The worst possible life would be on step 0. The best possible life would be on step 10. Then the researchers asked people where they were on the ladder. They asked this question of 10,000 people in 156 different countries over the last three years.For the third year in a row, the report named Finland as the world’s happiest country. This time Finland was even farther ahead of other countries than it was last time. The other top five countries were Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland and Norway.To help explain the results, the researchers studied several important areas, such as how much money people make, how long they live, how free they are, how much support they get from the people around them, and whether the government is seen as honest.Clearly, the kind of happiness that is being measured by the report isn’t just about laughing, smiling, and telling jokes. It’s more about how satisfied people are with their lives.The report suggests that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they are more likely to be happy. The report’s authors describe these as “high-trust” countries.As countries around the world face the big challenges brought by the coronavirus, the report’s authors note that happiness doesn’t always disappear during difficult times.Actually, in high-trust areas, disasters can often leave people with a surprising good feeling because ______83_____.78.Why is it strange to think about countries being“happy”now?______________________________________________________________79.Finland was the happiest country in the world according to the report, wasn’t it?______________________________________________________________80.What question was asked at least 10,000 times?______________________________________________________________81.How many areas were considered to help explain the results?______________________________________________________________82.How do you understand a “high-trust” country?______________________________________________________________plete the last sentence.Actually, in high-trust areas, disasters can often leave people with a surprising good feeling because ________________________________________________________答案78.

One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn't have them. It was3:30, and his parents worked until 6: 00 p.m. Robert looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and pictured himself climbing the building. When he open ed his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” A quarter of an hour later, he was in his house, and his fear of heights was gone.Today, Robert (known as the French Spiderman) still climbs buildings. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101 (the tallest building in the world at the time), and in 2011 he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai. To reach the top of a building, Robert usually uses only his hands and special shoes. To climb the Burj Khalifa Tower, though, he was made to wear safety ropes.Robert climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity (for children and the homeless). Climbing is his passion. Although many climbing accidents have left him seriously disabled, he has become one of the best solo climbers in the world. Alain says in an interview “We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ou rselves.”When Robert climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream - something you really want to do - it can become real.

Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.”78.Alain Robert is afraid of heights, isn’t he?______________________________________________________________79.How did Robert enter his apartment on the eighth floor one day?______________________________________________________________80.What did Robert use when he climbed the Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai?______________________________________________________________81.Robert climbs for two reasons. what are they?______________________________________________________________82.If you're afraid of doing something, what is Robert's advice?______________________________________________________________83.What do you think makes Alain Robert become one of the best solo climbers in the world? ______________________________________________________________答案78.No, he isn't79.He climbed the building and entered through an open window./By climbing the building and entering through an open window.80.He wore safety ropes besides using his hands and special shoes.81.He climbs as a hobby and also to make money for charity.82.Try to find strength in ourselves.Be brave and keep trying.83.The belief that you can realize you dream and never give up when something bad happens.

I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in my wallet. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The secondbill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one.At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like the one we were in now. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just only making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their little tips worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids things they needed. I remembered the pain in their eyes and sadness in their faces at the end of the day.I blinked(眨眼)and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down, and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.We are all children of the same earth.

As he approached, one of the men tried fleeing, but failed. The police horse tracked down the suspect and arrested him.“He thought he was going to get away, ”Dennis said. “But you can't outrun these horses.”In Newark and cities across the country, retired racehorses are finding new careers fighting crime. The horses are helping departments with various types of police work. Horses have helped patrol parking lots and schools. They have patrolled city streets. They have chased down criminals.Police officers say retired racehorses make perfect additions to their departments for several reasons.The 1,200-pound horses are effective crime-fighting forces. The mounted(骑马的)police officers used them to arrest thieves. The animals’ natural intelligence helps as well. Horses can be easily trained to perform duties connected with fighting crime. In addition to being intelligent, horses are generally calm animals. The horse must also be able to follow six commands—walk, stop, stand, back up, side left, and side right. If a horse does not meet his department’s needs, it is returned.Most of the horses came from Jennifer Nagle’s rescue group. The group has found homes for more than 2.000 horses since it was started 20 years ago. However, today’s troubledeconomy has made the job of Nagle’s group more challenging. Caring for a horse can cost a great deal of money. According to Nagle, the number of horses in need of new homes has multiplied in recent months. Owners used to call her group and offer one horse for adoption. Now, some inquire about finding homes for five or six retired racehorses.The adoption of horses by police departments is a win-win for all. The horses enjoy new homes and companions(同伴). Police departments feel closer to people in the community.“The kids love the horses. A 3-year-old even walked up and petted his police horse.”The animals also have the ability to ease possibly upsetting situations. Another child who had gotten lost during a shopping trip could not find his parents. The police let the child pet the animal until the boy's parents were located The child wiped away his tears. He just thought the horse was the greatest thing in the world.88.

(Any reasonable answer is OK)2021崇明一模①The debate on "textbooks vs. computers" has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in the classroom? Should textbooks be replaced by computers?②There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated in real time. New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the latest information for the subjects they are studying.③With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers.④However, despite these advantages, I think textbooks must stay.⑤Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way. Each chapter builds on what a student has previously learned. On the internet, however, not all the information is true to organized.⑥With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more.⑦Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford textbooks, not all of them can afford a computer. Every student should be allowed to learn what he needs to learn. It's wrong to rob a student of his right to learn just because he can't afford the material.⑧Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learnmore. However, I don't think they can replace textbooks. If students want to learn well, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me?78.

Computers can't replace textbooks.83. No, I don't.

With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. …Any reasonable answers will be accep ted.2021奉贤一模Mr. Smith stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. "I know how hard you have all worked to get ready for this test," he said. "And because I know you are all able to understand these questions, I'm ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test."A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. Mr. Smith looked at the rest of the students and said. "Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance." Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. Mr. Smith then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing yourself.I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.The same is true of students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people.

After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy.“Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,”she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice came,“If a breeze(微风)can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied,“That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.”“That’s because you can’t give up what you are.

No!”The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.“The breeze can carry the vapor(水蒸气)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,”explained the desert very patiently.“And whether you are a river or vapor, your nature never changes,”continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream.78.

After all, many stores do discount(打折) their goods. But if you take a second look at the sale prices, you'll find that many of them end in “9” or “5.99 minutes.” In our everyday life, we (72)r_______ say “Just give me 5.99 minutes,” it’s not common to say “Just give me 59 minutes,” either. We are more likely to say “Just give me six minutes” and “just give me 60 minutes”. Why do store s prefer the other way round?According to Lee E. Hibbett, a professor of marketing, this pricing strategy(策略) has been around for about a century. No one knows who invented it. However, stores all like it. Prices that end in “.99” and “9” simply get more customers.The strategy(策略) is based on the (73)f_______ that we read from left to right. On a price tag(标签), the number on the far left impresses us the most. So, even though 5. 99 dollars is pretty (74)c______ to 6 dollars, it’s the “5” that impre sses us most. A product that sells for 5.99 dollars just seems like a better deal than a similar one that sells for 6 dollars.In a 2016 study, Hibbett, a professor of marketing asked a clothing company to (75)r_______ the price of one of its dresses. He and his workmates all thought fewer people would buy the dress. The result, however, (76)s________ them. Demand(需求) increased by a third.

It was sent to the International Space Station (ISS)on December 5th, 2019. It was designed to work there for three years to help astronauts.Actually, the International Space Station is a science lab in space. Now there are six people there. Usually astronauts stay in the ISS for five or six months. Can you imagine how boring it is to live in a tight space with just five other people for six months?So CIMON was created with two jobs in mind. One is helping astronauts with tasks. The other is trying to be "someone"astronauts can talk to.CIMON stands for Crew Interactive Mobile（互动移动）Companion.It is a robot with a face which was created by the European airplane company, Airbus. It has no arms or legs, but it can move where it needs to go with motors inside. Helping astronauts is easy for CIMON-it can see, hear, understand, and speak. Its "mouth" is a loudspeaker that can be used to talk or play music. The brains behind CIMON were provided by IBM, a computer company famous for training computers to understand human speech. CIMON can understand not just what people say, but what they mean. If astronauts ask it for instructions or information, CIMON can answer the astronauts, or use its screen to display pictures or documents, if needed. In addition, CIMON has several cameras, which can take pictures and videos to help astronauts keep records of experiments or other important actions.The more difficult part of CIMON's job is being a companion for the astronauts. The first CIMON could understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1000 sentences, but it was limited. In one video, taken with German astronaut Alexander Gerst, CIMON seemed to become confused as Mr. Gerst spoke with another astronaut. "Don't be so mean. please," CIMON said.CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can recognize emotions and find out how people are feeling. The goal for CIMON is to be a calm, trusted friend that astronauts can talk to when they don＇t want to talk with others. This could be especially important if tension（紧张气氛）in a group of astronauts causes them to stop thinking clearly.58.CIMON 2 planned to stay in the International Space Station for .A. five monthsB.

Something about this story, too (68) extremely unlikely and I refused to accept it.The suspect kept telling his story. Luckily, I took a useful and (69) training course last weekend. So I used the active questioning skills from the course to get the real truth out of him.When he finally (70) under my questioning, he admitted that he had parked his car in no-parking zone, andthen blown it（爆炸）.I have not yet worked out why he did this; my theory is that he is a mentally ill terrorist who sees parking rules as a symbol of everything he hates most in modem society.SignedDetective-Inspector Philip E.

The best possible life would be on step 10. Then the researchers asked people where they were on the ladder. They asked this question of 10,000 people in 156 different countries over the last three years.For the third year in a row, the report named Finland as the world's happiest country. This time Finland was even farther ahead of other countries than it was last time. The other top five countries were Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland and Norway.To help explain the results, the researchers studied several important areas, such as how much money people make, how long they live, how free they are, how much support they get from the people around them, and whether the government is seen as honest.Clearly, the kind of happiness that is being measured by the report isn't just about laughing, smiling, and telling jokes. It's more about how satisfied people are with their lives.The report suggests that when people live in a place where they trust other people and the government, they are more likely to be happy. The report's authors describe these as "high-trust" countries.As countries around the world face the big challenges brought by the coronavirus, the report's authors note that happiness doesn't always disappear during difficult times.Actually, in high-trust areas, disasters can often leave people with a surprising good feeling because (83) .78.Why is it strange to think about countries being "happy" now?79.Finland was the happiest country in the world according to the report, wasn't it?80.What question was asked at least 10,000 times?81.How many areas were considered to help explain the results?82.How do you understand a "high-trust"plete the last sentence.VII.Writing（作文）（共20分）84.Write at least 60 words on the topic “Happiness doesn’t always disappear during difficult times”（以“在困难时期，幸福感不一定会消失”为题写一不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格）（共20分）小到个人，大到团队、城市、国家，都会有困难时期，但即便是困难时期，人们还是能感受生活中的小喜悦，感受幸福温馨的片刻，请结合自己或他人的经历，说说因难时期的幸福。

Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）Remember to Say Thank YouI’m here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and let them be specific (具体的) and genuine (真诚的).And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I’d just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy. I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to make a survey.I’m fortunate enough to work in a hospital, so I can see people who are facing life and death. One man’s biggest wound is his father died without ever saying he was proud of him. But then, he heard from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of his son, but he never told the son. It’s because he didn’t know that his son needed to hear it.So, my question is, why don’t we ask for the things that we need? I know a gentleman called Tony, married for 25 years, who would like to hear his wife say, “Thank you for being the breadwinner so I can stay home with the kids,” but doesn’t ask. We’d like to win praise but it really has to be specific and genuine. I know a woman. She’s good at th is. She, once a week, meets with her husband and says, “I’d really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the house and with the kids.” And he goes, “Oh, this is great, this is great” But does his praise really work?And a friend of mine, April, who I’ve had since kindergarten, thanks her children for doing some cleaning. And she said,“Why wouldn’t I thank it, even though they’re supposed to do it?” By the way, will the children be pleased with their mother’s thanks?So, be honest about the praise that you need to hear. What do you need to hear? Go home to your family member—go and ask him/her, what does he/she need? And then help the people around you.Thank you for being here, just showing up and changing the world with your ideas.58. Why did the speaker stop accepting praise from others?_____________________________________________________________________________________________59. To know if other people have the same problem, what did the speaker do?_____________________________________________________________________________________________60. According to the third paragraph, the father was proud of his son, wasn’t he?_____________________________________________________________________________________________61. What is Tony’s problem?_____________________________________________________________________________________________62. Read the underlined sentence. What do you think of the man’s praise?_____________________________________________________________________________________________63. Some people feel there is no need to say thank you.

Their ordinary shopping trip turned rather special when Charlie, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and uses a wheelchair, saw an advertisement in the kids' clothing section that made him smile.The advertisement describes a young boy around Charlie's age wearing a sweater and laughing. Nothing seemed very out of the ordinary until Sumner saw that the boy in the advertisement was using a walker (助行架).“I stopped because I had never seen ‘our normal’ in such a place,” the mother of three children wrote in a blog post.Sumner wrote that she started crying right there in the middle of Target.“I watched Charlie watch the sign. And it was beautiful,” she wrote. “Yes, I star ted crying in the aisle. Yes, other people stopped and looked. And then they looked at the sign and they smiled. It was such an unexpected moment of connectedness among strangers in the middle of Target in the middle of a week on an otherwise ordinary day.”She and Charlie walked past the sign three times before they went out of Target.“It sounds like such a small thing, but for us it is a nod from the world that we supported,” she wrote. “It’s just the beginning, I hope. I hope more disabilities and special needs pop up in clothing advertisements and commercials and on mainstream TV. But for now, I am so grateful to Target for ___________83____________.”78.

Choose the best answer （根据短文内容, 选择最恰当的答案）（12分）Many artists include drawing of nature in their works. But the results can be very different. Here are four of the most famous.Stanislaw Witkiewicz（1885-1939）was a Polish artist. You often see his paintings in art galleries in Poland. Many people like Wi tkiewicz’s paintings of people’s faces, but I prefer his paintings of nature and landscapes. This one（painted in 1907）shows the Hinczow Lakes in the Tatra mountains. I like this painting because of the green fields and blue water—I’d love to gothere.Japanese art is famous for landscape paintings. You can often see sea and sky, and mountains and trees. Ando Hiroshigo worked in the nineteenth century and he’s one of Japan’s most famous artists. He printed and sold thousands of beautiful prints in his lifetime. However, he was poor when he died.Beatriz Milhazes is a Braziliann artist from Rio de Janeiro. She’s famous for her colorful paintings of flowers and interesting shapes. She also makes sculptures with different types of natural and man-made materials. Personally, I like all her works, though I prefer her paintings.Vincent van Gogh, the famous Dutch artist, made eleven paintings of sunflowers. They were his favourite paintings because he loved the color yellow. I prefer his other paintings, but many people love these ones. Nowadays, you see them on cards, postcards, and T-shirts. Van Gogh died with no money, but in 1987, someone bought the last sunflower painting for $49 million. 44．The writer prefers Stanislaw Witkiewicz’s painting of ________ very muc h.A．people’s faces B．nature and landscapes C．art galleriesD．lakes and people45．________ lived a hard life although he sold a lot of beautiful works.A．Vincent van Gogh B．Ando HiroshigeC．Beatriz Milhazes D．Stanislaw Witkiewicz46．The underlined word “Personally” most probably means “________” .A．In my opinion B．In fact C．In time D．In a way 47．Which of the following is True about Vincent van Gogh?A．He was a great Asian artist.

It was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) on December 5th, 2019. It was designed to work there for three years to help astronauts.Actually, the International Space Station is a science lab in space. Now there are six people there. Usually astronauts stay in the ISS for five or six months. Can you imagine how boring it is to live in a tight space with just five other people for six months?So CIMON was created with two jobs in mind. One is helping astronauts with tasks. The other is trying to be "someone" astronauts can talk to. CIMON stands for Crew Interactive Mobile (互动移动) Companion. It is a robot with a face which was created by the European airplane company, Airbus. It has no arms or legs, but it can move where it needs to go with motors inside. Helping astronauts is easy for CIMON—it can see, hear, understand, and speak. Its "mouth" is a loudspeaker that can be used to talk or play music. The brain behind CIMON were provided by IBM, a computer company famous for training computers to understand human speech. CIMON can understand not just what people say, but what they mean. If astronauts ask it for instructions or information, CIMON can answer the astronauts, or use its screen to display pictures or documents, if needed. In addition, CIMON has several cameras, which can take pictures and videos to help astronauts keep records of experiments or other important actions.The more difficult part of CIMON's job is being a companion for the astronauts. The first CIMON could understand what people were saying and mastered more than 1000 sentences, but it was limited. In one video, taken with German astronaut Alexander Gerst, CIMON seemed to become confused as Mr. Gerst spoke with another astronaut. "Don't be so mean, please," CIMON said.CIMON 2 has been improved so that it can recognize emotions and find out how people are feeling. The goal for CIMON is to be a calm, trusted friend that astronauts can talk to when they don't want to talk with others.
