AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that his buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the l ook of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food pri ces going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.

It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBLying within, the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.POSITION：Science Teacher | KS3 —5| All Science specialists welcomeDEPARTMENT：Popular & Ambitious Science DepartmentLOCATION：Borough of Southwark — Zone 2 — Inner LondonPERSON：Qualified Science Teacher requ ired —experience in UK or overseas trained START DATE：April 2016 or sooner — full time & permanent contract on offer SALARY：Inner London Pay Scale —£29,270 ～£37,862 a yearPERSON REQUIREMENT：All applicants will need to be suitably skilled, trained and qualified to be considered for this Science Teacher position.

The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreadingagainst the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.8. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?A. He was involved in a car crash.B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport.C.

It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life.C. It told us to make the most of given situation.D. It encouraged him to know more about himself11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Escape from VolcanoesB. Inspiration from DisastersC. Love for Earth ScienceD. Attitude towards NatureDBillboard Music Awards of the Year of 2015 goes to Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter, who has shaped and inspired the American music industry with her success.When Taylor Swift first came to public notice, she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her own guitar. She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Award, among which Top Country Album for the five-time platinum（白金）selling Speak Now, her third album was released that year.“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman eve rywhere.”Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You belong with me and White Horse.Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the SpeakNow Wor ld Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad if I’m being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker. “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up.”12.

上海市静安区2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语模拟试题II. GrammarDirections: After reading the passage 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 of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)You know what they say, marriage is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are gonna get. My wife and I had a "ferocious" argument the other night (21) _________ we were watching one episode of the latest season of a reality show called. See You Again. Basically, the show was about three couples [22] _________ (embark) on an 18-day vacation to try to work out their marital issues in the hope of saving their marriages. For them, it was really a make-it-or-break-it vacation.[23] _________ we both agreed on most men's incompetence in expressing their true feelings in any intimate relationship, my still beloved wife and I failed miserably to see eye to eye on reasons for that. She blamed it on men's upbringing while I thought it had more to do with the influence of outdated social norms and stereotypes on men.Our society [24] _________ (discourage) emotional expression in men for ages, telling them they can't shed a tear or show any vulnerability. These outdated ideas about what it means to be a man have messed them up big time. To me, it is no wonder that in the marriage market, the most common type available [25] _________ women is the silent but dominant type of men with the whole breadwinner and homemaker roles still [26] _________ (stick) in their heads. So when things don't go that way, of course, they will feel lost."Intimidated" by my rigorous logic, my wife purposefully shifted the focus of her argument to [27] _________ we two should raise our son and what I could have done better if I had taken her advice seriously.However, things started to get much [28] _________ (personal) when both of us seemed to run out of witty arguments. Realizing this disagreement would lead us nowhere, I wasted no time apologizing to her for my ill-considered words with dignity and offered to clean the plates piling up in the sink ([29] _________ _________ I cooked dinner that night!) Faced with an offer she couldn't refuse, my wife kindly reminded me [30] _________ (not forget) to dry the towel when I was done. Apology accepted, hence case closed.At the end of the day, I exhibited my vulnerability as requested and she showed her mercy as expected. We just agreed to disagree and lived happily ever after.(B)Back then, I was a very nervous new father. I didn't know [31] _________ _________ to feed my son, how hard to pat his back to burp him, or whether it was okay to let him sleep as long as be wants. I bought myself lots of books about parenting, only [32] _________ (find) that there were so many new things to learn that I inevitably begun to feel overwhelmed.My friend May, a soon-to-be mother herself, [33] _________ (sense) my anxiety and, to calm me down, texted me one night saying, "No book can be a substitute for your own sensitive contemplation and careful observation. Books can be [34] _________ small additional value, but no more. Just listen to your son and he'll teach you how to be a father."That struck me a lot because I grew up in a time when most of the parents, including my own, believed that children [35] _________ be seen and not heard. Naturally, I thought he was nothing and only grownups were worth something. The idea [36] _________ children do not know anything but will do so, and are not capable of doing anything but will learn, made me live in a permanent state of expectation. For the sake of tomorrow, I failed to respect [37] _________ might amuse, sadden, amaze, anger, and interest him today. For the sake of tomorrow, I stole years of his life.Things changed for me when I got down on my knees, waiting for my son to open up. Once I came down to his level, I found I didn't even [38] _________ _________ ask questions. I just listened. He granted me permission to gaze into his pockets to see all his cherished collections: bird's feathers, colored stones and oddly-shaped leaves. He also discussed with me about his grand plan to travel to the South Pole with the girl in his class [39] _________ happened to want to marry him. We both knew our relationship was built on mutual respect and trust.Now, seven years later after my son's birth, I still marvel at May's simple wisdom. Being there listening to my son has not only rescued [40] _________ from "those best parenting books one cannot afford to miss" but also from over-evaluating and over-obsessing about him. Simply put, my son has taught me to be a father. I have affection for what he is today and respect for what he can become in the future. All I need to do is to listen.III. VocabularyDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Do note that there is one word more than you need in each passage.(A)A. advantageousB. programmingC. fashionD. fueled AB. advancedAC. sacrifice AD. capped BC. habitually BD. appetite CD. likelihoodABC. unnecessarilyEating a calorie-rich diet brought us humans a great advantage: time. We spent less of the day obtaining food. We saved countless hours of needless chewing. Instead, we invested time in doing the things that make us human: we started to [41] _________ tools, erect structures, share stories, create myths and play games.Calories made humanity possible. Calories are what [42] _________ our big brains. Our calorie-rich diet didn't reinforce the compulsion to eat, it released us from a food-gripped existence. Just because we require calories does not mean our basic [43] _________ compels us to over-consume them, for the same reason that requiring oxygen does not compel us to perpetually hyperventilate. Yes, it may be [44] _________ to carry extra calories in time of famine, but this assumes an overly simplistic view of our evolutionary past.Out there in nature, carrying extra body weight brings serious, even deadly, disadvantages. To the evolving primate, greater body mess means slower acceleration and a(n) [45] _________ in the ability to change speed and direction quickly. Back when we were prey - when our ancestors were [46] _________ eaten by big cats, pythons and even eagles - our ability to nimbly start, stop and turn was crucial for survival. To a predator, a fat human was not only easier to spot and easier to catch, it made for a bigger, better meal. To the prey we hunted, a fat human was easier to evade and outrun. Carrying too much fat also increases the [47] _________ of injury and death due to the forces and loads involved in maintaining a larger body. To put it in the simple arithmetic of evolutionary fitness, being [48] _________ fat didn't increases an individual's chances of passing on their genes. It actually reduced them.As we became more [49] _________ there were even more reasons to refrain from overindulgence. Food had to be shared with other members of the tribe, then the village, then the town, especially with children, whose dependence on adults for resources lasts an eternity compared with other species.Otherwise, the human species would have died off long ago, if we really were slaves to a never-ceasing [50] _________ for calories.All of these have left us with the following paradox: Why were humans generally able to resist vastly over-consuming calories up until about fifty years ago?Quoted from Mark Schatzker's The End of Craving(B)A. nestingB. signalsC. accessibleD. overnight AB. decisively AC. illiteratesAD. literally BC. unaware BD. motivated CD. accused ABC. terrifying The good news is that today's teenagers are greedy readers and productive writers. The bad news is that what they are reading and writing are text messages.It's an unmissable trend. Even if you don't have teenage kids, you'll still see other people's offspring wandering around, their eyes averted, tapping away, totally [51] _________ of their surroundings. Take a group of teenagers to see the eight wonders of the world. Chances are that they'll [52] _________ be texting all the way, even if it means missing all those awe-inspiring moments. Show a teenager Jan Vermeer's The Girl with a Pearl Earring. You might get a quick glance before a buzz [53] _________ the arrival of the latest SMS.Now before I am [54] _________ of throwing stones in a glass house, let me confess. I probably send about 50 texts a day, and I receive what seem like 200. But there is difference, I also read books. It's a quaint old habit I picked up as a kid, in the days before cellphones began [55] _________ in the palms of the young.According to a survey carried about in 2019, half of today's teenagers don't read books except when they're made to. What is more [56] _________ to me as a high school teacher is the fact that almost two-thirds of high school freshmen read for pleasure for less than an hour per week. Nearly half of seniors don't read for pleasure at all.Why does this matter? Because, to some extent, this texting craze can and will produce a large number of cultural [57] _________ who are cut off from the civilization of their ancestors if we don't take some necessary measures.So how can we encourage our teenagers to read books? Whether in the classroom or at home, one of the best ways to promote reading is by reading together. Another way to encourage reading is to helpteenagers set a goal to read a certain number of books or read books from a certain genre. This will help them stay focused and [58] _________ to read. For instance, if your child loves playing football, read the storybook related to football. Or if your child loves going on walks, take along some picture books to read along the way. By making reading more [59] _________ and fun, we can foster a love of reading in them.But don't expect children to fall in love with reading [60] _________. When it comes to reading, trust the process.IV. ClozeDirections: 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.(A)Facing AI extinctionIn a recent White House press conference, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn't suppress her laughter at the question: Is it "crazy" to worry that "literally everyone on Earth will die" due to artificial intelligence? [61] _________, the answer is no.While AI pioneer such as Alan Turing cautioned that we should expect "machines to take control", many contemporary researchers [62] _________ this concern. In an area of unprecedented growth in AI abilities, why aren't more expects weighing in?Before the deep-learning revolution in 2012, I didn't think human-level AI would emerge in my lifetime. I was familiar with arguments that AI systems would insatiably seek power and resist shutdown -- and obvious [63] _________ to humanity if it were to occur. But I also figured researchers must have good reasons not to be worried about human [64] _________ risk (x-risk) from AI.Yet after 10 years in the field, I believe the main reasons are actually cultural and historical. By 2012, after several hype cycles that didn't pan out, most AI researchers had stopped asking 'what if we succeed at replicating human intelligence", [65] _________ their ambitions to specific tasks like autonomous driving.When concerns resurfaced outside their community, researchers were to quick to dismiss outsiders as [66] _________ and their worries as science fiction. But in my experience, AI researchers are themselves often ignorant of arguments for AI x-risk.One basic argument is by analogy: humans' [67] _________ abilities allowed us to out-compete other species for resources, leading to many extinctions. AI systems could likewise deprive us of the resources we need for our survival. Less [68] _________, AI could displace humans economically and, through its powers of manipulation, politically.But wouldn't it be humans wielding AIs as tools who end up in control? Not necessarily. Many people might choose to deploy a system with a 99 per cent chance of making them phenomenally rich and powerful, even if it had a 1 per cent chance of [69] _________ their control and killing everyone.Because no safe experiment can definitively tell us whether an AI system will actually kill everyone, such concerns are often dismissed as unscientific. But this isn't an excuse for ignoring the risk. It just means society needs to reason about it in the same way as other complex social issues. Researchers also emphasize the difficulty of predicting when AI might [70] _________ human intelligence, but this is an argument for caution, not complacency.Attitudes are changing, but not quickly enough. AI x-risk is admittedly more [71] _________ than important social issues with present-day AI, like bias and misinformation, but the basic solution is the same: regulation. A robust public discussion is long overdue. By refusing to engage, some AI researchers are neglecting [72] _________ responsibilities and betraying public trust.Big tech sponsors AI ethics research when it doesn't hurt the bottom line. But it is also lobbying to exclude general-purpose AI from E. U. regulation. Concerned researchers recently called for a(n) [73]_________ in developing bigger AI models to allow society to catch up. Critics say this isn't politically realistic, but problems like AI x-risk won't [74] _________ just because they are politically inconvenient.This brings us to the ugliest reason researchers may dismiss AI x-risk: funding. Essentially every researcher (myself included) has received funding from big tech. At some point, society may stop believing reassurances from people with such strong conflicts of [75] _________ and conclude, as I have, that their dismissal betrays wishful thinking rather than good counterarguments.61. A. Comfortingly B. Unfortunately C. Accidentally D. Luckily62. A. express B. feel C. downplay D. highlight63. A. threat B. boost C. disgrace D. contribution64.

A. interest B. religion C. taste D. law(B)One of the first things that happens when you publicly declare yourself a feminist is that you start getting asked a lot of questions. If you're anything like me, these probes into your [76] _________ beliefs will leave you a mumbling mess. I have read enough books and academic essays on feminism to [77] _________ a fairly substantial library, and yet as soon as I'm asked to sum it up I started sweating and string together a few [78] _________ sentences before loudly shouting 'because Beyonce' and running to get another drink.To save you from this [79] _________ fate I have put together a collection of the feminist comebacks I wish I'd thought of in the moment. Rip out this page, keep it in your pocket and whip it out next time you're stuck with a drunk man at a party. Because it will come into [80] _________.WHAT EVEN IS 'FEMINISM?'Great question! It's actually something I'm really passionate about. Feminism is a centuries-old social movement fighting for the [81] _________ of the sexes. Inter-sectional feminists believe that all people are [82] _________ to the same rights, and they fight to end all discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, skin colour, ethnicity, religion or lifestyle.THIS FEMINISM IS POLITICAL [83] _________ GOND MAD! CAN'T YOU TAKE A JOKE?...at question! Thanks for checking! You're mistaken. I love jokes. I've got one for you ...Knock, knock!Who's there?Annie.Annie who?Annie thing you can do I can do for 18.4% less pay!Ha, ha, ha. But, jokes aside, political correctness gets a bad rap（恶评）, but all it really [84]_________ is minority groups asking that they not feel marginalized and hurt by everyday conversation or the media. I love comedy - in fact it is one of my favourite things. But I'm afraid that jokes that offend women, people of colour, disabled people, trans people or others in the LGBTQ community just aren't [85] _________ to me at all. Let's chat when you come up with some better material, preferably something that doesn't offend my friends!I'M A MAN AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE ALL THIS FEMINISM IS MAN-HATING. CAN MEN BE FEMINISTS?Great questions! I'm sorry that a(n) [86] _________ of the feminist movement in the mainstream media has led you to feel this way. Of course men can be feminists.The sad fact is that we've all been socialized from birth to accept sexism as a part of life and, as a result, women can actually be just as [87] _________ as men. Institutionalized sexism hurts men as well as women. It tells men that they aren't allowed to show [88] _________, that they have to be successful and powerful in order to succeed, and that they aren't allowed to like the colour pink!Feminism is the fight to [89] _________ all these things and also to ensure that women are given fundamental human rights like education and reproductive freedom. Feminists truly believe that if we lived in a world without gender-based oppression, we'd all be so much happier. So even if you're only joining for purely [90] _________ reasons, we'd love to have you as a part of the gang!Quoted from Scarlett Curtis' Feminists Don't Wear Pink and Other Lies76.

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)Harry woke at five o'clock the next morning and was too excited and nervous to go back to sleep. He got up and pulled on his jeans because he didn't want to walk into the station in his wizard's robes - he'd change on the train. He checked his Hogwarts list again to make sure he had everything he needed, saw that Hedwig was safely shut in her cage and paced the room, waiting for the Dursleys to get up. Two hours later, Harry's huge, heavy truck had been loaded into the Dursley's car, Aunt Petunia had talked Dudley into sitting next to Harry and they had set off.They reached Kind's Cross at half past ten. Uncle Vernon dumped Harry's trunk on to a trolley and wheeling it into the station for him. Harry thought this was strangely kind until Uncle Vernon stopped dead, facing the platforms with a nasty grin on his face.'Well, there you are, boy. Platform nine -- platform ten. Your platform should be somewhere in the middle, but they don't seem to have built it yet, do they?'He was quite right, of course. There was a big plastic number nine over one platform and a big plastic number ten over the one next to it, and in the middle, nothing at all.'Have a good term,' said Uncle Vernon with an even nastier smile. He left without another word. Harry turned and saw the Dursleys drive away. All three of them were laughing. Harry's mouth wentrather dry. What on earth was he going to do? He was starting to attract a lot of funny looks, because of Hedwig. He'd have to ask someone.He stopped a passing guard, but didn't dare mention platform nine and three-quarters. The guard had never heard of Hogwarts and when Harry couldn't even tell him what part of the country it was in, he started to get annoyed, as though Harry was being stupid on purpose. Getting desperate, Harry asked for the train that left at eleven o'clock, but the guard said there wasn't one. In the end the guard strode away, muttering about time-wasters. Harry was now trying hard not to panic. According to the large clock over the arrival boards, he had ten minutes left to get on the train to Hogwarts and he had no idea how to do it; he was stranded in the middle of a station with a trunk he could hardly lift, a pocket full of wizard money and a large owl.Hagrid must have forgotten to tell him something you had to do, liking tapping the third brick on the left to get into Diagon Alley. He wondered if he should get out his wand and start tapping the ticket box between platforms nine and ten.Quoted from JK. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone91. Harry woke up so early in the morning probably because he _________.A. wanted to try on his new jeansB. needed to put Hedwig back in her cageC. was asked to get prepared beforehandD. looked forward to his new life of Hogwarts92. The word "panic" in the last but one paragraph might mean "_________".A. rageB. fearC. regretD. complain93. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Uncle Vernon had always treated Harry kindly and cared very much for him.B. Harry arrived at the train station an hour before the scheduled departure time.C. The Dursleys were happy to get rid of Harry and see him stuck in embarrassment.D. Harry completely forgot how to find the way to Platform nine and three-quarters.(B)Have you ever heard someone describe themselves an an INTJ or an ESTP and wondered what those cryptic-sounding letters could mean? What these people are referring to is their personality type based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-report inventory designed to identify aperson's personality type, strengths, and preferences. The questionnaire was developed by Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs based on their work with Carl Jung's theory of personality types. Today, the MBTI inventory is one of the most widely used psychological instruments in the world.Based on the answers to the questions, people are identified as having one of 16 personality types. No one personality type is "best" or "better" than another. It isn't a tool designed to look for dysfunction or abnormality. Instead, its goal is to allow people to further explore and understand their own personalities including their strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences, and compatibility with other people. The questionnaire itself is made up of four different scales.1. Are you outwardly or inwardly focused? Extraversion / IntroversionExtroverts are energized by people, enjoy a variety of masks, a quick pace, and good at multitasking while introverts often like working alone or in small groups, prefer a more deliberate pace, and like to focus on one task at a time.2. How do you prefer to take in information? Sensing / IntuitionSensors are realistic people who like to focus on the facts and details, and apply common sense and past experience to figure out practical solutions to problems while intuitives prefer to focus on possibilities and the big picture, easily see patterns and dseek creative solutions to problem.3. How do you prefer to make decision? Thinking / FeelingThinkers tend to make decisions using logical analysis, objectively weigh pros and cons, and value honesty, consistency, and fairness while feelers tend to be sensitive and cooperative, and decide based on their own personal values and how others will be affected by their actions.4. How do you prefer to live your outer life? Judging / PerceivingJudgers tend to be organized prepared, like to make and stick to plans, and are comfortable following most rules while perceivers prefer to keep their options open, like to be able to act spontaneously, and like to be flexible with making plans.94. The purpose of MBTI is to help people _________ .A. better understand their unique featuresB. find a topic to socialize with othersC. easily put themselves in a fixed categoryD. self-diagnose mental health issues95. According to the passage, we can infer that _________.A. Carl Jung is the co-founder of MBTI testB. MBTI can be used in career planningC. Some personality types are better than othersD. introverts may feel boosted at a party96. Suppose Eric is an ISFP, his ideal occupation might be a(n) _________.A. entrepreneurB. accountantC. programmerD. writer97. This passage might be taken from a _________.A. psychology textbookB. popular magazineC. news releaseD. business report(C)We all know the importance of education. Everyone aspires to have a good one, but its quality and availability is not the same for all. This situation changes as social, economic and political conditions change and technological development provides new benefits and threats.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.One threat is the widening wealth gap, with more intense pockets of extreme privilege and deprivation. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools aimed to offer everyone equal access to education.Another trend is the rising affluence in Asia. It's suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in China and India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question "What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools?"Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop a good life for themselves. But that can be a challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: "How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world? Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values?"Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who's going to pay for it all? The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be replicated by machines? And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet?These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest children who don't even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.。

ABikes are popular in the Netherlands.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bik e designer,Thomas,has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.The big bike has eight sets of pedals（踏板） for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,he’s sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats.Along with the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike,it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.1.How do people in the Netherlands usually go to work?A.By car.B.By bus.C.By bike.D.On foot.2.The school buses are yellow in the Netherlands because ______.A.the color yellow is easy to paintB.yellow buses can be seen easilyC.yellow is the national color of the NetherlandsD.it's the designer's favorite color3.Which country of the followin g hasn’t bought a school bus bike?A.America.B.Germany.C.England.D.Belgium.4.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Thomas made a new kind of school bus.B.A school bus usually costs $25,000.C.Thomas sold bikes to Asian countries.D.Riding school bus bikes helps keep kids healthy.BStephen Hawking was born in Oxford,England on 8th January,1942.He went to school in St Al bans—a small city near London. Although he did well,he was never top of his class. After leaving school,Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics,then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学).As he himself admitted he wasn't very serious about studying. He was a very lazy student,and did very little work. However,he still achieved extremely good marks （分数）.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him at the age of 20.He started to bump into（碰撞） things,and often fell over for no reason. When he visited his family at Christmas time,his father was so worried that he was sent to hospital for test. Finally,the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease(运动神经元病),an incurable（无法治愈的） illness which causes the muscles of the body to waste away. Doctors said he would die before he was 23.At first,Hawking became extremely depressed (忧郁的).After a while,though,he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness had been diagnosed (诊断),there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortlyafter I came out of hospital,I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married,found a job at Cambridge University,where he still works today,and had three children. He also went to do some of the most important scientific research ever carried out.His story shows that nobody,however bad their situation is,should lose hope,“Life is not fair（公平的）,” he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in the situation you are in.”5.As a university student,Stephen Hawking ________.A.worked extremely hardB.studied moths and chemistryC.was lazy and did very little workD.only achieved average marks6.Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when ________.A.he visited his family at Christmas time one yearB.he was 20C.his father made him see a doctorD.he was sent to hospital for test7.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A.Hawking's education.B.Hawking's reaction(反映) to being seriously ill.C.Hawking's views on life.D.Diagnosis of Hawking's motor neurone disease.8.Hawking believes that ________.A.you should always do your best however bad your situation isB.life is fairC.nobody's life is as bad as hisD.it's OK to lose hopeCRecently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean (地中海), swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was ridiculously beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted（点缀） with storybook sailboats(帆船) were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn't believe my eyes.My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do“one day". It was one of the things we talked in detail（详细地） about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on(兑现,实现) those plans.We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning.We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange（安排） time off from work. We renewed our passports（护照）, and then packed our bags.We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse（多样的）, and how fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes (刹车) on our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine（安排） of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out (休息时间).It was a wonderful two months in Europe, full of incredible（难以置信的） moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we'll be glad we did it. I know we'll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.9.What was the author's attitude toward the trip when planning it?A.Calm.B.Expectant（期待的）.C.Stressed.D.Worried.10.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A.Preparing for the vacation.B.Having fun in the picture-perfect Mediterranean.C.Experiencing a different and beautiful world.D.Learning to study during trips as young adults.11.What was the main purpose of the author taking this trip?A.To allow her children to see the world.B.To teach her kids to value life.C.To teach her kids what they can't learn in school.D.To enjoy a family break away from their usual busy life.12.How did the author feel after her two months in Europe?A.Exhausted（精疲力尽的）.B.Satisfied.C.Disappointed.D.ProudDWhether they're playing on our TV screens or printed in newspapers, adverts （广告） are everywhere.In fact, according to US market research company Yankelovich, the average person living in a city sees thousands of ads every single day.However, ads don't just act as a tool for getting people to buy things; they also serve as a window into cultures, societies and history.Modern adverts began to appear in the 18th and 19th centuries, since advances in printing techniques allowed more detailed images to be produced in newspapers and magazines. Looking at some of these early ads is like taking a step back in time to another world.For example, an 1881 advert for French cigarettes promised that its product would “give immediate relief” to a list of medical conditions, including breathing problems. And a US ad from a 1955 newspaper advised mothers to mix the sugary soft drink A7 Up with their baby's milk.These days, of course, the harmful effectsof both smoking and sugary drinks are well known. But although these adverts seem unusual to us now, perhaps future generations may consider some of today's ads to be just as bizarre.“Advertising often serves as an indicator（指示） for what society considers to be socially acceptable and desirable at the time,” US marketing expert（专家） wrote on the Ad Council's website.In spite of being designed to sell or advertise something, some ads can even become part of a society's vernacular (方言).In the UK, for example, a slogan(标语) created in 1994 to advertise paint is used in everyday conversation by many Britons（英国人）. The phrase, “It does exact ly what it says on the tin", is used to describe an item or product that's open, straightforward and simple. Meanwhile, also in the UK, if someone describes themselves as a “Marmite person”, this means that you may either love them or hate them, based on t he British food Marmite's slogan, “Love it or hate it.”So, in spite of what we may think of them, it seems that ads are a bigger part of everyday life than we think they are.Instead of finding them annoying, however, at least we can be assured that future generations will have an interesting way to see how we lived - no matter how unusual today's world may seem to them.13.What does the underlined word“bizarre” in Paragraph 9 probably mean?A.Typical.B.Creative.C.Strange.D.Misleading（误导的）.14.The examples of the two British phrases are mentioned mainly to ____.A.prove most ads in the past were simpleB.show ads can influence everyday languageC.explain why some ads are very popularD.show that British people love to use words from ads15.What's the article mainly about?A.The history of modern adverts.B.The changing roles of ads.C.How ads reflect history and societies.D.Ads that have influenced our lives.II.阅读七选五（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。

Instead of paddling an small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different; withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by handing the iPad to my wife.The cell phone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧). I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from email, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio-and how much radio can one listen to, really I had no choice but to do what I had planned to all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem.I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “Don’t need it,” I said.However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test beg ins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to check my email every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.4. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.D. He hated himself for acting like he was at work while vacationing.5. What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?A. He handed his iPad to his wife.B. He cut off his cellphone signal.C. He refused to cheat in his house.D. He listened to the radio most of the time.6. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ____.A. stay away from the Internet for everB. continue to read more and more booksC. keep control of when and how to use the Internet.D. stop checking what is being said right now completely.7. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overrated.C. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wished to.D. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.8. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.9.. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.10.. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.11. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.DWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatileorganic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.13. What d oes the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.14.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary15.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.第二节七选五（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。

ABook InformationChildren's Day is coming. Here is some information about children's books in our bookshop.1.How much is All I Want for Christmas Is You?A.$17.99.B.$18.99.C.$20.99.D.$22.99.2.Who is the writer of A Bear's Year!A.Mariah Carey.B.Kathy Duval.C.Exupéry. S.D.Guo Jing.3.Which book is for the children of 11-14 years old?A.All I Want for Christmas Is You.B.A Bear's Year.C.The Little Prince.D.The Only Child.4.The above information is about____.A.Children's moviesB.Children's toysC.Children's shoesD.Children's booksBHonesty is the best policy. We may agree that admitting mistakes and behaving in a genuine way is the right way to lead our lives, but is there something in our human nature that makes us immoral? For example, in some shops and car parks you can find an honesty box — a box where you pay for something by putting money in it —but it relies on you putting the right amount of cash in. This relies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amount.Philip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our evolution. He says, “We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. It’s part of our evolutionary psychological make-up because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving.”So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? It’s because it is self ish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place. As Philip Graves says, “There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized (排斥) by the group.” So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and therefore we need to be honest.Being trustworthy with money is of course vital for an economy to survive. But being honest with words is another matter, saying what we think to someone can get us into hot water. However, a new anonymous messaging app has been designed that lets anyone with a link to your profile (简介) send you a message without knowing who it’s from. The app now has 300 million users whic h perhaps indicates how honest we really like to be — but in all honesty, do you want to know what people think about you? Is honesty always the best policy?5.What does an honesty box require people to do?A.Get the change out of it freely.B.Put the correct amount of money in it.C.Donate the pocket money to others.D.Pay a larger amount of money.6.According to Philip Graves, being dishonest________.A.is a disadvantageB.should be advocatedC.is part of our evolutionD.helps people survive7.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The reason for being honest.B.The benefit of being dishonest.C.The outcome of selfishness.D.The importance of group work.CAs a kid,I wanted to be a naturalist. When I got to college, I chose what I thought was a more practical path, studying physics along with public policy. That combination led me to atmospheric sciences. Now I'm studying low clouds.But I didn't really notice low clouds until I started my study at the University of Washington, in Seattle. That city had a lot of low clouds. I suddenly realizedhow important their reflection of heat back into space was for Earth's climate. I continued studying how clouds at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There I earned my PhD.Seattle's skies may be home to plenty of low clouds, but there are even better places to spot these little clouds. The greatest gatherings tend to occur off the coasts of places like Namibia, in Africa, and northern Chile. These places are home to some of Earth's driest deserts. And I like visiting such places.The more I learned about these little clouds, the more fascinating I found them. I'm really interested in the various ways these low clouds respond to their environment. Because there are so many low clouds and they help keep Earth cool by reflecting(反射) heat, anything that affects them can also affect overall climate. It feeds back to the whole energy balance of the planet.Lately I've been exploring how smoke that drifts(漂浮 )over clouds might change the way that these clouds absorb or reflect sunlight. Such smoke -from burning trees and grasses-can drift thousands of kilometers. If that smoke affects clouds, it might also affect climate. Last year, I spent a month on distant Ascension Island in the South Atlantic Ocean setting up instruments to track the interaction(相互作用) between low clouds there and smoke from southern Africa.I appreciate the diversity in my work. Besides the occasional trip to distant islands, I also teach and work with other scientists to better understand Earth's climate system. Along the way, I'm helping bring one type of low clouds to the attention it deserves.8.What do we know about the author?A.She learned three majors at the same time in college.B.She wanted to study low clouds when she was a kidC.She knew the importance of low clouds when in universityD.She was always worried about climate change in the world9.Why does the author like visiting places like Namibia and Northern Chile?A.Because she enjoys views of deserts.B.Because she loves visiting beautiful coasts.C.Because she has got tired of Seattle's skies.D.Because they're great places for observing low clouds.10.What was the author's purpose in spending a month on Ascension Island?A.To study smoke' s effect on low cloudsB.To find the real causes of climate change.C.To set up instruments for other scientistsD.To study theinfluence of low clouds on climate.11.What does the underlined word"diversity "in the last paragraph mean?A.The fact of being very specialB.The fact of working by oneselfC.The fact of being respected by othersD.The fact of including some different things.DDerek Rabelo is not the only surfer(冲浪手)to conquer Hawaii's famous pipeline big wave break ,but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blind When Derek was born over 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Ernesto dreamed that his son would share the talent(才干) of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn't actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emesto's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that's exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.12.What does the first paragraph tell us?A.Good eyesight is necessary for becoming good suffers.B.Nobody has ever conquered Hawaii's big wave break.C.Derek Rabelo dreams to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.D.Derek Rabelo is the only blind professional surfer to conquer Hawaii's big wave break.13.How did Ernesto behave after Derek was born?A.He never lost confidence in him.B.He named him after his uncle.C.He sent him to a surfing champion.D.He started his own interest in surfing.14.After Derek was able to stand up on the surfboard, what did he do?A.He began to try riding a waveB.He was no longer afraid of waterC.He realized he still had a long way to goD.He knew his father's dream had come true15.Which of the following words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A.Skillful but proudB.Brave and confident.C.Courageous but stubborn.D.Thoughtful and modest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

AHow to become a conservation officer: Jade's storyPart1 : J ade’s storyHi, I'm Jade. I'm 20 years old and I'm an apprentice conservation officer. Conservation is protecting the natural environment and trying to make it thrive and flourish as much as possible. My job really is to try and get as many people engaged in nature as possible and doing an apprenticeship like this, which is so diverse, really means that I can try every different area of this job out and see which fits me the best. And it means that I also get paid at the same time. I've always been a massive animal lover. I love being so close to them and observing the behaviours and I love the enthusiasm.This job has helped me vastly from day-to-day stress and anxiety, to just general happiness, I'm in such a better place because of it. I'm working with so many amazing supportive people and I really couldn’t be happier right now!Part 2: What to expect if you want to be a conservation officerWhen Jade finishes her apprenticeship, she will be a conservation officer. A role similar to Jade's is a countryside officer.●Countryside officer salary: ￡18,000 to ￡50,000 per year●Countryside officer working hours: 39 to 41 hours per week●Typical entry requirements: To do an advanced apprenticeship in environmentalconservation like Jade’s, you'll usually need 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education or equivalent at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), including English and Maths.Paid or unpaid work experience can be very useful when applying for jobs.Organisations like the Conservation Volunteers, the National Trust and the WildlifeTrusts offer training for volunteers.1.In what ways does the job help Jade?A.By providing her with one-on-one training.B.By improving her confidence in protecting nature.C.By helping her relieve the pressure and stress.D.By training her in finding different types of jobs.2.Why does the text mention the countryside officer salary?A.Because it can attach importance to the job.B.Because it can call on people to apply for the job.C.Because it can show the popularity of the job.D.Because it can remind people to protect nature.3.How can you become a conservation officer?A.Grade 9 to 4 (A* to C) in English or Maths.B.Have paid or unpaid work experience.C.Get 5 General Certificates of Secondary Education.D.Volunteer in organisations like the Wildlife Trusts.BIt's 1944, in occupied Paris. Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters- a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina's government protested the family's detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren't safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky's father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. Whenthe agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he'd learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky's cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France's Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. "I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths- I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color."4.What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?A.To provide an apartment building for painters .B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.C.To make fake identities for all families.D.To train students to operate laboratories.5.What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?A. He was sent to a concentration camp.B. He moved to live in Argentina.C. He was swiftly sent on to die.D. He protested his family's detention6.Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky ?A. Enthusiastic and gentle.B. Expressive and humble.C. Disciplined and modest.D. Courageous and helpful.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.COn January 27th, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance Wa（r 抗击新型肺炎战），the Ministry of Education issued a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17th. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. It they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learnt before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.8.Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because .A.children may be infected by virusB.they don’t like the idea of online learningC.children’s study may be affectedD.parents have no time to look after children9.Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A.To keep playing online games.B.To keep touching different people.C.To do some physical exercise outside.D.To teach children about health knowledge.10.The underlined word “suspension” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A.planB. stopC. growthD. change11.What’s the best title for this passage?A.ASpecial Way to Learn at HomeB.ANew War with a New ChangeC.AWay to Keep Mentally HealthyD.AMethod to Make Parents UnworriedDMoney might not grow on trees, but it seems that furniture does! Gavin Munro, a UK-based designer, has come up with a brilliant alternative to cutting beautiful trees and converting them into furniture.He first came up with the idea of growing furniture when he was working as a gardener in California and also made furniture with washed-up driftwood on the side. After several attempts, he finally managed to develop a model chair using four trees. Munro is now tending to a small 2.5 acre “furniture forest” of 400 trees in a field north of Derby, England. He uses specially designed plastic frames to make young oak and ash trees into the shapes of chairs, tables, frames, or lamps.A forest that grows furniture sounds like a setting right out of Alice in Wonderland, but there’s nothing magical about it, just a lot of hard work. The forest consists of rows upon rows of trees covered in blue plastic molds, converting them into furniture as they grow. Once they take the desired shape, they are cared for until thick, mature and ready for harvest.After harvesting, each piece is planned( 刨平) and finished to show off the wood grain inside. “It’s an art form in itself, keeping track of everything,” Munro said.The entire process takes about four to eight years, resulting in fully functional, organic, eco-friendly furniture, and more long-lasting than anything else on the market. They are grown and grafted(嫁接) into one solid piece without any joints that loosen over time. As Munro puts it, “These pieces of furniture could last for centuries.”Quality isn’t an issue with forest-grown furniture, but maintenance and scalability(可伸缩性) certainly are. For now, Munro expects to grow 50 pieces a year, with the first lot of chairs available for purchase in mid-2017, priced at $3,700 each.12.The first paragraph mainly serves as .A. commentB. praiseC. introductionD. background13.Gavin Munro thought of growing furniture .A. while serving as a gardenerB. while relaxing at homeC. w hile studying in CaliforniaD. when he grow up14.What plays a key role in growing furniture?A. Rich imagination.B. Perfect d esign.C. Large irrigation.D. Hard work.15.The passage is probably taken from .A. an essayB. a reportC. a novelD. a diary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。

A Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job. One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed. Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” He thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job. 21. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A. He was out of work. B. He was bored with his job. C. He wanted a higher position. D. he hoped to find a better boss.
