上海高考英语题型训练: 六选四 ‎2019年高三英语第一学期期末质量抽查 ‎ Section C ‎ Directions: Read the passage carefully. 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. ‎ Unit 1, 宝山区 A. Other people experience false guilt because of high expectations for themselves. ‎ B. It's possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong.‎ C. Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.‎ D. It can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.‎ E. In this case, it's important to remind yourself that you have limits.‎ F, Moreover, guilt can result in physical and mental discomforts meanwhile.‎ Guilt is one of the most painful emotions that human experience but also one of the most common. Nobody enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: It alerts a person when he or she has done something wrong. This enables the person to make amends and work to heal relationships that were damaged by their actions. ________67________‎ Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way. It can cause people to avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or in actions. Some try to avoid at the pain of duty by turning to other worse habits. ________68________‎ The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you’re dealing with. For false guilty, it’s important to recognize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure.‎ For example, some false guilt focuses on failing(注：原文为falling) to meet expectations you had for yourself. ________69________ No one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.‎ It is also important to acknowledge what you're feeling. Even when you don't need to feel guilty, these feelings are real and normal. Try to balance them with positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change ‎________70________. If so, don't try to conceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and try to avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make you guilty feeling fade.‎ Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it well. 67-70 DCEB Unit 2, 长宁区 A. In other words, because we paid off and closed a line of credit, our scores took a hit.‎ B. It is always more important to know how much you are able to earn than to borrow.‎ C. All it tells you is whether you are good at borrowing money and paying it back.‎ D. Believe it or not, these standards allow you to be punished for becoming debt-free!‎ E. These are the reasons why I have stopped worrying about my credit score.‎ F. While all of that is true, it doesn't tell the whole story.‎ Why I stopped worrying about my credit score?‎ If you believed everything you read about your credit score, you'd think it was ‎ the most important component of your financial health. Without a good credit score and history, the experts say, it's more difficult qualify for a mortgage(按揭)or a car loan-and more expensive if you're approved for a loan, too, because you won't get the best interest rates. In many states, bad credit can even raise your insurance payments, cost you a rental apartment, or make it harder to get hired. _______67________‎ First off, there are several credit scores out there. While it's important to cultivate your credit scores by using credit responsibly, your FICO credit score may not be the same as what VantageScore reports, and lenders may use a different one entirely, so focusing on one score can be a fruitless exercise. More important as financial reporter Dave Ramsey notes on his blog, your credit score is not a measure of your overall financial health. He writes:"________68________" FICO, the most popular credit-scoring agency, users several weighted factors to determine your credit score, including payment history (35 percent), amounts owed (30 percent), length of credit history (15 percent), new credit (10 percent), and credit mix (10 percent).________69________ My husband and I enjoyed steady credit scores above 820 for a while. But when we paid off one of our rental properties in 2017, we both saw our credit scores fall by 20 or more points. The sudden drop took place because we completed a 15-year loan and reduced the average length of our credit history tremendously.________70________That’s blackmail. I would rather be debt-free than have a perfect credit score.‎ ‎ Your credit score is certainly important when you’re starting out and likely to borrow money for a down payment (首付) on a home or some other big purchase. But once you’re fairly established financially, it’s much easier to see it for what it really is: a measure of how well you borrow money. 67-70 FCDA Unit 3, 崇明区 ‎ A. It’s that long-term exposure that experts find most worrisome.‎ B. Car manufacturers are unaware of standards regulating air quality inside new cars.‎ C. This is when components are still unstable and tend towards what is called off-gassing.‎ D. Just reading a list of the substances is scary enough, and the danger of exposure is scarier still.‎ E. The source of the smell so many buyers find appealing is in the various substances used in car construction.‎ Fortunately, high concentrations of these compounds gradually disappear just a few months after manufacture.‎ Is New-car Smell Bad for Your Health?‎ The smell of a new car can be appealing in showrooms, for which there’s a good reason. That new car smell comes from a mixture of chemicals, some of which can be highly poisonous.‎ ‎________67________Many of these contain volatile (挥发性的) organic compounds (VOCs), some of which can be deadly in sufficient quantities. Others are just bad for you.‎ ‎“It’s a chemical cocktail made up of lots of poisonous substances,” said Jeff Gearhart, Research Director of the Ecology Center in the US state of Michigan. The Ecology Center has been monitoring and testing chemical levels in the inside of the ‎ car for years, and has noted some improvement. But Gearhart says there is still work to be done.‎ ‎“There are over 200 chemical compounds found in vehicles,” he said. “Since these chemicals are not regulated, consumers have no way of knowing the dangers they face.”‎ ‎________68________ Immediate symptoms can range from a sore throat to headaches, dizziness, etc., depending on the sensitivity of an individual.‎ According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, continued exposure to some of these can lead to reproductive impacts and damage to some organs and central nervous system—or even cancer.________69________‎ The danger is the greatest when the car is new, and that new car smell is most noticeable.________70________ ‎ It is the release of chemical vapors, which leads to the smell. Heat from a vehicle left in the sun can make matters worse, and speed up the chemical reaction. The danger is reduced over time, and experts say the worst is usually over within about six months.‎ Experts advise the best thing that buyers can do to limit exposure is to keep the inside of the car well ventilated (通风的), especially during the first six months of ownership. Park in the shade with the windows open when it’s safe to do so, or at least try to air it out before getting inside—especially on hot days. 67-70 EDAC Unit 4, 奉贤区 A. An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods.‎ B. You are more easily annoyed and bothered. ‎ C. It is generally believed that the quality of being patient is very difficult to develop.‎ D. Becoming more patient involves opening your heart to the present moment, even if you don’t like it.‎ E. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings.‎ If you lack patience, you are destined to fail in what you are pursuing.‎ The quality of patience goes a long way toward your goal of creating a more peaceful and loving self. The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what life is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be. Without patience, life is extremely frustrating.________67________Patience adds some ease and acceptance to your life. It’s important for inner peace. ‎ ‎________68________ If you are stuck in a traffic jam, late for an appointment, ‎ being patient would mean keeping yourself from building a mental snowball before your thinking get out of hand and gently reminding yourself to relax. It might also be a good time to breathe as well as an opportunity to remind yourself that, in the bigger scheme of things, being late is “small stuff”.‎ Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice.________69________They are the periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience over time. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be ‎ patient, especially if you know it’s only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself. Once you reach little milestone—five minutes of successful patience—you’ll begin to see that you do indeed have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person. ‎ Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn’t “life or death” but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with.________70________ 67-70 BDAE Unit 5, 虹口区 A.As you walk, pay close attention to your surroundings.‎ B. Make a plan to get off campus and explore your surroundings.‎ C. If you’re averaging seven hours or less, commit to sleeping at least eight hours tonight.‎ D. If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, don’t punish yourself by pushing your mind and body to their limits.‎ E.A comfortable corner in the library and even an empty classroom are perfect places to relax and recharge.‎ F. Actually, it is possible to shorten sleep time by up to 1 hour without the risk of sleep deprivation (剥夺) if you know how to have high quality sleep.‎ Self-Care Strategies for College Students Most college students don’t put self-care at the top of their to do lists. When you’re caught up in the whirlwind(旋风) of classes, extra-curricular, work, friendships, and final exams, it’s easy to ignore a task that doesn’t come with a deadline (even if that task is simply “taking care of yourself”). Embrace the excitement and intensity of college life, but remember that maintaining your physical, mental, and emotional health is essential to your success and well-being. ________67________Instead, take time out to take care of yourself with some of these self-care strategies.‎ Get Away for some Alone Time. If you live with roommates, privacy can be hard to come by, so make it your mission to find a peaceful place on campus to call your own. ________68________‎ Take a Mindful Walk Around Campus. When you’re strolling to class, try this mindfulness exercise to center yourself and distress. ________69_________ Feel free to people-watch, but pay attention to sensory details too, like the smell of a nearby barbecue or the sensation of pavement under your shoes. Take note of at least five beautiful or intriguing things you notice along your route. You might find yourself feeling a little calmer by the time you reach your destination.‎ Stage a Sleep Intervention. How much sleep do you really get each night? ________70________ By doing that, you’ll begin the process of repaying your sleep debt and establishing healthy new sleep habits. Don’t buy into the myth that the less you’re sleeping, the harder you’re working. Your mind and body need consistent sleep to operate at optimum levels--you simply can’t do your best work without it.‎ Download a New Podcast. Take a break from the books, grab your headphones, and listen to some immersive mysteries, compelling interviews, or laugh-out-loud ‎ comedy. There are thousands of podcasts covering almost every subject imaginable, so you’re sure to find something that interests you. 67-70 DEAC Unit 6, 黄浦区 ‎ A. However, facial recognition seems merely to encode them.‎ B. Research show that artificial intelligence can reconstruct the facial structures of people.‎ C. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition programs to use.‎ D. Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces.‎ E. Continuous facial recording that paints computerized data onto the real world might change the texture of social interactions.‎ F. The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies.‎ Nowhere to Hide: What Machines Can Tell From Your Face The human face is a remarkable piece of work.________67________ So is the face’s ability to send emotional signals, whether through the unconscious shame or the trick of a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility, trust and deceit. They also spend plenty of time trying to hide their feelings, intentions or nature.‎ ‎________68________In America facial recognition is used by churches to track worshippers’ attendance; in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game. In China it confirms the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits tourists to enter attractions and lets people pay for things with a smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to unlock the homescreen.‎ Set against human skills, such applications might seem enhansive. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the internet, obviously transform human abilities. ________69________Although faces are peculiar to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyse images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast scale promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.‎ ‎________70________Masking true feelings helps fix the wheels of daily life. If your partner can spot every prohibited yawn, and your boss every hint of annoyance, marriages and working relationships will be more truthful, but less harmonious. The basis of social interactions might change, too, from a set of commitments founded on trust to calculations of risk and reward derived from the information a computer attaches to someone’s face. Relationships might become more reasonable, but also transactional. 67-70 FDAE ‎ Unit 7, 嘉定区 A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems.‎ B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us.‎ C What she did was really beyond our imagination.‎ D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent.‎ E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way.‎ F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills.‎ Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders(考虑)this question.‎ Generally, we love to watch someone's bravery and drama--a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour. ‎ ‎________67________However, there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wish to do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or just plain dangerous.‎ American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit--for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get out of the pool. Something make her carry on. Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal.________68________‎ The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold, including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert.________69________Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it."‎ ‎________70________There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems boring in comparison. 67-70 EADB Unit 8 金山区 A. What do you think we can do to prevent Chinese musicals from declining in popularity? ‎ B. At that time, the musical was chosen as the opening show for the 17th China Shanghai International Arts Festival. ‎ C. The box office is expected to be twice higher than that of last year, reaching $1 million in total. ‎ D. The small audience size hasn’t discouraged local artists from producing outstanding works. ‎ E. The deal is a milestone for Shimmer in its goal to further spread its influence to the world. ‎ F. Despite the huge success of Shimmer, the team is facing a limited market.‎ Shanghai Hengyuanxiang Drama Development Company and Netherlander Worldwide Entertainment signed a deal last November that would see Shimmer (《犹太人在上海》) become the first Chinese musical to have an open-ended run on ‎ Broadway in 2019.________67________ ‎ Directed by Xu Jun, Shimmer is a musical in both English and Chinese. Shimmer, which tells a story about Jews who fled to Shanghai to escape Nazi persecution (迫害) during World War II, was first shown at the Shanghai Culture Square in 2015. ________68________‎ The musical’s scheduled open-ended run in 2019 will be one of the events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. With this play being shown on Broadway, the ties between Chinese people and Americans will be firmly strengthened. And through this drama, the audience can feel the charm of Chinese culture.‎ ‎________69________ To deal with the problem, many production companies in Shanghai have pointed out that they should keep striving for improvement by creating more Chinese musicals and by creating more audiences. Currently, those who watch Western musicals in China are limited to a small group — people who have received a university education or have had overseas working experiences, white-collar and even gold-collar workers. There are only a handful of people who understand foreign languages and you have to find a way to motivate the public and get them into the theater. ‎ ‎________70________There has been a handful of successful musical stories in Shanghai. The Chinese editions of Broadway musicals Cats and Mamma Mia, both of which had hundreds of shows across China, are among the top box office hits. ‎ ‎67-70 EBFD Unit 9, 静安区 A. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness.‎ B. The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.‎ C. Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking method.‎ D. Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor of the meat.‎ E. It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.‎ F. It beats the former method by saving chefs’effort in cleaning the creature.‎ Unit the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.‎ ‎ If you slap(掌击) another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in response. ________67________ Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured areas are two major signs.‎ ‎ But huge disagreement exists. For example, scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters(龙虾) feel pain. Some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates(脊椎动物) to feel pain. Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and learn to avoid dangerous situations. ________68________ In result, today most scientists agree ‎ that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.‎ ‎ Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice in some countries. Currently, boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland and New Zealand. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants prefer more humane methods. ________69_______ ‎ To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking methods. Stabbing a lobster in the head isn’t a good option, as it neither kills the lobster nor makes it unconscious.‎ ‎ Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes(电击) a lobster.________70________ The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2 minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts. 67-70 EADB ‎ Unit 10, 闵行区 ‎ A. It takes continuous time and effort to be successful in any area.‎ B. The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get. ‎ C. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.‎ D. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.‎ E. However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement. ‎ F. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path. ‎ Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences.________67________ Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.‎ ‎________68________ However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.‎ Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. ________69________ ‎ ‎ You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to. ______70_______ Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right. 67-70 DAFC Unit 11, 浦东新区 A. BAT wanted to take action.‎ B. Those who gave more tended to gain less,‎ C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.‎ D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others-not themselves.‎ E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion in today's world ‎ F. After all, self-care, good mental health positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.‎ We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressed.‎ Teaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing ----- and we still have the numbers... by a lot. ________67________ ”‎ ‎“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” “Brice-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).‎ ‎________68________ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising---and not. If you've been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren't all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work "always" or "often" stressful; 27 percent of educators said they've been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.‎ Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonder we're seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn't seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ________69________ ‎ We think it's time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health, Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care. along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.‎ We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators.________70________ And it's pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place-be a good teacher. 67-70 CADF ‎ Unit 12, 普陀区 ‎ A. There are five reasons for the accident and you are guilty.‎ B. Every year thousands of people are horribly killed, and we sit still and let it happen.‎ C. Surprisingly, society should smile at the driver and forgive him.‎ D. Someone has rightly said that when a person is sitting behind the steering wheel, his car becomes an extension of his personality.‎ E. All advertisements that emphasize power and performance should be banned.‎ F. It is time to develop a universal norm to reduce this senseless waste of human life.‎ Traffic Regulations and Accident Prevention We live in a remarkable time, and many of the once fatal diseases can now be cured with modern medicine and surgery. It is almost certain that one day a cure will be found for the rest of the diseases. Expectations of life have greatly increased. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible killing of men women and children on the roads. Man fights against the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is ‎ losing.________67________ ‎ Nothing can seriously increase your risk of potentially fatal car accidents other than speeding and failing to pay due attention to weather conditions. ________68________ ‎ There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. Usually quiet and pleasant people, when they are behind the steering wheel, will become unrecognizable. They are impolite, aggressive, self-willed like two-year-old, completely selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments, and jealousy seem to be caused by driving.‎ ‎________69________ It's all for his own convenience. Due to a serious tragedy, ‎ the city is almost uninhabitable and the huge parking lot makes the town ugly. The destruction of rural areas and the annual mass killings are just a statistic, easily forgotten. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough.‎ Traffic rules are for everyone to follow under any circumstances, and no one can make an exception unless you make a joke of your own life. Universally accepted standards can only have a significant beneficial effect on the incidence of accidents. Governments should develop safety codes for manufacturers.________70________ These measures may sound cruel. However, if these measures result in a reduction in the loss of life every year, they should certainly not be considered serious. After all, the world belongs to humans, not cars. 67-70 BDCE ‎ Unit 13, 青浦区 A. Some have reportedly climbed up chimneys threatening to jump to their death unless they get their defaulted salaries.‎ B. It is something every Chinese looks forward to as the traditional gala draws near.‎ C. Unfortunately, weeks preceding the Spring Festival have turned out to be hard times for migrant workers.‎ D. Hopefully, these efforts will send more workers on a happy journey home for the Spring Festival with their salaries in their pockets.‎ E. However difficult the situations they are in, it is too cruel and unfair for employers to hold back salaries they should pay their migrant workers.‎ F. Objectively speaking, governments at various levels have done a great deal in helping these workers recover their defaulted salaries.‎ Help migrant workers ‎ There is nothing like going home. More so if it is for the Spring Festival family reunion. For a migrant worker it perhaps means even more. To be able to set out on a homeward journey with money from a year’s toil in his pocket is the best thing he can think of. ________67________ They had to press hard for their defaulted payments, the salaries that were failed to pay up.‎ ‎ About 200 million migrant workers nationwide are something left behind by economic reforms and opening up due to their contributions in the past three decades. It is almost impossible to imagine life in these places without them. However, they still form a disadvantaged group. Their rights are violated in different forms. Among other things, unpaid salaries are the most painful of such violations that are likely to drive a migrant worker to desperate actions. ________68________ ‎ ‎ ________69________ They have taken measures to prevent employers from ‎ holding back payments to them. Yet, as the financial crisis bites deep, some small enterprises that are struck the most try to reduce their economic losses by laying off migrant workers or refusing to pay them. So it is particularly important for governments at all levels to do an even better job in helping villager-turned-workers recover their unpaid salaries before the Spring Festival.‎ ‎ It is good news that quite a number of local governments have organized special task forces to conduct inspections in those labor-intensive enterprises to make sure they have paid their migrant workers in a timely and fair manner. Construction commissions in almost all provinces have published hotlines for farmer-turned-construction workers to lodge complaints against their employers for withholding their salaries. ________70________ But we need to look for solutions that will work at all times. We need to put in place a mechanism that will effectively prevent employers from holding back salaries to workers. 67-70 CAFD Unit 14, 松江区 A. Bike tourism is on the rise in the United States and around the world, according to the Adventure Cycling Association.‎ B. Slowly, you can see snapshots of people’s daily lives and interact with them.‎ C. Travelling alters your attitude towards the whole world.‎ D. What’s good for the heart is good for the brain, so riding and staying fit is sort of a priority in my life. ‎ E. Traveling changes your view of money and what it can do for you.‎ F. Every time you make a roadside stop, you have the opportunity to meet people or see something new.‎ Travel the World by Bike Rachel Hugens met her husband, Patrick, while bicycle touring. The Hugenses, who live in Boise, when not on their bikes, recently went on their latest round-the-world adventure. They visited 36 countries on a tour, touching Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.‎ ‎“Traveling by bike is the ultimate freedom,” Rachel said via email. “On a bike, you become part of the scenery. The landscape is not framed by a window. ________67________”‎ A growing community Dennis Swift, secretary of the Southwest Idaho Mountain Biking Association, rode across the U.S last year–from Seattle to Salem, Massachusetts. Six people started the tour and three finished, riding 52 out of 56 days. They averaged about 60 miles per riding day.‎ ‎“We took quite a few pictures; we didn’t keep our head down the whole way,” Swift said. “We got to meet different people. It’s the people that are probably most important.” Swift also rode through the Basque Country with a group of Boise cyclists last year. He’s planning to participate in a Virginia bike tour this year.‎ ‎“When you get older, your health is the number one priority.” he said, “________68________ ”‎ Seeing the places in between ‎“Traveling by bicycle forces you to visit the places in between that many backpackers traveling by bus would pass by,” Patrick said. “________69________”‎ ‎ The challenges, beyond the obvious mental and physical energy required, include navigating visa requirements, food choices, language barriers, poor riding surfaces and boxing bikes for air travel, Rachel said.‎ Financial flexibility to travel This is the third time that the couple has quit their jobs to tour. Rachel is a registered nurse; Patrick is an architect. Both regained their former jobs when they returned home in 2000 and 2007. They’re uncertain what will happen this time.‎ They’ve given themselves financial flexibility by paying off their home, commuting to work by bike and avoiding some of the bills that are important parts for most (cell phones, cable TV). They travel with a $50 daily budget.‎ ‎“________70________ ” Rachel said. “We’ve met some cyclists traveling long term on a $10 daily budget. They can travel as long as their money lasts, so they’re motivated to spend wisely.” 67-70 BDFE ‎ Unit 15, 徐汇区 A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing. ‎ B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his attention.‎ C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice.‎ D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not write at all!‎ E.

It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance.‎ The art of academic writing is not easy to master.________67________ Academic writing is the skilful exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of time.________68________ But the joy of reading and sharing with others, one’s succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.‎ Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing? What is it that I intend to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or theme about which I am going to write? ________69________ Because academic writing is a serious activity – it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.‎ The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay). ________70________ The body should include cogent and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece. 67=70 CFDB Unit 16, 杨浦区 ‎ A.

But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.‎ According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use "we-talk".‎ Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants.________67________ ‎ The word "we" moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent."________68________ Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them." Robbins told Science Daily.‎ ‎________69________ The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner--especially important in times of stress and disagreement.‎ Contrary to "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as "I", "me" and "mine", when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researcher analyzed a set of data that came from 4,7000 people in Germany and the US.________70________ As you can see from the two studies, too much "I-talk" can make you feel depressed.

You may find yourself feeling more positive--and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.‎ ‎67-70 EACF
