like the creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are endless opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tiny micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or deliver a drug, for instance.”II．Translation (15%)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.确保人们生命财产安全是警察的职责。

2019-2020学年上海市七宝实验中学高三英语上学期期中考试试题及参考答案

2019-2020学年上海市七宝实验中学高三英语上学期期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABob and Sue Harvey spent nine years as resident fellows in a dormitory at Sanford and in their bookVirtual Reality and The College Freshman, they write “The Freshman oftenfaces an identity problem during the first semester.” College is a more pressured environment than it used to be, in part because the academic gap between high school and college has increased. Many college freshmen have never had to make independent decisions about sex, drugs and alcohol. Most don’t know how to manage their time or money. They often feel lonely and overwhelmed, resulting in anxiety and depression.Nancy Corbin, director of clinical service for student-counseling (咨询) services at Iowa State University, says her office is seeing a significant increase in requests for counseling from freshmen who are having trouble making the adjustment to college life. She says older teenagers increasingly lack the skills to deal with personal problems that aren’t easily defined or fixed. And they get homesick but have a hard time admitting it.Parents and high schools can make things easier on freshmen by preparing them differently. For example, by teaching them to budget their hours and dollars. The Harveys think high schools should offer a college-life course. “Parents need to focus more on relationship and personal issues and less on how many sheets and towels to take,” they say. Many homesick freshmen think they’ll be regarded as failures if they come home before Thanksgiving. So parents can help by letting them know they’re welcome to return if they feel the need. In the meantime, parents have to find new ways to keep in touch with their college kids. One of the best ways is e-mail. It’s less unpleasant and less expensive than constant phone calls and is more likely to be answered than a handwritten letter.1. Why is the first semester difficult for freshmen in college?A. Because they often fail in exams.B. Because they lack time and money.C. Because they are too homesick to make new friends.D. Because they have to settle personal issues on their own.2. In the last paragraph, it is suggested that ________.A. parents should stop buying anything for their kidsB. parents should develop a good relationship with their kidsC. parents should be taught how to send e-mails to their kidsD. parents should work with high schools in college-life courses3. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Hard Life of College FreshmenB. Approaches to Trouble in CollegeC. Freshmen’s Adaptation ProblemsD. A Strange Phenomenon in CollegeBPablo Picasso was born on October25 inMalaga. Spain in 1881. Taking after his father, Picasso shared apassion（热爱）for painting and art. Even though he wasn't the best student in school, Picasso excelled at drawing. Noticing his amazing talent, Picasso's father, an artist, taught him everything he knew. Before long, Picasso could paint and draw much better than his father. With this rich talent, Picasso paid less and less attention to his schoolwork and spent the majority of his day sketching and drawing in notepads and sketchbooks.When he was a little bit older, Picasso moved twice and was accepted into two fine art programs. However, he didn't care very much for the special techniques they taught and often wandered the streets by himself drawing the scenes around him. After moving to these two places, Picasso moved back home toBarcelonaand decided that he would develop new techniques of art and painting based on what he saw.Later, Picasso decided to move toParis,France, where he began perfecting his own techniques of painting, drawing and other forms of art. His drawings. paintings, and an included pieces about sadness, poverty, classics and self-portraits. One of his major types of work is calledcubism（立体派），which includes art with all sizes of geometric shapes together on the piece of an. This type of art is very important because no other artists had come up with the idea before. Picasso decided to try something new, and as a result, cubismis widely accepted today as a classic style of art.Picasso inspires us to always be thinking. He tells us to think outside the box and come up with fresh new ideas that can change the world. He surely plays a significant role in the art field.4. What do we know about Picasso as a student at school?A. He hated doing his homework.B. He was very proud of his talent.C. He showed great talent for drawing.D. He was often praised by his teacher.5.

The image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.8. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?A. A man with long curly hair.B. A woman with lab glasses.C. A woman in a formal lab suit.D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.9. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?A. The improvement of women^ social status.B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.C. More female scientists appear in the media.D. The increasing number of female scientists.10. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Belief.B. Idea.C. Habit.D. Growth.11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally malesB. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boysC. some children are born with certain stereotypesD. most children tend to prefer female scientistsDBrain cells work to actively forget memories during a specific period of sleep. When we sleep our brains clear out the memories we’ve made while we’re awake, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Forgetting is an active process, explained the authors of the study published in the journal Science. But less is known about this process during the different periods of sleep.They found that during the rapid eye movement (REM ) sleep period — or active sleep when we are thought to dream — special nerve cells appear to actively contribute to forgetting. What are known as melanin-concentrating hormone-producing (MCH) neurons (神经元) sit in the hypothalamus (下丘脑): a part of the brain which helps with a range of functions such as sleep, appetite and emotions. Past research has suggested these cells help to control REM sleep patterns: activating the MCH neurons increasing time spentin this period, while preventingthemreducing changes into this period.The scientists looked at MCH cells in mice, and found 52.8 percent were active during REM sleep, comparedwith 35 percent when the mice were awake. Study co-author Thomas Kilduff, director of the Center for Neuroscience at SRI International, told Newsweek the team was surprised to find that mice performed better on learning and memory tasks when the MCH cells were prevented. “This result suggests that activation of the MCH neurons may affect memory — that is, MCH neurons may facilitate forgetting,” Kilduff explained.When asked what motivated the study, Kilduff said, “We hope the work could deepen our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the neural basis of learning and memory is a huge area of neuroscience research because of its effects on our everyday lives, as well as diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Prior to this work, no one suspected that MCH neurons had anything to do with forgetting,” said Kilduff.12. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Forgetting is a passive process.B. The forgetting process is known to us.C. Some memories are forgotten while we are awake.D. Certain memories are removed while we are asleep.13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. REM sleep patterns.B. Past researches.C. MCH neurons.D. A range of functions.14. Why did Kilduff’s team conduct the research?A. To publish the study in the journal Science.B. To know more about Alzheimer’s disease.C. To contribute to human’s forgetting.D. To explore our everyday lives.15. What can we know about MCH?A. MCH cells takes control of REM sleep patterns .B. MCH neurons may disturb memory consolidation.C. MCH neurons have nothing to do with forgetting.D. MCH cells help mice performing better on learning.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。

Reading Comprehension（30’）AThe big online bookseller Amazon recently announced that less than four years after introducing e-books to its catalogue, it’s now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones. And this past April, Encyclopedia Britannica（不列颠百科全书），the world’s oldest and largest maker of encyclopedias announced it would no longer publish a print edition. Last week, the Pew Internet & American Life Project release d a survey about the use of e-books in libraries. It found that 12 percent of Americans aged 16 and older who read e-books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58 percent of those who have library cards and 53 percent of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e-books from public libraries, even though three-quarters of the libraries offer that service. Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie noted that e-book borrowing is becoming more popular at the same time that publishers-who are selling plenty of e-books and fewer hard-copy editions---are worried that free e-book check-outs at the library will hurt sales. In February, for instance, the big publisher Penguin Books stopped supplying new e-books and audio books to libraries. Penguin just reached an agreement to resume(恢复) supplying one big library system in New York City, but not until six months after they are released. That way, those who want the latest books will have to buy them.So things are a little unclear in the library world when it comes to electronic books. More andmore readers want them, but publishers are giving the libraries a hard time about offering them. Demand’s not the problem. Supply may soon be.91. What do 53 percent of e-book readers fail to find?A. Most libraries offer e-book service.B. They can borrow at least one free e-book.C. Borrowing e-books needs to deposit some money beforehand.D. They do not need another library card to borrow e-books.92. The publishers worry about the free e-book check-out at the library, for it will _____.A. change the reader’s shopping habitB. affect the e-book salesC. reduce the supply of audio booksD. hurt sales of hard-cover editions93. What will the publisher Penguin Books do according to its agreement with New York City?A. Resume supplying new e-books.B. Supply e-books half a year after their release.C. Offer discounted new e-books.D. Stop offering the original service.➢B选项错误原因，原文只为一个纽约市的图书馆供书，并没有全部供应94. What does the author believe according to the passage?A. Books sales will go from bad to worse.B. The publishers will lose more money.C. The book demand and supply will return to normal.D. E-book supply can be a problem later on.95. If you are interested in underwater engineering, you will probably attend _____.A. Story ShowB. DIY Underwater Vehicle DesignC. Make your Own iPhone CaseD. Animal Kingdom for Young Ones96. Animal Kingdom for Young Ones is designed for ____.A. adultsB. children of all agesC. kids under 8 years oldD. children aged 12 and older97. What is the subject of the festival?A. SportsB. ScienceC. LiteratureD. EducationCHappiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and this is perhaps mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level wherever where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when run ning into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.98. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society99. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _____.A. a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB. great wealth with which one can buy anythingC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree that can help one achieve great success100. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _____.A. ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB. ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC. methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD. attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble101. The best title of this passage may be _____.A. What Does Happiness Consist inB. Happiness and UnhappinessC. Different Kinds of HappinessD. Causes of Happiness and UnhappinessDDirections：Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact（互动）with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system.In a market system，individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. _________102F_ _____ In a market, transactions（交易）may take place through barter(易货交易) or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and rice are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sail-boat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange ease s transactions considerably. _______103D___ ___An alternative to the market system is administrative（行政的）control by some agency overall transactions. This agency will issue commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. ____ _104A______ The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each goods produced by the various firms and shared among different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy._______105C_ ___ Every person’s place within the economic system is fixed by fatherhood or motherhood, religion, and custom.

After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you hear. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.II. Grammar and Vocabulary （26%）Section ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form ofthe given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food. Some of them are very widespread.One such idea is that fish is the best brain food. Fish is good brain food (25) ____ ____ it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food. But no one has been able to prove that fish is any (26)______ (good) for the brain than many other kinds of food.Another such idea is that you (27)______ not drink water with meals. Washing food down with water as a substitute (28)_______ chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful. It makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food.Many of the ideas which scientists tell us (29)______ (have) no foundation have to do with mixtures of foods. A few years ago the belief became general that orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same meal. The reason given was (30)_______ the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle (凝结) and become indigestible. As a matter of fact, milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles (31)______; the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion. A similar wrong idea is that fish and ice cream when (32)______(eat) at the same meal form a poisonous combination.(B)It’s one of our common beliefs that mice are afraid of cats. Scientists have long known that (33) ____ ____ a mouse has never seen a cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from it and run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that is hard-wired into a mouse’s brain. But recently Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, (34)_______(challenge) this common sense. She has found a way to “cure” mice of their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature.The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound unfamiliar to you, but the (35)_______(shock) fact is that up to one-third of people around the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseases among humans, (36)_______ pregnant women – it is linked to blindness and the death of unborn babies.However, the parasite’s effects on mice are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat’s urine (尿) before and (37)______ it was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far away from the urine (38)_______ mice that were infected with the parasite walked freely around the test area.But that’s not all. The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally (39)_______ (think) – even after researchers cured the mice of the infection, they no longer reacted with fear to a cat’s smell, which could indicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice’s brains.Why does a parasite change a mouse’s brain instead of making it sick like it does to humans? The answer lies in evolution. Toxoplasma gondii can only reproduce inside a cat. So the parasite had to develop a way of tricking the mice into getting eaten more easily – thus (40)_______ (help) itself go inside a cat –by taking away mice’s sense of alarm.Section B 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. (** 友情提示：本题共十个空，请按题号填涂)nonstop rain, polite manners, boring food and tea drinking?Some of the UK’s (41)_______ stereotypes are true, a new survey has found. For example, British people do have a(an) (42) ______ to drink lots of tea.The research polled 1,402 foreigners living in the UK on their opinions about the British way of life. Unsurprisingly, the majority of them, almost 70 percent, said they enjoyed living in the country –good manners, especially UK people’s extraordinary ability to queue, are the main reasons for foreigners’ (43)______. More than one-third said they liked British people’s restrained (44)______ to emotion.However, there are aspects of British culture that are (45)______ upon. The heavy alcohol drinking culture (46)______ as the least favorite trait, followed by the British sense of humor and the country’s bad weather.It may not be too hard to understand why heavy drinking and bad weather are (47)______, but what’s wrong with the British sense of humor?British humor is known for being dry and satirical (讽刺的), so it is generally more (48)______. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more (49)______ than a socially inappropriate joke, noted the BBC. “Britons are more comfortable with life’s losers,” wrote English actor Ricky Gervais in an article published in Time magazine.“The majority of nationalities have stereotypes fitted around them and Britons don’t escape this,” said Liam Clifford, the founder of Global Visas, the website that conducted the research. “People probably come here with a stereotype-based preconception of what to expect. It’s good to see from our survey, though, that, in the majority of cases, this reputation is actually (50)______ upon living here.”III. Reading Comprehension（47%）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Coffee can be considered one of nature's greatest gifts. It gives mental and emotional (51)______ without harmful side effects, (like alcohol or tobacco), and it contains a wealth of nutrients. Yet, when most people drink coffee, they are not thinking that the beverage is (52)______ their health. In fact, some may even feel a little guilty, (53)______ they believe coffee isn't good for you at all.Well, here's the truth of the matter. Coffee, like anything else, can cause problems if too much is (54)______. In the short-term, too much coffee will cause insomnia, nausea and hypertension. In the long-term, too much coffee will cause stomach problems, teeth staining, and high cholesterol.As for the benefits, moderate consumption of coffee, (which means 1 to 4 cups a day), supplies your body with a wealth of antioxidants. These substances are (55)______ for eliminating free radicals(自由基). They are the chemical byproducts produced any time your body doessomething. A small number of them can help serve as a buffer against negative elements, but if they aren't kept in check, they can cause health problems. Antioxidants (56)______ that this doesn't happen.The psychological effects of caffeine cannot be (57)______ either. Not only does caffeine make you more (58)______, but it can actually affect your mood. If you were feeling (59)______ or overwhelmed, a nice cup of coffee could change your perspective. The stack of work that seemed (60)______ before isn't even a problem now.(61)______, caffeine helps stimulate creativity as it speeds up the body's functioning. That's why coffee is often (62)______ with writers and other intellectual professions. Other drugs (63)______ to make people dumber. Consider what happens when people get high off of crack or when they get drunk off of alcohol. They won't be functional at all. But with coffee, an individual gets a creative boost while still helping their bodies.In conclusion, don't feel bad when you're brewing your morning cup of coffee. (64)_______ a can of soda or a shot of alcohol, coffee will make you feel wonderful while keeping you healthy. Just remember, you do have to consume the beverage (65)______.51.

A. at will B. at random C. in particular D. in moderationSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Once upon a time it was boarding school adventures and mysteries solved by tweed-wearing detectives that fired young r eaders’ imaginations. Now, it seems, it is the promise of tales of blood sucking vampires, unstoppable zombies, howling werewolves and terrifying beasts that inspires young audiences to pick up a book.Teen horror is a genre that seems to be going from strength to strength, with titles like The Demonata and The Saga of Larten Crepsey by Irish born writer, Darren Shan, topping the charts. Indeed Darren Shan’s success has earned him the title of “Master of Children’s Horror” and his books, which also include The Thin Executioner and the vampire series The Saga of Darren Shan, have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.But what is it about horror fiction that so appeals to young readers, and just how scary do they like it?“I think horror allows t eenagers to focus on real-life issues in a fantastical way, helping them analyse and make sense of the world as they are coming to a greater understanding of it,” says Darren. “In my book, Lord Loss, the main character’s parents and sister are slaughtered by demons. While that’s obviously not going to happen to anyone in the real world, many children will lose people they love during their formative years, whether it’s grandparents dying of old age, or friends or relatives in accidents. A book like this can hopefully help them prepare for when death strikes at them in real life. Good horror is always about helping us prepare for the darker aspects of life –and since we can’t avoid them, we might as well turn them into entertainment!”Darren tours frequently, attending events in schools and libraries, and talking to young readers helps him gauge what they can and can’t take in terms of frightening content. He explains: “When I’m writing an especially terrible scene, I imagine myself reading it out in a live environment, and ask myself if I would feel comfortable doing so. If not, I’ll go back and tweak the scene. I have no set formula for deciding what is suitable and what is not. I simply go with my gut instinct.”66. What is the point of the article?A. To recommend some popular horror books.B. To analyze why horror fiction fascinates young people.C. To explore how horror fiction benefits young readers.D. To introduce how Darren creates horror books.67. The underlined phrase “going from strength to strength” in Paragraph 2 is closest inmeaning to ______.A. failing to attract attentionB. improving imaginationC. getting darker and scarierD. becoming increasingly successful68. Darren Shan thinks that his books interest young people because ______.A. they are exciting and inspiringB. they are about the darker aspects of lifeC. they deal with real-life issues in a fanciful wayD. they teach people how to deal with real-life problems69. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A. Teenagers fee l comfortable with Darren’s imagination.B. The more frightening a book is, the better it sells.C. Darren visits schools from time to time to promote his books.D. Darren sometimes changes his stories to make them less scary.(B)70. Which of the following groups is the advertisement NOT intended for?A. Social clubs.B. Businesses.C. Families.D. Largegroups.71. What advantages do you get from having one of the Gift Cards?a. You get further discount on bulk purchases.b. Your card is preloaded with a certain amount of cash.c. You get the best discounts among the three promotions.d. The cards can be used in many cinemas.A. a, bB. b, cC. c, dD. b, d72. What do the three promotions have in common?A. They all have a minimum purchase.B. They are all valid for 12 months.C. They all need to be ordered ahead of time.D. They can all be used on tickets and food73. In which of the following circumstances may a firm owner NOT consider bulk ticket purchases?A. His customers usually don’t place big orders.B. His sales staff cooperate well and perform perfectly.C. He hopes his customers will always pay in time.D. He hopes to be admitted into a social club soon.(C)Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian.At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the p ast, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going – you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence – if we think less, we become less smart.These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.However, Crabtree’s theory has been criti cized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation.”74.What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.C. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.D. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development ofintelligence.75.According to Crabtree, ancient humans _______.A. had much more genes that determine human intelligenceB. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressuresC. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligenceD. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the harsh realities76.Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think _______.A. people today are under much more pressure than early humansB. it’s ridiculous to compare a hunter’s and a poet’s intelligenceC. modern education is far more advanced than ancient educationD. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past77.What is Thomas Hills’ attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?A. SupportiveB. UnfavorableC. WorriedD. Confused.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.Proxemics(空间关系学) is the study of what governs how closely one person stands to another. People who feel close will be close, though the actual distances will vary between cultures. For Amreicans we can discern four main categories of distance: intimate, personal, social and public. Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimeters. This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife. Beyond this comes personal distance. This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters. It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives. Social distance covers people who work together or are meeting at social gatherings. Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters. Beyond this comes public distance, such as that between a lecturer and his audience.All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship. They differ, however, in where they draw these lines. Look at an international reception with representatives from the US and Arabic countries conversing and you will see the Americans pirouetting(快速旋转) backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners. The Americans will be trying to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as “normal”. They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners, though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are being a bit “pushy”. The Arab, on the other hand, co ming from a culture where much closer distance is the norm, may be feeling that the Americans are being “stand-offish”. Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them.The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures too. One study of the number of times people conversing in coffee shops over a one hour period showed the following interesting variations: London, 0; Florida, 2; Paris, 10; and Puerto Rico 180. Not only dose it vary between societies, however, it also varies between different subcultures within one society. Young people in Britain, for example, are more likely to touch and hug friends than arethe older generation. This may be partly a matter of growing older, but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups. Forty years ago, for example, footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today.78. In proxemics, ________ governs the standing space between two persons.79. T he word “stand-offish”(Line 9, Para. 2) means _________.80. Why may Arabs “pursue” Americans in a conversation at an international reception?81. We can infer from the last paragragh that the appropriateness of physical contact also varies with_________.第二卷(共47分)** For translation and guided writing, please write your answers on the answer sheets.2013学年度第一学期高三年级英语期中考试(2013.11)答题纸命题人：孙锦波打印人：孙锦波审核人：谭宏（完卷时间：120分钟满分：150分）第I卷Listening:17. _______________________ 18. ________________________19. _______________________ 20. ________________________21. _______________________ 22. ________________________23. _______________________ 24. ________________________ Grammar:25. _______________; 26. ___________________; 27. _______________;28.__________________29. _______________; 30. ___________________; 31. _______________;32.__________________33. _______________; 34. ___________________: 35. _______________;36.__________________37. _______________; 38. ___________________; 39. _______________;40.__________________Answer questions 78 through 81 in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS:78._______________________________________________________________________________ __79._______________________________________________________________________________ __80._________________________________________________________________________________81._________________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.

He wants to visit all of the more than 400 properties operated by the National Park Service.He spent January 2017 visiting historic areas in the southeastern United States.One of his first stops was Fort Sumter, 21________ former military position in waters just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. Fort Sumter is famous for being the place where the first shot of the Civil War 22________(fire). It is also 23________ the first person killed in the conflict died.After years of rising tensions between Northern and Southern states, the two sides clashed in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861. That was when the Southern army launched an artillery attack on Fort Sumter. Federal troops surrendered the fort a short time later. Union forces eventually fought 24________(regain) control of the base, and defeated the South in 1865. A lone cannon symbolizes the fierce battle that took place on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery opened fire on this federal fort in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, marking it 25________ the day when the Civil War began.As he stood inside the large walls of Fort Sumter National Monument, Mikah Meyer looked across the water to the port at Charleston. He imagined what the area must have looked like more than a century and half ago. "You'll see across that bridge, Charleston, South Carolina. It was under siege at one point for 17 months. There were cannons that 26________ fire from where I'm standing on the fort all the way to the old town..." Meyer also visited the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site in South Carolina. There he had a chance to learn about Charles Pinckney, who helped write – and was a signer of -- the U.S. Constitution. Charles Pinckney was 29 years old when he helped draft the United States Constitution, 27________ he signed as a representative of South Carolina. He dedicated his considerable political and legal talents to 28________(establish) a strong national government. "Some people call him our forgotten founding father, but he was a political figure of early America who helped shape 29________ our eventual constitution ended up looking like..." The National Park Service helps care for what remains of Pinckney's former home and farm. Park service workers tell the stories of 18th- century plantation life for free and enslaved people.During his travels in January, Meyer had a surprise. Barack Obama, in his last few days as president, named a new national park site in Beaufort, just southof Charleston. It is called the Reconstruction Era National Monument. The Reconstruction Era National Monument will help tell the story of post-Civil war America.The Reconstruction Era 30________(stretch) from 1861 to 1898. It was a period when Americans struggled with the treatment of newly freed African Americans. The new national monument will help tell that story.Section BDirections: 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.Dear Colleagues,It is good to join you. Let me begin by expressing my sincere appreciation to His Majesty King Salman and Saudi Arabia for having done tremendous work of communication and coordination to make this summit possible. Facing the COVID-19 outbreak that caught us all by 31________, the Chinese government and Chinese people have been undaunted as we took on this formidable task. From day one of our fight against the outbreak, we have put people's life and health first. We have acted according to the overall 32________ of shoring up confidence, strengthening unity, ensuring science-based control and treatment and imposing targeted measures. We have 33________ the whole nation, set up collective control and treatment mechanisms and acted with openness and transparency. What we fought was a people's war against the outbreak. We have put up a strenuous struggle and made tremendous sacrifices. Now the situation in China is moving steadily in a positive direction. Life and work are quickly returning to normal. Yet, there is no way we will lower our guard or relax control.At the most difficult moment in our fight against the outbreak, China received assistance and help from a lot of members of the global 34________. Such expressions of friendship will always be remembered and cherished by the Chinese people.Major infectious disease is the enemy of all. As we speak, the COVID-19 outbreak is spreading worldwide, 35________ enormous threat to life and health and bringing formidable challenge to global public health security. The situation is disturbing and 36________. At such a moment, it is imperative for the international community to strengthen confidence, act with unity and work together in a collective response. We must 37________ step up international cooperation and foster greater synergy so that humanity as one could win the battle against such a major infectious disease.For that to happen, I would like to put forth four proposals.First, we need to be 38________ in fighting an all-out global war against the COVID-19 outbreak. The community of nations must move swiftly to stem the spread of the virus. In this regard, I propose that a G20 health ministers' meeting be convened as quick as possible to improve information sharing, strengthen cooperation on drugs, vaccines and epidemic control, and cut off cross-border infections. G20 members need to jointly help developing countries with weak public health systems enhance preparedness and response. I propose a G20 COVID-19 assistance 39________ for better information sharing and policy and action coordination with the support of the World Health Organization. Guided by the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China will be more than ready to share our good practices, conduct joint research and development of drugs and vaccines, and provide assistance where we can to countries 40________ by the growing outbreak.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFamily violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse, and identify where abuse victims can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence, education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be controlled or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children.Another cultural change is to reduce violence-related stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, media care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to pr event domestic violence and abuse, “they provide important assistance to low income families and thus support the functioning of these families.” Integrating families into networks of community would also enhanc e family’s well-being and provide support for families under stress.What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglected? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women and children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women byencouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps the women express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelter is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women’s shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services.56. The word “egalitarian” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.A. relating to economicsB. relating to everyday eventsC. having to do with legal contractsD. having to do with equal treatment57.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to directly reduce violence infamilies?A. Cutting down on violence in the mediaB. the AFDC programC. Reducing unemploymentD. Strengthening family ties58. According to the passage, which of the following statements does the writer seem to support?A. Providing women more wealth can largely reduce family abuse.B. Laws must be passed to prevent family abuse.C. Unfair attitude towards women is the only cause of family abuse.D. Women should be equally paid.59. The last paragraph is organized by ____.A. listing the order of events in helping abused womenB. defining the term “safe house”C. discussing the effects of family violenceD. listing social interventions available to help the abusedBMagical Harry Potter CompetitionHow to enterSimply draw your Patronus(保护神）in the postcard-sized space below.

Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations trying to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do with the jo b that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parentswith his optimism and cal m, introducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaking “little comments about light and sunshine and making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“you’re sitting up today, that’s good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesn’t pret end to be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt ex plains, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a powerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company specialized in employee recognition and rewards system.O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a further set of surveys to 1,000 managers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winning work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especially able to reframe their jobs: they don’t view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job may be.63. According to Sturt, which of the following is TRUE?A. It’s not the nature of the job, but what you do that makes a difference.B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.C. Anyone can make a difference in people’s lives no matter what kind of job he does.D. Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.64. According to this passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make adifference in people’s lives?A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.B. By showing his special gift and working experience when working at hospital.C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to patients when entering their rooms.D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.65. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______.A.demandsB. advantagesC. disadvantagesD. limitations66. What can we infer from the passage?A. Great work is work that makes a difference in people’s lives no matter what you do.B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O.C. Tanner for advice.C. Moses makes a difference through his sensitivity and his practical wisdom.D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themselves.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each Sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The simplicity masks deeper layers.B. This is the Mario those who grew up with Nintendo know best.C. Yes, you really can play one-handed.Mario on an iPhone? It worksThis was not supposed to happen. For years, fans had tried to persuade Nintendo, a Japanese company, to put Mario on smartphones. 67___________________________________. Until Dec. 15, when Nintendo released Super Mario Run, for Apple iPhones and iPads. The bigger surprise? Super Mario Run is excellent.68___________________________________________. He is still the plumber who dashes from left to right across fields of grassy blocks, rivers of coins and so on. The difference is that Mario moves automatically as soon as a level loads, animated by an algorithm. Instead of controlling Mario directly, players tap to interrupt his motion and make more imaginative choices. A quick rap (连续敲击) makes Mario hop, while a longer one boosts him twice as high. If you need to clear a crack, tap midair and he’ll pirouette (竖趾旋转) , flying a bit further. It’s intuitive.69_________________________________________. Tap near a wall or when landing on blocks painted with reverse arrows, for instance, and Mario springs backward, letting you break the game’s one-wayness. It’s smart, less-is-more design that plays to the strengths of touchscreen gaming without sacrificing precision. For all its hesitance in embracing smartphones and tablets, Nintendo seems to have had no trouble designing software for them.There is one fairly serious problem with Super Mario Run: the game works only with an active Internet connection. Sever(断绝) that and the game throws up an error screen. 70____________________________________. This means you can’t play Super Mario Run on a plane without paying for wi-fi. You’re out of luck for the part of your subway commute that involves cell-service dropouts.Other than that, Super Mario Run impresses in ways sure to convince that designing games on smartphones is still a rapidly evolving—and improving—art form.第II 卷I．Summary (10’)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.EnvyIt’s a familiar but uncomfortable feeling. Your best friend will marry a handsome doctor, and the congratulatory hug you offer lacks genuine warmth. Your friend is made the t eam for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile but a voice in your head asks, why them and not you?Envy is a shortcoming of character we like to keep in our heart secretly. How shameful is it not to be looking forward with delight to your day as your best friend's bridesmaid! Who would hope your friend might suffer some injury, so you can take his place on the team?Envy is everywhere. It seems to be in our nature to hate others' gifts and good fortune, especially if we see them as advantages they shouldn't have.Envy raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but we don’t possess now. Worse still, we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone's losing what we have always desired. When you compare yourself and your life unfavorably with your friend or your colleague, you can only keep your darker emotions.So, is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to get rid of this most ungenerous emotion? Well, why not make envy the motivation you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with。
