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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Internet companies often receive requests by law enforcement for customer information to help with ongoing investigation. Rarely, however, (21) a court order hit up a Web hosting company for upwards of 1.3 million IP addresses to find out who's been visiting a particular Web site.That's exactly what happened recently when the U.S. Justice Department tried to get the company Dream Host to turn over contact information, e-mails, photos and data related to a Web site called DisruptJ20. 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. IP address can also be used to reveal a Web user’s identity.The Justice Department later revised its request, saying it was not going to force Dream Host to turn over text and photos from blog posts written but never (26) (post) to DisruptJ20.A Washington, D.C., Superior Court then (27) (far) amended the government’s request. The judge asked the Justice Department to list the names of all government investigators who will have access to Dream Host's data and to explain how it will search through the data to gather evidence against Trump dissenters. Justice (28) (bar) from sharing the information with other government agencies.We’ll see whether the government ends up prosecuting(起诉) anyone (29) (use) Dream Host's data. If that happens it could drive digital civil disobedience to encrypted (加密) mobile apps or possibly the Dark web, a largely uncharted online realm (30) it's easier to remain anonymous.That would raise disturbing questions about the state of citizens’ First Amendment11 rights in the U.S these days.21.【答案】does/has/will【解析】rarely作为半否定词放在句首,句子要部分倒装,本空缺一个助动词,根据时态判断出答案可为does/has/will。

The idea ___29___ no two countries that had McDonald’s restaurants would go to wat suited the post-cold was 1990s. Unfortunately, as war is now back on the menu, McDonald’s is ___30___(likely)to prevent a fifth war between India and Pakistan. Newer American brands, such as Apple, Uber and Starbucks, are powering ahead.almost instantly. It requires no buttons to be pressed, being always ready to read your face.For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email, send a text or make a call, it will be easy and pretty“cool”to use. However, as we grow ___32___ to the technology, we cannot become numb(麻木的)to the problems that come with it.Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to ___33___ people who jaywalk(乱穿马路). In the United States, more than half of all adults are in a facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify ___34___ shoplifters. However, different uses of facial recognition produce different levels of ___35___. Camera distance, lighting, facial pose all affect the accuracy. Officials at the New York Police Department, for example, have ___36___ at least five misidentifications by their facial recognition system. If the iPhone’s new system is similarly ___37___, no one will consider it to be acceptable security for our personal information. Luckily, it probably won’t be. But for many of the systems elsewhere, mistakes and ___38___ of privacy might be unavoidable.As the smartphone of choice for many users, the iPhone’s inclusion of facial recognition may encourage consumers to accept the technology elsewhere. However, even as we choose to explore the convenience, facialrecognition might offer, we should also be ___39___ to the many ways it can be used. Facial recognition may well be ___40___. Its risks need not be.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection AIn interview, famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to“do what you love.”But ___41___ a skill, even one that you deeply love, calls for plenty of drills. Any challenging activity—from computer programming to playing a musical instrument to athletics—requires ___42___ practice. A perfect golf swing or faultless butterfly stroke(蝶冰)takes countless hours of practice and repetitions to perfect. Anyone who wants to have a good command, a skill must go through the ___43___ of practice, critical feedback, polish, and increasing improvement again, again, and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take ___44___ in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be ___45___ or boring. Why?The ___46___ may depend on the ability to enter into a state of “flow,” the feeling of being completely involved in what you are doing. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has definite goals and where the individual is able to ___47___ their performance to clear and immediate feedback. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” “in a groove,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the concept of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at an appropriate skill level, and where the individual is able to adjust their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Caikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most ___48___ entered into flow states had an“autotelic personality”—a tendency to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills and they have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their ability to focus on tasks rather than rewards have a great ___49___ over others in developing their innate(天生的)abilities. But how can we get into a flow state for an activity so that we enjoy both the process of improving skills and the ___50___ of being a master?___51___ for those of us who don’t necessarily possess an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be ___52___ by environmental factors. For instance, in Montessori schools, students do not study by following direct instruction. ___53___, they are encouraged to develop and pursue personal interests. Competition is ___54___ and grading is not emphasized. Students are grouped together according to shared interests, rather than separated by ability.While there isn’t yet a pill that can turn dull practice into an exciting activity for anyone, it is comforting that we seem to be able to advance into flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimum distractions, and a task set at a moderate level of ___55___, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.

One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁) patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it — more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it’s a very, very low quit rate if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, ‘Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s almost practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal before they even reached the quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting suddenly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s a compelling number, and I think that translates to the patient. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.56. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A. She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.B. She succeeded in quitting smoking suddenly.C. She was also a researcher of tobacoo and health.D. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.57. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?A. They were given physical training.B. They were looked after by physicians.C. They were encouraged by psychologist.D. They were offered nicotine replacement.58. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?A. It is idealized.B. It is predictable.C. It is positive.D. It is misleading.59. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A. They find it even more difficult.B. They are simply unable to make it.C. They show fewer withdrawal symptom.D. They feel much less pain in the process.(C)Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures“everything except that which makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a faulty concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to transformed growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria(标准)from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more comprehensive assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes, there has been a budding(初见端倪的)economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes—all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the heralded(预示的)disaster and may even see progress.63. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ____.A. the UK is reluctant to reshape its economic patternB. GDP as the measure of success is widely opposed in the UKC. the UK will contribute less to the world economyD. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP64. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study?A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable.D. Its results are inspiring.65.In the last two paragraphs, the author suggests that ______.A. the UK is preparing for an economic boomB. high GDP foreshadows an economic declineC. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDPD. it requires caution to handle economic issues66. Which of the fallowing is the best title for the text?A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being, a UK LessonB. GDP Figures, a Window on Global Economic HealthC. Robert F. Kennedy, a Terminator of GDPD. Brexit, the UK’s Gateway to Well-beingSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentencecoming year 2018. People may use the New Year as a time to turn over a new leaf. Are you planning to make a New Year Resolution? Here are a few tips for preparing to be successful with all your New Year Resolutions.1. A Single Change Is EnoughYou can’t stick to two to three resolutions at a time. You would eventually break one of them for sure. ___67___. Don’t get overwhelmed and think that you have to reassess everything in your life. But, don’t break that one resolution you make, because that is important.2. Write Down Your ResolutionsOnce you have decided on your achievable resolutions, writhe them down. It helps to write down your resolution so you can refer back to it often during the year. ___68___. Also, by writing it down, you will be able to review it often and evaluate your progress since the time the resolution was made.4. Ask For SupportTell a friend or your loved ones whom you trust about your resolution. They will provide you with support and keep you focused on your goal. And if you are wavering at all, their support will ensure you don’t give up easily. Besides, it is advisable to join an online support group for specific resolutions such as losing weight, giving up chocolate, or training for the next marathon. ___69___. In turn, be sure to help boost other people’s resolutions! 5. Accept FailureIt is true that perfection is what people pursue. ___70___. Don’t give up completely because you ate a brownie and broke your diet or skipped the gym, for a week because you were busy. You must accept anything that comes your way. It is not easy to stick to something that requires lot of patience and will. Everyone has ups and downs; resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on the right track.Ⅱ. Summary WritingAlthough students have spent considerable time and energy in school in preparation for the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the shift from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjustingto life on the job.Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. He believes that most of our school experiences—from childhood through university—are fairly predictable, while life in the working world is far more uncertain. In school, for example, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly.Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. In school, many students including those in college spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they “learned”on tests. But in the workplace employees“are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor’s instructions.”Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In the workplace, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success. Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork—and deal with problems when they arise—is extremely important, and yet, it is also something many students don’t get quite exposed to in a school setting. How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace? Recent graduates, looking back on their educational experience, have some advice. Many think that all students should be required to do an internship(实习)while they are in school. Volunteering part time at a company, hospital, or government organization, for example, can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world. Pairing this kind of practical work experience with classroom instruction, say the graduates, will help prepare students for the realities of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful.Ⅱ.

Those at highest risk can take medicine, but Vanderbilt University researcher Timothy Sterling says not everyone (43) ______ with the treatment, which is a daily dose of isoniazid(异烟肼,抗结核药)for nine months. So although the medication is highly effective if people take all of their medication, many people do not take all their medication and therefore the effectiveness of the treatment plan is (44)______. As a(n)(45) ______, Sterling and his colleagues (46) ______ isoniazid with another drug, rifapentine(利福喷汀).The combination was taken weekly, not daily, for just three months.

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)If a person who lived 200 years ago was treated for a seizure(癫痫)today, they would be surprised by the treatment’s freshness. That’s because doctors in the 1800s were influenced more by original medical beliefs than science.Rather than thinking the brain caused seizures, people in the 1800s still thought they were the result of strange forces. They associated seizures with the work of evil spirits. Others felt that the seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause. They believed that the cycles of the moon and stars could make someone have a seizure.During a process to treat a patient who has seizures, doctors would force the patient to pray for the grace of the God. They thought if the patient did this, then the patient would rid themselves of the evil spirits causing the seizures.The arrival of modern psychiatry(精神病学)occurred during the 1800s. At that time people who suffered from seizures were placed in psychiatric hospitals. They were treated like they were mad. However, none of the out-of-date treatments worked.It wasn’t until the late 1850s that the causes of seizures were understood. We know today that these causes are related to the brain. Misfired signals from the brain cause a jerking reflex(反射)in the body. These usually occur when someone is very tired.Once the causes of seizures were known, definitive treatments were developed.Today, treatments range from taking pills to having surgery. Treatment is personalized according to thetype of seizure the patient has.Even today, some people are unsure about seizures. Their most common mistake is thinking that a person having a seizure will swallow their tongue. They often push some implement roughly in the person’s mouth. However, this doesn’t help. The implement often blocks the airway and prevents the person from breathing. Yet most of the public no longer fear people who have seizures. Instead, they can now help and comfort a person if they have a seizure.56. Why would someone from the past be surprised by today’s treatments for seizures?A. Because they believed in scientific treatment for seizures.B. Because they believed seizures were caused by strange forces in nature.C. Because they believed there would be no cure for seizures.D. Because they believed patient would treat seizures by himself.57. During the arrival of modern psychiatry, how were people treated in psychiatric hospitals?A. They were forced to ask the God for mercy.B. They worked for the old-fashioned treatment.C. They were considered senseless.D. They were treated as evil spirits.58. Which of the following condition can cause a seizure?A. Rashes and other skin problems.B. Infected wounds.C. Stomach disorders.D. Brain injuries.59. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Symptoms Old and NewB. Universal Forces or ScienceC. Seizures Now and ThenD. Treatments Effective or Not(B)How a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood?African elephantsThese beautiful beasts come close to imitate teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups ---- and ladies stay there ---- but adolescent boys leave mom for noisy crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male groups.Orangutans (猩猩)Slow metabolism allows these primates to survive food shortages ----times when weather makes ripe fruit scarce. But energy efficiency comes at a cost; growth and maturation take time.Orangutan mamas nurse their young longer than any other wild creature does.Orcas(逆戟鲸)Killer whales join their mother’s familial group for life. This lasting-relationship seems to increase a pup’s chance of survival; if mom dies, a young male (under 30) is three times more likely to die than a peer whose mother is alive. Risk of death post-mom-mortem rises as kids get older.Harp sealsA harp seal’s “childhood” lasts just 12 days. A pup’s sole purpose during that brief period of coddling(宠爱) is to constantly nurse, gaining a fifth of its birth weight in blubber(鲸脂) every day. Once it’s fat ---- they become greater from 25 to 80 pounds ---- it slides off the ice and takes on the sea.Wolf spidersEvery parent knows that tired toddlers love to hitch a piggyback ride. The wolf spider straps all her babies (40 or 50, on average) onto her back at once, carrying the brood until they are capable of fully functional spider-hood. But luckily she only has to pull them for a few days.60. According to the passage, which animals take the biggest responsibility in raising their young?A. Harp seals.B. African elephantsC. Orcas.D.

Baby spiders can make full use of spider-hood before they leave their parents.62. Who will be interested in this passage?A. A student who is doing a project on animal growth.B. A kid who is keen on animal watching.C. A zoo-worker who is responsible for visitors’ safety.D. A doctor who specializes in animals’ health.(C)As advances in auto-technology have placed a huge number of self-driving machines on our roads and sidewalks, a side product has materialized in recent years: robot-babysitting.In Phoenix, human attendants will remotely monitor Google’s upcoming Waymo robot-taxis, using the cars cameras to evaluate and adapt to passenger or road challenges. State safety regulations typically require that auto-vehicles be accompanied at all times by humans. These professionals’ job titles range from “robot handler” to “safety driver,” but they have essentially the same responsibilities: monitoring robot behavior for safety and performance, and answeringquestions about the technology. Broadly speaking, robot-babysitting jobs fall under the umbrella of careers in automation, which include maintenance, engineering, and programming. However, some observers note that certain kinds of robot-babysitting –-- the kind that is boring and doesn’t require much education –-- can make for thankless work. The safety drivers who sit in self-driving cars have described their roles as“exhausting” and “demanding,” and many told me about the constant pressure to stay vigilant at all times. “It’s incredibly hard to sit in a chair and stare at a computer without doing anything for eight hours,” Ramsey said. “But you do not need a Ph.D. to do it.” In March 2018, the field of robot babysitting took a beating when a self-driving Uber in Tempe, Arizona, hit a 49-year old named Elaine Herzberg. Dashcam footage showed that Rafaela V asquez, the car’s safety driver, had not been looking at the road when the accident occurred. Investigators are deciding if Vasquez will be charged with murder.According to the McKinsey Global Institute, 10 million to 800 million jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. In the long term, it’s inevitable that robot-babysitters will go the way of elevator operators and lamplighters. But they’ll also birth new robot-related roles.“A huge number of jobs will be created as auto-vehicles are loosed into the environment,” Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a community college in Michigan, in auto-vehicle repair: Toyota has trained students in maintenance as well. “We might even see a return to low-level jobs where people come and fuel the car for you,”Ramsey said. “Until we can wirelessly charge, someone needs to refuel them.” The hardest-to-automate industries, as it happens, are the ones that require looking after humans: childcare, education, health-care aides. Robot babysitters might feel like they have gained the job of the future. But in fact, real babysitters might be better positioned.63. Robot-babysitting jobs do NOT include _______________.A. answering the questions about the technique.B. observing the certain kinds of the robot-babysitter.C. monitoring the potential problems of the auto-vehicles.D. maintaining the vehicles which are out of order.64. The underlined word “vigilant” most probably means “.”A. gratefulB. suspiciousC. fitD. alert65. According to Ramsey, what will happen when auto-vehicles are released into the market?A. A lot of opportunities will be created.B. A large number of people will be out of work.C. Auto-vehicles will become much cheaper.D. Many people will turn to buying auto-cars.66. What’s this passage mainly about?A. The Rise and Fall of Robot Babysitters.B. The Future of Auto-Vehicles.C. The Life and Employment of the Future.D. The Position of Robot Babysitters.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Among the pile of stars in the universe, there are a couple that are of great importance to people on Earth. The sun, of course, is one of them. The other is known as Polaris, the North Star.(67) __________. Therefore, it is a great compass(指南针).When people in the northern part of Earth look toward Polaris, they can be certain that they are facing north. The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped countless people find their destinations.Before the invention of modern navigation tools, sailors relied on Polaris. From the top of their ships, sailors would look for Polaris to figure out their place at sea. They figured out the angle between the star and the horizon to determine their latitude(纬度). As long as the equations were not wrong, the results were very reliable. Polaris also let sailors determine North, South, East, and West. (68) _____________To those who sail at night, changeable storms and dark clouds were more than annoying things.(69)_____________.It’s possible for a captain to make an accidentalwrong turn. The ship could become stranded at sea, and the frustrated captain would have no way to get the ship back on the right course. The sailor’s fears wouldn’t be relieved until the clouds cleared and Polaris came back into view. Even today, sailors sometimes choose to steer by using Polaris on clear nights.(70)___________. The Big Dipper, a constellation that is well known in astrology, appears to revolve around Polaris. The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star. When people get lost, it’s comforting to know that their problems can be relieved by looking at the sky.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Unfair ComparisonsThanks to social media, the distance between friends is smaller than ever. But doesthat make us happier? Not necessarily. Arecent study has found spending too muchtime comparing your life with the seeminglyperfect lives of your friends on social media can result in depressive symptoms.We’ve all done it ----browsing through our WeChat friends’ updates while feeling that green-eyed monster holding its head inour minds: Are their homes bigger and more tasteful? Are their vacationsmore expensive and exciting? Are their careers more successful and rewarding?Comparison is the thief of joy. The moretime you spend on social media, the morelikely it is for you to feel depressive symptoms, according to a new study out of University of Houston.The study, led by Mai-Ly Steers, examinesthe potential impact online social comparison can have on a person’s mental health.“The underlying mechanism is socialcomparison,”Steers said.“Thereason why you feel these feelings is that youtend to socially compare yourself with yourfriends.”This social comparison theory was popularized by US psychologist Leon Festinger in the 1950s. According to an article in The Atlantic, Festinger argued that people have born tendencies to track their progressand measure their self-worth by comparing themselves with other people. That socialcomparison leads to feelings of insignificance and insecurity. Research has sincefound that making social comparisons, especially upward comparisons(to people we think above us for whatever reason), areassociated with negative health outcomeslike depressive symptoms and decreasedself-esteem.“You can’t really control the strong desire to compare because you never know whatyour friends are going to post. Inaddition, most of our friends tend to postabout the good things that occur in theirlives, while leaving out the bad. If we’recomparing ourselves with our friends’‘sharable highlights’, this may lead us to think theirlives are better than they actually are, and thus make us feel worse about ourown lives.”So if you are the jealous type, maybethink about signing off of your WeChat for a while. Your well-being may depend on it.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 尽管他已经非常尽力,他还是没能弥补损失。

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. Memory.B. Movement rules.C. Reward calculating.D. Information processing.33.Which subject’s research methodswere adoptedto study the learnin g ability of Hummingbirds?A. Math.B. Biology.C. Ecology.D. Psychology.34.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?A. By setting them free.B. By moving flowers.C. By matching view.D. By making maps.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Hummingbirds and BeesB. Hummingbirds in the LabC. New Trends in Studying BeesD.
