Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

TIME Magazine gave a number of reasons why it chose Merkel, from how she’s handled Europe's economic crisis, to how she’s responded to terrorist attacks in the region, to how she’s __44__ the continent's ongoing refugee crisis. Her high __45__ rating in Germany has slipped re cently because many Germans don’t agree with her __46__ to that crisis. So, the reaction in her home country was __47__.

Nancy Gibbs, the editor of TIME wrote that the Chancellor was awarded the title fo r “asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny.”

She also praised Merkel, the first woman to be named the title for 29 years, for her leadership during the refugee crisis. “At a moment when much of the wo rld is once more __48__ in a debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. She views refugees as victims to be __49__ rather than __50__ to be repelled...”

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.

A child’s place in the family birth order may play a role in the type of occupations that will interest him or her as an adult, new research suggests. In two related studies, researchers found that only children were more interested in intellectual, cognitive careers than later-born children. __51__, later-born children were more interested in both artistic and outdoor-related careers.

“For example, parents may be extremely __52__ of only children and worry about their physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic __53__ rather than physical or outdoor activities. An only child will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with siblings （兄弟姐妹）. This will often make them feel special but the downside is that they may suffer from __54__ and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life.”

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along – __55__ them from being the centre of attention, to then sharing the care of parents. Parents will also expect them to be responsible and “set an example”. The change from being the focus of a family may be quite a __56__ and so shape the first-born’s outlook on life. Therefore, first-borns may try to get back their parents’attention and approval by achieving success in their career. It is true that first-borns are __57__ more often found as political leaders than any other birth-order position.

Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be a(n) __58__ experience, especially if the child wants to be taken seriously. The last-born is more likely than the other birth-order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a __59__ of the last-born’s rebellious characteristic –a result of being __60__ up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family.

Middle children, __61__, have different issues. “Middle –child syndrome”can mean feeling __62__ between two other “more important” people – an older sibling who gets all the rights and is treated like an adult and a younger sibling who gets all the __63__ and is treated like a spoilt child. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children, and this may __64__ them becoming good negotiators –of all the birth-order positions they are most skillful at dealing with both authority figures and those holding __65__ positions.

(A)

Hell for most of us, yes, but all in a day’s work for Charlotte Uhlenbroek. She moves as elegantly through the hall of London’s Savoy as she does through the Amazon jungle. But while she loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.

Sh e’s just finished filming a TV series called jungle – a demanding 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most challenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-meter-high tree in Borneo, when I’m scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, “Down! Down!” I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me plummeting down below.”

And “down below” was where the bugs were. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest（最痒的）bites I’ve ever had. At one stage, I

counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most horrible thing, though, was trying to pull the slimy leeches（水蛭）off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, “Get them off!” and the film crew kept saying, “Just a minute …this makes a really good shot!”

Charlotte’s journey into the heart of the world’s most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience. “The rainforest really is like a city. Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents. If you knock it down, you cause just as much disturbance and damage as if those residents were human. The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6 percent of the world, it contains over 50 percent of all known animal and plant species, plus lots more that are unknown, too.”

Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “I’ve been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when I’ve been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favorite meal.”

66. The underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. frightening

B. exciting

C. encouraging

D. satisfying

67. When bitten by ______, a person will feel unbearably itchy.

A. usual mosquitoes

B. sand flies

C. sweat bees

A. many people come to explore the jungle

B. the trees are 80 metres high on average

C. many trees have been knocked down

D. there are so many living things in it

A. The film crew gave Charlotte a shot to prevent infection.

B. Charlotte looks and feels “out of place” in the Savoy Hotel.

C. Water supply was always a big concern for Charlotte in the jungle.

(C)

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning equation for children's math achievement, according to a new research from the University of Chicago. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.

Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The app's effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.

Previous research from this group has demonst rated the importance of adults’attitudes about math for children's math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement.

The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children's low math achievement.

“Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,”said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”

Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children's math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.

The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year's end.

74. Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.

A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions

B. assesses children’s math achievement and paren ts’ nervousness with math

C. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems

D. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems

75. The previous study found that _____.

A. help from math-anxious parents improves children’s math achievement

B. children’ math achievement is related to parents’ attitude about math

C. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship

D. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math

76. We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. children using app for three months can see gains in math achievement

B. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students

C. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference

D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children’s achievement

77. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. High-quality math interactions improve performance.

B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability.

C. Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship.

D. High-anxiety parents influence children’s attitude about math.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need. And they hope that if they join demonstrations or hand out leaflets, they’ll make others aware of the terrible conditions some people face. But 47-year-old British comedian, Eddie Izzard, did something completely different. He decided to raise money by running 1,100 miles through England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. And he managed to raise more than ￡200,000!

How long did it take him to run 1,100 miles? Believe it or not, it took him just 51 days. For six days out of every seven he ran at least 26 miles . In other words, he ran 43 marathons in less than two months, before he finished in great style and pouring rain in London’s Trafalgar Square!

When asked how he felt, he told the BBC that he was planning to “sleep for a week”. He thanked the people who had waited for him in Trafalgar Square despite the rain. They had all come to support him and to applaud his incredible achievement.

And the comedian admitted that his journey was pretty painful. He had to have his feet bandaged every day but still lost several of his toenails, and he had blisters （水泡）all over his feet. He wouldn’t have been able to do what he did if he hadn’t taken ice baths for his legs at the end of each day. These baths helped to “stop your legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant”, as Eddie commented.

People who have no idea about running and experts alike are impressed with what he has achieved. Andy Dixon, editor of Runner’s World, a magazine for long-distance runners, says, “Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs, it’s demanding. A five-hour marathon is fairly decent pace. It’s a massive achievement.

So, how did he do it? Well, when he decided to run, he wasn’t even particularly

fit. He ran his marathons slowly at first. Ten hours a day to begin with and, as he got fitter, he got faster. In the end he was finishing in just over five hours. But fitness alone was not enough. What was more important was the fact that he wanted to make a difference to other people’s lives.

What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film: Believe! “You’ve got to believe you can be something else,” Eddie says in the film. “I’ve done that a few times. That’s why I keep going.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)

78. How do most people help those in need?

_________________________________________________________________ 79. What did people do to support Eddie?

_________________________________________________________________ 80. What measures did Eddie take to ensure his marathons every day?

_________________________________________________________________ 81. Apart from getting fitter and raising money, Eddie’s run was intended

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Have you ever driven faster than the speed limit, parked in the wrong place or driven through a red traffic light? The an swer is probably “yes”. Every year thousands of motorists become “offenders” – they break the rules of the road. But what are the punishments for this offence?

In most countries drivers have to pay a fine, usually $100-$300. But in the USA, Australia and some European countries offenders also get points on their driving licence. After they get a certain number of points, they can’t drive.

Life is difficult when you can’t drive so some states in the USA have introduced a new way to avoid this – Traffic School. Offenders have a choice, they can get points on their licence or they can do a course at Traffic School.

Traffic Schools run “driver improvement courses”. They cost about $100 and take from four to twelve hours. Most people do the course in a classroom, but in some states drivers can do the course online. Motorists learn the rules of the road and they learn how to be better drivers. They don’t have to take a driving test, but at the end of the course they have to pass a written examination.

Questions:

11. What is Traffic School? (C)

12. Why do offenders go to Traffic School? (A)

13. What can we learn about the “driver improvement courses”? (D)

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Rockets, no matter how well-made, have always been sent on one-way missions. They have either been damaged or fallen back to Earth afterward. This is one of the reasons why space exploration has always been very expensive. But now, there seems to be a solution to the problem.

On Nov 16, US private company Blue Origin successfully launched and returned its New Shepard rocket in a test flight in Texas. “The flight could completely change spaceflight”, reported The Christian Science Monitor. “The rocket is reusable, meaning spaceflight could become much mor e affordable.”

The rocket reached an altitude of 100km and landed safely back on Earth.

“Being able to use rockets again changes everything, and we can’t wait to add fuel and fly again,” Blue Origin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said in a news release.

Questions:

14. Why is space exploration always very expensive? (B)

15. What’s the name of the rocket launched on Nov. 16? (A)

16. What’s special about that rocket? (D)

Section C

Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.

M: Excuse me. Can you help me?

W: Sure. What can I do for you?

M: I’d like to take a trip on one of those buses that shows you all the sights. You know, where you can get off and back on where you want…

W: Ah, yes. You want a city sightseeing tour. It stops in 20 places, and it costs $20. M: How long does the tour take?

W: Well, it depends whether you get off or not, but if you stay on and don’t get off, about an hour and a half.

M: Where can we buy a ticket?

W: Here, or at the bus station. But you can’t go on with your backpack. It’s too big. M: OK! No problem. I’ll leave it in the hotel. Another thing, I’ve read that there is an exhibition of modern art going on now. Is that right?

W: Yes, that’s right. It’s at the Studio until the end of next week.

M: How much is it to get in?

W: Twelve dollars, but it’s best to book a few days in advance.

M: Oh, that’s too bad. And one more thing. I need to buy a present for my mother. It’s her birthday soon. Is there a gift shop around here?

W: There’s a good one just around the corner, but it’s closed for lunch right now. It’ll be open again at 2:00.

M: Ok. That’s great. Thanks for all your help.

W: You are welcome. Enjoy your visit!

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

W: What hours do you work Tristan?

M: It depends. I sometimes have to work at night but I usually work about eight to ten hours a day. It’s hard to be exact.

W: How often do you have to work at night?

M: Well, I have to be on call two nights a week.

W: And do you have to work on weekends?

M: Sometimes. In this job you have to work very odd hours. You never know if there’ll be an emergency.

W: Tell me about your days.

M: Well, there’s always variety and that’s good. In the mornings I work here in the clinic, but in the afternoons I have to go out on visits – often, here in the countryside, to farms.

W: What’s the most difficult thing about the job?

M: Well, it’s the night shift, really. When I get home after an emergency, I find it difficult to go to sleep.

W: I hear the training’s quite hard.

M; Oh yes, I had to study for five years. As a part of my training I came here for work experience and when I graduated, they offered me a job. I didn’t have to look for a job.

W: That was lucky. Are you well-paid?

M: It’s not too bad! When I have my own practice it’ll be better.

W: And what are the secrets of being good at your job?

M: Well, obviously you have to love working with animals, but you also have to be sensitive to their owners – pets are important to people and sometimes you have to give bad news. You have to stay calm in emergencies.

W: And what are your plans for the future?

M: Well, as I said, eventually I’d like to have my own practice. Anyway, nice to talk to you. I have to go now. Bye!

W: Thanks, and bye!

上海市杨浦区2019届高三英语一模

考试六大应试技巧 一、自我暗示、消除焦虑 ①自我暗示法。用平时自己考试中曾有优异成绩来不断暗示自己：我是考生中的佼佼者；我一定能考得理想的成绩；我虽然有困难的题目，但别人不会做的题目也很多。 ②决战决胜法。视考场为考试的大敌，用过去因怯场而失败的教训鞭策自己决战决胜。 二、整体浏览，了解卷情 拿到试卷后，在规定的地方写好姓名和准考证号后，先对试卷进行整体感知，看看这份试卷共多少页、总题量是多少、分哪几大部分、有哪几种题型。这样不仅可以要防止试卷错误，尽早调换，避免不必要的损失；而且通过对全卷作的整体把握，能尽早定下作战方案。 重要的是初步了解下试卷的难易度，以便自己合理安排答题时间，避免会做的没有做，不会做的却浪费了时间的情况出现。 三、“两先两后”，合理安排 ①先易后难 ②先熟后生 四、“一慢一快”，慢中求快 一、书写速度应快，不慢慢吞吞。二、书写的内容要简明扼要，不拖泥带水，噜嗦重复，尽量写出得分点就行了。 五、分段得分，每分必争 对于会做的题目。对会做的题目要解决对而不全的老大难问题，如果出现跳步往往就会造成丢分的情况，因此，答题过程一定规范，重要步骤不可遗漏，这就是分段得分。 对于不会做的题目，这里又分两种情况，一种是一大题分几小题的，一种是一大题只有一问的。对于前者，我们的策略是“跳步解答”，第一小题答不出来，就把第一小题作为已 知条件，用来解答第二小题，只要答得对，第二小题照样得分。对于后者，我们的策略是“缺步解题”，能演算到什么程度就什么程度，不强求结论。这样可以最大程度地得到分数。 六、重视检查环节 如果自己的考试时间还有些充裕，那么根不可匆忙交卷，而应作耐心的复查。将模棱两可的及未做的题目最后要进行检查、作答，特别是填空题、选择题不要留空白。

2020上海杨浦高三英语一模试卷

六大注意 1 考生需自己粘贴答题卡的条形码 考生需在监考老师的指导下，自己贴本人的试卷条形码。粘贴前，注意核对一下条形码上的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号是否有误，如果有误，立即举手报告。如果无误，请将条形码粘贴在答题卡的对应位置。万一粘贴不理想，也不要撕下来重贴。只要条形码信息无误，正确填写了本人的考生号、考场号及座位号，评卷分数不受影响。 2 拿到试卷后先检查有无缺张、漏印等 拿到试卷后先检查试卷有无缺张、漏印、破损或字迹不清等情况，尽管这种可能性非常小。如果有，及时举手报告；如无异常情况，请用签字笔在试卷的相应位置写上姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号。写好后，放下笔，等开考信号发出后再答题，如提前抢答，将按违纪处理。 3 注意保持答题卡的平整 填涂答题卡时，要注意保持答题卡的平整，不要折叠、弄脏或撕破，以免影响机器评阅。 若在考试时无意中污损答题卡确需换卡的，及时报告监考老师用备用卡解决，但耽误时间由本人负责。不管是哪种情况需启用新答题卡，新答题卡都不再粘贴条形码，但要在新答题卡上填涂姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号。 4 不能提前交卷离场 按照规定，在考试结束前，不允许考生交卷离场。如考生确因患病等原因无法坚持到考试结束，由监考老师报告主考，由主考根据情况按有关规定处理。 5 不要把文具带出考场 考试结束，停止答题，把试卷整理好。然后将答题卡放在最上面，接着是试卷、草稿纸。不得把答题卡、试卷、草稿纸带出考场，试卷全部收齐后才能离场。请把文具整理好，放在座次标签旁以便后面考试使用，不得把文具带走。 6 外语听力有试听环 外语考试14:40入场完毕，听力采用CD播放。14：50开始听力试听，试听结束时，会有“试听到此结束”的提示。听力部分考试结束时，将会有“听力部分到此结束”的提示。听力部分结束后，考生可以开始做其他部分试题。
