The girls were standing in the back of the room, listening politely as the guide spoke. The boys crowded together in the front. They raised theirhands to respond to questions, even if they didn't know the answer.Alice, 10, often doesn’t raise her hand in class, even if she’s pretty sure she knows the answer She’s nervous she’ll get it wrong and fed embarrassed. On that field trip, she figured a lot of other girls were probably keeping quiet, too.Alice told her mom what she saw. They talked about how girls are often told to be quiet and polite, while boys are encouraged to be bold and assertive. Alice and her mom talk about that kind of thing a lot. She wants boys and girls to have the same opportunities. “Girls are important, and their ideas are important，” Alice says. “They should be heard.”Alice’s mom is the leader of Alice’s Girl Scout troop ， in Washington, . She and Alice brought the issue up at their next Girl Scout meeting. Alice found she was right. The other girls said they, too, sometimes hesitated to raise their hands, and they worried that this could hold them back in life. Alice wanted to c hange that. If a girl raises her hand, it’s one step toward becoming a great leader，” she says.Alice’s troop decided to ask the Girl Scouts organization to create a new patch. The newpatch was introduced in October 2017. It is called the Raise Your Hand patch. To earn it, a girl has to do three things. She must pledge to raise her hand in class when she thinks she knows the answer--even if she's not 100% sure. She must recruit three girls to make the same pledge. And she must talk about how raising her hand makes her feelSo far, more than 5,400 girls have earned the Raise Your Hand patch. They live in every state in the ., plus Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland. “Girls are powerful,” Alice says.“They should raise their hands so they can release the power inside them.”21.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage答案：BA. Show of Handsfor EqualityGirl Scouts OrganizationStory of a New PatchPassage TwoStephen Having was born on 8 January. 1942 and grew up in St Albans ，the eldest of four brothers and sisters. His father was a research biologist and his mother a medical research secretary, so it was not surprising that he was interested in science. As a student he was drawn to physics and maths as he believed they offered the most fundamental insights into the world. But nothing marked him out as special from his classmates or in his first terra at Oxford University.Stephen got first in Physics from Oxford, and started a PhD at Cambridge. His own private universe expanded when he proposed to his future wife. Jane was also from St Albans , and was amodem languages undergraduate. She had met Hawking at a New Year’s party, before his diagnosis. The couple decided to marry quickly, because they did not know how long Stephen bad to live. As Stephen’s health deteriorated, he took to w alking with stick.Hacking escaped the limits of his disability by training his mind to work in a new way. As he started to lose the use of his limbs, he developed a way of visualizing problems in his mind to reach a solution instead of by writing equations .Some of his colleagues have suggested that this way of thinking has led to his greatest discoveries. Hawking was now working on one of science’s most bizarre ideas-black holes, an extreme prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.Hawking’s work on black boles helped prove the idea of a “Big Bang” at the birth of the Universe. Developed in the 1940s,Big Bang theory was still not accepted by all scientists. Working with mathematician Roger Penrose. Hawking realized that black holes were like the Big Bang in reverse—and that meant the maths he'd used to describe black boles also described the Dig Bang. It was a key moment in showing the Big Bang really happened. As his body deteriorated, Hawking’s career was taking off.26. Hawking developed an early interest in science because______ .答案：Dbrothers and sisters loved ittook related lessons as a kidexcelled in maths and physicsparents influenced himcan be learned about Hawking's wife Jane答案：Aand Hawking came from the same place.and Hawking went to the same school.married Hawking on New Year’s Day.didn’t know of his disease before their marriage. 28.

As a leading figure in science, Hawking_____.for fifty-five yearsmany best-selling novelssome organizations for the disabledagainst his disease most of his lifePassage ThreeImagine that you’re a fly. You’re just looking for a place to rest, when you see a nice pink leaf. That looks like a nice place to land. As you rest your feet on the leaf, you notice something strange .This leaf is hairy. You begin to make your move, but you trigger the plant’s reaction. Snap! In one-tenth of a second, you are caught in the Venus fly trap. You will be digested in five to twelve days.Out of about 391,000 plant species in the world, only 600 or so are carnivorous. We call them this because they attract, trap, and eat bugs. Like other plants, they get energy from the sun. But unlike other plants, they get their nutrients from their prey ( 猎物）.Carnivorous plants live in places where the soil lacks nutrients. Most plants get nutrients from the soil. Carnivorous plants have turned to other sources.Pitcher plants trick their prey into landing on them. They offer nectar (花蜜） bribes to the foolish insects that would take them. True to their name, pitcher plants have deep chambers. Their landing surface is slippery. They have inward pointing hairs, making it hard to escape. The fly lands on the pitcher plant to eat but slips into a pit filled with digestive fluids.Corkscrew plants have inviting stems. Curved hairs line theinside of these stems. These hairs allow insects to go up the stems, but not back. Going forward leads to the plant's stomach. Bugs who wander into the corkscrew plant find that they are unable to escape. They must march to their own death.And then there are the bladderworts. They live in water and float near the surface. Their traps are like small bladders(囊状物 )hidden beneath the water. Only their flowers are visible from the surface. When bugs swim into the trigger hairs, the plant reacts. The bladder sucks up the prey and the water surrounding it. The prey will be digested within hours.31. The word “carnivorous”（ Para. 2) is closest in meaning to “_____”.32. Which statement would the author most likely agree with答案：Care too many species of carnivorous plants.CThere are too few plant species in the world.a small number of plant species are carnivorous.majority of plants are carnivorous.33. Carnivorous plants get their nutrients mainly from.答案：DB. plantssoilsun34. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the third paragraph 答案：Bare many studies of carnivorous plants.pitcher plant tricks bugs into its stomach.pitcher plant kills its prey in various ways.plants attract bugs by offering them nectar.can be inferred，the corkscrew’s chamber for digestion islocated .答案：Btowards its roottowards its topits flowersits leavesPassage FourSerenity (宁静）is difficult to find in today’s f ast-paced world. A moment of complete calm seems to be a rare and wonderful find. For me, those precious moments occur on a boat. As legendary sailor Vito Dumas once said: “It’s out there at sea that you are really yourself.” On deck, enjoying awe-inspiring views, the cares of everyday life blown away on the sea breeze, you can appreciate his point.Flying is a misery. From airport chaos to the confined space of an aircraft, nothing about commercial aviation appeals to my sense of adventure—or comfort. Favouring boat travel isn't just about managing flight fear, though. Whether I’m on a short ferry crossing or a cruise, the sea provides a true sense of travel, from the impressive physical shift of a ship leaving port to its navigation of the open water. “We are tied to the ocean,” John F. Kennedy said. As my ship steers towards an exciting new destination, I feel that affinity.And I’m not alone. “The journey is part of the holiday,” says travel writer Helen Ochyra. I’ll stand out on deck, whatever the weather, and watch the ropes being untied, the boat slipping away from the dock and the landscape drifting farther and farther away.”Tom Bourlet ，founder of the Spaghetti Traveller blog, agrees: “On a plane ，it’s difficult tomake out much more than grassland; on the ferry, there is something exciting about seeing land slowly getting closer.”For Cathy Winston, travel editor, is about the sense of adventure. “Even on a fairly simple journey from A to B, she says, “wide wide, open sea makes it feel like you could be off to discover new lands. There’s a certain romance you don’t get on a plane or on a motorway.” Winston also values the family-friendly aspects of sea travel. “There's something so relaxing about being on the water, especially with kids,” she says.Wh ether it’s for kid-happy convenience or sheer romance, boats will always be thepreferred mode of transport for many travellers. A boat gets me where I want to go, avoiding the rush—and terror— of air travel. And out on the waves, as reality melts away, I always rediscover my own passion for the sea.36. Which aspect of sea travel is emphasized in the first paragraph答案：Cview.freedom.of mind.of adventure.word “affinity”（Para. 2)is closest in meaning to “答案：Bemotionconnectionexcitementmoment38. Who is deeply impressed while watching the boat leaving the dock答案：AA. Helen Ochyra.B. Vito Dumas.C. Cathy Winston.D. John F. Kennedy.According to Tom Bourlet, sea travel is better than air travel in that it答案：Dpeople to engage in deeper thoughtpassengers a better chance to relaxa more comfortable environmenta clearer view of the landscape40. According to the last two paragraphs, sea travel has all the following benefitsEXCEPT.答案：Cfamily-friendlyan adventurous hearta healthy lifestylerelaxationSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answer A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.At SXSW, the tech and culture conference in Austin, London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticized big tech companies and regulators for failing to stem the spread of hate, misinformation and radical viewpoints online.The mayor said that governments have been in “dereliction of duty” when it comes to passing regulations to combat the ways technology has negatively affected society. “One of the biggest problems over the last few years is that politicians and governments have just been passive—sitting on their hands—while the tech revolution has happened around them,” Khan said in his remarks.Ultimately, he said, it’s up to governments to work with technology businesses and leaders to make sure that technological advancement has the proper media firms are already under new regulatory pressure in Europe, thanks to Germalaws enacted in January that will fine companies that don't take down problematic content within 24 hours of it being reported.Khan did not call for this type of regulation but warned that even stricter regulation could be on its way if companies don't respond to government concerns. “Ultimately —there must be greater responsibility taken by some tech companies for the impact they’re having on the world.”Comment 1:Looking at this from the point of view of “industry regulation” is simply flawed. At the core of this, it is individuals who are making choices to “post” each andevery time. What our society seems to have lost is a sense of personal responsibility.Comment 2:It’s not exactly easy to implement laws that targets content online. The bigger issue is that law enforcement simply doesn’t have the resources to act on all these crimes happening on theInternet.Comment 3：1 agree that technology has failed us in at least one very important way: Twitter, Facebook, et al, published and continues to publish untruths and fake “news”, that some people assume are accurate. They must do something.Comment 4:The companies at issue promote the content being objected to. That is the content that drives their revenues and profits. So self-regulation just never works without the threat of harsh regulation.Comment 5:Information and Communications Technology (ICT), through its evolution, has generally beenperceived as beneficial, furthering progress and the common good. But, ICT has not had theforesight to see how the evolving industry can produce unintended consequences. It’s time for ICT to step up word “dereliction”（Para. 2) probably means “__________”.答案：Aneglectabusemisjudgmentmisunderstanding42. What does Khan emphasize with his remarks in the last paragraph答案：DBritish regulation.regulatory laws.cooperation.of the industry.43. According to Comment 1, who is to blame for the spread of misinformation答案：B..officials.leaders.44.Which of the comments favors strict government regulation答案：C2.3.4..45.

This essay explores the impacts of global warming on the environment and offers possible solutions to tackle this complex problem.Impacts of Global Warming:1. Rising temperatures: Global warming has resulted in a significant increase in average temperatures worldwide. This has led to the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps, threatening the habitat of many species and leading to rising sea levels.2. Extreme weather events: The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, have been observed to increase due to global warming. These events have devastating consequences for both human beings and ecosystems.3. Disruption of ecosystems: Global warming has disrupted ecosystems by altering temperature and rainfall patterns, causing shifts in habitats and loss of biodiversity. This can lead to the extinction of vulnerable species and affect the overall balance of ecosystems.Possible Solutions:1. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: Implementing stricter regulations and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is crucial. This can be achieved through promoting renewable energy sources, encouraging energy efficiency, and adopting cleaner transportation methods.2. Afforestation and reforestation: Planting trees and restoring forests is an effective way to mitigate global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, acting as natural carbon sinks. Additionally, forests help regulate local temperatures and support diverse ecosystems.3. Public awareness and education: Educating the public about the impacts of global warming and the importance of sustainable living is essential. This can be done through educational programs, campaigns, and media platforms to raise awareness and promote responsible environmental practices.4. International cooperation: Addressing global warming requires international collaboration. Countries must come together to shareknowledge, resources, and technologies in order to develop innovative solutions and implement effective measures on a global scale.Conclusion:In conclusion, global warming poses significant threats to the environment, including rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and ecosystem disruption. However, by implementing solutions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, afforestation, raising public awareness, and fostering international cooperation, we can mitigate the impacts of global warming and move towards a more sustainable future for our planet.总结 (Conclusion):在这篇文章中，我们讨论了全球变暖对环境的影响，并提出了可能的解决方案。

But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transport ation costs. So the school‘s busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia‘s bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school viaa ―walking school bus‖—a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn‘t affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren‘t always the shortest ones.There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it‘s an environmental win—but if too many of their parents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.31. The ―walking school bus‖ _____.A．does not consume fuelB．aims to keep children fitC．seldom causes traffic jamsD．is popular with school kids32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with ____. A．individual schoolsB．school districtsC．teacherD．parents33. As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _____. A．time spent on the wayB．changes in the routeC．kid‘s physical strengthD．safety of their children34. To save money, some schools choose to _____.A．take the shortest routesB．shorten the school weekC．give drives better trainingD．use fuel efficient buses35. Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to _____.A．fierce competition among bus companiesB．more students taking public transportationC．an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD．a decrease in the safety of school buses36. Which of the following best describes the author‘s attitude towards busing cutbacks? A．FavorableB．CriticalC．ObjectiveD．IndifferentPassage TwoPeople are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity （长寿）of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then – the gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages（流产）. In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Me n‘s lifespan remains almost unchanged.B．Researchers have found the cause of the age gapC．The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.D．The age gap was noticed only recently.38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women‘s longer lifespan are ____.A．diseases and road accidentsB．industrialization and work strainsC．their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholD．their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39. According to Paragraph3, which of the following statements is true?A．The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.B．The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.C．Female workers are more likely to smoke than make workers.D．Smoking does not seem to affect women‘s longevity.40. Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A．Men‘s health is more closely related to their emotions.B．Though more liable to illnesses, women still live longer.C．Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill.D．Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.41. The word ―edge‖ in Paragraph 6 means ―_____‖.A．marginB．sideC．advantageD．quality42. What is the main idea of the passage?A．The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.B．That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.C．People are living longer as a result of industrialization.D．Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life.Passage ThreeMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature. Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, willenable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.43. By ―human intervention‖ (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _____.A．the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB．the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC．acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD．the adoption of smart sensing and network technology44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ____. A．have to be replaced from time to timeB．contain metals that pollute the environmentC．require automatic rechargingD．are difficult and costly to maintain45. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that _____. A．there is energy in the environment to be utilizedB．the cost of using them has been drastically reducedC．modern data communication consumes little energyD．their maintenance has been greatly simplified46. According to the passage, Green Peak _____.A．is the first company to install wireless sensor networksB．promotes the application of wireless sensor networksC．supplies batteries operating on harvested energyD．benefits handsomely from communication technology47. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the _____.A．replacement of batteries in harvestersB．monitoring of energy harvested from the environmentC．elimination of batteries in sensor networksD．impact of sensor networks on power supply48. Wireless sensor networks promise to ____.A．bring businesses high profitsB．further develop the sensing technologyC．turn motion into a major source of energyD．improve the daily lives of people worldwidePassage FourIf you haven‘t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you‘ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver‘s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.49. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that _____.A．people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsB．Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monthsC．one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD．the media coined the term ―Road Rage‖ only a few months ago50. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year_____.A．drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highwayB．more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingC．two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD．41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving? A．Increasing number of carsB．Drivers‘ stress and anxietyC．Overcrowded roadsD．Rush hour traffic52. The word ―spell‖ in Paragraph 3 means‖_____‖.A．speakB．causeC．describeD．spare53. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?A．Talking while drivingB．Driving fastC．Yelling at another driverD．Sounding the horn when passing54. The last paragraph is intended to _____.A．tell people how to cope with Road RageB．inform people how aggressive drivers could beC．tell people how to control themselves when angryD．warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FiveIn the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the ―Clever Hans‖ effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any ―detections‖ made by the teams thus had to be false.The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals—who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying ―wolf‖ at the unconscious signal of their handlers.How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously ―profiled‖ people being sniffed by a drug, or explosive-detecting dogat an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A．He was as clever as people claimed.B．He was really good at counting.C．He could understand human language.D．He merely responded to human signals.56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ____.A．questioned the ―Clever Hans‖ effectB．discovered the ―Clever Hans‖ effectC．confirmed the ―Clever Hans‖ effectD．rejected the ―Clever Hans‖ effect57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that ____.A．each search area contained three target scentsB．there was actually no target scent in the search areaC．some target scents may be labeled with a special markD．their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?A．The location of the false alertsB．The regularity of the false alertsC．The number of the false alertsD．The timing of the false alerts59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ____.A．dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogsB．dogs may act in response to their han dlers‘ bodily signalsC．the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to successD．well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers‘ signals60. The author thinks that Dr Lit‘s findings _____.A. should raise our concern in real lifeB．may not be useful in real situationsC．should be backed up by further evidenceD．will be widely applied in the near futurePart IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Zoos have become an important site for the preservation and protection of wildlife resources, __61__ those species that are endangered．__62__, many zoos displayed live animals for public entertainment．Presently some zoos have become scientific andeducational __63__ that have contributed to the understanding and conservation of wild animal populations．__64__ the challenges facing modern zoos are the cost of upgrading old facilities, the struggle to obtain __65__ operating funds, and the need to attract more visitors to new and entertaining exhibits．Many __66__ zoos in American cities have undergone renovation (翻新) during the last decades of the twentieth century．Among the recent trends in zoo __67__ is the construction of new enclosures that resemble natural habitats (栖息地)．The replacement of traditional steel bars and concrete floors __68__ appropriately designed surroundings improves visitor appreciation of the animals．Such renovations may __69__ stress on animals and allow them to interact with one another more naturally．Several major zoos conduct captive propagation programs．A captive propagation program includes the breeding of __70__ zoo or wild animals to obtain offspring, usually for release to __71__ or for transfer to other zoos．Captive breeding is one method of __72__ some species from extinction．Zoos have expanded and improved public education programs also, with education departments that develop programs 73 zoo exhibits．Public activities include in-school programs, zoo tours, special events, and websites．The Zoological Society of New York, for example, conducted a major project with a Western African government to monitor an elephant herd 74 it moved throughout its range．The importance of zoos will increase as natural habitats are diminishing．Through their efforts 75 conservation, education, and environmental advocacy, zoos will continue to play a critical role in wildlife preservation throughout the world．61．A．superficially B．especially C．importantly D．supposedly62．A．By that time B．By the time C．At one time D．At that time 63．A．institutions B．associations C．foundations D．corporation64．A．Along B．Forward C．Among D．Through65．A．limited B．professional C．sufficient D．excessive66．A．newer B．older C．former D．later67．A．management B．improvement C．achievement D．assessment 68．A．under B．for C．into D．with69．A．reduce B．cause C．increase D．avoid70．A．selected B．sustained C．promising D．surviving71．A．natural B．the natural C．wild D．the wild72．A．restraining B．saving C．sheltering D．exempting73．A．attributed to B．opposed to C．referred to D．related to74．A．as B．as if C．so D．so that。

The woods are mentioned again and again to indicate that they ( ).A.provide good places for children to play inB.are home to bears and thus dangerous to childrenC.stand for good environment around

great-grandmother’s time.Eat a variety of foods,don’t gain weight and avoid too much salt and sugar.But scientists keep changing their advice.In a 2012 U.S. poll,half of the respondents(受访者) said it was easier to do taxes than to figure out what is healthy to eat.Why isn’t it simpler?For one thing,nutrition or food science is really new research.It is not yetrelia ble.And,there’s lots of money to be made in the food business.So companie s willsay their food is healthy even if it isn’t.In 2011,the U.S. government put out dietary guidelines about cholesterol(胆固醇) and total fat.The panel of scientists wrote that a he althy diet is “lower in red and processed meat” because these meats le ad to higher death rates from cancer and heart disease.After strong objections from the meat industry,that caution was dropped in 2016.The 2016 U.S. nutrition guidelines have 204 pages.They are verycomplicated,making many believe that they have,at times,contributed to worsening health.For instance,warnings that the fat in butter and creamproduced heart attacks made people switch to nondairy creamer.But these contain the trans fats that scientists now think are more harmful.Furthermore,warnings to avoid fat altogether led Americans to eat significantly more carbohydrates(碳水化合物).The carbohydrates in “fat-free” diets increase sugar in the blood,leading to more weight gain.Some nutritionists think the guidelines should be easier to understand,which would put them more in line with the eating advice given by the World Health Organization (WHO).21.According to the first paragraph，as to what is healthy to eat,people ( ).A.prefer traditional foodB.are somewhat confusedC.trust the advice of scientistsD.keep changing their choices正确答案：B22.The example of the meat industry implies that ( ).A.food science is not reliableB.food business has strong powerC.nutrition scientists are wrongD.food preference is changing正确答案：B23.What do we know about nondairy creamer( )?A.It contains harmful trans fat.B.It increases sugar in the blood.C.It raises the cholesterol level.D.It leads to more weight gain.正确答案：A24.Some nutritionists think that compared with the WHO advice,the U.S. guidelines ( ).ck reliabilityB.make no senseC.seem too complicatedD.do more harm than good正确答案：C25.What seems to be the author’s attitude towards the U.S. nutrition guid elines in 2016( )?A.Indifferent.B.Supportive.C.Unclear.D.Dissatisfied.正确答案：DPassage ThreeAs the national attention to fake news and the debate over what to do about it continue,one place where many are looking for solutions is in the classroom.In Scott Bedle y’s version of Simon Says,what keep you in the game is to decide correctly whether a news story is real or not.To start off the game,Bedley sends his fifth-graders at Plaza Vista School in Irvine,California,an article to read on their laptops.He gives them about three minutes to make their decision—they have to read the story carefully,examine its source and use their judgment.Those who think the article is false stand up.The “true” believers stay in their seats.Bedley says he’s been trying to teach his st udents for a while to look carefully at what they’re reading and where it comes from.He’s got a seven-point checklist his students can follow.Bedley also teamed up recently with Todd Flory at Calamus Wheatland Elementary School in Calamus,Iowa,to do a fak e news challenge via Skype.Flory’s fourth-graders chose two real article and wrote a fake article of their own.Then,they presented them to Bedley’s class in California.The fifth-graders decided which article out of the three was fake.Most importantly,they had to explain why they thought it was fake.Otherwise,no points.Flory says writing the fake news article was more difficult for his students than they expected because they had to make it believable.“It really hammered home the idea to them that fake new s doesn’t have to be too eye-catching,”he says.“It can be a very subtle(微妙的) change,but that subtle change can have big consequences.”26.What is probably Bedley’s version of Simon Says( )?A.new course to learn about Simon’s news strategy.B.A lecture to follow Simon’s discussion of fake news.C.A classroom game to help students identify fake news.D.A reading competition to inspire students to read news.正确答案：C27.In Bedley’s game,the fifth-graders ( ).A.are encouraged to have a group discussionB.learn the tips for writing a good storyC.need to explain whether they like the news or notD.make decisions the way Bedley has taught them正确答案：D28.What can be learned about Flory’s fourth-graders( )?A.They wrote articles to test the fifth graders’ judgment.B.They teamed up with the fifth graders to write articles.C.They had a writing competition with the fifth-graders.D.They presented their articles for the fifth-graders to correct.29.The most important task for the fifth-graders was to ( ).A.finish reading within three minutesB.decide which article was fakeC.explain why they made the choiceD.team up with other students正确答案：C30. The fourth-graders understand that the key to writing false news articles is to make them ( ).A.subtleB.believableC.bigD.eye-catching正确答案：BPassage FourFor a long time,people have disagreed about whether golf is a sport or a game.On one side of the argument,people say that golf meets the dictionary definition of a sport,because it is a physical,athletic activity.They add that golf is recognized as a sport by sporting goods companies,athletic groups,fans,and the media.Also,golf’s inclusion in the Olympics in 2016 is more proof that it is sport.On the other side,people say that golf is a game,not a sport.They say golf is not a very physical activity and can be played well by people who are overweight orinjured.Also,golf was only recently added to the Olympics.For more than 100 years it was not included in the Olympic Games.For many,the Olympic Games serve as a measurement for whether an activity should be called a sport.Golf was first included in the Olympics in 1900.However,it was removed shortly thereafter because of a lack of participation and confict with other golf events.Through the years,there were several attempts to bring golf back to the Olympics.It wasn’t until the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil that golf returned.Some say the return of golf does not prove that it is a sport.Rather,it only proves that the Olympics wanted to benefit from the star power of famous golfers like Tiger Woods.The disagreement continues today.Those who think golf is a sport point to pro-golfers like Woods,who are strong and fit.Those who disagree point to golfers like John Daly.He is a successful pro-golfer who once had health problems.So is golf a sport?The answer depends on who you ask—and whether that person owns a set of golf clubs.31.All the following evidence is used to prove that golf is a sport EXCEPT ( ).A.professional trainingB.Olympic GamesC.dictionary definitionD.media recognition32.The overweight or injured people are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to ( ).A.demonstrate the popularity of golfB.indicate the special function of golfC.prove that golf is more of a game than of a sportD.show the physical,athletic nature of golf正确答案：C33.Which of the following statements about golf and the Olympics is true( ) ?A.Golf was first included in Olympics several years ago.B.Golf has been in and out of the Olympics a dozen times.C.Golf was brought back to the Olympics over 100 years ago.D.Golf was excluded from the Olympics for more than a century.正确答案：D34.According to Paragraph 5,the inclusion of golf in the Olympics ( ).A.indicates that it is a sportB.results from the star effectC.ends the debate on golfD.benefits its development正确答案：B35.The author seems to suggest in the last paragraph that ( ).A.golf is a gameB.golf is a sportC.golf is both a game and a sportD.there is no definite answer正确答案：DPart III Vocabulary and Structure36.The working group will be looking for practical solutions to the problems ( ) doctors.A .faceB .facingC .facedD .being faced正确答案：B37.All the cars driving in the opposite direction ( ) their headlights on.A .hadB .have hadC .havingD .had had正确答案：A38.An area in ( ) the computer has made big progress is in playing chess.A .whichB .whatC .howD .where正确答案：A39.We must have the patience to continue our work ( ) we find a more effective solution.A .soB .andC .untilD . thus正确答案：C40.We were glad that she ( ) a gold medal.A .will be awardedB .has been awardedC .had been awardedD .was being awarded正确答案：C41.I couldn’t find the tools;they might ( ) in the wrong place.A .putB .have putC .be putD .have been put正确答案：D42.I don’t care what others say; I’m ( ) you.A .forB .withC .underD .after正确答案：B43.Never ( ) of becoming the head of the information department.It is out of sheer luck.A .I dreamtB .do I dreamC .have I dreamtD .I have dreamt正确答案：C44.A close look at the statistics ( ) a troubling picture.A .reviewsB .revealsC .revisesD .results正确答案：B45.The central bank has lowered ( ) rates by 2 percent.A .interestB .interestsC .interestingD .interested正确答案：A46.We both got up and ( ) our way through the crowd.A .gotB .madeC .hadD .gave正确答案：B47.When we drove through the gates,she ( ) a look of amazement.A .putB .drewC .woreD .caught正确答案：C48.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of a ccomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on othercountries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the race on all seven continents.They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,” which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging, are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry.“In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous. Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the life style activity that it is today,” said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathonon King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to _________.A. meet requirements of his jobB. win a running raceC. join in a philanthropic activityD. get away from his sadness22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of __________.A. winners in the race on all seven continentsB. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activityC. running racers satisfied with their own performanceD. old people who live an active life after retirement23. A new trend in the travel industry is the development of _________.A. challenging runcationsB. professional racesC. Antarctica travel marketD. expensive tours 24. The classic marathon no longer satisfies some people because _________.A. it does not provide enough challengeB. it may be tough and dangerousC. it involves too fierce a competitionD. it has attracted too many people25. The first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island indicates that _________.A. international cooperation is a must to such an eventB. runcations are expensive and physically challengingC. Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industryD. adventurous running has become increasingly popularPassage TwoBefore the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. “In loco parentis”is a Latin term meaning “in the place of a parent.” It describes when some one else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied.Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, butas adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different. Today’s parents, he says, are often heavily involved in students’lives. They are known as “helicop ter parents.”They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.26. Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because________ .A. they could take the place of the students’parentsB. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their childrenC. this was a tradition established by British collegesD. college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults27.

They don’t move they don’t make sounds, they don’t seem to respond to anythi ng –at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose—to spread information about one plant’s disease so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.In this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy o f Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some explanations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛虫). To start out, they grew plants in two plastic compartments connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the others wereuninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar.The researchers also studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another.31.

Survival of PlantsB. Plant WorldC. Talking PlantsD. Plant Bug KillerPassage FourVancouver is the best place to live in the Americas, according to a quality-of-life ranking published earlierthis month .The city regularly tops such indexes as its clean air, spacious homes and weekend possibilities of sailing and skiing. But its status as a livable city is threatened by worsening congestion(拥挤).Over the next three decades, another 1 million residents are expected to live in the Greater Vancouver region, adding more cars, bicycles and lorries to roads that arc already struggling to serve the existing million residents.A prop osal by Vancouver’s mayor seeks to prevent theworsening conditions. Upgrades would be made to 2,300 kilometres of road lanes, as well as bus routes and cycle paths. Four hundred new buses would join the fleet of 1,830. There would be more trains and more “sea bus” ferry crossings between Vancouver and its wealthy northern suburbs. T o get all that, residents must vote to accept an increase in sales tax, from 7% to %. Polls suggest they will vote no.Everyone agrees that a more efficient transport system is needed. Confined by mountains to the north, the United States to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Vancouver has spread in the only direction where there is still land, into the Fraser Valley, which just a few decades ago was mostly farmland. The road is often overcrowded.Yet commuters’suspicion of local bureaucrats may exceed their dislike of congestion. TransLink, which runs public transport in the region, is unloved by taxpayers. Passengers blame it when Skytrain,the light-rail system, comes to a standstill because of mechanical or electrical faults, as happened twice in one week last summer, leaving commuters stuck in carriages with nothing to do but expressing their anger on Twitter. That sort of thing has made voters less willing to pay the C$ billion in capital spending that the ten-year trafficupgrade would involve.Despite the complaints, Vancouver’s transport system is a decent, well-integrated one on which to build, reckons Todd Litman, a transport consultant who has worked for TransLink. “These upgrades are all-important if Vancouver wants to maintain its reputation for being a destination others want to go to.”He says.36. The biggest problem threatening Vancouver as a livable city is________.A. increasing congestionB. climate changeC. shortage of landD. lack of money37. The upgrade proposal by Vancouver’s mayor may be turned down by residents because ________.A. they do not want more people to move inB. they are reluctant to move to new placesC. upgrades would take away their living spaceD. upgrades would add to their financial burdens38. The only direction for Vancouver to further expandis towards _________ .A. the eastB. the westC. the southD. the north39. TransLink is mentioned as an example of ___________.A. world famous transport companiesB. local residents’complaints about the bureaucratsC. local effort to improve public transportD. worsening traffic congestion40. According to T odd Litman, the upgrade proposal__________ .A. will solve the traffic problemB. will benefit local economyC. satisfies the transport companyD. deserves public supportSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and commentsare followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Towards the end of the 1990s, more than a decade and a half Diet Coke was first introduced, sale of Coca Cola’s best-selling low caloric drink appeared to slow down.However, in the decade that followed, diet sodas grew by more than 30 percent. In 2009, sales pushed above $ billion for the first time. But America’s thirst for Diet Coke is running dry again-and this time it could be for good.The diet soda slowdown isn’t merely an American thing--- it’s also happening worldwide. But the future of diet colas is particularly cloudy in the United States.Low calorie sodas are fighting a hard battle against not one but two trends among American consumers. The first is that overall soda consumption has been on the decline since before 2000. Diet sodas, though they might come sugar- and calorie-free, are still sodas, something Americans are proving less and less interested in drinking.The second, and perhaps more significant trend, is a growing mistrust of artificial sweeteners(甜味剂). “Consumers’attitudes towards sweeteners have really changed.”said Howard Telford, an industryanalyst.“There’s a very negative perception about artificial sweeten ers. The industry is still trying to get its head around this.”Comment 1Add me to the number of people addicted to diet colas who quit drinking soda altogether. I honestly think soda is addictive and I’m happy not to be drinking it anymore.Comment 2Perhaps the slowdown has something more to do with the skyrocketing cost of soft drinks.Comment 3I LOVE diet drinks! Am I unhealthy? Who knows? I guarantee I have a better physique than most 43-year-old men.Comment 4This is a silly and shallow piece. The reason for the fall off is simply the explosion in consumption of bottled waters and energy drinks.Comment5As people learn more about health and wellness they will consume less sugar, less soda, less artificial sweeteners.41. What do we know about diet soda sale?A. It began to undergo a gradual drop starting from 2000.B. It was on the decline since the 1990s but is on the rise now.C.

Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.When asked about the impact of disturbing news on children, one mother said: “My 11-year-old daughter doesn’t like watching the news. She has 46_____ about what she has seen. One time, she watched a report about a person who killed a family member with a knife. That night she dreamed that she too was being kille d.” Another interviewee said:“My six-year-old niece saw reports of tornadoes(龙卷风)from elsewhere in the country. For weeks 47______, she was terrified. She 48_____ call me on the phone, convincedthat a tornado was coming her way and that she was going to die.”Do you think disturbing news reports can frighten children? In one survey, nearly 40 percent of parents said that their children had been 49________ by something they saw in the news and that, 50_______, the children had feared that a similar event wouldhappen to them or their loved ones. Why? One factor is that children often 51_______ the news differently from adults. For example, small children may believe that a 52_______ that is broadcast repeatedly is really happening repeatedly.A second factor is that daily reports of disturbing events can distort a child’s 53______ of the world. True, we live in “critical times hard to 54________.” But repeated exposure to disturbing news reports can cause children to develop lasting fears. “Children who watch a lot of TV news 55_______ to overestimate the occurrence of crime and may perceive the world to be a more dangerousplace than it actuall y is,” observes t he Kaiser Family Foundation.46.
