One way to stick to them is long-term persuasion. Other approaches include a change of routine or context to which a new habit can be pinned, making a specific plan for how you will keep the resolution, and figuring out what obstacles have been standing in your way. IV. Translation 52. This plan will help us save a lot of time and money. 53. He is not only an excellent teacher but also a famous writer. 54.

Recent years have seen great advances in technology, which has in turn brought about changes in our life. And in my opinion, technology has indeed made our lives happier in numerous ways. Firstly, technological advancements have greatly improved communication. We can now connect with friends and family around the world through video calls and instant messaging, fostering a sense of togetherness despite physical distance. Secondly, technology has enhanced our convenience and efficiency. Tasks that used to take hours can now be completed within minutes or even seconds. From online shopping and banking to smart home devices, technology has simplified our daily routines and allowed us to spare more time for leisure and personal growth. Moreover, technology has revolutionized the field of healthcare, leading to better medical treatments and improved quality of life. Advanced medical devices, tele-medicine, and AI-driven diagnostics have significantly enhanced patient care and outcomes, increasing the overall well-being of individuals. Technology has undoubtedly brought happiness and convenience to our lives, but we need to remember that we must embrace technology responsibly. And only in this way can we harness its full potential to enhance our lives and create a happier and healthier future. 第 1 页 / 共 1 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 复旦大学附属中学2025学年第二学期 高二年级英语学科5月第二次阶段性教学质量评估试卷 I. Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Don't Wait a Year to Make Resolutions I was a heavy drinker before I gave it up. So I made a resolution. I looked in the mirror and said to myself: "It's early evening. Drink whatever you want now, but it all ends at 11:59. We start anew tomorrow." I am a big believer in the fresh start, which is 1         many of us look to on New Year's. But I think New Year's resolutions are pointless. We depend so much on them, and if we slip on Jan. 12, we give them up. Better luck next year. Thus I 2          (have) my last drink not on Dec. 21 but on a random Saturday in the spring three years ago. Random Saturdays are opportunities, though we don't tend 3          (look) at them that way. We feel as if we must have everything in order in our lives, with desk 4          (clear) of waste papers, and pencils all sharpened and in a row, before we start writing the story. But that's not how stories are composed or anything gets done. They 5          (create) in the small starts that link part to part until you have a road and you are walking down it. There are all kinds of ways to get off to a mini-start 6         can lead to a big end. I like to use a fresh week. Because I'm competitive and it helps motivate me, I play what I call the Week Game. On Saturday, as the week ends and 7         is about to begin, I look back on what I did over seven days. I wrote this many stories, published this many pieces, talked on the radio this many times, and ran this many miles. I'm awfully good at the Week Game now, and I take pride 8         it. For the people who wish to hold me back, I can say, "my week is your career," and my numbers - because I start it over and over - bear it out. It gives me more energy and purpose when life is very hard. It stops me 9          (give) up. We feel extremely let down if we can't get on well with New Year's resolutions. Then you're supposed to wait a year! That's not going to help you, 10         you want to drink less or read more books. A series of constant fresh starts adds up to a life well-lived. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. genuine B. hits C. instructions D. opposed E. reports F. republished G. spread H. suggesting I. threat J. typical K. unavailable The last "uncontacted" tribe (部落)? In 2008, in order to draw attention to illegal logging on the Brazil-Peru border, the Brazilian department for indigenous groups affairs (Funai) released photos of an "uncontacted" Amazonian tribe. Funai said that the tribe was under 11         because of the logging. At the time some people asked if the tribe was truly "uncontacted." The NGO Survival International said that they were confident that the photos were 12         . The Survival International spokesman, David Hill, explained that his organization wasn't 13         that the tribe had never had any contact with the outside world, but that they now lived without it. Nevertheless, the Peruvian government suggested that the story was no more than a strategy by groups 14         to development of the area's resources. Fast forward two years, by which time about 50 percent of the Peruvian Amazon had been contracted to oil and gas developers. The photos were 15         to coincide with previously unseen footage of the tribe shown in a BBC documentary. This time, the images were viral. Survival International said the images had 16         across the world within minutes. Their websites had over a million 17         in three days. The images led to a worldwide reaction online. A(n) 18         post asked why nobody had done anything to save these tribes. Three days later, the Peruvian government announced that they would work with the Brazilian authorities to stop illegal logging in the area. The contractors in the area were 19         for comment. But as a Funai spokesperson said later, one image had had more impact than one thousand 20         . II. 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. 'Journalism' came into existence when reliable information was scarce. As newspaper publishing and distribution grew, editors had to satisfy demands for 21          as well as entertainment. The effort to be trusted came to be the distinguishing mark of journalism. But printing technology made journalism powerful: a few people gathered sorted and 22          news and hoped that many people would buy it. However, three changes turned this 23          of public information into today's glut (过剩): the invention of radio and television, digital technology such as email, and finally the Internet. Digital communications not only increased the amount of easily-reached information but 24          the power of traditional publishing. Anyone can now publish their thoughts and their books for free to a global audience. Old fashioned print publishing by the few to the many sits 25          next to successful 'peer-to-peer' networks. Against this background, citizen journalism' can simply mean a wider range of 26         . Big events that leave media organisations rushing to get to the right spots are now covered by 27          witnesses who send instant photos and videos from their mobile phones. Where established reporters fear to go--war zones being the obvious 28          -the voice of the ordinary citizen journalist may be the only believable news source. But if it is the case that anyone can be a journalist, what is journalism? Whatever the era and technology, it must surely involve an organised attempt to show what is happening, to reduce or eliminate 29          about what is true. Journalists still gather the basic news, but must also meet the need to give it meaning and context. We analyse news in the context of instant global conversations that can involve a handful of people or millions. The forces of change may bring down media empires that fail to adapt, but they do not 30          the idea of journalism. The need to know the accuracy of what they are reading or watching does not 31          because you have a lot of new ways of finding facts and other points of view. The nature of the news and opinion people now consume is changing: more varied, less 32         ,often like an everyday conversation. Also the way people sample and use news and opinion is changing: they dip in and out of news all day. But the business of getting accurate basic data to consumers, of building platforms that people 33          remains valuable work despite the changing background. Some 'citizen journalists make a real contribution to this; some don't. In other words, we're back where we started: 34          accuracy and honesty. The most important question 35          of news and opinion will ask themselves is the question they have always asked: do I trust this source to tell me something true and useful? 21. A. shock B. timeliness C. accuracy D. openness 22. A. edited B. distributed C. invented D. hid 23. A. conveyance B. shortage C. management D. supply 24. A. ignored B. enhanced C. applied D. weakened 25. A. uneasily B. unexpectedly C. confidently D. surprisingly 26. A. events B. readers C. sources D. facilities 27. A. volunteer B. amateur C. professional D. subjective 28. A. area B. factor C. effect D. example 29. A. doubt B. curiosity C. remarks D. statements 30. A. construct B. destroy C. communicate D. protect 31. A. arise B. disapprove C. disappear D. remain 32. A. shameful B. exciting C. noteworthy D. formal 33. A. trust B. introduce C. remove D. design 34. A. keeping pace with B. taking advantage of C. making judgements about D. losing control of 35. A. reporters B. consumers C. gatherers D. editors Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） Of all the creatures to be found in the jungles and plains of East Africa, two of the hardest to track down must surely be producer Amanda Barrett and cameraman Owen Newman. Their present habitat, the Ngorongoro Crater, has been raining for almost six months, giving rise to a number of unforeseen problems. Newman explained that they had to invest in an expensive piece of equipment so that whenever one of their vehicles gets stuck in the mud, Amanda can pull him back to safety. His working partnership with the talented producer has created some of TV's finest wildlife films, such as their amazing and well-received film on leopards (豹). Even while this film of one of Africa's shyest cats was being shown, the pair were already back where they belong this time tracking that equally shy animal, the jackal. But this is nothing unusual in television partnerships. Travelling filmmakers have been constantly circling the globe, in order to point cameras at wildlife ever since the birth of television. I spoke to Newman about their partnership while he was making one of his rare and unpredictable reunions with other members of the human race at a wildlife zoo. 'We do have occasional arguments but we tend to get over them fairly quickly,' he says of his colleague. Neither of them regard themselves as the leader, and he says that one of the reasons why they get on so well with each other is that they both see the animals in a similar way. 'When we are on the move, we have to put up our tents each night. But this time we are operating much more of a fixed camp, and as we set out at 5 a.m. each morning, we tend to make the tea the night before and keep it warm in a vacuum flask (保温杯).' The rest of the Newman-Barrett daily diet consists of prepacked meals heated and dished out by whoever is at hand at the time. 'It's not unusual for us to be out and about for up to eight weeks at a time, so catering does cause the odd panic,' says Newman. It can be a rough existence, but the appeal of being alone in such remote areas is that we can get close enough to the animals to become part of their lives. 'I remember once we were filming a family of lions and there was lioness who would regularly go off on her own. Whenever she returned, she would go round and greet all the other members of the pride, and after a while she made a point of greeting our car as part of her round.' 36. What does the writer imply about Amanda Barrett and Owen Newman in the first paragraph? A. They are hard to get along with. B. They are always moving about. C. They like living in East Africa. D. They love studying creatures. 37. Why do Barrett and Newman get along with each other very well? A. They dislike dealing with human beings. B. They seldom have any arguments at work. C. They let one of them have the final say. D. They hold the same opinion of animals. 38. It can be concluded from the passage that Barrett and Newman are A. enthusiastic travellers B. rainforest protectors C. wildlife researchers D. film makers 39. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. No one else works with Barrett and Newman. B. No hot tea is available to Barrett and Newman. C. Barrett and Newman care more about shy animals. D. Barrett and Newman find food and make meals every day. （B） This week's problem If I do not get into a university like Oxbridge, what can I do to level up my career playing field? —Mary, 20s Jonathan's answer There is a traditional view that a degree from top universities can in itself place you on the highest career path. If your career playing field is assessed purely by salary, then the data support this view: figures for 2016-17 from the UK's education department reveal that Oxford and Cambridge graduates have the highest median incomes of all employed graduates, five years after leaving university. In any event, it is not just university choice that affects your career outcome. In Lauren Rivera's 2015 book, Pedigree: How Elite Students Get Elite Jobs, she reported on Wall Street firms' recruiting practices and showed that unspoken biases apply to select people with a similar cultural fit. One of Professor Rivera's findings was that on Wall Street, male applicants from upper-middle-class backgrounds with an interest in team sports did particularly well. Some employers are levelling the playing field, actively seeking graduates from other well-known institutions, to increase diversity and perhaps because the undergraduate courses at these institutions offer candidates advantages, including vocational elements. Other recruiters are trying out "background blind" admissions, removing from applications references to schools or universities. While there may be peer or family pressure to study at certain institutions, your long-term career success depends on more than the brand name, including what you can demonstrate in terms of technical and employability skills. Research all leading universities to decide which course would suit you best, including the content, style and intensity of teaching, and examination methods. You may also consider which institution would provide the best extracurricular opportunities. Even if Oxbridge doors close for you, other doors will open: employers will be impressed by what you do with the opportunities you actually had, not what might have been. 40. The word "biases" (in paragraph 2 in Jonathan's Answer) most probably means ______. A. common recruiting practices B. unexpected career outcomes C. tendencies to prefer someone D. emphases on culture awareness 41. Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 in Jonathan's Answer are intended to illustrate that ______. A. one's career outcome is affected by more factors than his university choice B. it is better to apply to the companies that care less about educational backgrounds C. well-known institutions prefer university graduates with proper vocational training D. job applicants must provide potential employers with references to universities 42. What advice does Jonathan give Mary? A. Don't take salary too seriously. B. Find a university that fits you best. C. Choose a vocation-oriented college. D. Don't think too much about the future. （C） Urban settings, far from being ecological wastelands, are full of biological activity. Cities have been described as essential to climate change solutions, but they can also raise the kinds of ecologists that will bring us into a more inclusive biological future, I am a wildlife biologist from Philadelphia. In the U.S., ecology was and is predominantly conducted in rural landscapes. I stood out among my peers for not having a history of camping, fishing, hunting or hiking. I had yet to recognize that Philadelphia, with its four seasons and the large population of squirrels (松鼠), row homes and festivals, was actually my first ecological classroom. There I witnessed feral cats eating birds and rats, people driving bats away from their homes and snakes being killed by lawn owners. This is as much ecology in action as anything we witness in fields and forests. Urban wild animals exhibit various features and behaviors that set them apart from rural ones: they may be bigger, eat more diverse food sources, are active at different times of the day, move differently and have different personalities. Some biologists argue they are even "smarter." Urban wildlife balances more risks - such as exposure to roads, chemicals and diseases from domestic animals - with rewards. Some of those rewards come from humans providing food and from the distribution of our parks and water bodies. Others, particularly for carnivores (食肉动物), are natural resources such as rodents (啮齿动物). This relationship, coupled landscape where nature meets people, can also dramatically influence human societies. Our interactions with nature are common. Urbanites' intuition is sharpened by risks - we know a dangerous street, and we lock our doors. Our ability to assess threats and our awareness regarding safety influence our behaviors and choices, much as they do for urban wildlife. This interplay affords us an understanding through proximity. In our professional lives as biologists, our exposure to diverse communities in cities initiates cultural sensitivities that help to promote inclusivity. When you experience the scarcity of resources in a crowded city, you understand resource distribution at a deeply personal level. We bear witness to evolution and the wealth of nature's innovation through flowers coming out through concrete and birds eating dead bird bodies on highways. Such heterogeneity (不均质性) in cities plants unconscious seeds of appreciation for diversity, tolerance and empathy that can benefit the natural world. By training more biologists from urban settings, we are creating an agenda that has broader societal relevance. Most of the world's population now accesses green and blue spaces, as well as wildlife, within urban neighborhoods. Nature is no longer only wilderness; it includes sounds of human laughter and trash trucks. 43. According to the writer, how does he/she differ from other wildlife biologists? A. She used to keep several wild animals as pets. B. She was born in a city with four distinctive seasons. C. She had little experience of exploring the rural areas. D. She witnessed many accidents that happened to rural wildlife. 44. According to the writer, which of the following statements is TRUE of urban wild animals? A. They are of a different ancestry from rural wild animals. B. They are often more active at night than in the daytime. C. They are more resistant 1o diseases than domestical animals. D. They are more likely to feed on something rural ones don't eat at all. 45. The word "proximity" (paragraph 5) is closest in meaning to "________" A. productivity B. closeness C. treatment D. threat 46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Cities tend to make better biologists B. Biologists are mostly not very tolerant. C. Resources are getting scarcer in rural areas. D. It is essential for biologists to live in urban neighborhoods. 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. It's time to take a stand A. But they managed it. B. Although that doesn't sound like much, it adds up to about 50 calories an hour. C. Small adjustments, like going to talk to a colleague rather than emailing, should help. D. When you eat some food, your body breaks it down into glucose, which floods your blood. E. Even if you exercise regularly, there is evidence that it will not undo the damage done by sitting for a long time. F. There were some striking differences. Many of us sit too much. We sit at work, in the car and at home, moving only to shift from one seat to another. 47         So why is sitting so damaging? One thing it does is change the way our bodies process sugar, as how efficiently your body processes glucose (葡萄糖) is affected by how physically active you are. On Trust Me, I'm A Doctor, we joined forces with Dr John Buckley from the University of Chester to conduct an experiment. We asked 10 volunteers to stand for at least three hours a day for a week. Some accepted the idea, while others were worried that it would hurt their backs. A number of them felt they would not be able to stick to it. 48         We fitted them with accelerometers (加速度计) so we could record how much they were moving. They also wore heart rate trackers, and had glucose monitors that measured their blood sugar levels. The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat. 49         As we had hoped, blood glucose levels fell back to normal after eating far more quickly on the days when the volunteers stood than when they sat. There was also evidence that by standing they were burning more calories. "If we look at the heart rates, we can see they are on average around 10 beats per minute faster when standing, and that makes a difference of about 0.7 of a calorie per minute," Buckley said. 50         If you stand for three hours a day for five days, that's an extra 750 calories burnt, or around a kilo of fat. Buckley thinks that although exercise offers many benefits, our bodies need the constant, almost imperceptible increase in muscle activity that standing provides. III. Summary Writing 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. How to make resolutions stick How are those New Year's resolutions going? If you're persisting, good for you. Many people do not. Given that the real challenge seems to be not making resolutions, but keeping them, I would like to understand more about that challenge. There is a revealing story at the end of How to Change in which Milkman and her colleague Angela Duckworth discuss the success of a large experiment. This experiment was run with a national gym chain and aimed to get people exercising more. Had it been a success? While the experimental persuasions were demonstrably effective at getting people to go to the gym during the four-week experimental period, they were far less effective at getting people to maintain their gym-going habit. If you hope for persistent results, one possible answer is persistent persuasion. There are other approaches. David Epstein, for example, had been struggling to quit his late-night snacking habit. When moving house, he simply decided that he would leave the old habit in the old house. This approach, he writes, was completely successful. Epstein also made a clear plan, something that is often missing from resolutions. Your resolutions to exercise more? Great! Where and how will you exercise, and when will you do it? It is better to sign up for a particular exercise class than for a generic gym membership, because you're forced to be specific about how you will achieve your goal. Another idea that has stuck in my mind is that our actions are influenced both by driving forces and by restraints--the accelerator (加速器) and the brake, if you like. When we want to move, we instinctively stamp harder on the accelerator, but we often get better results from releasing the brake. If you're thinking of embracing a new resolution, ask yourself, "Why haven't I been doing this already? What has been stopping me?" Answer those questions, and you might learn something that will help make your new resolution stick. IV.
