Officials in Germany and the Netherlands have announced plans to return art and artifacts (j£W) taken from Africa during the 31________ period. And more museum staff are meeting on the topic across Europe. According to the most commonly 32________ figures from UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), 90% to 95% of sub-Saharan cultural artifacts are 33________ outside Africa. Many were taken by force long ago and ended up in museums across Europe and North America. At the Africa Museum in Belgium, director Guido Gryseels says 85 percent of the museum’s collection comes from the Congo — the site of Belgium’s 34________ colony in Central Africa. For decades, Congolese leaders have asked for these objects to be returned. Most of their 35________ and those by African countries to other museums, have been refused. But recent events in Europe have 36________ the possibility of returns at a much larger scale. In addition to the plans announced in Germany, last year France conducted a study of how much African art French museums are holding and made 37________ about what to do with it The study recommended the return of a wide range of objects taken by force. The suggestion got mixed 38________ in France, where there are at least 90,000 African items in museums. In France, some people have suggested returns could leave shelves 39________ in French museums. Gdeile Fromont, a French historian of Central African art, says that’s not going to happen. One way of thinking about it, she says, is that more African art can go on display. However, Guido Gryseels of the Africa Museum in Belgium 40________ that attitudes are changing. He says he’s in discussion with the Congo to return works. 31-40 FDGHJ BIKAC 上海市奉贤区 2021 届高三下学期调研考试英语二模试卷 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

For decades, the government used “Holland” and “the Netherlands” 31________ to describe the country known for its iconic canals, tulip (郁金香) fields and windmills. But starting from Jan. 1, all official government communications and 32________ materials will use the Netherlands as its name. The government has been working on a campaign that might 33________ the country’s image in the face of growing international competition for the past 18 months, said Ingrid de Beer, the head of the public diplomacy section in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “Our international image faces some challenges,” she said. Research showed that many people do not know of the Netherlands or have 34________ concepts of the country. Young people, particularly those in countries farther away, are unfamiliar with the country. The Kingdom of the Netherlands consists of 12 provinces, two of which — Noord (North) Holland and Zuid (South) Holland — make up Holland. Amsterdam, which 35________ about 19 million travellers annually, and Keukenhof, one of the world’s largest flower gardens and a popular attraction, are both in the Holland region. The country’s tourism board, 36________ to handle millions of tourists, stopped promoting its most famous attractions in favor of trying to encourage travellers to go to lesser-known destinations, according to a 2019 report. By 2030, the report predicted, the Netherlands could see 37________ of up to 42 million tourists — an enormous number for a country of 17 million. The region of Holland has 38________ contributed the most to the country’s economy and wealth, resulting in its name commonly being used to indicate the entire country. But not anymore, the Dutch government insists. “We are fully aware that internationally, a strong image of the Netherlands contributes to achieving political objectives, promoting trade, attracting talent, investment and tourists and encouraging cultural and scientific 39________,” Ms. de Beer said. Part of the campaign includes an updated logo, a “NL” 40________ to look like an orange tulip, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The logo replaces the “Holland tulip,” which was created by the tourism board 25 years ago and used to promote the country. 31-40 JFBAI CHDEG 上海市松江区 2021 届高三下学期调研考试英语二模试卷 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Ned Lamont, Connecticut’s governor, has said “the old idea of the commuter (通勤者) going into New York City five days a week may be outdated.” It does seem 31________ that the tens of thousands commuting from Mr. Lamont’s state will continue to do so. The region’s governors have 32________ well together to deal with the pandemic (流行病), but the friendliness may soon end over taxes. When people from 33________ states like New Jersey and Connecticut commute to New York to work for a New York-based employer, they must pay New York tax on the related earned income. Even those who work from home must pay New York taxes unless the employee is working outside New York by 34________. Taxpayers and those states are looking closely at this loophole (漏洞). In December, Connecticut and New Jersey applied to the Supreme Court to consider a case which 35________ a state’s authority to tax non-residents’ income while they are working remotely. They think this is definitely a(n) 36________ to the city’s finances. “Firms have considered leaving the city before, and employees are gradually accepting the idea. They have been working remotely for almost ten months and they’ve 37________ to that idea.” Companies are also watching the progression of the Billionaire Mark to Market Tax Act, which would treat capital 38________ from billionaires’ property as taxable income. New York’s Democratic governor said he would reject any laws 39________ heavy taxes on the rich, because it would drive out wealthy, mobile residents. It would not take too many moving trucks for the city to feel the economic loss, says Michael Hendrix. A 5% 40________ of New Yorkers making about $10,000 would result in an annual loss of $933m—roughly the amount distributed to the city’s health department. 31-40.

It is one of the most important punctuation marks. A paragraph break is an indentation (缩进) or a single line space 31________ the division between one paragraph and the next in a body of text. Generally, paragraph breaks serve to 32________ the transition from one idea to another in a stretch of text, and from one speaker to another in an exchange of dialogue. Few readers would think of the paragraph break as a punctuation mark, but it certainly is. In ancient times there were no paragraphs. Sentences simply flowed into one another without 33________. During medieval (中世纪) times, the mark evolved into the paragraph symbol [¶] and eventually became the modern-day paragraph break, which is 34________ now only by a line break or indentation. Today, the paragraph break is used to give readers a break. The art of creating paragraphs is called paragraphing, the 35________ of dividing a text into paragraphs. Paragraphing is a kindness to your reader because it divides your thinking into manageable bites. Paragraphs that are too long 36________ readers with dense blocks of text to read through, while more frequent paragraphing provides readers with convenient 37________ points at which to take a break and relaunch themselves into thinking. To fully understand when to insert a paragraph break, it’s helpful to know that a paragraph is a group of closely related sentences that develop a central idea. Therefore, each paragraph discusses one 38________ topic. Also, a paragraph break is employed before each new topic is introduced. In this way, the writing will flow, and readers will be able to proceed through the writing in a logical fashion instead of 39________ all the way to get to the last line. Paragraphs used to be longer, but with the development of the Internet, which gives readers access to literally millions of sources of information, paragraphs have become increasingly 40________. The style for many websites, for example, uses paragraphs no more than two to three sentences. 31-40 EBDFG AHIJC 上海市宝山区 2021 届高三下学期调研考试英语二模试卷 II.

A. uncomfortable B. critically C. balance D. nonsense E. temptation F. responding G. effectively H. practice I. demands J. reasoning K. delivering Embrace the rule of awkward silence The rule of awkward silence is simple: When faced with a challenging question, instead of answering, pause and think deeply about how you want to answer. This is no short pause; rather, it involves taking several seconds (10, 20 or longer) to think things through before 31 . At Apple, Tim Cook has engaged in the 32 for years. Back in 2008, a Fortune article said that in meetings, Cook was "known for long, 33 pauses, when all you hear is the sound of his tearing the wrapper of the energy bars he constantlyeats." Cook isn't alone in embracing the rule of awkward silence. Steve Jobs once took almost 20 seconds to respond to a personal attack, 34 a perfect response. The rule of awkward silence has always been valuable as a tool of emotional intelligence because it allows you to 35 thought and emotion instead of simply reacting based on feeling. Why the rule of awkward silence is more valuable than ever. We live in a world that 36 instant satisfaction. Emails should be answered on the same day. Text messages should be answered right now. But there's a major problem with all of this immediate communication: It doesn't leave time tothink. As in, think 37 . Critical thinking calls for deep and careful consideration of a subject. It involves weighing and analyzing facts, and careful 38 . And it results in making insightful connections. None of this is possible without time.And time has become the biggest luxury on the planet. But when you embrace the rule of awkward silence, you steal back time. Time that used to be wasted on 39 answers. So, the next time someone asks you a challenging question, or even what seems on the surface to be a simple one, resist the 40 to respond with the first thing that comes to mind.Instead, embrace the rule of awkward silence, and think before you speak. 31-35 FHAKC 36-40 IBJDE
