Some people believe that spending quiet hours reading and thinking in a library is the best way to prepare for a debate contest. Most memory experts, however, would recommend preparing with team members. Doing so increases the rate of learning and the likelihood of remembering. When members of a debate team prepare together, they learn facts and master issues faster and more effectively than each individual could alone. Communication is essential to the ability to remember well, says a well known psychologist. He has found that isolation yourself is about the worst thing you can do if you want to remember information. In other words, when you talk with others, whether IT is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook, you are actually strengthening your memory. The human memory works like a filing system. For a filing system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information. When the members of a debate team practice by using facts in support of an argument, they're exactly gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder. Entering an actual debate when the pressure is on, they will be more easily recalled than those memorized as isolated pieces of information. Now listen again, please.

Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most ____48____ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality (自带目的性人格)” — a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also ____49____ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” have a great ____50____ over others in developing their innate abilities. Fortunately for those of us who aren’t ____51____ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be ____52____ by environmental factors. ____53____, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states. While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn boring practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some ____54____, to be able to nudge (轻推) ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal ____55____, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing. 41.

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) The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers. The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Although writing a means of expression not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting. Lastly, sometimes it takes film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers, whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us or the things we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature. 56. Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by ________. A. keeping in mind that every word should mean something B. providing a description of as many details as possible C. paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity D. choosing the perfect word to go with his/ her thought. 57. According to the passage, films help writers develop in many aspects except_______. A. studying the bodily and emotional actions B. focusing on keeping the story moving C. developing specific moments within their stories D. creating complex stories in their works 58. The word “prompt” (paragraph 3) probably means________. A. a reason to write B. a topic to start from C an excuse to put off working D. an element to attract relationship 59. Which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughts in this passage? A. Book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry. B. Directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers. C. Writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things. D. Filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves. 【答案】56. A 57. D 58. B 59. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电影制作技巧对作家自我提升的帮助。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story.(因此，每个场景都必须有一个目的。这是写小说或短篇小说时必须牢记的重要目标)”及“Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving.(电影提醒作家，虽然小说应该有一定的文学复杂性，但每一章、每一页或每一句话的结尾的目标很简单：让故事继续推进)”可知，电影提醒作家每个场景都要有目的，每个词都应该有意义，这样才能推动情节发展，即作家可以通过记住每个词都应该有意义来推动情节发展。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories.(电影提醒作家，虽然小说应该有一定的文学复杂性，但每一章、每一页或每一句话的结尾的目标很简单：让故事继续推进。电影不仅帮助作家构建情节，还帮助他们在故事中发展特定的时刻)” 可知，电影帮助作家专注于让故事推进，发展故事中的特定时刻；根据第四段“Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.(电影让作家能够研究那些让角色读起来更真实、让故事更诱人的身体和情感动作)”可知，电影帮助作家研究身体和情感动作；故文章未提及电影帮助作家在作品中创作复杂的故事。故选D。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中划线词前“Lastly, sometimes it takes film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting(最后，有时首先需要电影来引出一个故事想法”及划线词后“A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting.(一个令人愉悦的主题或美学足以激发一个角色或场景)”可推知，此处是在讨论故事的起源或灵感来源，划线处表达“不要再用非常具体或极其无趣的开始话题”，故prompt与C项a topic to start from“一个开始的话题”意思相近。故选B。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers.(然而，电影也应该因其培养更好作家的能力而受到同样的尊重)”及最后一段“As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.(随着文学不断进入电影行业，也许我们应该在文学中利用电影技术)”可知，作者认为电影有能力让作家变得更好，在文学不断进入电影行业的情况下，作家或许应该在文学创作中利用电影技巧，即电影制作技巧可以帮助书籍作家提升自己。故选D。 (B) American Airlines Date of Issue: 233 JAN10 Ping Luo: Thank you for choosing American Airlines/American Eagle, a member of the oneworldTM Alliance.

Old people’s wards are hell for old people. Geriatric wards (老年病房) are insane and in chaos. A toothless woman screaming when left alone, a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling. A woman effing and blinding — the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change. A woman who lives the same moment in repeat, dressed up for going home in a bright red, over the dressing grown, asking for the key to her house, saying over and over: “Am I going home today?” And though my mum, by the time she was released, knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees. It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror. Just as we live in a society that hasn’t caught up with technology, the kind of moral choices it gives people, we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population. We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population. Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling. There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees. The old are often displaced from their homes, moved out against their will; decisions are often made for them that they have no say over. Often, they are treated as fools or halfwits, crowded together in one place, given clothes that don’t belong to them, treated as fallen tribe, incapable of any individuality. Nobody imagined my mother was a secretary of the Scottish peace movement, a primary teacher, a lifelong socialist, a witty woman. Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said: “going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God save from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?” 63. The treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to_____. A. prove they have a lot in common B. show the terrible status of the old C. display their similarities and differences D. indicate that old people have to leave their home 64. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Refugees lead a better life than old male patients. B. Old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality. C. The author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist. D. The treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances 65. The author’s mom felt that life in the hospital________. A. made her much older B. created her a mature woman C. enabled her to look back at life D. let her full of gratitude to children 66. The passage mainly discussed________. A the life of refugees and old people B. social responsibility to old women C. improper treatment of old people D. preparing for ageing parents 【答案】63. B 64. D 65. A 66. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了老年病房对老人的不当对待及老人的糟糕处境。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror.(在我看来，虽然老年人的困境不像难民的困境那么可怕，但也同样令人恐惧)”以及第四段的“There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees.(对老年人的待遇和对难民的待遇之间存在着一些微小但尖锐的相似之处)”可推知，把老年人的待遇与难民的待遇相比较是为了显示老人的糟糕处境。故选B。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population, Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling.(我们在医学科学和技术方面取得了进步，使人们的寿命更长，但在如何对待老龄化人口方面却没有取得进步，社会正在落后于老年人，正在失败和衰落)”可推知，随着科学的进步，对待老龄化人口的措施并没有发展。故选D。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said: “going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God save from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?”(出院时，我85岁的母亲说：“在我这个年纪住院，会让你感觉老了好几岁。上帝保佑，让我远离老年病房。你从来不会觉得自己老了。你望着病房里的其他人，就会想，我也会变成那样吗？”)”可知，作者的妈妈觉得医院里的生活使她老了很多。故选A。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Old people’ s wards are hell for old people. Geriatric wards (老年病房) are insane and in chaos.(老年病房对老年人来说是地狱。老年病房疯狂而混乱)”以及第三段中“It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror.(在我看来，虽然老年人的困境不像难民的困境那么可怕，但也同样令人恐惧)”结合文章可知，本文主要讲述了老年人在社会和医院中受到的不当待遇，与难民的困境有一定的相似性，指出了社会在老龄化问题上的滞后和不足。由此可知，这篇文章主要讨论了老年人受到的不当待遇。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Went Vegetarian? People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to relieve animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle, Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ____67____ And the more who make the switch, the more those benefits would manifest on a global scale. Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s’ International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight. First, they examined climate change, Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry. ____68____ In the U. S., for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars-but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming. ____69____ Of the world’s approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change. The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. ____70____ That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock- not for humans. A. Clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. B. Despite this, how our dietary choices affect climate change is often underestimated. C. Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. D. In developed countries, vegetarianism would bring all sorts of environmental and health benefits. E. No matter how much their carnivorous(吃肉的) friends might deny it, vegetarians have a point: cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits. F. Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land, this would more than make up for the loss of meat. 【答案】67. E 68. B 69. C 70. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如果世界上的人都吃素，会发生什么呢？ 【67题详解】 根据上文“People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to make animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle.(人们成为素食者的原因有很多。有些人这样做是为了让动物受苦，另一些人是因为他们想追求更健康的生活方式。)”以及下文“And the more who make the switch, the more those perks would manifest on a global scale.(而且，转换的人越多，所获得的好处在全球范围内越明显。)”可知，本段讲述的是吃素食的好处。所以选择项E“No matter how much their carnivorous(吃肉的) friends might deny it, vegetarians have a point: cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits.(不管他们的食肉朋友们有多大的拒绝，素食者有一个观点：切断肉可以带来多种好处。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。 【68题详解】 根据上文“First, they examined climate change. Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry. (首先，他们研究了气候变化。粮食生产占全世界人类活动温室气体排放量的四分之一至三分之一，而对这些排放量最坏的责任落在畜牧业身上。)”和下文“In the US, for example, an average family of four produces more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars – but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.(例如，在美国，一个四口之家因食用肉类而产生的温室气体比开两辆车产生的温室气体还要多——但在有关全球变暖的讨论中，经常出现的是汽车，而不是牛排。)”可知，人们低估了饮食的选择对气候变化的影响。所以选择项B“Despite this, how our dietary choices affect climate change is often underestimated. (尽管如此，我们的饮食选择如何影响气候变化往往被低估。)”符合上下文语境。故选 B。 【69题详解】 根据下文“Of the world’s approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland (牧场) to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further relieve climate change. (在全球约120亿英亩的农业用地中，68%用于畜牧业。如果我们都成为素食主义者，理想情况下，我们将至少80%的牧场用于恢复草原和森林，这将捕获碳，进一步缓解气候变化。)” 可知，本段讲述的是用来养殖家禽家畜的土地占比太大,因此如果吃素食的话，那么这些土地可以恢复为绿地与森林进而可以缓解气候变化。所以C选项“Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. (食物，尤其是牲畜，也占据很大的空间。)”符合上下文语境。故选 C。 【70题详解】 根据上文“The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply.(剩下的10%到20%的以前的牧场可以用来种植更多的作物来填补粮食供应的缺口。)”以及下文“That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock-not for humans.(这是因为目前三分之一的农作物用地是专门为牲畜而非人类生产食物的。)”可知，空格后的句子讲述了原因,即当前1/3的土地种植的庄稼是给饲养的动物吃的。所以选择项F“Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land, this would more than make up for the loss of meat. (虽然农业用地的增加相对较小，但这足以弥补肉类的损失。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 IV. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Learning by Rote in the Digital Age Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning: in a mechanical way’. The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about 6 seconds? But now there are voices for a need to rote learning. In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and layering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things but without memorizing these foundation elements you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun. Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress. Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Rote learning, once deemed outdated, is now gaining attention.

The route starts from People’s Square, via East Nanjing Road, and ends at the Bund, and then return the same way. This is a great activity, while there may be some room for improvement. First, 1st May is not the best time. It is a vacation when many people will come to visit the city. Crowded and noisy, push and squeeze, all of that will prevent the tour from being a great memory. Second, the route does not cover some most glamorous parts of the city. True as it is that the Bund best symbolizes the city's inclusiveness of eastern and western culture. Lujiazui, one of the economic and financial centers in the world, should definitely on the route. To conclude, it would be much better, if the plan could avoid the vacation and upgrade the route. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生就你校学生会即将组织一次徒步活动写一封邮件提出意见。其内容包括：提出你觉得需要改进的地方和需要改进的原因。 【详解】1.词汇积累 开始：start→begin 首先：first→to begin with 很多：many→ plenty of 包括：cover→include 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Lujiazui, one of the economic and financial centers in the world, should definitely on the route. 拓展句：Lujiazui, which is one of the economic and financial centers in the world, should definitely on the route. 【点睛】【高分句型1】News came that our school will organize a shot walking tour to explore Shanghai on 1st May in the afternoon. （运用了that引导的同位语从句） 【高分句型2】 It is a vacation when many people will come to visit the city.（运用了when引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2017年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(上海卷) 英语试卷 (满分140分，考试时间120分钟) 考生注意： 答题前,务必在答题纸上填写准考证号和姓名,并将核对后的条形码贴在指定位置上,在答题纸反而清楚地填写姓名。 I.

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 professor of public health at UCLA says that pet ownership might provide a new form health care. As far back as the 1790s, the elderly at a senior citizens’ home in England ____21____ (encourage) to spend time with farm animals. This would help patients’ mental state more than the cruel therapies ____22____ (use) on the mentally ill at the time. In recent years, scientists have finally begun to find proof ____23____ contact with animals can increase a sick person’s chance of survival and has been shown ____24____ (lower) heart rate, calm upset children, and get people to start a conversation. Scientists think that animals companionship is beneficial ____25____ animals are accepting and attentive, and they don’t criticize or give orders. Animals have the unique ability to be more social. For example, visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions. Not only do people seem ____26____ (anxious) when animals are nearby, but they may also live longer. Studies show that a year ____27____ heart surgery, survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets in their homes than those without pets. Elder people with pets make fewer trips to doctors than those without animal companions, possibly because animals relieve loneliness. Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind, ____28____ (result) in a favorable environment for everyone. Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children. They are more easy-going when there are animals around, with ____29____ company they tend to calm down more easily. They involve ____30____ in playing with animals and the presence of animals conforms them greatly. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. suspected B. Fortunately C. invasions D. inevitable E. accustomed F. unreliable G. features H. acknowledged I. inclusion J. transferred K. Instantly The iPhone X, Apple’s new smartphone, is equipped with facial recognition. ____31____ its scanner can unlock the system. It requires no buttons to be pressed, being always ready to read your face. Android users can expect similar ____32____ as well. For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email, send a text or make call, it will be quick, easy and pretty “cool” to use. However, as we grow ____33____ to the technology, we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it. Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk (乱穿马路). In the United State, more than half of all adults are in facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Governments, however, are not the only users of facial recognition. Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify ____34____ Shoplifters. One social media app in Russia allows strangers to find out who you are just by taking a photo of you. However, different users of facial recognition produce different levels of accuracy. Camera distance, lighting, facial pose all affect the accuracy. Officials at the New York Police Department, for example, have ____35____ at least five misidentifications by their facial recognition system. If the iPhone’s new system is similarly ____36____ no one will consider it to be acceptable security for our personal information. ____37____ it probably won’t be. But for many of the systems elsewhere, mistakes and ____38____ of privacy might be unavoidable. As the smartphone of choice for many users, the iPhone’s ____39____ of facial recognition may encourage consumers to accept the technology elsewhere. However, even as we choose to we explore the convenience facial recognition might offer we should also be suspicious of the many ways it can’t be used. Facial recognition may well be ____40____. Its risks need not be! 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. Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love”. But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, ____41____ a huge amount of dull work. Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, ____42____ feedback, modification, and increasing improvement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be ____43____ or boring. Why? The difference may turn on the ability to enter into state of “follow,” the feeling of being completely ____44____ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the ____45____ of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) ____46____ skill level, and where the individual is able to ____47____ their performance to clear, and immediate feedback. Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most ____48____ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality (自带目的性人格)” — a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also ____49____ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” have a great ____50____ over others in developing their innate abilities. Fortunately for those of us who aren’t ____51____ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be ____52____ by environmental factors. ____53____, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states. While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn boring practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some ____54____, to be able to nudge (轻推) ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal ____55____, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing. 41. A. inquires B. requires C. acquires D. gains 42. A. preventable B. maintainable C. sustainable D. critical 43. A. frustrating B. encouraging C. concerning D. instructing 44.

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) The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers. The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Although writing a means of expression not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting. Lastly, sometimes it takes film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers, whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us or the things we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature. 56. Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by ________. A. keeping in mind that every word should mean something B. providing a description of as many details as possible C. paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity D. choosing the perfect word to go with his/ her thought. 57. According to the passage, films help writers develop in many aspects except_______. A. studying the bodily and emotional actions B. focusing on keeping the story moving C. developing specific moments within their stories D. creating complex stories in their works 58. The word “prompt” (paragraph 3) probably means________. A. a reason to write B. a topic to start from C. an excuse to put off working D. an element to attract relationship 59. Which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughts in this passage? A Book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry. B. Directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers. C. Writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things. D. Filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves.

Old people’s wards are hell for old people. Geriatric wards (老年病房) are insane and in chaos. A toothless woman screaming when left alone, a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling. A woman effing and blinding — the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change. A woman who lives the same moment in repeat, dressed up for going home in a bright red, over the dressing grown, asking for the key to her house, saying over and over: “Am I going home today?” And though my mum, by the time she was released, knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees. It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror. Just as we live in a society that hasn’t caught up with technology, the kind of moral choices it gives people, we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population. We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population. Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling. There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees. The old are often displaced from their homes, moved out against their will; decisions are often made for them that they have no say over. Often, they are treated as fools or halfwits, crowded together in one place, given clothes that don’t belong to them, treated as fallen tribe, incapable of any individuality. Nobody imagined my mother was a secretary of the Scottish peace movement, a primary teacher, a lifelong socialist, a witty woman. Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said: “going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God save from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?” 63. The treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to_____. A. prove they have a lot in common B. show the terrible status of the old C. display their similarities and differences D. indicate that old people have to leave their home 64. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Refugees lead a better life than old male patients. B. Old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality. C. The author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist. D. The treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances 65. The author’s mom felt that life in the hospital________. A. made her much older B. created her a mature woman C. enabled her to look back at life D. let her full of gratitude to children 66. The passage mainly discussed________. A. the life of refugees and old people B. social responsibility to old women C. improper treatment of old people D. preparing for ageing parents Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What Would Happen If the World Suddenly Went Vegetarian? People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to relieve animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle, Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ____67____ And the more who make the switch, the more those benefits would manifest on a global scale. Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s’ International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight. First, they examined climate change, Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry. ____68____ In the U. S., for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars-but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming. ____69____ Of the world’s approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change. The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. ____70____ That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock- not for humans. A. Clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. B. Despite this, how our dietary choices affect climate change is often underestimated. C. Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. D. In developed countries, vegetarianism would bring all sorts of environmental and health benefits. E. No matter how much their carnivorous(吃肉的) friends might deny it, vegetarians have a point: cutting out meat delivers multiple benefits. F. Though a relatively small increase in agricultural land, this would more than make up for the loss of meat. IV. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Learning by Rote in the Digital Age Rote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning: in a mechanical way’. The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about 6 seconds? But now there are voices for a need to rote learning. In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and layering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things but without memorizing these foundation elements you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject. While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun. Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress. Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
