A The Academy Awards Oscar presentation for excellence in the film industry has a long and rich history. In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was formed by 36 of the film industry’s most prominent individuals, choosing film actor Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. as its first president. In 1929, AMPAS presented the first Academy Award. The first Academy Awards, which took place at a private dinner for about 270 people, were presented in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Los Angeles, U. S. state of California. A gold trophy, a 34-centimeter-tall statuette (小雕像), is awarded to the winners. Most people think that the statuette, which weighs nearly four kilograms, must be made of solid gold. If only this were true. It is gold-plated, but the great majority of an Oscar statuette is only bronze. While it may be priceless to the winners, the Academy officially sets its value at a mere US $1. The statuettes are technically property of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. As a result, before an Oscar winner can sell his trophy, he must first offer to sell it to the Academy for one dollar. This rule is to discourage winners from selling the awards for financial gain. Oscar is not a particularly common man’s name, so where does the moniker come from? Legend has it that in the 1930s, the Academy’s first librarian and later its executive director, Margaret Herrick, was heard to say that the statuette resembled her Uncle Oscar. The name stuck, and in 1939 the Academy officially adopted Oscar to represent the common name of the award. Its official name, however, is the “Academy Award of Merit.” Whatever one wishes to call it, the Oscar is one of the world’s most recognizable trademarks. Cinema has come a long way since the first prototypes of movie cameras were developed near the end of the 19th century. Movies have since become one of the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide. The Oscars have come to represent excellence in cinema. 41 The passage is mainly about ________. A. the history of the film industry. B. facts about the Academy Award of Merit. C. how to estimate the value of an Oscar statuette. D. the founder of the Academy Awards ceremony. 42. What does the word “moniker” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. The composition of an Oscar statuette. B. The biography of a man named Oscar. C. The popularity of the Academy Awards ceremony. D. The informal name for the Academy Award of Merit. 43. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage? A. Where the ceremony is held. B. The origin of the name Oscar. C. The monetary value of an Oscar. D. How many Oscars are awarded annually. 44. According to the passage, we can learn that ________. A. Oscar is actually a real person’s name. B. The entire Oscar statuette is made of bronze. C. The winners are prohibited from selling the statuette. D. Movies have become less popular as a form of entertainment. B The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying — first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is alive, or at least interactive. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people personify everyday products. Sometimes we see things as human because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute free will and consciousness to various gadgets. In turn, feeling related to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made it up by exaggerating (夸大) their number of Facebook friends - unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends. At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents cursed (骂) at their computer- and the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely they were to report that it had “its own beliefs and desires.” When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car’s personality, people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (散热器面罩) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were like narrowed eyes sold best. Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was personified in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”), men — but not women — felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into men’s hearts. 45. People are most likely to personify things when they ________. A. spend too much time chatting online B. lack real life friends and feel isolated C. enjoy bossing around in real life D. become extremely angry with a device 46. Which of the following can probably replace the phrase cast off? A. Be fond of. B. Take hold of. C. Get rid of. D. Make use of. 47. Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A. Cars with wide faces sell better because they are considered friendlier. B. Speech-enabled coffee makers attract more male customers. C. Nice-looking products are more likely to be personified. D. People personify everyday products for different reasons. C Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles” that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions (排放), we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. According to a recent study, only 11% of carbon emissions in the food production process result from transportation, and only 4% originated from the final delivery of the product from the producer to the retailer. Other processes contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples, for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value items which we cannot produce locally, such as seafood and out-of-season berries. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labor and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles by labelling foods with stickers that show it has been imported by air. But ultimately, the message this gives is too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled. And even if we only buy local food which is currently in season, there are ethical (道德的) implications. What’s more, our diets would be more limited. 48. The author uses numbers in the second paragraph to suggest that ________. A. most high value items cannot be produced locally B. buying local food has a lower carbon footprint C. imported food contributes more to environmental damage D. transportation only plays a small part in carbon emissions 49. Which of the following is the writer most likely to support? A. Importing apples to Britain from New Zealand in spring. B. Labelling food with stickers that show it is imported. C. Transporting imported food to consumer countries by air. D. Making a long journey to buy locally produced food. 50. The underlined word negate is closest in meaning to ________. A. extend B. increase C. deny D. calculate 51. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the importance and benefits of buying locally produced food B. the reasons why buying local food does not reduce carbon emissions C. the reasons why many countries have to import food from overseas D. the environmental problems caused by food transportation IV. Complete the chart (8%) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN 10 words. Is Energy independence what we need? Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades. What is it we ant independence from, exactly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a certain amount of bio-fuel available, which is a renewable energy option, and more may become available, but the production of it can cause air pollution and ozone layer depletion (损耗). The process of producing it is also complicated and costly, which means it may cause economic waste. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports? Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels (桶) of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we gain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.

VI. Guided Writing (10%) 【上教版】 【64题答案】 【答案】Dear Student Union, I am writing to share my thoughts on the school’s plan to develop an APP exclusively for teachers and students. I envision this APP being named “CampusConnect.” It should integrate several key features such as a real-time timetable checker, an announcement board and an interactive learning platform. The timetable checker would allow us to view our schedules and those of our classmates, facilitating easier coordination. The announcement board would keep everyone updated on school events and important notices. The learning platform could host online courses, quizzes, and discussion forums, enhancing our educational experience. With “CampusConnect,” information dissemination becomes seamless, and learning transcends the traditional classroom boundaries, making education more accessible and engaging. Thank you for considering my ideas. Yours, Li Hua 【上外版】 【65题答案】 【答案】Dear Student Union, I am writing to share my thoughts on the school’s plan to introduce a new elective course in the field of literature and art. In light of this exciting opportunity I would like to propose a course titled “Classical Poetry Appreciation and Creative Writing.” This course would primarily focus on exploring the beauty and depth of classical poetry from various cultures, with a special emphasis on Chinese classical poetry. Through lectures, discussions, and interactive workshops, students would not only learn to appreciate and analyze these timeless works but also be encouraged to engage in creative writing inspired by the poetic traditions. I believe that this course would greatly enhance our literary and artistic appreciation. Thank you for considering my proposal. I look forward to seeing this course become a reality.
