The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men h ave, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil comp any. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there . . . or engineers or sci entists?”26.

In the last thirty years, b usiness contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in J apan as well as Japanese businessmen do business around t he world.Difference between Japanese and Western ways of doing bus iness, however, often bewilders the foreign businessmen and making doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners. An Am erican businessman, for example, wants to start talking busin ess immediately. He wants quick decisions. He does not wait.A Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decision gra dually after giving him a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understa nding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is becau se of cultural difference for a Japanese to say “No” directly. In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many w ays to avoid saying “No”. These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feeling. However, this often makes communica tion with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.31. From paragraph 1, we know that_______________.A. Japan is a very important country for businessmenB. Japanese businessmen do business all around the worldC. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanD. Business contacts between Japan and the West are import ant32. The underlined word in paragraph 2 probably means____ _______.A. tireB. puzzleC. interest D surprise33. From the passage, we can know that___________.A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japan ese onesB. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”C. Americans usually say what they are thinkingD. Americans do not express themselves clearly34. How many difficulties do the foreign businessmen in Japa n may have?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Two35. The main idea of the passage is that___________.A. foreign businessmen must be more politeB. Japanese businessmen are good at businessC. you must learn from Japan if you want to succeedD. foreign businessmen should first try to understand Japanes eCIs the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the wo man on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new "beaut y making" computer program, which uses a mathematical for mula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while k eeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not s moothed and hair color was not changed.The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and scie nce, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among peo ple of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. M ost important is symmetry (匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathemati cal attempts to define beauty, this software program raises co mplex and difficult questions about the understanding of beau ty."How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?" sai d Lois Banner, a history professor at Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. "There can never be a sin gle standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influ enced."After viewing "before" and "after" photographs of different peo ple, Banner said the original faces were more attractive. "Irreg ular beauty is the real beauty," said Banner, adding that attem pts to measure beauty are driven by the media’s efforts to defi ne beauty and who is beautiful.Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for t his article, said she was struck by how different she looked. "I think the “after” picture looks great, but it doesn’t really look lik e me at all." She added, "I would like to keep my original face. "For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of b eauty. "The first reaction we have to faces will be based on fa ce symmetry." said Alexander Nehamas, a professor who has written about beauty. "But in real life we don’t just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas, a nd all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful."36. How does the program work to beautify a face?A. It changes the distances between facial features.B. It smoothes the skin and softens the color of the hair.C. It digitally repairs some obvious facial faults.D. It replaces the original face with a similar one.37. Banner believes that .A. there is no such thing as beautyB. efforts to develop a beauty measure should be encouragedC. the media is to blame for the failure to agree on beauty sta ndardsD. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful tha n another38. When seeing the "after" picture, Martina Eckstut was .A. pleasantly surprised but thought she could look even betterB. eager to get her face changed although it didn’t look like he r at allC. amazed by the attractiveness but preferred not to have a di fferent faceD. confused by how different she looked and had no idea wha t to do39. According to the passage, which of the following statemen ts is TRUE?A. Beauty is mainly based on face symmetry.B. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.C. The program is likely to encourage people to change their appearance.D. Mathematics should be used to help us create beauty.40. The purpose of the passage is to .A. oppose the attempts to create artificial beautyB. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beautyC. discuss what makes a person beautifulD. show how a beauty engine can beautify a person四、语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完型填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读短文,从短文各题后所给的四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项Back in my country, when I was a child, I used to go to “marke t day” with my mother.

The booklet, entitled Time for Outrange(愤怒), was written by the 93-year-old French diplomat(外交官)Stephane Hessel. “The power of money,” Hessel says, filled with anger, “has never been as great and selfish and __27__ as it is now.”But what does the outrage of this Frenchman have to do with classical music and , ultimately, with me, music director of the Orchestre Symphenique de Montreal(蒙特利尔交响乐团)?A lot, I, too, am outraged by the direction of industrial society, with materialism and consumerism leading the way. I want to show that, because of its powerful impact, classical music can play a(n) __28__ role right now.We all sense that our society is experiencing an almost revolutionary __29__. Life is getting faster, competition is fiercer and social cohesion(凝聚力)is reducing. Like most people, I have no idea how liberty and civil rights would develop in the era of globalization and ever-evolving technological advancement.But I see this as an opportunity for a(n) __30__ to classical music. The great symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are not museum pieces we should listen to only if we want to __31__ ourselves with some music history. Now are they a decoration or a relaxation exercise for the quickened pace of life.They are more than what a radio station for classical music once promised - “your oasis(绿洲)of well-being.” They are timeless compositions tha t __32__ all the uncertainties and insecurities of this new period. They can support us in our search for meaning. Beethoven, for example, was convinced that man had the capacity to change for the better and to go throughout life. This is whythere is so much hope in his music. His symphonies was mean to __33__ people forward.Classic music __34__ our senses and emotions in such a way that we were thrown back onto ourselves. It __35__ to listeners to make use of their own reason and reflect on their actions. Music’s sole purpose is to be experienced. That experience, in turn, is why music can change our perceptions(认知)of ourselves and thereby our interactions with others.__36__ to explain this powerful impact of music will always re main unsatisfying, but this much is certain: aesthetic(审美的)experiences can transform people.Ⅱ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When women do become managers, do they bring a different style and different __37__ Are they better, or worse, managers than men? Are women more highly motivate committed than male managers?Some research __38__ the idea that women bring different attitudes and skills to management jobs. such as greater __39__, an emp hasis on attachment, and a willingness to involve __40__ factors in making workplace decisions. These differences are seen to carry advantages for companies, because they expand the range of techniques that can be used to help the company __41__ its workforce effectively.A study undertaken by the International Women’s Forum discovered a manag ement style used by some women managers that differs from the command-and-control style __42__ used by male managers. Using this “interactive leadership” approach, women encourage__43__, share power and information, enhance other people’s self-worth, and get others excited about their work. All these things reflect their belief that __44__ employees to cont ribute and to feel __45__ and important is a win-win situation -- good for the employees and the organization. the study’s director predicted that “interactive leadership might emerge __46__ the management style of choice for many organizations.”37.

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.AThe easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I th ought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better so I doubled everything. As Dong loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was as sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work.I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast(酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. i had to admit what the “living thing”was and why it was there. I don’t know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing Doug or me.47. Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?A. Because the canned orange had gone bad.B. Because it took time and she wasn’t patient enough.C. Because the cookbook was hard to understand.D. Because she did not follow the directions closely.48. Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?A. Because she wanted to make another one.B. Because she meant to joke with her husband.C. Because she didn’t want her husband to see it.D. Because she hoped it would soon dry in the son.49. What made the dough in the bin look frightening?A. The rising and falling movement.B. The ugly yellowish marks.C. Its strange shape.D. It’s big size.50. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because _______.A. surprised at his being interested in the binB. afraid that he would discover her secretC. unhappy that he didn’t enjoy the mealD. curious to know what was disturbing himBThere are few more sobering(令人警醒的;使人冷静的)online actiyities than entering data college-tuition calculators and gasping(喘气,倒抽气)as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can comfort themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield hug e dividends(红利).A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the “labor-market premium to skill” -- to the amount college graduates earned -- decreased for much of the 20th century, but he come backwith a vengeance (报复性地)since the 1980s. In 2005, the typical full-time year-round U. S. worker with a four-year college degree earned $50,900, 62% more than $31,500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma.There’s no question that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn’t come down merely to dollars and cents. Doe s going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board $49,260 in 2007-2008) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($35,542)? Probably not. does being an out-of-state student at the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state student (17,380) there? Not likely.No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren’t evaluating college as an investment, but rather as a consumer product -- like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is onl y one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in today’s college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This acco unts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences (such as attending a private liberal - arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine - biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it? Is college an investment product like a stock or a consumer product like a car? In keeping with automotive world’s hottest consumer trend, maybe it’s best to characterize it as a hybrid(混合动力汽车); an expensive sunburned pro duct that, over time, will pay rich dividends.51. What’s the opinion of economists about going to college?A. Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializing.B. It doesn’t pay to run into debt to receive a college education.C. College education is rewarding in spite of the shocking costs.D. Going to college doesn’t necessarily bring the expected returns.52. The two Harvard economists note in their study that, for much of the 20th century. _______.A. enrollment kept decreasing in virtually all American colleges and universitiesB. the labor market preferred high-school to college graduatesC. competition for university admissions was far more fierce than todayD. the gap between the earnings of college and high-school graduates narrowed53. Students who attend an in-state college or university can _______.A. save more on tuitionB. receive a better educationC. take more liberal-arts coursesD. avoid traveling long distances54. What is the chief consideration when students choose a college today?A. Their employment prospects after graduation.B. A satisfying experience within their budgets .C. Its facilities and learning environment.D. Its ranking among similar institutions.CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there two more sentences than you need.A. Many career passions don’t pay the bills, and many of us just do n’t have the talent.B. Extensive evidence shows that instead of painting a rosy picture of a job, you’re better off having a realistic preview of what it’s really like.C. People who graduate from college during a recession(经济衰退)are more satisfied with their work three decades later.D. I have become convinced that asking youngsters what they want to be does them harm.AB. when we define ourselves by our jobs, our worth depends on what we achieve.AC. Your job is not always going to fulfill you.“What do you want to be when you grow up?”When I was a kid, I felt anxious about the question, because I never had a good answer. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn’t dreaming of becoming something grand or heroic, like a filmmaker or an astronaut.In college, I finally realized that I didn’t want to be one thing. I wanted to do many things. So I found a workaround: I became an organizational psychologist. My job is to fix other people’s jobs.I get to experience them indirectly -- I’ve gotten to explore how filmmakers blaze new trails(开创先河)and how astronauts build trust. __55__My first complaint with the question is that it forces kids to define themselves in terms work. When you’re asked what you want to be when you grow up, it’s not socially acceptable say, “A father,” or, “A mother,” let alone, “A person of integrity (诚实正直).” This might be of the reasons many parents say their most important value for their children is to car a others, yet their kids believe that top value is success. __56__The second problem is the implication that there is one calling(使命感)out the everyone. Although having a calling can be a source of joy, research shows that search one leaves students felling lost and confused. And even if you’re lucky enough to stum a calling, it might not be a viable (切实可行的)career. My colleagues and I have form callings often go unanswered: __57__ If you manage to overcome those obstacles, there is a third hurdle: Careers rarely your childhood dreams. In one study, looking for the ideal job left college seniors feeling more anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and depressed throughout the process satisfied with the outcome. __58__ Sure, you might be a little less excited to ta average ou end up more productive and less likely to quit.I’m all for encouraging youngsters to aim high and dream big. But take it who studies work for a living: those aspirations should be bigger than work . As they want to be leads them to claim a career identity they might never want invite them to think about w hat kind of person they want to be -- and about things they might want to do.第Ⅱ卷Ⅱ.

Culture.C. Technology.D. Sports.BIn her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, PamGolden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for exampl e. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Be cause my father was a drunk.” However, the successful busin essman’s answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.”when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The s ame upbringing. However, the results were quite different. Wh y? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they fou nd themselves in at last, so they had different experiences. There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due t o “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how thin gs were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn’t understand w hy bad luck was always with me.Pam Golden says, “You’re either living in the problem or you’r e living in the solution.” Now, when I’m faced with what I used to think was a negative situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I com bine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations a nd the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank t he difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable expe rience, from which I can benefit.Now, it doesn’t“rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain h elps plants grow up.5. The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.A. upbringing makes a big differenceB. education d ecides a person’s futureC. making good choices is the most importantD. it is luck tha t leads to success6. What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refe r to?A. Water.B. Good luck.C. Success.D. Difficulty.7. What is talked about in the third paragraph?A. How the author collects useful experience.B. How the author lives in the problem.C. How the author gets help from others.D. How the author deals with difficulty now.8. Now, the author’s attitude towards “RAIN” is ________.A. negativeB. unclearC. positiveD. unknownCHere is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligen ce) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off devel oping the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thi rty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technol ogy and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. Ho wever, no one really knows what will happen if machines bec ome more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influe nce on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly u p to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intell igence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching comput ers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future , their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, ther e is the danger that robots will take over millions of human job s, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This co uld mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines mi ght decide the world would be better without humans. Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Rob ots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stampin g on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: m ilitary machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The nex t step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but fi nally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me th at this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need t o be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.9. What is Scientist B worried about?A. AI technology will destroy the earth.B. Humans will be unhappy without machines.C. Computers can’t think by themselves.D. Robots will take the place of humans.10. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C. I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.D. “Murderbots”can’t decide by themselves.11. Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.B. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the fut ure.C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.12. Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A. Scientist A.B. Scientists B & A.C. Scientist B.D. Scientists B & C.DBissel is a small village of the West Sahara. It lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis(绿洲), from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of t he desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this ba rren land. Many had previously tried but failed, always someh ow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of t rying to walk out.When interviewed by Ken Levin, an expert at the British Ro yal College of Sciences, the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to th e village.Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert? Lev in was very puzzled. He had, by himself, managed to walk nor th from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days. He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery. He and a Bissel villager called Argutel, would walk o ut of the desert together. They prepared enough water for a h alf-a-month journey and two camels. But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass. Levin would follow Argutel.Ten days later, they had walked for about 500 miles but we re still in the desert. On the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. They were back at Bissel. Levin now understood w hy the Bissel people couldn’t escape the desert. They had noknowledge of the North Star, which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction. In the des ert, if a person goes forward relying only on their senses, they will not be able to travel in a straight line. Rather they will trav el in a very large circle and eventually track back to where the y began. Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk to wards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk ou t of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told. Three days later, h e came to the edge of the desert.Now in the West Sahara, Bissel has become a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come every year. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On its base a re the words: ___________.13. Villagers in Bissel had never walked beyond the desert be cause ________.A. they had no method to find their way outB. they had a fear of the outside worldC. they had no desire to leave the oasisD. they were discouraged by their failures14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desertB. tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improve dC. Argutel became the leader of Bissel after his returnD. Ken Levin didn’t walk south because it would take more d ays15.

"We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we could donate it. And they were on board." he said.So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23,000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.Nationwide, $165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. 4t If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%, we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a hugebenefit. That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing. " he said.Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries of the students' efforts. Ben SI ye, the senior pastor (牧师),said, 44It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”The University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country. 4t I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years. And once vve get to the Food Recovery Nation being at every college campus in America, wc want to expand to restaurants and fhrms."

Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the Loilet, after cleaning a baby and before .touching food.Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌).They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soapalso helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than an.y medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.26.The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to.A.call on people to wash handsB.help the developing countriesC.make a culture of hand washing in the third worldD.promote the importance of soap in hand washing27.The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT thatA.soap gets people into the habit of washing handsB.soap helps to get rid of more germs off handsC.soap attracts people to do more hand washingD.soap gives people a longer hand washing time28.According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that.A.kills half of the kids in developing countriesB.can be prevented by washing hands with soapC.causes the greatest number of child deathsD.makes soap stand out in hand washing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分一)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Instead, choose natural materials like cotton or wool. It’s also a good idea to favour long pants ( like jeans) and a long-sleeved shirt for extra protection from flames and sharp object s.Your seatA Popular Mechanics study of 20 commercial jet crashes with both fatalities and survivors found that passengers seated in t he rear cabin had a 69 percent chance of survival, compared with just 49 percent for those in first class.Besides, exit rows are the safest place to sit on the whole pla ne. In the event of an evacuation, the closer you are to an exit , the higher the chance you’ll escape uninjured.During a crashThe safest way to sit during a crash is to brace(支撑) yourself. In a 2015 crash simulation, Boeing found that passengers who both wore their seat belts and assumed a brace position (fe et flat, head cradled against their knees or the seat in front of t hem if possible) were likeliest to survive a crash.And the first thing you should do during a crash is put on the o xygen mask the minute it drops. During a loss of cabin pressu re, the fall in oxygen can knock you unconscious in as little as20 seconds.21.What clothes is probably recommended when taking a plane?A. a nylon shirtB. a cotton shirtC. polyester pantsD. plastic pants22. Where is the safest place during a jet crash?A. seats in first classB. seats in ec onomy classC. seats in the rear cabinD. seats near the exit23. Which behavior is proper during a crash?A. To take on a brace position.B. To sit up right.C. To loose the seat belt.D. To put on the oxygen mask for neighbors.BThe flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melind a sits in the rose garden of the nursing home. She is recalling old times as she waits for her family’s arrival. The nursing ho me has been Melinda’s new settlement ever since Thomas pa ssed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard b attle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he ha s broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be wit h each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unreali stic (不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his b eautiful wife. That’s what she loved about him most — he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and be gan having children right away. Mary came within the year, fol lowed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey” George. The family lived an exu ltant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melind a had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared wit h her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room .When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mout h and was completely speechless. The room was crowded wit h the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and l ove was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she look ed around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here.”24. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B. He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D. He stopped loving Melinda.25. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined i n Paragraph 2?A. peaceful.B. simple.C. stressful.D. happy.26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda’s children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaCPhone batteries rarely last a full day anymore, so carrying co mpact chargers(小巧的充电器)is becoming normal. But many of these so-called portable devices are heavy, thick andinconvenient — until Solar Paper is developed.Chicago engineers have designed a super-thin, lightweight panel called Solar Paper capable of charging an iPhone in two hours and multiple panels can be combined to boost its power. It was created by Chicago-based Yolk. After raising(筹钱) more than $1 million online for the production, it is now av ailable to purchase throughout the country. It comes in four ve rsions — 2.5W, 5W, 7.5W and 10W — depending on the outp ut needed for various devices. And these different models are created by combining individual 2.5W panels together.A 2.5W panel will charge an iPhone in five hours. The 5W ver sion charges the same devices but cuts charging time to two hours or three hours if it's cloudy. The 7.5W model Solar Pap er charges the devices at the same time as the 5W version bu t produces more energy when it is cloudy. The 10W version is ideal for the iPad Air 2, and will charge a device in 2.5 hours. Each individual panel measures 3.5 inches × 6.7 inches × 0.6 inches, weighs 60g and is 1.5mm thick.Other features include a unique automatic reset(重置) function which stops and starts the Paper charging when c asting with a shadow or placed in sunlight. Other solar charge rs require you to re-plug(重播) the wire at these conditions. It also has a low-energy LCD screen that displays the amount of power the Sol ar Paper produces in real time.28. What does the underlined word "boost" in the second para graph mean?A. increase.B. balance.C. possess.D. reduce.29. What can we know about the Solar Paper?A. The LCD screen shows how much power an iPhone uses.B. Customers are able to buy Solar Paper all over the world.C. The 7.5W version is the best choice if users charge an iPa d.D. Yolk started an online activity to fund production of Solar P aper.30. How is Solar Paper different from other solar chargers?A. It can be carried wherever you go.B. It can get reconnected automatically after a shadow.C. It can produce more electricity.D. It can produce power even if it’s rainy.31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce the strengths of solar chargers.B. To praise Chicago engineers for their efforts.C. To advise producers to keep phone batteries last long.D. To introduce a new type of solar charger.DIf you look up in the corner of your phone, you’ re probably us ed to seeing a little indicator that says 4G, 3G or 2G. But all th is is in the soon to be past, because up on the horizon is 5G. I n fact, as 5G rolls out over the next two years, it’s going to ch ange everything with a wireless connection. So, what’s so special about a 5G future?First of all, it’s fast, 100 - 250 times faster than 4G. But what s ets 5G apart is its latency(延迟)rate, which is the amount of delay between the sending an d receiving of information. Now, 4G tends to average about 1 00-200 milliseconds. To be fair, 100 milliseconds is FAST; huma n reaction time is about 200 -300 milliseconds. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond. Or l ess.That might be one of the biggest breakthroughs in 5G: a netw ork of self-driving cars – all sending data between each other, and comm unicating with traffic lights, road sensors(传感器) and soon. Think about it, human reaction speed is 200 mill iseconds, and we still have accidents every day. Imagine if yo ur car could react, and communicate its reaction to hundreds of cars around it, all within a millisecond. To some extent, we could end car accidents.Of course, there are some dissenting voices, claiming that the exposure to 5G radiation is harmful. An event is a typical war ning, they believe, that a 5G cellular network(蜂窝网络)in a park in Netherlands has caused the mass death of birds.But this is a rumor. Dr. Eric, a member of the International Co mmission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, told that the levels of exposure i n the 5G frequency range are comparable to existing technolo gy and thus very low, much lower than the exposure limits whi ch can really pose a threat to the surroundings.So, the wheel of technology turns irresistibly. What we need t o do is wait and enjoy.32. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. 5G will completely replace 4G.B. 5G is on the way.C. 5G is popular.D. 5G will back out.33. What’s the most distinctive feature of 5G?A. It is much faster than 4G.B. Its latency rate is crazily high.C. Its delay time can be less than 1 millisecond.D. It can be used in self-driving cars.34. The functions of 5G in self-driving cars don’t include________.A. ending car accidents completelyB. sending d ata between each otherC. communicating with traffic lightsD. reacting t o the road sensor35.The author’s attitude towards the future of 5G may best be de scribed as _________.A. positiveB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. concerned第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

因此,在整个句子中,两个引导词缺一不可。
故选D。
