I only wish we didn’t have to admit this, but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what’s wro ng with our society that our children apparently couldn’t care __42__ about law and order.The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples off a basket or a packet of sweets from chain store are nearly over. I have occasion to say this to a you ng offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” he said, “ You must be 43____. That’s kids’ stuff.” I may add that he was aged eleven. In other words, today’s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this des cription. They’ve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want. Anyway, I think we have come to the point where it’s all too easy to put the _44____on anyone but ourselves.Faced as they are with a society that frequently rejects them on the grounds of color, race or low academic ability, these children turn to crime as a means of_45___ their self-admiration. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing(美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to _46___ with these anti-heroes. It is a matter of rising concern to the police that the Children and Young Person Act, 1969, is becoming inadequate to deal with the rise in juvenile delinquency（青少年犯罪）. Because the_47___ has been placed on the cause and treatment of their delinquency, rather than on the old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves are well aware that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to rob, do damage __48__ and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize. I don’t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own 49___ and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “ it’s nothing to do with me” attitude we have adopted for so long. We must unite in a common demand for stricter and more disciplined methods against these young offenders. Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeActually, the artist’s picture books seem to be intended more for adult readers than for children.

Nonetheless, the text, though usually quite short, has its __55___. As a story develops in a series of interconnected images, the short sentences placed alongside them can easily intensify the reader’s __56___. Such feelings involv e no profound realization or sudden awakening, but resemble pure emotions of joy and sadness caused by trivial matters. These matters ar e typically_57____ in our busy modern society, but magnified creatively through Jimmy’s drawing pen.Had it been for the crisis he experienced in his early 30s that gave him new insights into life and art, Jimmy might not have _58____ such a great deal of success.

Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner．In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores．This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication（NFC）gets into America’s consumer electronics．Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public．Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal – a contact – free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction（交易）fees．Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave –and-pay systems that use NFC enabled credit cards, cell phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale（POS）market．Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint venture（合资企业）that will go into operation over the next 15 months．Its goal is “to lead the U．S．payments industry from cards to mobile phone．”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security, For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pick pocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah．A mobile security r esearcher, “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Still uneasy about this digital – wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected, Your wallet isn’t．68．What is predicted to happen in the U．S．?A．The expansion of cellphone companies．B．The boom of-pay-by-phone business．C．The disappearance of credit cards．D．The increase of Starbucks sales．69．The NFC technology can be used to________．A．ensure the safety of shoppersB．collect transaction fees easilyC．make purchase faster and simple rD．improve the quality of cellphones70．Three cell phone service providers form a joint venture to__________．A．strengthen their relationshipB．get a share in the payments industryC．sell more cellphonesD．test the NFC technology71．According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?A．Stop the functioning of their phones．B．Set up a password．C．Get all the money out of their phones．D．Cancel large purchases．CBlind imitation（模仿）is self-destruction．To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable．In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful．When I first learned to cook, I used recipes （菜谱）and turned out some tasty dishes．But soon I grew bored．Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imit ating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and fart her without relying on them．In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously（下意识地）hold poor role models．If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did．If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others．In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities．Those stars look great on screen．But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous．If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors．Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique．Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply．They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation．The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them．Creative people have an endless resource of ideas．The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination．Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve．Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering me on．72．To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________．A．forget daily fear and painB．choose the right exampleC．ask others for decisionsD．stay away from stars73．According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ．A．desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB．ready to turn their original ideas into realityC．eager to discover what their ancestors didD．willing to accept others’ ideas74．The trouble a creator faces is ．A．the lack of strong motivationB．the absence of practical ideasC．how to search for more materialsD．how to use imagination creatively75．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To highlight the importance of creatively．B．To criticize the characters of role models．C．To compare imitation with creation．D．To explain the meaning of success．Section CA. A sense of humor is not an inborn ability.B. A sense of humor can be developed in our life.C. A sense of humor helps us from several aspects.D. A sense of humor means more than telling jokes.E. A sense of humor can be expressed in many ways.F. A sense of humor helps people to better enjoy life.76.As awareness of the benefits of humor increases , most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humor to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way.77.Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour, "eith er you have got it or you don't." This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.78.The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don't rush over and say, "That kid has a great sense of humour!") Your sense of humor is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don't be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself -- then you will make them laugh too.79.Humor includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humor requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life's situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions (定义) of a sense of humor is "the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation."80.There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humor benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humor when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.Section DIn college, Spring Break is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students in communities both at home and abroad.The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy, homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program, has been on fiv e alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a stude nt who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break ex periences.”The Program began in 1991.Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 16 WORDS)81.Who may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program?82______________________________________________ is the aim of the Program83.What is the meaning of the underlined word "transformed" in Paragraph 5?84.What is Samantha's attitude toward the Program?Translation1．我们要想尽办法帮助那些地震灾民。

高三英语9月月考试题 (I)
2019届高三英语9月月考试题 (I)第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second p aragraph means ________.A. great and important; monB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingD. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.C. The less you use your mind the duller you may bee.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former puter science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had bee a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns,I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction— I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, theauthor .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzledD.was very sad.6.The puter science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present jobB.tried to persuade theauthor to work with himC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD.thought the authorwasn't fit to be a teacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleaguesB.life memoriesC.graduates' clothesD.decorations in the hall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacherB.pare two differentgraduation ceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduationD.give advice on how to bea good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone backin your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likelyto distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performingin the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In testson 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague dividedthe subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a puter monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular characteramong a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researc hers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infreque nt internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face munications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.10. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using puters.11. In a face-to-face munication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to listening to others.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.12. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.DEarth’s next superpowerThe following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now they’re about to fly.NIGERIA (尼日利亚)Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil－producing countries, Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.What’s Vietnam’s trick? It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for panies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export－ready goods if there’s no convenie nt way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, puters, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in mon: They’re made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.13.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?A.Kuwait.B.Iraq.C.Turkey.D.Italy.14.What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?A.It doesn’t have money to build new factories.B.Its people don’t have enough food to eat.C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.D.Its transport system is very poor.15.What will Chile depend on to get developed?A.High tech.B.Natural resources.C.Investments from other countries.D.The government’s good administration.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ___16___“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for. ___17___. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university. First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in. ___18___. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas ― skills with people, skills with information and skills with things ― which are your best skills?After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. ___19___.Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! ___20___.A.

ATayka Hotel de SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it's cool: You've stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That's something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal i s made totally of salt-including the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehisto ric dried-up lake which is the world's biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a pas te (糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.Green Magic Nature ResortWhere: Vythiri, IndiaHow much: About $ 240 a nightWhy it's cool: Taking a pulley(滑轮)-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of yo ur adventure. As you look out of your open window-there is no glass! -you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy(罩篷). Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the h andmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit o n your bamboo bed and read. You don't even have to come d own for breakfast-the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.Dog Bark Park Inn B&BWhere: Cottonwood, IdahoHow much: $ 92 a nightWhy it's cool: This doghouse isn't just for the family pet. Swee t Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can rela x in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft(阁楼) in Willy's head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a to ilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant(消防栓) outside.Gamirasu Cave HotelWhere: Ayvali, TurkeyHow much: Between $ 130 and $ 450 a nightWhy it's cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was lik e 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain cave s formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more mo dern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool in summer. (Don't worry-there is heat in winter. )1.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel.BChicago is considering firm measures to prevent the Asian ca rp，a giant fish native to the Far East，from coming into North America’s Great Lakes in large numbe rs．Such a move could cost up to$18bn，a heavy economic burden to the city.This species，more than a metre in length，was originally introduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage(污水)treatment plants．But they escaped into the Mississippi Ri ver and increased in number quickly，making their way north towards the Great Lakes and threateni ng the native fish species along the way.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats appr oach．’’Michael Beecham，a local environmental expert，described how frightening the scene was．“I’ve gone down th e river and seen these fish jump up and hit me in the face．It i s a big problem for our native species.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technological solution to the carp problem，one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal syste m．Listening at the meeting was John Goss，who was worried about the effect that having barriers in the c anal system would have on industry．“It would certainly incre ase the cost of transportation，”he told．“It is currently very c heap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down the Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence．Dir k Fucik is selling carp burger(鲤鱼汉堡包) at his fish shop not far from downtown Chicago．He think s the carps are a great resource．“To catch it and throw it aw ay is a waste，”he says．“Eating them helps solve the proble m and also provides jobs．”But the idea has not yet caught o n．So far，he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers. 4．From the passage we can see the Asian carp___________ ________.A．is very adaptable to the new environmentB．is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes C．is becoming a new food in restaurantsD．becomes even more fierce than before5．From John Goss’s point of view，the building of barriers __________________.A．can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB．may lead to the increasing cost of industrial products C．will help the canal system work more efficientlyD．will bring high profits to the related companies6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passa ge?A．The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list.B．Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago ．C．Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America ．D．Throwing away the caught fish is a waste of the resources ．7．What’s the best title of the passage?A．The Great Lakes，new home for Asian CarpsB．The Asian carp escapes from the Great Lakes C．Possible ways to handle non-native speciesD．Chicago goes to war with Asian carpsCWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense o f humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my h eart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't k now the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always f ound humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest jo b anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any si tuation, but also is common courtesy（礼貌）to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling o n the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the jok e that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just s it there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke？Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under c ontrol. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of ps ychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us fro m going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present worl d. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass t he sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe o ur best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and ha ve some fun laughing together.8. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _ ___________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people’ s spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others9. The author answers the question in the second paragraph with ___________.A. facts and descriptionsB. evidence and argumentC. examples and conclusionD. stories and pe rsuasion10. The phrase "busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be r eplaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _____ _____.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about lifeDAs a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to lif e in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to m ake their lives easier by first making them a little harder. Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and ot her creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and so metimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers. A final unveiling of th eir creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them f ind their place at the school. “It comforts those who are unco mfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable,”Kam au said of Project X.Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed th at many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students a bout how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the cl ub, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally fr om Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X program.“We are going to express ourselves through our words and ou r actions, and that’s powerful,” said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.One student, Frank Ketchouang, 13, wrote, “I am from the wo rld; I am love,” which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ket chouang has been in the United States for less than a year, s aid Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang starte d attending Project X, he had been in the United States for tw o months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, “bu t these students prove them wrong” Kamau said. “You do hav e something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up.”12. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigr ants to_________.A. get over language barriersB. enrich after-school lifeC. overcome tough problemsD. become more creative13. How well the members learn in the Project X program is s hown by_________.A. their annual creative performancesB. their annual scores gained at schoolC. the comments of friends and familyD. the comments of the program teachers14. What do we know about the Imagination Stage?A. It’s established by Kamau for Project X.B. It’s a cooperative partner of White Oak’s African Club.C. It’s a project designed by White Oak Middle School.D. It’s operated once at the end of each year.15. The passage is written mainly to_______.A. introduce the Project X programB. inspire immigrants to never give upC. advocate White Oak’s African ClubD. call for more attention to immigrants第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

高中英语真题：学2019届高三英语9月月考试题_1
学2019届高三英语9月月考试题第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，满分60分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从所给各题的四个选项A、B、C、D 中，选出最佳选项AHave you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would caus e you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plen ty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThis realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan a ccounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban . You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cr uelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quic kly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLet’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is a bout a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her br other dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hop e, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and m akes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide fr om the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cr y, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from c ancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health wor sen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main char acters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It”Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a b oy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel famil y. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration ti ed to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is b elieved worthless.1.What do the four books have in common?A.They are all about cruel wars.B.They all probably make you cry.C.They are all about suffering children.D.They are all adapted from true stories.2.Which book is about a young victim whose family treated hi m cruelly?A.The Kite RunnerB.A Child Called “It”C.The Fault in Our StarsD.The Book Thief3.The passage is intended to __________.A.advise us to buy some booksB.inspire us to read moreC.explain why we love readingD.introduce some moving booksBA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: "Where are the to ilets please?"This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called "silent cafés", where customers are not allowed to spea k, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Ja panese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social is olation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but co vers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to pr oducts such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers sin gle women the opportunity to have a "one woman wedding"—a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, a nd the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression-“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do th ings completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on h er day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly a t the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want t o come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to dri nk a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea o f a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, ho me to an estimated 3.6 million "hikikomori" - a more extreme example of social recluses(隐士) who withdraw completely from society.4.What is special about the “silent cafes”?A.It provides various tea and books.B.It has attracted many popular young people.C.It offers service by writing not by speakingD.People are not allowed to communicate.5.Which of the following statement can’t account for the idea of being alone in ?A.Unstable economic situationB.A change in traditional family support patternC.The rising demand for privacyD.The increasing social isolation6.What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A.She doesn’t like to be a nurse.B.She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C.She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.D.She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Lonely JapaneseB.One woman weddin gC.Social recluses in JapanD.Silent cafesCWe all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should loo k like,whether we show a mouthful of whites or keep our lips c losed and turned up at the corners.When we think of the perfe ct smile,we often picture someone grinning,with all of our teet h showing,but based on new findings,less is actually more.Na thaniel He1wig and his colleagues at the University of Minnes ota discovered that a successful,genuine smile actually rests l ess on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmet ry(对称).For the study,researchers looked at 3D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 study participants.T he computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transfor mations,with researchers changing the mouth angle,amount o f teeth shown,the degree of the smile.Participants were then a sked to rate the models’smiles based on effectiveness,genuin eness and pleasantness.The results of the study found that the most successful smi le had a perfect balance of teeth,an ideal mouth angle,and a s mile length that extended to what was called the“sweet spot”. Smiles that showed a quick sync(同步)of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal(非语言的)communication,making it important to have a grin that will draw people to you and also seem sincere.It’s also worth noti ng that perfect smile could help improve your health too.8.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word“grinnin g”in the first paragraph?A.Talking softly.B.Smiling widely.C.Chatting cheerfully.D.Eating healthily.9.Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles i n the study?A.How pleasant it makes people feel.B.Whether it improves health.C.How successful smiling people are.D.Whether it lasts long enough.10.What makes the perfect smile based on the new study?A.White teeth.B.Smile length.C.Facial balance.D.Lip corners.11.Where does this text probably come from?A.A book review.B.A science report.C.A history textbook.D.A travelling guide.DBooks allow us a glance into the mind of the authors,but whatif we could make a direct connection instead? What if we coul d ask specific questions about their experiences,receive insta nt answers,and hear their stories first—hand?Now,thanks to a library in Denmark,you can check out a p erson as you use a book to find out more about their unique st ories.At the Human Library,you go through some titles and pick one you’d like to know more about.When you decide on a title ,you are taken to a discussion area to meet your human book and have the next 30 minutes with your“book”to learn about it. The downside is,unlike a book,that you don’t take that person home with you.Your“borrowed”human could be anyone—a funeral director,politician,or even a child—with an incredible story to tell.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhag en,Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel,his brother Dany,and som e colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival,hoping t o raise awareness about violence among youth.After the Succ ess.Abergel founded the Human Library Organization.Since t hen,it has spread to more than 50 countries around the world. Though there are a few permanent human libraries,most a ren’t places at all,but events.Even if many do take place at physical libraries,you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience.All that’s nee ded is people who want to tell their stories,and people who are willing to listen.12.The writer raises two questions in the first paragraph to___ _______.A.stress the importance of readingB.draw the readers’attention to the topicC.picture a reading scene of the futureD.invite readers to answer them13.Which of the following could be a disadvantage of the Hum an Library?A.Few topics are available for discussion.B.There is limited time for communication.C.The human book can’t be taken away.D.No instant answer will be received.14.To become a book in human form,one______.A.must present his library cardB.has to be at least 18 years oldC.should go to the library regularlyD.is willing to share his stories15.According to the author,the Human Library_______.A.has spread to every corner of the whole worldB.is an actual place for readers to discuss about booksC.aims to raise awareness about violence among youthD.gives a new meaning to the phrase“I am an open book”第二节七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余Millions of Chinese people have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. ____16______.

It began in June of 2018, when, as part of an effort to fight the enduring problem of segregation(种族隔离), Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his intention (21) __________the testing requirement should be discontinued for admission to the city’s eight selective “élite” high schools. Then, late last month, the Advisory Group released a report (22) __________ (suggest) that the city rethink its entire approach (23) __________ identifying and educating high-achieving children. More accurately, it recommended replacing the gifted-and-talented programs with new initiatives (24) ___________challenge premature children without relying on a test or academic tracking. However, Asian-American parents fearing that the proposed change (25) __________(disadvantage) their children filed a lawsuit to block it.Testing holds great attraction (26) _________ it is neutral, indifferent to a student’s background and wealth. But this is not (27) __________the current system functions. Success is closely related to socioeconomic advantages and access to test preparation. For example, Asian-American students tend (28) _________(rate) lower on the most subjective parts of college admissions evaluations.It’s not clear what the result of the current debate will be. One thing, however, is certain: the competition for places at New York’s élite schools (29) __________(drive), in part, by a lack of faith in the quality of education in other parts of the system. Also, it is seen as a conflict between different social groups fighting for a system in which their children are (30) ________(likely) to be restricted by discrimination.Section BDirections: Fill in each blanks with a proper word chosen from the box.

The app feeds on a collective ____31____ that we are missing out on something, whether it’s a fabulous party, a pop-up sale, or the mere concept of vacation. But the same dynamic doesn’t quite ____32____ to parents sharing pictures of their young children online. There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day _____33_____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____34____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____35_____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____36_____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The _____37_____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____38_____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone ___39_____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____40____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.III. Reading ComprehensionSection 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.The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.A new tech startup is aiming to _____41_____this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called , allows customers across the whole country, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped _____42_____, rather than frozen, thanks to5/ 22an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”There is one thing, _____43_____, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to _____44_____ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. According to the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ____45_____. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ____46_____ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.“_____47____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ____48_____ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was_____49____.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers(鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DeGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.By 1 a.m. each night, the company collects ____50____ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms（算法）_____51____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,”, so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ____52_____, it asks,“Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the _____53____ process. “I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First, _____54____. Fish should have “nice” slime(粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “when fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.Is he ever ____55____being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”41. A. maintain B. remedy C. substitute D. recognize42.

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)On the morning of 19 April 1966, a hooded figure was hiding in the bushes near the start line of the Boston Marathon. When the gun went off to start the race, the mysterious person allowed the faster competitors to pass before joining the main group of runners. It wasn’t long before the others noticed that their new companion was a woman.The infiltrator(渗入者) was 23-year-old graduate Roberta ’Bobbi’ Gibb, an experienced runner who had had her application to run denied on the grounds that the Boston Marathon was a Men’s Division race only. Her rejection letter categorically stated: Women aren’t allowed and furthermore are not physiologically able. Having run up to 30 miles a day nearly every day for the two years leading up to the race, Gibb knew that this was not true. She decided it was time attitudes towards women changed, and bought a bus ticket to Boston.Contrary to her father’s fears that she would get hurt in the race, Gibb’s male counterparts showed her nothing but kindness. Once reporters got wind of her participation, the radio began broadcasting news of her progress. Encouraged by adrenalin and the delighted spectators, Gibb was heading for an under three-hour time for the best7/ 22part of the course, but then she began running out of steam. Starved of food and water, her legs began to falter, and her feet became almost too painful to run on. If she hadn’t known that dropping out would have set women’s running back 20 or 30 years, she may not have completed the course. However, the cheering crowds on the last leg of the course succeeded in lifting her spirits, and she sprinted to the finish in a very respectable time of just under three hours and 22 minutes.On finishing the race, Gibb was treated as a hero: she was met by the governor of Massachusetts, her parents were interviewed, newspapers ran articles on her and she was invited to a TV game show. More importantly for her, she had broken the stereotype that women didn’t run marathons. She began getting calls from inspired women who had taken up running themselves, and in 1967 a second female runner competed in the Boston Marathon alongside Gibb. The following year there were five female entrants, and by 1972, the rules had been changed to allow women to compete in all US marathons. However, by then, if you had asked anyone who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, they would have given you a completely different name: Kathy Switzer.Twenty-year-old journalist Kathrine Switzer shot to fame after competing against Gibb in the 1967 Boston Marathon. On discovering Switzer had entered the race by pretending to be a man, race director Jock Semple tried to physically remove her, and it was this image of Switzer being attacked while running that stuck in people’s minds. Switzer continued running, finishing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon. Moreover, she became a successful media personality. It took Gibb decade of writing letters to magazines, TV stations and book publishers to set the record straight. But in the end, she succeeded in gaining her due recognition and was retroactively awarded first-place medals for her 1966, 1967 and 1968 races.56.The woman is hiding in the bushes __________.A.to cheer on the best participantsB. so as not to be seen at the starting line.C. in order to watch the race unfoldD. so that she has a better view of the field57. What ultimately drove Gibb to finish the race?A. She didn’t want her plan to backfire(发生意外).B. She wanted her parents to be proud of her.C. She wasn’t willing to disappoint the crowd.D. She couldn’t take the shame of failure.8/ 2258. What does the writer mean when he describes Gibb’s running time as ’respectable’?A. He thinks she could have done better.B. He considers it a standard to aim at.C. He regards it as a good time.D. He can’t believe she ran so well.59. What does the reader discover about Gibb in the fourth paragraph?A. Her reputation grew as the years went by.B. She was corrupted by fame.C. She became a household name.D. Her glory was short-lived9/ 22(B)60.When you find a gift in a geocache, you _________.A.make a note of the gift on the website.B.can borrow the gift, but have to return it.C.are allowed to take the gift if you replace it with something else.D.take a photo of the gift as proof that you have found it10/ 2261.The writer thinks that the most enjoyable kind of geocaching is when _______.A.you have to find a public webcam.B.you have to find a series of geocaches.C.you have to find a geocache and then hide it in a different place.D.you simply have to find one geocache.62. The writer has written the blog mainly to _________.A. suggest that people try geocaching.B. publicise a geocaching event in Sweden.C. warn the reader that geocaching is addictive.D. explain the differences between letterboxing and geocaching.(C)The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has raised serious questions about the role of capitalist institutions, particularly corporations in American society. Well before the first protester set foot in Zucotti Park, a heckler(扰乱分子) urged Mitt Romney to tax corporations rather than people. Romney’s response-- “Corporations are people” stirred a brief but intense controversy. Now thousands of demonstrators have in effect joined the heckler, denouncing(抨击) corporations as “enemies of the people.”Far more important than questions about what corporations are is the question of what attitude we should have toward them. Should we, as corporate public relations statements often suggest, think of them as friends (if we buy and are satisfied with their products) or as family (if we work for them)? Does it make sense to be loyal to a corporation as either a customer or as an employee？More generally, even granted that corporations are not fully persons in the way that individuals are, do they have some important moral standing in our society？My answer to all these questions is no, because corporations have no core dedication to fundamental human values. Such corporations exist as instruments of profit for their shareholders. In fact, left to themselves, they can be serious threats to human values that conflict with the goal of corporate profit. Corporations are a particular threat to truth, a value essential in a democracy, which places a premium on the informed decisions of individual citizens. The corporate threat is most apparent in advertising, which explicitly aims at convincing us to prefer a product regardless of its actual merit. Their defining goal is to generate profit. There are cases when telling the truth is the best means11/ 22to advance corporate profits. In 1982, when seven people in Chicago died from poisoned Tylenol, Johnson & Johnson appealed to its credo, which makes concern for its customers primary corporate goal，and told the entire truth about what had happened. This honesty turned a potential public-relations disaster into a triumph. But Johnson & Johnson’s impressive corporate credo ends by saying, “Our final responsibility is to our stockholders and must make solid profit. The credo is unclear about what happens when there is a conflict between responsible action and long-term profit.None of this means that corporations are evil or that socialism should replace the free-enterprise system. As Michel Foucault said of all power structures, it’s not that corporations are bad but that they are dangerous. The self-serving corporate speech that fills our media and halls of government is particularly dangerous for our democracy. At least for this reason, the Occupy Wall Street protesters are right to distrust corporations.63. Mitt Romney most probably believes that ___________.A. individuals should pay more taxes than corporationsB. corporations should not be forced to pay more taxesC. people should care more about corporations’ developmentD. corporations should enjoy all the legal rights as people do64. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, it can be inferred that corporations ___________.A. should be set as moral examples of the societyB. take employees’ faithfulness as part of their goalsC.contribute little to the most essential human valuesD.are actually means by which people share profits65. The 1982 event is cited in Paragraph 3 to illustrate that _____________A. corporations always make profits at the expense of people’s healthB. customers should always keep an eye on the quality of any productC. corporations take economic profit as their priority essentiallyD. corporation profit is always in contradiction with customer interests12/ 2266. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Corporations, People and TruthB.Corporations Are Different from PeopleC.Corporations Are UntrustworthyD.The Occupy Wall Street ProtestSection CDirections: Read the following passage.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A Different Type of Phone BookAlthough books are still popular with teenagers, most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperback. And the more versatile phones become, the more reasons young people have for looking at them. 67. _______ Instead of publishing whole book at once, they produce very short chapters, which they send once a week to their readers by text message. Some even claim that this style of writing represents a new literary genre: the ‘cell phone novel’.Although the idea originated in Japan, cell phone novels have also sprung up in the rest of East Asia, Europe and Africa. Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in. Common themes are love, tragedy and betrayal, and the stories often deal with difficult or13/ 22controversial issues. Twenty-one-year-old Rin said that she started her novel If You during her final year at high school and explained that was the tragic love story of two childhood friends.Rin wrote her novel over a six-month period in spare moments, often while commuting on the train. 68. __________Readers then voted her novel the best that year and she was offered book contract. Her book sold 40,000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list. Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book with her daughter’s name on it.The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium. Chapters have no more than 200 words, and often just 50-100 words. 69. __________ The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct, conveying a lot in a few words. Many cell phone novelists had never written fiction before and many of their readers have never read normal novel. Other rules have evolved; for example, authors only have one name and that is a pseudonym or pen name.In 2009, a young Japanese writer called Takatsu, who lives in Canada, began writing the first English language cell phone novel, Secondhand Memories. Each instalment appeared on , a website dedicated to cell phone stories. Takatsu had read an English translation of Rin’s story If You and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language. It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories. 70. ___________ He now believes that, in English, cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own. Takatsu sees himself, and the other writers who contribute to , as part of a literary movement which blends drama, technology, pop culture and social media. Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction, even those who would not normally pick up a book. They could be described as teen novels for the 21st century.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Early Adopters Fall into a Costly TrapBeing among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. When you’re the only member of your social circle with the latest hot device, people stare in fascination. However, people tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they pay in more ways. Frankly speaking, early adoption is a bad investment. The earliest versions of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and once the profits from early adopters’ purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing stage: selling the product to everyone else. This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about $200 only eight months after its14/ 22release.Those who are first to leap into a new technology also risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. In 2006, HD DVDs, a new format for video, entered the market. A few eager consumers bought HD DVD players that were discontinued in early 2008. The early adopters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat on their shelves collecting dust.Another good reason to resist the early adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has imperfections. For example, when Microsoft’s game machine, Xbox One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began to complain of problems. Devoted gamers worked to find and share solutions to these issues. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid testers.So don’t join the first wave of consumers who invest in the latest version of device; instead, wait and see.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 每个人都应该为慈善出一份力，这无关地位和财富。
