Section B

Directions: 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)

When having an interview, it’s not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. A void a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where they’ll put you on the spot and they’ll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results.

In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked.

To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. Y ou make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. Y ou have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs.

65. What should you think about when having an interview?

A. How to express what you want to say.

B. How to use a flat monotone voice.

C. How to ask very detailed questions.

D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.

66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you needn’t explain _________.

A. the action you took

B. the results you got

C. your eagerness to carry out the project

D. a situation or a task that you were given

67. What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A. To give suggestions on having an interview.

B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer.

C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before interview.

D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.

A. Two cats and a dog.

B. A cat, a dog and a parrot.

C. Two dogs and an unspecified animal.

D. A dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal.

(C)

The requisite visit happened typically on every Saturday, when my child spirits were at their highest as it was sunny and could be most weakened by the narrow inner part of my grandmother’s house. My mother, accustomed to the bright, spacious farmhouse that was Grandma’s, seemed no less sensitive to the darkness. She would set her jaw and listened when Grandma described how many small illnesses appeared as she grew older and would check her watch—an hour being the minimum she expected herself to endure. Her barely contained impatience and my grandmother’s disabled age radiated out around me.

I would sit at the white and red metal table with the pull-out and built-in silverware drawer, cracking almonds(杏仁). This was the one good thing at Grandma’s house, the almonds, which she kept in a green glass bowl. I would lift the lid carefully and try to set it down on the metal table quietly, then attempt to crack the nuts without scattering the shell crumbs（碎屑）. It was not good to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s. Sounding angry, she would call to me in her long drawl(长调). When I failed to understand her, she would reach out to me with her trembling and wrinkled hand and shout, “Here!”She would be offering some of her handmade candy, which tasted a little bitter.

There was this painful air in the dim house with its old furniture and its dark colours, an awareness that Grandma’s age scared her grandkids. I would long during the dutiful visit to get outside into the yard, where Grandma had transplanted a few flowers when she moved from the farm. But even the yard, with its overgrown hedges(篱笆) and rusted metal lawn chairs, seemed dull. When I came back inside, light and air bursting in with me, Grandma, her hair up, would rock a little and smile. I would lean then against my mother’s chair, Grandma’s fond eyes staring at me, and whisper out of the corner of my mouth, “Mom, can we go?”

72. From the overall context of the passage, it is most likely that the word requisite means

___________.

A. essential

B. recreational

C. happy

D. expected

73. My mother ___________.

A. owned a bright, spacious farmhouse

B. listened to grandma carefully and patiently

C. described her small illnesses to me

D. would listen to grandma for at least one hour

74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. I would sit at the white and red metal table, cracking almonds.

B. I would lift the lid quickly enough to set it down on the metal table.

C. It was impolite to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlson’s.

D. Grandma had transplanted a few flowers in the yard.

75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. The Weekly Visit

B. The Grandma’s Love

C. A Family Reunion

D. My joyful Saturdays

Section C

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

There are many ways to help you improve your memory.

76.

Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you spend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. Y ou’ll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. They’re a great way to add more study time to your schedule.

77.

When you have a list to memorize, divide the list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter ones—and, for some

reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them.

78.

Give yourself visual assistance in memorizing. If there’s a tricky combination of letters in a word you need to spell, for example, circle or underline it in red or highlight it in the text. Y our eye will recall what the word looks like. With some information, you can even draw a map or picture to help you remember.

79.

Give yourself auditory assistance in memorizing. Many people learn best if they hear the information. Sit by yourself in a quiet room and say aloud what you need to learn. Or give your notes to someone else and let that person ask you or quiz you on the material.

80.

When you study right before going to bed and don’t allow any interference—such as conversation, radio, television, or music—to come between study and sleep, you remember material better. This is especially true if you review first thing after waking as well. A rested and relaxed brain seems to hang on to information better than a tired and stressed-out brain.

Section D

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

It is foolish to dream of reversing history. We cannot pass laws forbidding science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will not merely stay, they will grow smarter, faster, and more useful every year. They will continue growing because engineers want to build them, scientists want to use them, industrialists want to employ them, scientists want to enlist them in new weapons systems, politicians want their help in the processes of government. In short, they will flourish（兴旺）because they enable us to finish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to improve our intelligence for the same reason that engines continue to strengthen our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not, but rather, since we are going to have them, how can we make the most intelligent use of them?

Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.

Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: For all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

81. How will the computing machines change every year?

82. Why will the computing machines keep growing?

83. The question we must ask mentioned in Para. 1 is _____________.

84. From the warning at the end of the passage, we can conclude computers should not be used to

_____________.

Directions: In Part B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages 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. (12分)

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Reading newspapers is an important part of our daily life. But do you know how a newspaper is made?

There are many steps to making a newspaper. Take Teens for example. On Monday, editors and reporters hold a meeting to decide on the stories for the week’s paper. On Tuesday and Wednesday, reporters write news stories. Cartoonists draw cartoons and photographers take pictures to match the stories. Foreign editors check the language.

On Thursday, page designers put the stories, cartoons and pictures on the pages. Editors read through the stories to find mistakes and write headlines and captions.

Friday is a busy day. Page designers print the page drafts. Editors read pages and check them again. At night, Teens comes out in the printing house.

Teens is a weekly newspaper. Daily newspapers have all the same steps, but do them all in a day instead of a week.

Questions:

11. What’s editors’ task on Monday?

12. Who are probably not busy on Tuesday and Wednesday?

13. What is the passage mainly about?

Keys: 11. A 12. D 13. C

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and want to try their luck and become rich enough to buy a larger flat. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.

Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stocks may go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.

Questions:

14. What is a stock market?

15. Why do rich people go to stock markets?

16. What does the passage mainly tell us?

Keys: 14. C 15. A 16. C

2018届上海各区高三英语一模——summary汇编

【2018宝山区—一模】 IV. Summary Writing Secure payment without leaving a trace Computer scientist Andy Rupp, member of the “Signaling Code and Security” working group, is always surprised about lacking problem awareness: only few users are aware of the fact that by using payment systems they disclose in detail how and what they consume or which routes they have taken. To prevent control of the accounts by dishonest users, customer data and account balances of payment are usually carried out with the help of a central database. In every payment deal, the customer is identified and the details of her/his deal are transmitted to the central database. This repeated identification process produces a data trace that might be misused by the provider or third parties. The expert has now presented the basics of an “electronic purse” that works by unknown names, but prevents misuse at the same time. The “black-box addition plus” (BBA+) code system developed by them transfers all necessary account data to the card used or the smartphone and guarantees their secrets with the help of signaling code methods. At the same time, BBA+ offers security guarantees for the operator of the payment system: The code system guarantees a correct account balance and is mathematically constructed such that the identity of the user is disclosed as soon as the attempt is made to pay with a controlled account. “Our new code system guarantees privacy and security for customers during offline operation as well,” Andy Rupp says. “This is needed for ensuring the payment system’s suitability for daily use. Think of a subway doorway or a payment bridge. There you may have no internet connection at all or it is very slow.” Also its high efficiency makes the code system suited for everyday use: During first test runs, researchers completed payments within about one second. ①when customers use payment systems, most of them don’t realize the fact that by doing so, they risk( take the risk of ) losing privacy. ②Researchers have now developed a secure system called BBA+, which works anonymously and avoids misuses as well. ③moreover ( apart from / besides the security of privacy), it also proves to be efficient for daily use.(47 words) 【2018—崇明区一模】 IV.
