When Susan was a high school senior, her English teacher Mr. DiMeo gave the class a challenging task: Recite a poem in front of the whole class.“I had a mild stutter （结巴）. I’d be 1 to get a word out that might begin with ‘D’ or ‘TH’, or I might say ‘the’ three times,” Susan said.

Susan went home and 3 how scared she was to her mom, who agreed to write a note asking for her to be 4 from doing the task in front of the whole class.When the day of the recitation came, Susan recited the poem one-on-one to Mr. DiMeo. 5 she was done, Mr. DiMeo said something she’d never heard before: that he liked listening to her voice.

Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1. Text 1 When Amber Post started graduate school inphysics at Princeton, her goal was the same as her male colleagues' : ateaching post at a major university. Now with her Ph.D. just a year away, Postis thinking instead about working for a policymaking agency in Washington.Although Princeton, with Shirley Tilghman as the president, is welcoming tofemale scientists, Post senses that her re- ception in the larger academicworld might be chillier. At famous universities, the percentage of women earningdoctor's degrees in science and engineering is considerably higher than thepercent- age of women professors--whi.ch means that a lot of talented women Ph.D. s like Post leave cam- pus for jobs in government or industry instead ofclimbing the teaching ladder. Stopping this female brain drain has been achallenge for years. At a recent academic confer- ence, Harvard presidentLawrence Summers suggested that women aren't succeeding because they lackability in math and science by nature. His comments drew immediate criticism.Indeed, scien- tists have uncovered some differences in male and female brains,but it's unclear how these differ- ences affect talent. Summers proposed two other possible problemsfor women:the conflict between work and life, and absolute prejudice againstwomen( which he seemed to dismiss). Many women scientists blame these twoproblems for the lack of women professors. Junior teachers need to spend their20s and 30s on research and publication. Those are the same years when women havechildren. Time is an enemy for women in other professions, especially law andmedicine. But while women doctors and lawyers benefit from lots of successfulrole models, academic science continues to belong to men chiefly. "Theatmosphere isn't compelling or welcoming, "Post says. "Too many of myfemale friends drop out of graduate programs simply because the environment isdisappointing, not because theycan't handle the math. " Even against this background, there has beensome progress. More universities are pushing hard with stepped-up recruitmentefforts and trying hard to assist staff members with young families. Butultimately, the best remedy against prejudice would be more women on top,like Princeton's Tilghman. 46. Amber Post is thinking about a job ingovernment because __ A．it isthe usual goal of the Ph.D. students at Princeton B she is doubtful about her future inthe academic world C．it isdifficult to get a teaching post at major universities D．shefears that she may not graduate with a Ph. D. degree 47. According to the text, the gap inpercentage between women Ph.D. s and women professors indicates that A．universities lack competitiveness in the recruitment market B．a lotof women professors have chosen to leave universities C．few womenPh. D. s are qualified for the competitive campus D．universitiesare faced with the problem of female brain drain 48. According to the writer, Summers'comments on women's ability seem to be based on A． hisown attitude towards women scientists B．hisrecent study on women's weaknesses C. the latest findings about human brains D.the conventional opinion about talents 49. We can infer that the most seriousproblem of women teachers is A． theirconflict with male colleagues B． thetrouble in balancing work and life C．theircooperation with male colleagues D．thedifficulty in their career advancement 50. The best solution to the female braindrain in universities is to A. create more academic posts for women B． offerhelp to women with young children C．dismissthose with prejudice against women D. promote more women to leadershippositions Text 2 Recently in the Scottish Highlands,260theatergoers were led up a well-lit, pin-tree-lined con- crete path. Theirdestination? A vacant water plant. The large concrete space had the impersonalfeel of an army camp--exactly the atmosphere the producers of Black Watch hopedto reproduce. The play is based on the true story of a Highlands troop sentoverseas in 2004. Essentially, site-specific theater refers toplays produced in places directly relevant to their ac- tion. At the MuseumHotel in Wellington, New Zealand, audiences filed into room 217 to watch a taleabout the various personalities who had occupied the room over time. "Ithink people are tired of the same old plays in the same confines of space,"says Paul McLaughlin, who produced Hotel."Drama happens all aroundus--at the bus stop, in a supermarket--so we attempted to show how people caninteract with the space that surrounds them. " To be sure, on-scene productions presenttheir own set of challenges. Producers of Black Watch had to scout aroundLondon for a location for when the show comes to the British capital. But formany audience members, leaving the comfort of their theater seats makes for amore meaningful experience. "A lot of site-specific work challenges theway you look and think, "says Nick Kaye, adrama professor at theUniversity of Exeter. Site-specific shows can also satisfy thegrowing desire for individualized entertainment fueled by on-demand televisionand the Intemet. In Faust, which the London-based theater group Punch- drunkjust wrapped up, audience members got to pick what they wanted to see. Housedin an old five-story storehouse in east London, the play featured different settings.Audience members could choose to watch a scene and follow certain actors fromlocation to location. Felix Barrett, the direc- tor of Faust, says today'stheatergoers expect more than just the traditional audience-actor relation-ship. "What I wanted to do was to create a piece where the audience cancarve out the night they want to have, and it stays with them. "Creating astrong sense of place goes a long way toward a- chieving that. - 51. Recently,260 Scottish people went to adeserted water plant A．to toura newly-built military base B． towatch a play about military life C. to visit a military troop back home D. to attend a military trainingprogram 52. The essence of site-specific theaterlies in the idea that drama A． shouldbe made as lifelike as possible B. should reflect people's feelings andideas C.should reveal what is going on in theworld D.should be acted by those related to thestory 53. Compared with the conventional form oftheater, on-scene theater to producers is less A．meaningful B．demanding C.convenient D．interactive 54. In the play Faust, audience members can A．revisethe story in their own way B. talk freely to their favoriteactors C．chooseto take part in the acting D.jump over uninteresting scenes 55. We learn from the text thatsite-specific drama is created to accommodate A. the change in what theatergoers expect ofa play B．theatergoers'growing need for a sense of place C．thechange in the role modem drama is to play D．theatergoers' falling interest in entertainment Text 3 Forgive and forget. Most of us find theforgetting easier, but maybe we should work on the for- giving part."Holding on to hurts wears you down physically and emotionally, "saysStanford Uni- versity psychologist Fred Luskin, author of Forgive for Good."Forgiving someone can be a powerful remedy. " In a recent study, Charlotte Van OyenWitvliet, assistant professor of psychology at Hope Col- lege in Holland,Michigan, and colleagues asked 71 volunteers to remember a past hurt. Tests re-corded sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension--thesame responses that occur when people are beside themselves. Research haslinked temper and heart diseases. When the volunteers were asked to imagineforgiving those who'd wronged them, they remained calm by comparison. What's more, forgiveness can be learned,insists Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. "We teachpeople to rewrite their story in their minds, to change from victim to hero. Ifthe hurt is from a husband's or awife's unfaithfulness, we might encouragethem to think of themselves not only as a person who was cheated on, but as theperson who tried to keep the marriage togeth- er. "Two years ago Luskintested his method on five Northern Irish women whose sons had been murdered.After undergoing a week of forgiveness training, the women's sense of hurt,measured u- sing psychological tests, had fallen by more than half. They werealso much less likely to feelde- pressed and angry. "Forgiving isn'tabout regarding what happened as harmless or acceptable, "says Luskin."It is about breaking free of the person who wronged us. " The early signs that forgiving improvesoverall health are promisings. A survey of 1,423 adults by the University ofMichigan's Institute for Social Research in 2001 found that people who hadforgiven someone in their past also reported being in better health than thosewho hadn't. However, while 75 per cent said they weresure God had forgiven them for past mistakes, only52 per cent had been able tofind it in their hearts to forgive others. Forgiveness, it seems, is stilldivine. 56. In Luskin's opinion, people could enjoybetter health if they A．holdpast hurts back B．avoidthe wrongdoers C．becomeless emotional D．let offthose who hurt them 57. According to Luskin, to forgive anunfaithful husband, a wife needs to A．urgeherself to see the hurt as nothing B．takemeasures in restoring the marriage C.persuade herself to put up with the hurt D． seeherself as the guardian of the marriage 58. According to the text, to forgive means A．to keepsilent when someone hurts you article B.to stop being angry with those who wrongedyou C．tothink of something tolerable that has happened D．toprevent yourself from doing wrong to your enemies 59.

In a newspaper.D. On the Internet.BFlying someone one-way fromLondontoNew Yorkproduces nearly a ton ofcarbon dioxide or CO2. That's alot of this climate-warming greenhouse gas. But there are ways to cut the climate impact of flying, one of which is to ask planes to surf high-altitude winds every chance they get.It's not something they've been allowed to do. But that may change—and soon.Most jets crossing the Atlantic Ocean follow one of several fixed paths that are widely spaced because radar (雷达) had not been able to track aircraft everywhere above the Atlantic. But a new network of satellites could soon change that.Wells was part of a team inEnglandthat calculated the fastest possible routes for passenger planes. According to them , traveltime a plane takes when flying across theAtlanticvaries with the winds that a plane meets. For instance, eastbound (向东的) flights can get a powerful push. Westbound routes miss that benefit. Faster flights burn less fuel. And less burning gives off fewergreenhouse gases.The airline industry knows it has a high " carbon footprint." But it takes decades and many billions of dollars to design, test and fly new planes. Changing a flight path, in contrast, can cut costs and energy right away.The new study doesn't show how well such wind surfing would work for all planes, in all skies and the world over. Bui it does suggest that making flight routes more flexible could cut both fuel use and CO2in some places.However, if flight times vary depending on the wind, scheduling connecting flights and managing runways and gates would become more complicated. The researchers would have to work out the best flight paths that take such scheduling issues into consideration. They may also want to see if flying at different altitudes gives a wider choice of flexible routes at the times most people want to fly.National Air Traffic Services (NATS) which provides air-traffic control for theUnited Kingdomsaid it would temporarily disband its flight-paths system and work to allow airlines to choose flexible routes that would best limit their fuel use.4. What happens to east bound flights when crossing theAtlantic?A. They consume more fuel.B. They use less time and energy.C. They produce more greenhouse gases.D. They are against a stronger wind.5. What should be done to make adopting flexible flight routes possible?A. Calculating the flight time.B. Finding the best flight paths.C. Adjusting the size of jets.D. Adding more runways and gates.6. Which word can best replace the underlined word "disband” in the last paragraph?A. Stop.B. Copy.C. Handle.D. Restore.7. What can we infer from the text?A. Planes are producing the most carbon dioxide.B. New fuel is benefiting airline industries greatly.C. Carbon footprint is a serious problem in theUK.D. Surfing the winds can make air travel greener.CWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. We know our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”8. What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?A. She had no friends.B. There was no privacy.C. There was a lot of competition.D. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.9.

Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China inBeijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency inBeijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned toChengduto open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”12. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C. Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.13. Why did Yu quit his job inBeijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family inChengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.14. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.15. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
