These things must be made from good, _______30_______ materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no _______31_______ prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods. At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we _______32_______ on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent _______33_______, both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the _______34_______ of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more _______35_______, the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI. The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, _______36_______ manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the _______37_______ selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.

For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in ________39________ with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste.

(A) Beauty that can’t be seen In the serene town of Willowbrook resided the young maiden Lily. Her skin bore the intricate tapestry of a rare condition, a mosaic of scars and blemishes that danced across her face like a testament to the trials she had endured. Yet, within this canvas of imperfections, Lily’s heart radiated a warmth that enveloped all who crossed her path in a tender embrace. One fateful afternoon, as the sun descended in a cascade of golden hues, Lily’s path intertwined with that of Lucas, a young man whose world was veiled in eternal darkness. Drawn by the angelic voice of Lily and the kindness that exuded from her very being, Lucas found comfort in her presence. Their friendship blossomed like a delicate flower, each moment spent together a symphony of shared laughter and unspoken understanding. As the days bring more shared experiences, Lucas found himself fascinated by the world as perceived through Lily’s eyes. In her, he discovered a kaleidoscope (万花筒) of beauty that transcended the confines of sight, a beauty woven from threads of kindness, compassion, and unwavering attitude. Though his eyes could not behold the physical scars that adorned Lily’s form, his heart beheld the true essence of her being — a luminous spirit that lightened the darkest corners of his world. With each passing day, their bond deepened, evolving into a romance that defied the conventions of superficiality and embraced the profound connection that existed between their souls. Lily and Lucas found a beauty that transcended the limitations of physical form, a beauty that dwelled in the uncharted depths of their souls. Their love became a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit, a reminder that true beauty is not merely skin-deep but a radiant light that originates from the very core of our being, touching the hearts of all who dare to see beyond the surface. 65.

Beauty is what provides pleasure to the senses, either in visual or audio way D. Beauty is something in good proportion that creates aesthetic harmony and appeal (B) In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin. Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin. Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores. Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion. Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution. Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products. Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas. Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath. Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it! 69. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________. A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine 70. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth. A. milk B. papaya C. grapes D. strawberries 71. The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________. A. owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales B. customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits C. women who want to become beautiful and healthy D. chefs who are particular about food ingredients (C) The clothes we choose to wear serve as an access to our cultural heritage, societal standing, and personal inclinations. Let us embark on a captivating journey through the myriad (迷宫) of clothing across various cultures. In Western realms, a leisure attitude towards attire dominates daily life. Informal ensembles (全套服装) featuring jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers reign supreme, embodying a principal of comfort and ease. The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression. This approach to clothing allows individuals to effortlessly stay in comfort with personal style, creating a harmonious balance between ease and individuality in their everyday wardrobes. Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism. For instance, in Japan, where the ceremonial kimonos dominate special events or festivities, featuring intricate designs and vibrant hues, a rich cultural legacy woven into the fabric. India’s sarees mirror a vibrant mosaic influenced by regional traditions and ceremonial customs. The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover. In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences. Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures. In native communities, attire transcends its utilitarian purpose, emerging as a channel to nature and spirituality. At its essence, clothing transcends me re fabric and stitches; it embodies our cultural ethos, traditions, and identities. Delving into the diverse sartorial landscapes across cultures enables us to embrace and celebrate the tapestry of our shared global community in all its richness and diversity. 72. What account for Westerners’ leisure attitude towards dressing? A. respect for authority and formality B. justification of staying different C. pressure from busy daily routines D. emphasis of practicality and personality 73. How do traditional garments like kimonos and sarees reflect the cultural values of Asian countries? A. They reflect traditionalism and hidden individuality B. They reveal the challenge to expression of personality C. They show the denial female charm on a social scale D. They represent the refusal of sticking to formality 74. What’s the difference in dress code for women and men in Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia? A. Women wear long clothes for warmth while men do this to protect against sunshine B. Women wear loose clothes for the sake of comfortableness while men seldom do this C Women cover themselves to show humility while men do this to show status D. Women envelop themselves to stay elegant while men do this to be handsome 75. Which of the following piece of clothes best represents a typical African one? A. B. C. D. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Time, What is it? If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it?” what would you do? You’d probably look at your watch and say, “ It’s a quarter to three,” or some such thing. ________76________ But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it?” you’d probably look at me as if I were crazy. What is time? How would you define it? For centuries, philosophers and wise men have tried to explain time. Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not.” ________77________ Sir Isaac Newton said that time was absolute, that it occurred whether the universe was here or not. Leibnitz came along and turned Newton’s definition upside down. He said, “ Time is merely the order of events, not an entity itself.” Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” ________78________ He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven. ________79________ Everything is an event. Reading this book is an event. Getting out of bed this morning is an event. Driving your car is an event. Arriving at work is an event. Your phone ringing is an event. Eating lunch is an event. I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.” Ben Franklin said, “ Dost thou love life? Then do not squander (挥霍) time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” If this is true, then controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life. A. The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter. B. The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.” C. He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.” D. Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past E. In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions. F. If we waste time, how can we say we love our lives? 第II卷 *Section A (2’x 8=16’) Phrase Translation 汉译英 80. 社会地位随着时间推移而改变________________ 81. 各年龄段的人不同的审美标准________________ 82. 因地域和文化不同而各不相同________________ 83. 把家族故事镌刻在苗族银饰上________________ 84. 佩戴长命锁确保孩子一生平安________________ 85. 款待拾金不昧者喝咖啡以表谢意________________ 86. 听闻爱犬离世的噩耗而伤心落泪________________ 87. 及时采访幸存者以了解事故内幕________________ *Section B (3’+3’+4’+5’=15’) Sentence Translation Directions: Translate the following phrases into English, using the words given. 88. 莎士比亚的悲剧和喜剧是无价之宝，在经典云集的英语文学界独树一帜。(stand) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________ 89. 专业化很可能是未来人才培养的趋势，职业教育可以有效补足技术人才缺口。(likely) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________ 90. 这件纯手工打造的刺绣品凝聚了几代人的心血，细节处臻于完善，因此只有在结婚纪念日这样的特殊场合才能佩戴。(perfect) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________ 91. 少数民族服饰是一个国家文化符号，在不同的历史时期用自己的方式绽放美丽，未来也将在树立民族形象方面起到越来越重要的作用。(way) (汉译英) _________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 上海交通大学附属中学2023-2024学年度第二学期 高一英语期末考试卷 I.

So, at MUJI you’ll find no _______31_______ prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods. At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different.

As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more _______35_______, the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.

For the materials, the _______37_______ selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.

Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in ________39________ with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag. 【答案】30. E 31. F 32. B 33. H 34. G 35. D 36. J 37. K 38. I 39.

However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin. Milk is not just a staple in our diets; it also has skincare benefits. Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. However, you can’t add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy (过敏) due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin. Olive oil, a Mediterranean staple, is not only great for cooking but also for moisturizing the skin, making the it silky and smooth. While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores. Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals (自由基) which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion. Papaya, thanks to its enzyme papain, can help to dissolve pore-blocking debris and slough off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution. Strawberries are not just sweet and juicy; they can also help calm redness. The antioxidants in strawberries work to even out skin tone and improve the overall texture of the skin, making it appear more uniform and clear. However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products. Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated. However, those with acne-prone skin should use honey-based products sparingly, as they may be too rich and potentially pore-clogging. Therefore, use honey in moderation and choose products with lighter formulas. Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate (去屑) the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion. Skincare products containing citrus ingredients can help slough off dead skin cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin underneath. Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it! 69. To keep skin moist, we can resort to some natural products except __________. A. milk B. olive oil C. honey D. tangerine 70. For a berry-allergic old lady with sensitive skin condition, you’d better recommend __________ to be involved in her diet and daily skincare to help her preserve youth. A. milk B. papaya C. grapes D. strawberries 71. The passage can probably be targeted at ____________________. A. owners of fruit shops who wants to promote sales B. customers in supermarket who are searching for fruits C. women who want to become beautiful and healthy D. chefs who are particular about food ingredients 【答案】69. D 70. C 71. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何利用食物成分改善皮肤护理效果，包括牛奶保湿、橄榄油滋润、葡萄抗氧化、木瓜去角质、草莓舒缓红肿、蜂蜜保湿和橘子去屑，强调天然成分的优势和健康护肤的重要性。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“Rich in proteins and lipids (油脂), milk helps the skin retain water, keeping it moist and supple, if drunk regularly. (牛奶富含蛋白质和脂质，如果经常饮用，可以帮助皮肤保持水分，保持皮肤湿润和柔软。)”和表格第二行的“While olive oil is an excellent moisturizer, it’s best to use products containing olive oil on the arms and legs rather than the face to avoid clogging pores.(虽然橄榄油是一种极好的保湿剂，但最好将含有橄榄油的产品用在胳膊和腿上，而不是脸上，以避免堵塞毛孔。)”和表格第六行的“Honey helps to lock in moisture and alleviate dry patches, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.(蜂蜜有助于锁住水分，缓解皮肤干燥，使皮肤柔软、水润。)”和表格第七行的“Tangerines are packed with fruit acids that help exfoliate the skin, promoting a smoother and more radiant complexion.(橘子富含果酸，可以帮助皮肤去角质，促进皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。含有柑橘类成分的护肤品可以帮助去除死皮细胞，让皮肤下面呈现出一层新鲜的皮肤。)”可知， 文中提到了橘子的去角质特性，因为它含有果酸，可以使皮肤更光滑、更有光泽。然而，与牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜相比，橘子通常不专门用于保湿目的，而牛奶、橄榄油和蜂蜜则以其对皮肤的保湿和补水功效而闻名。因此，橘子不适合用于保持皮肤水分。故选D。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一行的“However, you can’s add milk into homemade face masks for a hydrating boost, because it might cause skin allergy due to the rich nutrition which can’t be absorbed by skin.(然而，你不能在自制的面膜中加入牛奶来补水，因为它可能会导致皮肤过敏，因为丰富的营养不能被皮肤吸收。) ”和表格第四行的“However, individuals with sensitive skin or a papaya allergy should proceed with caution.(然而，皮肤敏感或对木瓜过敏的人应该谨慎行事。) ”和表格第五行的“However, individuals with berry allergies should steer clear of strawberry-based products.(然而，对浆果过敏的人应该避开草莓类产品。) ”可知，牛奶、木瓜和草莓对于一个对浆果过敏、皮肤敏感的老太太来说都不合适，再由表格第三行的“Grapes are not only a delicious snack but also a mild source of antioxidants, providing anti-aging protection by combating free radicals which can cause damage to the skin. Adding grapes to your diet or skincare routine can help promote a more youthful complexion.(葡萄不仅是一种美味的零食，也是一种温和的抗氧化剂来源，通过对抗自由基提供抗衰老保护，自由基会对皮肤造成损害。在你的饮食或护肤中加入葡萄可以帮助你拥有更年轻的肤色。) ”可知，葡萄可以添加到她的饮食和日常护肤中，帮助她保持年轻。故选C。 【71题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the quest for radiant and youthful skin, many people turn to cosmetic products and treatments. However, nature provides us with a bounty of ingredients that can work wonders for our skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. Incorporating food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can be a delicious and effective way to nourish and pamper your skin.(为了获得容光焕发和年轻的皮肤，许多人转向化妆品和治疗。然而，大自然为我们提供了大量的成分，可以为我们的皮肤创造奇迹，而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的程序。在日常护肤中加入食物成分是一种既美味又有效的滋养和呵护皮肤的方法。)”和最后一段的“Incorporating these food-based ingredients into your skincare routine can provide numerous benefits for your skin, from hydration and exfoliation to antioxidant protection and anti-aging benefits. By harnessing the power of nature’s bounty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive treatments. So next time you’re in the kitchen, consider reaching for these natural ingredients to nourish and pamper your skin from the inside out. Your skin will thank you for it!(将这些食物成分加入你的护肤程序中可以为你的皮肤提供许多好处，从补水和去角质到抗氧化保护和抗衰老。利用大自然的恩赐，你可以获得健康、容光焕发的皮肤，而不需要刺激性的化学物质或侵入性的治疗。所以下次你在厨房的时候，考虑使用这些天然成分，从内到外滋养和呵护你的皮肤。你的皮肤会感谢你的！)”可知，从牛奶、橄榄油、葡萄、木瓜、草莓、蜂蜜和橘子等食品中提取的天然护肤成分对皮肤补水、抗衰老、去角质和整体皮肤健康的好处，目标受众可能对自然的方法感兴趣，而不是诉诸刺激性化学物质或侵入性治疗，因此这篇文章针对的是那些想要变得美丽和健康的女性。故选C。 (C) The clothes we choose to wear serve as an access to our cultural heritage, societal standing, and personal inclinations. Let us embark on a captivating journey through the myriad (迷宫) of clothing across various cultures. In Western realms, a leisure attitude towards attire dominates daily life. Informal ensembles (全套服装) featuring jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers reign supreme, embodying a principal of comfort and ease. The blend of casual and laid-back styles in Western fashion reflects a society that values practicality and self-expression. This approach to clothing allows individuals to effortlessly stay in comfort with personal style, creating a harmonious balance between ease and individuality in their everyday wardrobes. Conversely, traditional attire in Asian emphasizes formality and conservatism. For instance, in Japan, where the ceremonial kimonos dominate special events or festivities, featuring intricate designs and vibrant hues, a rich cultural legacy woven into the fabric. India’s sarees mirror a vibrant mosaic influenced by regional traditions and ceremonial customs. The timeless elegance of sarees draping women in a swath of fabric represents a tapestry of colors and patterns that narrate stories of female individuality hidden under the nationwide cover. In some Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, women gracefully envelop themselves in abayas, long black robes that enshroud their forms entirely. This strict dress code, steeped in the rules of religious faith and cultural morals, conveys values of female modesty and respect for males. Traditional attire for Middle Eastern men includes garments such as thobes or dishdashas, which are long, loose-fitting robes typically worn with a head covering. These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences. Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures. In native communities, attire transcends its utilitarian purpose, emerging as a channel to nature and spirituality. At its essence, clothing transcends me re fabric and stitches; it embodies our cultural ethos, traditions, and identities. Delving into the diverse sartorial landscapes across cultures enables us to embrace and celebrate the tapestry of our shared global community in all its richness and diversity. 72.

These garments are not only practical for the region’s climate but also reflect the wearer’s background, social status, and personal preferences(在一些中东国家，如沙特阿拉伯，女性优雅地身着长袍，这种黑色的长袍完全包裹着她们的身体。这种严格的着装规定深受宗教信仰和文化道德的影响，传达了女性的谦逊和对男性的尊重。中东男性的传统服饰包括长袍或迪什达沙，这是一种长而宽松的袍子，通常搭配头巾。这些服装不仅适合该地区的气候，还反映了穿着者的背景、社会地位和个人喜好)”可知，在沙特阿拉伯等中东国家，女性和男性的着装规范的不同之处在于：女性为了表示谦卑而遮盖自己，而男性则是为了显示地位。故选C。 【75题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Across diverse African residences, clothing emerges as a canvas for expressing cultural underpinnings and heritage. The vibrant hues and intricate patterns decorating traditional garments like dashiki s or kaftans resonate with the boundless creativity and diversity inherent in African cultures(在非洲各地的住宅中，服装成为表达文化基础和遗产的画布。装饰传统服装如达西基裙或长袍的鲜艳色彩和复杂图案，与非洲文化中固有的无限创造力和多样性产生共鸣)”可知，非洲的传统服饰色彩鲜艳，图案复杂，因此选项B最能代表典型的非洲服饰。故选B。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Time, What is it? If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it?” what would you do? You’d probably look at your watch and say, “ It’s a quarter to three,” or some such thing. ________76________ But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it?” you’d probably look at me as if I were crazy. What is time? How would you define it? For centuries, philosophers and wise men have tried to explain time. Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not.” ________77________ Sir Isaac Newton said that time was absolute, that it occurred whether the universe was here or not. Leibnitz came along and turned Newton’s definition upside down. He said, “ Time is merely the order of events, not an entity itself.” Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it.” ________78________ He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven. ________79________ Everything is an event. Reading this book is an event. Getting out of bed this morning is an event. Driving your car is an event. Arriving at work is an event. Your phone ringing is an event. Eating lunch is an event. I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.” Ben Franklin said, “ Dost thou love life? Then do not squander (挥霍) time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.” If this is true, then controlling your life means controlling your time, and controlling your time means controlling the events in your life. A. The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter. B. The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.” C. He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.” D. Time is what is happening now and will happen in the future replace what happened in the past E. In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions. F. If we waste time, how can we say we love our lives? 【答案】76. E 77. A 78. C 79. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了时间的定义以及我们该如何控制时间。 【76题详解】 根据上文“If I were to stop you on the street and say,“ Excuse me, what time is it? ””（如果我在街上拦住你说：“对不起，现在几点了？”“你会怎么做？”）引出话题，提到在街上拦住你问你时间。以及下文“But if I were to stop you on the street and say the same words but in a different order, “ Time, what is it? ””（但是如果我在街上拦住你，用不同的顺序说同样的话：“时间，它是什么？”）转折提到在街上拦住你的另外一种情况。结合选项E项In America we don’t usually stop people on the street and ask them philosophical questions.（在美国，我们通常不会在街上拦住人，问他们一些哲学问题。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【77题详解】 根据上文“Saint Augustine once tried to answer this question. He said: “For what is time? Who is able easily and briefly to explain it? …Surely we understand well enough when we speak of it. What then is time? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to someone — plainly I know not. ””（圣奥古斯丁曾经试图回答这个问题。他说：“时间是为了什么？谁能简单扼要地解释一下？当然，当我们谈论它的时候，我们是很清楚的。那么时间是什么呢？如果没有人问我，我知道；但如果我想要向别人解释的话——老实说，我不知道。”）提到圣奥古斯丁也不知道如何向别人解释。结合选项A项The astute Augustine obviously wasn’t much help on this matter.（精明的奥古斯丁显然在这件事上帮不上什么忙。）可知，和上文内容意思相关，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进。故选A项。 【78题详解】 根据上文“Albert Einstein followed Leibnitz, and made the statement that “ Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it. ””（阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦遵循莱布尼茨的说法，他说：“除了我们衡量时间的事件顺序之外，时间没有独立的存在。”）提到爱因斯坦认为时间通过事件顺序衡量。下文“He said the train does not arrive at the station at 7 :00 PM; the train arrives at the station at the same moment the little hand reaches seven.”（他说火车晚上7点还没有到站；火车到达车站的同时，指针小手也到达了7）举例“火车到站与指针指向7点同时发生”。结合选项C项He then developed an idea called “simultaneous events.”（然后他提出了“同时性事件”的概念）与火车到站和钟表事件的例子直接对应。故选C。 【79题详解】 根据下文“Everything is an event.”（一切都是事件。）以及“I was in New York doing a time management seminar for Merrill Lynch executives, when a fellow handed me a card on which he had written his definition of time: “Time is what keeps one damned thing after another from becoming every damned thing at once.””（我在纽约为美林(Merrill Lynch)的高管们举办时间管理研讨会时，一位同事递给我一张卡片，上面写着他对时间的定义：“时间是阻止一件该死的事情接着另一件该死的事情同时变成另一件该死的事情的东西。”）可知，该段主要讲的是时间是事件相继发生的顺序。结合选项B项The definition from the dictionary says: “Time is the occurrence of events in sequence, one after the other.”（ 字典上的定义是：“时间是事件相继发生的顺序。”）可知，和该段意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选B项。 第II卷 *Section A (2’x 8=16’) Phrase Translation 汉译英 80. 社会地位随着时间推移而改变________________ 81. 各年龄段的人不同的审美标准________________
