University Shotokan Karate Club

Learn Karate—self-defense and fitness

The university karate club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to

advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women a nd several women have obtained their black belt.

TUESDAY AND THURSDAY

6.00—8.00 p.m.

WEAVER HOUSE GYM

FIRST LESSON FREE

Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend

ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will

show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.

Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We l earn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.

Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose

of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body.

Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances

do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental

calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.

10

Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training

requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few

of you will get your black belt.

56.The passage is mainly intended to_________.

A.tell readers the benefits of Karate

B. attract readers to join the club

C. encourage people to get their black belt

D.correct people’s misunder stand of Karate

57.What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club?

A. More men than women have been its members.

B. It tests members to see what level they are at.

C. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons.

D. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week.

58. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Karate is

true?

A. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others.

B. It involves people’s arm muscles more than body muscles

C. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally.

D. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.

B

Nothing draws attention to your new product like using it to send fast food

into space. In June, Arizona-based World View demonstrated the potential of its

pioneering stratollite--a sort of mini satellite that uses a balloon to take goods into the stratosphere (平流层)--by partnering with KFC to ferry a 5-ounce piece

of fried chicken 77,000 feet into the desert sky. “We took a chicken sandwich, launched it into space for 17 hours, and when it came back, it was perfect,”　says World View CEO Jane Poynter.

11

Poynter’s final goal is to send tourists to the edge of space, tied to the

company’s balloons, and to make the final frontier more accessible for research. Stratollites are inexpensive, compact, and easy to operate, ideal for monitoring weather patterns and providing military reconnaissance（侦察） or emergency communications during natural disasters. They can also do what traditional satellites can’t: spend months above a specif ic location without moving.

Though Poynter did not formally train as an engineer, she has spent her career in leading space research. The British native trained her skills as a technical

manager while part of Biosphere2, an Arizona research facility built to test a

self-enclosed, self-sufficient ecosystem. Its creators hoped it could one day be adapted for use in space. She spent two years in the early 1990s sealed inside

with seven others, experiencing everything from oxygen failures to colleagues’　emotional breakdowns.

Poynter met her future husband, Taber MacCallum, on the project, and afterward, the couple formed Paragon Space Development. They began devising biospheres that could support plant and animal life in orbit （太空轨道）.“We s howed it’s possible for animals to live in an environment they are not used to: microgravity,”　Poynter says.

In 2014, Poynter and Maccallum achieved another first. They led the engineering team that helped former Google exec Alan Eustace skydive from the edge of the stratosphere. That’s when it hit them: The balloon-parachute system they designed for Eustace could be modified for tourism and research. So they formed

World View, with MacCallum serving as chief technical officer.

The company has a contract with NASA t o determine if the system could someday be used to gather data on Mars. “Taking stratollites and flying them on other

planets,” Poynter says, “that’s definitely a part of the big dream.”

59. Stratollites are different from traditional satellites in that they can

_______.

A. stay motionless in space

B. move about in a bigger area

C. provide emergency communications

D. survive better in a situation without

gravity

12

60. What can be inferred from the passage about Biosphere 2?

A. It was adapted from a spaceship that used to work in space.

B. It was intended to become an ideal place for space research.

C. The participants all experienced some kind of emotional breakdown.

D. The participants were isolated from the outside world for some time.

61. What does the pron oun “it” (in paragraph 5) refer to?

A. Poynter and Maccallum have helped Alan Eustace to skydive.

B. Maccallum will serve as a chief technical officer in World View.

C. The system designed for Eustace can be used for more purposes.

D. Poynter and Maccallum hope to achieve more firsts in their career.

62. What is World View’s big dream?

A. Partnering with NASA to do research on other planets.

B. Using balloons to send tourists or researchers into space.

C. Giving people more opportunities to try extreme sports in space.

D. Working with food companies to send food to astronauts in space.

C

For something so essential, water management is all too often lacking in

advancement. It is about playing a waiting game—waiting for the rains to return in time and the reservoirs (水库） and groundwater reserves to refill.

Often the rains do come. But in long-term cases waiting is highly dangerous. Witness the Cape Town water crisis. When “day zero”　strikes—the day engineers turn off taps, in about 10 weeks----many will suffer, causing, potentially, social unrest and instability.

The reservoirs that supply water to the city of Cape Town are nearly empty

due in part to below-average rainfall for many years, but also, and maybe more

13

importantly, because of increased “abstraction”---the city has grown (by almost 80% since 1995) and needs more water. But this is hardly a unique situation, with climate change projected to result in more frequent extreme droughts and rises

in urban population putting ever more pressure on limited water resources. In short, the climate is changing and cities are growing.

Cape Town might just be the right moment to make a shift. Public awareness

is high, hence there is political willingness to come up with solutions. Often

these are of the engineering variety. In Cape Town desalination plants (脱盐工厂）are rapidly being built. But such a solution is expensive and often unsustainable. It has serious environmental impact and can increase water demand, leading to problems for future generations. The truth is that engineering options are seen as easier and less politically sensitive than actually managing water

demand.

More importantly, we have to change our ways. Look at Melbourne, for example. The city was severely hit by the millennium drought between 2001 and 2010, but

it managed to reduce per-person water consumption by nearly 50% over this period. Some of the temporary water use restrictions were made permanent, transforming

the city. The use of recycled water, reducing leaks, increasing efficiency and,

most importantly, long-term planning all played a part. Public awareness and

political will need to be in harmony. So, yes, householders should conserve water but policymakers can’t be afraid to take action，even when it includes (initially) unpopular measures.

There’s no need for fatalism—we can prevent future water crises, instead

of waiting for the rains to come or providing expensive, short-term engineering

solutions. Or, even worse, going back to business as usual when the drought is

over.

63.According to the author, what has caused the Cape Town water crisis?

A.Extreme droughts and demands for reservoirs.

B.Below-average rainfall and “day zero” strikes.

C. Climate change and urban development.

D. Social unrest and instability.

14

64. What does the author think of Cape Town’s building desalination plants?

A. It may not win political support.

B. It fails to be a permanent solution.

C. It requires more advanced technology.

D. It will not be understood

by the public.

65. What does “fatalism”（in the last paragraph) most probably mean?

A. A problem whether engineering solution are feasible.

B. A belief that something unexpected will happen.

C. A doubt whether the rains will come or not.

D. A feeling that we can’t take control.

66. Which of the following solutions to water crises is the author most likely

to agree to?

A. Finding more accurate ways to forecast when it rains.

B. Restricting the amount of the water that people use.

C. Looking for temporary water supplies.

D. Increasing groundwater pumping.

D

Scientists should be allowed to change a person’s DNA in ways that will be passed on to future generations, but only to prevent serious and strongly heritable (遗传) diseases, according to a new r eport from the National Academy o f Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine. However, making changes to these genes in

order to improve or change traits such as strength, intelligence or beauty should remain off-limits, the report authors concluded.

Changing the so-called germline (种系) is illegal in the United States. It

has largely been considered ethically off-limits here as well, at least

15

while bioethicists and scientists considered the unforeseen effects and unexamined moral dilemmas of using new gene-editing technologies.

However, scientists have moved forward aggressively to explore the possibility of changing disease genes in other adult human cells with a revolutionary technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. It is widely believed that gene editing of this sort could treat patients with metabolic (新陈代谢的) disorders, certain cancers, and a range of other diseases that arise from genetic mutations (突变) —without changing the germline.

Last year, Chinese scientists launched a trial that uses CRISPR-Cas9 in a

treatment for lung cancer. While the trial’s outcome is awaited with high anticipation, scientists outside China have expressed concern that ethical reservations in the United States and Europe will put them at a disadvantage.

CRISPR-Cas9 makes gene editing more straightforward, more precise and far

more widespread. As such, the National Academies’ report acknowledges that changing heritable DNA in eggs, sperm and early embryos is fast becoming “a realistic p ossibility that deserves serious consideration.”

The 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists who produced the report

completed a comprehensive review of the issues raised by that prospect.

Clinical trials involving germline editing should only be pursued to treat diseases that cannot be improved with “reasonable alternatives,”　the 22-member panel of scientists and bioethicists said. In addition, they added,scientists should convincingly demonstrate they are targeting a gene

that either causes or strongly makes a carrier likely to suffer from a serious

disease or condition, and that they have weighed the likely risks and benefits

of changing that gene.

Finally, scientists should conduct long-term follow-up studies to know how

gene editing affects the next generations.Public debate and discussion about

the technology should continue, the panel added.

16

67. In what circumstances can scientists change a person’s DNA?

A. Making a person look much younger.

B. Protecting future generations from some heritable diseases.

C. Using the most advanced gene-editing technologies.

D. Changing the germline for a better function.

68. What is the advantage of CRISPR-Cas9?

A. It can treat diseases more precisely without changing the germline.

B. It can successfully cure people of most deadly diseases.

C. It can change genes in adult human cells.

D. It can stop genetic mutations.

69. What possible conclusion can be drawn according to the passage?

A. Future generations will live longer and become more intelligent.

B. Chinese scientists created CRISPR-Cas9 and put it into use.

C. The gene editing is strictly forbidden for moral dilemmas.

D. The gene editing research is still at the primary stage.

70. What does this report mainly talk about?

A. A new gene-editing technology and concerns about it.

B. A germline-editing technology and approval for it.

C. Clinical trials of gene editing and social values of them.

D. Some germline clinical trials and scientific effects of them.

When it’s Not Quite a Wonderful Life

A 2011 study by researchers might make you think twice about holiday difficult emotions. They followed dozens of bus drivers for two weeks, looking to see when

they flashed fake versus sincere smiles at their passengers. The results showed

that on days when the drivers tried to put on an act and pretend to be in a good

mood, their actual moods g ot worse. This was especially true for women. And another research suggests that people who really want to be happy actually obtain less

happiness from positive experiences, apparently because their expectations are

too high. Again and again, trying to gain happiness despite no preference seems

to have the opposite result.

The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers Oliver

John and James Gross, who found that negative feelings like sadness or anger only intensify when we try to suppress (压制) them. That’s because we feel bad about ourselves when our outward appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside.

What’s more, when we suppress emotions like sadness, we deny them the important function they serve. I f we don’t recog nize sadness we might not take the neces-

sary steps to improve the situation. Expressing our sadness can also get comfort and compassion from those who care about us, strengthening our bonds.

Recently, scientists have also been paying special attention to the benefits of mindfulness. When you respond mindfully to an emotional trigger (诱因) , you pause rather than reacting, and then you can escape getting troubled by thoughtfulness. Rather than scold yourself, you simply notice what you’re feeling without judging that response as right or wrong. Studies suggest that a mindful

response to a negative event reduces the amount of sadness we experience, is

associated with less depression and anxiety, and may even carry physiological

18

benefits, such as lowering our heart rates.

Unavoidably, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the

best thing possible for your overall well-being.

That was the key insight from a study published in 2014 by a team of researchers from Yale University. Their survey of more than 37,000 people found that, after

experiencing a greater variety and abundance of emotions consistently linked to

lower depression, people took less medication, visited doctors less frequently,

spent fewer days in hospitals, practiced better dietary and exercise habits, and smoked less.

In other words, sadness, anger, and other similar emotions are like so many

other parts of the holidays, they’re nothing to fear. Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences.

2017年高考全国新课标卷英语考试说明和考试大纲

2017年高考全国新课标卷英语考试说明和考试大纲

2017年高考全国新课标卷英语考试说明和考试大纲 考核目标与要求 一、语言知识 要求考生掌握并能运用英语语音、词汇、语法基础知识以及所学功能意念和话题(见附录1至附录5)，要求词汇量为3500左右。 二、语言运用 1.听力要求考生能听懂所熟悉话题的简短独白

I.关于考试要求的说明 一、语言知识 要求考生了解和掌握《普通高中英语课程标准（实验〉》附录中所列出的各项内容，包括语音项目、语法项目、功能意念项目、话题项目和词汇。 二、语言运用 1.听力 听力是与外国人直接交往中必不可少的一种语言能力。该部分要求考生听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉话题的简短对话和独白。考生应能：（1）理解主旨和要义

任何一段对话或独白总会围绕一个主旨或者一个中心思想展开。有时，主旨要义会比较明确；有时则会贯穿整个对话或独白，考生需自己去归纳、概括。 （2）获取事实性的具体信息 为了说明和支持主旨，对话或独白中总会出现一些具体信息，如时间、地点、人物等。这些信息是理解和把握对话或独白主旨必不可少的内容，也常常是听力部分的重点考查项目。 （3）对所听内容作出简单推断 话语发生的场合、说话者之间的关系等对话语含义的理解起着举足轻重的作用，对这些背景知识的推断能力在一定程度上可以体现一个人对口

语的理解能力，因而也是听力测试所要考查的重点项目之一。 （4）理解说话者的意图、观点和态度 一般来讲，说话者总会有说话的意图，或是提出或回答问题，阐述自己的想法，或是表明自己的态度或意见，对此的理解或推断在一般交往中非常重要。有时，说话者的意图或观点是明说出来的，有时则隐含在对话的字里行间，需要听者自己去揣摩、推断。 2.阅读理解 阅读文章是我国考生接触外语的最主要途径，因此，阅读理解在试卷中占权重较大。该部分要求考生读懂熟悉的有关日常生活话题的简短文字

2019届上海市各高中名校高三英语题型分类专题汇编--阅读理解B篇--老师版(带答案已校对珍藏版)

III. Reading Comprehension 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 Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
