Throughout the high profile(引人注目)visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very wele and attracted a great deal of interest.

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming to- day.Natural foods, for example, vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process pared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount—but not the quality—of foods grown in mercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. pare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for ex- ample, where thousands of chickens live crowded together inone building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar, this is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form. of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fibre.It is significant that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetable. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetable, certain diseases are paratively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating.61..Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because ______.A．these foods are fresh and sweetB．they don't like the processed foodsC．they want to change their eating habitsD．these foods contain more vitamins, minerals and fiber etc.62. According to the passage,to use chemicals and fertilizers means ___.A. to increase the amount of foodsB. to increase the quality of foodsC. to increase the amount and quality of foodsD. to increase essential vitamins and minerals63.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. People will no longer eat those foods containing chemical additivesB. Farmers will not necessarily use fertilizers to promote productionC. Natural foods will find a good market in the futureD. Certain disease will never befall people who eat natural foods64. What can we learn from the passage?A. Chickens live crowed together in one building lay more eggs.B. Natural foods refer to the food produced in the fields.C. Fewer diseases are caused by natural foods.D. Sugar seems to be an additive that is necessary for human heath65. The best title for this passage is ____.A.Eating Habits Are StableB. New Trend in Diet-natural FoodsC. Natural Foods and Chemical Additives.D. How to Go on a DietCLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that munication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to municate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.munication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just e home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “munication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information, correspondence, means of munication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep munication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. munication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.munication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to munication.66. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.A. more difficultB. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting67. The main idea of the second paragraph is __________.A. the importance of friendshipB. to make your feeling known to othersC. the importance of municationD. the disagreement between generations68. When parents and children are in munication, the key to a happy relationship is that__________.A. children should always obey their parentsB. they should be equalC. parents play the leading partD. both make the opposite know their feelings69. The example in this passage proves that ___________.A. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB. Sophie is very polite to her parentsC. Sophie did well in explaining her being lateD. munication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding70. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let th em knowB. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothingC. If you are not able to municate, walk awayD. munication is a two-way dealPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Laughter is a key ponent of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefi t from it.One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you against the negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves.Although we can’t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of the most monly used therapies (疗法) among cancer patients.Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release of endorphins (内啡肽), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.Love the benefits of laughter but don’t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefits of laughter into your life. You can try the old remendations: Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny.Spend time with an amusing friend.Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have made you laugh in the past.Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.Title: The benefits of 71 .______Benefits◆Mental benefits* 72.______ you against the negatives of your life* Making you feel less lonely and more 73. ______ about yourself◆ 74.______benefits* Helping to lead a healthy life* Being monly used to treat 75. ______* 76. ______ the oxygen-rich blood flow in your bodyRemendations to bring laughter 77.______* Read a funny book, or watch 78._______.* Spend time with 79.______.* Look on the 80. ______ — go to places that have made you laugh* Join the “laughter movement” while fighting stressConclusion.Laughter is a key ponent of a happy life, and it has powerful benefits.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.A drunk driver speeding along in his SUV on the freeway last night killed three of four people in a car, which had slowed down because of the construction work on the freeway. Four lanes were merged (合并) into two. The Department of Transportation crew was making repairs to the highway. Hundreds of bright orange traffic cones (锥标) guided the merger. Four heavy duty trucks were parked in the emergency lanes. Their brightly glowing signs said, “Slow. Be prepared to stop. Construction ahead.”Missing all of these warnings, the SUV’s driver, going at least 50 mph, knocked into the car. The car driver, a puter programmer, was a recent immigrant to America. In the passenger seat was his wife, and in the back seat were his 6-year-old daughter and his 8-year-old son. It was 9 p.m. The family was going to a restaurant to celebrate the little girl’s birthday. They never knew what hit them.The collision caused the car to explode in flames. Somehow, the car driver managed to get out of the car seconds after the explosion. Third-degree burn covered much of his body. His chances for survival are slim. His life, as he knew it, is over. His loved ones were burned beyond recognition.The 28-year-old driver of the SUV was not only unhurt, but was able to escape from his SUV. He claimed that his brakes had failed. The police said that he had four convictions (定罪) for driving under the influence in the past 10 years.81. What does the car driver do?

2019-2020学年上海中学高三英语二模试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABored with your life? Dreaming of something different? I always wonder what life would be like400 kmabove my head. That's where the International Space Station orbits the earth, with six astronauts living and working on board, for months at a time.How do they sleep? They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains, “It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty comfortable and it doesn't matter if I turn overand sleep upside down. I don't have any sensation (感觉) in my head that tells me I'm upside down.”Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a challenge. Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in zero gravity? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste which he has to swallow when he's done.Daily exercise is essential. The lack of gravity makes bones more fragile and muscles lose strength — so astronauts are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.The role of astronauts in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on earth. So they spend their time maintaining their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined space about the size of a Boeing 747. Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control — although most astronauts spend their first days losing things until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls with Velcro, duct tape (强力胶带) or clips (夹子)．One of their most valued perks (额外待遇) is the view from “the office”, dominated by that gigantic blue ball down there, sitting in the darkness of space. Wow! Absolutely breathtaking!1. When they sleep upside down, the astronauts willnot get dizzy because ________.A. they don't feel itB. they sleep in the daytimeC. they sleep in special sleeping bagsD. they are trained to adapt to the conditions of weightlessness2. What parts become weak if astronauts don't exercise?A. Their teeth and bones.B. Their brains and bones.C. Their bones and muscles.D. Their teeth and muscles.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Problems We Met in Space.B. Living and Working in Space.C. How to Become an Astronaut.D. The International Space Station.BA dog spentthe lastfour years of his life waitingat a crossroad in the Thai city ofKhon Kaenas if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soonwent viraland the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman fromThailand’sRoiEtProvince, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years，her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon，the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tailand came to her，but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow.

Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start.

Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.8.

It is generally acknowledged in the field that dreams people have during this time betweenchildhood and full adulthood, that’s around 30, are the strongest and most influential. Yet not enough is known about the repeated patterns of dreaming. Researchers are still trying to answer a basic question: How does dreaming relate to the life experiences and developmental challenges?G. William Domhoff and Adam Schneider, at theUniversityofCalifornia, help to answer this question by examining the lengthy dream series of two individuals, “Izzy” and “Jasmine”. Izzy provided a collection of 4, 329 dream reports from between the ages of 12 and 25, while Jasmine provided 664 dreams recorded between the ages of 14 and 25.Large collections of dreams like these pose challenges to researchers. Until recently, the means of studying dream series was to employ a team of recorders who take the time to code each dream for a predetermined(预先确定的)number of content categories, and then compare their results. Nowadays, digital technologies enable theanalysis of language usage in dreams with high speed, accuracy, and objectivity. This marks a revolutionary advance in the science of dreaming. However,itcan only lead so far.To gain more specific and detailed insights, Domhoff and Schneider tailored word strings(词串)for each dreamer, mixing elements of traditional research with digital tools for analyzing large data sets. For Izzy these word strings included “family and s”, “celebrities” and “fantasy”, while the word strings they created for Jasmine included “familiar places,” electrical equipment” and “music”. The researchers used these word strings to identify connections between their dreams and real lives. Surprisingly, the results of the analysis revealed a great deal of consistency(一致性)and continuity in both sets of dreams. Izzy pays much attention to pop culture, and has affection for famous actors. Jasmine is an accomplished musician and performer.“The frequencies of dream elements show the intensity(强度)of the dreamer’s personal concern with that element in waking thought,” Domhoff and Schneider conclude. For anyone who still claims dreaming is merely random nonsense from the brain and mental world, these findings are hard to explain away.12. What do psychologists agree with about dreams?A. Dreams are influenced by life experiences.B. Dreaming is never nonsense from the brain.C. Dreams in one’s teens and twenties are strongest.D The patterns of dreaming are usually repeated.13. What does “it” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The collection of dreams.B. Research into dreaming.C. The digital method.D. The challenge for psychologists.14. How do the researchers conduct their study?A. By analyzing large data sets.B. By developing individualized word strings.C. By identifying the patterns of dreaming.D. By making comparison with traditional research.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. New tech, new findingB. Dreams: reflections of waking realityC. Lives, languages, dreamsD.

Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.4. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.5. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.6. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.7. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.CBarred owls(大林鸮猫头鹰) are a large species native to eastern North America, but they began moving west at the start of the 20th century. By 1973,large numbers of barred owls had arrived in the western state ofWashington. Later they moved south intoOregonandCalifornia.In parts of thePacific Northwest, the owls are now believed to be causing a drop in the population of a smaller, less aggressive bird: the northern spotted owl. In many ways, the barred owl is the spotted owl's worst enemy. The barred owl has more babies per year and eats the same animals, like squirrels and wood rats. And their numbers are now larger in many parts of the spotted owl's traditional territory.David Wiens is a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal agency that studies the Earth and its natural resources. He and other officials are doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. It is a controversial, experimental program. More than 2,400 barred owls have already been shot.Wiens is the son of a well-known bird expert and grew up with the fascination for birds. He has mixed feelings about the program. "It's a little distasteful, I think, to go out killing barred owls to save another owl species," he says. But he adds, “We knew that barred owls were out competing spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast."To catch barred owls, officials put digital bird callers on the ground. Then they step back and wait as several sounds from the devices fill the air. All of this happens in the dark of night. Barred owls dislike other birds in their territory, so they will fly down and chase other owls out. That is when Wiens and his team try to shoot them.8. What's the main problem with spotted owls?A. They are being starved to death.B. They have more babies each year.C. They are invaded by another bird.D. They are hunted by man.9. Why are barred owls being killed?A. They are eating the spotted owls.B. They are killing each other to survive.C. They are putting the spotted owls in danger.D. They are destroying large areas of forests.10. Why did the officials release the bird sounds?A. To kill barred owls.B. To puzzle barred owls.C. To protect barred owls.D. To frighten barred owls.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Killing One Animal to Save Another.B. Keeping the Balance of Nature.C. Protecting Birds in Danger.D. Preventing Birds from Playing Fair.DThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality（AR）or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface（界面）between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?12. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.13. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.14. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it 32 _ to both emotions and senses.Sound is 33 _________the single most important aspect of any poem.5The sound that any poem. The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each 34_________ word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this 35_________ pattern,or “beat,” in the sounds. This is called meter.Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece. As far back as 700 BCE, poets there recited their work at public 36_________ and religious ceremonies, the great epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer came from Greece. The Greeks eventually 37_________ Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE. In medievaltimes, poems such as Beowulf, The Divine Comedy by Dante, and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer were written. Religion and romance became the 38_________ of choice for many poets at that time.Poetry 39_________ even more during the Renaissance period of history, an era of many great cultural achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of 40 expression in modem times,III.

Apart from a powerful capacity to draw attention on their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing the new born child can do to 42_________his own survival. Without 43_________ from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the 44_________ of many new born animals to get to their 45 within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young animals are certainly in 46_________ ,sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human 47_________,they very quickly develop the capacity to 48_________themselves. It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally 49_________on the others that it reveals the second feature which it 50_________with all other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn 51_________.For this reason,biologists now suggest that language is “species specific” to the human race, that is to say, they consider the human infant to be genetically 52_________ in such a way that it can 53_________ language. This suggestion implies that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color and just as they are designed to 54_________upright rather than to move on all fours, so they are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal 55_________ as well-formed human beings.41.

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.AA knight(骑士）was a mounted warrior of medieval Europe who served a king or other feudal superior, usually in return for land. Knighthood was taken quite seriously and had to be earned.At about the age of eight, a boy would begin training in preparation for knighthood. This young trainee, known as a page (学习骑士）,would train with mentors to learn about horses, armor, and weapons. Pages practiced fighting with a sword against a wooden stake and learned to skillfully use a bow and arrow. The lady of the castle taught a young page about manners and social graces, as well as how to sing, play instruments, and dance. A priest might give a page religious training and teach him to read and write. By the age of fourteen, the page would become a squire (骑士的随从). A squire was responsible for dressing a knight for battles and tournaments and taking care of the knight^ armor and weapons. He would even follow his master on the battlefield to protect him if the knight fell.A squire had to gain skill in using a lance (长矛) , spear, or sword,8so he would practice against a wooden dummy called a quintain(矛靶) The quintain and a shield were hung on a wooden pole, and when hit, the whole structure would spin. The squire would learn to ride up and hit the shield’s center, but then quickly move out of the way without getting hit and knocked off his horse by the quintain.At about age twenty, a squire was finally prepared to be called a knight, which involved an extended ceremony. On the evening before becoming a knight t the squire confessed his sins to a priest, was given a symbolic bath, and then fasted in order to cleanse his soul. The squire would dress all in white and stay in a chapel all night praying and watching over his weapons and armor.In the morning, the squire would dress in symbolically-colored clothing: red for his blood, white for purity, and brown for his return to the earth after death. At this ceremony, the knight wore a code of chivalry, which required him always to be brave, loyal, courteous, and to protect he defenseless. Knighthood was granted by the overlord (领主）and the new knight was tapped on the shoulders or neck with the flat side of the sword.If this new knight ever broke his promise or acted dishonorably, he would be stripped of his knighthood in another ceremony, in which he was 14 buried. In the Middle Ages, a knight without honor was considered as good as dead.56. What were the responsibilities of a squire?A. Practicing fighting with a sword and using a bow and arrow skillfully.B. Looking after weapons and learning manners from the Lady of the castle.C. Confessing his sin and praying for his mentors.D. Dressing a knight for fighting and protecting him.57. What does the underlined word “ chivalry” mean ?A. The noble spirit a knight possesses.B. The tough task a knight has to finish.C. The high goal a knight must achieve.9D. The military discipline a knight should obey.58. If a knight failed to keep his promise, what would happen?A. He would be sentenced to death.B. He would be robbed of his title.C. He would be forced to leave Court.D. His land would be returned to the King.59. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Why people wanted to be knights.B. How one became a knight.C. When knighthood started.D. Who knights had to serve.BModem technology allows scientists to look inside a living human brain to see what is happening. These procedures are safe and painless. By understanding the normal brain activity, doctors and scientists are better able to assess the brain^ behavior during times of injury, disease, and mental illness.CT or CAT scans : Computed tomography (CT) or computerized axial tomography (CAT) shows images of the brain by passing multiple X-ray beams through the brain tissue. CT or CAT scans show a cross-section of the brain. These scans can be used to find brain tumors.MRI scans : Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) uses powerful magnet to cause the atoms of the brain to shake, MRI sensors pick up the signals emitted ( Hi) from the brain5s atoms and a computer interprets them as a picture, MRIs show more detail than CT or CAT scans can. They are especially useful in finding brain tumors that grow on the back of the brain, between the ears.PET scans : Positron emission tomography ( PET) is different from other scans because it shows how the brain functions. After a person^ bloodstream is injected with a small dose of glucose (葡萄糖）,which is10what gives the brain energy, scanners around the head detect where the glucose moves.

Any of them.CInnovation is key to business survival, and companies put substantial resources into inspiring employees to develop new ideas but not necessarily succeed. And there are those who don’t have a budget, or much space, but who innovate successfully.For Robert B. Cialdini, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, one reason that companies don’t succeed as often as they should is that innovation starts with recruitment. Research shows that the fit between an employee’s values and a company’s values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they're still at the company.One of the most famous pho tographs in the story of rock’n’roll11emphasizes Cialdini’s views.The 1956 picture of singers Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis jamming at a piano in Sun Studios in Memphis tells a hidden story. Sun’s million-dollar quartet (四重唱）”could have been a quintet (五重唱）.Missing from the picture is Roy Orbison, a greater natural singer. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun, wanted to revolutionize popular music. All of them except Orbison believed in it. Orbison wasn’t inspired by the goal,and only ever achieved one hit with the Sun label.Cialdini also believes that the “follow-the-leader syndrome” is dangerous, not least because it encourages bosses to go it alone. “It’s been scientifically proven that three people will be better than one at solving problems, even if that one person is the smartest person in the field. To prove his point, Cialdini cites an interview with molecular biologist James Watson. Watson,together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA. “When asked how they had cracked the code ahead of other highly rival investigators, he said something that surprised me. He said he and Crick had succeeded because they were aware that they weren’t the most intelligent of the scientists pursuing the answer. The smartest scientist was called Rosalind Franklin who, Watson said,‘ was so intelligent that she rarely sought advice ’Authority doesn't have to inhibit （抑制）innovation but it often does. Many theorist believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says,“ Leaders should encourage ever yone to contribute and assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention, A manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognizing these psychological realities.62. The example of the “million-dollar quartet” underlines the writer’s point about______________.A. recognizing talentB. working as a teamC. having a shared objectiveD. being an effective leader1263. James Watson suggests that he and Francis Crick won the race to discover the DNA code because they______________A. were conscious of their own limitationsB. brought complementary skills to their partnershipC. were determined to outperform their brighter rivalsD. encouraged each other to realize their joint ambition64. In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees to______________.A. be aware of their company’s goalsB. have respect for their co-workers’ achievementsC. understand why certain management decisions are madeD. feel that their contributions are valued65. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?A. The key to becoming an innovative company.B. The psychology of innovation.C. The environment giving rise to Innovation.D. How to be an innovative company leader.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.13Many people go through life’s usual phases of ups and downs,which are common and normal stages in life, but when your self-esteem is low, you may need to know how to boost your self-esteem ,since it can lead to problems you may not have thought of.Self-esteem plays a key role in the maturity of a person, especially when trying to get away from a dangerous situation, going through a series of trials in life. (67)____________________________Always compliment yourself daily, especially by trying to look for specific tasks you did well for that day and congratulate yourself for it. (68)____________________________ List down all things you are good at doing and achieving, be it a talent, skill, sport or building up other people.You can add more focus to these good points and fuel your passion to do better and make you not only understand yourself more, but also give you the true meaning and measurement of self worth and this is how you see yourself as important.Sometimes when you tend to see things in a different light or perspective from others, don’t focus too much on making sure that what you think will cause things to change. (69)____________________________When you have good self-esteem you will realize that what you did was right and was made under your own food judgment, sound principles and concepts based on your personal outlook and attitude towards life.14Do not let negative feedback affect you. Of course, one cannot help but feel bad about negative comments or reactions, but you have to consider that these are tests against your characterand personality. (70) ____________________________ So try to look at yourself and see, and if you feel less important or are not satisfied with how you see and look at things, then think about ways on how to boost your self-esteem. You’ll thank yourself for it.IV.Summary WritingDirections :Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”“You don’t owe me anything,’’ she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. ” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ” As Howard Kelly lef t that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the15business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention.
