The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The tide rises, the tide falls,

Along the sea — sands damp and brown

The traveler hastens toward the town,

And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,

But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;

The little waves, with their soft, white hands,

Efface the footprints in the sands,

And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls

Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;

The day returns, but never more

Returns the traveler to the shore,

And the tide rises, the tide falls.

(B)

Predicting the future is alwa ys risky. But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “Disney ear”. Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald's may be more widely known, but neither concludes 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.

The reasons for Disney's success are quite a lot, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person - the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in other aspects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising -- something his company still does brilliantly today.

But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure that his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements---He achieved this by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some Mickey Mouse, was “inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, show ed how, through hard wok and helping one’s fellow man or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.

Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company -- unlike other big corporations--- had a human face. His Hollywood studio -- the public heard -- operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons praise America, but, during World War II, his studios made training films for American soldiers.

The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists . He agreed to work for the FB1 as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.

But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FB1 agents as bungling incompetents.

By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was as icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" -- the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.

60. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT______________.

A . painting B. creativity C. management D. merchandising

61. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?

A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films

B. He supported Arnorlca’s was efforts in his own way

C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations

D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s

62. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or lets the genuine article” means that _________.

A. Disney was a creative and capable person

B. Disney once agreed to work for the FB1

C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way

D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people

(C)

For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists---that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.

More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was reinforced, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.

Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.

63. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.

A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animals

B. consists of competitiveness and selfishness

C. is something partly innate and partly acquired

D. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior

64. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.

A. the emergence of the evolutionary theory

B. the historical approach to man

C. new insight into human behavior

D. the philosophical analysis of slavery

65. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.

A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”

B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evils

C. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”

D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.

66. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.

A. have some characters in common

B. are born with diverse cultures

C. are born without a fixed nature

D. change their characters as they grow up

Section C

Directions: 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.

1) In a few years you will be able to order a transcript of your entire genetic code for less than $1,000. ____67____Two different university laboratories have developed test that will reveal the enti rety of a baby’s genetic code using just a blood sample from the mother plus a drop of saliva(唾液)from the father.

2) Prenatal(出生前的) whole-genome sequencing will provide volumes of information beyond the currently available tests exclusively for genetic dis orders such as Down’s syndrome or Tay-Saches disease. The three billion units of code furnished in the new tests will also dwarf(使……相形见的) the relative trickle(零散)of information provided by consumer gene-testing services such as 23andMe, which currently look only at perhaps about one million locations in the genome.

3)____68____Without careful panning, the new prenatal genetics might rob a child of the chance to make decisions best left until adulthood---whether or not to learn, for instance, if a mutation(突变)predicts the inevitability of Huntington’s disease 20 years hence.

4)_____69_____. Similar laissez0faire(放住)action to prenatal whole-genome testing could portend(预示)tragedy.

5)Ultimately certain agency will need to develop a comprehensive policy on prenatal whole genome testing. Bioethics scholars wrote an analysis last summer that calls on the medical community to develop a guide to the most relevant genomic data for future parents. ___70___Without access to a much higher level of refined expertise, the secrets of our offspring’s genetic code will continue to remain an unnerving cipher---or worse.

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.

Rocks Tell Time

Earth’s surface is constantly changing, and its rocks are evidence of past geologic events. The age of rocks can be determined in various ways. By using relative-dating principles and noting the position of layers within a rock, it is also possible to reconstruct the sequence(顺序)of geologic events that have occurred at a site.

One way scientists do this is by using the principle of uniformitarianism, which states that the processes affecting the earth today are the same ones that affected it in the past. For example, at an active volcano, today, lava can be observed to cool and form layers of basalt(玄武岩). Therefore, any time one sees layers of basalt, it can be assumed that they likely formed from lava cooling after a volcanic eruption.

Second, the principle of original horizontality states that most sedimentary(由沉淀物所生成的)rock is deposited in a horizontal position, which means they form layers. The principle of superposition can be used to interpret the relative ages of these layers: In a sequence of undisturbed sedimentary layers or lava flows, the oldest layers are at the bottom. These principles allow scientists to determine the relative age of a rock compared with another rock. They can also compare the ages of rock layers in different areas. This type of comparison has enabled them to create a list of earth’s rock layers from youngest to oldest, called a geologic column.

Another way to test a rock’s age is by using radioactivity. Radioactive parts of elements in rocks decay into other elements at a constant pace called a half-life. By comparing the amount of the originai element with the amount present today, scientists can come up with an absolute age for a rock. These ages are compiled into a history of earth. Long stretches of time on earth are called eras. Earth’s rock history includes the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.

The scientists who interpret the stories told by rocks are called structural geologists and stratigraphers(地层学家). Structural geologists c arefully observe and interpret layer of rock. They study the way in which the earth’s crust is deformed by mountain-building processes. They also study clues at the earth’s surface that reveal the underlying structure and geologic history of an area. Stratigaphers compare vertical sequences of rock layers form different areas to piece together the geologic history of a region.

2018届上海市各高中学校高三英语试题分类汇编--阅读理解B篇(带答案精确校对)

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. (B) With the coming of big data age, data science is supposed to be starved for, of which the adaption can point a profound change in corporate competitiveness. Companies, both born-in the digital era and traditional world are showing off their skills in data science. Therefore, it seems to have been creating a great demand for the experts of this type. Mr Carlos Guestrin, machine learning professor from University of Washington argues that all software applications will need inbuilt intelligence within five years, making data scientists—people trained to analyze large bodies of information — key workers in this emerging “cognitive” technology economy. There are already critical applicat ions that depend on machine learning, a subfield of data science, led by recommendation programs, fraud detection system, forecasting tools and applications for predicting customer behavior. Many companies that are born digital—particularly internet companies that have a great number of real-time customer interactions to handle—are all-in when it comes to data science. Pinterest, for instance, maintains more than 100 machine learning models that could be applied to different classes of problems, and it constantly fields request from managers eager to use this resource to deal with their business problem. The most important factor weighing on many traditional companies will be the high cost of launching a serious machine-learning operation. Netflix is estimated to spend ＄150m a year on a single application and the total bills is probably four times that once all its uses of the technology are taken into account. Another problem for many non-technology companies is talent.Of the computer science experts who use Kaggle, only about 1000 have deep learning skills, compared to 100,000 who can apply other machine learning techniques, says Mr Goldbloom. He adds that even some big companies of this type are often reluctant to expend their pay scales to hire the top talent in this field. A third barrier to adapting to the coming era of “smart” applications, however, is likely to be

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Challenging work that requires lots of analytical thinking, planning and other managerial skills might help your brain stay sharp (21) you age, a study published Wednesday in the journal Neurology suggests. Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1, 000 retired workers who were over age 75 and had the volunteers’ memory and thinking skills (22) (assess)through a battery of tests. Then, for eight years, the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months (23) (take) the same sorts of tests. Those who (24) (hold)mentally stimulating, demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests. And they tended to lose cognitive（认知）function (25) a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs. The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants’ overall health status. “This works just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, who led the study. “After a long run, you may feel like you’re in pain, you may feel tired. But it makes you fit. After a long day at work — sure, you will feel tired, (27) it can help your brain stay healthy. ” It’s not just corporate jobs, or even paid work (26) can help keep your brain fit, Then points out. A waiter’ s job, for example, (28) ( require) multitasking, teamwork and decision-making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work. And “running a family household requires high-level planning and coordinating（协调）,” she says. “You (29) _______ ________organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries.” Of course, our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons — including other environmental influences or genetic factors. Still, continuing to challenge (30) mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. 【答案】 21. as 22. assessed23. to take 24.had held25. at26. that 27. but28.requiring 29. have to30. yourself 【难度】中等

2020届上海市复兴中学高三下学期三月月考英语试题(解析版)

2020届上海市复兴中学高三下学期三月月考 英语试题 四、词汇（10%） It is getting hard to go anywhere without stepping on a piece of Lego-related hype (大肆宣传). “The Lego Movie” is number two at the American box office, after three weeks at number one. Model kits ___1___ to the film are piled high in the shops. They will add to the already gigantea of Lego bits: 86 for every person on the planet. The toymaker has enjoyed ten years of spectacular growth, almost quadrupling (四倍) its ___2___. This is remarkable for many reasons. Lego’s ho me town, Billund in rural Denmark, is so small that the company had to provide it with a hotel-an elegant one, unsurprisingly. The toy business is one of the world’s trickiest: perennially faddish (反复出现地一时流行的事物) (remember Beanie Babies?) and, at the moment, energized by technological innovation. Children are growing up ever faster, and abandoning the ___3___ world for the virtual. To cap it all, the company almost collapsed in 2003-04, having drifted for years, ___4___ into too many areas, producing too many products. Lego’s decade of success began when it appointed Jorgen Vig Knudstorp as chief executive. This was a risky move: Mr. Knudstorp was a mere 35 years old and had cut his teeth as a management consultant with McKinsey rather than running a business. But it proved to be inspired. Mr. Knudstorp decided that the company must go “back to the ___5___”: focusing on its core products, forgetting about brand-stretching, and even selling its theme parks. He also brought in stricter management controls, for example reducing the number of different pieces that the company produced from 12,900 to 7,000. Under Mr. Knudstorp Lego has struck a successful balance between ___6___ and tradition. The company has to ___7___ new ideas to keep its sales growing: customers need a reason to expand their stock of bricks, and to buy them from Lego rather than cheaper rivals. But at the same time, it must resist the sort of undisciplined innovation that almost ruined it. Lego produces a stream of kits with ___8___ designs, such as forts and spaceships, to provide children with templates (模板). But it also insists that the pieces can be added to the child’s collection of bricks, and reused to make all sorts of other things. Lego has got better at managing its relationships. “The Lego Movie” demonstrates how it can focus on the brick while ___9___ into the virtual world: Warner Bros. made the film while Lego provided the models. During its years
