1、闵行区2014学年第二学期高三年级质量调研考试英语试卷第I卷 （共103分）I. listening comprehension（略）II. Grammar and vocabulary：My husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently _25_(relax) ourselves.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border,
2、 was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman _26_ (stand) at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back. Thinking the gentleman _27_need someth
3、ing to eat, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir, are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order _28_ h
4、e wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to say anything. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order _29_ our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Ok.” We turned to our table a
5、nd the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank you!” Soon we seated ourselves at the table and upon finishing our meal we _30_ our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman _31_(order). One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a slide of hash browns. When we left the r
6、estaurant I looked for the gentleman but didnt see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to bring some joy into his life, _32_ _ it only lasted for a few minutes.B.Every time you go to the supermarket, you come away with your purchases in plastic bags.
7、But wouldnt it be kinder to the environment _33_ you asked for paper bags instead?_34_ answer is not as easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are disadvantages in using both plastic and paper bags.Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of y
8、ears to break down and , as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil._35_(far) damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish(水母)， their main source of food， and often choke（噎死）on them.Floating plast
9、ic bags have been spotted as far north as the Arctic Ocean and as far south as the southern end of South America, _36_ has caused great concern among scientists. However, this kind of bag does have its advantages.“Plastic grocery bags are some of the most _37_(reuse) things around the house,” explai
10、ned Laurie Kusek of the American Plastic Council.Although paper bags are believed to be more environment-friendly, the fact is unknown t some people _38_ paper bags use more energy when manufactured and create more wastes than plastic bags.So you may ask _39_, what to do. One possible solution would
11、 be t use biodegradable(可降解的) plastic bags. But it might be wiser to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags _40_ biodegradable products become more reliable.A. belief B. discourage C. choices D. issue E. try F. characterize G. demonstrate H. ensure I. incomparable J. opposing K. responsibleThe u
12、nique features of colleges and universities in the US. are hardly shared by their competitors in Europe or Asia. Many foreign students are attracted not only to the academic programs at a particular US college but also to the larger community, which affords the chance for them to absorb the surround
13、ing culture. Clubs, sports teams, student publications and drama societies _-41_ colorful and enjoyable American campus life. However, few foreign universities put much emphasis on this. “In peoples minds, the campus and the American university are both admirable,” says Brown University President Va
14、rtan Gregorian. In America, people have a strong _42_ that a students daily life is as important as his learning experience.”Foreign students also come in search of _43_. Americas menu of opinions-research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, community colleges, religious
15、institutions- is _44_. No any single Europeans country can offer such variety. “In Europe,” says history professor Jonathan Steinberg, who has taught at both Harvard and Cambridge, there is only one system, and that is it.” From the beginning, students overseas usually are required to _45_ professio
16、nal skills in a specific field, whether law or philosophy or Chemistry. Most American universities insist that students have a(n) _46_ on natural and social sciences, languages and literature before choosing a field of concentration.Such _47_ philosophies grow out of different traditions and power s
17、tructures. In Europe and Japan，universities are _48_ only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and provides money.Centralization(集权化) is likely to _49_ that all students are equipped with roughly the same resources and perform at roughly the same level. On the other hand, it may
18、 also _50_ the testing of different ideas. “When they make mistakes, they make big ones,” says Robert Rosenzweig, president of the Association of American universities. “They set a system in wrong directions, and its like piloting a super ship.”III. Reading comprehension:Apes and humans beings share
19、 a lot in common when it comes to behavior. The evidence taken from the observation of the behavior of apes and children suggests that there are three causes for the outbreak of fighting and the exhibition of _51_ by individuals.One of the most common causes of fighting among both children and apes
20、was over the _52_ of external objects. The argument over the ownership of any desired object-food, clothes, toys, females, and the affection of others- was sufficient reason to _53_ force. In a case of monkeys disagreement over females. thirty females were killed. Two points are of particular intere
21、st to notice about these fights for possession.In the first place, the fights are often carried to such an extreme that they end in the _54_ destruction of the objects of common desire. Toys are torn to pieces and females are killed.In the second place it is observable, that _55_ occurs when an obje
22、ct is desired by only one person or by someone else. There were many cases where toys and other objects which had been thrown away as useless were _56_ defended by their owners when they became the object of some other childs desire.Another cause of aggression is the tendency for children and apes a
23、re greatly to _57_ the invading of a stranger into their group. A new child in the class may be laughed at, isolated, and disliked. A new monkey may be bitten to death. It is interesting to note that anger occurs when a stranger comes from the _58_ species. Monkeys do not mind being _59_ by a goat o
24、r a rat. Children do not object when animals are introduced to the group. As a matter of fact, such newcomers are often _60_ . But when monkeys meet a new monkey or children a strange child, aggression often occurs. This strongly suggests that the reason for the aggression is fundamentally possessiv
25、eness. The _61_ of the newcomers is feared. The present members of the group feel that there will be more competitors for the food or the attention of the adults.Finally, another common source of fighting among children is a frustration or failure in their own _62_ .A child will be stopped either by
26、 _63_ causes such as bad weather or illness from doing something he wishes to do, for example, sail his boat or ride the bicycle. Sometimes the activity may be _64_ because of the opposition of some adult. The child may also frustrate itself by _65_, through lack of skill or strength, to complete su
27、ccessfully some desired activity. Such a child will then in the ordinary sense become “naughty”. He will be in a bad or unfriendly temper.51. A. fulfillment B. excitementC. isolationD. aggressiveness52. A. usageB. possessionC. valueD. collection53. A. turn toB. drive awayC. come overD. make into54.

30、d coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are facing threats brought by climate change and great changes in sea temperatures. While ocean warming has been the primary focus for scientists and ocean policy managers, cold events can also whiten corals. A new study by scientists compared damage to corals caused by heat as we
31、ll as cold stress. The results show that cool temperatures can cause more damage in the short term, but heat is more destructive in the long run.Climate change is widely known to produce warming conditions in the oceans, but extreme cold-water events have become more frequent and serious as well. I
32、2010, for example, coral reefs around the world faced one of the coldest winters and one of the hottest summers on record.During a unique experiment, corals under cold temperatures suffered greater damage in just days compared with the heat treated corals. Yet the researchers found that corals were
33、eventually able to adjust to the cold conditions, make their health stable and continue to grow. However, over the long term corals subjected to heat suffered more greatly than those in cold, with evidence of severe whitening and growth stoppage, which leads to death.The corals ability to adjust to
34、cool temperatures surprised the researchers, who say the studys results show the complexities of monitoring coral health in response to different environmental factors.“Global warming is associated with increases but also decreases of temperatures,” said Deheyn, one of the researchers. “Not much has
35、 been known about the comparative effects of temperature decrease on corals. These results are important because they show that corals react differently to temperature differences, which is important for future management of coral reefs in the field of climate change.”66. According to the first para
36、graph, we know that _. A. different corals suffer differently by climate change. B. both heat and cold stress affect corals. C. cool temperature is more destructive to corals. D. its hard to know the effect of climate change on corals.67. The phrase “subjected to”(in Paragraph 3) is closest in meani
37、ng to”_”. A. referred toB. adjusted toC. exposed toD. stuck to68. By “Not much has been known about” Deheyn probably means that _. A. we know very little about the effects of temperature decrease on corals B. temperature decrease is not expected to have a bad effect on corals C. it makes no sense to
38、 study the effects of temperature decrease on corals D. corals may not have been affected by the decrease in temperature.69. What is the passage mainly about? A. measures should be taken to control global warming. B. Climate change has resulted in more cold currents. C. Heat is responsible for the d
39、estruction of corals. D. Heat can cold damage corals in their own ways. B.Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and devices will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows (肘部
40、) next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use: power tools rather than having t use muscle power. tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist to keep straight (See Figure I)
41、. This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a persons side tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes- remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a p
42、erson with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men. tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small
43、 surface area.70. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Good Tool Design for WomenB. Tool Design and Prevention of Injuries C. Examples of Good Tool Design D. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection71. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool? A. Its kept clo
44、se to the body.B. It fully uses muscle power. C. It makes users feel relaxed. D. Its operated with less force.72. What is Figure I used to show? A. The effective use of the toolB. The way of operating the tool. C. The proper design of the handle.D. The purpose of bending the wrist.73. In choosing to
45、ols for women, _ of the handle is the most important. A. the sizeB. the edgeC. the shape D. positionC.When we perceive other people, we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the
46、other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in may ways. Social scientist Ber
47、ger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed persons behavior with the known others behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the persons responses to specific stimuli; asking peopl
