I am an e-mail user. When I first started to use the e-mail system I used to read all my e-mail. I didn』t have much mail. I was very excited about receiving any e-mail. I gave my friends my e-mail address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail (垃圾郵件). I was worried. I didn』t want my mail to control me.

I』ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15-20 minutes every day to process my e-mail. This doesn』t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete them.
Sometimes I』m not at all interested in a message, so I don』t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.
These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time, they teach me new tricks for managing my e-mail. I』ve also learned to transfer (轉存) some messages to a disk so they don』t fill up my mail files (文件夾). Then I can read them later and maybe use them in my work. I』m still amazed at what e-mail can do for me! I』m still worried, however, about having too much to read.
78. The writer used to read all his e-mail because he didn』t have much mail.
79. After giving his friends his e-mail address the writer had more mail than he wanted.
80. Sometimes the writer checks his mail in the morning and sometimes in the evening.
81. The writer always spends less than 15 minutes processing his e-mail.
82. Sometimes the writer doesn』t open the mail because he is not at all interested in it.
83. The writer teaches his friends how to manage their e-mail.

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the 『Happy Birthday』 song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child』s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侶) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (儀式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional 『coming of age』— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote (選舉), join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas for inventions that change the world or, at least, make life easier for somebody? P 97 we all do sometimes, but we don』t often make the idea a real thing. Recently, there was a competition in a country, which encouraged young people to make their bright ideas come true. There were t 98 groups in the contest: Group A was for school children under 16; Group B was for those o 99 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was c 100 「Sunshine Superman」 by one newspaper writing about his design. When people study the weather, it』s important to be able to record the sunshine accurately. We need to know how many h 101 of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders o 102 record direct (直接的) sunshine. Neil』s is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power. Neil plans to keep inventing.
The ideas in the competition were so g 103 that we are surprised that the instry (工業界) doesn』t ask more school children for suggestions.
F. Answer the questions（根據短文內容回答下列問題): ( 12分)
English is an important international language, but that doesn』t mean it』s easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn — but they weren』t always successful.
In 1930, Professor C.K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn』t understand the answers in 『real』 English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn』t in the Basic English word list.

R.E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language with the name Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. 『Father』 became 『faadher』, 『new』 became 『nue』 and 『years』 became 『yeerz』. Unluckily, Anglic never became popular.
In the age of international communication through the Internet, who knows what will happen? ... a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world』s e-mails are in English and include (包括) examples of 『NetLingo』 like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English might not be used. We might all speak fluent Internetish!

上海市中考 作文：

2015中考作文話題是「做一個文明中學生最重要的什麼」，體現了「」，話題具有開放性，使得不同水平的考生都有可寫的東西。考生的最後一段應升華主題，扣題，表達自己的深度感受。

2015中考已經落幕，對於的中考生來講，備戰中考應該是提上日程的事情了。下面給2016中考生一些備考建議：

上海市中考 聽力：

一套完整的聽力試題，音頻時間大概在17－18分鍾。建議考生在沖刺階段，保證每天或每兩天進行一套聽力試題的整體訓練。

有些高端考生認為聽力題過於簡單，就沒有引起足夠大重視，導致中考時出現不應有的低級錯誤。建議考生在語音、關鍵詞和上下文理解上下功夫，平時多聽多練。有些文章篇幅長，信息量大，讓低端考生無所適從，這部分考生還是要從詞彙和關鍵詞入手，提高提取信息的能力。聽力獨白題對考生的記憶理解能力要求較高，要求考生既能掌握詞語的主旨大意，也要獲得有效的事實細節，還要進行簡單的推斷。聽對話記錄關鍵信息這類題，文章的詞彙量較大，其中還會出現生詞和一切補充詞彙，建議考生在提升提取細節信息能力的同時，還要指導學生多關注語境中語境的詞義理解，對補充詞彙也不容忽視。最後沖刺階段考生應加大聽力訓練力度和難度，熟悉運用高頻詞彙。分類詞彙的拼寫也至關重要。

上海市中考 閱讀理解：

中考閱讀理解題型的文章選材多源於英美原版文章。閱讀語篇選材真實、語言地道、內容鮮活、貼近學生的生活與成長過程；閱讀素材的選取注重以人為本，活潑新穎更加親民。

從能力立意角度出發，考生應具備閱讀和理解不同文體語篇的能力。其中，人物故事；科普知識與現代技術；人際交往；品格習慣；語言學習；自然、世界與環境；歷史與社會；衛生、健康與文體；旅遊、交通與通訊以及實用性文體的閱讀是常考的話題素材。

閱讀理解要求考生對文化差異性把控、閱讀速度提升和理解能力提高。考生應具備深層次閱讀的能力，根據上下文和構詞法推斷、理解生詞含義；考生應在閱讀中關注詞語在語境中的含義，多讀原版文章。對於閱讀選擇中的細節題，考生應保證一定的題量訓練，做到考試時萬無一失，力爭滿分。在閱讀選擇的能力題方面，對於考生也是一種耐心的考驗。大部分考生表現出深層閱讀能力較為薄弱的特點：考生應根據上下文具備理解生詞含義的能力、理解歸納文章的主旨要義、為文章選合適題目的能力。

閱讀短文回答問題：此類題在考查考生的閱讀能力外，還要求考生能把從文章中提取的正確信息用語言准確地表達出來。在此類題上，高分段考生在語言規范和要點齊全上稍有放鬆。考生在沖刺階段對於此類題型，應做到能較好地理解文章並簡單地表述事實，把讀到的基本信息記錄下來。但由於考生深層次閱讀能力的個體差異，以及用自己的語言表達觀點時，在組織語言、語言輸出時表現出來的能力就不盡如人意了。建議考生在把握文章意思的同時，應結合上下文進行分析判斷，歸納提煉問題答案的內容表述上下功夫。尤其是表述的句子內容要簡明扼要，要點齊全。

上海市中考 完形填空：

完形填空考查考生在語篇層面上，從上下文的邏輯關系中理解、判斷詞義和掌握詞語運用與搭配的能力。其文章選材於英美原版文章，除了對詞彙辨析要求較高以外，對文化差異性的把控和理解也要求較高。

完形要求考生有足夠的基礎知識和較好的閱讀速度以及通過邏輯思維和聯繫上下文推斷出可能的答案。

高端考生注重閱讀原汁原味的原版文章，進一步了解西方文化。詞彙理解和運用到位。

低端考生來說，掌握詞、片語的含義尤為重要。

某些常用動詞短語的辯義理解起來有較大的障礙，多數考生過分依賴英漢詞典的簡明注釋，因此對動詞的英文本義理解比較膚淺，導致判斷失誤。建議考生今後要注重單詞的英文解釋和例句的應用，逐步養成用英語解釋英語的習慣，培養自己的英語思維。

上海市中考 書面表達：

英語作文的好成績不是一朝一夕能有的，需要不斷地積累。中考的寫作話題貼近中學生生活，源於考生每天學習和生活的細節，但要求對考生熟悉的生活具備一定的思考評述能力和邏輯分析能力，更要求考生有一定的書面表達能力。

中考試卷中，有的考生在書面表達上的語言中的錯誤較多，文章的篇章結構、時態、主謂一致、拼寫等有明顯錯誤。在沖刺階段的作文備考中，對於低端考生應注重基礎表達能力的儲備；對於高端考生重點應從語言質量和文章的邏輯性上進行訓練。考生應從《中考說明》中的話題項目表出發，結合作文模板，積累相關作文話題的素材儲備

2015上海英語高考真題閱讀理解

(A)

Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art ring several years of research around the world.

For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.

The Miracle of 1511 took place ring six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.

If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit.

Scary Bunny

The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.

Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.

The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.

To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and alts. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!
