Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater was (31) ______ over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl probably found her clothes.This top-down concept of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or in conflict with the mad world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year accusation of “fast fashion”. In the last decade or so, (32) ______in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and predict demand more(33) ______. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted stock, more frequent release, and more profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable—meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that—and to (34) ______ their wardrobe( 衣橱) every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have controlled fashion cycles, shaking an industry long (35) ______ to a seasonal pace.The (36) ______ of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that (37) ______ natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes—and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can’t be imitated.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to (38) ______ their impact on labor and theenvironment—including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line—Cline believes lasting change can only be made by customers.

He says NASA’s move to real-time, open communication made the 1969 Apollo 11 landing “the first positive viral event that (33)________ the world’s attention.”Before NASA was established in 1958, rockets were the military’s territory; that secretiveness carried over into the space agency’s early days. At first, NASA followed a “fire in the tail” rule, only (34)_________ a rocket’s launch when it was successfully in the air. But as the agency evolved, it started announcing more details about the Apollo program. It (35)_________its astronauts, talked openly about mission goals and challenges, and shared launch times so people could watch. “If it had been run like it was under the military,” Jurek says, “we would not have had that sense of drama, that sense of involvement, that sense of wonder, that(36)_________.” Instead, all the PR and press promotion in the years ahead of Apollo 11 brought the human spaceflight program into people’s living rooms and imaginations.As the drama neared its peak, NASA’s PR officials pushed for live TV broadcasts of the first humans to walkon the moon. Not everyone thought it was a good idea. The technology for live lunar broadcasts, and cameras small enough to keep the cargo(37)__________, didn’t exist at the point. Some engineers worried that developing that equipment would (38)________ from efforts to achieve the landing itself.

In today’s modern world, most of us are(31) __________ with so-called time-saving devices and technological advancements and work less both at the office and at home. But why do we still feel busier?A study by Derek Thompson on the “myth” of being busy suggests that while (32)__________ brought us convenience, it also brought us new headaches.

If most of the hours are spent doing something you don’t feel (39)____ about, it’s no wonder you start to feel out of control and anxious about your time. Taking back control of your time can ease this mental stress.

Suddenly,when they’re being asked to be responsible,rather than asking other people to be responsible,they’re(27)______(little)keen to take it on board.The International Union for the Conservation of Nature,which determines the conservation status of species claims that both species of mako sharks to be endangered,saying an(28)______ (estimate)50to79percent population decline over three generations,or about75years.They(29) ______(target)for their fins(鳍),used in shark fin soup—a dish in Asian countries,that’s often served at weddings as a sign of respect for guests.Their meat is more edible compared to(30) ______of other sharks,which is often acidic and is usually sold as a byproduct of the fin trade for “pennies on the dollar”.浦东新区2019学年度第一学期期末教学质量检测A New Hero is Here to Save the DayIt’s thought that when a hero like Batman is blessed with great power,he or she must endure loneliness and suffering as a result.The Flash(闪电侠),however,makes a fun,lightning-quick and optimistic superhero.After the wild success of TV series Arrow,a TV network launched The Flash,(21)______________(show)the image of this Superhero,who was only a supporting character in Arrow.Like Spiderman,who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he (22)______________(bite)by a spider,Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident.A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state,and when he emerged,he found himself(23)______________(equip)with super speed.Naturally,Allen slips on a colorful suit and becomes the Flash,a hero(24)______________ extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys.But the Flash also has other purposes,namely finding out the truth behind his mother’s death and his father’s unjust imprisonment.In line with superhero series standards,The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects.There’s nothing terribly innovative here,but(25)_______________we do get is a unique superhero with a more unusual personality.(26)____________________________Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience,in this show he grows into a superhero(27) ______________powers include optimism.He’s got a group of scientists that not only save his life,but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary(28)______________(fight) crime.A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character,who uses a gun that(29)______________turn anything into shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends,but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller’s wonderful acting.Now Miller’s back to act in The Flash.(30)______________is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite,although this time around he’s an antagonist(反派角色).松江区2019学年度第一学期期末质量监控试卷Climbing the world’s highest mountain could not have been further from Xia Boyu’s mind as a25-year-old in1974,when he played for the provincial soccer team in Qinghai.But when the Chinese Mountaineering Association announced it was looking for climbers to join an upcoming journey,Xia put in an application so that he(21)_________at least get a free health check-up.After just a few months of training,Xia and his fellow climbers started climbing the 8,848-metre mountain in January1975.However,Xia suffered such severe frostbite(冻伤)after lending a teammate his sleeping bag(22)_________he later lost both of his feet.Three years later,a foreign expert(23)_________(invite)to assess Xia’s condition concluded that with artificial legs,Xia would be able to walk again and even climb mountains.It made him determined to challenge(24)_________to climb Mount Qomolangma again.Xia set himself a demanding schedule,(25)_________(wake)at5a.m.to train for five or six hours.Unfortunately,Xia suffered another major setback in1996,when he(26)_________ (diagnose)with lymphoma(淋巴瘤).He had to undergo another round of amputation(截肢), losing part of his legs.It was not until2014that he was able to organize a team to make another attempt at scaling the world’s highest mountain.Sadly,his team arrived at Qomolangma Base Camp,only to be informed that all journeys had been stopped,following an avalanche(雪崩)(27)_________had killed16people.The Nepalese government announced a ban on double-amputee climbers on Qomolongma in December2017,but it didn’t last long after a protest(28)_________a disabled support group.

They had no illustrations,and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales(25) __________.Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began their work at a time(26)__________Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon.The new rulers restricted local culture.As young scholars,the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany.(27)_______the brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales,Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of1857.In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents,he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles.To this day,parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories:keep your promises,don’t talk to strangers,work hard,obey your parents.Yet(28)_______all Wilhelm’s additions,the most important part of these stories was left untouched.The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments handed out to the stories’bad guys are too much for some parents.So what accounts for their popularity?Some have suggested that it is(29)_______the characters are always striving for happiness.But the truth probably lies in their origin.Grimms’tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without boundaries(界限)of age or culture.The brothers’skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)_______moods or interests we bring to our reading of them.And so it was that the Grimms’fairy tales lived happily ever after.杨浦区2019学年度第一学期高三模拟质量调研Killer RabbitsYou’d never think of rabbits as dreadful,destructive creatures,would you?Rabbits are cute and loveable.However,Australians discovered(21)________harm these cute creatures can do the hard way.Rabbits were introduced to Australia in1788as food animals.By1827,they were running around large estates,and in1859,disaster struck.A man released12wild rabbits onto his property for hunting and he(22)________have thought that was harmless fun.But Australia has no predators(捕食者)(23)________(adapt)to killing rabbits and none of the diseases that kept their populations(24)________control in Europe.The loose rabbits bred like,well,rabbits,and began to take over the countryside.Within a few decades,there were millions.By1950,there were600 million rabbits in Australia.Six hundred million hungry rabbits could do real harm.They caused more damage than any other species introduced to the continent.They ate native plant species(25)________they disappeared.They competed for food and shelter with native animals.They caused the extinction or endangerment of numerous plant and animal species.And they were a nightmare for cattle and sheep farmers,(26)_________animals couldn't get enough grass to eat and starved.The rabbits did some good,of course.They provided food for poor families.They supported fur industries.But their impact on the environment and major livestock economy was too negative (27)________(ignore).People tried trapping them.They even built a huge wall against them.But(28)________(effective)weapon was a virus.(29)_________(test)multiple times,the deadly myxoma virus was released on Australia's rabbits in1950.The virus had been developed very carefully to affect only rabbits.Nearly100 percent of the rabbits who caught the disease(30)________(die).Populations fell.It was a huge success.Cattle and sheep farming recovered gradually,and threatened plants were better protected.

The discovery of the Waitaha penguin species,which has been extinct for 500 years, is exciting news for the scientific community (1)________ it gives new insight into how past extinction events can help shape the present environment.The researchers uncovered the Waitaha penguin remains while studying New Zealand's rare yellow﹣eyed penguin. The team wanted to investigate the effects (2)________ humans have had on the now endangered species. They studied centuries﹣old bones from (3)________ they thought were yellow﹣eyed penguins and compared them with the bones of modern yellow﹣eyed penguins. Surprisingly, some of the bones were older than (4)________ (expect). Even more shockingly, the DNA in the bones indicated that they didnot belong to yellow﹣eyed penguins. The scientists concluded that these very old bones (5)________ have belonged to a previously unknown species, which they named the Waitaha penguin.By studying the bones, scientists further concluded that the Waitaha penguin was once native (6)________ New Zealand. But after the settlement of humans on the island country,its population (7)________ (wipe) out.Based on the ages of the bones of both penguin species, the team discovered a gap in time between the disappearance of the Waitaha and the arrival of the yellow﹣eyed penguin. The time gap indicates that the extinction of the Waitaha penguin created the opportunity for the yellow﹣eyed penguin population (8)________ (migrate) to New Zealand.(9)________ yellow﹣eyed penguins thrived (兴盛) in New Zealand for many years, that species now also faces extinction. The yellow﹣eyed penguin today is considered one of the world's (10)________ (rare) species of penguin, with an estimated population of 7,000 that is now the focus of an extensive conservation effort in New Zealand.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Many are sensitive to bright light or loud noises, and others have physical problems, like trouble walking or picking up small objects. Some have (4)_______ disabilities, but about half have average or above average IQs. It's also common for people with autism to have a great long﹣term memory for certain details, and many excel in math, science, music, or art.With such a wide variety of symptoms, no two people with ASD are alike. The behaviors vary so much that they used to be (5)_______ as different disorders. One was Asperger Syndrome, where people obsess over particular topics,(6)_______nonverbal social cues,and may not understand appropriate social behaviors.Even though there's no cure for ASD, therapy and medication can help peopleadjust. Scientists are also doing clinical (7)_______ to find other solutions. They've learned that 1 out of every 68 children in the US has the disorder, but they still aren't sure what causes it. No matter why it happens, ASD is being (8)_______ at a higher rate every year. This doesn't mean it's becoming more common. It just means more people are aware of the condition and getting professional help early, and awareness is (9)_______. The more we learn about autism, the more we can understand and relate to those who have it.It's important to note that people with ASD deserve the same respect, fairness and chances that people without ASD receive. This will help people with ASD (10)_______ and grow in our communities.III.

HurrayHere's the deal: You're as hungry as a horse and you want a delicious meal from a fine restaurant, but you're a little low on funds.So what do you do? If you happen to live in Europe, the answer is as easy as pie: You pull out your smartphone or tablet, and tap Too Good To Go, Europe's most popularapp. Approximately 23, 000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost.Why all this incredible generosity? Unbelievably, one﹣third of the world's food is thrown away, and nearly one billion people don't have enough to eat. Besides, burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. That's why environment﹣minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones, tablets, and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it.After a long day at work, Anne, a 34﹣year﹣old student, pulls out her smartphone andchooses a noodle dish﹣pasta with mushrooms. Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River, where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a scoop of free ice cream, which is a reward for bringing her own container.Indeed, there are many programs serving the same mission around the world. In America, people are using an app called Food for All. One hour before a restaurant closes, its staff can post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices. The app also allows customers to donate leftover meals to others.In the Netherlands, 77, 000 people have downloaded an app called NoFoodWasted. This program allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expiration dates with customers who might need them.Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a stepfurther. France and the Czech Republic, for example, have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocery stores from throwing away food. Instead, workers are required to donate that food to charity.So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables. The planet will thank you.(1)What is this passage mainly about?________A Restaurants can post leftover meals on the app Food for All.B Apps are designed connecting leftover food with people in need.C Stores share food approaching their expiration dates with customers.D It's popular for people to claim food that might otherwise be thrown away..(2)What is the result when lots of food is thrown out and later burned up?________A Carbon dioxide is given off, worsening the problem of climate change.B Some countries have laws making restaurants donate the food they make.C Governments have made many apps that let people find cheap meals.D Nearly one billion people on the planet do not get enough food to eat..(3)What can you infer from the passage?________A Anne packed a tasty pasta and mushroom dish to give away to charity.B The restaurant Anne visits sells its leftover food at a discount each day.C The 80﹣percent ﹣off deal offered on app is not available during lunch hours.D Laws have been passed to prevent restaurants from throwing out leftover food..(4)This passage would be most useful for a student research project on________.A application of technology to help solve the problem of leftover foodB laws to help promote the safe transportation and sale of food productsC restaurants using high﹣tech solutions to reduce packaging wasteD methods to design apps that connect restaurants with customers.5.

Imagine how you'd feel if you had to get more than 9, 000 tons of junk out to the sidewalk. That's how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, there's about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low﹣Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.________But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, there's the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the "graveyard orbit."Maybe you're thinking, "Why should I care about garbage 12, 500 miles above me? " Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us﹣mobile games, Instagram, cat videos﹣could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around upthere, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high﹣speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast﹣moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.________ Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.________ Here's the best part﹣while reentering Earth's atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. ________ In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, "Hallo, space trash!"(1)The word "obsolete" (paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to "________".A accessibleB profitableC floatingD outdated.(2)According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question mark in thediagram?________A Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt.B Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations.C There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added.D The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites are located..(3)Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon?________A Sentences ①B Sentence ②C Sentence ③D Sentence ④.(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?________A Space Junk Harms Digital SystemsB Artists' Proposal to Save SpaceC A New Glimpse into Outer SpaceD Test of Waste Collection Nets.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.7. A. If the intellectual worth of a college degree can be accurately measured, more people will seek higher education﹣and come out better thinkers.B. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no significant gains in such mental abilities during their school years.C. Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are frustrating, and mostly confirm earlier studies.D. Many can't reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non﹣technical problems.E. Yet like many college teachers in the U.S., the professors remain doubtful that their work as educators can be measured by a "learning outcome" such as a graduate's ability to investigate and reason.F. It is important to identify the common goals of general higher education and translate them into the design of the learning outcomes assessment.How Colleges Can Measure Up in Teaching "Critical Thinking"After becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the teachingstaff to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education's most important goals: critical thinking skills.(1)________ Mr. Daniels needed to justify the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is "very important" has fallen dramatically in the last 5﹣6 years.Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students' critical thinking skills.(2)________ However, they need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors could use standard grading scale to measure how well students did in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication and language literacy.(3)________ The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or language literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation.American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real﹣world learning. Knowledge﹣based degrees are still important, but employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduates.(4)________IV. Summary Writing8. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.New Research on Kids' Poor Math AchievementIf the thought of a math test makes you break out in a cold sweat, Mom or Dad may be partly to blame, according to the new research published in Psychological Science.A team of researchers found that children of math﹣anxious parents learned less math over the school year and were more likely to be math﹣anxious themselves﹣but only when these parents provided frequent help on the child's math homework.Previous research from this group has established that when teachers are anxious about math, their students learn less math during the school year. The current study is novel in that it establishes a link between parents' and children's math anxiety. These findings suggest that adults' attitudes toward math can play an important role in children's math achievement."We often don't think about how important parents' own attitudes are in determining their children's academic achievement. But our work suggests that if a parent is walking around saying 'Oh, I don't like math' or 'this stuff makes me nervous,' kids pick up on this messaging and it affects their success," explained Beilock, professor in psychology."Math﹣anxious parents may be less effective in explaining math concepts to children, and may not respond well when children make a mistake or solve a problem in a novel way," added Levine, Beilock's colleague.438 first﹣ and second﹣grade students and their primary caregivers participated in the study. Children were assessed in math achievement and math anxiety at both the beginning and end of the school year. As a control, the team also assessed reading achievement, which they found was not related to parents' math anxiety. Parents completed a questionnaire about their own nervousness and anxiety around math and howoften they helped their children with math homework.The researchers believe the link between parents' math anxiety and children's math performance stems more from math attitudes than genetics.V.
