Others think of them more as something that leads to self-appreciation, threatens privacy and reduces intelligent conversations to the exchange of rude memes (搞笑图片). They might even, these kinds of arguments go, be creating a generation of electronic addicts who are incapable of reflective, individual, original thought. A topic ripe for anthropological (人类学的) study, then. And such a study, the “Why We Post (发帖)” project, has just been published by nine anthropologists, led by Daniel Miller of University College, London. The participants in “Why We Post” worked independently for 15 months at locations in Brazil, Britain, Chile, China (one rural and one industrial site), India, Italy, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turkey. They buried themselves within families and their surrounding communities. That, the team believes, let them form a subtle view of the roles of social media in their study sites which could not be gained by analysing participants’ public postings. These by-standers’ viewpoints deny much received wisdom. One of the biggest doubts is the “selfie” - which is often blamed for causing self-regard and too much focus on attractiveness. “Why We Post”, however, reveals that the selfie itself has many faces. In Brazil many selfies posted by men were taken at the gym. But at the British site, Dr Miller found, school children posted five times as many “groupies” (images of the picture-taker with friends) as they did selfies. Britons have also created a category called “uglies” (曝丑照), of which the purpose is to take as ugly a self-image as possible. The often-humorous, marked-up images known as memes have also come in for criticism. They lower down traditional forms of public debate, spreading far and wide with little context. But memes serve different purposes in different cultures. In India they tend to focus on serious and religious issues; Trinidadian memes are more often send-ups of politicians. Yet in all cases Dr Miller sees meme-passing not as limiting what social media users think and say, but as enabling conversations. Many users happily forward memes with strong political or economic messages about which they would not dare to comment individually. Critics also often view the online characters people create for their social-media postings as false images designed for the medium at hand. Trinidadians, however, disagree. They see online profiles as more representative of a person’s true self even than what is seen in real life. Also, young boys and girls in Turkey see things differently. Social media permit them to be in constant contact with one another, in full view of their parents, but to keep their conversations and photos to themselves. In rural China and Turkey social media were viewed as a distraction from education. But in industrial China and Brazil they were seen to be an educational resource. Such a divide was evident in India, too. There, high-income families regarded them with suspicion but low-income families advocated them as a supplementary source of schooling. In Britain, meanwhile, they were valued not directly as a means of education, but as a way for pupils，parents and teachers to communicate. The skeptics’ reaction to new technology seems equally deep-rooted. New means of communication from railways and the telegraph onwards have always attracted critics. Therefore, sooner or later, the doubters either convert, or die. 56. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Face-to-face conversations are better than social media. B. Social-media platforms bring more problems than benefits. C. Opinions are divided on the influences of social media. D. More people will be addicted to electronic products. 57. Which of the following statements is Daniel Miller likely to support? A. Selfies make people focus too much on attractiveness. B. Memes lower down traditional forms of public debate. C. Online images created for social-media are false. D. Not all received wisdom is true on social media. 58. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refers to . A. the way the team carried out their project B. the way the team analysed public postings C. the way the families lived in the communities D. the way the participants buried themselves 59. The miter’s attitude towards social media is . A. ambiguous B. positive C. unknown D. negative B Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to. The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed (有缺陷的) concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects? A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing. While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment. This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different. So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes—all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being. The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress. 60. Robert F. Kennedy is quoted because he . A. praised the UK for its GDP B. identified GDP with happiness C. misinterpreted the role of GDP D. had a low opinion of GDP 61. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that . A. the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern B. GDP as the measure of success is widely disapproved in the UK C. the UK will contribute less to the world economy D. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP 62. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study? A. It is sponsored by 163 countries. B. It excludes GDP as an indicator. C. Its criteria are questionable. D. Its results are enlightening. 63. In the last two paragraphs，the author suggests that . A. the UK is preparing for an economic boom B. high GDP foreshadows an economic decline C. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDP D. it requires caution to handle economic issues 64. Which of the fallowing is the best title for the text? A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK Lesson B. GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic Health C. Robert F. Kennedy, a Terminator of GDP D. Brexit, the UK’s Gateway to Well-being C Here’s a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this beautiful creature is on a diet. She mustn’t eat this and she mustn’t that. Oh, but of course, she don’t want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: it’s the surest way to an early grave (坟墓). They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again. What a miserable lot dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, bigger tummies (肚子) and double chins. Some declare all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna (桑拿) baths, being pummeled (击打) and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy dieters pay vast sums for health cures’. For two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred dollars a week. Don’t think it’s only the middle-aged who go in for these fads (时尚) either. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God. Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they’re always hungry. You can’t be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible mixtures they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. “Wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says, “Just dissolve (溶解) a teaspoonful in water…”. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they’re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may run out and swallow five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What torture (折磨) it is always watching others eating piles of mouth-watering food while you have a water biscuit and sip bitter lemon juice! What’s all this self-inflicted (自己造成的) torture for? Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings! 65. The underlined sentence “…he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come” indicates the boy . A. will not have the chance to see the girl again during the month to come B. will have little money to sustain life during the month to come C. will miss the girl very much during the month to come D. will hope to see the girl again during the month to come 66. Which of the following ways is NOT mentioned for controlling weight? A. Doing exercises. B. Not eating sugar. C. Not eating fat. D. Taking sauna baths. 67. What is the author’s attitude toward diet? A. Persuasive. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 68. The best title for this passage is . A. On Fat. B. We Should All Grow Fat and Be Happy. C. Many Diseases Are Connected with Fat. D. Diet Deprives People of Normal Life. 第?卷(主观题，共39分) 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单 词。注意:请将答案写在相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 Climate Change and Oilier Human Activities are Affecting Species Migration One of the reasons climate change is such an important topic is that it will affect the natural biological systems. Both plants and animals will have to respond to the changing climate. In some cases, this means adapting to higher temperatures. In other cases, the changes may be alterations in the rainfall, length of growing season, availability of resources, or other influences. While some animals can adapt, others will have to migrate. Obviously migration can be apparent in mobile animals that will move to maintain a more or less similar climate to which they are accustomed. But animal and plant movement does not occur in just a changing climate. It also has to make changes to the landscape that humans create. For instance, increased land allocation to agriculture or urbanization can create barriers for free migration. So, what scientists really want to know is how these two factors will affect the patterns of animal and plant movement. Researchers in a study projected changes in the distribution of climatically suitable zones for projected future climates. Using a computer model, they projected how and when the species would migrate and they tracked the migration routes. The study incorporated a resistance to movement based on the amount of human alteration to the landscape. The analysis was similar to how the flow of electrons through a wire circuit is calculated. In fact, electronic circuit theory formed a basis for the calculations. From their analysis, the authors identified several locations in North and South America that will be crucial for species movement in a changing climate. Large movements are expected in the southeastern US, the Amazon region, and parts of Brazil. Some of the areas where migration is expected have undamaged biological regions. Others, in particular the southeastern US and Brazil, have pathways that are heavily impacted by human activities, which may create a barrier to the migration routes. In the study, the team of scientists first identified what they call “climatically suitable” conditions for each of the species under a changing climate situation. They plotted routes for the species from areas that were projected to be unsuitable to these suitable areas. The routes were plotted so that they avoided the most heavily human-impacted regions. They then plotted the paths on a map for easy visualization. Some concrete and specific examples were provided. The authors have identified 14 biological regions and calculated the average direction of movement across each biome (生物群 系). Great visualizations are shown of paths of migrations, for instance, in the southeastern US. Climate Change and Other Human Activities are Affecting Species Migration ? There is a 70 of changes in the rainfall, length of growing season, availability The 69 of climate of resources, etc. change ? Some animals will have to adapt to higher temperatures.

Almost all the houses, factories and schools were destroyed. Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless. Worse still, the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city. Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement. The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company. Worse still，there were bills for them to pay - four children to care for and food to buy. Life was hard for them at that time. After the interview, the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company. “Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?” “Absolutely.” “But I can’t see any hope for the country at all. How can you be so certain about that?” “Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement? There was a vase of flowers. A nation, suffering at such moment, hasn’t forgotten about flowers. It shows that hopes are not lost. They are still able to dream. A nation with hope can create miracles. They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland.” 【写作内容】 1.用约30个词概括上文的主要内容。 2.用约120个词就“梦想改变命运”的话题谈谈你的想法，内容包括: (1)你赞同文中的观点吗, (2)举例 证明 住所证明下载场所使用证明下载诊断证明下载住所证明下载爱问住所证明下载爱问 你赞同或不赞同的原因; (3)谈谈你对梦想的看法。 【写作要求】 1.作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引 用原文中的句子。 2.作文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。 江苏省常熟中学2018届高三阶段性抽测二(12月) 英语试题答案 听力(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) 1 -5 ABCBA 6-10 BCCAA 11-15 BACBC 16 -20 BBAAB 单选题(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 21 -25 DCBAC 26 -30 DBBAC 31-35 ADACD 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) 36-40 ABDDA 41 -45 BADCB 46 -50 DCCAB 51 -55 ACDBC 阅读理解(共13小题;每小题2分，满分26分) 56 -59 CDAB 60-64 DBDCA 65 -68 BBBB 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 69. influences/impacts/effects 70. chance/possibility 71. choice/alternative/option 72.

Though living a poor life, the family still placed flowers on the table, which convinced a journalist that Germans were bound to rebuild their homeland. Personally, I do believe in the power of dreams. As a graduating student, I have been pursuing my academic dream for so long. Had it not been for my dream of admission to top university, I would not have come such a long way through hardships and failures, and would have already given up. The significance of dreams, indeed, cannot be overlooked. Dreams help set goals, without which life would otherwise lose direction; dreams bring about drive, motivating every individual to reach out for his achievements. On the other hand, important as they are, dreams are not the sole element necessary for personal success. Of all these necessary elements, I am firmly convinced that action will claim the title of the most important. After all, good ideas will lead to anywhere but success unless put into practice. I hold firmly that one is sure to succeed where dreams start. 听力原稿 Text 1 W: It’s already 9:00. I wonder if Tom will come. M: We were all supposed to be here at 8:30.

Text 10 You were in a serious situation. You need a friend. Your best friend is the one person you really needed and yet they weren’t there for you to support or help you. They were too busy with their own life no matter how hard you tried to explain the situation. You might be angry. How do you forgive your friend? Don’t react with hurtful words. The worst thing you could do in any situation is to criticize anyone. It only creates more hurt and anger and doesn’t make you feel any better. If you have to get angry at your friend then write it all down. A popular method of getting rid of anger towards another is to write them a letter telling them exactly how you feel. Then bum it. It can be a freeing thing to do. In addition, take a breath and take a moment. Find a quiet place if you are able to and breathe deeply for a few moments while you try to clear you mind. This is a gift to yourself. Listen to soothing music if it helps to clear your mind. This time can help you to stay calm and make some wise decision on how to handle the situation with your friend and begin to forgive them.
