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.
A.
But
legislation
(
法律
)
won’t ban all situations in which
multitasking is unwise.
B.
They multitask for efficiency, to fight boredom or
to keep up with social media.
C. Forty-
eight states have banned texting while driving.
D. However, texting while biking seems
so undemanding as to be harmless.
E.
They damage driving equivalently as far as
external dangers go.
F. Instead of
multitasking, they take more rest breaks and get a
social media fix during a break.
Is Multitasking Always
Good?
Not
only
do
smartphones
provide
unrestricted
access
to
information,
they
provide
perfect
opportunities
to
multitask.
Any
activity
can
be
accompanied
by
music,
selfies
or
social
media
updates. Of course, some people pick
poor times to tweet or text, and lawmakers have
stepped in.
___67___
In
Honolulu, it’s illegal to text or even look at
your phone while crossing the street, and
in the Netherlands they’ve banned
texting while biking.
___68___You need to self-regulate.
Understanding how the brain multitasks and why we
find
multitasking so appealing will
help you realize the danger of pulling out your
phone.
Multitasking
feels
like
doing
two
things
at
the
same
time,
so
it
seems
the
danger
lies
in
asking one mental process to do two
unrelated things
—
for
texting drivers, watching the screen
and the road.
Twenty states have instituted bans on
driving using a hand-held phone while still
allowing
hands-free calls. Yet hands-
free or hand-held makes no difference. ___69___The
real problem is
the switch of attention
between the conversation and the road, and that
affects performance.
People
sense
this,
and
when
on
the
phone
they
drive
slower
and
increase
their
following
distance,
but
they
are
far
too
confident
that
these
measures
reduce
risks.
This
overconfidence
extends to
other activities. A 2015 survey showed that a
majority of students who use social media,
text
or
watch
TV
while
studying
think
that
they
can
still
comprehend
the
material
they’re
studying.

People
don’t
multitask
merely
bec
ause
they
see
no
harm
in
it;
they
see
benefits.
___70___Most people will
still choose to multitask. But they
should, at the very
least,
be fully
aware of how that choice
affects them and the potential consequences for
themselves and others.
They need to pay
attention to how much
—
or
how little
—
they are paying
attention.

box. Each sentence can be used only
once. Note that there are two more sentences than
you need.
A.
Many options require city-level investment in new
facilities.
B. However, it is not yet
clear which technologies and fuels cities will
back.
C. Through their actions, city
governments today are helping to shape the cities
of the future.
D. For
example,
London is
requiring
all newly licensed taxis to be zero-emission
capable from
2018.
E. City
planners are using transport-oriented development
to increase density while maintaining
quality of life and property value.
F. Some cities, such as Delhi, are
investing heavily in creating the mass transport
systems needed
to change how citizens
travel.
Sustainable Transport in Cities
Transport

In
Medieval

Many
North
American
cities
were
created

But
how
are
the
cities

being shaped by a need for more sustainable
transport?
Many

are
speeding
up

through
policy
initiatives
such
as

emission zones, sustainable gaining and lifecycle

policies can move markets

more
sustainable
directions.
___67___
This
has
resulted
in
five
vehicle
manufacturers
committing to meeting that deadline,
which is both in their own commercial interests
and good for
the environment.
The
least

(

)
carbon
emissions
nearly
ten
times
higher
than
the

around
a
key
transport
center,
as
with
the
KL
Central
area
in
Kuala
Lumpur,
built around the largest railway station in
Southeast Asia.
___69___
Others
are
using
motivations
and
behavioural
change
to
encourage
people
to
choose
more
efficient―and
often
healthier―forms
of
transport.
Copenhagen
has
a
number
of
progressive cycling policies including
the Green Wave, which allows people cycling at
20km/h to
hit all green lights during
rush hour.
Light weighting
and new engine and fuel technologies are helping
to make existing road and
rail
vehicles
more
efficient.

The
main
options
are
hydrogen
fuel
cells,
fossil

The
Ban on Trading Ivory(

Unfair but Necessary
3

届上海市各区高三英语一模试卷题型分类专题汇编终结版:六选
四
As
in
some
countries
elephant
population
have
recovered,
there
are
competing
proposals
about how absolute the ban on elephant
trading should be. Countries seeking a modest
relaxation
have a strong case to make.
But it is not strong enough. The ban must stay.
Understandably,
countries
that
have
done
a
good
job
protecting
their
elephants
feel
this
is
unfair.
___67___
And
the
real
burden
of
all
this
is
borne
by
poor
local
people
who
are
in
competition
with
wildlife
for
resources,
and
sometimes
in
conflict
with
it
—
elephants
can
be
destructive. People and governments, so
the argument goes, need to have an economic
stake(
利害
关系
) in
the elephants’ survival. The ivory
trade would give them one.
To
understand
why
these
reasonable-sounding
proposals
should
be
rejected,
consider
what
has
happened
to
elephant
numbers
since
some
legal
trade
was
authorised,
when
Botswana,
Namibia
and
South
Africa
were
allowed
in
2007
to
sell
a
fixed
amount
of
ivory
to
Japan.
___68___.
A survey conducted in 2014-15 estimated
that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18
countries since 2007.
___69___.
In
better-resourced
national
parks,
drones
are
used
to
make
it
easier
for
park
keepers to spot illegal
hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where
they came from, and thus
whether
they
are
legal.
As
prices
of
the
technologies
fall
and
countries
get
richer,
both
technologies are likely to spread.
The
objection
to
trade
in
products
of
endangered
species
is
not
moral.
When
the
world
is
confident that it will boost elephant
numbers rather than wipe them out, the ivory trade
should be
encouraged.
___70___
And
until
it
does,
the
best
hope
for
the
elephant
—
and
even
more
endangered species, such as rhinos(
犀牛
)
—
lies
not in easing the ban on trading their products,
but
in enforcing it better.

A. So we try
to push back the tide and keep up by multi -
tasking.
B. No wonder
people say they’re too busy to see friends,
exercise or sleep.
C. Would
it surprise you to hear that we have more leisure
time today than ever?
D. How can we
learn to spend time in a way that’s more likely to
lead to happiness and success?
E. It’s something that economist have
been puzzling over and they’ve identified several
reasons.
F. Then you will
have fewer empty experiences and far ore that are
worthy of your precious time.
The Fullness of
Time
Most of us think we have very
little time, but the truth is we actually have a
lot - on average,
five hours 49 minutes
each day, which means we typically have somewhere
between 36 and 40
hours
available
to
be
spent
every
week
however
we
want.
So
why
don’t
we
feel
time
-
rich?
_____67_____
One is that we
earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then
there’s the way we’ve come to
see
busyness as a status symbol: important people are
busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to
that the flood of incoming emails and
texts, along with the endless oc
ean of
possibilities, and it’s
easy to see
where time goes.
A
second
factor
is
the
comparison
we
make
between what
we
can
do
and
what
others
are
doing, making us
anxious. ____68____ This fools us into thinking
we’re being more productive
with our
work time, so we try to do it with our leisure
tim
e, too. When we’re playing
with
out kids,
we check
Facebook. When we’re hanging out with one group of
friends, we post pictures to show
another. This is something sociologists
call ‘polluted time’.
We’re
also addic
ted to our devices. In 2007,
the amount of leisure time we spent on devices
like
smart-phones
could
be
measured
in
minutes.
Now,
we
spend
on
average
3.5
hours
a
day
online.
____69____
You might be wondering why
you need help deciding how to spend your free time
-- after all
you
know
the
sort
of
things
you
enjoy,
so
what
could
be
so
difficult?
Psychologist
Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi
has
a
surprising
opinion
on
it.
“The
popular
assumption
is
that
no
skills
are
involved in enjoying
free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence
suggests the opposite; free
time is
more difficult to enjoy than work.” Worryingly,
scientists have found that people are often
no happier after a holiday than if
they’d never taken one. ____70____ The question

A.
Creativity is associated with many factors.
B. Rather, they should work to expand,

D. However, creativity can be

E. It’s hard to

F. Everyone has the capacity to

Essential Creativity
In
a
recent
survey
in
America,
62%
of
people
said
that
creativity
was
more
important
to
success in the workplace than they had
anticipated it would be when they were in school.
____67
____
It
is
of
course possible
to
scan people’s
brains
and
see
which
part
s
are
firing
when an idea is
created, but rather more romantically it can be
thought of as something that cannot
be
identified.
Creativity
is
what
comes
to
you
when
you
least
expect
it.
You
cannot
demand
creativity from your
mind, nor can you demand that you are creative in
a particular way.
One
misconception about creativity is that it is
reserved for a few special people. This is not
true.
____68____
Another misconception is that creativity is all
about the arts but this simply
isn’t
true: creativity ex
tends to maths and
science in just the way it does to music and
literature.
Those
who
see
things
differently
to
others
and
are
confident
enough
to
make
their
ideas
a
reality
are
the
ones
who
make
the
greatest
changes
in
the
world.
Consequently,
it
is
incredibly
important
that
schools
do
not
prevent
creativity.
____69____
Students
should
be
taught
to
ask
questions
and investigate when things do not make sense.
They need to learn to view mistakes as
6
2020
届上海市各区高三英语一模试卷题型分类专题汇编终结版:六选四
opportunities for learning rather than
something that was unsuccessful.
It is
worrying that many schools are less concerned now
with nurturing creativity when this is
the most important time in history for
it. It used to be that people worked hard, went to
university,
and got a job. That was it.
But now, everyone works hard, goes to university
—
and there
aren’t
the jobs out there that
guarantee a safe future. ____70____ We can use it
to set ourselves apart,
and channel it
to face the challenges of the future.

the question:
the
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
___67___
Like
the
child
on

diving
board,
you
will
stay
undecided.
___68___
More
than
that,
how
should
you
stay
motivated
to
achieve
the
goal?
First,
you
need
to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths,
your weaknesses, your achievements, your
desires, etc. Only then should you set
your goals.
You
also
need
to
judge
the
quality
and
depth
of
your
motivation.
This
is
quite
important,
because it is
directly related to your commitment. There are
times when your heart is not in your
7
2020

work.
___69___ So, slow down and think what you really
want to do at that moment. Clarity of
thoughts can help you move forward.
Another
way
of
setting
realistic
goals
is
to
analyze
your
short
and
long
term
objectives,
keeping in mind your beliefs, values
and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible.
They can
change according to
circumstances. They also need to be measurable.
You must keep these points
in mind
while setting your goals.
Your personal
circumstances are equally important. For example,
you may want to be a Pilot
but can't
become one because your eyesight is not good
enough. ___70___ You should reassess
your goals, and motivate yourself to
set a fresh goal.
You will surely need
to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but
most unplanned. You
cannot overcome
them without ample motivation. Make sure that you
plan for these difficulties at
the time
of setting your goals.

But
in
2008,
Cowan's

in
Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with
age for $$2,350.
What was so

containing
the
lemon,
the
fruit
was
picked
in
May
1842

Two thousand dollars is a lot to pay

father.
This
sale,
however,
just
might

considered
a
bargain
compared
with
prices
paid
for
other
historical collectibles in recent
years.
68
Collecting a piece of history, or an
object associated with a famous person, is not
brand new.
Ordinary
objects
with

auction
and
achieving
high
prices,

director

and
manuscripts
in
London.
Prices
are
being
driven
up,
he
says,
by
collectors
in
the
U.S.
and,
increasingly, in Asia. The Hawking
wheelchair, for example, was purchased by a
private museum
in China.
69
For
one
thing,
their
history
of
ownership
is
both
crucial
and
sometimes
difficult
to
prove.
Photographs
of
the
famous
person
with
the
object,
as
well
as
documentation
(such
as
letters,
diaries
or
recollections
by
acquaintances
referring
to
the
object)
can
also
help.
___70___ To evaluate the value of a
Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices
paid for other
Picasso paintings of the
same period, similar size or style. Finding
another recent sale of a lemon
planted

Katie

head
of
Cowan's
American
History
department,
says
she
could
find
no
comparable
items
for
the
lemon
as
she
prepared
the
piece
for
its
auction.
Ms.
Horstman
nevertheless
eventually arrived at the estimated value at
$$3,000 to $$4,000, she says, by researching
auction records for objects somehow
associated with Washington that had appeared on

up
estimating
the
value
