In January 2013，Sam Bloom was on a family holiday with her husband，Cameron and their three young boys.After a morning 36 in the sea they discovered the hotel had a rooftop platform and all went up the 37 to enjoy their surroundings.Suddenly Cameron heard a tremendous crash.He 38 around and Sam was gone—as was the safety rail（栏杆） she had been 39 against.Sam fell into a deep depression after the fall from the roof left her paralyzed （瘫痪的） from the chest down.Doctors said she could never walk again.
Three months later，as they were heading ho me from Sam’s parents，Noah，her middle son， 40 a baby bird that had fallen to the ground.So they 41 it up and took it home.They called her Penguin because she looked like a penguin.She was just very 42 at two or three weeks old.She would have to be fed every two hours，but they decided rescuing this little bird would be a 43 thing to do together.
Penguin brought joy back to the family.Sam loved having Penguin around because she was like 44 .Penguin would rest on Sam’s lap or on her shoulder，Sam could finally 45 herself without feeling guilty—she would talk to Penguin；she would 46 to her behind Cameron and tell her how she was feeling.Some morning Penguin would just run down the hall and jump up into bed， 47 her way into the quilt and then roll over and sleep.Penguin had some 48 —she was not toilet-trained，and the house got quite messy.As she grew older，Penguin did sleep outside，but at six o’clock in the morning she’d be at the door，with a special 49 that meant，“Let me in！”
As her 50 grew，Penguin stayed away for longer periods.When she was one year old，she disappeared for six weeks.But on the little son’s 13th birthday，Penguin made a 51 visit.A year ago，she left again and hasn’t been seen 52 .The bird has found her freedom and Sam has a freedom of her own.Sam made a new 53 —she took up boating and even made the Australia Para-boating Team.She is out of the 54 and in the water and back in nature.
Over the two years，Cameron took about 14,000 pictures of Penguin，which have been collected in a book called Penguin Bloom.Penguin rescued the family as much as they rescued her.Sam got 55 it，thanks to her family，exercise and yes，the friendship of a bird.Angels come in all shapes and sizes!

第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）
A
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina.The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm.Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（发抖） a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play.The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground.“Paris’s eyes rolled back,” T aylor says.“She started shaking.I knew it was an emergency.”
It certainly was.Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure.Without immediate medical care, Paris would die.At first,no one moved.The girls were in shock.Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR？”
CPR is a life-saving technique.To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs.Without oxygen,the brain is
damaged quickly.
Amazingly, T aylor had just taken a CPR course the day before.Still, she hesitated.She didn’t think she knew it well enough.But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR.“It was scary.I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down.One gi rl called 911.Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device（器械） that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them：Paris’s heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now.“Most people don’t survive this.My team saved my life.”
Experts say Paris is right：For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team.T aylor will apply to college soon.She wants to be a nurse.“I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says.“I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”

As we all know，every sentence we speak reflects something about who we are as humans.Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects（方言） that are rooted in their history and culture，so whether you say “soda” or “pop” may intimate what country and what region you are from.What you call the night before Halloween may be tied to your religious beliefs.What kind of slang you use may come from the habits of the community you grew up in.
Language also throws light on connections between us and our natural environment.Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people who are speaking the language.The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants，in some cases over the centuries.
While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school，in fact language is always evolving.New words begin to emerge while others fall out of use and pronunciation changes over time.There is no doubt that the meaning of words is also changing a great deal.People also borrow words from languages other than their own to
expand their own lexicon（词汇）.Our ability to learn language develops when we are young.Sounds heard as babies set the stage for language learning later.Baby cooing is the result of babies’ analysis of the languages spoken to them.Babies are practicing the pronunciation and recognition of sounds that they need for communication.Children exposed to different languages early in life and growing up with various kinds of languages around them always develop better cognitive（认知的）functions，such as the ability to focus and ignore distractions.
Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them and each of the about 7,000 world languages is a piece of evidence of a community’s unique human experience.Yet，many languages all over the world are endangered.It is reported that as man y as half of the world’s languages could go silent by the end of this century.The reasons are that the speakers always receive social inequalities and disrespect from others.If the speakers themselves are treated unfairly and disrespected by others，what will happen to their surroundings，let alone their language？
63.What does the underlined word mean in the passage？
A.Reveal.
B.Translate.
C.Influence.
D.Misunderstand.
64.What does the author seem to agree with？
A.Babies tend to be sensitive to various sounds.
B.Babies have a strong language analytical ability.
C.Early exposure to various languages benefits children.
D.Babies’ cognitive ability is generally better than adults’.
65.Why will many languages in the world go silent in the aut hor’s opinion？
A.They have lost their original fascination.
B.Their pronunciations are usually hard to learn.
C.The official languages are strongly advocated.
D.The speakers’ social positions change for the worse.
66.What is the best title of this passage？
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7419142167.html,nguages Have Different Functions
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7419142167.html,nguage Is Changing Constantly
C.The Environment Shapes Us
D.Our Language Is Ourselves

Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil（邪恶的） minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly.The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence（AI）may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want.In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way：“If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere（干预）, we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things：a wish to preserve its own existence.For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead.So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task.If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists.Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work：we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy.There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines.But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI
researchers.Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans.Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility.Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen.On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced（中子诱导） nuclear chain reaction.
67.Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A.run out of human control
B.satisfy human’s real desires
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7419142167.html,mand armies of killer robots
D.work faster than a mathematician
68. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .
A.prevent themselves from being destroyed B achieve their original goals independently
C.do anything successfully with given orders
D.beat humans in international chess matches
69.According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A.help super intelligent machines work better
B.be secure against evil human beings
C.keep machines from being harmed
D.avoid robots’ a ffecting the world
70.What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines？
A.It will disappear with the development of AI.
B.It will get worse with human interference.
C.It will be solved but with difficulty.
D.It will stay for a decade.

Zebras Have Their Own Bug Repellent（驱虫剂）？
Er... bugs！They are so annoying！We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites.But what’s an animal to do？They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails，unless，of course，they are zebras，who apparently have their own automatic repellent—their striped skin!
Scientists had originally thought that the reason why the animal had developed the black and white lines was to help protect itself from predators（食肉动物） in the African Savannah（大草原），because the stripes make it difficult to single out one zebra that is traveling with a herd.While that may be true，the theory has never been tested or proven.Now the experts have another—that the stripes have evolved to repel the annoying horseflies that not only feed off their blood，but also，transmit dangerous germs into the bodies of these innocent animals.
The study was performed by a team of Swedish scientists.One of the clues that got them thinking along these lines was the fact that darker horses got bitten more often than light-colored or white ones.
The fact that zebras are born black and only develop stripes as they grow older made the
scientists theorize that the stripes may be something the animals have developed to make themselves less attractive to flies.
To test if this may be the case，they painted some boards at a horse-infested horse farm in Budapest with patterns of black and white stripes of varying widths and applied a layer of glue on them.What they noticed was that the places where the black and white stripes were at their narrowest（similar to what zebras have） attracted the fewest flies.They achieved similar results when they painted horses with black and white zebra-like stripes.
While the research are not sure why this may be the case，they believe it may be something to do with the way insects operate—horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light（偏振光）；since white does not reflect it，white horses are luckier than black ones.But zebras seem to be the luckiest of all.When the researchers measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins，they found that it matched light patterns that were the least attractive to horseflies.
While this theory does make logical sense，nobody is 100 percent sure that it is really true，given that it has never been tested on a real zebra.If it is true，it does raise the question of why a horse，a close relative of the zebra has failed to develop stripes.The researchers believe that this could be because there are more horseflies in Africa，where zebras reside，than anywhere else in the world.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life.He would miss the paycheck，but he
needed to retire.They could get by.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor.The carpenter said yes，but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work.He resorted to shoddy（卑劣的） workmanship and used inferior（低劣的） materials.
It was an unfortunate way to end his career.When the carpenter finished his work and the boss came to inspect the house，then he handed the fr ont door key to the carpenter.“This is your house，” he said，“my gift to you.”
What a shock！What a shame！If he had only known he was building his own house，he would have done it all so differently.Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.写作内容

参考范文
An old carpenter constructed a low-quality house before retirement.Beyond his expectation，the house was sent by the employer to him as a farewell gift.
Upon finishing the story，I am occupied by mixed feelings.I am definitely angry with the carpenter，who obviously lacked a sense of responsibility.Meanwhile，I feel quite regretful for him as well，as his good reputation collapsed due to his last stupid action.
As a matter of fact，stories of this kind frequently occur in modern society.For instance，some students cheat in exams；some businessmen sell pirated products for big profits；some public officials go corrupt regardless of their fame.All these disgraceful acts have disturbed the orders of society.We know society is based on criteria，laws and regulations，without which trouble or even catastrophes will come to us.It must be kept in mind that harm set，harm get.Whatever we do and whenever we conduct it，honesty as well as responsibility should be our ultimate pursuit.
答案详解
二、单项选择
21. A
【解析】考查形容词的辨析。A. alternative可供替代的；B. aggressive好斗的，有进取心；C. ambiguous有野心的，耗时的；D. apparent显而易见的。句意：恐龙的消失未必是由天体灾害引起的，但是也很难找到其它的解释。故选A。
22.C
解析当定语从句的先行词为occasion（某个时刻），stay（逗留的一段时间）等时，用when引导定语从句，when在从句中作状语。
23.D
解析考查非谓语动词。从句意可以看出，句子的逻辑主语是the tourists from T aiwan and I，与show之间构成被动关系，同时动作发生在谓语动词wish之前，所以第一空用Having been shown；而第二空是there be的变体结构形式。
24. D
解析句意为：小偷在承认那天晚上闯入了Mrs.Robinson的家之后，被判处坐牢三年。sentence sb.to...判处某人……；admit后跟动名词作宾语。
25. C
解析考查独立主格结构。句意为：手里拿了把枪，窃贼冲进银行，只有眼睛露在外面。第一空with a gun in his hand手里拿着一把枪，为介词with的复合结构，作独立主格结构，表伴随；第二空也考查独立主格结构，eyes与expose之间存在被动关系，用过去分词，
26.D
解析句意为：依据2021届和2021届颁布的规定，吸烟场所将会受到严格控制而不是禁止。在法律、条约、协定等文件中，shall表示义务、规定等。
27. D
解析句意为：约翰代表球队接受了冠军奖励。on behalf of代表，符合句意。in honour of为了纪念；in favour of支持；on account of因为，由于。
28.B
解析此处是一个非限制性定语从句，喜欢的是“书”，故用which作关系代词作介词of 的宾语。29.C
解析句意为：——我听说Linda赢得了写作比赛的一等奖。——怎么会呢？她之前对此根本不感兴趣。根据题干中的“She had showed no interest in it at all before.”可知，空处表示的应是吃惊的语气，故how come“怎么会”符合语境。what for为什么；why not为什么不呢；so what那又怎样。
30.B
解析句意为：我第一次遇见他的时候，他在一家大公司当秘书。the first time是一个名词性短语作连词，引导时间状语从句。
31.B
解析句意为：他有音乐天分，并且在30岁时被任命为上海乐团管弦乐队的指挥家。assign分配，分派；appoint任命；recommend推荐；honour授予荣誉。
32. D
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果政府和科学家不共同努力，艾滋病相关的死亡就不会从2021届的最高点下降。使用虚拟语气，if条件句用的had done, 而且省略it,将had提前，主句用would have done表示对过去情况的虚拟。故选D。
33.C
【解析】考查名词辨析。句意：准时付电费很重要，因为付晚了会影响你的信用。condition 条件；income收入；credit学分，信用（卡）。根据句意故选C。
34.B
【解析】考查动词短语辨析。短语fall off跌落，下降；take off起飞，成功，受欢迎；turn off 关闭；leave off停止，中断；句意：由于良好的创业环境，很多大学生创办的生意都很成功。根据句意可知B 正确。
35. B
解析句意为：——你知道吗？琼这个学期得到了头等奖学金。——真的吗？但是我觉得亨利才是幕后英雄，他总是帮助琼学习。a back-seat driver企图越权者；a back-room boy幕后英雄，无名功臣；
