The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA．’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.4．What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A．They are hard to get rid of.B．They lead to air pollution.C．They appear in different forms.D．They damage the instruments. 5．What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A．To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B．To sharpen students’ communication skills.C．To allow students to experience zero gravity.D．To link space technology with school education.6．What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A．Check their product.B．Guide project designs.C．Adjust work schedules.D．Grade their homework.7．What is the best title for the text?A．NASA: The Home of AstronautsB．Space: The Final Homework FrontierC．Nature: An Outdoor ClassroomD．HUNCH: A College Admission ReformMany of us are lonelier than ever. We can go shopping and avoid speaking to a single person. Automated voice son phones and machines suck the contact and relational element out of day-to-day life, so much so that experts say that we are experiencing a loneliness disease.According to Dr. Lalitaa, loneliness is the feeling we get when our need for rewarding social contact and relationships is not met. But loneliness is not always the same as being alone. Loneliness is a state of mind linked to wanting human contact but feeling alone. People can be alone and not feel lonely, or they can have contact with people and still experience feelings of loneliness.Loneliness is a universal human emotion that is both complex and unique to each individual. There are many contributing factors to loneliness, such as illness, relationships breaking down, moving country, changing jobs or not being understood by co-workers, retiring, starting university, etc.We cannot underestimate the impact loneliness can have on our physical and mental wellbeing. According to research, loneliness has comparable health risks to smoking15cigarettes a day, and people who feel lonely are more likely to die earlier and suffer from heart attacks. Dr. Lalitaa says, “People often say to me, ‘It’s too late to meet new people as an adult.’ Having human connect ion can look different for each person, but this can become a block, stopping them going out, trying new things and connecting with new people. Remember, it is never too late to make good, meaningful connections.”However, don’t put pressure on yourself. A meaningful relationship takes time. It is not just created overnight. Also, take some time to sit with yourself and venture (冒险) into some of the things that you like doing. “The first thing I would say is not to deny or distance the feeling. Acknowledge it and then you can choose to focus on ways to help yourself,” says litaa.8．How does the author clarify what loneliness is?A．By stating arguments.B．By giving examples.C．By making comparisons.D．By employing figures.9．Why is smoking cigarettes mentioned in the text?A．To explain the causes of loneliness.B．To illustrate the harm from loneliness.C．To overestimate the impact of loneliness.D．To emphasize the universality of loneliness.10．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Lack of appealing reward.B．Dependence on the network.C．The regret for the passing youth.D．The idea of being too late for new relations.11．What does Dr. Lalitaa consider as priority when dealing with loneliness?A．Having new experience.B．Telling it from being alone.C．Being aware of and recognizing it.D．Making friends from all walks of life.The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was toldif they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.12．What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?A．Take an examination alone.B．Share their treats with others.C．Delay eating for fifteen minutes.D．Show respect for the researchers. 13．According to Paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between_______.A．the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B．the shortage of sugar and ournutritional needsC．the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit D．the rich food supply and ourunchanged brains14．What does the author suggest readers do?A．Be selective information consumers.B．Absorb new information readily.C．Use diverse information sources.D．Protect the information environment.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Eat Less, Read More B．The Later, the BetterC．The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D．The Bitter Truth about Early Humans Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock.how to make one.• 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.• Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.• Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19 • Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 20 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.A．A better plan for sleep can help.B．If the steps you take are working, keep it up.C．a sleep expert.D．Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.E．And consider setting a second alarm.F．Find the right motivation.G．Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.二、完形填空On 20 December, in Newdale, a series of huge waves caused by an undersea earthquakeof tsunamis (海啸).The day began like any other on Gold shore Beach.

To inform parents of safety risks on campus.BWhy isn’t science better? Look at career incentive(激励).There are oftensubstantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not toreplicate(复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them -but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.But there are also waysin which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.It’s not like we don't know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls ondeaf ears.Why? Why aren't scientific methods better than they are? In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well theschool can prepare students for the test.We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist?An oft-used metric is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system. And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud(欺诈). If malicious fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.4. Which of the following is TRUE about the general trend in scientific field?A. Scientists are persistently devoted to exploration of reality.B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments' results.D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.5. What doesdeaf earsin the fourth paragraph probably refer to?A. The public.B. The incentive initiators.C. The peer researchers.D. The high-impact journal editors.6. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.B. Competition for resources inspires researchers to work in a more skeptical way.C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will not take up university professorships.D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.7. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research?A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.CAfter a year at sea, 16-year-old Laura Dekker can finally say, “Missionaccomplished!” Last month, she finished a daring trip around the world aboard her 38-foot boat, Guppy. Dekker, who is from theNetherlands, traveled more than 30,000 miles all by herself. She is the youngest person ever to sail around the globe alone.Dekker had wanted to lake on this challenge when she was even younger. She first tried to set sail at the age of 13, but a court in theNetherlandsstopped her. They said that she was too young to make such a risky trip by herself. But Dekker insisted she had the navigation skills and patience of an adult sailor.She finally took off on January 20, 2011. During her trip, Dekker battled loneliness, storms, and worries about pirates. But she also got to surf, scuba dive, and started a new hobby: playing the flute. Although Dekker didn’t spend all of her time at sea—she stopped at ports along the way—she did spend her 16lh birthday on the open ocean. To celebrate, she ate doughnuts for breakfast.But Dekker didn’t sail into the record books. Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council no longer recognize records for “youngest” sailors. They dropped the category in 2009 to discourage children fromattempting such dangerous feats (壮举).

AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。

But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning; ―There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mouse trap in the house!‖The hen clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, ―Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.‖Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, ―I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.‖Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeat the same words. The cow said, ―Moo, Mr. Mouse. I‘m sorry for you, but it‘s no skin off my nose.‖So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer‘s mousetrap alone. That very right a sound was heard throughout the house–the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer‘s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. In fact, it was a poisonous snake whose tail was cau ght in the trap. The snake bit the farmer‘s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.But his wife‘s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.The farmer‘s wife did not get well but died.

That‘s to say, totally, those workers will give up 6.2 million days of vacation, with an average of five days for each worker. For their employers, they feel happy because that is equal to a potential $500 million of ‗free‘ work, which, according to an economist will boost(使增长) the output of the economy by about two percent.The report also showed that the main reasons employees give up their remaining annual leave are due to pressures at work and their failing to appreciate that taking a break could make them more productive and, in turn, boost the economy in the long term.The research, done by price comparison website Travel Supermarket, found that more than one in four of those who will give up their remaining holidays (28 percent) will do so due to pressures at work. Bob Atkinson, travel expert for Travel Supermarket said: ―As the economy is not so satisfying, it‘s no surprise that people are cautious to take all their leave, especially if theyfeel stressed and uncertainty at work.‖ Nine percent of the 2,020 people surve yed also said they would feel guilty about taking the leave because their work would have to be taken care of by their colleagues. A further three percent said they would be concerned about how taking time off would look to their employer, while the same percentage said they did not want to miss anything interesting or beneficial at work in the time they would be away.Vicky Redwood, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said: ―Suppose that there are about 250 working days in a year, getting an extra fiv e ‗free‘ days of work from their employees could in theory boost the output of the economy by about two percent. On the other hand, if workers are less productive as a result of not getting enough breaks from work, taking all the annual leave, in fact, wi ll perhaps increase the economy.‖61. According to the report, in the UK more than a million workers .A. will not ask for leave in their working daysB. will take five days‘ leave on averageC. will work 500 million days freely for their employersD. will not take all their holiday leave this year62. Which of the following is NOT a reason why employees don‘t take all their holiday leave?A. They have a lot of pressures at work.B. They are busy and have no time because they have a lot of work to do.C. They don‘t realize that they will be more productive after taking a break.D. They don‘t think it proper to have their work taken care of by their colleagues.63. According to the report above, three percent of the people don‘t take all their holi day leavebecause ________.A. they are afraid of being found by their employers while taking holidaysB. they are under great pressure from the workC. they are worried about their employer‘s view on their taking holidaysD. they worry about losing their jobs after taking holidays64. From what Vicky Redwood said, we can infer that ________.A. not getting enough breaks from work may cause workers less productiveB. employees‘ extra five days of work will certainly boost the output of the economy byabout two percent.C. in order to boost output in the economy, employees should give up some holidaysD. the more leave the employees take, the better the economy will become65. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a report about how the workers in UK take their holidaysB. the fact that one million employees in UK don‘t take all their annual leaveC. reasons why employees give up their right to take holidaysD. how the pressures at work affect the workers in UKCRetail therapy（购物疗法）has long been considered as a good way to let off stress. Now, US scientists have discovered not only does retail therapy exist，but that it could be caused by an individual's fear of sudden death.Researchers found materialistic people thought terrorism and war more stressful than others.Psychologists believe the rise of materialism around the world and its treatment effect on extreme stress might be a response to fear of death caused by acts of terrorism, disease and natural disasters.The scientists from Michigan State University said people with possession obsessions（妄想）often have lower self-esteem than others so are more likely to shop as the result of severe psychological suffering.Ayalla Ruvio，a business professor studying people's shopping habits while rockets fell in Israel, said, "When the going gets tough, the materialistic people go shopping. This stress spending is likely to produce even greater stress and lower well-being. Essentially, materialism appears to make bad events even worse.Dr Ruvio led a two-part study of Israeli citizens living in a town that came under extreme rocket attacks for about six months in 2007. She compared 139 residents of the southern town with 170 from another town that was not under attack to see how their symptoms of post-traumatic stress and shopping habits varied. Dr Ruvio found that, when faced with a deadly threat, those who are highly materialistic suffered much higher levels of stress, while their tendency to shop was increased.Dr Ruvio said, "The relationship between materialism and stress may be more harmful thancommonly thought.‖The second stage of their research surveyed 855 Americans about their materialistic nature and fear of death. They found shopping was used to relieve feelings of stress and anxiety about death but this was in response to fear of a variety of life-threatening events like car accidents, criminal attacks and natural disasters.66. Which of the following opinion is NOT right according to the text?A. Terrorism is believed to easily cause the rise of materialism.B. The materialistic find terrorism and war more stressful than others.C. The scientists think people with possession obsessions suffer a lot mentally.D. The scientists think possession obsessions help people get self-respect.67. Why did Dr Ruvio choose to study the two groups of Israeli citizens mentioned in the passage?A. They are in different situations in terms of war.B. The stresses they face are usually deadly.C. They enjoy the special shopping culture.D. They are usuallyactive participants for researchers.68. What's the result about Dr Ruvio's research?A. Impulsive spending does good to people's health.B. Faced with great stress, people feel hopeless for life.C. Shopping can't lower one's stress as it is expected.D. Faced with threat，people's wish to shop will decrease.69. What does the underlined word ―this‖ refer to in the last paragraph?A. deathB. feelingC. stressD. shopping70. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Retail therapy is good to let off stress.B. Fearing death may lead to shopping.C. Shopping habits are related to wars.D. Greater stress can cause a lot of diseases.Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized(猜测). Faceless, bodiless "virtual" communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives."But it's important to remember this is not about the technology; it's about how it is used," says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study's sponsors. "It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology."71.___________ and psychological declineSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I still remember the days when I was a youthful student in an engineering school. I lived a casual life, without caring about the future. I smoked, drank with friends and made girl friends. Little did I realize that casualness would certainly lead to loss.Two years had passed and I was staring down a report card that highlighted FALL in more than half the subjects. I didn‘t care, at least not until my dad found about it. You see, I studied in India and unlike the United States where the students are expected to finance their own education, my dad financed me.Then came the day when my dad found out my habit of smoking. He lost his temper but he just told me, ―Son, your allowance is cut in half from this moment on‖. It hit me like a roundhouse kick(回旋踢) from Bruce Lee. I was shocked out of my bones. I couldn‘t comprehend how to pay off the debts that I had accumulated in college. I owed everybody money: the grocery store, the bars, the restaurants, my friends, etc. I was living a life filled with credit.When I went back to college, I knew that if I don‘t change the way I live my life I won‘t be able to pay everybody off. So I decided to make some changes. I quit smoking, cut off from my friends who led me down the wrong road, starting hanging out in libraries and reading my engineering books.One year later, I went from a miserable failure to a magna cum laude(优等成绩). Life was never the same again. This incident made me know that anything is possible if you take action and do something about it, however small or large. Even today it still motivates me when I feel that I‘m about to lose or give up. It reminds me that I can do it.81.
