Rising To the Challenge
Cyclists must dig deep to complete what’s been called the toughest climb in the world. They race
up to Wuling Peak to the finish line in the King of the Mountain (KOM) Challenge. Every October
some of the world’s best cyclists battle (21) ____ the title. Starting at sea level, the route climbs to
a height of 3, 275 meters at the end, covering 105 kilometers.
Ever since I started cycling seven years ago, completing the KOM climb (22) ____ (be) a goal of
mine. Every year I thought that I needed to prepare for it and used that as my excuse. But (23) ____
(look) back, I realize I would have been fine. Cycling uphill was no problem for me then- it was
thrilling. Now it’s exhausting.
Last summer I finally decided to take on Wuling with some friends. Our 89-kilometer route
started at the base of the mountain and was a little shorter than the official KOM race. But it’s the
final 10 kilometers (24) ____ are the most demanding: This is the steepest part, (25) ____ makes

We began early in the morning as a group of 17 riders. But only three of us would make it to the
top. A support car was necessary, especially on a ride like this, (26) ____ (help) keep us energetic.
The first part of the ride went through Taroko Valley, a magnificent park. I’ve hiked there, (27)

as I zipped through the valley and up the mountain road. Even though it was August, the weather
was perfect. Unfortunately, the support car that carried our lunch (28) _____ (delay). By the time it
arrived, I was starving. Being consumed of energy even for that short time affected the rest of my
ride. When the hard last 10 kilometers arrived, I really struggled to complete them. At one point I

Sense of smell is our most rapid warning system
“The human avoidance response to unpleasant smells associated with danger has long been seen
as a __31__ perceivable process, but our study shows for the first time that it’s unconscious and
extremely rapid,” says the study’s first author Behzad Iravani, researcher at the Department of
Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet.
The organ relating to the sense of smell takes up about five per cent of the human brain and
enables us to __32__ between many million different smells. A large proportion of these smells are
associated with a threat to our health and __33__, such as that of chemicals and rotten food. Smell
signals reach the brain within 100 to 150 milliseconds after being breathed in through the nose.
2021学年度宝山区第一学期期末高三年级英语学科教学质量监测试卷 第 3 页 共 15页
The survival of all living organisms depends on their ability to avoid danger and seek __34__. In
humans, the smell sense seems particularly important for detecting and reacting to __35__ harmful
substance.
It has long been a mystery just which sensory systems are involved in the change of an unpleasant
smell into avoidance behavior in humans. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now __36__ a
method that for the first time has made it possible to measure signals from the human smell organ,
which processes smells and in turn can __37__ signals to parts of the brain that control movement
and avoidance behavior.
Their __38__ are based on three experiments in which participants were asked to rate their
experience of six different smells, some positive, some negative, while the electrophysiological
activity of the smell organ when __39__ to each of the smells was measured.
“It was clear that the organ reacts specifically and __40__ to negative smells and sends a direct
signal to the outer layer of the organ within about 300 ms,” says the study’s last author Johan
Lundstr m. ” The signal causes the person to unconsciously lean back and away from the source of
the smell.”
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: 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.
While people who are both trustworthy and capable are the most sought after when it comes to
team assembly, friendliness and trustworthiness are often more important factors than ability.
“We assume that people are __41__ for important task forces and teams because of the knowledge,
skills and abilities they bring to the table. However, this research suggests that people may often get
picked because team members feel __42__ with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant professor of
organizational behavior and leadership in Binghamton University’s School of Management. “People
may be willing to __43__ a bit in terms of performance in order to have a really positive team
experience.”
Maupin and her colleagues focused on a group of MBA students to conduct their study. Students
were __44__ assigned to teams at the beginning of the semester to work on class projects and
assignments. Toward the end of the semester, students were asked to form their own teams and
__45__ why they selected each member of their group.
“We wanted to find out what people did to __46__ to others that they might be someone who
would be good to team up with in the future,” Maupin said.
The researchers __47__ looked at how students signaled their human capital, the ability to do
their tasks well, and their social capital, the __48__ to which they were friendly and trustworthy, to
other students by studying their use of either challenging or supportive voice:
● Challenging voice: Communicating in a way that challenges the present circumstances and is
__49__ new ideas and efficiency.
● Supportive voice: Communicating in a way that __50__ social ties and trust, and builds friendly
unity of a team.
The researchers found that people who __51__ both abilities, through the use of challenging voice,
and trustworthiness, through the use of supportive voice, were the most in-demand people when it
came to __52__ teams.
2021学年度宝山区第一学期期末高三年级英语学科教学质量监测试卷 第 4 页 共 15页
“As might be expected, anyone who was very strong in terms of signaling both their human and
social capital were extremely sought after. They’re doing all the right things to __53__ that they’re
both trustworthy and a good worker,” Maupin said.
However, the researchers found that students who only exhibited social capital through __54__
voice were more sought after than those who only signaled their ability through the use of
challenging voice.
“Our findings suggest that when people feel like they can trust you, even if you’re not __55__
the best worker, they’re going to be more likely to want to work with you,” Maupin said. “They
know that there are likely to be fewer interpersonal issues in that case.”examly.cn

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)
Early on, by age nine perhaps, I discovered my passion for both reading and writing fiction. The
discovery was sudden and unexpected: one very hot summer day in Birmingham (no air
conditioning), while reading, I realized I was trembling with cold. I had become caught up in a
Laura Ingalls Wilder description of a snowstorm. How is this possible I asked myself, and the
answer came immediately. It’s these words. Just these words have made me feel cold. Full of wonder
and admiration for Laura’s writing, I thought, I’d like to be able to do that someday.
Nonetheless, I found myself beginning college as a premedical student with the intention of
becoming a doctor. You see, I wanted to do good, or to be a good person, one devoted to the welfare
of others. And what of my own love of reading and my interest in imaginative writing Both still
gave me immense pleasure, though I was failing chemistry. But what good is literature I asked
myself. And I asked my serious-minded student friends the same question. To spend my life merely
doing what I loved seemed unacceptably self-centered.
2021学年度宝山区第一学期期末高三年级英语学科教学质量监测试卷 第 5 页 共 15页
One day in a literature class at my small, excellent liberal arts college, the knowledgeable
professor, who was also dean of the college, posed a question that none of us could answer: “In what
way are Huck of Huckleberry Finn and Pip of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations alike ” While
I did not know the answer, what I did know—in a strange flash of awareness—was that whatever
the answer, it would be of crucial importance to the young man sitting across the corridor from me.
And who was he A brilliant person, a troubled person for all his brilliance, someone I loved and
admired.
The professor answered his own question. “Both are boys in search of a father.” And I knew my
friend across the corridor, through literature, suddenly understood his own confusion. He knew in
an instinctive way something of vital importance. What was true of those fictive boys was also true
of him: he needed to become a guiding father to himself.
The class was over. As my friend Dwight and I walked out the door together into the hall, he said
without looking at me, “And how can you doubt, Sena, that literature can do good in the world ”
Without looking at him, but sure both his eyes and my eyes were shined with tears, I replied, “I
know. I know.” I knew that literature could and does make ideas and feelings real, dramatic, and
accessible in a way that enhances the quality of our lives.
And so I gave myself permission to embrace a literary life, both as reader and as writer. If
something I might come to write offered one wonderful person a new and needed perspective, then
I could justify choosing a life for myself in literature.
That was all a very long time ago, about half a century ago. My friend would die in an auto
accident before he was twenty-one. And I would live to be extraordinarily happy in my choice of
professions.
This I believe: that the arts must be a part of education at all levels, that the arts can and do offer
us not only pleasure but also invaluable insights into ourselves and our world.
56. What was the embarrassing situation Sena the author of the passage faced
A. She was attracted by Laura’s writing but felt extremely cold.
B. She did not know how to answer the question but it was important.
C. She loved literature but wanted to do something good for humanity.
D. She admired her brilliant friend Dwight but he died in an accident.
57. The author of the passage mentioned her friend Dwight to demonstrate_______.
A. only he could answer the professor’s question
B. he was the very person she loved and admired
C. literature becomes a guiding father to himself
D. literature offers us priceless insights into ourselves
58. It can be concluded that the author decided to_______.
A. follow her passion for being a doctor
B. devote herself to literature in her life
C. be a reader to enhance the quality of her life
D. be a doctor and engaged in literature sometimes
59. What might be the best title for the passage
A. A life in literature B. A medical career
C. An unforgettable lesson D. An unexpected accident

(B)
Even if the world makes it hard to relax, we all need to find a way to reset and recharge. We go
through life thinking we’ve rested because we have gotten enough sleep―but in reality we are
missing out on the other types of rest we desperately need. Saudra Dalton-Smith, a physician,
outlines different types of rest that are essential for human growing.
Physical rest
This is the usual definition of rest were a familiar with. But while we know
we need to spend a decent number of hours in bed to stay healthy, a steady
persistent support of studies shows a large proportion of us still don’t get
enough physical rest.
Mental rest
Always have a tornado of thoughts spinning in your head from the
moment you wake up to the moment you finally fall asleep You need more
mental rest, and even if you sleep a solid eight hours a night, you’re not
going to feel fully recharged until you get it.
“The good news is you don’t have to quit your job or go on vacation to fix this. Schedule short
breaks to occur every two hours throughout your workday these breaks can remind you to slow
down. You might also keep a notepad by the bed to write down any painful thoughts that would
keep you awake,” suggests Dalton-smith.
Sensory rest
Staring at screens all day and all night means your eyes never get a
proper rest, but this isn’t the only reason many of us never give our senses
a break. Noisy cites, sharp sound announcements and loud music all
contribute to constant sensory stimulation. Your brain needs a rest now
and again. Consciously close your eyes and give yourself the gift of
silence for short periods throughout the day.
Emotional rest
This “means having the time and space to freely express your feelings
and cut back on people-pleasing,” Dalton-smith explains. “Emotional
rest also requires the courage to be genuine. An emotionally rested
person can answer the question, ‘How are you today ’ with a truthful
‘I’m not okay’-and then go on to share some hard things that otherwise go unsaid.”
In other words, we all need the space to stop pretending for ourselves and others and get real
about our feelings.
60. Which of the following statement is true about the types of rest mentioned in the passage
A. Physical rest means lying in bed for a proper period and exercising.
B. Mental rest indicates resting every two hours when you’re working.
C. Sensory rest means keeping silent frequently and staring at screens.
D. Emotional rest means pretending to share private affairs with others.
61. What type of rest do you need most if you’re working with a computer in an office
A. Physical rest B. Mental rest C. Sensory rest D. Emotional rest

62. It can be concluded that if a person feels tired, he should____.
A. try to identify just what sort of rest he’s lacking exactly
B. spend some time with those who can energize him
C. have the four types of rest mentioned in the passage in order
D. have a need to feel connected to something larger than himself
(C)
Transhumanism, first coined in 1957 by biologist Julian Huxley, meant “man remaining man,
but going beyond himself by realizing new possibilities of and for his human nature.” Generally
speaking, transhumanism in its modern meaning implies that human beings can be enhanced by the
means of science to the extent when they rise above biological limitations and capabilities
programmed by nature. The species into which humanity transforms this way will be called post
human, or trans human, as it would have be something new—based on human nature, but going
beyond it at the same time.
There are numerous areas which, according to transhumanists, require enhancement, as well as
there are countless proposals on the means of such enhancement. In particular, transhumanists work
on such problems as overcoming the physical boundaries of the human body. Starting with aging,
which they believe to be rather a disease than a natural process, and ending up with replacing organs
with their artificial ones, transhumanists believe that the human body is imperfect, and that it should
be improved. All kinds of nanotechnologies for repairing damaged organs; nerve stimulants and
drugs to alter mood and eliminate negative emotions; brain implants and implanted technologies to
allow interconnectivity between multiple human beings and to advance intelligence—these and
many more actions are just some of the means transhumanists plan to use to make humanity better.
Some of the technologies transhumanists plan to employ to push the boundaries of humanity are
available already. For example, gene therapy allowing to cure or stop certain diseases that were
considered terminal; CRISPRi or SHARP-2 methods, which were discovered not so long ago, have
already proved to be efficient in treating a number of complicated medical conditions, and in case
further research is conducted, they might significantly improve the quality of medicine worldwide.
Virtual reality, another technology from science-fiction movies of the late 1980s, has become not so
virtual either, after all. VR device can be easily purchased from online stores, and the prices are
affordable—given that we are speaking of technology capable of substituting actual reality. So far,
it has been mostly used for games and education, but in the future, the range of its useful applications
will definitely broaden. Other technologies, which have not yet been invented but which definitely
will, include large scale engineering, self-copying robotics, artificial intelligence, mind uploading
technologies, molecular manufacturing, space colonization, and other technological wonders.
About a hundred years ago, the idea of flying in the skies seemed absurd, until Wilbur and Orville
Wright proved this assumption wrong. Who knows, perhaps in a couple of decades the concepts
listed here, no matter how fantastic they look now, will become reality. Moral aspects and the price
humanity will have to pay for such advancements are a different subject.
63. Which of the following statements is true about transhumanism
A. Promoting human health but remaining their physical appearances
B. Improving the human condition through social and cultural change
C. Developing human beings beyond their natural capabilities by technology.
D. Going beyond human beings physical limitations through natural evolution.
64. Transhumanists’ plan is based on the belief that _________.
A. replacing organs with their artificial ones is ideal
B. aging is rather a disease than a natural process
C. it’s practical to use nanotechnologies to improve life
D. the human body is imperfect and needs improvement

C. proposals on the human beings enhancement

Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. 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. Besides, you might have noticed how unwilling you may be when having to apologize in front
of a different person–even if it was you who were wrong.
B. This varies depending on the weight of a decision that needs to be made.
C. Unlike many people got used to believing, procrastination is not a negative feature of character
such as laziness.
D. Usually, people tend to see procrastination as something bad.
E. In fact, procrastinating in this case is also beneficial.
F. A pressing matter, an urgent document that needs to be written by the end of the day, an
especially difficult piece of work, whatever.
Why You Should Not Worry About Procrastination
Perhaps every person on Earth has at least once been in a situation when he or she has an urgent
task to do, but instead of challenging it head on, he or she postpones working on this task for as long
as possible. This delay can take various forms: from doing nothing, to doing a lot of work–just not
the work that should be done. The phenomenon described here is called procrastination, and its roots
go much deeper than mere laziness.
(67)_________________. They invent dozens of strategies how to stop procrastinating and
increase their efficiency, forgetting about the fact that like many other psychological mechanisms,
procrastination serves its own purpose, and probably even carries a message worth decoding. So,
instead of blaming yourself for being lazy, the next time you procrastinate, try to look past it, and
figure out what is happening to you. Most likely, procrastination is your friend. Why
There are several arguments proving this statement. First of all, it helps you figure out your most
pressing priorities. Usually, you will not procrastinate over some minor task such as sharpening a
pencil or drinking a glass of water. Problems start when there is something important or difficult
that needs to be done. Reasons keeping you from doing work can be different, but here is a clue to
remember: try to figure out what exactly makes you avoid–as a rule, it should be exactly what your
top priority task is at the moment. (68)_________________. On the other hand, procrastination may
serve you as an indicator that you are doing something wrong, or that you are pushing yourself too
hard and need to take some time to rest. Either way, the means you use to overcome procrastination
is a different story; so far, try seeing procrastination as a marker, an index–and you will discover
that it can be quite useful.
Surprisingly enough, procrastination can even help you fix a relationship with another person. If
you had a fight, for example, there is a period of time when whatever you say to each other will
most likely be perceived with skepticism or even hostility. (69)_________________. In this case,
procrastination may give you enough time to make up your mind, find your courage, and think of
the proper words or actions for an apology. The same works for another person: after a cool down
period, he or she will be more susceptible to what you have to say. Use this to your advantage.

As we can see, procrastination is not necessarily a bad thing. (70) _________________. But it is
rather a psychological instrument, the main function of which is to slow you down and give you
enough time to sort out your priorities, gather information before making an important decision, or
finding proper words to make your amends with another person. Thus, instead of avoiding and
denying procrastination, you might want to embrace it–at least sometimes.examly.cn
IV. Summary Writing
71. 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.
Romantic Attraction
Sometimes, it seems we are attracted towards people romantically in a puzzling manner. We see
someone and our romantic side bursts out. However, it is not a mystery to science and people who
study sociology. There are definite causes as to why people become romantically attracted to each
other. These factors are, similarity, communication, and honesty.
Though people often say opposites attract, similarity often connects individuals in a romantic way.
In fact, based on research done by the University of Colorado Boulder, we tend to choose partners
who have a similar DNA to ours. Of course we cannot examine the DNA of others readily, but we
can naturally “feel” if people are a genetic match for us.
Communication is another essential factor in the romantic attraction way. If we feel a deep
connection to someone through the ease of talking with them, we are much more likely to be
attracted to that person. It is difficult to be romantically involved with someone you can barely
communicate with. And as a side note, there are people we are not attracted to each other in
appearance, but after communicating with them for some time, we suddenly become romantically
interested in them.
Friends often connect through noticing the honesty of others, but this also lends to romantic
attraction. According to Kelly Campbell, PhD, “Chemistry occurs most often between people who
are down-to-earth and sincere. This is because if a person is comfortable with themselves, they are
better able to express their true self to the world, which makes it easier to get to know them, even if
perspectives on important matters differed”. This adds to the perspective that easy communication
between people contributes to romantic attraction.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you
will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the longer conversation. The passages
and the longer conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When
you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be
the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 1l through13 are based on the following passage.
Clubhouse is the latest app that is taking the world by storm. It consists of rooms where people
talk about set topics over audio only. You start off as a listener, so you aren’t able to speak right
away. But sometimes the best way to learn is to slow down and just listen. Then you can quietly
consider what people say about their work, lives and experiences. You just might discover something
new.
These days people have more online friends than ever yet are still lonely. Clubhouse stands out
from other apps in the way it helps users engage with others. They can laugh over common interests
or have deep discussions. They can feel heard and appreciated. Without video, they can even drop
some of their insecurities and say what they’re feeling.
Yet with this safe space for expression, problems can occur, too. In a place where you can say
anything, some don’t use their freedom rightly. Hateful speech and false statements have become a
problem as Clubhouse's membership has grown. Moving forward, it is important for Clubhouse to
find a way to track discussions and protect users.
This app will likely continue to have a great impact. Only time will tell whether that impact is
helpful or harmful.
(Now listen again please.)
11. Which of the following is allowed after the users join Clubhouse
12. Why is Clubhouse popular with its users
13. What improvement does Clubhouse need to make according to the speaker
Questions14 through16 are based on the following passage.
One of the best skills you can learn in life is how to make good decisions. Why Because bad
decisions lead to disappointment and pain. Good decisions, on the other hand, make you feel happy
and successful.
So what factors go into making a good decision There are three to consider. First, you need to
realize that every action has a consequence. You shouldn’t make a big decision quickly. Second, talk
2021学年度宝山区第一学期期末高三年级英语学科教学质量监测试卷 第 13 页 共 15页
to others, especially those who are older and wiser than you. They can give you helpful advice. And
finally, check your conscience. Be sure that you can feel proud of the decision you are going to
make.
When it comes to decisions, many people hesitate to make them. They may be scared of making
a mistake. They may be afraid of what other people will think of their choice. If you need help
making a decision, use the following four steps.
First, you need to define the problem you are facing. The next step is to think carefully about the
decision and brainstorm your choices. Third, you have to determine what is right for you. And finally,
act on your decision as soon as possible.
(Now listen again please.)

14. What does the speaker say about factors to consider when making a good decision
15. What does the speaker advise you to do when you need help making a decision
16. What’s the speaker mainly talking about
Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hey, Celia, do you want to go see a movie tomorrow
W: Sorry, Ian, I can’t. I have a lot of studying to do, so I’ll be at the Comfort Cafe all day.
M: Hey! Why don’t you come study with me at the library You know- near the books and other
hardworking students
W: I don’t like studying at the library. My favorite place to study is at a coffee shop.
M: Why You can’t concentrate in a coffee shop. People are always walking in and out, and the
coffee machine is so loud! Plus there are always people talking!
W: People are usually pretty respectful at the Comfort Cafe. Besides, I like having a little bit of
background noise when I study. The library is too quiet.
M: I don’t think it’s possible for a study spot to be too quiet. When I’m studying, total silence is
what helps me concentrate.
W: Coffee is what helps me concentrate. Drinking coffee keeps me alert, and it also improves my
memory.
M: Too much coffee makes me feel sick and anxious.
W: Studying at the library makes me anxious. I can just feel the anxiety of all the students studying
for tests.
M: That doesn’t affect me.
W: Well, it does affect me. The relaxed atmosphere of a coffee shop helps me relax. A change of
scenery really helps when you have a lot to do.
M: That’s why I like the library. Books are my favorite scenery!
W: Coffee machines and comfortable chairs are my favorite scenery. As soon as I smell the coffee,
I know it’s going to be a productive day.
M: I have an idea. Next time I have an exam, I’ll try studying in a coffee shop. And you can give
the library another shot, Then we’ll know which one is better.
W: Well, I guess I can try it. As long as I can take a cup of coffee with me!
M: And I’II take my noise-canceling headphones to the coffee shop!
