Another two billion are (42) ______: they are infected, but don’t have symptoms of the disease. Th ose at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone (43) ______ with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid（异烟肼，抗结核药）for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is (44)______. As a(n)(45) ______, Sterling and his colleagues (46) ______ isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine（利福喷汀）.The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months. And the results of this study showed that the new treatment plan ---- the three months of isoniazid and rifapentine---- was as effective as the nine–month isoniazid treatment plan. (47)______, the short-course, three-month treatment plan had higher treatment completion rates and was also well (48) ______.There was some other difference. The two-drug, combination treatment was administered as directly (49) ______ therapy. That means the patients took their medicine in the presence of a health care worker, to ensure that they followed the treatment plan.

The government health agency recommends the 12-dose weekly combination treatment as an equal alternative to the 270–dose daily treatment plan that has been the (54)______therapy. But because of possible (55) ______ issues, the CDC still recommends the daily treatment plan for HIV–positive patients who are taking antiretroviral drugs or women who are pregnant.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If a person who lived 200 years ago was treated for a seizure（癫痫）today, they would be surprised by the treatment’s freshness. That’s because doctors in the 1800s wer e influenced more by original medical beliefs than science.Rather than thinking the brain caused seizures, people in the 1800s still thought they were the result of strange forces. They associated seizures with the work of evil spirits. Others felt that the seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause. They believed that the cycles of the moon and stars could make someone have a seizure.During a process to treat a patient who has seizures, doctors would force the patient to pray for the grace of the God. They thought if the patient did this, then the patient would rid themselves of the evil spirits causing the seizures.The arrival of modern psychiatry（精神病学）occurred during the 1800s. At that time people who suffered from seizures were placed in psychiatric hospitals. They were treated like they were mad. However, none of the out-of-date treatments worked.It wasn’t until the late 1850s that the causes of seizures were understood. We know today that these causes are related to the brain. Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking reflex（反射）in the body. These usually occur when someone is very tired.Once the causes of seizures were known, definitive treatments were developed.Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery. Treatment is personalized according to thetype of seizure the patient has.Even today, some people are unsure about seizures. Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue. They often push some implement roughly in the person’s mouth. However, this doesn’t help. The implement often blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing. Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures. Instead, they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure.56. Why would someone from the past be surprised by today’s treatments for seizures?A. Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures.B. Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature.C. Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures.D. Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself.57. During the arrival of modern psychiatry, how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals?A. They were forced to ask the God for mercy.B. They worked for the old-fashioned treatment.C. They were considered senseless.D. They were treated as evil spirits.58. Which of the following condition can cause a seizure?A. Rashes and other skin problems.B. Infected wounds.C. Stomach disorders.D. Brain injuries.59. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Symptoms Old and NewB. Universal Forces or ScienceC. Seizures Now and ThenD. Treatments Effective or Not(B)How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans （猩猩）Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ---- times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time.Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas（逆戟鲸）Killer whales join their mother’s famili al group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” last s just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period of coddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.60. According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A. Harp seals.B. African elephantsC. Orcas.D. Wolf spiders.61. What can we learn from the sentence “But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days”?A. Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B. The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C. Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D. Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.62. Who will be interested in this passage?A. A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B. A kid who is keen on animal watching.C. A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D. A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.(C)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks, a side product has materialized in recent years: robot-babysitting.In Phoenix, human attendants will remotely monitor Google’s upcoming Waymo robot-taxis, using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges. State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans. These professionals’ job titles range from “robot handler”to “safety driver,” but they have essentially the same responsibilities: monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance, and answeringquestions about the technology. Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering, and programming. However, some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting –-- the kind that is boring and doesn’t require muc h education –-- can make for thankless work. The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting” a nd “demanding,” and many told me about the constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times. “It’s incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,” Ramsey said. “But you do not need a Ph.D. to do it.” In March 2018, the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe, Arizona, hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg. Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela V asquez, the car’s safety driver, had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred. Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 10 million to 800 million jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. In the long term, i t’s inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters. But they’ll also birth new robot-related roles.“A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,” Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a community college in Michigan, in auto-vehicle repair: Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well. “We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,”Ramsey said. “Until we can wirelessly charge, someone needs to refuel them.” The hardest-to-automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans: childcare, education, health-care aides. Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future. But in fact, real babysitters might be better positioned.63. Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include _______________.A. answering the questions about the technique.B. observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C. monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D. maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.64. The underlined word “vigilant” most probably means “.”A. gratefulB. suspiciousC. fitD. alert65. According to Ramsey, what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A. A lot of opportunities will be created.B. A large number of people will be out of work.C. Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D. Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.66. What’s this passage mainly about?A. The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B. The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C. The Life and Employment of the Future.D. The Position of Robot Babysitters.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.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe, there are a couple that are of great importance to people on Earth. The sun, of course, is one of them. The other is known as Polaris, the North Star.(67) __________. Therefore, it is a great compass（指南针）.When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris, they can be certain that they are facing north. The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools, sailors relied on Polaris. From the top of their ships, sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea. They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude（纬度）. As long as the equations were not wrong, the results were very reliable. Polaris also let sailors determine North, South, East, and West. (68) _____________To those who sail at night, changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.(69)_____________.It’s possible for a captain to make an accidentalwrong turn. The ship could become stranded at sea, and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course. The sailor’s fears wouldn’t be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today, sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.(70)___________. The Big Dipper, a constellation that is well known in astrology, appears to revolve around Polaris. The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star. When people get lost, it’s comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.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.71.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media, the distance between friends is smaller than ever. But doesthat make us happier? Not necessarily. Arecent study has found spending too muchtime comparing your life with the seeminglyperfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We’ve all done it---- browsing through our WeC hat friends’updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head inour minds: Are their homes bigger and more tasteful? Are their vacationsmore expensive and exciting? Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy. The moretime you spend on social media, the morelikely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms, according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers, examinesthe potential impact online social comparison can have on a person’s men tal health.“The underlying mechanism is socialcomparison,”Steers said.“Thereason why you feel these feelings is that youtend to socially compare yourself with yourfriends.”This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic, Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progressand measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people. That socialcomparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity. Research has sincefound that making social comparisons, especially upward comparisons(to people we think above us for whatever reason), areassociated with negative health outcomeslike depressive symptoms and decreasedself-esteem.“You can’t really control the strong desire to compare because you never know whatyour friends are going to post. Inaddition, most of our friends tend to postabout the good things that occur in theirlives, while leaving out the bad. If we’recomparing ourselves with our friends’‘sharable highlights’, this may lead us to think theirlives are better than they actually are, and thus make us feel worse about ourown lives.”So if you are the jealous type, maybethink about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on it.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 尽管他已经非常尽力，他还是没能弥补损失。

上海市2019年中考英语二模汇编：阅读回答问题宝山They exist in every school. Some use words, and others use physical violence (暴力）.No matter what the methods are, the result is the same: bullies make you feel bad and make going to school a lot more difficult. What can you do about them? Luckily, dealing with bullies is not as hard as you think. Just follow these simple steps, and there is a good chance you will survive the bullies at your school without getting hurt.The first step to take when dealing with bullies is to understand them. Most bullies make others feel bad so they feel better about themselves. Their main goal is to make you upset so they feel in control. The best way to deal with this is to avoid them all together. Don't walk near them, change your seat in class, or if they come up to you, walk away. If you can successfully ignore(对…不予理踩）a bully for a few days, you will probably be left alone.When it is impossible to ignore the bully, you will have to take further steps. Bullies prefer to target kids who they think are weak and vulnerable. The next time you see a bully, pretend to feel very brave and confident. If the bully says something to you, say “Stop it! "in a strong voice and walk away. If you see a bully picking on someone else, do the same. Bullies normally do not like confrontation(对抗).If they still pick on you, the next step is to report the bully to a teacher. Bullies have been around for a long time, so experienced teachers will know how to deal with them. The bully will get into trouble and the teacher will get ready to be on watch all the time.Bullies can give you big trouble. However, if you act quickly, you can almost always keep them from bothering(烦扰）you. Just remember to never get in a fight with a bully. Fighting will almost always make the situation worse. Be smart when dealing with bullies and you should survive without getting hurt!88. Is there a good chance to survive the bullies if you follow the simple steps?89. What is the main goal of the bullies?90. Why do we need to pretend to be brave and confident?91. What is the next step if the bullies still pick on you?92.

I felt too lazy to drive my car, so I called a taxi. The taxi arrived at my door at 6:00 a.m. and I got into it.

I have done my MBA courses.”“Oh, wow! Why did you choose this job then, instead of going for a business or financial career?”I should see her face in the rear view mirror（后视镜）. She smiled and expressed her opinion.I was really amazed.Very politely, she said, “I have been enthusiastic（感兴趣的）about driving since I was a child. I have fulfilled my childhood dream. I do respect each and every job. I don’t mind whether a job is good or bad in other people’s eyes. I want a job where I can get satisfaction.

Here are the stor ies of a few of them.Michael Jordan (born 1963) is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, he himself admits that it hasn’t been easy. In a famous advertisement for Nike, he says, “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted（委托）to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”Albert Einstein (1879-1955) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t alwa ys considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, and he was expelled （开除）from school. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress”Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War （美国南北战争）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous business that failed, he went bankrupt（破产）twice and was defeated in 26 campaigns（竞选）for public offi ce. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”J.K. Rowling (born 1965) is the author of the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and one of the richest women in the world. But before publishing the books, she was penniless, depressed and trying to raise a child on her own. In a speech at Harvard in 2008, she said, “I had failed so greatly. After a short-lived marriage, I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure Iknew.”So you see, just keep going!88. How many times has Michael Jordan missed the game winning shot?89. What happened to Albert Einstein in 1921?90. Which did Abraham Lincoln care more about, whether he failed or how to face with his failure?91. J.K. Rowling is one of the richest women in Britain, isn’t she?92. What was J.K. Rowling’s life like before Harry Potter Books were published?93. What do you think of failure? How do you overcome failure in your life? (Please give an example to explain)黄浦My mother often asked me, “What is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.”She said. “No. Many people are deaf. But try to use your head a nd I will ask you again soon.”Then last year, my grandma died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My mum looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?“I was surprised when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the conclusion on my face and told me, “This questions is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with t ears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder(肩膀)。

Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Steve, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore all the things to proper order. So, we should clean it up.” He used sponge (海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, “You have a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hand. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.

I'll never forget seeing you for the first time when you were born. You were the sweetest little baby wrapped in a soft white blanket. How I loved kissing and holding you! I was a teenager and loved carrying you around. Sometimes people asked if you were my baby. I must have looked like a very young mother, but how proud I was in those moments.However, things started to change for me as I never felt quite wanted. How sad when it was that I felt so jealous(嫉妒的) of you.Before your arrival. Mum was in no hurry to buy the things that I needed. But later I always had to wait and wait for her to pay my school fees or buy books and clothes. Everything was always late! How much more upsetting that my birthday and Christmas presents were only ever things that I urgently（急迫地）needed, such nightdress andbooks?Your situation was different and Mum always made sure that you had the best of everything quickly. when you got a horse for your 6th birthday and started riding lessons, how jealous I was!I slowly turned cold towards you and never gave you the warm hugs that you expected from me or showed an interest in your horse or your medals. I remember your sad face, probably wondering why I didn’t seem to care about you.Today I considered that as I woke up. I have never spoken about this, or why that is so. Today I must say that I am very sorry for hurting your feelings. It was never your fault(错). You were too young to even realize it.All these years, you might have wondered what you did wrong that I didn't often speak with you.Please forgive me! I want to be a real big sister to you again.

My son targeted a company that was going to hire only one person while there were more than twenty people filling their resumes (简历).After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.On the day of the final interview, my son and other two candidates arrived at the interview place on time, waiting for the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple. The interviewer only said to them, all of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our notice. We will tell you the result in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!" On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very disappointed.In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, "Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, "What's the whole matter?" My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually, the first text sent to my son was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son's reply was "Thank you." while the others said “Goodbye”.Only then did I know that my son's “hope” came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say "Thank you." to the one who disappoints you. Saying Thank you." shows respect for others work and shows you are generous. Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!88.When did the author's son begin to seek a job?____________________________________________________________89.Would many companies like to employ new staff because of the financial crisis?____________________________________________________________90.How many people applied for the job?____________________________________________________________91.How did the author feel after being told the news in nightfall that day?____________________________________________________________92.What's the difference between the author's son's answer and the others'?____________________________________________________________93.What do you think of the interview?

Perhaps a person let you go in front of them in a queue. Maybe your sister phoned you to ask how your week was going. Or perhaps a stranger or a friend gave you a hand in a much deeper way. There are a thousand ways to offer kindness. And at a time when the world seems to have so many problems, some people have started to take the issue of kindness very seriously indeed!Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to the receiver as well as the person who does the action. As a simple example, let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise, and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread little joy.Many organizations try to encourage people to do kind acts, wherever and whenever they can. The idea behind this is that it doesn't take any major plan to be kind. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Kindness Foundation, who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness is beautiful skills. They operate under the beliefs that kindness can be taught and that it is contagious(有感染力的). Their activities range from suggesting kind acts to allowing their website-users to become "RAKtivists"(people who officially register themselves as activists of kindness).Apart from using your own common sense, the RAK website suggests some more imaginative ways to show kindness. Generally, these fall into three types. The first is interpersonal kindness. Some examples are donating(捐赠) old clothes to charity or writing an advantageous online idea about restaurant that you like. The second is environmental kindness, which could mean simply recycling or organizing a group event to tidy up a local park or beach. The third type is less clear: personal kindness, which means treating yourself kindly such as taking a walk in parks, inviting yourself to a big meal or setting yourself a goal to complain less.

I said sorry to him and he said, "Excuse me, too, I wasn't even watching for you. ” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you.She picked them herself-pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.”When l heard this, I thought deeply: While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient. I felt sad and tears began to fall.I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up, my dear,” I said, "Are these flowers you picked for me?” She smiled,"I found them by the tree. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue." I said, “I am so sorry that I treated(对待)you that way today.” And she whispered(悄声说)，“Mommy, that's okay-I still love you anyway." I kissed her and said, "I love you too and I do love the flowers.”That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn't realize how important family life was.

The local harbour master, George Reeder,was carrying out his regular duties when he heard a noise that caught his attention. On the other side of the harbour, some people were pointing and shouting, so he cycled over quickly.Mr Reeder expected to see a dog in the sea, but instead, he saw a baby’s buggy(婴儿车)in about four metres of freezing cold water. A woman was screaming desperately—her baby boy was strapped into the buggy and was in the water. The strong wind had blown the buggy into the sea. Mr Reeder quickly decided to do something.‘I went over and saw that the buggy was upside-down…and I jumped in,’ said Mr Reeder. He pulled the buggy over to the sea wall. Then some other people came to help. They tied a rope to the buggy and managed to pull it out of the water and to safety.Tanya Allen, a passer-by（who, fortunately, was a nurse), gave the baby CPR（心肺复苏术）and was able to get himto breathe again. Mr Reeder remembered seeing a little bit of breath coming out of the baby’s mouth. ‘I thought, he is all right. He’s alive. Brilliant!’ he said. Then an air ambulance helicopter arrived and the baby was taken to hospital. Mr Reeder said it was unbelievable that the baby survived. ‘It’s such a miracle,’ Mr Reeder added.After he’d finished helping the baby and the helicopter had gone, Mr Reeder went home to recover from the experience. The child’s grandfather knew Mr Reeder and, a little later, went to his house to tell him that the boy was out of danger. Mr Reeder was very relieved and happy to hear that.Mr Reeder said that he hadn’ t really been brave. ‘It was everyone—from Tanya doing the CPR to the helicopter pilot, ’ he said. ‘I’m just glad I could help’. But when Mr Reeder got the certificate, a reporter said that what he’d done was very brave. ‘This was an extremely brave act, as he put his own life at risk.’ The reporter has advised local people to avoid walking along the seafront in very windy weather.88.Why was George Reeder given a bravery certificate？————————————————————————————————————————89.

A.personal B.crucial C.age D.safetySection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)If a person who lived200years ago was treated for a seizure(癫痫)today,they would be surprised by the treatment's freshness.That's because doctors in the1800s were influenced more by original medical beliefs than science.Rather than thinking the brain caused seizures,people in the1800s still thought they were the result of strange forces.They associated seizures with the work of evil spirits.Others felt that the seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause.They believed that the cycles of the moon and stars could make someone have a seizure.During a process to treat a patient who has seizures,doctors would force the patient to pray for the grace of the God.They thought if the patient did this,then the patient would rid themselves of the evil spirits causing the seizures.The arrival of modern psychiatry(精神病学)ocurred during the1800s.At that time people who suffered from seizures were placed in psychiatric hospitals.They were treated like they were mad. However,none of the out-of-date treatments worked.It wasn’t until the late1850s that the causes of seizures were understood.We know today that these causes.are related to the brain.Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking refer(反射)in the body.These usually occur when someone is very tired.Once the causes of seizures were known,definitive treatments were developed.Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery.Treatment is personalized according to the type of seizure the patient has.Even today,some people are unsure about seizures.Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue.They often push some implement roughly in the person's mouth.However,this doesn’t help.The implement often blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing.Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures.Instead,they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure.56.Why would someone from the past be surprised by today's treatments for seizures?A.Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures.B.Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature.C.Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures.D.Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself.57.During the arrival of modern psychiatry,how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals?A.They were forced to ask the God for mercy.B.They worked for the old-fashioned treatment.C.They were considered senseless.D.They were treated as evil spirits.58.Which of the following condition can cause a seizure?A.Rashes and other skin problems.B.Infected wounds.C.Stomach disorders.D.Brain injuries.59.What's the best title of the passage?A.Symptoms Old and NewB.Universal Forces or ScienceC.Seizures Now and ThenD.Treatments Effective or Not(B)How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion.Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female---dominated groups---and ladies stay there but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros.In their20s,they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans(猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce.But energy efficiency comes at a cost;growth and maturation take time.Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Oreas(逆载鲸)Killer whales join their mother's familial group for life.This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup's chance of survival;if mom dies,a young male(under30)is three times more Iikely to die than a peer whose mother is alive.Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal's“childhood”lasts just12days.A pup's sole purpose during.that brief period of coddling(宠爱)is to constantly nurse,gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂)every day. Once it's fat-they become greater from25to80pounds---it slides off the ice and takes on the sea. Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride.The wolf spider straps all her babies(40or50,on average)onto her back at once,carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood.But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.60.According to the passage,which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A.Harp seals.B.African elephantsC.Oreas.D.Wolf spiders.61.What can we learn from the sentence“But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days?”A.Other grown wolf spiders will come to take care of the babies.B.The toddlers are too heavy for parents to hitch a piggyback ride.C.Baby spiders are able to live on their own after a short period of time.D.Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.62.Who will be interested in this passage?A.A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B.A kid who is keen on animal watching.C.A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors safety.D.A doctor who specializes in animals'health.(C)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks,a side product has materialized in recent years:robot-babysitting.In Phoenix,human attendants w ill remotely monitor Google's upcoming Waymo robot-taxis,using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges.State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans.These professionals job titles range from robot handler to safety driver,but they have essentially the same responsibilities:monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance,and answering questions about the technology.Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation,which include maintenance, engineering,and programming.However,some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting---the kind that is boring and doesn't require much education--can make for thankless work.The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting and demanding,"and many told me about the constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times.It's incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,"Ramsey said.But you do not need a Ph.D.to do it.In March 2018,the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe,Arizona,hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg.Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela Vasquez,the car's safety driver,had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred.Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute,10million to800million jobs globally could be lost to automation by2030.In the long term,it's inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters.But they'll also birth new robot related roles.A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,"Ramsey said.In2016,Bosch started training students from Schooleraft College,a community college in Michigan,in auto-vehicle repair:Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well.We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,Ramsey said.Until we can wirelessly charge,someone needs to refuel them.The hardest-to-automate industries,as it happens,arc the ones that require looking after humans:childcare,education,health-care aides.Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future.But in fact,real babysitters might be better positioned.63.Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include________.A.answering the questions about the technique.B.observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C.monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D.maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.64.The underlined word vigilant most probably means________.A.gratefulB.suspiciousC.fitD.alert65.According to Ramsey,what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A.A lot of opportunities will be created.B.A large number of people will be out of work.C.Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D.Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.66.What's this passage mainly about?A.The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B.The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C.The Life and Employment of the Future.D.The Position of Robot Babysitters.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.A.It's not difficult to tell the Polaris apart from the pile of other stars in the universe.B.People who are lost can be relieved by gazing up at Polaris.C.By knowing directions and their location,sailors could easily steer their ships.D.They could destroy entire journeys by blocking the view of Polaris.E.It's certain that the Polaris is part of a constellation(星座),which is not far from itF.It is special because it is the only star that always appears to be in the same place in the sky.The North StarAmong the pile of stars in the universe,there are a couple that are of great importance to peopleon Earth.The sun,of course,is one of them.The other is known as Polaris,the North Star.(67)__________.Therefore,it is a great compass(指南针).When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris,they can be certain that they are facing north.The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools,sailors relied on Polaris.From the top of their ships,sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea.They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude(EFQ).As long as the equations were not wrong,the results were very reliable.Polaris also let sailors determine North,South,East,and West.(68)__________To those who sail at night,changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.(69)__________:.It's possible for a captain to make an accidental wrong turn.The ship could become stranded at sea,and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course.The sailor's fears wouldn't be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today,sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.(70)__________.The Big Dipper,a constellation that is well known in astrology,appears to revolve around Polaris.The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star.When people get lost,it's comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea of the passage and how it is e your own words as far as possible.71.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media,the distance between friends is smaller than ever.But does that make us happier?Not necessarily.A recent study has found spending too much time comparing your life with the seemingly perfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We've all done it---browsing through our WeChat friends updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head in our minds:Are their homes bigger and more tasteful?Are their vacations more expensive and exciting?Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy.The more time you spend on social media,the more likely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms,according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers,examines the potential impact online social comparison can have on a person's mental health.The underlying mechanism is social comparison,"Steers said.The reason why you feel these feelings is that you tend to socially compare yourself with your friends.This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic,Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progress and measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people.That social comparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity.Research has since found that making social comparisons,especially upward comparisons to people we think above us.for whatever reason), are associated with negative health outcomes like depressive symptoms and decreased self-esteem.You can't really control the strong desire to compare because you never know what your friends are going to post,In addition,most of our friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives,while leaving out the bad.If we're comparing ourselves with our friends"sharable highlights",this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are,and thus make us fee1worse about our own lives."So if you are the jealous type,maybe think about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on itV.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.尽管他已经非常尽力,他还是没能弥补损失。

Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from a rural area, or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It’s possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let’s look at the following important reasons people move.JobsPeople move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from tural areas to urban areas, such as cities, to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories: Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to area called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.New ExperiencesFinally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.As you can see, people move for many reasons.

They h 81 ever see their parents because their parents work in cities, leaving them behind in the countryside to be cared for by their grandparents.As in August, China had 6.97million left-behind children, about one-third of all rural children. With Spring festival arriving, the government is calling on parents working outside to r 82 home and celebrate the new year with their kids. In fact, children living without their parents can face many problems, such as their e 83 , safety and mental（心理的）health. For example, their grandparents may not be able to help them with their homework or raise them properly. This can cause children to have an u 84 feeling, according to Workers’ Day.The government has taken some action to care for and p 85 left-behind children, suchas sending social workers to rural areas. They will r 86 to the government if they find that any left-behind child is suffering from abase（虐待）, China Daily noted.But the best solution is so bring parents and children back t 87 . The government has encouraged those workers to go back to their real hometowns to look for work and business opportunities. Another solutions is to make it easier-for rural children to attend schools in the cities.D.Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）（12 分）kindness goes a long wayWhen I was in college, a what cat lied to show up on our campers now and then. It was clear that he was it stray（流浪的）cat because he looked thin. Students would play with him after class and feed him all kinds of food. The school didn’t say anything about the can for a long time.But one day, we were told that one of our fellow students had a infectious（传染性的）disease and that the cat was possibly the source(来源). After that, we were not allowed any stray animals on campus.

Though the rest of us couldn’t take care of the cat, a security guard at our school decided to take on the responsibility of caring for him. He took the cat to a vet for a health check. He also and , as well as a small bed for him to sleep in. He made sure that the cat was healthy and comfortable.It might seem like a small effort to some people.

Early in the morning, I walked along the country road, appreciating the fresh air. We raised a little dog. He was my best friend, and he accompanied me all the time. No matter what I did and where I went, the little dog was with me and I loved him so much. Sometimes I would pick up the fruit in the garden, sometimes I would catch the fish in the clear river. It was such a happy childhood for me that I will never forget.奉贤区VII. Writing (作文)（共20 分）94.

They were so interesting that I loved them right away. With the passing of the years, I grew up and learned thousands of words. To my great joy, I was soon able to read books by myself. As soon as I finished my homework, I always chose a book and sat in front of my desk to enjoy it.I’m fond of reading novels, and my favorite is “Harry Potter.”. In addition to Harry Potter book, I enjoy reading magazines, newspapers and so on in my free time. Reading not only makes me happy but also gives me plenty of information and knowledge as well.

At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about it.The conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. 1. M: Oh, hello. I am coming to your city with my wife and two kids for a few days in June. I would like some ideas for things to do during our stay.W: Yes, let us start with a couple of events especially for kids. Do they like art?Q: Where does the woman probably work?2. M: Did you have a good time for your picnic in the park with your friends yesterday?W: The weather wa s not so good, so we stayed indoors. We got to see Tom’s cooking talent. Q: What did the woman do yesterday morning?3. M: Teachers in U.K. schools are experimenting with the use of body cameras in class to recordstudents’ bad behavior.W: Are you kidding? Students are not prisoners.Q: What is the woman’s attitude?4. M: When are you leaving for Paris? Christmas is coming and you shouldn’t miss the sale season. W: I am comparing the prices that different travel agencies are offering. January is a good time and I can avoid the winter vacation crowds there.Q: When will the woman set off for Pairs?5. W: When the theater was built, people were slimmer and shorter than now, so the seats were veryclose.M: I see. When we are doing the decoration work, maybe we can install seats that can easily be moved.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?6. M: What is the function of this app? I noticed that it was for nurses and doctors.W: Yes. This app gives hospital staff access to all the computer records of their patients, no matter where they are.Q: What is the use of this app?7. W: It is time to talk about the labor division of the project. Do you mind doing the drawing part? M: I find it quite hard. I would be happier if you did it.Q: What does the man mean?8.

Isn’t it nice just to get away from all the noise?Q: Why does the woman prefer to go to this restaurant?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and short passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.An individual’s intelligence is determined by two factors. The first is the kind of brain he is born with. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is the kind of environment that affects him.The importance of environment can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. The environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens. When they were given tests to measure their intelligence, John’s IQ was 125.25 points higher than the average and 40 points higher than his identical brother.Questions:11. What does the passage mainly talk about?12. Why were the identical twins separated?13. What does John’s higher IQ illustrate?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Who remembers the sound of unwrapping a new record album, the smell of a new car or the excitement of opening the door to a newly bought home? At different times in my life, each one stood for the joy of possession, and the sense of having really arrived.However, my teenage children and their peers do not see things the same way. They wouldrather pay for online music and videos than purchase DVDs or permanent downloads.The changes come in several catalogues. Apps are linking owners of goods and services — bicycles, spare bedrooms, even solar energy — to a host of potential users.We are entering an era in which consumers will value access over ownership and experiences over property.What on earth happened to both consumers and companies that supply them?First of all, when companies are supplying services rather than goods, the relationship between consumers and the things that they use becomes more complex. If I have a record album on my shelf, my husband can clearly play it. But when I link our Amazon Echo speaker to my son’s account, I have no idea whether I am breaking the terms and conditions he agreed to with his account. Furthermore, does that act give Amazon the right to send the advertisements based on the songs we play?In many cases, the shift to a sharing economy will also affect the nature of the goods that are being shared. Currently, most cars spend most of the time sitting idle. If drivers stop buying their own cars and instead sign up for a rental service or use apps such as Uber, each individual vehicle will receive a lot more use. That means carmakers will face pressure to produce fewer, better-made cars.Questions:14. Which of the following might not have contributed to people’s feeling of happiness in the past?15. Which of the following statements is correct?16. What does the passage mainly talk about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following longer conversation.W: Mr. Hanks. May I have a word with you?M: Sure, Maggie. What’s up?W: You see, to promote our coffee products, I have done some marketing research. I followed the business case of Starbucks because it revolutionized the coffee industry. And I desperately need your opinions now.M: Yeah, I saw your report on an analysis of the success of Starbucks. You mentioned that the location of stores is their key to success, right?W: Yes. This is the first essential idea we should have when mapping out our own strategy. I have also made a questionnaire to learn more facts about our potential customers’ needs.M: Good job. Have you reached any conclusion?W: Well, it seems that customers care more about the service of a cafe than the quality of coffee beans and milk, etc. Employees are an extension of the brand.M: What’s your follow-up plan then?W: Staff training. Could you give me some advice?M: I am glad to help. Maybe the most important thing is to get them familiar with our company’s employee handbook. All the policies and procedures are clearly stated there.W: I think we should add more details into the handbook because the manual was written a long time ago.M: Make sure new employees are instructed in coffee making techniques, ordering procedures and product introductions.W: Ok. I will personally take care of it.Questions:17. What is the key to Starbucks’ success?18. What did Maggie do to learn more facts about customers?19. What conclusion did Maggie reach about customers’ needs?20. Why is the employee handbook so important?II.
