Grammar and vocabularySection ADocumentary Shares Moving Story of POWs’ RescueAs the documentary The Sinking of Lisbon Mar u ended in the British Film Institute’s Southbank theater in London, England on Tuesday, long- lasting applause erupted, and tears welled up in the eyes of many in the audience.The Lisbon Maru was 21 armed Japanese cargo ship that participated in World WarII, and thedocumentary told the lesser- known story of hardship, horror, tragedy, and courage 22 surrounded its sinking while transporting more than 1,800 British prisoners of war, or POWs, from Hong Kong toward Japan.The sinking by a US submarine happened 23 the vessel did not bear a sign indicating it was carrying POWs, who were battened(封住底舱)down below deck at the time and who were left to drown by the Japanese soldiers on the ship.When the Lisbon Mar u went down off the coast of East China’s Zhejiang province on Oct 2, 1942, local Chinese fishermen 24 ( spring) into action, pulling 384 POWs from the water. 25 800 went down with the ship.Fang Li, 26 produced the documentary, said:“ It’s an untold history. We see the bravery of our Chinese fishermen. We hear heart- breaking stories of individual British families, one after another. And we are angered by Japan’s attempt 27 ( cover) up the brutal crime.”Wearing a T- shirt with the coordinates(坐标) 122°45’31.14”E, 30°13’44.42”N, which are those of the 28 (sink) Lisbon Maru, Fang said he first heard about the incident from a ferry captain while shooting another film in 2013. Moved by the story, Fang surveyed the area in2016 and, 29 sonar detectors installed on drones, located the wreck.In the following years, he and his team contacted more than 380 relatives of the POWs and interviewed 120 of them, 30 ( include) the only two British survivors still alive at the time.“While I was doing this, I was totally touched by those young boys, the age of my son. So many of them lost their lives there,” he told the BBC in 2018 after posting adverts in British newspapers seeking descendants of the POWs.Section BA. quicklyB. analyzeC. programmedD. adoptionE. drawbacksF. runG. dramatic H. transform I. distracted J. peacefully K. prospectImagine an urban neighborhood where most of the cars are self- driving. What would it be like to be a pedestrian?Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the 31 of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard- Ball looks at the 32 of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are“ autonomous” or self- driving. It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to 33 travel behavior,” Millard- Ball says. He uses game theory to 34 the interaction between pedestrians and self- driving vehicles, with a focus on yielding(让行)at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are designed to avoid risks, Millard- Ball’s model thinks autonomous vehicles may bring about a shift towards pedestrian- oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard- Ball also finds that the 35 of autonomous vehicles may be influenced by their strategic disadvantage that slows them down in urban traffic.“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,” Millard- Ball writes. Crossing the street, even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the odds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street 36 , instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off against theprobability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in running them down-usually. But there is the chance a driver may be 37 or drunk.Self- driving cars are 38 to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians to cross. They could provide the most 39 transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard- Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self- driving cars-avoiding boredom of traffic and traffic accidents-may be outweighed by the 40 of an always play- it- safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with unaccompanied five- year- old children,” Millard- Ball writes.Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian- oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.II. Reading ComprehensionsSection AWhy some brilliant ideas get overlooked?In 1928, Karl Jansky, a young radio engineer at Bell Telephone Laboratories, began researching static interference that might obscure voice transmissions. Five years later, after building a large rotating antenna(天线) and investigating every possibility he could think of, he published his remarkable 41 : some of the static was coming from the Milky Way.Jansky’s theory was eye- catching enough to be published in The New York Times but scientists were 42 . Radio signals from outer space? Surely, they were too weak to detect. Jansky’s ideas were largely 43 for about a decade. He died at the age of 44.Thankfully, he lived long enough to see his ideas blossom into field of radio astronomy.Jansky’s story resonates with us: we all like the idea of the researcher who is so far ahead of their 44 that it takes years for the rest of the world to catch up. Gregor Mendel’s research into plant genetics is a famous example-published in 1866, it was only verified and taken seriously in 1900.The stories of Jansky and Mendel hold out some hope to anyone who feels that the world has not quite 45 their brilliance. There is even a name for such cases, coined by Anthony van Raan of Leiden University:“ Sleeping Beauties”, scientific papers that receive almost no citations for years, before finding wide 46 . (Some scholars argue that the term is sexist and prefer “delayed recognition”.)So what is it about an idea that delays recognition? One view is that brilliant ideas are overlooked when delivered by obscure messengers. Jansky and Mendel were somewhat detached from (离开) the scientific 47 . In 1970, the sociologist Stephen Col e published an analysis arguing that the obstacle tended to lie in the 48 of the idea itself, rather than the prestige of the scientist behind it. Ideas fell asleep for a hundred years because they were radical, or confusing, or both.It is difficult to be sure. Two scholars of the field, Eugene Garfield and Wolfgand Glanzel, have argued that such 49 of delayed recognition are so rare as to be hard to analyze. Studying papers published in 1980 from the vantage (优势) point of 2004, they looked for articles that were barely cited for five years, then subsequently 50 . They found just 60 examples in 450,000 cases. There are plenty of examples of research that is barely cited; what is rare istheir subsequent popularity.Why, then, is this myth such a compelling one? One explanation, of course, is that we all love a story of the underdog(黑马) who triumphs against 51 . Immediate and sustained success is as boring as immediate and sustained failure.Another is that scientists themselves are fond of the thought that their ideas are 52 . In an essay on delayed recognition, Garfield notes mildly that one historian of science, Derek Price, believed one of his own papers was suffering delayed recognition. It is easy to chuckle, but it is also easy to empathize.Delayed recognition is rare. Much more 53 is for people simply to reach their prime late in life. David Galenson is an economist who studies the creative output of musicians, artists, directors and others. Galenson has found that while it is quite possible to 54 as a radical young conceptual artist, there are many examples of“ old masters” whose later works are more admired than their youthful ones.We all need to be able to hold on to the idea that the best is yet to come. But it is too tempting to hope that what we have already produced will, one day, be recognized for its brilliance. Good things do not come to those who wait, if 55 is all they do. It is wiser to get back to work and make something better.41. A. paper B. device C. invention D. conclusion42. A. unreliable B. unimpressed C. unsatisfactory D. uncomfortable43.

You have systemic lupus, he said matter- of- factly. “Lupus,” he continued,“ is an auto- immune disease and …”I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children.“ Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression.”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms of tiredness and joint pain were both consistent with what I wasexperiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one- year- old son and three- year- old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. How could one endure repeatedly hear desperate words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly,“So, let’s talk a little.”Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow- up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirsteincame came to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn’t know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but in happiness. Every day wasa gift and I knew it.56. Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because ______.A. The process of giving birth put her life in dangerB. Taking care of children will gradually worsen her diseaseC. Her disease will threaten the health of her childrenD. She already has enough children57. Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits?A. Because she was not qualified to treat her disease.B. Because he recommended Dr. Kirkstein to her.C. Because his cold attitude upset the author.D. Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.58. How did the author deal with the disease?A. She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B. she took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C. She turned to Dr. Kirstein to get cure for the disease.D. She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.59. Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A. Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B. Because she made every day valuable in spite of disease.C. Because she received a gift every day from her family.D. Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.(B)The data behind the push for a four- day weekDe- StressStaff at PerpetualGuardian reportedtheir stress levelsdecreased from 45 percent to 38 per centafter a four- day week.9-New working hours5After the Industrial Revolution, our working day decreasedTHE SLACKERS OF THE G7According to the Office for National Statistics, the UK’s GrossDomestic Product per hour worked is 15.1 per cent lower than therest of the G7, ( labelled G7exUK in graph).ways, in the tail end of a post- manufacturing industry style of working.“I think we have an overemphasis(B)Pursuit Marketing, based in Glasgow, declared Fridays to be voluntary for all staff in September2016. Following an initial 37 per cent productivity increase, which operations director Lorraine Gray owes to the novelty factor, total productivity settled to almost 30 percent higher than before the change.“I think it works really well here because it’s part of an overall culture of wellbeing,” says Gray.” Everyone is really clear that the focus is on the work- life balance and making sure everyone can be the best version of themselves.”Having less time to complete the same tasks drives staff to work efficiently. “Just shifting to thinking about’ How can I do my work in less time?’ focuses people’s attention on what it is important for them to do. They make slightly more strategic decisions over the actions that are going to result in higher levels of productivity,” explains Prof Paul Redford, an occupational psychologist at the University of the West of England.The 9 to 5, five- day week is a relatively recent invention in the history of human work. It was the result of muchcampaigning to reduce working hours once the Industrial Revolution had provided technology to vastly improve productivity. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) believes that we should once more take advantage of the rewards of our technological boom, in particular AI and automation, and shorten our working week further.“The Industrial Revolution, with the promotion of factory- based working, shifted the nature of work to this 9 to 5,’ says Redford. “We’re still, in some on productivity. Sometimes the focus on wellbeing is saying that it’s good to have high level of wellbeing because it’s more productive; I think that wellbeing is not a bad aim in and of itself.”60. What does “the novelty factor”( paragraph 1) refer to?A. Productivity increased by 38%.B. Workers needn’t work on Fridays.C. Pursuit Marketing was based in Glasgow.D. Total productivity settled to almost 30% higher.61. What conclusion can be drawn from the column of“ The data behind the push for a four- day week”?A. G7exUK in graph refers to the members of the G7 inclusive of the UK.B. The working hours per week decreased greatly in the decade from 1920 to 1930.C.38% of the staff members at Perpetual Guardian were against the four- day week.D. Workers in Germany were about 35% more productive than those in the UK in 2016.62. In terms of a four- day work week, which of the following statements is Prof Paul Redford most likely to agree with?A. Everyone can become the best decision maker.B. High productivity can improve workers’ wellbeing.C. Workers may ignore the importance of productivity.D. AI and automation has resulted in a shorter working week.(C)Imagine a world in which your life is filled with intelligent advertisements. Jaron Lanier, who was an adviser on “Minority Report”, asci- fi film, worries that this could be the future. A few platform firms, he fears, will control what consumers see and hear and other companies will have to use some of their profits (by buying ads) to gain access to them.That may sound ridiculous, but it is increasingly what investors are banking on. The total market value of a basket of a dozen American firms that depend on ad revenue, or are designing their strategies around it, has risen by 126% over the past five years. The part of America’s economy that is ad- centric has become systematically important, with a market value that is larger than the banking industry.The huge sums being bet on advertising raise a question: how much of it can America take?A back- of- the- envelope calculation by Schumpeter suggests that stock prices currently imply that American advertising revenues will rise from 1% of GDP today, to as much as 1.8% of GDP by 2027-a massive-mp. Since 1980 the average has been 1.3%, according to Jonathan Barnard of Zenith, a media agency, and in the past few years the advertising market relative to GDP has been shrinking.There are reasons why it might go on, points out Bob Norman of Group M, another media agency. In the old days advertisers in Time magazine or on billboards in Times Square were what only giant firms could afford. But techplatforms have done a brilliant job of persuading smaller companies to spend money targeting customers.Adverts could become even more effective at identifying customers and attracting them to spend money, using data that have been gathered to anticipate their needs. As commerce shifts online, firms will cut back on conventional marketing, freeing up budgets to spend more on digital ads.Yet there is a logical limit to the size of the advertising market: the irritation factor, or how much consumers can absorb without being put off. The golden rule used to be that ads could comprise no more than 33-50% of TV or radio programming, or of a magazine’s pages, says Rishad Tobacco wala, of Publicis, an advertising firm. The digital world is already showing signs of saturation. More people are using ad- blocking software. Tech brands that avoid bombarding(狂轰滥炸) customers with ads, such as Apple and Netflix, are wildly popular.63. What can be learned from paragraph 2?A. Some decisions that investors make are ridiculous.B. Investors are optimistic about intelligent advertising.C. The banking industry itself has been shrinking greatly.D. More American firms devote themselves to advertising.64. According to Bob Norman, why might American advertising revenues account for a larger part of GDP?A. Conventional marketing is losing its appeal.B. Giant firms will spend much more on advertising.C. Advertising will be available to more and more firms.D. Customers are becoming more willing to spend money.65. By “The digital world is already showing signs of saturation”( paragraph 6), the writer means that ______.A. ad- blocking software needs to be used more widelyB. customers can hardly skip a website filled with advertisementC. the digital world is not as advanced as commonly thoughtD. the online advertising market may have reached its limit66. What is the passage mainly about?A. The limits of intelligent advertising.B. The prospects of intelligent advertising.C. The advantages of intelligent advertising.D. The dominance of intelligent advertising.Section CA. Making only mindful purchases, and looking for ways to recycle my clothes makes me a better consumer.B. Its modern simplicity really appeals to me.C. Some fibres simply do not recycle and do not de- compose in landfill at the end of their usefulness.D. It switches the make-wear-and- dispose cycle of fashion into a circular one.E. One of my favourites is this burnt orange lightweight, unlined wool coat.F. I only wish I’d learned this lesson about shopping a lot sooner than I did!Full Circle FashionAutumn’s cooler temperature and beautiful colours never cease to excite me. I love reaching deep into mywardrobe and rediscovering the soft wool items that have served me well for many years. 67 Every October, I decide it’s time for it to make its yearly appearance. The loose style allows for lots of layering, so I’m able to wear it now and throughout the colder winter weather. It was a carefully considered purchase, and one I’ve not regretted for a moment. I always find the more time and thought I put into my wardrobe investments, the better they pay off.An item currently under consideration is this one that caught my eye last winter - a recycled cashmere poncho(羊绒斗篷). I’ve tried on this long poncho a few times and a year later, I still love it. 68 Also the cashmere itself is superb quality. The flexibility of a long poncho makes it even more irresistible. It would be ideal for a chilly office or aeroplane. It layers perfectly under loose long coat like my orange one. I love how it modernizes a odernizesr blouse. It feels like a wise investment for my wardrobe; supporting a business that facilitates sustainable fashion feels like a wise direction of my money.“Circular fashion”, where no longer used items are re- crafted into new clothes (like this poncho) is a new way of consuming that will be with us forever. 69 Every aspect of the process ensures tons of clothing do not end up in landfill each year. In general, circular fashion opts for wool, cotton, cashmere, and silk- all of which can be re- used or mixed with new natural fibres. These materials are more expensive, but if they are used in several circular cycles of clothing in the future, they pollute and waste less of our natural resources. 70 And innovative circular fashion brands will soon be giving us many more incredible options.IV. Summary Writing71.How to make resolutions stickHow are those New Year’s resolutions going? If you’re persisting, good for you. Many people do not. Given that the real challenge seems to be not making resolutions, but keeping them, I would like to understand more about that challenge.There is a revealing story at the end of How to Change in which Milkman and her colleague Angela Duckworth discuss the success of a large experiment. This experiment was run with a national gym chain and aimed to get people exercising more. Had it been a success? While the experimental persuasions were demonstrably effective at getting people to go to the gym during the four- week experimental period, they were far less effective at getting people to maintain their gym- going habit. If you hope for persistent results, one possible answer is persistent persuasion.There are other approaches. David Epstein, for example, had been struggling to quit his late- night snacking habit. When moving house, he simply decided that he would leave the old habit in the old house. This approach, he writes, was completely successful. Epstein also made a clear plan, something that is often missing from resolutions. Your resolutions to exercise more? Great! Where and how will you exercise, and when will you do it? It is better to sign up for a particular exercise class than for a generic gym membership, because you’ re forced to be specific about how you will achieve your goal.Another idea that has stuck in my mind is that our actions are influenced both by driving forces and by restraints -the accelerator(加速器) and the brake, if you like. When we want to move, we instinctively stamp harder on the accelerator, but we often get better results from releasing the brake. If you’re thinking of embracing a new resolution, ask yourself, “Why haven’t I been doing this already? What has been stopping me?” Answer those questions, and you might learn something that will help make your new resolution stick.V. Translation72.一到公司，他就被告知由于台风来袭电力中断。

AKnowing the best way to study will help you to be a best student.By using your time properly,you can do your homework more quickly. Learning to study is not difficult.The first thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn.It doesn’t mean that you must always like the subject.It does mean,however,that you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to learn. Try to understand why it is important and how it will help you now and later to do and learn other things.Knowing mathematics facts will be useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell makes any kind of writing easier.Sometimes,the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will be exciting when you begin to work at it and understand it more clearly. Learning things can be fun if you are willing to work with them.Here is some advice for you: have a certain time each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study,so that you can concentrate on your study without interruptions; have everything ready before you sit down to study, a dictionary,paper,a pen and books; be sure you understand what you should learn before you start; read carefully and pay special attention to the most important things; when memorizing,first find out the main parts and recite the whole thing, check your homework after you finish it; never forget the importance of review and preview.Don’t try to spend a lot of time researching learning methods.There are many students whoknow many good learning methods but don’t study well. They forget that the most important useful learning method is to study hard.1．The main purpose of the article is to ________.A.prove that learning is not difficultB.make parents interested in studyC.tell the importance of self-teachingD.tell the students how to study well.2．The first thing to remember in study is that you must________A.like the subjectB. follow the teacherC.enjoy learningD.study hard3．The following advice is given in the article EXCEPT__________A.to put a pen,paper and books beside you before study.B.to study at any possible time and place.C.to review and preview.D.to pay attention to the most important things.BMy husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentlemanhad ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.4．From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.A. waiterB. actorC. beggarD. worker5．The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.A. the man was not friendlyB. the man had stolen something from the restaurantC. he had fired the man beforeD. he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food6．From the passage, we can infer the man _____.A. was thankful for their kind actB. felt ashamed and slipped awayC. was hungry and ate a lot of foodD. was too proud to accept their offer7．The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. wasted my moneyB. made me very happyC. made me feel sorryD. moved me deeplyCEvery week in China, millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero, which is a Chinese-style spelling bee(拼写大赛). In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s popularity should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants childre n to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to t each it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.8．What can we learn about the Character Hero?A. It’s open to people of all ages and all walks.B. It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C. It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D. It draws great public attention across the country.9．Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology. 10．According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is_________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC. helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students11．Where does this text probably come from?A. A news report.B. A science report.C. An advertisement.D. Children’s literature.DFo r years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s naturalconditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants(污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building--green plants. Scientists do not re ally know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place. 12．Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because________.A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsC. the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmfulD. man-made building materials give off dangerous gases13．Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _______.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD. all kinds of offices14．The indoor air pollution is caused by ______.A. the building way that the builders want to save energyB. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flowC. the building things that are made of man-made materialsD. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside15．The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ______.A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB. plants may take in more oxygen which people needC. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsD. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Stuck on campus until long past the end of the semester, Cohen found themselves looking for something to keep them occupied, which led to them searching for courses online and on Pinterest after getting initial inspiration from Etsy. “This was the first time I learned how to like an actual craft and like multiple dimensions of it,” Cohen said. “This also lighted my passion for business. This idea originally started out only for my friends. And because I wanted them to get cool jewelry without having to break the bank.”Cohen began selling their jewelry to friends and on Instagram, and eventually at art markets: around town. These markets have also been Cohen’s entry into Rochester’s dynamic art community attracting University of Rochester students, students on other campuses, and young professionals in the city. This has allowed them to learn from each other and improve on their art by learning different skills and employing different tips and tricks in their pieces. Cohen has connected with Rochester Institute of Technology and Middlesex Community College students, learning that the former institution has a jewelry- making major and meeting students within the major. “They’ve praised my work, which is absolutely crazy,” Cohen said. “This has unintentionally been a great way to make friends.” These connections led to them getting the chance to host a beginner chainmail class themselves. “I know I’m capable of teaching other people and it’s really fun to share my love for this because as a STEM major, I get so wrapped up in it, and being able to find a way out is nice.”After graduation, Cohen plans to apply to different graduate schools and continue their small business on the side. “I want this to remain something I love,” Cohen said.4．What inspired Cohen to start the business?A．His previous experience.B．The thought of getting busy.C．His passion for jewelry making.D．The inspiration from online courses.5．What can we know about Cohen’s chainmail jewelry?A．It is reasonably priced.B．It was initially sold online.C．It is professionally designed.D．It was first intended for credits.6．What can people do in Rochester’s art community?A．Attend courses of jewelry making.B．Raise their skills in making jewelry.C．Gain admission to the jewelry major.D．Achieve a goal of gaining treasure. 7．Why did Cohen teach other people to make jewelry?A．To show the love for art.B．To share a way of relief.C．To realize his dream of helping others.D．To display his talent in making jewelry.Social media is welcoming a new self-care practice: bed rotting (床腐). Creators say the trend, which involves lazing in bed for hours to days at a time but not sleeping, can help with mental health. But while it can be energizing to take a rest day every once in a while, experts warn that staying bedridden for too long can be harmful to your physical and mental health. During bed rotting, the “rotter” replaces. productive activities with aimless activities like phone scrolling (滚屏), watching TV shows and so on. This trend is most popular among young people who may feel extremely worn- out from work and other demands.In today’s fast-paced world, enthusiasts say bed rotting is a way to let your body and mind recharge from commitments and responsibilities. And mental health experts agree — to an extent. “Taking a day off or even a weekend from the world and staying in bed can be rejuvenating for some,” says Dr. Andrea Papa- Molter, the chief medical officer at Advantage Behavioral Health in Laurel Springs, New Jersey. “For most people it is a form of self-care and a way of regaining energy after a tiring day of work and is safe for short periods of time.”“While a quick bed-rotting session may provide temporary. comfort for escape for some, staying in bed all day for multiple days may cause negative consequences. Humans need exercise, vitamin D from the sun, as well as socialization to survive. ” Papa-Molter says, “It becomes harmful when someone avoids contact with others, which can cause feelings of being separated, and what’s worse, depression and anxiety.”Dr. David Cutler, a family medicine physician at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, says, “People who are feeling so emotionally worn-out that they can’t engage intheir usual activities need to see a mental health professional.” Having tiredness after a long day or week is normal, but if it is influencing your work and social life, then it is a good idea to talk to a psychologist who can help you get to the root cause of your bed rotting and learn new coping skills.8．What can we know concerning bed rotting from Paragraph 1?A．Bed rotters sleep a lot.B．Bed rotting harms health.C．Bed rotters hate screen time.D．Bed rotting inspires creativity.9．What does the underlined word “rejuvenating” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Harmful.B．Green.C．Refreshing.D．Charming. 10．What can be concluded from Papa-Molter’s words in Paragraph 3?A．A little is enough but more proves better.B．Separation gains no wisdom from others.C．The good and the bad are interchangeable.D．One finds peace alone but trouble in groups.11．What is the suggestion given by David Cutler?A．Upgrading social skills.B．Turning to psychologists.C．Doing physical, examinations.D．Engaging, in emotional actions.Verbal communication is one of the many reasons why humans have become so successful as a species. While recent science shows that passive plants have their own “language” of interaction and their talk systems may be more complex and sensitive.Recently, scientists discovered just how well-connected plants are and how efficiently they can send messages to their peers via electrical signals and the fungal (真菌的) network. For example, electrophysiology is a relatively new scientific discipline that studies how electrical signals in and between plants are communicated and interpreted.To achieve this, scientists inserted (植入) small. electrical sensors to monitor and control crop: watering, and to test how changes in electrical signals relate to plant performance such as transporting water and nutrient. Researchers even found that electrical signals could make plants perform basic responses like opening or closing leaves.The recent study also revealed that a great deal of plant-to-plant communication happensbelow ground, aided by large fungal networks known as the “wood wide web”, which connect trees and plants underground, allowing them to share resources like water, nutrition and information. Through this system, older trees can help younger ones grow, and trees can warn each other about dangers. It’s like an underground Internet for trees and plants, helping them support and communicate with each other. And the network is extensive, with over 80% of plants believed to be connected, making it one of the oldest communication systems globally. Just as the Internet enables us to connect, share ideas, knowledge and information that can influence decision- making, the “wood wide web” allows plants to use fungi as a “language” to prepare for environmental changes.The research also noted that disturbing the soil through chemicals, deforestation or climate change can result in communication-disconnection among plants, leaving them more sensitive, and in turn, making it more difficult to protect and restore ecosystems around the world. So protecting the environment is the priority. After all, we human being depend upon plants for our well-being and survival.12．Why is an example mentioned in Paragraph 2?A．To uncover a secret.B．To prove a statement.C．To explain a discipline.D．To introduce a research.13．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．What the network means to plants.B．How the fungal network functions.C．How plants interact with each other.D．What the “wood wide web” includes. 14．What can be done to prevent the disconnection among plants?A．Enhancing deforestation.B．Changing global climate.C．Banning the use of chemicals.D．Pursuing the eco- friendly life.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Plant communication: a secret to be found.B．Fungal network: a plant “Internet”system.C．Fungal network: an invisible wire in forest.D．Plant talk: a hidden “language” inecosystem.When I first started researching how to travel on a tight budget, I found a lot of helpful tipson how to save money. I’m sure you’ve heard the same advice: plan in advance, find cheap flights, cook meals yourself instead of eating outside, etc. 16 However, when I was planning my trip, it quickly became clear that the largest expense was accommodations.17 Even hostels can be pricey. Accidentally, I found a platform and got to know the concept of work for accommodation for the first time. The idea is simple. You trade your skills and some of your time in exchange for free accommodations.After completing my university degree and deciding to go backpacking alone, I was eager to try new things in different cultures. I had studied for some years, but I realized I didn’t want to work in the field I was educated in. 18 .I happened to find a post about an Italian family looking for a part-time private English teacher, which I felt would help me to feel closer to my Italian background. 19 I exchanged a few hours per day and I was provided a private dorm, typical Italian food and a thorough understanding of the surroundings, walking peacefully with my host family.Furthermore, with my love for language, I was interested in trying to teach English abroad. The most important lesson I learned was about communication. 20 They helped me with my English too. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed by their openness, kindness, and generosity, so I felt a strong desire to express my appreciation for all. they were doing for me. A．In fact, it stretches my dollar.B．These tips sounds really useful.C．That helps me learn more about Italian.D．Accommodations can be really expensive.E．I considered this as an amazing opportunity.F．So I decided to get out there and try new things.G．It wasn’t just me helping the couple with their English.二、完形填空I’ve heard that it’s better to give than to receive, while my experience tells me that receiving is highly 21 .When I was nine, for some reason my mum moved us to the 22 of mygrandparents, who ministered to our needs with meals, love and 23 to and from various activities and lessons.

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals.In 2012, Toumi consolidated (巩固) her dream of fighting the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy (理念) into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities wh ere they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018.

Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?A social media echo chamber (回声壁) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leave out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences. As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions. Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention. The algorithms focus on what we “like”, and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone. While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do. The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources. Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber. Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye. Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is truly fact. Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information. By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.8. What is a result of the social media echo chamber?A．People contact like-minded online users effectively.B．People keep reading for more differing viewpoints.C．People rely on algorithms to evaluate their interests.D．People only get information confirming their beliefs.9. What does “beef up”underlined in paragraph 3 mean?A．Track. B．Improve.C．Provide. D．Identify.10. Which of the following can help us get out of the echo chamber?A．Criticizing fake news on social media.B．Exposing ourselves to opposing voices.C．Researching primary sources of information.D．Accepting our present beliefs and opinions.11. What is the purpose of the text?A．To call on people to use algorithms frequently.B．To ask people not to take in information blindly.C．To promote the use of various social media sites.D．To inform people of new technology developments.In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot (鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sound of the English language.Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to s ay that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to fol low almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lor,” Alex responded without hesitation. “What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had th e soundh of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skils, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationnships and environments.During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepper berg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”。
