句意：与过去两年相比，总成本下降了19%。
compare to…把……比作……，compare with…把……和……比较，根据句意可知，此处是把现在和过去比较，需用固定短语compare with，本句已有谓语动词reduced，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，动词compare与主句主语the total cost之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词compared作状语。

Let us believe it is about 45 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.V oyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have beenbuilt. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old.What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may someday. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and pests no longer destroy crops. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill anymore, such would be our life in 2060.25. When was the passage written?A. In about A.D. 2060B. In about 1960C. In about 2014D. In about 201526. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?A. Many tourists.B. Many other animals.C. Many plants.D. A sea.27. What will people eat then according to the passage?A. Biscuits in pill form.B. Foods in pill form.C. Foods in water form.D. Foods in gas form.25.【答案】D26.【答案】A27.【答案】BCThe government in Tibet has denied the permanent (永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was "permanently closed due to heavy pollution" and caused a universal misunderstanding.Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33,819 square kilometers, it is home to one of the world's weakest ecosystems (生态系统).Kelsang, the deputy director of the Reserve Administration, said ordinary tourists were allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major cleanups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims (受害者) above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage."These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education," said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined words "went viral" in Paragraph 2?A. Spread wild.B. Blocked out.C. Gave away.D. Shot up.29. What can we learn according to Kelsang's words about the national nature reserve?A. Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.B. The climbing permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.D. The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.30. Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above?A. To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth.C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.31. How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present?A. 300.B. 1,000.C. 85.D. 1,085.28.【答案】A29.【答案】B30.【答案】D31.【答案】DD“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children's development, according to new research. Scholars claimed (声称) there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children's behaviors but failed to actually increase babies' vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The conclusions will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving t he relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even think “ if I don't do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother .”Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn't say it if they don't believe it."32.Which of the following may help improve children's language skills?A. Using simple words and phrases.B. Talking to them as much as possible.C. Buying them more books and DVDs.D. Creating a serious home environment.33.According to Paragraph 4. some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that_______.A. they are influenced by othersB. they are sure of the effects of themC. they don't want to be looked down uponD. they don't know how to teach their children34.The underlined word "sustained" in the last paragraph means "A. obtainedB. soughtC. approved ofD. figured out35.What's the main idea of the text?A. How to teach children to communicate effectively.B. Baby signing classes increase children's intelligence.C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.D. Baby signing classes fail to improve children's language skills.【答案】BACD第二节（共5小题海小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

可编辑修改精选全文完整版完形填空专题上海市七宝中学2020-2021学年高二上学期10月月考英语试卷(A)The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it ___41___ our kids.Al Gore famously ___42___ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, ___43___ that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.When ___44___ with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.This ___45___ is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, ___46___, on global warming's impact on malaria (疟疾)----which will put slightly more people at ___47___in 100 years - instead of dealing with the half a billion people ___48___ from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.Exaggeration also wears out the public's ___49___ to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A ___50___ of people now believe – incorrectly – that global warming is not even caused by humans.But the ___51___ cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes – particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal ___52___ from global warming.The newspaper also reported that parents are ___53___ effective outlets for their eight-year-olds' concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, ___54___ to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half- century, to about 22,000. ___55___ the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.41.

Except(B)Residents of urban areas often make use of public transportation on their way to school or the office. But when their final ___56___ isn’t near a bus stop or subway statio n, those folks have a problem. Transportation experts often ___57___ to this as the “last mile” problem —finding a way to close the gap between public transportation stops and one’s destination.With the last mile problem in mind, the makers of the URB-E ___58___ a compact electric vehicle that weighs around 13 kilograms. Unlike bikes, which often don’t fit on crowded buses or trains, the URB-E collapses into a form ___59___ to carry-on luggage. And since the URB-E can be carried ___60___ anywhere, it’s no t as vulnerable to thieves as bikes are.Depending on usage, the URB-E can travel for 32 kilometers on a single ___61___, reaching a top speed of 24 kilometers per hour. Although there are other vehicles attempting to ___62___ the last mile issue, the URB-E ___63___ for its ease of use, portability and affordable price. For the price of a nice laptop, you could have an URB-E to drive to the office.The URB-E is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in two basic models: the URB-E Commuter and the URB-E GP. The main ___64___ between the two is that the Commuter model has two rear wheels while the GP has only one. That means the Commuter offers greater stability, as ___65___ to the GP’s ability to make sharper turns like a bicycle.Both models come with accessories ___66___ LED front and rear lights and a shock-absorbing seat. They also ___67___ a smartphone holder and USB charging port right on the steering column. In fact, smartphones play a big role in the URB-E app to do things like monitor battery charge or control the lights. ___68___ accessories include a cup holder and a folding luggage shelf.At this year’s international Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, tech website The Verge awarded the URB-E with its “Best Personal Transportation” aw ard. Singing the URB-E’s ___69___, Verge editor Ben Popper said, “The URB-E felt like the kind of vehicle an enlightened citizen of 2030 would own.” So why wait that long, when the URB-E is ___70___ for order now?56.A. purpose B. destination C. transportation D. vehicle57.A. refer B. accustom C. attach D. stick58 A.discovered B. introduced C. designed D. manufactured59 A.convenient B. efficient C. objective D. similar60 A.constantly B. eventually C. mainly D. practically61 A.charge B. tourism C. competition D. distance62 A.cover B. develop C. address D. conquer63 A.breaks away B. stands out C. invests in D. perseveres in64 A.difference B. characteristic C. shortcoming D. advantage65 A.familiar B. strange C. important D. opposed66 A.as a result of B. such as C. in all D. in addition to67 A.install B. explore C. feature D. equip68 A.Optional B.

Reading ComprehensionSection A（15分，每题1分）Directions:For each blank in the following passages 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.Do Brain Training Games Work?With an ageing population worried about cognitive(认知的) decline, brain training apps have soared in popularity. Search “brain training”, and you will find (41)________ apps and websites promising to make you mentally agile( 敏捷的). In the same way that we might go to the gym to exercise, a daily mental (42)________is said to produce physical changes in the brain. All you will have to do is to (43)________ a few minutes each day to complete puzzles, memory games and word quizzes.At l east that’s the idea. And there are a lot of people who are (44)________ into it. In 2018, consumers spent an estimated $1.9 billion on brain training apps—a fourfold increase from 2012. Of course, smartphones were not the original home for brain training games. (45)________, Nintendo recently released its fourth all-time best-selling game, Brain Age, and brought it to the Switch in Japan last month. The idea of improving mental fitness clearly has widespread appeal, but is it based on scientific evidence or (46)________marketing promises?In 2014, the Stanford Center on Longevity published an open letter (47)________by 69 international neuroscientists( 神经科学家) and cognitive psychologists. There is no convincing scientific evidence, the experts argued, that playing brain games improves cognitive abilities in everyday life.Two years later, another team of psychologists reviewed every scientific study cited by major brain training companies (48)________ their products. They questioned not only how the evidence had been reported and interpreted, but the way many of the studies had been designed.

But when their final__41__ isn't near a bus stop or subway station, those folks have a problem. Transportation experts often __42__ to this as the "last mile" problem-finding a way to close the gap between public transportation stops and one's destination.With the last mile problem in mind, the makers of the URB-E __43__ a compact electric vehicle that weights around 13 kilograms. Unlike bikes, which often don't fit on crowded buses or trains, the URB-E collapses into a form __44__ to carry-on luggage. And since the URB-E can be carried __45__ anywhere, it's not as vulnerable to thieves as bikes are.Depending on usage, the URB-E can travel for 32 kilometers on a single __46__, reaching a top speed of 24 kilometers per hour. Although there are other vehicles attempting to __47__ the last mile issue, the URB-E __48__ for its ease of use, portability and affordable price. For the price of a nice laptop, you could have an URB-E TO drive to the office.The URB-E is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in two basic models: the URB-E Commuter and URB-E GP. The main __49__ between the two is that the Commuter model has two rear wheels while the GP has only one. That means the Commuter offers greater stability, as __50__ to the GP's ability to make sharper turns like a bicycle.Both models come with accessories __51__ LED front and rear lights and a shock-absorbing seat. They also __52__ a smart-phone holder and USB charging port right on the steering column. In fact, smart-phones play a big role in the URB-E app to do things like monitor battery charge or control the lights. __53__ accessories include a cup holder and a folding luggage shelf.At this year's international Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, tech website The Verge awarded theURB-E with its "Best Personal Transportation" award. Singing the URB-E __54__, V erge editor Ben Popper said, "The URB-E felt like the kind of vehicle an enlighened citizen of 2030 would own." So why wait that long, when the URB-E is __55__ for order now?41. A. purpose B. destination C. transportation D. vehicle42. A. refer B. accustom C. attach D. stick43.

Scientists have already linked low-cost, __61__ foods to rising obesity rates around the world. Three recent studies offer more __62__ on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health.What does processed food __63__?The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made __64__ of industrialized materials and additives. Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can __65__ healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.What's wrong with processed foods?Researchers at the National Institutes of Health conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people eat about 500 more calories a day when __66__ mostly processed foods. That is compared with when the __67__ people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be __68__.In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death __69__.What is it about processed foods?When given less processed foods, people in the study __70__ more of a hormone that controls hunger, and less of a hormone that causes hunger. The reason for the __71__ is not clear. The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly.Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study.

(15’)Merely hear the Arctic Circle lie some countries struggling through the long winter days, with almost nothing in sight except the marvelous natural scenery. Therefore no elsewhere in the world, Iceland may be referred to as Western Europe's last unexplored wilderness. But the truth is, once you're off the 41______ track of low-lying coastal areas where everyone lives the road are few, and they are all bad, so Iceland's natural wonders have been out of 42______ and unknown even to its own 43_______. For them the land has always just been there, something that had to be dealt with and, if possible,44______the mind-set of land as commodity rather than land as, well, priceless art on the scale of the "Mona Lisa".When the opportunity arose in 2013 for the natural power company to enter into a 40-year45_______with the American aluminum(铝) company Alcoa to supply hydro-electric- power for new smelter (冶炼厂), those who had been dreaming of something like this for decades 46________ the opportunity. For long time, life here had meant little more than hut, dark all winter, cold, no hope, children dying left and right, plagues, starvation, volcanoes erupting and destroying all vegetation and livestock, all spirit---a world 47______almost entirely around the welfare of one's sheep and, later, on how good thefish-catching was. In the remote regions, it still largely does.It seemed that the Alcoa project was intended to save one of these dying regions--- the remote and thinly-populated east---where the way of life had steadily 48______ to a point of desperation and gloom. After fishing quotas were 49______ in the early 1980s to protect fish stocks, many individual boat owners sold their shares or gave them away, fishing rightsdrained away even more jobs previously done by human hands, and the people were seeing everything that they had worked for all their lives turn out to be 51______ and their children move away. With the old way of life bound to die, aluminum projects like this one had come to be perceived, wisely or not, as a last chance, "Smelter or death."The contract with Alcoa would integrate the region with foreign 52______, an estimated 400 jobs, and spin-off service industries. It also was a way for Iceland to develop expertise that 53______ could be sold to the rest of the world and54______ an economy historically dependent on fish.
