Section A

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

( A )

When thinking of boutiques(精品店), we often imagine jewelry and clothing shops that women frequent. But are there boutiques for men? Yes! Nestled (坐落于) in the Hualong Mountain area of Hsinchu County lies a men's boutique. That is (25) _____ Kevin Lo, sales manager at Musclecar GT, describes this company (26) _____ reproduces high-quality parts for classic cars. The average customers are 40-to 65-year-old men from around the world.

Finding spare parts is (27) _____ (big) problem for collectors of classic cars. But this company can help collectors overcome this challenge because they deal with cars built from 1932 to 1974.

Using reverse engineering, Musclecar GT builds a copy of each car. When making a car, they ask that the original car be shipped to them (28) ____ (check) and repaired. Afterward, they do a 3-D scan of the car to find missed flaws. Molds(模具) of the parts (29) _____ (develop), and necessary machinery for the production line is made. The edges of the machines are hand scanned so no faults will occur on the final product.

Skilled workers are needed for the entire production process. Knowing that only older workers had the needed skills, owner Lo Hsiuhsien then (30) _____ (encourage) them to teach young people what they knew. These young employees, who are enthusiastic about cars, know that quality comes first.

People can order furniture or decorations for their restaurants to give them a 1950s diner feeling. They can also have couches or tables in their houses made from classic car parts. Those interested in getting a feel for (31) _____ this is like can easily find it at Lo Sir Classic Car Manor near Bei Pu. Visitors can stop by (32) _____ a cup of coffee or lunch and view some of the classic cars.

( B )

The most common mistakes (33) _____ (lead) to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits. How you move objects, your posture, not stretching before exercising and the wrong kind of shoes all contribute to one of the most common medical problems today. Back pain affects eight out of 10 people in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Dr. Douglas Won, founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano, Texas, offers some tips to improve back health:

First, maintain proper body mechanics:

●Stretch (34) _____ exercising or doing any tough activity. Push heavy objects across the floor

instead of pulling or lifting them.

●(35) _____ lifting is necessary, lift with your knees, not your back.

●Avoid sudden movements and "twisting" motions when carrying objects--even a bag of

groceries can do serious harm when (36) _____ (handle) improperly.

●Maintain good posture as often as possible. When standing, your weight (37) _____ be

balanced smoothly and regularly on both feet to avoid injuring your muscles and joints.

●Wear proper shoes. High-heeled shoes are common criminals, but even tennis shoes can be

(38) _____ problem if they don't provide you with proper support.

Next, adopt healthy habits:

●Exercise regularly: The best programs for back health include basic (39) _____ (strengthen)

and cardiovascular (心血管的) exercises.

●Reduce stress: When stressed, the body tightens (40) _____ muscles. This can result in

spasms(痉挛), "muscle twists" and stressed nerves that are painful and can lead to more serious problems.

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.

When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can involve some stress. But they would do well to remember that a new __41__ is available --micro-homes.

Called "tiny houses," these houses have all living necessities in a small __42__, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more. What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.

Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also boast __43__ practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world's narrowest home, filled in a corridor. The prototype(原型) home Ecocapsule uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live __44__ anywhere. A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or __45__ courtyard.

Visually __46__ as micro-homes are, there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting comfortable on a mini-couch. Moving into a tiny house requires the __47__ of most non-essentials, no matter the emotional connection to them. Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the __48__ space may even cause an unaccompanied individual to experience some cabin fever. And finally, a micro-home is likely a(n) __49__ living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.

Though the limitations will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in a small price tag and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget. And though you won't have much stuff around the house, this can provide the comfort of simple living and maintenance. Micro-homes are also practically mobile and boast eco-friendliness that can't be __50__ by other homes. They probably aren't for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.

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.

Let's face it: while we go to the office to work, no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time they're there. Yet companies expect __51__ out of their employees: that's why they're paying you to be there. No talking or socializing at all is one __52__, while the other is being able to talk to whomever you want, whenever you want, about whatever you want, even if you never quite manage to make it to your desk until 11:00 a.m. Both examples are __53__ unrealistic. So first we have the entire gray area in between those two, and that's just during office time.

The phrase "people-oriented" is generally used to __54__ something that vaguely represents a company where everyone is pleasant and happy. It's fun to work there, everyone likes his or her job and each employee is __55__ well and fairly. Know any companies like that? People-oriented is a traditional and unclear phrase that needs __56__ to make sure your definition is the same as the company's and that you can spot a __57__ if there is one.

So what do you mean by people-oriented? Do you want a company that promotes from within and doesn't __58__ gathering at the water cooler? A company where management makes a practice of being __59__? A place where customers are of great __60__ both in philosophy and actuality, or one that is involved in its community and requires each __61__ to join or participate in a specific event once or twice each year? When you look closer at what this phrase means to you, you'll discover that some aspects are more important to you than others. Knowing what you mean by this phrase gives you the power to discover if the company's __62__ is the same as yours.

Why bother leaving a message that may not be __63__ for days when you can reach someone instantly with a text or instant message? That seems to be increasingly dominant viewpoint, anyway. When texting and instant messaging for __64__ needs, keep in mind some tips from workplace and career experts.

Marla Harr, a business etiquette consultant and trainer, says that when relying on texting and messaging for work, you should __65__ that the person you want to send a text message wants to receive and communicate in that way.

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.

(A)

Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay, Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere. But polar bears like it that way. They spend summers on the tundra (苔原) around Churchill. In the fall, they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form. Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals -- their favorite food. October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times. From tundra vehicles, visitors to Churchill observe the bears. Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities. Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears' migration route to view the vigorous creatures. These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements.

Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year, there is growing concern about the animals' future. Because the earth is getting warmer, the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring. As a result, polar bears have less time to hunt for seals. Polar bears can also find smaller animals, bird eggs and berries on land, but this kind of food is not sufficient to support the animals.

Polar bears are also affected by plastic and chemicals that get into the ocean. A research project carried out in northern Europe has found high concentrations of both plastic and chemicals in the tissue of polar bears. These materials and substances can damage the animals' internal organs, especially when the animals are not yet mature. Many people are researching polar bear health. Their goal is to gather the information that is needed to help save these animals.

You know the feelings of operating on autopilot, running from one meeting to the next--or skipping from one email distraction to another.

Before you know it, the month has passed, the season has changed and you're left scratching your head, wondering how to bring meaning back to your career and life.

Kory Kogon, FranklinCovey productivity expert and co-author of The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity, says the problem is widespread. In fact, an international six-year study by FranklinCovey found that 40 percent of respondents indicated they spent 40 percent of their time on things that were "not important" to them or to their companies.

Based on the timeless principles of human productivity and backed by the latest neuroscience (神经系统科学) research, Kogon's co-authored book aims to help people increase productivity at work and in their personal lives by making wise choices on a daily basis.

"Our attention is under attack, and people feel overburdened like never before," Kogon says.

Kogon says the condition is that people live with the effects of a productivity paradox (悖论). Technology has left individuals feeling overburdened with the number of decisions they must make during the day, the number of tasks that require their attention and the drain of their personal energy.

Adam Merril, another co-author of The 5 Choices, says that the book research made him much more aware of how these challenges make harmful impact on individuals.

"You can see the cost of this on our daily lives, on our relationships that have not been cultivated and on our goals that have not been met," Merril says. People waste time, attention and energy on things that don't drive the most important results.

Before jumping into the specific choices, it's important to note that the book builds on the FranklinCovey principles of time management, specifically the idea of fitting activities into quadrants (象限) based on what's urgent, not urgent, important and not important.

Quadrant 2, the home of activities that are important but not urgent, is seen as the place of extraordinary productivity. Kogon says it's in this quadrant that you can focus on doing proactive (积极主动的) work, achieving high-impact goals, creative thinking, planning, relationship building and learning.

"Unlike the other quadrants, where things come at you, you have to consciously choose to be in quadrant 2," she notes.

But to get there, you must learn to rewire your brain, which has become accustomed to responding to the urgent and feeling that dopamine (多巴胺) high. Kogon says that the latest brain science shows that individuals can overcome "urgency addiction" by taking time to pause and consider what's actually important.

The strategy, which the authors call "pause-clarify-decide", puts emphasis on the difference

between the "reactive brain" and the "thinking brain".

When you can pause long enough to ask yourself if something is important, you can clarify and decide what will give you the best return on every moment of your day.

74. The expression "scratch your head" in the second paragraph refers to _____.

A. seize your head firmly

B. strike your head violently

C. think hard about something

D. recall something in the past

75. According to the passage, what is the book The 5 Choices based on?

A. The theory of Extraordinary Productivity.

B. The latest science research.

C. The effects of a productivity paradox.

D. Principles of time management.

76. The best title for the passage is _____.

A. Make Time for What Matters

B. The Functions of The 5 Choices

C. Four Quadrants of Time Management

D. The Aspects to Affect Productivity

77. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Except things in quadrant 2, other things need to be done immediately.

B. It should be importance not urgency that guides your workflow.

C. A good way to overcome urgency addition is to take your time.

D. The strategy, pause-clarify-decide focuses on reactive brain.

Section C

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

After 10 years in the spotlight, country-music star Carrie Underwood is still enjoying herself, still growing and still staying true to who she is. But these personal accomplishments are not easy, even when you're living a dream come true.

Growing up in small-town Oklahoma, Underwood currently lives a life that is many miles removed from her childhood, literally and figuratively (象征性地). She grew up comfortably on a cattle farm, but her interest in performing was clear from the beginning as she sang in church and talent shows. Proving to be a more than competent singer, she was offered a record deal at 14, though it fell through.

Underwood's proper music career began with her audition on the TV singing competition American Idol at age 21 in 2005. After impressing the judges, Underwood competed in Hollywood. Show producer Simon Cowell made a prediction: "Not only will you win this show, you will sell more records than any other previous Idol winner." Indeed, Underwood did win that year's competition and has managed to outsell even Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.

After winning American Idol, Underwood debuted (首发) the album Some Hearts, which was a great success, now seven times platinum(白金). She has released four other albums, most recently Greatest Hits: Decade #1, implying she's far from finished, though she's not interested in stepping on familiar ground. "I don’t want to make the same album over and over again... Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight – country Carrie or Pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to."

As Underwood continues to grow her fan base (Australia and the U.K. have become significant followers), she knows her situation is rare. "...If I hadn't made my place in country music via American Idol, I probably could have tried to make it for the rest of my life and never made any progress," she says. Country singer Brad Paisley has also heard her express that she feels she is a star for no reason, that others are annoyed about her smooth success. "I told her she was one of the greatest gifts we have been given in Nashville," says Paisley.

78.According to the passage, Underwood's present life and her childhood are _______________.

79.How do you find Underwood's first record deal?

80.What does Simon Cowell's prediction mean?

81.Underwood named her latest album Decade #1 because ______________.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)

Section A Short Conversations

Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once.

1.M: What would you like to have, madam?

W: Well, I’d like to have a cup of coffee and some pancakes.

Q: Where does the conversation take place?

2.M: How’s the new job, Alison?

W: Well, I enjoy meeting people. And I like answering the phone. But I hate typing all day long.

Q: What is Alison?

3.M: How about going to the theatre tonight, Susan?

W: Sorry, I can’t. My sister is going to Boston and I have to drive her to the airport.

Q: Where is Susan going tonight?

4.M: I need a car this weekend, but mine has broken down.

W: I’m sorry to hear it. But you can always rent one if you have a license.

Q: What does the woman mean?

5.M: I feel thirsty. Could you get me something to drink?

W: Sorry, I’ve got no money with me. We are almost home.

Q: What does the woman imply?

6.M: Mark was called up again to Mr. Alien’s room. Apparently, he went against his class

teacher again.

W: They say he takes after his elder brother, Bobby. He too used to get into a lot of trouble in school.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

7.M: I haven't got my scores on the GRE test yet. Do you think I should call to make inquiries?

Section B Passages

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.

I am sick and tired of my daughter, Shirley, coming home and telling us all the nonsense she hears at school. I wish some of your teachers would do some useful work, such as helping the boys and girls to get through their exams, instead of wasting their time organizing discussions about pollution, traffic problems, unemployment and things of that sort. It’s as if they were going to a council meeting, not to school.

If some of these bright young teachers of yours had children of their own, they might think twice before putting ideas into the head of young people. If only they’d get on with their job and stop encouraging kids to argue with their parents about things they know nothing about, I’d be able to sit down and enjoy my dinner in peace when I come home from work, and so would a lot of other parents, I imagine.

I would like to know what you propose to do about this situation.

Questions:

11.Who do you think this letter is addressed to?

12.What does the writer want the teachers to do?

13.What do the writer’s kids often do when they have dinner at home?

.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage

Business is the most popular area of study for students who come to the United States. MBA is a master's degree in business administration. MBA programs teach about economics. They also teach about the structure of organization, and about other subjects including finance and marketing. Students do more study in areas that interest them. It usually takes two years to get an MBA if you attend school full time. People who have jobs might choose a part-time program that takes longer. To be admitted to an MBA program, foreign students must have a bachelor's degree. They must show a clear understanding of English by doing well on the Test of English as Foreign Language. Besides, they must take the Graduate Management Admission Test. The Graduate Management Admission Council has some advice for foreign students. It says they should investigate in detail what different schools could do to help them find a job. For example, ask how many companies that come to the schools are willing to hire international students.

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Hi, Linda. I’d like to discuss something with you. Can you spare me a few minutes?

W: Sure, I just got out of my eleven o’clock class. I don’t have another class until this afternoon. M: Good. Listen, I’ve just received an E-mail from the computer center. They need two assistants to help the project. You are the right person.

W: What do you mean?

M: They are looking for students to work for the school website this semester. I think you are well-qualified and might like to consider the part-time job.

W: Sounds interesting, but I haven’t got a good command of computer.

M: Well, I don’t think any specific technology is necessary in this work.

W: Then what is the point?

M: Your interests in computer and the Internet are the keys to the job.

W: It also involves efforts and devotion which are my strong points.

M: Great. Also, they’re paying good money. Do you want to try your luck?

W: Of course. It sounds like a great chance for me to get some experience as an assistant. Thanks for thinking of me.

M: I will give you a reply as soon as possible.

Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

W: Hello, Gary. Did you have time to look at my proposal?

M: Yes, what is it?

W: I’ve been trying to come up with some new production and advertisements. If we want to stay competitive, we need to modernize our factory.

M: How much will that cost?

W: Around one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to half a million.

M: OK. We’ll have to discuss these costs with finance.

W: We should also consider human resources. I’ve been talking to board and staff at the factory. M: What about advertising?

W: Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials.

M: TV? Isn’t that a bit too expensive for us? What’s wrong with advertising in the papers, as usual?

W: Quite frankly, it’s just not enough anymore. We need to be more aggressive in order to keep ahead of our competitors.

M: Will we be able to afford all this?

W: I’ll look into it, but I think higher costs will be justified. These investments will result in higher profits for our company.

M: We’ll have to look at the figures more closely.

Complete the form. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

2018届上海各区高三英语一模——summary汇编

【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.
