In today's world,the theme of the importance of mutual trust and openness in cooperation is gaining more and more attention.In my opinion,mutual trust and openness can greatly contribute to smooth cooperation.The reasons why mutual trust and openness can be crucial to cooperation are as follows.First of all,there is no doubt that full trust and an open mind are conducive to cooperation in learning.For instance,when we trust our team members and share what we have learned with them,the results of academic collaboration stand out.At the same time,in the workplace,cooperation also requires mutual trust and genuine openness as the cornerstone.When we can be open and honest about our work,it will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of the project and lead to a smoother collaboration. Last but not least,faith and opening up can also allow different parties to establish a harmonious interpersonal relationship,which is quite significant to the process of cooperation.In short,the importance of mutual trust and openness in cooperation has been fully demonstrated. With a sense of trust and openness,we have reasons to expect a wonderful cooperation.PartⅡListening Comprehension12345678910111213C D A B C B B D D C A D C 141516171819202122232425B A D A A BCD B C A BPartⅢReading Comprehension26272829303132333435363738L A I M O B C H N D L E K 39404142434445464748495051G D H B J C N D C A B C D 52535455B D A CPartⅣTranslation参考译文:Pasting the Spring Festival couplets is an important custom for Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival.The Spring Festival couplet consists of two lines of poems and a horizontal scroll bearing four characters.These verses are written in gold or black on horizontal scrolls of red paper.Red is considered lucky and gold represents wealth.The Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the left and right sides of the gate and above the door frame.These verses embody the characteristics of traditional Chinese poetry.The two lines have the same number of words and are related in content.The horizontal scroll,highlighting the theme of the verses,is icing on the cake.The text of the Spring Festival couplets is organized in a concise and vivid manner,expressing a beautiful visual sense.When every household puts up Spring Festival couplets, people's footsteps would follow,and then the Spring Festival officially begins.With the development of science and technology as well as the spread of COVID-19,people tend to communicate with each other online.However,an increasingly large number of people realize the pleasures and joys of real-world social interaction.As far as I am concerned,real-world social interaction can greatly contribute to a closer connection between people.The reasons why real-world social interaction can be essential to us are as follows.Firstly,it brings more positive attitudes to our life and releases our pressure to some degree.For example,we can carry out real real-world activities based on games or sports,which cannot be achieved through the Internet. Secondly,compared to online communication,real-world social interaction enables us to communicate with others in a deeper and more thorough way.We may not fully know who we chat with online due to the image that people portray.However,face-to-face interaction provides an opportunity for us to know more about those who we meet.In a word,real-world social interaction plays an important role in building trust among people.It is advisable to interact with people in the real world so that we can experience the warmth and happiness brought by real-world social interaction.PartⅡListening Comprehension只考了一套听力PartⅢReading Comprehension只考了一套阅读PartⅣTranslation参考译文:The CCTV Headquarters Building is located in Chaoyang District,Beijing,with a total construction area of550,000square meters.It consists of two towers.Due to its unique shape,it has become a popular scenic spot in this city,attracting many tourists every day.The new structure is the result of a long collaboration between Chinese and foreign architects, which not only reflects environmental awareness,but also greatly saves the materials needed for the building.Through this building,a specialized channel of the CCTV Headquarters shows the history of the various studios and CCTV itself to the public.Visitors can also enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Forbidden City and other places in Beijing there.2022年9月六级考试真题答案速查(第3套)Part I Writing参考范文:Nowadays students are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of developing digital skills.

Over 80% of the worlds urban population is breathing air that fails to meet World Health Organisation sidelines, and an estimated 4.5 million people died 26 from outdoor air pollution in 2015.Globally, urban populations are expected to double in the next 40 years, and an extra 2 billion people will need new places to live, as well as services and ways to move around their cities. What is more important, the decisions that we make now about the design of our cities will 27 the everyday lives and health of the coming generations. So what would a smog-free, or at least low-pollution, city be like?Traffic has become 28 with air pollution, and many countries intend to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars in the next two decades. But simply 29 to electric cars will not mean pollution-free cities. The level of emissions they cause will depend on how the electricity to run them is 30, while brakes, tyres and roads all create tiny airborne 31 as they wear out.Across the developed world, car use is in decline as more people move to city centres, while young peopleespecially are 32 for other means of travel. Researchers are already asking if motor vehicle use has reached its 33 and will decline, but transport planners have yet to catch up with this 34, instead of laying new roads to tackle traffic jams. As users of London's orbital M25 motorway will know, new roads rapidly fill with more traffic. In the US, studies have shown that doubling the size a road can 35 double the traffic, taking us back to the starting point.A.alternateB.crownC.determineD.generatedE.locatingF.mergedG.miniaturesH.optingI.particles J.peak K.prematurely L.simplyM.switching N.synonymous O.trendWhy more Farmers Are Switching to grass-Fed meat and dairy[A]Though he didn't come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he "got hooked on the idea of grass- fed agriculture—that all energy and wealth comes from the sun,” he explains, "and the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, " the higher the profit to the farmer.[B]Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test, so in 2009, he and his wife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in upstate New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently outstrips supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25 to 30 percent annual growth rate, while sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir have in the last year increased by over 38 percent, compared with a drop of just under percent in the total yogurt and kefir market, according to natural and organic market research company SPINS. Joseph's top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn't going to suffice.[C]His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Van Amburgh, owners of the Sharon Springs, N.Y., farm Dharma Lea. The Van Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd they began to help other farmers in the area convert from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped close to 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80 percent of those farms coming on board during the last two years.[D]All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40 to 50 percent every year since it began, says Joseph, with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass-fed milk can fetch up two-and-a-half times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices grazing animals on grasses coaxed from the pastureland's latent seed bank, and fertilized by the cows' own manure—grass-fed farmers are completely insulated from spikes in the price of feed.[E]Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial activity in the soil, helping to capture water and sequester carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F]In the grass-fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese glut. Going grass-fed is a "safe refuge, " says Joseph, a way for "family-scale farms to stay viable.” "Usually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they're doing is not working, says Paul Van Amburgh. That's when they call Maple Hill. If the farm is well managed,has enoughland, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Van Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer's milk at a guaranteed base price plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butterfat and other solids.[G]While Maple Hill’s conversion program is unusually hands-on and comprehensive (Joseph calls sharing hisknowledge network through peer-to-peer learning "a core piece of our culture"), it is just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate Ridge Shinn launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from more than 125 producers this year. Earlyindications are that Shinn will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he's received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.[H]Shinn says he will provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holisticmanagement, to"one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline" for farmers who are converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and, for maximum traceability, a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.[I]Though advocates portray grass-fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides. Price, forone: Joseph says his products are priced 10 to 20 percent above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30 to 50 percent or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Shinn says his grass-fed hamburger will be priced 20 to 25 percent over theconventional alternative. But a peek at the prices on online grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35 to 60 percent.[J]And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed: For both beef and dairy production, it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor intensive as well. But Shinn counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corn subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human health and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model. "The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat, "he says.[K]Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be vegan endurance athletes; now they're advocates of grass-fed meat. Very soon after launching EPIC's most successful product - the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar - Collins and Forrest found they 'd exhausted their sources for bison raised exclusively on pasture.[L]But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had sources they needed to expand their supply chain. So the company teamed up with Wisconsin-based rancher Northstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of S2.5 million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price.36.Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37.Over the years, Tim Joseph's partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass-fed.38.One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39.Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms of profIts.40.Tim Joseph's grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice is changing.41.Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42.One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventional ones.43.Grass-fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44.When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short of demand.45.A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison meat was scarce.Schools are not just a microcosm of society; they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside-at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This is ambitious in any circumstances, and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright.Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, a sports tour to Barbadoes-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can’t afford breakfast. The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. The discrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbors.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practicing French on a language exchange can fi re children’s passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life’s possibilities. Educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level test. In this globalized age, there is a good case for international travel, and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures, some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. They should be applauded. Methods such as whole-school fundraising, with the proceeds pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit.But £3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over £30,000. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education’s guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. However, many schools seem to ignore the advice, and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips, which are becoming increasingly common. Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.46.What does the author say best schools should do?A.Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B.Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C.Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D.Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47.What does the author think about school field trips?A.They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B.They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C.They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D.They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbors.48.What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A.Events aiming to improve community services.B.Activities that help to fuel students’ ingenuity.C.Events that require mutual understanding.D.Activities involving all students on campus.49.What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A.They want their children to participate even though they don’t see much benefit.B.They don’t want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C.They don't want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite.D.They want their children to experience adventures but they don’t want them to run risks.50.What is the author’s expectation of scho ols?A.Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B.Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C.Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D.Giving poor students preferential treatment.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine (未受污染的)waters around the Antarctic could see King penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study. The study’s report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world’s last gr eat wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned: “If there’re no actions aimed at halting or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human-induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may soon disappear.” The findings come amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill (磷虾)population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today’s report is the starkest warning yet of the potent ially devastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic’s delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said,“Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins—1.1 million breeding pairs—will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100.” King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front—an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a huge abundance of marine life—is being pushed further south.This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as this distance between their breeding grounds and their food grows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said,“The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning abo ut the future of entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems.” Penguins are sensitive indicators of change s in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.2019年12月大学英语六级考试真题(三)51.What will happen by 2100, according to the new study?A.King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B.Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C.The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D.The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52.What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A.Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B.Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C.Industrial fishing and climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.D.Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53.What does the passage say about king penguins?A.They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B.Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C.They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D.The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54.What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A.Many baby king penguins can't have food in time.B.Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C.Whales will invade king penguins’ breeding grounds.D.Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55.What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A.The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B.Its conversation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C.It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D.Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.梅花位居中国十大名花之首,源于中国南方,已有三千多年的栽培历史和种植历史。

faced with too many choices.”You can make comments,cite examples or use your personal experiences to develop your essay.You should write at least 150words but no more than200words.People are now increasingly aware of the challenges in making a decision when faced with too many choices.Especially for students,they often have many different choices before them,and it is indeed a major challenge to make the right choice.For one thing,for most of us,sometimes you can make decisions in an instant,but at other times the choice feels overwhelming.Students may feel anxious when confronted with too many choices and the anxiety may cause a fear of making the wrong choice and later suffering the consequences.This may cause you to hesitate,ruminate, or fail to make any decision at all.For another,some students,It is easy for them to blindly follow others to make choices without considering whether this choice suits them.As far as I’m concerned,If you are struggling to decide what to do,keep your long-term goals in mind.Start journaling your ideas,and document your fears,hopes or expectations so that you have a clear idea of where you are now,and where you want to get to.Keep your

with the sentence"People are now increasingly aware of the'digital gap'or challenges the elderly face in a digital world."You can make comments,give explanations or cite examples to develop your essay.You should write at least150 words but no more than200words.People are now increasingly aware of the“digital gap”or challenges the elderly face in a digital world.Digitalization has become a prominent feature of current social changes in our country.Moreover,a worrisome point is that a fair number of the elderly still face the problem of"digital siege",which should attract increasing attention nowadays.Personally speaking,there are two reason accounting for this phenomenon.First and foremost,digital technology is rapidly updated and iterated in a short time so that it is difficult for most elderly people to keep their pace with the trend due to physical and intellectual limitations.In addition,the majority of digital technologies are based on the market needs of young people.Only the aged learn the cumbersome intelligent operation can they be able to apply the technologies,which virtually raises the technical threshold of the old people's digital life.According to statistics,our country is officially entering a moderately aged society.Therefore,we should spare no efforts to help the aged overcome the challenges and enjoy the benefits brought by the digitalization.听力本次听力共有一套第一套1.A)In a restaurant.2.D)She is a partial vegetarian.3.B)Changing one's eating habit.4.A)They enjoy perfect health.5.D)The man had an attitude problem.6.C)They use

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal RelationshipsIn the digital age, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. While it offers numerous benefits, it has also had a significant impact on interpersonal relationships.Firstly, social media has facilitated the expansion of social networks. It allows individuals to connect with people from all over the world, making it easier to establish and maintain relationships. Social media platforms provide opportunities for individuals to meet new friends, share interests, and engage in meaningful conversations. This increased connectivity has broadened the scope of interpersonal relationships.Secondly, social media has changed the way we communicate. It has made communication more accessible and convenient, allowing us to stay connected with friends and family regardless of geographical distance. However, it has also resulted in a decline in face-to-face interactions. With the rise of online communication, there is a risk of reduced personal interaction and a lack of meaningful connections.Additionally, social media has heightened the pressure to maintain an online presence. People often feel the need to constantly share their personal lives, achievements, and experiences on social media platforms, which can lead to comparison and feelings of inadequacy. This pressure can cause strain on relationships as individuals focus more on portraying an idealized image rather than genuine connection.In conclusion, social media has had a profound impact on interpersonal relationships. While it has provided opportunities for increased connectivity and communication, it has also created challenges such as a decline in face-to-face interactions and heightened pressures. It is important for individualsto find a balance between digital and real-life connections in order to maintain healthy and meaningful relationships.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear three news reports.

Pretend play, on the other hand, allows children to develop empathy and understanding of others’ perspectives.

Board games and group activities also promote social interaction and help children learn important skills such as taking turns, following rules, and resolving conflicts in a fair manner.Parents and educators play a crucial role in promoting social skills development. They can create opportunities for play and provide guidance and support. It is important for parents to encourage their children to engage in various types of play and provide them with age-appropriate toys and games. Educators can incorporate play-based learning activities in the classroom to foster social skills development.In conclusion, play is a valuable tool for social skills development. It allows children to practice and master important skills while having fun. Parents and educators should recognize the importance of play and provide opportunities and support for children to engage in different types of play.第二套The concept of time management is essential in today’s fast-paced world.

2019年6月大学英语六级考试真题及参考答案(第1套)Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.It’s not difficult for us to come up with several possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.【参考范文译文】俗话说,知识能改变命运。

2017年6月大学英语六级考试真题及答案解析(第一套)Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University?It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ideas are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, my advices are as follow.In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and theirchoices must give play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into account because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled one will be.In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one-size-fits-all answer for the question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self-positioning and the interest of oneself. Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us.Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Classical music aims to evolve,build audiences without alienating old guardA)In 1913,classical music sparked a riot in Paris.Igor Stravinsky was introducing his revolutionary “Rite of Spring”ballet to the world,with its discordant melodies and unorthodox choreography (编舞),and the purists in the crowd expressed their disapproval loud and clear.It might have been classical music’s version of the time Bob Dylan went electric at the Newport Folk Festival.“The noise,fighting,and shouting in the audience got so loud,”NPR’s music reporter Miles Hoffff man said of the Stravinsky debut,“that the choreographer had to shout out the numbers to the dancers so that they knew what they were supposed to do.”B)It’s difficult to imagine a similar disturbance occurring today within America’s sacred symphony halls.In fact,it’s hard to picture any kind of disruptive activity at all (unless someone’s cell phone happens to go off and then you’d better watch your back).A mannerly aura (氛围)hangs over most classical proceedings,and many of the genre’s biggest supporters would have it no other way.C)Today,Western audiences for classical music and opera and ballet are almost always well dressed,older,respectful,achingly silent and often very wealthy (one has to be able to afford most tickets).But as many of America’s most storied “highbrow ”(高雅的)A)abandonedF)investments K)released B)accessG)mobilized L)replacement C)consumptionH)negligent M)slash D)contriveI)neutral N)surplus E)duplicationsJ)reductions O)voidinstitutions struggle financially—the Philadelphia Orchestra’s much-publicized rebound from bankruptcy is just one recent example—classical music fans and theorists are wondering how the medium can weave itself into the21st century’s cultural fabric without sacrificing its integrity.D)For example,should we feel OK“clapping”during classical music events,even if nobodyelse is?Why shouldn’t we cheer for something great,like we do at a rock concert?The Huffington Post recently ran a Great Debate on this issue and many commenters came out on the side of silence.“There is no more rewarding experience in life than being part of an audience where everybody is leaning forward in silence,thoroughly carried away by a great performance of a masterpiece,”one commenter wrote.“Why is it so difficult for folks to develop an appreciation and understanding for the mannerisms and traditions of classical music?”asked another.E)The truth is that classical music audiences weren’t always so polite.Robert Greenberg,anaward-winning composer,said that when Beethoven first performed his7th Symphony, audiences forced the orchestra to perform encores(重演)of certain movements immediately,applauding wildly.And in the last few decades,he said,many audiences at opera performances have abandoned pretenses,yelling“Bravo”when they feel like it. F)“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an audience showing their enthusiasm for aproper moment by applauding,showing their joy,”Greenberg said,noting that the stuffiness in concert halls is“one aspect of contemporary concert etiquette”he doesn’t understand.“Instead of waiting half an hour to show enthusiasm,why not show it every eight or nine minutes?”G)Until the rules about behavior and clothing change,it’s hard to imagine multitudes ofyoung people filling concert halls on their own accord.They’re probably more likely to head to Central Park to watch a free performance with a bottle of wine and their friends.“I think anyone should be able to come into a performance dressed any way they like,and be comfortable any way they like,sitting in that seat ready to enjoy themselves,”Greenberg said.“Because it’s enjoyable.”H)Greenberg stressed that he doesn’t want people to start respecting the music less,and he’snot suggesting that we“dumb down”the experience.Rather,it’s about opening up “access.”When operas first instituted subtitles(字幕)during shows,he said,many purists didn’t like the idea,believing that the audience should instead study the works before attending.But now it’s commonplace to find titles on the seatback in front of you—choose a language,sit back,and understand what’s going on.I)Allison Vulgamore,president of the Philadelphia Orchestra,is certainly looking to thefuture.She says certain“classics concerts”dedicated to the old masters will always exist, but not every program has to feature Beethoven and Brahms—or even a stage and seats.“We’re trying to introduce different kinds of concerts in different ways,”she said.“We are an interactive society now,where people like to learn.”J)As the Philadelphia Orchestra rebounds from its financial straits,it is also aiming to experiment,without alienating the loyalists.Vulgamore pointed to Cirque de la Symphonie,a recent offering in which jugglers(玩杂耍的人)and acrobats(杂技演员) interacted with musicians.An upcoming collaboration with New York City’s RidgeTheatre,meanwhile,will feature a“suspended dance installation”and other theatrical elements occurring in conjunction with an orchestral piece.K)The orchestra also continues to offer$25annual memberships to Philadelphia students, who can buy rush tickets to every concert on the schedule.“Students line up for the concerts they want,and we get roughly300or350kids a night coming to these.They take any of the open seats available,5minutes before the concert starts,”Vulgamore said.“It’s like the running of the bulls,that energy when the doors open.”L)Greenberg thinks that youthful energy needs to be harvested.Conductors don’t have to be arrogant and untouchable—they can be accessible.Perhaps there could even be a“bit of humor”about them,he suggested,and an abandoning of pretension within the high-art institutions themselves.“On one hand,these organizations are all saying the same thing: we want more general audiences,to break down cultural barriers,”he said.“But then they come up with some very snooty(目中无人的)thing that makes you crazy.”M)John Terauds,a critic who has covered Toronto’s classical music scene extensively,also wants to do away with the stuffiness.He suggested that the warmer an audience is,the better the musicians themselves will respond.“But the producer or organizer has to let everyone know it’s OK,”he said.“It’s OK to enjoy yourself.”At the Toronto Symphony Orchestra,for example,conductor Peter Oundjian often stops between pieces,taking a moment to talk about the composer or the music in a very amiable way.And some nights, Terauds said,“at least a third”of the audience consists of students who have purchased cheaper tickets.On these nights,the energy of the room drastically shifts.It becomes a less intimidating place.N)Back in February,Terauds wrote on his blog about how going to classical performances can be intimidating.Certain people“think they have to dress up,”he wrote.“They think they have to know something about the music before they go.And,I’m sure,sitting in a seat,trembling in fear that this might be the wrong time to applaud,is also one of the factors.”O)Everyone in the classical world agrees on the need for increased“accessibility,”but achieving it is often easier said than done.Nowadays,there are unknown,unorthodox opera singers wowing(博得……的喝彩)viewers on TV programs like“America’s Got Talent”and“The Voice”.What can higher institutions do with any of that?And if they appeal to these outlets,do they risk compromising the integrity or the intelligence of the music?P)Vulgamore seems to understand this.She thinks an organization can have it both ways, claiming the new while keeping the old.And as she reorganizes the Philadelphia Orchestra,she will attempt to do just that.“The world’s most respected musicians brought together as an orchestra will always exist,”she said.“But it’s essential that we be willing to experiment and fail.”36.It was not a rare occurrence that audiences behaved wildly while listening to classical music.37.Some high-art institutions don’t actually mean it when they say they want more general audiences.38.The theatre was in chaos when an unconventional ballet was first put on stage in the capital of France.39.According to one critic,the audience’s warm response would encourage the musicians to do a better job.40.Many commenters argued for the audience enjoying classical music quietly.41.What appears on the seatback screen makes it unnecessary for the audience to study the works beforehand.42.It is generally accepted that there should be no disturbance from the audience during classical music performance.43.Higher institutions will be concerned about compromising the integrity of classical music if they have to resort to the television medium.44.Heavily discounted rush tickets help attract many young students to attend classical concerts.45.The formalities of high-art theatres can intimidate some people attending a performance. Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.How can one person enjoy good health,while another person looks old before her time? Humans have been asking this question for thousands of years,and recently,it’s becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the differences between people’s rates of aging lie in the complex interactions among genes,social relationships,environments and lifestyles.Even though you were born with a particular set of genes,the way you live can influence how they express themselves.Some lifestyle factors may even turn genes on or shut them off.Deep within the genetic heart of all our cells are telomeres,or repeating segments of noncoding DNA that live at the ends of the chromosomes(染色体).They form caps at the ends of the chromosomes and keep the genetic material together.Shortening with each cell division,they help determine how fast a cell ages.When they become too short,the cell stops dividing altogether.This isn’t the only reason a cell can age—there are other stresses on cells we don’t yet understand very well—but short telomeres are one of the major reasons human cells grow old.We’ve devoted most of our careers to studying telomeres,and one extraordinary discovery from our labs is that telomeres can actually lengthen.Scientists have learned that several thought patterns appear to be unhealthy for telomeres, and one of them is cynical hostility.Cynical hostility is defined by high anger and frequent thoughts that other people cannot be trusted.Someone with hostility doesn’t just think,“I hate to stand in long lines”;they think,“Others deliberately sped up and beat me to my rightful position in the line!”—and then get violently agitated.People who score high on measures of cynical hostility tend to get more heart disease,metabolic disease and often die at younger ages.They also have shorter telomeres.In a study of British civil servants,men who scoredhigh on measures of cynical hostility had shorter telomeres than men whose hostility scores were low.The most hostile men were30%more likely to have short telomeres.What this means:aging is a dynamic process that could possibly be accelerated or slowed—and,in some aspects,even reversed.To an extent,it has surprised us and the rest of the scientific community that telomeres do not simply carry out the commands issued by your genetic code.Your telomeres are listening to you.The foods you eat,your response to challenges,the amount of exercise you get,and many other factors appear to influence your telomeres and can prevent premature aging at the cellular level.One of the keys to enjoying good health is simply doing your part to foster healthy cell renewal.46.What have scientists come to know better today?A)Why people age at different rates.B)How genes influence the aging process.C)How various genes express themselves in aging.D)Why people have long been concerned about aging.47.Why are some lifestyle factors considered extremely important?A)They may shorten the process of cell division.B)They may determine how genes function.C)They may affect the lifespan of telomeres.D)They may account for the stresses on cells.48.What have the author and his colleagues discovered about telomeres?A)Their number affects the growth of cells.B)Their length determines the quality of life.C)Their shortening process can be reversed.D)Their health impacts the division of cells.49.What have scientists learned about cynical hostility?A)It may lead to confrontational thought patterns.B)It may produce an adverse effect on telomeres.C)It may cause people to lose their temper frequently.D)It may stir up agitation among those in long lines.50.What do we learn from the last paragraph about the process of aging?A)It may vary from individual to individual.B)It challenges scientists to explore further.C)It depends on one’s genetic code.D)It may be controlled to a degree.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Scientists have created by accident an enzyme(酶)that breaks down plastic drinks bottles.The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.The new research was spurred by the discovery in2016of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan.Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved,but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles.“What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme,which was a bit of a shock,”said head researcher Prof.McGeehan,at the University of Portsmouth,UK.Currently,the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic,far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans,but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a viable large-scale process.“What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components,so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,”said McGeehan.“It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and,fundamentally,it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.”About1million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and,with just14% recycled,many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remotest parts, harming marine life and potentially people who eat sea food.“Plastic is incredibly resistant to degradation,”said McGeehan.“It is one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.”Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into opaque fibres for clothing or carpets,while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottle.“You are always up against the fact that oil is cheap,so plastic is cheap,”said McGeehan.“It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff,rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here:perception is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.”Prof.Adisa Azapagic,at the University of Manchester in the UK,agreed the enzyme could be useful but added:“A full life-cycle assessment would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem—waste—at the expense of others,including additional greenhouse gas emissions.”51.What do we learn from the passage about an enzyme scientists have created?A)It was identified during a lab experiment accident.B)It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality.C)It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts.D)It may initiate a radical reform in plastic industry.52.What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme?A)It has a natural ability to consume plastics.B)It is a bacterium that reproduces at a high rate.C)It is essential to the recycling of plastic bottles.D)It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists.53.By adjusting the enzyme produced by the bug,the scientists______.A)made it more effective by chanceB)discovered an extraordinary chemicalC)altered its basic molecular compositionD)found its evolutionary process sped up54.What does Prof.McGeehan say about the recycling of plastic bottles?A)Manufacturers are implementing it on an increasingly larger scale.B)It generates huge business opportunities for plastic manufacturers.C)It has aroused persistent interest among the general public.D)Manufacturers are beginning to explore ways of doing it.55.What is Prof.Adisa Azapagic’s advice concerning the application of the enzyme?A)Developing technologies to address greenhouse gas emissions.B)Considering the extra cost involved in producing the enzyme.C)Assessing its possible negative impact on the environment.D)Studying the full life cycle of the enzyme as the first step.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are

Retail prices for a 30 of tomatoes at local markets have risen from $0. 50 to $2.50. Farmers are reporting steep losses and a new $20 million tomato-paste factory has 31 production due to the shortages.Given the moth's ability also to attack crops like pepper and potatoes, Audu Ogbeh, Nigeria's minister of agriculture, has warned that the pest may"create serious problems forfood 32 "in the country.Ogbeh says experts are investigating how to contr ol the pest’s damage and prevent its spread, which has gone largely 33 until now.Despite being the continent's second-largest producer of tomatoes, Nigeria is 34 on $1 billion worth of tomato-paste imports every year.as around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste thanks to a lack of proper storage facilities.

You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why we need tiny collegesA) We're experiencing the rebirth of smallness.Farmers markets, tiny homes,and brew pubs all exemplifyour love of smallness.So do charter schools,coffee shops, and local bookstores. Small is often (but not always) more affordable, healthier, and sustainable, but its finest characteristic, the one that turns charm into love, is that going small allows us to be more fully who we are.B)In higher education the trend is mostly in the opposite direction: Universities with20,000 or30,000students are considered"mid-sized".The nation's largest university, Arizona State University, has 80,000 students on campus and aims to enroll another100,000 students online. At the other end of the spectrum is a handful of colleges that have fewer than a hundred students on campus and no online courses: colleges such as Sterling College, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts,and Deep Springs College. These colleges are so small that they can only be called"tiny."C)Tiny colleges focus not just on a young person's intellect,but on the young person as a whole. Equallyimportant, tiny colleges ask,"How can education contribute to human flourishing and the well-being of the world?" And they shape a college experience to address that question. They replace concerns about institutional growth with attention to the growth of students as fully developed participants in their communities.D) I've had the privilege of teaching at three different institutions of higher learning during my career-a smallliberal arts college and two mid-sized public universities.I've also been profoundly disappointed in each of these institutions,and in many of my colleagues,especially when it comes to helping students and preparing them for the many responsibilities of adulthood.Administrators focus on the business of running a university, and most faculty focus on their scholarship and teaching their discipline. Little deliberate attention is given to how students mature as individuals and social beings.E)Having just retired from teaching at a public university,I'm now returning to my hometown of Flagstaff,Arizona, to establish a tiny college—Flagstaff College. I'm convinced there's a need for another type of education, one devoted to helping students come into their own and into this beautiful and troubled world. Young people need an education that will provide them with meaning, hope, courage, and passion,as well as information and skills. Large institutions,I believe, are particularly ill-suited to this type of education.F) There's no "best of" list when it comes to tiny colleges, at least not yet. But around the country people arecreating new colleges that provide an alternative to small liberal arts colleges, large public universities, and online education.G) With only26students,Deep Springs is the smallest college in the country and, quite likely,the mostatypical (非典型的).Located on a working cattle ranch on the California-Nevada border,Deep Springs is a private,residential, two-year college for men, committed to educating students for "a life of service to humanity." Founded by the electricity tycoon(大亨)L.L. Nunn in1917,Deep Springs "curriculum"revolves around academics,labor,and self-governance. In addition to their courses,students are charged with running the 155-acre ranch and overseeing the functioning of the college.Students chair both the admissions and the curriculum committees.H)"Living in close community with one's teachers and fellow students, and being forced to take on adultresponsibilities,makes for one's growth as a person,"says William Hunt,who graduated last year."To exist for very long in a community like that,you have to get over the question of whether you're sufficiently talented or principled and get started worrying about how you can stretch yourself and your peers, how much you can manage to learn with them."I) Sterling College, in Craftsbury Common, Vermont,is also very small-fewer than 100 students.UnlikeDeep Springs,Sterling focuses its curriculum on environmental and social justice issues, but like Deep Springs it places a high value on personal responsibility and manual labor. According to its catalog, a college education at Sterling combines"rigorous academics, roll-up-your-sleeves challenges, and good old hard work."J)The average tuition at a small liberal-arts college is$30,000to $40,000a year, not including the cost of living on campus, as compared to $8,000 to$10,000 a year for tuition alone at a public university. Of the tiny colleges,only Deep Springs doesn't charge tuition or room and board;students pay only for books and the cost of traveling to and from college.If tiny schools are to become a player on the higher education scene, they will need to find a way to be truly affordable.K) Doing so may not be that difficult so long as they do not pattern themselves too closely on existing norms. We've come to believe that a good college should have many academic programs and excellent facilities, posh (豪华的) dorms, an array of athletic programs, and a world-class student activity center.Imagine a good college without a climbing wall! We also have accepted the idea that college presidents, and their many vice-presidents,should be paid like their counterparts in the business world and that higher education requires an elaborate, up-to-date technology infrastructure. All of this drives up the cost of education.L) The"trick" to making tiny colleges affordable, if that's the right word, is simplicity. At its core, education is a human-to-human interaction. Reflecting on his own college education, President Garfield once commented that an ideal college would consist of nothing more than the legendary teacher Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other. The economics of a tiny college, in other words, might be similar to that of a tiny house. Because it is small,a tiny house costs less to build and less to furnish, insure, and maintain. But the economic benefits of a small house don't end there.Tiny homes discourage homeowners from buying stuff that they really don't need, because there's no place to put it.M) I'm a late convert to the idea of tiny colleges,and I fully understand the need for many diverse types of educational institutions. Academic research and job training are important, but tiny colleges aren't suited for either. The educational needs of a complex society are themselves complex, and no single model can meet all of these needs. But I'm now convinced there's an educational need that's now going almost completely unmet: namely, the need to help young people transition into adulthood. Tiny colleges can do this better than any other type of educational institution.N) The ultimate justification for a tiny college is the conviction that each of us comes into our full humanity by close interaction with those who know and care for us, and that one of the basic purposes of higher education is social. Although we give lip service to the idea that a college education will make us betterpeople, when all's said and done, we think of higher education primarily in economic terms. We've come to think of higher education as a means to make a living rather than make a life. We've also come to see higher education as a private good rather than a public one. Tiny colleges are not the answer to all of our educational requirements, but they're an answer to one of our most basic educational necessities; the need to produce thoughtful, engaged, and compassionate human beings.36.One tiny American college situated on a cattle farm is devoted to educating students to serve mankindthroughout their lives.37. Much to the author's disappointment, the three institutions of higher learning where she taught largelyignore students'growth as social beings.38. Tiny colleges must be made affordable in order to play a role in higher education.39.According to a recent graduate from a tiny college, living together with faculty and fellow students isconducive to a student's growth as a person.40. Rather than going small, most American universities are trying to go big.41. In a certain tiny college, rigorous academic work and traditional manual labor are integrated.42. Tiny colleges focus on educating students to become well-rounded citizens instead of seeking their ownexpansion.43. The essence of education lies in the interaction between people.44. After her retirement, the author has decided to set up a tiny college in her hometown.45.Tiny colleges are justified as it is believed that our growth into full humanity comes through interactionwith people near and dear to us.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.If you're someone who has turned to snacking on junk food more in the pandemic (大流行病), you're not alone.Investigative reporter Michael Moss says processed food is engineered to hook you, not unlike alcohol, cigarettes, or other harmful substances. His 2013 book, Salt Sugar Fat, explored food companies'aggressive marketing of those products and their impact on our health. In his new book, Hooked, Moss updates the food giants' efforts to keep us eating what they serve,and how they're responding to complaints from consumers and health advocates.Processed food is inexpensive, it's legal,and it's panies'advertising is cueing us to remember those products and we want those products constantly. So the food environment is oneof those key things that makes food even more problematic for so many people. Memory, nostalgia (怀旧) in particular, plays a big role in the foods we crave.Soda companies discovered that if they put a soda in the hands of a child when they're at a ball game with their parents, that soda will forever be associated with that joyous ter in life,when that child wants to experience a joyous moment,they're going to think of soda. Many people seek comfort in the snacks they remember from childhood.Moss examines the way companies capitalize on our memories, cravings and brain chemistry to keep us snacking.One of the reasons I came to think that some of these food products are even more powerful, more troublesome than drugs can be is memory.What we eat is all about memory.And we begin forming memories for food at a really early age. And we keep those memories for a lifetime. Knowing this,the food industry spends lots of time trying to shape the memories that we have for their products.Oneof the features of addiction that scientists studying drug addiction discovered back in the 1990s was that the faster a substance hits the brain,the more apt we are as a result to act impulsively.There's nothing faster than food in its ability to hit the brain. For Moss, this puts the notion of "fast food" in an entirely new light as this isn't limited to fast food chains-almost 90% of food products in grocery stores are processed foods. Everything in the industry is about speed, from manufacturing to packaging.Overall, Moss outlines the industry's dependence on making their products inexpensive,superdelicious, and incredibly convenient for consumers. Now that more and more people care about what they put in their bodies and are wanting to eat healthier, these companies are finding it really difficult to meet that new demand because of their own addiction to making these convenience foods.46. In what way does Michael Moss think processed food is comparable to alcohol and cigarettes?A) They are all addictive. C) They are all engineered to be enjoyed.B) They are all necessary evils. D) They are all in increasingly great demand.47. What does the author say plays a key role in the foods we crave?A) The food environment. C) Convenience.B) Aggressive marketing. D) Memory.48. What do food companies do to capitalize on consumers' association with their food products?A) They strive to influence how consumers remember their products.B) They attempt to use consumers' long-term memories to promote addiction.C) They try to exploit consumers' memories for their products as early as possible.D) They endeavor to find what consumers remember about their products.49. How does the food industry operate from manufacturing to packaging, according to Moss?A) Placing the idea of fast food in an entirely new light.B)Setting no limit to the number of fast food chains.C) Focusing on how quickly the work is done.D) Prioritizing the quality of their products.50. Why are companies finding it difficult to satisfy consumers' demand for healthier food products?A) They think speed of production outweighs consumers' health.B) They believe their industry would perish without fast foods.C) They have to strike a balance between taste and nutrition.D) They are hooked on manufacturing convenience foods.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Chimpanzees (黑猩猩),human beings'closest animal relatives, share up to 98%of our genes. Yet humans and chimpanzees lead very different lives. Fewer than300,000wild chimpanzees live in a few forested corners of Africa today, while humans have colonized every corner of the globe.At more than 7 billion, human population dwarfs that of nearly all other mammals—despite our physical weaknesses.What could account for our species'incredible evolutionary successes?One obvious answer is our big brains. It could be that our raw intelligence gave us an unprecedented ability to think outside the box, innovating solutions to thorny problems as people migrated across the globe.But a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists (人 类 学 家) are rejecting that explanation. They think that, rather than making our living as innovators, we survive and thrive precisely because we don't think for ourselves. Instead, people cope with challenging climates and ecological contexts by carefully copying others.In a famous study, psychologists Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten showed two groups of test subjects-children and chimpanzees-a mechanical box with a treat inside.In one condition,the box wasopaque,while in the other it was transparent.The experimenters demonstrated how to open the box to retrieve the treat, but they also included the irrelevant step of tapping on the box with a stick.Oddly, the children carefully copied all the steps to open the box,even when they could see that the stick had no practical effect.That is, they copied irrationally:Instead of doing only what was necessary to get their reward, children slavishly imitated every action they'd witnessed.Of course, that study only included three- and four-year-olds. But additional research has shown that older children and adults are even more likely to mindlessly copy others'actions, and infants are less likely to over-imitate—that is, to precisely copy even impractical actions.By contrast,chimpanzees in the study only over-imitated in the opaque condition. In the transparent condition-where they saw that the stick was mechanically useless-they ignored that step entirely. Other research has since supported these findings.When it comes to copying, chimpanzees are more rational than human children or adults.Where does the seemingly irrational human preference for over-imitation come from?Anthropologist Joseph Henrich points out that people around the world rely on technologies that are often so complex that no one can learn them rationally.Instead,people must learn them step by step, trusting in the wisdom of more experienced elders and peers.So the next time you hear someone arguing passionately that everyone should embrace nonconformity and avoid imitating others, you might laugh a little bit. We're not chimpanzees, after all.51. What might explain humans'having the largest population of almost all mammals?A) They are equipped with raw strength for solving the most challenging problems.B) They cope with the outside world more effectively than their animal relatives.C) They possess the most outstanding ability to think.D) They knowhow to survive everywhere on earth.52. What accounts for humans'evolutionary successes according to a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists?A) They are better at innovating solutions.B) They thrive through creative strategies.C) They are naturally adaptive to ecological contexts.D) They meet challenges by imitating others carefully.53.What does the author think is odd about the findings of the study by Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten?A) Children irrationally imitated every action of the experimenters.B) Chimpanzees could tell the transparent box from the opaque one.C) Chimpanzees could retrieve the treat more quickly than children did.D) Children omitted the step of tapping on the box with a stick to open it.54. What is anthropologist Joseph Henrich's explanation for the human preference for copying?A) It originates in the rationality of people around the world.B) It stems from the way people learn complex technologies.C) It results from people distrusting their own wisdom.D) It derives from the desire to acquire knowledge step by step.55. What point does the author want to emphasize when he says "We're not chimpanzees"?A) It is arguable whether everyone should avoid imitation.B) It is characteristic of human beings to copy others.C) It is desirable to trust in more knowledgeable peers.D) It is naive to laugh at someone embracing nonconformity.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.

Part I Writing (30 minutes)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of motivation and methods in learning. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
【参考范文】
As an old saying goes, knowledge can change one’s life. In order to acquire knowledge, we have to study hard. However, it can not be ignored that effective learning needs both motivation and scientific methods.
It’s not difficult for us to come up with several possible reasons accounting for this perspective. In the first place, learning is a kind of serious and hard work. Therefore, not everyone is able to keep going without certain internal motivations. Besides, scientific methods play a significant role in improving learning efficiency. Many of us believe that the longer you study, the better grades you will get. But a lot of experiences of our classmates prove that this view is not entirely correct. In details, studying for a long time is exhausting and it is very likely to decrease study efficiency, which is critical to academic performance.
From what has been mentioned above, we can easily draw a conclusion that the importance of motivation and methods in learning is self-evident. And it is necessary for us to develop good learning methods.
【参考范文译文】
俗话说,知识能改变命运。
因此,为了获得知识,我们必须努力学习。
然而,不可忽略的是,有效的学习既离不开学习动力的存在,也离不开科学的学习方法。
不难列举上述观点的原因。
首先,学习是一件严肃且困难的事。
因此,不是每个人都能在没有某种内在动机的情况下一直继续。
此外,科学的方法在提高学习效率方面发挥着重要的作用。
我们当中有不少人都认为,学习的时间越长,成绩就会越好。
但是我们周边同学的很多经历证明这个观点并不完全正确。
具体来说,长时间的学习是累人的,因此它很可能会降低学习效率,而学习效率对于学业成绩来说却是至关重要的。
综上所述,我们可以很容易就得出如下结论:学习动机和方法的重要性是不言而喻的,因此我们非常有必要形成良好的学习方法。
