diva(女歌手), walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance.Last Saturday, Houston was once again the 41 of the showcase before the Grammys, but her presence was a posthumous(死后的)one.Earlier that day, pop music’s former queen was fou nd dead in her hotel room.She was 48.This, no doubt, is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world, __42__ what a legendary life and remarkable career that she once had.At her peak, Houston was the golden girl of the music world.From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world’s43 artists.She strongly impressed the audiences with effortless, powerful and peerless vocals.Besides multi-million record sales, Houston made countless hits such as The Greatest Love of All, I Have Nothing, and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You.She also 44 a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey.But by the end of her career, it was a 45 fall for this superstar.Houston has been addicted to drugs.Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming.Her once calm and peaceful image was shattered by a wild manner and unusual public appearances, and her once natural voice became rough and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she 46 .“The biggest devil is me.I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told the ABC in an interview in 2002.In 2009, Houston staged what seemed to be a successful 47 with the album I Look To You, which debuted on top of the charts.But hoarse voice, 48 concerts, and continuous illness–Houston’s comeback trail wasn’t smooth at all.In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2009, Houston confessed: “It (show business)is too much.So much to try to live up to, to try to be, and I wanted out.”Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos, may she rest 49 .III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of 50 , teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.You 51 know who these people maybe (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 52 way.And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful.and unfair at first, but __53__you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens 54 or by means of good luck.Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.55 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 56 .The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.Even the 57 experiences can be learned from.In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.If someone hurts you, 58 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.If someone loves you, love them back 59 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 60 and eyes to things.Make every day count.61 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.Hold your head up because you have 62 right to.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.You can make of your life anything you wish.Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 63 .Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have 64 .And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.That’s the story of life.50.A.people B.purpose C.intention D.advantage 51.A.already B.sometimes C.should D.never 52.A.limited B.strange C.other D.profound53.A.in reflection B.in reality C.in addition D.in a way54.A.on purpose B.by any chance C.by accident D.on principle 55.A.Despite B.With C.For all D.Without 56.A.bored B.pointless C.undeserved D.meaningful 57.A.good B.different C.bad D.pleasant 58.A.betrays B.loves C.appreciates D.understands 59.A.in turn B.moderately C.unconditionally D.in a way 60.A.mouth B.mind C.heart D.emotion 61.A.Comprehend B.Appreciate C.Expect D.Evaluate62.A.every B.each C.proper D.exact 63.A.ambition B.hatred C.belief D.regrets64.A.in the future B.in stock C.in store D.in pursuitSection BDirections: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR.Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, America’s relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries.Ten years ago, for example, the world’s top five public relations agencies were American-owned.In 1991, only one was.The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative.A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的)planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S.companies.It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR.Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs.Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country.Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人)in knowing a second language.Less than 5 percent of Burson—Marshall’s U.S.employees know two languages.Ogilvy and Mather have about the same percentage.Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language.Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs.In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal.Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network).Turner recently announced that the word “foreign” would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts.According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.65.Compared with the American PR personnel, what is/are an advantage(s)of the non-Americans involved in PR?A.They tend to be more internationally mindedB.They speak more and better foreign languages.C.They usually pay more attention to global financial situation.D.Both A and B.66.What is the immediate cause of the downfall of America’s public relations?A.The number of US public relations agencies had greatly decreased by 1991.B.Other countries have increased their efforts in public relations.C.On the global scale, cultural differences have significantly shrunk.D.The British companies are becoming especially sophisticated and creative in public relations.67.It could be inferred that the author of the passage is______.A.an American B.a BritonC.Ted Turner D.an Asian68.The underlined word “provincial” in paragraph 3 could possibly mean “”.A.strict in thinking B.like people from rural areasC.limited in outlook D.interested in geographical knowledge(B)There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown.They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another.In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same.The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology.It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing.In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的)peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared.Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings.Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use.The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of ascent (进步).The progress from a rattle used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness.Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.69.Which is a major factor leading to the different variations of toys?A.Scientific advances and technological progressB.Different local customs and lifestyles of different peoplesC.Craftsmanship, mechanics, and technologyD.The artistic tastes of the times and the limitations of available materials70.Why do boys and girls play with different kinds of toys?A.Because they are intended for different social roles and responsibilities.B.Because boys like to invent and girls imitate.C.Because boys play with their fathers while girls their mothers.D.Because they will take up different jobs when they grow up.71.One amazing aspect about the “universality of toys” is______.A.They appeared all over the world almost at the same time in history.B.They have not changed except in craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology.C.Having existed for thousands of years, toys are still found all over the world today.D.They are a kind of art form, which has been promoted by inventiveness.(C)The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away.An initiative(措施)started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited, and far too easily exploited, indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college is compared with its competitors nationally on important criteria like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to run up by graduation day.If the federal government makes it legally necessary to disclose this information in a clear and consistent(一贯的)way, as it should, families will be better able to make informed college choices.And this will help put pressure on colleges that perform poorly to improve.Critics may regard this initiative as an example of government overreach.But given that the federal government spends nearly $190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a legitimate interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students.Congress has taken some steps to require greater transparency(透明)from colleges.The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates.And the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account.But many colleges have done a poor job of obeying federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place.The administration’s new efforts woul d enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools.President Obama wants to expand campus-based aid to about $10 billion from the current $2.7 billion.He has proposed moving money away from colleges that fail to control tuition increases or provide good value to others that do a better job.That is a worthy idea in principle, but he will need strong data-based evidence to determine how colleges are doing.The transparency initiatives are a good place to start and should be embraced by both parties in Congress.If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information.72.Why did the Obama administration start the initiative last fall?A.To require colleges to make their graduation rates known to the public.B.To help colleges perform better in the future.C.To help parents and students make better choices of colleges.D.To put more pressure on colleges that are not doing well enough.73.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Critics agree that the government should require colleges to obey the disclosure rules.B.Congress has approved and made the transparency initiatives a law.C.SAT scores alone do not determine one’s choice of college.D.Students and families find it very difficult to choose their ideal colleges now.74.A most suitable title for the passage could be______.A.Congress To Require Greater TransparencyB.What College Parents and Students Need to KnowC.What a Good College Is Measured ByD.Parents and Students Need to Make Wise Choices75.What attitude does the author hold towards the transparency initiative?A.supportive B.criticalC.indifferent D.not statedSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.__________Lin(Jeremy Shu-How Lin)got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him.They had too many injuries.Baron Davis was gone.The other point guards were out.Carmelo Anthony was injured.Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death.Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed.But he made the most of it.You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life.Often, they’re wh en you least expect them.Make the most of them.Don’t waster them.77.__________Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.He’s not a pure scorer.He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well.It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Hous ton – where he was before landing at the Knicks.But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths.You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry)that is a good fit for those strengths.Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table.78.__________You probably manage people at your own company today.Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now? How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with? How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues? We put people around u s in boxes.He’s from Harvard.He’s Asian-American.Not sure he can play.How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers.With all their money, scouts(球探), and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands.Do you know what your people (or even yourself)are really capable of? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.79.__________If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head.It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all thismedia craze.It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.80.__________Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills.There are no short cuts to hard work.Success is a by product of that.If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great.If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom! Get up early, stay up late.Nobody gave Lin any free passes.Why should you get any? You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Hidden deep in our subconscious is an idyllic(牧歌般的,田园诗式的)vision.We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent.We are traveling by train.Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station.Bands will be playing and flags waving.Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle.How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for hanging around—waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry.“When I’m 18.”; “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!”; “When I put the last kid through college.”; “When I paid off the mortgage!”; “When I get a promotion.”; “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!” Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all.The true joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.“Relish(享受)the moment” is a good motto, es pecially when coupled with Psalm 180: 24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow.Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less.Life must be lived as we go along.The station will come soon enough.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)81.What does the author of this passage compare life to?______________________________________________________________________________.82.Hidden in the uppermost part of our minds is_______________________________________.83.Life is made dull and boring by________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.84.According to the author, what is the true meaning of life?______________________________________________________________________________.第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.她把毕生奉献于教育。

Making contact with the college students in your area, or identifyingstudents with similar interests will do you good.When you visit the college, try to sit down in class, eat in a cafeteria, and hangout in a student center or other busy areas. This will help you imagine that you arepart of the community. Ask a few students if they will make the same college choiceif they have to do it again. Go back to the first item on the list when you considerthe information you have collected about the college. You’ll have a lot of options! Questions:Which of the following is true when you choose a college?Why does the speaker say “College is not a prize.”?What’s the main idea of the passage?【11题详解】此题为听力题,解析略。

DisruptJ20 (22) (involve) in organizing protests against the Trump administration.Dream Host bristled at the court order and filed (23) appeal. Company special counsel Chris Ghazarian told me that Dream Host rarely gets requests to turn over that much client information. IP addresses, in particular, can identify (24) computers visited a site, when they visited, what they viewed and (25) how long.

On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25,used Instagram to explain why she was “laying low” this summer.She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friendFrancia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplantfrom her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious.Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up.According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou,roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attackin g the kidneys.Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses seriously, like she initially did.Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease.Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic women, according to the Lupus Foundation.Raisa is Latina, and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same ethnicity, people who share a similar background sometimes are better matched,according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing.24. What can we learn about Francia Raisa?A. She is lucky.B. She is selfless.C. She is optimistic.D. She is encouraging.25.What is lupus like at its early stage?A. It is deadly.B. It is hard to recognize.C. Its symptoms are psychological.D. It reminds you of a kidney disease.26.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People with lupus.B. Colored women lupus patients.C. Lupus patients with kidney disease.D. Womenbetween the ages of 15 to 44.27.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Raisa and Gomez have a similar background.B. Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.C. It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.D. The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better.CA few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight homefor the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of thedriver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few youngchildren, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughterof two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure mysuccess. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents.That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in therearview windo w, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. Ibecame his daughter, all grown up —theproduct of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?”I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knewit might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in,his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and youstudy history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life.He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We areto become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to makemoney and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made acrossgenerations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role inthe narrative(故事) of upward mobilityso your children can do the same.I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself Iwon’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “butI plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod,and enjoy the warmth of the oc casion.28.What disappointed the driver?A. The author’s attitude towards him.B. Theschool that the author is attending.C. The author’s majors in history and literature.D. The author’s interests in African American studies.29. Which of the following ca n replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4?A. wastingB. creatingC. valuingD. seizing30. Whyare immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers?A. Their parents want them to move upwardin society.B. Their parents are high achieving as well.C. They have more opportunities.D. They are very smart in general.31. How did the author react to the driver’s questioning?A. Getting upset.B. Feeling satisfied.C. Defending herself.D. Appreciating his concern.DWhat’s small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers?If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldn’t be the first ifyou mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of consideringthe two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them studyhummingbird behavior, too.Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying howanimals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to makechoices in order to minimizethe work it takes to earn maximum rewards.Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which theyvisited flowers, and where flowers were located relative to others. It was “almostlike an algorithm(算法)” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at theUniversity of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and beeshad similar solutions.As the field of animal cognition(认知) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientistsand behavioral ecologists developed ways to study beebehavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers comparedhummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to studytheir ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advancedeyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social;hummingbirds typically aren’t.But however they perceive(感知) or process information, they both experiencesimilar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely on more of abee’s-eye view than a bird’s-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks,distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but theydon’t use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away fromwhere a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower’s originallocation. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in viewmatching —hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using thoseas references later.32.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?A.
