passage coherent andgrammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of thegiven word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Imagine that you are 1 emergency physician like Harrison Alter or PatCroskerry.In most instances,you dont know the patients you see.So you have to rely on a snapshot viewof their illnessunlike an internist in his office,2 is familiar with his patientsand their families,knows their character and their behavior,and can observe the evolution of a clinicalproblem over time imagine that it is a typically busy evening,and the triagenurse 3（assign）three patients to you over a half-hour period.Each patient hasa host of complaints.Pat Crokerry told me that at moments like this hefeels 4 he is nplate-spinning on sticks1 like a circusperformer 5（use）sticks to spin plates without letting them slow down or fall.Actually,it is harder than spinning plates,because plate-spinning requires a single rotary motion andall the plates are of similar size and weight.Each patient,of course,is different,and for eachyou 6 have to go through different motions quickly to reach a workingdiagnosis,treat any urgent problems,and then decide on the safest disposition:admission to the hospital,transfer to another institution,7 discharge to home.Now consider what youmust do 8（meet）these goals of diagnosis,treatment,and disposition.Firstyou have to figure out the main reason each patient has come for emergency care.While that may seemstraightforward,it is not.Patients may give a triage nurse or a doctor a reason that is tangential to（不切题的）the real,9（serious）underlying problem,or they may offer the symptomsthat bother them most but may be unrelated to their underlying disease.All doctors work under timeconstraints,and this is especially true in the emergency department.So,as we saw with Alter,thequestions you choose to ask and 10 to ask them will shape the patienfsanswers and guide your thinking.You may go off on the tangent if you try to elicit a history too quickly,but you will neglect your other tasks if you take too long to hear what is wrong.二、选词填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）2、【来源】2021年上海高三高考模拟（进阶卷-优化模拟八）第 3140题 10分（每 题 1分）A.applauded B.avaihble C.brides D.lack E.includedF.options G.proposed H.representative 1.scale J.visibility K.walkYou rarely see female emojis（表情符号）of police officers,doctors and athletes when you are usingyour smartphone to text others.This is possibly because some people believe that women cannot be

work,as critics have spoken out about the 2 of emojis that represent professionalwomen.The Unicode Consortium,a non-profit organization that decides what new emojis willbe 3,has said that 33 existing

variety of skincolors by the end of the year.The plan is based on a proposal Google made in May,aiming to promote gender equality in theworkplace.No matter where you look,women are gaining 5 and

mentioned surveysshowing the growing importance of emojis in communication,especially for young women.Of thoseemoji users 78 percent of women are frequent emoji users,but only 60 percent of men are.Many have 8 Google and Unicode for promoting equality.UI think thatits great that theyve recently changed the skin colors and included gender equality in emojis,Aly Pirbay,15,told CBC News.In a blog post ahead of World Emoji Day on July 17,Google made it clear thatthe 9 changes could be included in future platform versions,and Google isworking to incorporate（包含）them into future versions of

篇）第 5659题 8 分（每题2 分）In an article some Chinese scholars are described as being tantalized by the mysterious dragon bonehieroglyphics.Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends ofthe past（in this case,Greek and Roman ones）.The meaning of the verb tantalize is a very particular one:to promise or show something desirable to a person and then take it away;to tease by arousing hope.Many（but not all）English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a words origins in brackets before orafter the explanation of the meaning.For tantalize the following explanation is given:Tantalus.This meansthat you should look up the name Tantalus to find out the words origins,and if you do,you will find outthat in Greek mythology,Tantalus was a king who was punished in the lower world with eternal hungerand thirst;he was put up to his chin in water that always moved away when he tried to drink it and withfruit on branches above him placed just a little bit out of his reach.Can you see why his name was changedinto a verb meaning to tease or torment by arousing desire?Another example is the word siren,familiar to us as the mechanical device that makes such analarming sound when police cars,ambulances,or fire engines approach.This word also has its origins inGreek mythology.The traveler Odysseus(Ulysses to the Romans)made his men plug their ears so thatthey wouldnt hear the dangerous voices of the sirens,creatures who were half bird and half woman andwho attracted sailors to their deaths on sharp rocks.So the word came to be associated both with a loudsound and with danger!When someone speaks of a jovial mood or a Herculean effort,he or she is using words withorigins in mythology.Look these words up to find their meaning and relationship to myths.Many common words,such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year,alsocome from mythology.Wednesday derives from the ancient Norse king of the gods,Woden,and Thursdaywas originally Thors day,in honour of Thor,the god of thunder.As a matter of fact,all the planets,exceptthe one we live on,bear names that come from Roman mythology,including the planet that is farthestaway from the sun and for that reason was called after the Roman god of the dead.This god has also givenhis name to one of the chemical elements.Several other elements have names that come from mythology,too.It seems that myths and legendslive on in the English language.(1)We learn from the passage,all English dictionaries include.A.legendsB.mythologyC.word originsD.word definitions(2)The example of tantalize is to show.A.how the word came into existenceB.how Tantalus was punished in the lower worldC.how a ll English dictionaries show word originsD.how the meaning of the word changed over the years(3)According to the passage,which of the following does NOT have origins in myths or legends?A.Jovial.B.Wednesday.C.Earth.D.March.（4）Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Greek and Roman My thology in Language.B.My thological Origins of English Words.C.Historical Changes in Word Meanings.D.My thology and Common Words.5、【来源】2021年上海高三高考 模 拟（B 篇）第 6062题 6 分（每题2 分）Kings College Summer SchoolKing*s College Summer School is an annual training program for high school students at all levelswho want to improve their

four-year-olds a piece of candyand watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see.Some last afew minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school,something remarkable has happened.A survey found thatthose who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation（诱惑）early were morelikely to be lonely,easily frustrated and inflexible（固守己见的）.Actually,the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn*t show up on anIQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns.But braintheory cant explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in theface of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman,writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes topredicting peoples success,brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities ofmind once thought of as character.EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they worktogether;how ones ability to handle stress,fbr instance,affects the ability to concentrate and putintelligence to use.Among the ingredients（要素）fbr success,researchers now generally agree that IQcounts for about 20%;the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally takenseriously,some few fear EQ invites misuse.（1）The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that .A.the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific ex perimentB.emotional intelligence w on t show up until adolescenceC.the ability of self-control play s a role in personal successD.candy can be used to measure a person，s emotional intelligence(2)Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A.There is no link betw een EQ and IQ.B.The higher a person s IQ is,the higher his or her EQ is.C.Some people can be blessed w ith lots of both,but some w ith little of either.D.Scientists are try ing to discover the w ay in w hich EQ and
