(A)

It dawned on me recently that I am the only person in my family who doesn‘t benefit from having a mother in the house.

This was not only the case for me, but for a large number of fellow countrymen, including one friend who felt so bad one night that she got out of bed and cleaned her house in case the medical examiner had to come. (He didn‘t.)

―I want my mommy‖ indeed could be read throughout the cold, snowy descriptions of winter‘s Facebook, where many middle-aged women are known to go for comfort.

This translates as: ―I want a constant supply of homemade soup without asking for it.‖

Also: ―I want someone who can put her hand on my forehead and know within a degree what my temperature is.‖

More than anything, the desire for mommy translates into a longing for selfless constancy, for the all-knowing, all-knowing mother with a cold cloth in her hand, who never leaves the bedside except to go to the bathroom.

The image of the mother nurse at the sick bed-think Go ne With the Wind’s Melanie in the Civil War hospitals-is one of a perfect, warmhearted wisdom soldiers‘ holy person and medicine woman, a la Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa and Pocahontas rolled into one. She is a supernatural being who knows, without the help of Google, when her patient should go to the doctor and when she should stay in bed, which illness needs a warm bath and which needs a warm shower…

Now, to be fair: let me say that my good friend made soup for me-twice-while I was ill. My goddaughter, a nurse practitioner, texted every day, several times a day, from several states away. My husband often came home from work in the middle of the day to check on me. One night, which so happened to be an outdoor celebration , when I was at my most miserable and convinced it was time for the emergency room, my family gathered around me on the bed with red beans and rice．

There‘s nothing quite like a mother in situations like these. Literature knows it. History knows it. Even current studies show that mothers are still 10 times more likely than their husbands to leave work to tend to sick children and five times more likely to take the sick child to the doctor, like a kid than a mother these days, continuously circling my sick bed, meowing for food while I suffer in a pile of cough drop wrappers.

There is hope: I asked my primary care provider, who is a woman and a mother, at my office visit midway through my illness, if she would be my mommy.

She threw her head back and laughed.

From winning a complex war to developing a life-saving drug: there are so many things that can only be achieved if people work together in harmony. They can then achieve impressive performances that also benefit the individual. So, why do colleagues or others so often make things difficult for one another? Experimental research carried out by De Dreu has shown that greed and fear are the basic reasons determining problems with teamwork. ―People are afraid that their contribution will mainly benefit those people who themselves contribute nothing. That‘s why people hold back and invest in self-protection rather than cooperation.‖

De Dreu examined the strategies people use to maximize the benefits for themselves and to reduce the risk of being exploited. He conducts experiments where the participants can invest in self-protection or attacks on others, or they can choose to do nothing. When motivated by greed, people seem to invest mainly in self-protection and less in attacks on others. ―Fear is almost always present as a brake on cooperation, but it‘s more difficult to predic t when greed will crop up.‖ The puzzle is that fear among rival groups tends to result in people working better together. ―It seems to happen almost automatically, often without it even being discussed.‖As Professor of Employment and Organisation Psychology at the University of Amsterdam, De Dreu has conducted a lot of research on cooperation within organizations. In Leiden he intends to approach the subject at a higher level of abstraction. ―We know a lot about what makes the best kind of leaders. Now I want to examine what our brain looks like when we are working together. I‘m interested in that because cooperating with one another relies on very basic systems that we also use for other tasks, such as child-rearing.‖

He intends to use brain scans to look at which neurohormones (神经激素) play a role in cooperation, such as the ―hug hormone (荷尔蒙)‖ oxytocin（催生素）. Is more oxytocin produced when people are working together successfully? And can you influence cooperation by administering an amount of this hormone? ―This neurobiological approach has only really been used by psychologists in the past five years, and there are a lot of important research questions that have to be answered.‖

De Dreu draws attention to his multidisciplinary approach. He is. also interested in the effect of such ―institutions‖ as religion and legislation because these have an obvious influence on our behavior. He will be working together with fellow scientists from other disciplines: sociologists, political scientists, legal specialists, religious experts and also biologists who will be examining the behavior of rats, for example.

De Dreu doesn‘t exclude the possibility that he will again be conducting some of his research in organizations. Until then he would welcome any managers would be willing to take part in his neurobiological research. ―I would love it if a lot of managers were willing to have scans while making decisions about their companies. But then they‘d have to come in their masses, and that‘s not to easy to achieve.‖

63. W hat does the phrase ―child-rearing‖ in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. One of the basic systems that we work with one another.

B. One of the tasks our human beings need to be finished.

C. One of the questions that people have to be answered.

D. One of the exa mples lies in people‘s self-protection

64. The experiments conducted by De Dreu imply the following statements Except________.

A. Teamwork happens automatically if panic exists among rival groups.

B. People will invest in self-protection when driven by greed.

C. Some basic systems in our brain help us work with one another.

D. More oxytocin is produced when people maximize the benefits for themselves.

65. It can be inferred from the passage that De Dreu uses a wide variety of methods to research ________.

A. what our brain looks like

B. why people don‘t often cooperate in teamwork

C. how religion and rules work well together

D. how managers react in the scanner

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

(A)

A woman standing over six feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds is bound to make an impression. But in Mary Fields‘ case, these features were outmatched by a heart of gold that made her legendary(传奇的).

Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1832 or 1833, Mary had nothing, not even a date of birth. However, in her early years, she found something of truly lasting value—a friend named Dolly. In addition to friendship, Dolly also may have taught Mary to read and write, an invaluable advantage for slaves. At the end of America‘s Civil War, Mary finally received her freedom and made her own way out into the world.

Mary was employed on a steamboat as a maid when she received word from Dolly, now a nun （修女）in Ohio called Mother Amadeus. Mary arrived in Ohio in 1878 and worked at Amadeus‘ girls‘ school, managing the kitchen and garden. She became known as a gun-carrying, cigar-smoking woman, but also as an example of kindness and reliability. After a few years, though, Amadeus was sent to another school out West in Montana, becoming the first black woman to settle in central Montana.

When Mary was in her 50s, a sick Mother Amadeus called her West. So Mary made her way to the small town of Cascade, Montana, to nurse Amadeus to health. She did this and more, running supplies and visitors to St. Peter‘s Mission where Amadeus lived. Once when her wagon(四轮马车) overturned, she guarded the delivery from wolves through the night.

But Mary's rough edges caused the local bishop (主教) to prohibit her from working at the mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first African-American female employee of the U.S. Postal Service. Though in her 60s, Mary was such a dependable mail carrier that she earned the name ―tagecoach‖ Mary. She became a beloved figure in Cascade. She was the only woman allowed in the saloon (酒馆), was the baseball team‘s biggest fan and wa s given free meals in the town hotel.

Nearly 70, Mary quit delivering the mail but remained in Cascade. The town‘s school closed to celebrate her unknown birthday twice a year. When she passed away in 1914, a simple cross was placed to mark her grave and her legend in the Wild West.

56. What about Mary Fields impressed people most?

A. Her tall and fat figure.

B. Her reputation as an educated slave.

C. Her friendliness and responsibility.

A.⑤①③②④B?⑤④②①③ C.②④⑤③① D.③⑤②④①

58. Mary became a mail carrier because . ,

A. people in Cascade loved her

B. she once worked at St. Peter‘s Mission

Two heads are better than one, according to the old saying. So why are groups with lots of ―heads‖ known for making bad decisions? Why does ―groupthink‖ immediately mean ineffectiveness and mistakes?

These questions are answered in a fascinating new book called Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter, written by Cass R. Sunstein, a former White House official, and Reid Hastie, an academic specialized in the psychology of decision making. Building on their combined experiences and research, Sunstein and Hastie analyze what goes wrong in group decision-making, and then offer clear-out solutions to overcome these problems.

Group decision-making involves discussions among members of a group, each with their own skills, experience, ideas and information. Unfortunately, as the authors explain, there are two types of influence on group members—informational signals and social pressures—which skew

(扭曲）the discussions. Informational signals cause people to keep information to themselves when

it disagrees with information from others, especially leaders. Social pressures cause people to keep information to themselves to avoid punishment from leaders who are denied.

These influences lead to four problems, the authors write: Instead of correcting the errors of their members, groups actually expand those errors; cascade effects (联级效应）take over when the group follows whomever spoke first or loudest; groups become more extreme in their ideas, as the internal discussions strengthen their predisposed（预先有倾向的）thoughts; and groups focus on shared information instead of unshared information.

Having laid out the core problems, the authors offer solutions. They begin with a list of methods aimed at handling the four core problems, such as:

Leaders have to keep quiet and convince group members that they sincerely want to hear all ideas.

Group success should be rewarded. Group members must understand that if the group is right, everyone benefits; this will encourage them to ensure that they find the right answer instead

of pushing their own ideas.

Group members should be assigned specific roles, thus ensuring that everyone contributes. Either individuals or assigned teams should be tasked with acting as devil’s advocates(唱反调

的人).

Groups also fail, the author writes, because they don‘t distinguish between the early rounds

of discussions, in which all ideas must be allowed on the table, and the final rounds of discussions,

in which groups must be tight and analytical as they seek the accurate solution. Successful groups will deliberately separate the two processes.

In another approach, the authors demonstrate that the wisdom of crowds will often lead to the right answer if a majority of crowd members know their material. Decision-makers often prefer to rely on one single expert, but ―chasing the expert‖ significantly reduces the probability

of getting the decision right.

Wiser is a quick, engaging and thoughtful read that convincingly argues that, with a few simple steps and open-minded leadership, group discussions can, indeed, lead to wiser decisions.

63. The passage is mainly written to _____ .

A.make an advertisement for a new book

B. introduce the main points of a new book

C. prove that two heads are better than one

D. show how to make groupthink more effective

64. According to the passage, groups sometimes make bad decisions because some members _____ .

A. are critical of others

B. are punished by the leader

C. disagree with the leader

D. do not share different ideas

65. Which of the following can help improve the effectiveness of groupthink?

A. An expert helps to make the final decision.

B. Team success is advocated with positive measures.

C. No one is allowed to put forward their disagreement.

D. Leaders don‘t express their own opinions in the process.

66. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Wiser may be welcomed by decision-makers.

B. Wiser can change decision-makers‘ attitude towards work.

C. The more people in the group, the better decision will be made.

D. The final rounds of discussions are the most important in decision-making.

They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and Pm not even a cat. My father died when T was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.

This was when I began to enjoy my first life. T was very happy, in excellent health. I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted（使苦恼）with a slowly progressive disease of the motor

nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus began my second life....

In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keep my health and optimism, to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy? Not at all. Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---1 could then admit defeat and lie down and die.

Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. Suddenly the steering wheel jerked（猝然一动） . In the same instant I heard the

bang of a blowout. It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!

I started the engine and thumped slowly along until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and blared the horn.

The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm.

About an hour later, the man's voice was heard, ―This is a bad night for car trouble, but you're all set now. ‖ ―Thanks，‖ I said. ―How much do I owe you?‖ He shook his head, ―Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple. Glad to be of help. 1 know you'd do the same for me. There‘s no charge, friend.‖ I held out a five-dollar b川，―No! I like to pay my way.‖ He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, ―Grandpa can‘t see it. ‖

Here amid the steel and concrete canyons, green grass grows. A hawthorn tree(山楂树)stands in new soil, and freshly dug plants bend in the wind.

But Chicago City Hall here seems an unlikely spot for a garden of any variety—especially 20,000 square feet of gardens—on its roof.

As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is part of a $1.5 million demonstration projected by the city to reduce its ―urban heat islands‖, said William Abolt, the commissioner of the Department of Environment.

Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops---soak up heat. The retention(滞留）can bake a building, making it hard to cool down.

The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street in the heart of downtown, has been known to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.

The garden will provide greenery and shade. "And that,,, t4said the city officials, will save the city dollars on those hot summer days.55 The project savings from cooling is about $4,000 a year on a new roof whose life span is about 50 percent longer than that of a traditional roof.

The stretching open-air rooftop garden is being carefully built on amulti-tiered(多展的）bed of special soil, polystyrene（聚苯乙烯）,egg-carton-shaped cones and ―waterproof membrane(薄膜)‘‘ mall to keep the roof from leaking, or caving under the normal combined weight of soil, min and plant life.

The design calls for soil depths of 4 inches to 18 inches. When the last plants and seedlings are buried and the last bit of soil is laid, the garden will have circular brick stepping-stones winding up to hills.

―The primary focus of what we want.to do is to establish this laboratory on the top of City Hall to get people involved and understanding their impact on the environment ;and how the little things can make an impact on the quality of life,,9 Mr. Abolt said, adding that the plants also help to clear the air.

Rooftop gardens, in places where concrete jungles have erased plants and trees, are not new, not even in Chicago. Arms of greenery hanging over terraces or growing from rooftops, common in Europe, are becoming more so in the United States as people become increasingly conscious about the environment.

Richard M. Daley, who urged the environmental department to look into the project after noticing rooftop gardens in Hamburg, Germany a few years ago, has praised the garden as the first of its kind on a public building in the country.

It will hold thousands of plants in more than 150 species-wild onion and butterfly weed, sky-blue aster and buffalo grass----to provide data on what( species adapt best. Small plants requiring shallow soil depths were chiefly selected.

63.The rooftop garden project___________

A.is common and popular in the country

B.is a demonstration project and costs the city government 1.5 million dollars

C.will make the ordinary cooling down of the city in summer unnecessary

aims at getting people involved and understanding their impact on the environment

64.What can we learn about the City Hall?

It was built ninety years ago and is the most outstanding feature in the center of the city.

A.It is originally proper to build a garden on the top of the City Hall.

B.The temperature on its top is a little bit lower than that on the street below.

C.It is the first building in America to have a garden on it.

65.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Every year, Chicago spends about $ 4,000 on cooling the city.

B.The design of the garden on the C'ily Hall specially takes into consideration the

weight the roof can stand.

C.The Mayor urged the environmental department to look into rooftop gardens in Hamburg

and build similar ones in America.

D.Heat islands mainly refer to those dark-colored rooftops which receive and retain heat

and will not easily release the heat.

66.The word ―substantially ‖（Line 2, Para. 5) most likely means _________ .

A. a little bit

B. in fact

C. materially

D. considerably

You are checking your emails when you start daydreaming about where to go on your summer holiday. This reminds you to compare the cost of local gyms. Then you suddenly decide to look up some place for your birthday party.

You may think you are browsing the Internet in a slightly absent-minded manner. You are, in fact, ―wilfing‖. According to a survey for a financial website, almost s even in ten Internet users admit to the newly named habit. The study of 2400 people carried out by YouGov found that more than a quarter of Internet users wilf ---- a rough acronym of What Was I Looking For? ---- for two days every month.

Pete Cohen, GMTV‘s resident life coach and motivator, said, ―Stopping yourself wilfing takes a mixture of planning and willpower. These days there are all manners of website attracting our attention. Internet users need to set themselves a specific surfing goal and a time limit to keep on track.‖

Shopping in the online activity is most likely to make users wilf. Men are more likely to admit to being wilfers than women. A third of the men questioned said the habit had damaged their relationship with a partner. The good news is that wilfing is a habit people tend to grow out

of. Internet users aged 55 or over were three times less likely to wilf than those aged under 25.

Jason LIoyed, from https://www.wendangku.net/doc/f517940741.html,,said, ―The Internet was designed to make it easier for people to access the information they need quickly and conveniently. Although people log on with a purpose, they are now being offered so much choice and online distractions that many forget what they are there for, and spend hours aimlessly wilfing instead. It‘s imp ortant that people do not allow unnecessary online distractions to get in the way when surfing in the Internet, as it can affect productivity in the workplace and relationship at home.‖

Are you a wilfer, lost in the Internet?

56. The underlined word ―acronym‖ in Para. 2 most probably means ______.

A. a phenomenon that makes people daydream

B. a summary of the book ―What Was I Looking For?‖

C. an expression meaning taking people‘s attention away

D. a word composed of the first letters of the words in a phrase

57. What is an efficient way to stop wilfing according to the passage?

A. Stopping taking a mixture of planning and willpower to keep on track.

B. Trying to focus on different subjects at the same time.

C. Trying to set a surfing goal and a time limit.

D. Logging on the Internet all the time.

58. It can be concluded from paragraph 4 that ______.

A. men are less likely to be wilfing than women

B. wilfing damages the relationship between partners

C. as you grow older, you‘ll become m ore and more wilfing

D. one third of Internet users will be wilfers lost on the Internet

59. What can be called ―wilfing‖ according to the passage?

A. You spend hours aimlessly surfing the Internet every day.

B. You suddenly decide to look up some information about clothes.

C. You are accessing the information you need quickly and conveniently.

D. You are browsing some of your emails which haven‘t been checked for months.

参考答案60-62: ACD

(C)

A group of college students is hoping to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit (轨道) around the moon.

The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge. It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar means ―between the earth and the moon.‖

The challenge is simple: to design, build and deliver ―flight-qualified, sm all satellites.‖ NASA officials say the satellites must be able to perform ―advanced operations near and beyond the moon.‖

Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But the CisLunar Explorer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.

The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell University. He once worked as NASA‘s chief technologist. He has always wanted to use something other than rockets to push spacecraft beyond earth. ―A lot of the mass we send into orbit these days is in the form of rockets -- the only way we get anything into space,‖ he said, in a Cornell press release. ―But what if we could use what‘s already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft w hile they‘re already in space...‖

The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark (火花), an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.

The CisLunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to copy how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satellite is equipped with cameras. The cameras will take pictures of the sun, the earth and the moon and compare their positions and their sizes. Based on where the sun, moon and earth are at any given time, the CisLunar Explorers will do the mathematics to find their position.

The competition is being held in four parts. The Cornell team has been among the top three competitors during parts one and two. The winners of the third stage will be announced in about a month. The final three winners will be announced in early 2017. They will get to ride on NASA‘s space launch system in early 2018.

63. The essential part of the competition ―the Cube Quest Challenge‖ is ______.

A. to launch a satellite to take a watery flight to the moon

B. to design, build and deliver a small and flight-qualified satellite

C. to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit around the moon

D. to make the satellite perform advanced operations near and beyond the moon

64. What does Mason Peck want to do at Cornell University according to the passage?

A. To stop using rockets for the sake of safety.

B. To use something already in space as power.

C. To try using water in space to push spacecraft.

D. To design a water-powered vehicle to push spacecraft.

65. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. there is a lot of rubbish of rockets and satellites in the orbit these days

B. a water-powered satellite will soon be sent into the orbit around the moon

C. the explosion of the combination of hydrogen and oxygen provides power

D. the team members of the CisLunar Explorers are the students of Mason Peck

66. What would be the best title of the passage?

A. A Spacecraft Powered by Water

B. A Water-Powered Flight to the Moon

C. A Competition for Water-Powered Satellite

D. A Design of Water-Powered Space Journey

2017年黄浦区高考一模汇总

(A)

①Did English football finally find a new star? At the age of 19, Theo Walcott came onto the scene by scoring a hat-trick for England in a 4-1 victory over Croatia in 2010 World Cup.

②Walcott‘s lightning speed and accura te shooting turned the teenager into an overnight star. Many thought he was a new dawn for the England team. He was building his fame for his fast pace, with former Barcelona manager Pep declaring that ―you would need a gun to stop him.‖ FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi once also described Walcott as ―one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.‖ In addition to his speed, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement and technique.

③It was symbolic that Walcott‘s goals came from the right-wing. The position had been played by ―golden boy‖ David Beckham for more than 10 years. No longer were the cheers for Beckham. The fans‘ hopes now rested on the shoulders of Walcott.

④Walcott was born in London to a black British Jamaican father and a white English mother. He grew up as a Liverpool fan due to his father‘s support of Liverpool. When Chelsea asked him to be a ball boy, he used the opportunity to meet his Liverpool idols.

⑤The teenage r‘s rise to fame was not completely out of blue. He was part of England‘s World Cup team in 2006, but he did not get to play a match. He also spent over two years at Arsenal, where he was fast becoming a key player.

⑥But that year, few were expecting the wonderful performance between England and Croatia. The teenager was the first England player to score three goals in a game since Michael Owen did so seven years before.

⑦Although England was full of superstars, they had a poor record in major tournaments. But things were beginning to change. The win against Croatia was sweet revenge. Croatia was the team which knocked England out of Euro 2008.

⑧Walcott‘s wonderful performance lighted England fans‘ hope for World Cup victory in South Africa in 2010, since England had not lifted the cup since 1966.

⑨But before England fans got too carried away, our reflection on the past history told us that placing a country‘s hopes on one teenager was dangerous.

56. Which of the following CANNOT account for Walcott‘s increas ing fame?

A. Fast speed.

B. Masterly skills.

C. Positional sense.

D. Unusual family.

57. Why did the author mention David Beckham in the 3rd paragraph?

A. To show that England football once had a glorious history.

B. To illustrate that Walcott could be e ntitled ―golden boy‖.

C. To indicate that England fans were difficult to please.

D. To imply that people had high expectation on Walcott.

58. In the 5th paragraph, the underlined phrase ―out of blue‖ most probably means ―________‖.

A. impolite

B. unexpected

C. impossible

D. unintentional

59. What is the author most likely to agree with?

A. Walcott might not live up to fans‘ expectation.

B. Walcott might transfer from Arsenal to Liverpool.

C. Croatia might change the history of the World Cup.

D. England might be defeated by the opponent in the next round.

①What does it say about the future of meat when the country‘s largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake(股份) in a start-up that aims to ―perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein‖?

②Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.

③To be sure, Beyond Meat‘s meatless creations have yet to take the country by storm. Although the 100 percent plant-based burgers have achieved plenty of positive press since they appeared for the first time in May, so far they‘re only available at Whole Foods stores in seven states. Even though the company‘s ―chicken‖ strips, ―beef‖ pies, and meatless frozen dinners are available nationwide, Beyond Meat is hardly a household name.

④That may be what makes the news of Tyson‘s investment all the more noteworthy. While the two companies declined to give details about the deal, it‘s doubtful that Tyson‘s 5 percent stake made much of dent(凹陷) in the meat giant‘s coffers(金库). The company posted $41.4 billion in sales last year; prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding—about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.

⑤Tyson is doing pretty great. The company reported record third-quarter earnings per share in August and says that it expects overall meat production to increase 2 to 3 percent during the next financial year. But like a big oil company shelling out cash to invest in wind power, Tyson‘s toe-in-the-water move to team up with a start-up devoted to bringing more plant-based protein to American dinner tables seems to suggest the meat industry is starting to see which way the winds are blowing.

⑥Sales of plant-based protein, which totaled an estimated $5 billion last year, continue to pale compared with the market for meat in America—but vegetarian alternatives to meat are booming, with sales growing at more than double the rate for food products overall. The steady drumbeat of news about the negative health impacts, environmental problems, and animal welfare concerns associated with meat consumption appears to be sinking in. According to a survey released in April, more than half of Americans surveyed said they plan to eat more plant-based foods in the coming year.

63. Beyond Meat‘s veggie burger made headlines probably because __________.

A. it makes perfect use of animal protein

B. it uses high tech in the making process

C. it tastes as good as a genuine beef burger

D. it represents the diet trend in South California

64. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the state of Beyond Meat?

A. It is the creator of the country‘s first 100 percent plant-based burgers.

B. It has been well received as its products are available nationwide.

C. It is far from being a match to real food processing giants like Tyson.

D. It provides high-quality dining experience in selected Whole Foods stores.

65. What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A. The purchase of the stake barely costs a thing for Tyson.

B. The 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat means a lot to Tyson.

C. Tyson‘s investment hasn‘t caught the attention of the media as expected.

D. Tyson is relying on this investment to raise more project capital funding.

66. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Meat will still take over the market in spite of other alternatives.

B. A major American meat company is betting on plant-based protein.

C. Tyson and Beyond Meat work together to build a global meat giant.

D. Plants have been found to contain protein that does more good to human beings.

Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favour of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following:homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom;students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.

There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework os not done at home at all, but a t a friend‘s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What‘s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child‘s education, but they cann‘t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor‘s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter‘s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.

Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work.

Again, this will depend enormously on the context but , very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even When work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.

The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.

62. Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?

A. Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.

B. Developing the ability of the independent learning.

C. Building a closer teacher-student relationship.

D. Meeting the requirements of students and parents.

63. Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children‘s success in class, som e are just inferior to others because_______.

高考英语阅读理解三篇

(A ) A coal-fire stove(炉灶)provided heating for Zhao Yaoqin's courtyard bungalow in a Beijing hutong all her life. This winter, however, the stove has disappeared from the 66-year-old's life, and an electric radiator takes its place beside her bed, a product of a government to use clean energy in the national capital. With the Olympics to be staged in Beijing next August, the city is determined to eliminate the use of coal within the Third Ring Road that circles the city before the Games. The project to replace the stoves with electric radiators has been part of the effort. When the city's four-month long heating season started on Thursday, coal-fired stoves, known as a big source of pollution in the big city, have disappeared from some 20,000 local households like Zhao's bungalow in the inner city "hutong" -- traditional alleyways(小巷) that date back centuries. "We used to boil water or bake bread on the stove," said Zhao, sounding sentimental(伤感) to the disappearance of the coal furnace from her life. Late in the 1990s, Beijing's air quality monitoring office found that the emissions(排放) of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the hutong areas have been higher than the city's average in winter, mainly because of the coal stoves. With the project to switch to clean energy for heating launched in 1999, the emission level of the two poisonous substances decreased by 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively, this year from 2001 levels. Zhao said the fee for electrical heat for the entire winter was usually around 2,400 yuan (US$323) per household. With the government's subsidy（补贴）, however, she only needed to pay about 500 yuan, nearly the same price as that for coal. 1．Zhao Yaoqin’ example in the passage is to tell us that_______. A.people in Beijing using electric radiators to welcome the Olympics. B.people in Beijing are doing something to protect the environment. C.hutongs in Beijing have a long history. D.People pay more money to use electric radiators than before. 2. The underlined word eliminate probably means________ A. cut down. B. increase. C. get rid of. D. replace 3. We can infer from the passage that ______ A. Zhao Yaoqin has a strong and deep emotion with the use of coal-fire stove. B. The government will pay most of the fee. C. The air of Beijing has been badly polluted since 1990s. D. The people do not use coal eight months in one year. 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The clean air is important when the Olympics Games is held in Beijing. B. The success of the Olympics Games depends on the clean air. C. The government spare no effort to make the environment better. D. The emission level of poisonous substances will be low in 2008.

【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.

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it.
