III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

High school students who take music courses score significantly better on math, science and English exams than their non-musical peers, according to a new study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology.

School administrators needing to cut budgets often look first to music courses, because the general belief is that students who devote time to music rather than math, science and English, will

__41__ in those disciplines.

“Our research proved this belief __42__ and found the more the students engage with music, the better they do in those subjects,” said UBC (University of British Columbia) education professor and the study’s principal investigator, Peter Gouzouasis. “The students who learned to play a musical instrument in elementary and __43__ playing in high school not only score significantly higher, but were about one academic year ahead of their non-music peers with regard to their English, mathematics and science skills, as measured by their exam grades,

__44__ their socioeconomic background, race, previous learning in mathematics and English, and gender.”

Gouzouasis and his team __45__ data from all students in public schools in British Columbia who finished Grade 12 between 2012 and 2015. The data __46__, made up of more than 112,000 students, included those who completed at least one standardized exam for math, science and English. Students who studied at least one instrumental music course in the regular curriculum counted as students __47__ music.

The researchers found the __48__ relationships between music education and academic achievement were more pronounced for those who took instrumental music rather than vocal (发声的) music. The findings suggest skills learned in instrumental music __49__ very broadly to the students’ learning in school.

“Learning to play a musical instrument and playing in a band is very __50__ ,” said the study’s co-investigator Mart in Guhn, an assistant professor in UBC’s school of population and public health.

“A student has to learn to read musical notes, develop eye-hand-mind coordination (协调), develop keen listening skills, develop __51__ skills for playing in a band and develop discipline to practice. All those learning experiences, and more, play a role in __52__ the learner’s cognitive capacities (认知能力), executive functions, and motivation to learn in school.”

The researchers hope that their findings will be brought to the __53__ of students, parents, teachers and administrative decision-makers in education, as many school districts over the years have emphasized mathematics and literacy __54__ other areas of learning, particularly

music. “However, the amusing aspect is that __55__ education can be the very thing that improves all-around academic achievement,” said Gouzouasis.

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 r ead.

(A)

A growing number of American states are requiring schools to teach students “media literacy” skills. California is the latest state to pass such a requirement. Media literacy, also known as news literacy, is the ability to use critical thinking sk ills to recognize differences between real and “fake” news.

The new law requires California’s Department of Education to provide materials related to media literacy on its website. Its goal is to give students a set of effective tools to “enable them to make informed decisions”.

The media literacy efforts were based on a Stanford University study from 2016. It found that 80 percent of U.S. middle school students failed to recognize an advertisement that looked like a real news story. The researchers also found that high school students had trouble telling the difference between a real and a fake news website.

The study called for more efforts to help students recognize false information on the internet. It said that young people also need the skills to find out where news stories come from, and to be able to judge the trustworthiness of sources and writers.

Carolyn Edy is a professor of communication at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. She said she has seen a clear change in her students’ abi lities to judge news sources. Edy said that when students used to read printed newspapers, it was easier for them to recognize fact from opinion. Now, it’s necessary to teach students how to fully examine websites.

One of Edy’s goals is to teach students h ow to research the news organizations responsible for the stories they are reading. One way to do this is for students to ask a series of questions. One example is, “What is the overall mission of the organization?”

Edy said young people also need to judge whether news organizations identify any possible conflicts of interest. Another question to ask is, “What do they do when they get a story wrong?” Responsible and trustworthy news organizations issue corrections if something is falsely reported, she said.

Edy added that one good thing to come out of the rise of misinformation and fake news is that it has made many people seek out good reporting.

56.The new law passed in California mainly aims at __________.

A. helping students identify fake news

B. improvi ng students’ critical thinking skills

C. offering students real information

D. enabling students to make quick decisions

57.Why does the author mention the Stanford University study?

A. To present the details of the law.

B. To provide a set of tools for the law.

C. To show the reason behind the law.

D. To indicate the efforts based on the law.

58.Which is a way suggested by Carolyn Edy for students to judge the trustworthiness of a news organization?

A. Identifying the conflicts of interest in it.

B. Correcting its falsely reported news stories.

C. Learning about its background information.

D. Asking a series of questions about its news.

59.The passage mainly tells us that media literacy ____________.

A. can contribute to the rise of good news reporting

B.is becoming much more important with the law passed

C. can improve American students’ understanding of news

D.is increasingly recognized as essential for students in the US

(B)

(C)

Today’s artificial intelligence may not be that clever, but it just got much quicker in understanding. A learning program designed by three researchers can now recognize and draw handwritten characters after seeing them only a few times, just as a human can. And the program can do it so well that people can’t tell the difference.

The findings, published in the journal Science, represent a major step forwa rd in developing more powerful computer programs that learn in the ways that humans do.

Although computers are excellent at storing and processing data, they’re less-than-

stellar students. Your average 3-year-olds could pick up basic concepts faster than the most advanced program.

In short, “You can generalize,” said coauthor Joshua Tenenbaum. But there’s something else humans can do with just a little exposure—they can break an object down into its key parts and dream up something new. “To scientists like m e who study the mind, the gap between machine-learning and human-learning capacities remains vast,” Tenenbaum said. “We want to close that gap, and that’s our long-term goal.”

Now, Tenenbaum and his colleagues have managed to build a different kind of machine learning algorithm (算法)—one that, like humans, can learn a simple concept from very few examples and can even apply it in new ways. The researchers tested the model on human handwriting, which can vary sharply from person to person, even when each produces the exact same character.

The scientists built an algorithm with an approach called Bayesian program learning, or BPL, a probability-based program. This algorithm is actually able to build concepts as it goes.

In a set of experiments, the scientists tested the program using many examples of 1,623 handwritten characters from 50 different writing systems from around the world. In a one-shot classification challenge, people were quite good at it, with an average error rate of 4.5 percent. But BPL, slightly edged them out, with a comparable error rate of 3.3 percent. The scientists also challenged the program and some human participants to draw new versions of various characters they

presented. They then had human judges determine which ones were made by man and which were made by machine. As it turned out, the humans were barely as good as chance at figuring out which set of characters was machine-produced and which was created by humans.

The findings could be used to improve a variety of technologies in the near term, including for other symbol-based systems such as gestures, dance moves and spoken and signed language. But the research could also shed fresh light on how learning happens in young humans, the scientists pointed out.

63.What is the passage mainly about?

A. An advance in artificial intelligence.

B. A special learning program for students.

C. The application of artificial intelligence.

D. A new approach of developing programs.

64.By “less-than-stellar students” in Paragraph 3, the author mea ns ________.

A. students are better at processing data

B. computers are incomparable to students

C. students are less smart than computers

D. computers are less clever in some aspects

65.In the experiments testing BPL, what did the scientists find out?

A. Humans were slow at recognizing characters.

B.BPL wrote characters in a quite different manner.

C.BPL could identify and write characters as humans.

D. Humans could create more characters than computers.

66.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Computers learn in the same way as humans.

B. The findings may help improve human-learning.

C. Machine-learning is superior to human-learning.

D. Young humans can understand algorithms quickly.

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Warm Waters Caused Many Sea Creatures to Move Far North

A study has found that warmer waters off North America’s W est Coast caused many kinds of sea life to move farther north than ever before. The study was a project of scientists from the University of California, Davis.

______ 67______ They identified a total of 67 species between 2014 and 2016, during what was

des cribed as a “marine heatwave”. The researchers reported that 37 of the 67 species they studied had never before been observed so far north as California. These creatures are native to an area hundreds of kilometers to the south.

Some species were discovered outside a marine laboratory belonging to the University of California, Davis. A few were even found north of California. ______ 68 _______ The scientists involved in the study believe the findings can provide valuable information for predicting future se a life reactions to warming oceans.

There is also evidence suggesting that warming waters in the Atlantic Ocean have caused some sea creatures to move northward. A 2017 report in Yale University’s online magazine Environment 360 explores this subject. The report notes that for many years, the ocean has served as our best defense against climate change. ______69________ This has led to warmer oceans, with experts predicting continuing rising temperatures.

Warmer waters along the U.S. East Coast have affected a black sea fish. Researchers from Rutgers University reported the fish once was mainly found off the coast of North Carolina. But they discovered the species had traveled more than 700 kilometers northward, to waters off the coast of New Jersey.

________70________ Using climate models, researchers predicted that some species along the U.S. and Canadian Pacific coasts will move as far as 1,400 kilometers north from their current habitats. Such movement is expected to cause major difficulties for fisheries both in the U.S. and Canada, the study found.

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.

71.The Role of Humility at Work

There are many qualities that leaders must develop if they wish to have a meaningful impact in the workplace. But among these many important qualities, the value of humility seems to be frequently overlooked. Part of this is due to common misconceptions about what it means to be humble.

Humility tends to be overlooked in the workplace because it is frequently misinterpreted as a “weak” quality. We have been led to believe that people who are humble are easily bulldozed (欺负) by others and aren’t wi lling to stick up for themselves. Many define humility as having a low opinion of oneself. While this may be one widely accepted view of humility today, it is actually a far cry from the true meaning of the word—and the way it should be applied in leadersh ip. Humility isn’t about being passive and weak. It’s about showing respect to others and recognizing truth in all situations, including in the workplace.

A humble professional sounds like the type of person that most of us would prefer to interact with on a daily basis. It is the type of person that can become a truly effective leader. “Humble leaders must be willing to evaluate criticism to determine if it’s valid or not,” said Christopher Ferry, founder of Boca Recovery Center. “The best leaders are will ing to admit when they are wrong and view mistakes as learning opportunities so they can turn them into something transformative. In all

my work developing the leadership skills of managers, if I could give them any quality with a magic stick, it would be humility.”

Though humility is often underrated by world at large, it’s essential if you want to be successful as a leader, not just at work but in life. Reject your idea to boast or lift yourself above anyone and decide to be at the service of others.

I’m interested in driving and would love to attend driving classes with you. If you wonder why I choose driving classes instead of second foreign language, below are my reasons. To begin with, after three years’ hard study in academic subjects, it’s high time that we try something different. Language learning is nothing different, given that we have already learned English for years. Driving is not necessarily easier than our studying at school, but it’s a good way to relieve us from the intense atmosphere. Next, if we are talented enough and make as much effort as we do with our academic study, we will able to get the driving license within one month, or even sooner. Thus we shall have almost 2 months left in the summer vacation, for other plans like traveling, speaking of which, here come the last point. How nice would it be if we can arrange a self-driving tour one or two weeks before the university enrollment. It will be an exciting and unforgettable experience for us. Looking forward to your reply! Yours, Li Hua 2、2019普陀二模 Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 第五届高中生创业大赛（Entrepreneurship Competition）近期在深圳落下帷幕。本次活动目的是通过创意、组队、制作、路演等环节启动一个创业项目，为社会带来属于新生代的力量。 假设你是明启中学的高三学生李华。在下周的班会课上，你想就“高中生创业大赛”做一次演讲。内容必须包含： 1. 对本次大赛的看法； 2. 对大赛活动提出建议。 （注意：不得透露考生的真实信息） 范文一 Dear teachers and my fellow students, Good morning!

上海英语历年一二模考试作文赏析

上海英语历年一二模考试作文赏析 2013届上海英语一模徐汇区 试题： 假设你叫李华，你的同班同学小明觉得自己的手机太旧，想买个最新的iPhone 5，可是他 的父母不同意，为此他很苦恼。请你给他写封信，谈谈你的看法。 注意：短文中不得出现考生姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。 Composition A As for Xiao Ming’s behavior, I think it is really silly for him to ask for a mobile pho ne like iPhone 5. It is even sillier to be upset for his parents’ turning down. As far as I’m concerned, students’ top priority should always be studying. He/she should always focus the attention on the study rather than thinking about playing or following the trend. 5What’s more, it is mentioned that Xiao Ming wanted to change his mobile phone simply because he thinks that his mobile phone is out-of-date, which, in my humble opinion, thinks his behavior nothing but ridiculous. Even if we are rich now, never can we forget to be economical in reality. Since it’s not broken or out of order, there is no need to change. (128 words) Composition B Dear Xiao Ming, I’ve heard that you are suffering from your parents’ not allowing you to buy the iPhone 5. A s your classmate, I felt a pity that you’re struggling to get your dream realized. But, at the same time, I really don’t think buying iPhone 5 is such a good option, especially for you. 5 You know, youngsters of your age are all using iPhone 5 now. It has already become the mainstream. Do you think using iPhone 5 is really innovative? Definitely not! As the new generation, we need to develop our own ideas instead of following others’ steps. What’s more, since your parents disapprove of your buying iPhone 5, why not trying other brands? In my opinion, other brands are far better than simply iPhone 5. 10 If you have more questions about choosing mobile phone, feel free to contact me via email. I’ll be more than willing to pull you out of your misery. Yours sincerely, Zhang Lin-lin (160 words) Composition C Dear Xiao Ming, It is said that your parents don’t allow you to buy the iPhone 5 in place of your old cell phone. And you are upset simply because it. As for me, I think that is quite understandable. Young kids like us are always trend-followers. Thus, we should definitely feel free to buy
