none of the 138 men aboard 36 ．In her book Captain Sir John Franklin prepared as if they were 37 in a pleasure travel rather than a challenging journey through one of earth's 38 ．environments．He packed a 1,200 volume library, china place settings and glass wine cups．Years later, some of them were found near some 39 bodies．The voyage was hopeless when the ships sailed into 40 cold waters and became trapped in ice．First 41 coated the decks, the poles and the rope．Then water froze around the rudders （舵）, and the ships became 42 in the frozen sea desperately．Sailors set out to search for help, but soon 43 to severe Arctic weather and died of exposure to its harsh winds and low temperatures．For the next twenty years, 44 of the expedition were found all over the frozen landscape．Dillard reports that on a voyage that was to last 2-3 years the crew did not prepare for the chance of the ships being ice-locked and the captain 45 just a 12-day supply of coal for the spare steam engines．Historians may doubt the wisdom of such a journey．But I have a question: Are we, too, prepared for the important voyage we've started-the journey we- call " 46 ”? I want to be as ready as possible for what may lie ahead．As long as we are alive, our journey is not over．And in large part, the success of our journey will be 47 by our regular and systematic preparation．36．A．continued B．returned C．existed D．survived 37．A．resulting B．consisting C．engaging D．ending 38．A．toughest B．excellent C．commonest D．superb 39．A．burned B．rotten C．swelled D．frozen 40．A．slightly B．lightly C．ordinarily D．extremely 41．A．ice B．wave C．steam D．water 42．A．lost B．moved C．locked D．opened 43．A．put up B．gave in C．brought in D．broke up 44．A．library B．place settings C．wine cups D．remains45．A．donated B．carried C．expected D．answered 46．A．trouble B．happiness C．life D．death47.

dreamed about winning the big prize in a lottery（彩票）We dream about 48 we would do with the money, but we 49 stop to think about how the money would change us．For most of us, our way of life is closely linked 50 our economic circumstances．The different parts of our lives fit together like a jigsaw（拼板）- work, home, friends, hobbies and sports make up our world．51 sudden fortune would change it all and break the jigsaw．For example , some people like the idea of 52 having to work, but winners have found that without work there is no reason to get up in the morning．In seems great to move to a bigger house in a wealthy area, 53 if you do that, you leave old friends behind．Usually, though winners are advised not to publicize _ 54 _ addresses and phone numbers, begging letters still arrive．55 they are not careful, most of their money will be spent on the protection of their possessions．Art ⅢReading Comprehension（30 marks）Directions: Read the following three passages．Each passage is

a smiley face underneath the day of the family calendar．A1l I could manage was a weak smile and an acceptance of the unavoidable event．While he was counting down the days until he left home, I still

becoming a man—boy．A few days later,1 walked in his room and felt it was an empty area of oxygen．Then I looked around and laughed．My missing scissors Just lay on the ground．Sadly, a single sock hung over the chair like a flag．An old and torn Michael Jordan poster hung on the wall．When looking through the possessions he left behind, I found Fred, his teddy bear ,which made the tonsillectomy （扁桃体切除术）seem a little less painful for him．He had marched into the hospital, holding the teddy bear tightly with great determination．And then there were loads of books, like the star wars series, which had fueled his young mind and actually helped motivate his ambitions．Now, he was off to serve his nation．I also remember him sticking his arms out like wings on my shoulders, making sounds like a pilot．He was five then．Who knew he would be a new soldier of the Air National Guard?For a while l wonder if this is a lifetime transition（转变）．when l was a girl baby, I needed my parents for everything．Then I turned into foolish independence and learned the meaning of “no " and“don't put that in your mouth”．Each year I grew a little more independent，finding myself on my own．But in my eyes my son is forever a kid．I never made much money, and I never really cared if my boy did either．I hope that he will face the challenges in his life bravely, tolerate thefrustration and never forget

important．Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you're choosing a place," that is a good match for your personality and interests．You can-t get the "feel' of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus．Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit．1．Explore on Your ownOf course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own．The trained tour guides will show you a school's selling points．But the o1dest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire plcture of a college．Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus．2．Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls．take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards．They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus．The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what's going on outside theclassrooms．3．Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall．Try to sit with students if you can．Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there adequate healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons（优惠券）for free meals in the dining halls．4．Visit a Class in Your MajorIf you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense．You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion．Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major．Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit—most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in on class unannounced．5．Talk to Lots of StudentsYour campus tour guide has been trained to market the sch001．Try to talk to students who aren't getting paid to impress you．These important conversations can often provide you with information about c01lege life that isn't part of the admission script．Few university officials wi11 tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking of studying, but a group of random students might.For more tips，please go to collegeapps．about．com．61. The best way to know about a college in an official campus t伽r is____．A．to walk around the campus aloneB．to take pictures of the campusC．to Visit the oldest and prettiest buildingsD．to hire a tour guide62．Reading the bulletin boards can help youA．decide the major you want to studyB．find out the after-class activities on campusC．get free coupons from the admission officesD．find out the options of healthy food63．If you plan to attend a class on campus,A．drop in on a class in your majorB．have talks with the students in the classC．make an appointment in advanceD．ask how the students like their teachers and majors64．To get a real idea of the college during a visit, it's best to talk toA．famous professors B．campus tour guidesC．admission officers D．random students65．Where does the passage probably come from?A．A news report．B．A tourist poster．C．An educational journal．D．A geographical magazine．CWikipedia is an online encyclopedia（百科全书）．This name is a combination of“wiki" and“encyclopedia"．Wiki is the Hawaiian word for quick．Wiki websites are designed to enable users to make addition or edit any page Of the site．Wikipedia has been accused of exhibiting systemic prejudice and mistakes．Critics argue that Wikipedia's open nature and a lack of proper sources for much of the information makes it unreliable,Mention Wikipedia within the walls of academy and you'll find no shortage of opinions．That-s no surprise．Can an online encyclopedia that is edited by anyone be trusted as a credible information source? Should students be encouraged to use this tool? And is it even possible to discourage its users?To find out, we performed a simple experiment．We selected 100 terms from the U．S．history textbooks, We chose a mix of items that students might be asked to research for a test or paper and we entered each item into Google to find out which websites the search engine suggests as the most useful links．The results are shocking．Google listed Wikipedia as the number one: 87 times out of 100．Several conclusions can be drawn from this finding．First, people searching for information about these historical terms are finding the entries from Wikipedia helpful．Second, 6'banning" the use of Wikipedia appears hopelessly simple-minded．Jimmy Wales, one of Wikipedia's founders, told the New York Times, "They might as well suggest not listening to rock & roll either"．To our untrained eyes, the information from Wikipedia appeared just as reliable．The reason why the content is mostly reliable is probably that these terms are rather mainstream．The high-school level content is less likely to be wrong than the subjects studied in graduate schools．So when primary and secondary students are researching history, Wikipedia is still a proper place to start．66．Which of the following can best describe Wikipedia?A．Wikipedia is from the Hawaiian language with the meaning of prejudice and mistakes．B．Wikepedia is an online encyclopedia edited freely．C．Wikipedia is an encyclopedia under public attack．D．Wikipedia isa t60l for enjoying rock & roll．67．What does "it" in the second paragraph refer to?A．Wikipedia's open nature．B．Wikipedia's lack of proper sources．C．WikipediaD．Information on the Internet．68．From the underlined sentence we can conclude that ．A．Wikipedia serves only primary and secondary studentsB．people are always ready to find faults with othersC．Wikipedia has a range of topics and is rich in knowledgeD．people hold different opinions about Wikipedia69．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?` A．Wikipedia can be useful in certain aspects．B．Students should be discouraged from using Wikipedia．C．The information from Wikipedia is totally reliable．D．Wikipedia cannot be trusted at all．70．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Wikipedia-a perfect encyclopediaB．Wikipedia-a misleading encyclopediaC．Wikipedia-a paper encyclopediaD．Wikipedia-a helpful online encyclopediaPartⅣWriting （45 marks）Section A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．In recent years, Smart Grid Technology is being promoted by many countries．It means the application of a digital system to the electricity network．Smart Grid Technology aims to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and use the information to create a more efficient power network．The digital system can be used for companies to collect information about 'supply arid demand and improve engineers' ability to manage the system．With better information about the electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential decreases in fuel needs and carbon emission （排放）．Moreover, the digital system will assist in reducing maintenance costs．Smart Grid Technology offers benefits to consumers too．Through Smart meter, the equipment used by consumers to record power use in real time, the technology makes it possible to charge differently the appliances（电器）used at different times．Therefore, consumers may use their appliances, for example, washing machines at night．Smart meters can also be connected to the Internet or the telephone system, making it more convenient for consumers to switch appliances on or off when they are out．With these changes comes a range of challenges．The first involves managing the supply and demand．Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable．With alternative sources, this is far more difficult, and may lead to the failure of the system．A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions, which lack electrical infrastructure．Therefore, it is necessary to build new infrastructure there．Although Smart Grid Technology is still in its early years, people believe that by the year 2050, changes in the energy supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behavior．Isn’t it a bright future?Section B（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Aaswer the questions according to the information given in the passage．Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit．Before I advertised for the position,1 was approached by another manager, my wife's friend, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff．It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts her boss had made to settle the issues．Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts．What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands．I told him l would think about it and would let him know the next day．After thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that l would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision．And, what I found out during this interview left me deep in thought．As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never encouraged his employees, and was constantly changing the workload and routines．The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident and hated to see a new workday start．I decided to accept her transfer to my unit．What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees that I had ever worked with．Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more responsibility．I was more than happy to give her what she needed-praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with．Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could．It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like．81．According to the first paragraph, why did the author plan to advertise?（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）To replace a receptionist for his unit．/He wanted a new receptionist．82．How did the author get to know about Maria after hearing her boss's description of her? （No more than 11 words）（2 marks）By speaking with her privately before he made any decision．／He spoke with her privately before he made any decision．83．In Maria's eyes, how did her former boss treat his employees? （No more than 14 words）（3 marks）He never encouraged his employees and was constantly changing the workload and routines．84．What reaction did the author have towards Maria's good performances in her new unit? （No more than 8 words）（3 marks）He praised, respected and encouraged her．/ He gave her praise, respect and encouragement．Section C (25 marks )Directions : Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.请以“My Most Unforgettable Experience in High School”为题，描述高中三年中让你最难忘的一段经历以及该经历对你的影响或启发。

He quickly fell in love with the island's clean,pure beauty.He first purchased a small resort there, Caneel Bay. He also purchased more than 2,000 hectares of the island and donated it to the government.That donation created the U.S.Virgin Islands National Park.It was officially opened as a national park on December 1,1956.How to get to the parkThe only way to reach the park is by boat.Some people arrive on their own sailboats.Others come in on large cruise ships.Visitors also arrive on water taxis from the island of St.Thomas.What to do at the parkFrom the tropical hills to the blue waters there are many things to do at the Virgin Islands National,Park.Visitors enjoy fishing,camping,sailing,scuba diving, snorkeling (浮潜),and bird watching.Of all of the park's beaches,Trunk Bay Beach is said to be the most striking.Below the clear blue water is a 200-meter snorkeling path. Hawksnest Beach is also a popular place for snorkeling.Near the shore are three small reefs of Elkhorn Coral.The Elkhorn Coral gets its name from its shape.The reef looks similar to the huge horns(角)of an animal called elk.It is a very rare kind of reef.Scientists say it is in danger of becoming extinct.The Virgin Islands National Park is often called America's paradise.It protects St. John's pristine nature,and preserves the record of human history in the Caribbean.Don't hesitate!

Instead, they will remain at the International Space Station (ISS) for the rest of the year and will return in February aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.their empty seats and blue spacesuits along with some old station equipment.After Nasa’s space shuttles were retired more than a decade ago, Nasa hired Boeing and SpaceX for orbital (轨道的) taxi service. Boeing ran into so many problems on its first test flight with no one onboard in 2019 that it had to repeat it. The 2022 do-over uncovered even more flaws and the repair bill topped $1.5bn.The Starliner finally blasted into space on 5 June from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station after unsuccessful launches on 6 May and 1 June. On the first launch attempt,a problem was found with a valve (阀门) on the second stage,or upper portion, of the rocket. On the second,a computer tripped an automatic hold just three minutes and 50 seconds from liftoff. That was later attributed to a single ground power supply fault within one of the launch control computers.Even after it successfully launched,helium leaks continued to trouble the spacecraft. As the Starliner approached the ISS, two leaks were detected but Nasa determined the spacecraft remained stable. What started as an eight-day mission dragged on for three months after the leaks and faulty thrusters raised safety concerns.However, Nasa and Boeing officials insisted that the astronauts were not trapped and that the technical difficulties did not threaten the mission. “We’ll come home when we’re ready,” Steve Stich, Nasa’s commercial crew program manager, said in the press conference in July.4. What does the underlined word “marred” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Underwent.B. Stimulated.C. Facilitated.D. Blocked.5. What do we know about Boeing’s spacecraft launches?A. They were filled with delays and setbacks.B. Starliner’s initial launch went smoothly.C. The 2019 manned spaceflight was a failureD. Reasons of the problems were still unidentified.6. Why didn’t the two astronauts come back to Earth on time?A. Because the project went over the original budget.B. Because they were both in serious health conditions.C. Because it was dangerous to take the Starliner then.D. Because Nasa officials failed to reach an agreement.7. What can be implied according to the last two paragraphs?A. The two astronauts would come back soon.B. Officials considered the situation within control.C. Nasa officials were pessimistic and pressed.D. The mission would be completed in 3 months.CActor Alicia Silverstone worried fans on social media recently. While on a trip to England, she posted a TikTok video of herself tasting a kind of poisonous berries she found along a sidewalk. Silverstone, who appeared in the 1995 movie Clueless, said she thought the fruit was a tomato. But when she bit into it and found that it had an unusual taste, she realized that it was not the common food.Plant expert, Jessica Damiano, recently wrote about poisonous plants that look like common foods for the Associated Press. She said the fruit that looked like a tomato appears to have been a Jerusalem cherry.Often sold as a houseplant, all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous.The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the plant is not only harmful to humans but also to dogs, cats and horses.Eating large amounts can be deadly. Silverstone was lucky because she did not swallow the berries. She was also lucky because the berries were reddish orange, which meant they were ripe. While all parts of the Jerusalem cherry are poisonous, the plant’s unripe berries can be especially dangerous.They can cause problems with the central nervous and gastrointestinal (肠胃的) systems.The Jerusalem cherry is not the only toxic plant that looks like a safe one.The poisonous Carolina horsenettle fruit also looks like a tomato. It is also known as devil’s potato to add to the confusion.The Virginia creeper fruit also looks like blueberries, and it can be deadly if eaten.Wild parsnip has flowers like a carrot and leaves like parsley (欧芹). Simply touching it can cause a skin problem. Creeping buttercup looks like flat-leaf parsley. It can cause severe stomach pain,vomiting (呕吐) and heart problems. And Canadian moonseed can be confused with wild grape. However, its taste is so bitter that you would likely spit it out before swallowing it. This is a good thing because eating it can lead to death.If you think you have swallowed a toxic plant by mistake, contact a poison control center in your area or your doctor immediately. There is additional information on the website .Damiano advises using common sense with plants you find in the wild. If you are not completely sure that something is food, do not eat it.8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To present the author’s argument.B. To introduce the topic of the article.C. To raise the public’s attention of wild plants.D.

When it comes to playing games like chess, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of humans. But we have one superpower they aren’t close to mastering:mind reading.We are blessed with a mysterious ability to reason the goals,desires and beliefs of others, a crucial skill that means we can anticipate other people’s actions and the consequences of our own.If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life — to cooperate effectively with us or to understand that a child might run into the road after a bouncing ball — we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.In psychology, the ability to infer another’s mental state is referred to as theory of mind. In humans, this capacity develops at a very young age. How to reproduce the capability in machines is far from clear, though.One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply “it’s raining”, they can quickly conclude the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences.Besides, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to emerge naturally from one’s own learning process. Building prior knowledge into AI makes it reliant on our imperfect understanding of theory of mind.In addition, AI may be capable of developing approaches we could never imagine. There can be many forms of theory of mind that we don’t know about simply because we live in a human body that has certain types of senses and a certain ability to think.But we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. Humans can clearly explain their goals to each other using common language and ideas. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI,plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines.Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen. But along the way thinking about other people and other agents, we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.12. According to the passage,which of the following contexts can AI understand well?A. When asked where an object is, a naughty kid points in the wrong direction.B. When a teacher asks for a boy’s homework,he answers “my dog ate it” .C. When you are treated with a hotpot for dinner, you reply “a sore throat” .D. When a mom tells her kid milk is good for health, the kid drinks it up.13. Which statement will the author agree with most about theory of mind?A. Humans’ theory of mind is far from perfect.B. Humans limit AI’s theory of mind to an extent.C. AI’s theory of mind development has been totally decoded.D. Shared forms of theory of mind result in more powerful AI.14. What is the author’s attitude toward truly self-aware machines?A. AmbiguousB. Conservative.C. Skeptical.D. Approving.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. AI’s Theory of Mind Will Define Our FutureB. AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is ExpectedC. AI’s Theory of Mind — a Blessing or Suffering to HumansD. Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

ARaising awareness of a serious issue begins with its being visible to students. Amazon has some fantastic things for classroom walls that you can get at a reasonable price.1. What is the poster about?A. The types of bullying.B. The ways of anti-bullying.C. The causes of bullying.D. The effects of anti-bullying.2. Which of the following does “sending hurtful emails” belong to?A. Physical bullying.B. Verbal bullyingC. Social bullying.D. Cyber bullying.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To sell posters.B. To report a bullying survey.C. To fight against bullying.D. To reveal a rise in bullying.BHave you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle (过道) and fill your trolley (手推车) without even realizing it.Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You'll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the possibilities of non- essential buying.There's also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they'll regularly move the products to different aisles to confuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is used across various retail chains.”“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits. “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that's why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That's why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I've started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can't carry it, I'm not buying it,” he added.4. What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?A. To encourage healthy eating.B. To save consumers' shopping time.C. To increase unnecessary buying.D. To provide multiple goods for choice.5. What does the underlined word “practice” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Distributing junk food in different areas.B. Putting milk and eggs at the back of the store.C. Reordering products in supermarkets regularly.D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the front of the store.6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Shopping baskets are better than heavy trollies.B. Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.C. Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.D. Taking a shopping list can be a smart move for non- essential buying.7. Where is this text most likely from?A. A psychology report.B. A business magazine.C. A research paper.D. A shopping guide.CYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization (受害) . The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way aslong as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.8. In what way is a creator different from a victim?A. A creator is given more challenges.B. Failure seldom comes to a creator.C. Storms are beneficial in a creator's eyes.D. A victim hardly blames others for their own faults.9. When people choose to think like a creator, what will happen?A. They seldom make careless mistakes.B. The world seems a cold and difficult place.C. Life is blessed with fewer opportunities than expected.D. They don't care what happens to them but think positively.10. Which of the following can be described as a creator's act?A. Tim failed his exam and thought he would never pass it.B. Sam lost his job and abandoned himself to drinking for months.C. J. K. Rowling was refused by a publisher and yet went on writing.D. Jessica broke up with her husband and chose to give up her own life.11. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. Benefits of Being a CreatorB. Creators: Act Now or NeverC. Creator or Victim: Up to YouD. Ways to Transform a Victim into a CreatorDA team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long- lasting solution to our fog problem. They have developed a very thin and gold- based transparent coating (涂层) that can convert sunlight into heat, which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles. It selectively absorbs infraredradiation (红外线辐射) from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object. The coating basically uses heat to stop fogging. The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation, which causes it to heat up—by up to 8℃.Previously, products like anti- fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog. The problem with such surfaces is pollution. Along with water, the sprays also attract dirt, dust, oil, and various other dirty substances, and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless. However, the new coating repels (排斥) water. Furthermore, the coating is significantly thinner, which makes it more transparent as well as flexible. It is heated passively and requires, during daytime, no additional energy source.Gold might be expensive, but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low. Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods, all cost- effectively. However, although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation, it does rely on a certain amount of light.The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications. In the process, they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold. There is no need to fear, however, this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer. The researchers have already filed a patent (专利) . Hopefully, this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.12. How does the new coating work to remove fog?A. By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.B. By keeping cool air away from the object.C. By creating a thin film of water on the surface.D. By absorbing infrared radiation to heat the coating.13. Why does the author mention previous anti- fogging products?A. To stress the advantages of the new coating.B. To introduce the inspiration behind the new coating.C. To prove the difficulty of creating anti- fogging products.D. To explain the reason for the anti- fogging coating being popular.14. What is the limitation of the new coating?A. It is considerably expensive.B. It depends on sunlight to work.C. It takes too much time to produce.D. It is difficult to clean and maintain.15. What do the researchers plan to do next?A. Apply for a patent for the invention.B. Develop the product for more practical uses.C. Explore the environmental impact of the coating.D. Seek a cheaper material as an alternative to gold.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。

Imagine towers of boxes, all of them filled with broken glass and discarded electronic devices. Technology graveyards like this can be found in communities across the country.Experts say that landfills and warehouses will overflow unless a plan for the disposal (清理)and reuse of electronics is put into place .” We can’t put electronics and glass aside and tell ourselves we’ll deal with them later , ”Lauren Roman , managing director of Transparent Planet said. Roman’s group works to improve the disposal of electronic waste. She says about 660 million pounds of tech trash is produced each year in the U.S.What’s behind the tech trash pile-up ?About ten years ago ,major advances were made in computer and television technology . Manufacturers began producing devices like flat –paneled LCDs and plasma(等离子) screen monitors. These new products provide a clearer image and take up less space than older models. It goes without saying that consumers choose them rather than heavy. Glass-based technologies.The new electronics are built with materials that are difficult to recycle. In addition, the new products have decreased the demand for recycled parts from the older monitors and screens. Older, heavier computer monitors and TVs used glass-based components called CRTs.CRTs have a high lead content and can be environmentally hazardous if not recycled properly . If crushed and put in landfills, the lead from CUTs could seep into groundwater and rivers, harming the water supply. For many years, plants and recycling programs safely processed CRTs. The recycled CRTs were reused in the construction of new monitors.Monitors being made today do not use glass tubes . “People are returning old –style TVs with CRTs , but no new ones are being made ,” said Linnell. This is creating an imbalance in the amount of glass being disposed of and recycled properly. Many recycling companies have shut down. Others no longer have the resources or space to process these materials. This results in stockpiling.However , experts say there are ways to safely and responsibly address the tech-trash problem. 66．What is the main idea of the passage?A．New technology causes trouble for recyclers.B．Experts are trying to solve the tech-trash problem.C．New technology has both advantages and disadvantages.D．CRTs from old computer monitors and TVs harm the earth.67.What Lauren Roman says in Paragraph 2 shows that .A．people attach great importance to electronic wasteB．he has found a new way on how to dispose electronic wasteC．figuring out how to deal with electronic waste is urgent\D．more landfills are needed for storing electronics and glass68．We learn from Paragraph 3 that flat-paneled plasmas and LEDs .A．produce wastes which are less harmfulB．are using heavy , grass-based technologies.C．are very easy for recyclers to recycle for reuseD．are putting heavy, glass-based technologies out lf the market69．What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A．Risky．B．Helpless．C．Extreme．D．Unnecessary．70．What would the writer probably talk about next?A．Some other problems related to technologies．B．Some experts’ opinions on the tech-trash problem．C．Some reasons why the tech-trash problem is hard to solve．D．Some practicable ways to solve the tech-trash problem．Part Ⅳ Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs．Three stages are often highlighted for them to follow in the process of finding a career recognizing abilities, matching these to jobs available and presenting them well to possible employers．Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought The second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career.

Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.If the graduates have ability and are determined, they will be lucky enough to follow an ideal career.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often these experiences appear over and over again in nightmares,Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill. which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.In November. experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea. Those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous. It is known that memories give us our identity and also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we'd want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. .Some people also fear that the drug would be abused although the drug should be used only in very serious cases. "People always have the ability to misuse science." said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher." All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.However. there are still some supporters. who believe it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. In addition, they say that nowadays there are many people whosuffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions. "said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering. "81. According to the passage, what experiences often bring people bad memories?
