Born in 1823 in Wales , Alfred Russel Wallace was a man of modest means , but he had a passion for nature and he chose to follow it . He started out collecting insects as a hobby , but eventually his longing for adventure led him to explore the world .

Luckily for Wallace , Victorian Britain was discovering an interest in weird and wonderful insets ,so the demand from museums and private collections for these bests was growing . Wallace was able to make a living doing what he loved : collecting beetles and other insects .

But his first trip of exploring the world ended in disaster . Wallace proceeded to the Amazon in South America . Its giant forests promised a wealth of new species , sure to put him on the scientific map . The trip took 6 weeks and involved every mode of transport in existence at the time . After four years Wallace had to watch in despair as his samples went up in flames ----including live animals he was bringing home that were trying to jump free of the flames . But he did not let it stop him .

In 1854, Wallace set off on another adventure , this time to the Malay Archipelago . Wallace found himself humbled by the new and exciting things he saw. He later recalled : “ As I lie listening to these interesting sounds , I think how many besides myself have longed to see with their own eyes the many wonderful and beautiful things which I am daily encountering .”

In 1858, Wallace wrote what became as the ‘Temate essay “: a piece of writing that was to change our understanding of life forever . In his essay , Wallace argued that a species would only turn into another species if it

was struggling for existence . Henry W. Bates was one of many scientists delighted by the idea of evolution by natural selection .

(C)

Naquela Wright’s life took an unexpected turn when she lost her eyesight as a teenager, but even when her world became immersed in darkness, the New Jersey resident didn’t want to quit social media.

Using Facebook was a challenge at first. Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri, a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision, Wright learned how to use a screen reader to read the site through the touch of keyboard and sound of a robotic voice. Still, when a friend sends her in a photo, Wright often has no clue what the image shows.

Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what’s in an image.

“I can have a basic picture in my mind of what’s going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own,” said Wright, who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested. “Of course, it’s different, but it’s something more than I had.”

An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally, according to the World Health Organization, and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring out what’s in a photo because the description isn’t clear or doesn’t exist.

Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings, adding alternative text for images, launching keyboard shortcuts, and more. Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts.

With 1.5 billion users, Facebook isn’t the o nly social media company that wants to improve its website for the visually impaired. Along with Facebook and other major tech firms, Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called “Teaching Accessibility.”

Jeff Wieland, Facebook’s head of accessibility engineering, said the group wants to educate more engineers, especially early on in college, about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others. “We really don’t want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies,” Wieland said. “We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in mind.”

63. What tool helps the visually disabled to read Facebook?

A. A screen reader

B. A special keyboard

C. A helpful robot

D. HTML headings

64 What can be inferred from the passage about the new tool created by Facebook?

A. It adds a lot of shortcuts on the keyboard.

B. It helps users to employ their senses other than sight

C. It meets no competitors with its advanced technology.

D. It inspires more engines to explore artificial intelligence

65. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “are compatible with” most probably means ________.

A. are unaffordable to

B. bring harm to

C. keep company of

D. well suit

66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. Screen reader: tool to access social media

B. Ongoing effort: strength to improve websites

C. Artificial intelligence: power to help the blind

D. Teaching accessibility: initiative to educate engineer

Section C

Directions：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence

Your Own Best Friend

Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech ahead of time. you’ll have felt the social restriction against communicating with yourself in words. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.

___67___ Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a narrative of our experience.

Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voice to her frustrations. ___68___ We do a lot of it when we are young – perhaps one reason for our shyness about continuing with it as adults.

As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of other. ___69___.

Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person:“you”rather than “I”.

We internalize the private speech we use as children – but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. ___70___ You’re sure to see an athlete or two getting themselves ready for a sharp phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.

Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.

Ⅳ. Summary Writing

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.

Moustache（胡子）for Cash

“Movember”, as the annual event is known, sees men in countries including the UK, US and Australia grow out their facial hair while collecting sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues, with the money going to cancer charities.

The month of no shaving began unofficially in 2003, when a pair of men from Australia persuaded their family to join them in growing a moustache in order to encourage men to get themselves checked for cancer, which is seen as distasteful by some males. A year later, the group decided to set up the Movember Foundation, asking friends and colleagues to offer donations of money to support their efforts, and raised a massive A$54,000 which was shared between a number of health projects. With thanks most likely a social media, Movember soon went global and the foundation now operates worldwide. having raised over ￡440 million since 2004. The effects of the fundraising are wide-reaching, which had made a significant discovery in the treatment of cancer.

The issue of some men being too self-willed to visit their doctor for a checkup, or perhaps being raised in a culture of “touch it out”，has led some males to neglect their health, which may mean it could be too late if something potentially deadly did develop. However, Movember is helping to break down the shame of male to

appeal to men in a way that other campaigns just don’t – with a sort of blokey①jokiness.

①blokey：behaving in a way that is supposed to be typical of men, especially men enjoying themselves in a group.

2017年上海高考英语真题试卷_上海市2017高考英语试卷及参考答案 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school. One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools. At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application.

Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information. Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state. Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools. For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest. 21. The passage is mainly written to______. A. introduce famous universities in the United Stales B. show some practical ways to apply an ideal college C. advertise for successful applications and advisors D. offer tips to save money on college application fees 22. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph？ A. Write down your favorite universities. B. Reduce the number of your university choices. C. Apply to two universities each time. D. Mind your safety when applying to college. 23. Some schools offer free online application to______, A. receive fees faster than before B. employ someone else to work C. cut down the cost of employment D. enter the application information 24. It can be known from the passage that______, A. application fee might be canceled conditionally
