An 81-year-old Japanese woman, Shigeko Sasamori, lives through the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, Japan. That happened in the closing days of World War II. She recalled her experiences as a guest speaker at a high school in New York City on Monday and promoted her passage of peace. “If you have not started yet, be aware, become more aware of what unclear means and we should eliminate nuclear weapons and nuclear wars”, she said to the students in the packed auditorium. After the bombing, she was badly burned and eventually she went through 35 operations. She was adopted by an American family and now lives in California. “As long as I live, I will speak all over the world to many people because I feel we went through such horrible life, we should not have anyone go through experiences like we did”, she said. She also added that the world is dangerous because of the existence of nuclear weapons. Among the audience was Clifton Truman. He is the grandson of the U.S. president, Harry Truman, who ordered the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Clifton Truman is visiting schools in the area. He said that it was important to hear the survivors’ firsthand story. Students are also inspired to spread the survivor’s message. A 15-year-old student, whose name is Jade Pollard, said, “It was shocking to hear her firsthand story, but I really know now people like Shigeko Sasamori are really working for a cause to stop something that is dangerous to the world.” (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 11. Where does the 81-year-old Japan woman, Shigeko Sasamori, live now? 12. Why did she visit a high school on Monday? 13. What was the reaction to her speech from the audience? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Welcome to “Writer’s World”. Text messaging is becoming increasingly popular all around the world. It means sending a message anywhere in the world from a mobile phone. We use a special sort of shortened language for this. It’s a bit like an email in some ways, but it has lots of advantages over that. For example, speed. You can communicate instantly with someone and it needn’t make any sound or disturbance. It’s also an easy way of keeping in touch, perhaps even with people you normally wouldn’t have telephoned or written to because of shortage of time or of cash. It’s very quick to do and doesn’t cost much. Today we focus on Text Message Portry Copetition. This competition was started last year by some people in London and it is held once a year. Competition entries are invited from people to send poems by text message. The poems can use no more than 160 characters, you know, letters or words or punctuation marks. Some of the best poems can say a lot in very little space. And that is the whole art of text messaging, isn’t it? And texting means you can be really brief! For example, instead of writing Y-O-U, we out just the letter “u”. Last year about 7,500 entered the competition. They composed their poems on the train, in traffic jams, on boats, on buses, anywhere, in fact. The second competition is just being started. There are really good cash prizes for winners, plus the chance to see your poem displayed on posters on 7,000 London buses and in the underground stations. For those who want to enter, just text your poem to 88801111 and you can find more information about it on the internet at www.textpoetry.com. It’s great fun and you’ve nothing to lose. Good luck! (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 14. What are the advantages of text messaging? 15. Which of the following is NOT true about a Text Message Poetry Competition winner?16. How can one enter Text Message Poetry Competition? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: So Cindy, how are you going to study for the final？ W: Me? I’m going to use my notes mostly, I guess. M: You mean you aren’t going to read the book? W: I’m not going to spend much time reviewing the book. You know, there were hardly any questions from the book on the last test at all. M: Well, you were right about that. Maybe your notes are more detailed… are, uh, are… better than mine. W: I don’t know about that, but I do try to write down everything I can in class. Then I rewrite them. M: You rewrite all of your notes? W: Yeah, it’s part of my study plan. And I find that I remember better when I write something down. M: That must take a lot of time. W: But when I ready to study for the final, I can have everything in one place. Come to think of it… I think, actually it probably saves me time. M: Okay, that sure makes sense. Do you underline anything in reading the book? W: No, it’s not how I … not the way I’m using the book. I’m just getting some general background information so I can be a better listener in class. M: What was… how did you do… on the midterm… using that way, I mean? W: I got an A. M: Okay, I got a B. And I study a lot for it. Maybe I’m going to try your way this time. (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 17. What are the two speakers mainly talking about? 18. Who is the woman in this conversation? 19.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary (20%) Section A (10%) ADDIS ABABA,Ethiopia — At 19,Yohannes Gebregeorgis borrowed a novel entitled Love Kitten that changed his life forever.Born in rural Ethiopia,his father was an illiterate cattle merchant who insisted that his son (21) (receive) an education.So Gebregeorgis had read a few books in school.But (22) (have) a book of his own sparked a lifelong commitment.Shanghai DATONG High School Today,Gebregeorgis is establishing libraries and literacy programs to connect Ethiopian children with books.“Most Ethiopian children only have access to textbooks in the classroom,” says Gebregeorgis. “Books (22) children read outside of school are the spices of education.” Until he became a children’s librarian,he didn’t realize (24) the children of his native home were missing.Arriving in the United States in 1981,Gebregeorgis ultimately put himself through college,(25) (obtain) a graduate degree in library science.He took a position at the San Francisco Children’s Library in 1985.There,he met The Little Engine That Could,Captain Ahab,and Peter Pan.He realized the impact children’s books could make (26) a child’s sense of wonder and vision.“Children could imagine everything from books—connections to other cultures,to other people,to other children,and to the universe at large.Reading gives them hope.It gives them pleasure.It gives them everything that they cannot otherwise get in regular textbooks.” But Gebregeorgis found that there were no children’s books in Amharic,the primary language of Ethiopia,and none representing the places and characters of Ethiopian lore.(27) the library granted $1,200 for the purchase of Ethiopian books,Gebregeorgis was unable to find any,so he wrote one. Silly Mamma was the first bilingual Amharic-English children’s book,and its publication led Gebregeorgis (28) (establish) the nonprofit organization Ethiopia Reads in 1988.Using proceeds from book sales,the nonprofit organization (29) (finance) his efforts to bring children’s libraries to Ethiopia. Gebregeorgis reads storybooks to children who (30) (deny) access to television or computers and believes that literacy and education will emancipate his impoverished land.“With literate children there is no limit as to how much we can do.” Section B (1* 10= 10%) Directions: A.limited B.fascination C.governed D.imposing 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 E.defensive F.originally G.overlooking H.rebellion I.reminder J.randomly K.swept Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor,but they offer little protection against attacks.It is easy to defend a castle,but castles are not designed with the comfort of a king or queen in mind.When it comes to structures that are both 31 and well-secured,the classic European castle is the pinnacle (小尖 顶) of design.Across the ages castles changed,developed,and eventually fell out of use,but they still command the 32 of our culture. Castles were 33 built in England by the Norman invaders in 1066.As William the Conqueror 34 through England,he strengthened key positions to secure the land they had taken.The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to retreat to safety when threatened by English 35 Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks.Troops were gathered to,organized around,and positioned from castles.In this way castles served both offensive and 36 roles in military operations. Not 37 to military purposes,castles also served as offices from which the lord would administer control over his land.That is to say,the lord of the land would hold court in his castle.Those who were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of the lands that they 38 and pay tributes to the lord.They would address disputes,handle business,feast,and enjoy festivities.In this way castles serve as important social centers in medieval England. Castles also served as symbols of power.Built on prominent sites 39 the surrounding areas, castles constantly loomed(隐约的出现) in the background of many peasants' lives and served as a daily 40 of the lord’s strength. III.Reading Comprehension (45%) Section A (15%) Directions: Racket, din, clamor, noise, whatever you want to call it,unwanted sound is America's most widespread nuisance.But noise is more than just a nuisance.It constitutes a real and present danger to people’s health. Day and night,at home,at work,and at play,noise can produce serious physical and psychological (41) .No one is immune to this stress.Though we seem to adjust to noise by (42) ______ it,the ear,in fact,never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme (43) ,as to strange sound in the night. The (44) we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward (45) of the stress building up inside us.Indeed,because irritability (易怒，烦躁) is so apparent,legislators(立法者) have made public annoyance the (46) of many noise reduction programs.The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise (47) have been given much less attention.(48) ,when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise,we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us,some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many health hazards of noise,hearing loss is the most clearly observable and (49) by health professionals.The other hazards are harder to pin down.For many of us,there may be a risk that excessive (50) to the stress of noise increases vulnerability to disease and infection.The more vulnerable among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases.Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body. Noise affects us throughout our lives.For example,there are (51) of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise.During infancy and childhood,youngsters affected by high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and (52) necessary amounts of rest. Why,then,is there not greater (53) about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or disease has not yet been (54) demonstrated.Perhaps it is because we tend to (55) annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world.It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard. Section B (22%) Directions: (A) Le Corbusier had drawn up his Parisian scheme at a moment of unequalled urban crisis.Across the developing world,cities were exploding in size.In 1800 the French capital was home to 647,000 people. By 1910 three million were squeezed within its inadequate confines.In apartment buildings,several families typically shared a single room.In 1900,in the poor districts of Paris,one toilet generally served 70 residents.A cold-water tap was a luxury.Factories and workshops were sited in the middle of residential areas.Streets were choked by traffic day and night. Le Corbusier was horrified by such conditions.“All cities have fallen into a mess,” he remarked,“The world is sick.” Given the scale of the crisis,measures were in order,and the architect was in no mood to feel sentimental about their side effects.“The existing centres must come down,” he said,“To save itself every great city must rebuild its centre.” In order to alleviate overcrowding,the ancient low-rise buildings would have to be replaced by a new kind of structure only recently made possible by advances in concrete technology: the skyscraper.“2,700 people will use one front door,” marveled Le Corbusier. By building upwards,two problems would be resolved at a stroke --- overcrowding and urban sprawl. With room enough for everyone in towers,there would be no need to spread outwards and absorb the countryside in the process.There would be enough green space as well,as up to 50 per cent of urban land would be devoted to parks.The new city would itself be a vast park,with large towers dotted among the trees.On the roofs of the apartment blocks,there would be games of tennis,and sunbathing on the shores of artificial beaches. Meanwhile,Le Corbusier planned to transform the city street system.He recommended that the two be separated.In the new city,people would have footpaths all to themselves,winding through woods and forests (no pedestrian will ever meet an automobile,ever!),while cars would enjoy massive and dedicated motorways,with smooth,curving interchanges,thus guaranteeing that no driver would ever have to slow down for the sake of a pedestrian. The division of cars and people was but one element in Le Corbusier’s plan for a reorganization of life in the new city.There would no longer be factories,for example,in the middle of residential areas.The new 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 city would be an arena of green space,clean air,adequate accommodation and flowers. 56.What did Le Corbusier think of the Paris which he lived in? A.It was turning on a new look. B.It was in completely disorder. C.It was developing very slowly. D.It was in a severe financial crisis. 57.The word “alleviate” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to . A.cause B.relieve C.worsen D.understand 58.According to Le Corbusier’s scheme,what would happen in Paris? A.There would be more room for pedestrians than vehicles. B.More people would choose to live in suburban areas. C.Enough space would be spared for sports in parks. D.Areas of different functions wouldn’t be mixed. 59.What is the passage mainly about? A.The original form and the malfunction of Paris. B.Some historical facts and future prospects of Paris. C.An architect’s plan to rebuild the central part of Paris. D.What people suffered from in the crowded city of Paris. (B) Beijing is hardly alone in its air pollution problems.The world Health Organization has said that roughly half of the world’s urban population is exposed to pollution at least 2.5 times higher than it recommends. While it may take years to fix this global problem,innovative minds in the Asia region have come up with creative solutions for living with air pollution. l DIY Purifier Thomas Talhelm started worrying about the air inside his Beijing home during “airpocalypse(空气末日)” in 2013 when Beijing’s air quality index skyrocketed to a terrifying 755. The scholar couldn’t afford the luxury of an expensive air purifier.“Filters(过滤器) are actually very simple — a high efficient filter is all you need to get over 96% of the PM2.5,” he said. With three of his friends,Talhelm created SmartAir,an air purifier consisting of a basic household fan with a high efficient filter attached to it. It works as efficiently as the big brands selling for thousands of dollars,removing more than 90 percent of PM 2.5 in your room,according to Talhelm’s research. l Invisible Mask Infipure’s “nose mask”claims to cut 99% of PM2.5 without the trouble of a surgical face mask. The filters,made from special materials, are inserted into your nose and aim to be undetectable. 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 “People care about their health,but don’t want all the downsides that come with a traditional face mask.” Infipure co-founder Francis Law explained. l Plant Backpack Taiwanese artist Chui Chih has designed a survival device for an apocalyptic world. Named Voyage onthe Planet,a potted plant is housed inside a clear backpack hooked up to two tubes to bring fresh to a face mask.It’s a bold,abstract idea from an oxygen tank. l Smog Vacuum上海市大同中学 Daan Roosegaarde has been working on a smog vacuum that will suck pollutants from the sky to the ground like a vacuum,making way for clean air. A byproduct of this smog vacuum,namely The Smog Free Tower,is the “smog ring” — a piece of jewelry made from smog particulates(微粒). “The pollution we suck up,the small particulates,we don’t throw them away.We put them under pressure for a couple of weeks and they crystallize,creating something like a diamond,” Roosegaardc explains. 60.Thomas Talhelm invented Smart Air for all the following reasons except . A.the high price of the big brands B.the help from three of his friends C.the poor quality of the indoor air D.the simple principle behind the device 61.If someone wants to travel around in those polluted days,which product will he most probably choose for the sake of convenience? A.Smart Air. B.Infipure’s nose mask. C.Voyage on the Planet. D.The Smog Free Tower. 62.In which solution the inventor also makes use of the dust collected from the polluted air? A.DIY Purifier. B.Invisible Mask. C.Plant Backpack. D.Smog Vacuum. (C) This website is designed to explore how the experience,diagnosis and treatment of illness has changed over time,and to show some of the many ways illness has been understood by humans.It is our hope that you will leave the site with a broader appreciation of the relationship of medicine to culture,and an understanding that our own medical practices look different when seen in a historical context. In exploring this site,we ask you to think of this fundamental idea: that illness,the feeling and experience of being sick,is itself a historical object.Illness and medicine are not static phenomena. 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Different people in different time periods can experience,understand and treat similar groups of symptoms very differently.Cycles of fevers and chills may be identified as being a particular disease,part of a general pattern of seasonal health or an internal struggle of opposing yet complementary forces.These are more than just descriptions; they influence the actual experience of having illness,and strongly influence the treatment.A body that is out of balance feels pain in manner that is subjectively different from a body fighting a battle against an external attacker.We believe that illness changes over time.Thus,to fully understand illness,we need not just biological explanation,but also historical explanation.We need both medicine and the history of illness. Related to this idea is a second.This is the concept that illness,and the medical responses to illness, are related to cultural worldviews.How we see the world structures how we experience and shape the world we live in.What makes particular responses seem reasonable emerges from specific cultural values. The judgements about what medical practices are effective and sensible are value judgements made in the context of broader cultural beliefs about how the world works,our place in that world,and what is morally good and bad.Our aim is to help you understand why blood-letting for instance,now considered unacceptable,was a sensible healing activity in the early 19th century. Finally,it is easy to read the history of medicine as one of constant progression leading from barbaric roots to a scientific approaches embodied in current medical practice.We believe that this understanding is problematic.First,a lack of knowledge that we have today did not mean that medicine in other time periods and cultures was wrong.Based on cultural values and contemporary knowledge,other cultures developed advanced treatments that were effective and sensible for their people,although they may be considered barbaric nowadays.Similarly in a century or two,our own medical practices may seem backward and nonsensical,it is not the case that former practices have led simplistically to our own superior knowledge. 63.According to the first paragraph,the website is intended to show that . A.many illnesses were wrongly diagnosed in the past B.we have unrealistic expectations of medical practice C.medicine should be examined in connection with culture D.changes in living conditions have led to the development of new illnesses 64.The writer refers to fevers and chills (paragraph 2) to illustrate . A.we need more accurate biological explanations of illnesses B.how an illness is interpreted affects how it is experienced C.our bodies are constantly under attack from illnesses D.illnesses are influenced by climate and environment 65.What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A.In certain cultures,the factual basis of illnesses is not recognized B.We judge past medical practices by inappropriate principles. C.Illness can influence our perception of the world. D.Medical practices have improved over time. 66.In the last paragraph,what assumption is criticized? A.There are considerable differences between cultures. B.Illnesses are better understood today than in the past. C.Current medical practices will be seen differently in the future. D.Little research is being carried out into the treatment of some diseases. Section C (8%)Directions: Read 上海市大同中学 A.Uniform has to be seen as something that is earned. B.School uniform is also a great tool to prevent bullying. C.Some students complain that school uniform is monotonous (千篇一律的). 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D.In my experience,uniform helps schools maintain authority. E.However,a school should not rely heavily on uniform regulation. F.Learning to fit in is one of the things being at school that teaches our children. To Wear or Not to Wear After a strict head teacher in the U.K.sent 80 students home for uniform violations,the Guardian held a discussion about whether wearing school uniforms makes a difference. School uniform is very important.It does improve my concentration,because it reminds me that I’m at school to learn.But I’m not sure if that’s because I’m used to wearing uniform and associate my own clothes with free time.67 If everyone is wearing the same clothes,it’s impossible to make fun of other people’s clothing.I don’t think this ignores a child’s need to express themselves. --- DavidHershman,a studentatStafordgrammar school 68 Students should start school with no uniform.As they progress through the school,they start wearing it.I always think children need to be proud of their school,and uniform is important for that. So,make them earn it! If they let the school down,they shouldn’t be allowed to wear it.Look at the Marines(海军陆战队) they can’t wait to get that beret(贝雷帽). --- Tim Francis,aformerteacher I have had experience of teaching in both uniform and non-uniform schools.I can definitely see the benefits of students wearing uniform.Uniform can be important in creating a sense of school identity and community.It is often a source of collective pride for students.69 Teaching students how to express themselves with confidence,rather than the length of their tie,should be the priority. --- EnayahByramjee,an educationaldevelopmentdirector In a perfect world,school uniform would not exist.Children would express their personalities through their clothes at school,just as they do at home.School wouldn’t impress on pupils the need to wear skirts to a certain length.We don’t live in a perfect world,however.70 My house is often filled with uniform-wearing girls.The best thing about uniform,for me as a parent, is the simplicity. --- Joanna Moorhead,a mother offour IV.Translation (3+3+4+5) Directions: 71.先进的人工智能工具让我们公司在市场分析上比竞争对手更有优势。(advantage) 72.她太专心看小说了，以至于没有意识到是时候去幼儿园接女儿上海市大同中学了。(absorb) 73.我们没有其他选择只有认真工作，以确保所有的病人都会得到高质量的护理。(ensure) 74.希望双方早日达成共识，停止冲突，以免经济衰退，生灵涂炭。上海市大同中学(agreement) 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$Section a directions.
