Time to End Loneliness

US author Henry Rollins once wrote: "Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better. Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that (21)_______ (inspire) by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.

In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic.

Instead, it's a "giant evil" that's become a serious problem in the country.

On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first "Minister for Loneliness". Her job is (22)______ (deal) with the loneliness that the country's been feeling—a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and (23)______

be more harmful to one's physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the "loneliness capital of Europe" by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were (24)______ (likely) to get to know their neighbours or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.

But this doesn't mean it is the problem (25)_____ (affect) Britons only. In fact, were all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now being linked to the internet, (26)______ has enabled us to be more connected than ever.

(27)________ we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have "proper human connections".

"Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. (28)_______ _______ _______ busy we are, we need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings," Leadbetter said at an event last year.

But the first steps toward (29)_______ (fight) this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or frightened by it. After all, (30)______ loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn't even exist. Whether it is "evil" or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being humman.

Section B

Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Robots Writing Newspapers

Whether it's robots working as hotel receptionists or artificial intelligence creating poetry, it's becoming more and more common to read about technology doing the jobs of humans. And now, it seems that software is even 31 of writing news stories—such as the very one you're reading.

BBC News 32 reported that the Press Association(PA), a UK news service, has created a computer program that's competent to create articles that are almost impossible to tell apart from those written by human journalists. Called "robo-journalism" by BBC News, such software "teaches" itself by 33 thousands of news stories written by humans. The PA's software is already so advanced that many UK newspapers and websites publish articles created by it.

According to the Reuters Institute of Journalism, many publishers are using robo-journalism to 34 interesting information quickly, from election results to official 35 on social issues. For example, US news organization The Washington Post has its own robo-journalism software, Heliograf.

According to tech website Digiday, Heliograf "wrote" over 850 articles in 2017, as well as

hundreds of social media 36 .So what does this mean for regular journalists? "We're naturally cautious about any technology that could replace human beings." Fredrick Kunkle, a Washington Post reporter, told Wired. "But this technology seems to have taken over only some of the work that nobody else wants to do."

Indeed, it appears that robo-journalism software is 37 to help humans, rather than take away their jobs.

"In the future, Heliograf could do things like searching the web to see what people are talking about, checking The Washington Post to see if that story is being 38 , and, if not, alerting editors or just writing the piece itself, Wired reporter Joe Keoha wrote.

However, Joshua Benton at Harvard university's Nieman Journalism Lab believes that while robo-journalism is 39 going to become more present in newsrooms, nothing can replace traditional human creativity.

"Good journalism is not just a matter of inputs and outputs, it is a craft that has developed over decades," he told BBC news.

"The really difficult part of what professional journalists do—carefully 40 information and presenting balanced, contextualized(全景式的) stones—will be very hard for machines to master."

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Direction: 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.

Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard 41 : keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities 42 longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by 43 the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.

The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing more 44 and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people, long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a(n) 45 life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: Those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough 46 to make it through tough times.

Interestingly, 47 , other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, 48 , were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being 49 to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.

Whether you can successfully change your 50 as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should 51 to be as outgoing as possible.

Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help 52 your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28, 000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids 53

diets, Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.

Personality isn't destin(命运), and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. Therefore, it might be 54 to form those personality traits contributing to longevity through health-related behaviours, stress reduction and 55 to the challenging problems.

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 )

One Friday morning, before Michael was leaving for work he told his wife that he had finally determined to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Michael felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr. Duncan refused to grant his request? Michael had worked so hard in the last 18 months and brought some great benefits to Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.

The thought of walking into Mr. Duncan's office left Michael weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever- frugal (一惯节省的) Rowland Duncan agreed to give Michael a raise!

Michael arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Cassie, had prepared a delicate meal including his favourite dishes. Immediately he thought someone from the office had tipped her off!

Next to his plate Michael found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: "Congratulations, my love! I knew you'd get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!" He read it and stopped to think about how sensitive and caring Cassie was.

After dinner, Michael was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Cassie's pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase."

Suddenly tears swelled in Michael's eyes. Total acceptance! Cassie's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

56. What was Michaels plan that Friday?

A. To find a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.

B. To ask for a wage increase from his boss.

C. To celebrate his success.

B. was punished by the traffic policeman

C. was too anxious to share the news with his wife

58. Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?

A. Michael was afraid that his request would lead to a disaster.

B. Michael had worked very hard and done his part for the company.

C. Michael's boss agreed to his request.

D. One of Michael's colleagues had told his wife the good news.

59. According to the passage, which of the following can best describe Michael's wife, Cassie?

A. Passionate, thoughtful and talented.

B. Considerate, generous and reliable.

C. Decisive, optimistic and energetic.

"Monday morning feeling "could be a crushing pain in the chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.

he risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2, 600 Germans revealed that the average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.

Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.

A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.

The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr. Stefan Willich of the Free University. "We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol (胆固醇)but we don't know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can 't make specific recommendations about how to prevent them," he said.

Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work. "When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal(荷尔蒙的) changes in their bodies.” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavorable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot(血凝块) in the arteries(动脉) which will cause a heart attack. "When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity," said willich. "We need to know how these events cause changes in the body before we can understand if they cause heart attacks."

But although it is tempting to believe that returning to work increases the risk of a heart attack, both Willich and the Italian researchers admit that it is only a partial answer. Both studies showed that the over 65s are also vulnerable on Monday morning even though most no longer work. The reason for this is not clear, but the Italian team speculated that the social interactions-the thought of facing another week and all its pressures—may play a part.

What is clear, however, is that the Monday morning peak seems to be consistent from the northern Germany to southern Italy in spite of the differences in diet and lifestyle.

63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. 20% of the Italians appear to have higher possibility of having heart attacks.

B. 33% of the Germans have heart diseases, so heart attacks are more common in Germany

than in any other country.

C. The risk of having heart attacks on Monday mornings is the same as on any other day of

the week to non-workers.

D. non-smokers are more likely to have heart attacks on Sundays.

64. The over 65s are more likely to suffer from heart attacks on Monday mornings possibly

because ______.

A. they are afraid of returning to work

B. they are reluctant to face the pressures of another week

C. most of them are not in good health

D. they are much busier on Mondays than on any other days of the week

65. In the following research, Dr. Willich will probably try to find out______.

A. if smoking and cholesterol will cause heart attack

B. if increase in blood pressure, heart rate and hormonal changes will cause heart attacks

C. on which day people are least likely to have a heart attack

D. if events like higher workload, more stress and so on will cause heart attacks.

66. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Causes of Heart Attacks on Mondays.

B. Warning: Mondays Are Bad for Your Heart.

C. The Overweight and Smokers Risk Heart Attacks on Mondays.

D. Reduce Your Chance of Having Heart Attacks on Mondays.

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

You won't have any excuse to skip class anymore. French startup Open Classrooms is offering the first state-recognized bachelor degree in France that uses only MOOCs(massive open online courses). The startup partnered with IESA Multimedia to create this program.

There are three learning paths in engineering, design and marketing Students will have to complete all the courses and required projects in order to get their degree. 67 IESA is already working on 40 different MOOCS for this program.

On average, it will take a year of hard work in order to complete all the classes. As always, it's hard to keep going when you sign up for a MOOC. 68

This kind of degree has many key advantages. For IESA, it gives the school more students. IESA is a private school, and its end goal is to make as much money as possible. So with these new Mooc students, IESA will be able to get more money per teacher on average.

69 The startup already offers a course for e20 per month, but you need to pay E300 per month for the Premium Plus offering to use the state-recognized program. it's unclear how much Open Classrooms will keep, but it should be more than €20 per month.

For students, it's a cheaper way to get a degree. Maybe you can't afford to study for three years at IESA and pay €6,950 per year.70 Sure, it's probably a less enjoyable experience than going to your school and spending time with other students and teachers, but it makes sense for some students.

It's an interesting new direction for Open Classrooms, and I can't wait to see whether other schools will start working with the startup to provide online courses. It will be interesting to see whether the first students are satisfied with this kind of degree as well.

IV. 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.

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.

Since 2009, a new form of the sharing economy has been emerging in neighbourhoods throughout the US and around the world - Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes put in neighbourhoods from which local people can take out and put in books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults or tour guides.

In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library in the Mississippi River town of Hudson, Wisconsin, to honour his mother, who loved reading. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further.

Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to LittleFreelibrary. org. there are now 18,000 of the little boxes around the world, found in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article said that they are something different in a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. when you open the door of the box, chance and your neighbours' tastes determine what you'll find. You might find a graphic novel, a cookbook or a tour guidebook.

For many people, this sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries main appeal. "A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading, a man on his way to the bus stop might find a book of poetry that changes his view on life, said The Atlantic article. "Every book is a potential source of inspiration."

2018届上海市奉贤区高三二模语文试题(解析版)

2018届上海市奉贤区高三二模语文试题（解析版） 一、积累运用 1. 按要求填空。 （1）_____________，铁马秋风大散关。（陆游《书愤》） （2）成语“任重道远”出自《_________·泰伯》：“___________，任重而道远”。 （3）古人诗词中常借用虚拟之景表达情感，如秦观《踏莎行》中的“雾失楼台，月迷津渡”。柳永的《雨霖铃》中与之手法相似的诗句是“___________，___________”。 【答案】(1). 楼船夜雪瓜洲渡(2). 论语(3). 士不可以不弘毅(4). 杨柳岸(5). 晓风残月 【解析】试题分析：本题考查名句名篇默写能力，采用的是上下句填空式默写和情景式默写相结合的题型，解答时既要注意所给句子的出处及作者，还要注意题干中给出的上句或下句，仔细回忆自己背诵的相关内容，准确书写出答案。本题还要注意下列字的正确写法：楼、洲、渡、弘、毅、岸、晓、残。 2. 学习中遇到困难止步不前时，下列名言用以自勉不恰当的一项是 A. 锲而不舍，金石可镂。——荀子《劝学》 B. 不登高山,不知天之高也。——荀子《劝学》 C. 譬如为山，未成一篑，止，吾止也。——《论语·子罕》 D. 善学者假人之长，以补其短。——《吕氏春秋·孟夏纪》 【答案】D 【解析】试题分析：A项，“锲而不舍，金石可镂”强调的是做事情要坚持，可以用于学习遇到困难时的自勉；B项，“不登高山,不知天之高也”，喻指站得高才能看得远。可以用于学习遇到困难时的自勉。C项，“譬如为山，未成一篑，止，吾止也”，孔子在这里用堆土成山这一比喻，说明功亏一篑和持之以恒的深刻道理，他鼓励自己和学生们无论在学问和道德上，都应该是坚持不懈，自觉自愿。可以用于学习遇到困难时的自勉。D项，“善学者假人之长，以补其短”，意思是擅长学习的人,会吸收别人的长处来弥补自己的短处。强调的是学习要讲究方法。不适合用于学习遇到困难时的自勉，故答案应为D项。 3. 填入下面语段空白处的语句，最恰当的一项是 我们在以理性为武器批判一切之前，是否先应对理性本身进行批判？我们在用武器批判一切之前，是否先对武器本身进行批判？我们在使用工具之前是否应先研究工具？理性是什么？它的内容和界限是什么？这种，就是哲学思考的根本问题。 A. 对理性的思想，对理性的批判 B. 对理性的批判，对思想的批判
